The electric meter is a direct tool by which power enterprise charges for electricity Tariff. This paper describes software and hardware designs of MSP430F149 SCM as the core control processor and smart remote transmission three-phase electric meter with the use of power collection special chip CS5460A to complete power measurement. This instrument integrates data monitoring and measurement of the power with LCD. And it can realize the functions of data remote transmission through communication connection between ENC28J60 chip and main controller and easily of real-time monitoring, data collection, system monitoring. This electric meter has some advantages such as powerful function, low cost, strong disturb-resistant ability, etc. and can meet the management requirement of the electricity energy intelligence, which is one of the main development trend in the future. This smart power data collection system will get a good application in the power industry informatization process .

The value of community assessments depends on the researchers’ ability to reach a diverse and representative sample of participants. This process is particularly challenging when assessing the health and well-being of vulnerable populations that are reticent to participate in research because of demographic and sociopolitical factors. One such group is Latinxs (the gender-neutral version of Latinos or Latinas) of mixed immigration status who live in low-income, socially and geographically isolated enclaves in the Southeast. Framed by community-based participatory research and social marketing theories, this study describes practical strategies for health researchers, practitioners, and advocates seeking to engage and build trusting relationship within U.S. Latinx communities. First, identify and leverage points of entry to different segments of the communities of interest by engaging meaningful gatekeepers from different sections of the population and searching for places where potential participants gather. Second, reduce the burden of assessments by using incentives and creating intentional reciprocity. Third, establish critical, long-lasting trust with community members, leaders, and allies by adapting data collection procedures, ensuring confidentiality, engaging bilingual facilitators, and most important, being present with and for the community. Finally, presenting the findings back to the community can increase the ownership of the process.

Abstract Background Political, economic and climate events continue to bring the dismantling of communities and creation of new ones. Understanding successful models of adaptation and working with communities to address their health and wellbeing needs requires ethically sound public health research. Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) has been proposed as an equitable, empowering partnership approach to collaborative health research that encapsulates analysis, advocacy and action for the future wellbeing of communities. Meanwhile, a strong interest in ethical implications of CBPR continues in international literature, yet with a notable lack of research that captures the experience of researchers who had ethical challenges in their CBPR studies. The aim of this research was to address this lack of evidence by exploring those experiences of CBPR researchers internationally. Methods An innovative data collection method was designed utilising a purpose-built blog. This internet-based, qualitative online study enabled asynchronous international data collection on the blog. Participants were researchers with experience of CBPR and were recruited through social media platforms. Blog narratives of first-hand experiences of CBPR researchers were analysed using thematic analysis. Results The themes that emerged from blog data analysis were researchers' challenges with balancing participant protection and autonomy, dealing with partnership tensions, and the enduring impacts on the researchers. Conclusions This study enhances our understanding of ethical challenges in CBPR with evidence of enduring impacts on researchers of the 'tightrope' they walked in the interests of maintaining research integrity and ethical responsibility towards their partnering communities. Challenges arose largely from complexities of CBPR coupled with rigid regulatory structures of human research ethics review that struggles to respond adequately in the interests of communities and researchers. Key messages At this critical time for the future of humanity, communities can benefit from CBPR. A positive way forward for ethical review of CBPR exists for those with power to make a difference.
