The latest weapons, coupled with the fighting skill of the American soldier, stand ready on the alert all over the world to defend this country. View the American people against aggression. This is the Big Picture, an official television report to the nation from the United States Army. Now to show you part of the Big Picture, here is Sergeant Stuart Queen. After World War II, we watched a struggle beginning to develop between communism and the free world. The struggle at first seemed to draw most of our attention to Europe, to Germany and the Iron Curtain countries. Today on the Big Picture, we'd like to draw your attention to our other front, the Pacific. Here, as in Europe, the free world faces Soviet communism at close range. And here also, a former enemy has now become an ally. Japan as well as West Germany is vital to the defense of the free world. It has become increasingly clear that Japan's defense is our defense. The importance of defending Japan and how this is being accomplished is our story today on the Big Picture. No one has to tell these American fliers of the Soviet threat in the Far East. They know it from experience. Without warning on a recent flight off the coast of Japan, they were fired upon by a Soviet plane. Shortly after their rescue from the sea, they tell their story. We spotted the fighters off to our right. And I turned inbound to head back. We were over water then to head back over the shore for a reason that's unexplainable to me. I just turned back, perhaps just a premonition. I turned back to a heading of west. And when we were on a heading of west, I was notified by one of the crew members that a pass was being made and in the same breath a firing pass. Flames reported outboard of number one. And we had no way of controlling them outside of the engines. So I decided in the interest of the safety of the crew that we should leave. We did not fire back as much as I would have liked to simply for one reason. That I did not get my mission accomplished and either myself or someone else from our outfit was going back to get those pictures. An incident such as this serves to remind us that in the Pacific, the front lines of the Cold War are often somewhat warm. Here in Asia, a narrow sea separates Japan and the free world from Soviet communism. Along this unmarked battlefront, there is the constant danger of a communist attack. If Japan were to fall under Soviet domination, the gain for communism would be tremendous. Not only in industrial strength, but in the securing of valuable warm water ports on the Pacific. To prevent this possibility, a strong, well defended Japan is vitally important and necessary. Not only to ward off an attack such as occurred in Korea, but to maintain our own system of defense in the Pacific. In the constantly shifting picture of world events since the close of World War II and since the Treaty of Peace of 1952, Japan has emerged as an important potential ally of the nations opposed to Soviet communism. We have made peace with a one-time enemy and it is not in words alone. Our nation and Japan have begun to cooperate in a new and growing Western Pacific defense system in which the Japan of today is the principal bulwark. The desire of the ordinary Japanese to live in peace, the completeness with which Japan has accepted a democratic way of life, such factors have helped to allow this energetic country to rebuild its war-torn cities and to proceed rapidly along the road to post-war recovery. The chief legislative body of Japan, the Diet, no longer responds to the wishes of a ruling class. Gone Forever is the domination of the warlords bent on carrying out their dreams of world domination. Instead, Japan is governed by the people themselves through their elected representatives. Today, the voter rules Japan. Given their first chance to really have a say, the Japanese have already proven themselves to be great lovers of freedom and important potential allies in the Cold War between East and West. With women voting too for the first time in Japanese history, this country is quietly undergoing a revolution toward democracy. Yet it would be a mistake to judge post-war Japan by looking only upon what is new and recently changed. Ancient customs and beliefs continue. Here, for example, there is a gathering to watch a very old sport, the Yabusama in which archers shoot arrows at a target while galloping swiftly on horseback. The game is staged on the same course used seven centuries ago. Outside the big cities, one can see that Japan is poor. No longer can it derive wealth from colonial possessions. More than ever, it must rely upon the sea, for trade, and for all the contents thereof. Not only fish, but other edibles such as seaweed. Perhaps the most important factor in the future status of Japan as a nation and as a self-sufficient partner in a Western Pacific defense system is her ability to trade with the rest of the world. Trade seems the most likely means of strengthening Japan's economy and energetically she is pursuing this course. From her excellent harbors, her products are now being shipped to world markets and it seems clear that she will be successful as an industrial nation competing for these markets. In anticipation of greater commerce with the rest of the world, she is building more ships with help from the United States through the mutual defense agreement. Our aim is to help Japan help itself for her sake as well as our own. Our actions are based upon the realization that the communist danger is a real one and steps must be taken to face it. The clarity of the Soviet threat to take Japan by one means or another can be seen in the May Day riots in Tokyo during the last few years. Russia and red China working to lure Japan away from cooperation with the United States and into the red orbit are well aware of the advantage of millions of Japanese brought to their mainland as a labor force and put to work in a war economy. The danger from within continues and Japan has much to fear from a red attack from the outside as in Korea. Today, the communist strategy is being pushed on all levels, political, military and economic. Our answer has been increasing cooperation on all levels. In the sphere of trade, we are pointing out ways for the Japanese businessman to discover new markets in America as well as elsewhere. Japan, in spite of military defeat, is still the most advanced Asiatic nation. Her people have greater industrial capacity, skill, organizing ability and technical and scientific know-how. We want them as our ally and fortunately we are building our alliance on a solid foundation begun immediately after the war. Since the first days of the occupation, we have avoided the role of victor and instead have attempted to understand and guide the Japanese people. We have tried to show them the way and then allowed them to carry on by themselves. As a result of this post-war policy, we have earned a considerable amount of respect and trust. Our military occupation of Japan was unique because as a conquering nation we rejected force or even persuasion. We simply offered democracy. Japan, although steeped in the past, responded to this kind of treatment and our military personnel were accepted more as friends than as conquerors. They in turn found much to appreciate in Japanese life. To them, mysterious Japan closed to the world until the 19th century became a friendly country and a respect grew for the gentle way of life of the Japanese people. Troops stationed in Japan after the war found life here not always interesting or comfortable. Occupation duty was a job to be done and was far from home and duty in the states often seemed highly desirable. Also, there were periods of stepped up training and these seemed hard to understand. After all, the war was over. Although to some men the routine of active training may have appeared not only endless but pointless there was method to these refresher courses as later events were to prove. While these men were coupling their military training with occupation duties another military force not far away was girding itself for a major invasion that would ultimately shake the free world into full realization of the nature of communism in the post-war world. The attack by communist troops eventually came and many of these men who were here in Japan primarily as occupation forces were overnight in the thick of fighting in Korea flown to the front to halt the red invasion. The experience of these occupation troops who were small in number compared to the enormous red force that attacked South Korea has been a lesson in preparedness. Ready as these men were, many were lost. They were not enough to stop the invasion at the outset when it might have been stopped. Keeping a larger number of our troops in Japan on active training duty Prepared for defense in this area was our initial reaction to the shock of Korea. Duty in Japan in 1952 was serious business. Training maneuvers ready troops for action in Korea. This was the primary reason for these military preparations but there was another strategic reason for having troops here ready to defend and counterattack. The defense of Japan itself. With the war in Korea over the danger to Japan continues and men are needed on its beaches to fend off the enemy wherever he might strike. The expense of defending Japan with large numbers of our own ground troops mounted. Gradually a new strategy began to evolve after the Korean War based to a large degree on the developing techniques of troop transport by air. If necessary we could fly large numbers of troops to the scene of new Soviet crimes. In this way we would not be forced to place our forces in a long thin defense line in the western Pacific. The mobility of ground troops seemed to be one answer to the danger that the Reds might strike anywhere, anytime. There was no doubt of the value of having men and equipment ready to be flown on a moment's notice to areas under attack. But such troops could not alone defend us or Japan in the western Pacific. Some troops were needed along a defense perimeter in order to continually discourage Soviet attack. Until recently American troops have been used in Japan both for this local defense purpose and as a mobile air transported fighting force. Not long ago on Japan's northernmost island Hokkaido we maintained ground troops on a year round basis. These forces patrolling the shores of Japan closest to Red dominated territory are no longer in this front line position of defense. Today Hokkaido is not being guarded by American troops. Instead the bulk of the American force which has been required in Japan for purely local defense is being gradually brought back to rear bases. The departure of many American troops from the far east is part of a major change in U.S. strategy. Formerly our policy was to commit large numbers of U.S. land forces in Asia to a degree that left us no strategic reserves. In effect we spread our power thin. Now we are bringing back many of our troops to reserve bases such as Okinawa and Hawaii and the U.S. As a result we will be better able to use our fighting forces with massive retaliatory power wherever communism strikes at the free world. Our new policy is to deter aggression by responding to communist attack with highly mobile, naval, air and amphibious units with greater effect than ever before. These troops going back to Hawaii in most leisurely fashion will be trained on these islands to retaliate instantly in Asia or elsewhere by means and at places of our choosing. Meanwhile in Japan local defense will be handled by the Japanese themselves. Back in 1946 the nucleus for the present Japanese military setup was a well organized and trained police force. Just as in those days we were anxious to see Japan maintain internal security we are interested today in seeing the Japanese people well prepared to defend their homeland from outside attack. Back in the post-war years we provided American instructors to help the Japanese police in their training. In a similar way we are now guiding a new Japanese military organization so that it may become capable of undertaking the difficult responsibility of national defense. The National Police Reserve which was formed to preserve order in Japan had from the beginning many characteristics of a real army. Men enlisted for two years, lived in barracks, adhered to army camp routine and took part in formal military reviews. The discipline was encouraged but not by a stick, a method of enforcement for which the old imperial infantry was well known and feared. Instead of being drafted from the rice paddies, men were almost entirely volunteers and morale as a result was good. Careful supervision by our occupation leaders prevented any possibility of a military organization being formed which did not serve the best interests of the Japanese people. Officers and men of the police reserve wore uniforms similar to those of the U.S. Army and the organization itself followed the pattern of divisions, regiments, battalions and companies. Out of this police organization came the National Safety Corps, presently called the Japanese Self Defense Force, an army which we in America will regard with increasing interest for the role it will play in the defense of Japan and in our system of Western Pacific defense. The Japanese people turned out in full to watch their new army. It was different from the one that had paraded back in the days of imperial power. The men they saw were not the sullen types of the old army, soldiers contemptuous of the ordinary Japanese citizen. This was a different kind of Japanese in uniform, one whose first duty was not to the warlords but to the Japanese people. Today, many problems lie ahead for this new army. Most important is the need for adequate equipment which at present time her own industries cannot provide. Although we are helping to rebuild this Japanese force through our mutual defense agreement, more equipment is needed to match the increasing buildup of men and equipment in Asia by the Soviet Union and her satellites. More than an army is needed to protect the long shore of Japan with its many excellent ports. Japan does have a maritime force at the present time, but it is much less developed than her army, having some 120 small ships. Among these are 18 obsolete frigates and 50 slow landing craft. In the near future, Japan is expected to receive destroyers from the United States. Similarly, the Japanese Air Force is receiving planes and flight instruction. Gradually, Japan's ability to defend herself is being bolstered. For years, American troops have been stationed here in Hokkaido to keep an eye on the Russians, who occupied bases only a few miles away. But now on Hokkaido, we are able to pull back our troops to a position of strategic reserve and 50,000 Japanese soldiers, more than one-third of the nation's self-defense force, are moving in. The changeover is a real step forward in our mutual defense. In the turnover ceremony is an address by Lieutenant General Hickey, Deputy Commander of Army Forces in the Far East. In departing your beautiful northernmost island, we of the United States Army leave with a feeling of sincere regret at separation from our most hospitable and friendly people. The industry and individuality of your people have been an inspiration to our forces stationed here. Our stay with you has resulted in a feeling of mutual respect and has served to bring our two nations into closer ties than would otherwise have been possible. I extend to you the best wishes of the United States Army for continued success in your defense mission. We are reducing our garrisons in Japan as the Japanese forces grow in strength, but the goal of a self-reliant self-defended Japan is far from realization. In the meantime, Japan needs our aid, especially in her defense against air attack. Here in Japan, an American anti-aircraft outfit is on the lookout for Soviet planes every day, 24 hours a day. There have been estimates that the Reds have on the Asian mainland a minimum of 200 B-29 type bombers, more than the United States had during its peak effort against Japan during the Pacific War. In addition, the Russians are said to have several hundred light jet bombers capable of hitting almost any part of Japan. Planes could be over Japan in less than an hour after taking off from nearby Soviet bases. Under such circumstances, there is reason in this outfit for a daily 24-hour alert. These Americans in Japan have a job that keeps them on the run. Once they hear the signal, there's just one place to be, at the guns. With teamwork and practice every day, these men are becoming deadly accurate in the use of the highly complicated machinery required for anti-aircraft fire. Why this American outfit is stationed in Japan, what their mission is in our Western Pacific defense system, is stated by their commander, General Eugene Cardwell. World affairs require the presence of United States forces at strategic locations around the world. Here in Japan, an air defense system has been established that defends the length and breadth of these vitally important islands. The defense of Japan is just one part of the global air defense system that ultimately protects the United States from attack. We are depending on the Japanese as they show greater ability to defend themselves, but we are continuing to rely on our own men and their skill and knowledge in key positions in the Western Pacific. Were the enemy to attack, he would meet a strong local defense force in Japan and would then be hammered by a massive retaliatory blow by our reserves brought swiftly from rear bases. We have learned what we had to in Korea, and we will hit back faster if attacked with greater power. If we are attacked, we, the United States and Japan, joined in collective defense in the Western Pacific, will be ready. We are meeting the Soviet threat to our West by helping Japan defend itself and by standing behind her with our own forces in the event of Soviet attack. This is Sergeant Stuart Queen inviting you to be with us next week for another look at the big picture. The big picture is a weekly television report to the nation on the activities of the Army at home and overseas. Produced by the Signal Corps Pictorial Center. Presented by the U.S. Army in cooperation with this station. You can be an important part of the big picture. You can proudly serve with the best equipped, the best trained, the best fighting team in the world today, the United States Army.


We're going to do an experiment to determine Faraday's constant by electrolyzing an aqueous solution of sodium carbonate. We have a solution of one molar of sodium carbonate in the beaker. We're going to attach leads to the electrodes. The black lead will be the cathode. We're going to reduce water and produce hydrogen gas. The red lead is going to be the anode. We're going to oxidize water to produce oxygen gas. We're going to collect the hydrogen gas in a gas collection tube by displacement of the solution. The power supply will provide us a constant current. We're going to run the electrolysis for a known period of time. We're going to record the time with a stopwatch. We're going to turn on the power. We can see the oxygen gas being produced at the red electrode, the anode, and hydrogen gas being produced at the black electrode, the cathode. When volume gets down to about 47 milliliters, we'll stop the current and we'll stop the time. Record the time and convert it to seconds. We'll wait for a minute or so for the tiny hydrogen bubbles to collect. We're going to adjust the height of the tube and adjust the liquid level if possible so that the liquid level inside the tube and outside the tube are the same. The total pressure inside the tube is equal to the barometric pressure. If you're not able to equalize the two liquid levels, you should come in with a ruler and carefully measure the height difference between the liquid in the beaker and the liquid in the tube. You should measure that in millimeters. We use the data collected to calculate the grams and moles of hydrogen produced and the value of the Faraday.


What if I told you today that Nintendo is doing something completely unprecedented?  I guess that's the definition of unprecedented, right? Before that though, we do have a look at a couple other pieces of news as well. I want to thank you guys for joining us for today's little news cycle on the Nintendo Switch and things happening around Nintendo. We do have a game that leaked today as well, so we get to talk about that. It's gonna be a pretty nice show. Before we jump into it, I want to thank you guys for being here, reminding you to like and subscribe to the channel. We're on our road to 80,000 subscribers. I also want to thank, well, one of the sponsors of the channel here, E-Win Racing. You guys should go check out their chairs and products down in the description below. You can get 20% off using code Nintendo Prime, get your office chairs or desks just in time for the holiday season. Our first story of the day deals with Nintendo World, in particular, Super Nintendo World at Universal, Studios that is supposed to open next year in Orlando. And hey, we have apparently what looks like, you can call it a rumor because it's not confirmed, but we apparently have the map or the overall layout of this thing visible here. And as you're seeing here, you can kind of get a good idea of how things are gonna be laid out. You can kind of see Bowser's Castle with the Mario Kart ride up there to the right. Then you got like a desert area right below that. You have obviously Peach's Castle and all that sitting there right at the forefront. You have a snow area out in the top left.  And then just some other sort of general zone there to the left and right. Gazebo as well, whatever that's worth. So obviously this is just a generalized layout. There'll be various shops and vendors and other things going on all throughout this adventure. And obviously when you look at this, it sort of looks a bit small, but this isn't too scale of course. It's gonna be big enough to fit thousands and thousands and thousands of people in there. So, and we have no idea obviously what's inside things. Like you see warp pipes that go underneath the hills and that's how the entrances into the various areas where there'll be even more things going on. So look, I think it looks good. I think it looks fine. It's a slightly altered layout compared to the one that was built in Japan. But I think you're gonna find that the layouts are gonna be kind of altered and unique at each different location. I don't know where the area is here where you're gonna be able to go into an expansion because we do know there's like a Donkey Kong expansion going up in Japan. And I presume they're gonna have expansions at other parks as well.  I have no idea if I'm gonna make it there. It does open up right around the time of the Mario movies release. So could be a really cool dual thing to do, Mario movie release plus go to Super Nintendo World if you have to be down in the Orlando area. So, hey, pretty cool. And I'm sure a good pal, Mike Odyssey. I know he's planning to get some drone footage and stuff for you guys. So he'll probably have some really cool coverage of this before it even goes up over at his channel. So you should go check that out. So our next story deals with a game that seems to have leaked for Nintendo Switch. Remind me if you've heard this before. Borderlands 3 has been rated by the Peggy board for Nintendo Switch, Peggy 18. Now look, Borderlands 3 was actually rated by Peggy last year. And then the rating was taken down and deemed a mistake. Now that was only for the director's cut of the game. Which would have been a little weird if it was only that version since not all content is in the director's cut. So it's a little strange and maybe that's why they took it down because the rating this time around includes all versions and all content. So this kind of seems like whatever Borderlands 3 games coming to Switch will just sort of have everything. So that's gonna be really cool. No idea when this is coming out. It's not announced at this point. Some people are thinking this could be an announcement that happens at the game awards which it very well could be. But this is pretty cool. It could also be something that doesn't get teased until the next Nintendo Direct. Either way, this happens sometimes. And when it hits the ratings board it's probably coming out sometime in the next six months.  So our last story here is a little interesting because it's about Pokemon, Scarlet and Violet. And look, we could talk about sales, right? Another 500K sales in Japan. Another 100,000 Nintendo Switches sold. Yada, yada, yada. That's obviously good. It's selling very really well. And it's almost surpassed Splatoon 3's total sales. However, obviously we saw a pretty big dip this week. We don't know what week three's dip's gonna be. Week four dip's gonna be. It could get to the point that Splatoon 3 ends up jumping back ahead of it. But we're not here to actually talk about the sales of the game until we get, I don't know, some bigger number updates. Cause right now we don't really have anything besides the 10 million launch number. But we're gonna talk about something Nintendo admitted to and did that is unprecedented for them for this particular type of thing. Nintendo apologizing isn't new, right? Satura Owada back in the day used to apologize all the time for some of the repeated mistakes Nintendo would make, whether it was release slate related. Usually it was related to the release slate, but it could have been other things as well. And the thing is, we've never actually seen Nintendo apologize for the state of a game they publish at launch. Because generally speaking, when Nintendo publishes a game on their platforms, it runs pretty well. There isn't really any major issues. Even when Breath of the Wild came out, they didn't apologize for the framerate issues. Because the framerate issues only existed in two areas of the game. And this was a massive open world game. So what are they apologizing for? It works as intended for a vast majority of the game. So it wasn't a problem. Well, Enter Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, which has a number of graphical and performance issues. And look, it's kind of embarrassing. And it seems that Nintendo's not very happy about it. So they announced a new patch for the game. It dropped today. It does enable season one of ranked play, which is just in time for some of the official Pokemon competitive stuff that begins tomorrow. They also patched music issues with the Elite Four. And then in quotes here, other bugs. They don't specify what these bugs are, but they're probably bugs related to competitive play.  That's clearly gonna be something that's gonna be a problem in competitive play. So they probably patched up bugs related to that since the official league begins tomorrow. Now, what's interesting though, is when you click onto the checkout more of this update, and you see a little paragraph they put at the bottom of the 1.1.0 patch notes. And I gotta say, Nintendo might be pretty pissed off at the Pokemon Company and Game Freak, based on the wording here. Or at least Nintendo of America is pretty upset. Here's what it says at the bottom of the update. We are aware that players may encounter issues that affect the game's performance. Our goal is to always give players a positive experience with our games, and we apologize for the inconvenience. Apologize. We take the feedback from players seriously and are working on improvements to the game. So they are trying to fix it. But what's interesting is them apologizing and saying we're taking this feedback seriously. Now this comes from Nintendo of America. If you actually check the patch notes in Japan, there's a very similar message there. At first when I first saw this, I thought it was just Nintendo of America just being upset because their call centers are being berated over this game, their support centers. But it turns out that this sort of messaging also existed in the Japan patch notes as well, meaning that this is obviously coming up from the higher up people at Nintendo. Nintendo is not happy that there are this many issues with this game causing so much stress, so much animosity and so much negativity around Nintendo during the holiday season. The sales can be incredible and Nintendo's gonna reap the benefit of those sales. It doesn't mean they think it's okay for the games to release in the state they did. And when Nintendo's publicly issuing apologies on behalf of the Pokemon company and Game Freak, can you only imagine what's happening behind the scenes? Can you imagine the meetings that have happened since this game came out? Can you imagine the sternness coming from Nintendo going you are negatively affecting our reputation? People are running around saying our platform can't handle this game when it's your problem. Should have delayed it. Should have let us quality test it. Should have asked us for help to get this game. I'm just spitballing the kind of conversations that could be happening behind the scenes. Nintendo never issues public apologies like this unless it's really bad and it is pretty bad and Nintendo isn't just sweeping it under the rug. I thought Nintendo wouldn't even bother to apologize or even address it and just here's the patch notes, here's more patch notes, here's more patch notes. I didn't think they would ever specifically come out and say we're taking your feedback seriously. We know that there's problems and we're sorry about that. Nintendo doing this is unprecedented. They've never had to do this before because games have never released from them in this bad of a state. People have compared this to the Cyberpunk 2077 situation and it's honestly a little bit similar. Both games are unfinished products and frankly it is embarrassing. I've said it's embarrassing and Nintendo themselves must feel the most embarrassed because it's their name on those boxes. It's their exclusive game. It's an IP they own and they're just not gonna be happy with the backlash. So kudos to Nintendo for at least apologizing and admitting that this is not okay. And hey, maybe this is the kind of kick in the pants the Pokemon company and Game Freak needs to make sure this never happens again. Frankly, Nintendo is probably one of only two companies involved with this that can change the trajectory of future Pokemon games to allow time to make them correctly, right? It's the Pokemon company who manages the overall IP and all of the engrossing things, which includes the games, the cards, the toy line, the anime, et cetera. And then there's Nintendo who actually owns the trademark on it and has the exclusivity rights due to those trademark rights and they also own part of Game Freak in the Pokemon company, right? It's all a joint venture. Look, Nintendo is also one of the big players that can be like, mm-mm-mm, we're not doing this again. We need to look at your game before it comes out. I don't know that that's what's going to happen in the future, but Nintendo is definitely not gonna want Pokemon hurting their reputation, hurting the Switch's reputation or whatever future platform they have. So Nintendo is addressing this themselves, which, I mean, that's probably out of all of this. The best outcome we could hope for at this time is Nintendo getting directly involved because that's when real change could happen is when the parent company of all of this is like, you know what? That actually wasn't acceptable and we can't believe we let you get away with releasing this. Anyways, folks, you let me know what you think about this all down in the comments below. I am Nathan DeRublejans from Nintendo Prime. I wanna thank you guys so much for tuning in. It's been a really fun show. Sorry, I posted it a bit later today. It is what it is, right? Like, just gotta get back on schedule, gotta get back on task. Hopefully we hit it hard tomorrow, heading into the weekend. All right, guys, catch you in that next video.


We need tools to better understand the situations in which our hearing aid users are struggling. So we have taken COSI, the Client Oriented Scale of Improvement, out into the field and are continuously reporting on people's experiences while they are in the situation and simultaneously locking the environment that is around them. We have used the following procedure. First, the client comes into the clinic for their initial fit. The client lists situations where they have difficulty hearing. For example, a person can highlight that the sound is distorted when they play the piano. An app is downloaded to the client's phone so they can evaluate the situations momentarily. So when the person is in the difficult situation, they are opening their app and filling out on their experiences and simultaneously we are locking the acoustic environment around the person. Then they fill out in what environment they find themselves in, what their intent is in the situation, how difficult it is to hear, and how important the situation is and how often the situation happens. And then finally, whether their hearing aid helped them in the situation. Four to six weeks after the hearing aid fitting, the client comes back to the clinic for a follow-up visit. The client evaluates whether there has been an improvement of their hearing in the different situations. If needed, the hearing aids are fine-tuned based on the client's feedback. A questionnaire will also be filled out by the client, evaluating how they have experienced the method of giving immediate feedback on their listening situations in the field. For example, they are asked to rate whether they have felt that they had an influence on their hearing aid fitting. Now the client is again sent home and will evaluate on their experiences using the app. Six months after the initial hearing aid fitting, the client will fill out the same questionnaire that they did at the follow-up visit. And the data collection will be ended. We hope that this detailed mapping of difficult situations can provide more input for future interventions and hearing aid processing strategies.


Hello all, in this video we are going to see about how to check for duplicates in new mainly site reference manager. See here in this document I have repeatedly incorporated this lago et al as the first reference and also the last reference which has made the reference list like this and when you are using author date style such as Harvard style, APA style or MLA style the author name will be arranged in alphabetical order like this so hence you can easily find out there is a repeat of or duplicate of references present in your reference list but if you are using say for example van cove style I am changing it into van cove style so when I change this into van cove style it is very difficult to find out first reference and fifth reference and if your document is large that is more than 30 40 references then it is very difficult to find this repeat or duplicate of references so for that previously mainly site was not having any option now they have incorporated the duplicate options in the mainly reference manager site I will give you a caution that this duplicates is not as good as the check for duplicates option present in the older mainly desktop I click on this duplicates automatically the sets of duplicates appear here there are two problems with this option soon that will get upgraded number one is the references appear as per the DOI if you have not entered DOI then that duplicate reference will not appear in this list so since these articles have the same DOI that is identified as duplicates in this list so what you need to do is you need to delete any one of those references to make it only one reference in the reference list so if you do that the problem is if suppose you have incorporated the first reference and second reference if you delete this then automatically the reference get deleted there so in order to avoid that what you need to do is you have to check this duplicate in the reference list then come back here see you place the cursor somewhere where the citation is not present good to this reference list here you just type this lago so automatically the lago which is cited in this document will appear here that is cited both will appear here so what you need to do is if you if you click on this in this place it is getting cited so if you feel this is the better reference than this then you go to this fifth reference in you just uncheck this box and click on this box then you click on this save changes then automatically your reference will get merged here so that is how you can do this check for duplicates then what you need to do is in order to avoid confusion you need to go back to the mainly reference manager there in the reference list you need to see which one you have deleted I have incorporated the second reference there so I am deleting the first reference then the duplicate issue got resolved so when I come back here I click on update from library then that lago reference will not even appear only the lago reference which is cited will appear here the older mainly desktop version this was very easy where we can click on the check for duplicates and there was an option called merge the duplicates so when we select these two and we can merge so that this exercise was not needed if you like this video please click on the like button and share it to your friends thanks for watching
