Sleep quality and the intention to modify sleep behaviors among night-shift nurses
Purpose. To explore the relationship between sleep quality and intent to change sleep behaviors among night-shift nurses.
Methods. Full-time night shift nurses in the hospital setting completed a cross-sectional online survey including demographics, Snoring, Tiredness during daytime, Observed apnea, and High Blood Pressure (STOP) Questionnaire, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and the Intention to Change Behavior Scale (ICBS). The relationship between PSQI and ICBS scores was tested using Spearman\u27s rho correlation coefficient.
Results. Most participants reported poor sleep and did not engage in health behaviors that promote good sleep. There was a weak, positive relationship between PSQI and ICBS scores. Those who reported poor sleep quality indicated a high intent to improve sleep.
Conclusions. These findings support the need to improve sleep quality among night shift nurses

Innovating Inventory and Alert Systems with Object Tracking
Security system users require safeguarding inventory from potential theft while reducing manual tracking of physical objects. Our contribution harnesses the power of artificial intelligence and computer vision with YOLO to automate the process of tracking inventory items. The system sends alerts to the inventory manager when it detects particular events. Our approach was evaluated with KernProf profiling, interference, and orientation tests. The results were overall positive in these testing areas
