Abstract:
Urban particulate matter forecasting is regarded as an essential issue for early warning and control management of air pollution, especially fine particulate matter (PM2.5). However, existing methods for PM2.5 concentration prediction neglect the effects of featured states at different times in the past on future PM2.5 concentration, and most fail to effectively simulate the temporal and spatial dependencies of PM2.5 concentration at the same time. With this consideration, we propose a deep learning-based method, AC-LSTM, which comprises a one-dimensional convolutional neural network (CNN), long short-term memory (LSTM) network, and attention-based network, for urban PM2.5 concentration prediction. Instead of only using air pollutant concentrations, we also add meteorological data and the PM2.5 concentrations of adjacent air quality monitoring stations as the input to our AC-LSTM. Hence, the spatiotemporal correlation and interdependence of multivariate air quality-related time-series data are learned by the CNN–LSTM network in AC-LSTM. The attention mechanism is applied to capture the importance degrees of the effects of featured states at different times in the past on future PM2.5 concentration. The attention-based layer can automatically weigh the past feature states to improve prediction accuracy. In addition, we predict the PM2.5 concentrations over the next 24 h by using air quality data in Taiyuan city, China, and compare it with six baseline methods. To compare the overall performance of each method, the mean absolute error (MAE), root-mean-square error (RMSE), and coefficient of determination (R2) are applied to the experiments in this paper. The experimental results indicate that our method is capable of dealing with PM2.5 concentration prediction with the highest performance.

Abstract:

This research study was done to evaluate the effectiveness of alternative seating for a student with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder when completing a given task. The aim of this study was to note the difference in task completion duration when given the alternative form of seating. Research was done through observation and data collection over a four-week timeframe at a public school in Olympia Fields, Illinois. This elementary school serves a population of both general education students and special education students. The study looks at a special education kindergarten student who is placed in the general education setting for a majority of his school day. During the study, data was collected in the special education room during the students’ resource minutes in the morning half of the school day. The aim of the study was to observe the effects of the use of a standard classroom chair to the use of a Kids Stay-N-Play Ball when performing task completion. Data from the five-week period was analyzed as well as interviews with the staff and student, and field notes from the researcher. This study found that the implementation of a yoga ball as alternative seating with a student diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder was beneficial during academic instruction. There was both a decrease in task completion duration and a decrease in maladaptive behaviors for the student being directly observed. Based on the data collection, observations, and interviews, the use of alternative seating showed an increase in time-on-task as well.

Abstract:
Die vorliegende Arbeit enthält fünf Studien, die einen Beitrag zur Aufklärung der Determinanten individueller Differenzen beim konzentrierten Arbeiten leisten sollten. Im Unterschied zu bisherigen Arbeiten lag der Schwerpunkt hier nicht allein auf der Frage nach dem Zusammenhang handelsüblicher Konzentrationstests mit entsprechenden Zielkriterien (z. B. selbstberichtete Konzentration im Alltag) sondern auf Aufgabenvariablen, welche experimentell manipuliert wurden. Studie 1 untersuchte, ob sich für alternative Kennwerte der Leistung in Konzentrationstests ausreichende psychometrische Gütekriterien zeigen lassen. Von den untersuchten Kennwerten zeigte sich der Variationskoeffizient der Reaktionszeit (RTCV) als ausreichend retestreliabel und unabhängig von klassischen Kennwerten konzentrierten Arbeitens (Tempo und Fehlerneigung). RTCV erwies sich als Maß der Temposchwankung als brauchbarer Indikator für eine Leistungsdimension konzentrierten Arbeitens, die Informationen über die klassischen Konzentrationsfacetten hinaus liefert. In Studie 2 ging es um selbstberichtete Konzentration im Alltag, insbesondere um Zusammenhänge mit klassischen Persönlichkeitsmerkmalen. Der oft berichtete positive Zusammenhang zwischen Neurotizismus und selbstberichteter Fehlerneigung im Alltag konnte nicht nur repliziert werden, sondern auf der Ebene von Subfacetten differenziert werden. Neurotizismus war hauptsächlich mit einer speziellen Form kognitiver Fehlleistungen assoziiert, nämlich mit spontan auftretenden Intrusionen aus dem Langzeitgedächtnis, welche das Arbeitsgedächtnis zeitweilig präokkupieren und zu temporärer Leistungsminderung im Alltagsleben führen können. Die Studien 3 bis 5 hatten das Ziel, eine Reihe von experimentellen Aufgabenvariablen in Konzentrationstests hinsichtlich ihrer Bedeutung für die Retestreliabilität und die Validität zu untersuchen. Es ging unter anderem um Zusammenhänge zwischen Aspekten der Leistung im Test und Aspekten der Persönlichkeit und Fehlerneigung im Alltag. Die experimentelle Anordnung erlaubte eine Prüfung der Annahme von M. W. Eysenck et al. (2007), dass hoher Neurotizismus mit einer Leistungsminderung in auf Wahlreaktionen basierenden Aufgabenformen einhergeht, welche mit zunehmender Itemschwierigkeit größer werden sollte. Diese Annahme wurde geprüft für den Fall eines großen Itemsets (Studie 3: viele Items sollten das Lernen von S-R Verbindungen verhindern, so dass der Einsatz von zusätzlichen Verarbeitungsressourcen auch tatsächlich zu mehr Fehlern führen sollte), für den Fall der Testverlängerung (Studie 4: andauernde Informationsverarbeitung sollte einen differentiellen Ermüdungseffekt evozieren) und auch für den Fall einer vergleichsweise erhöhten Belastung des Arbeitsgedächtnisses (Studie 5). Entgegen der Annahme von M. W. Eysenck et al. (2007) führte ein großes Itemset zu schnelleren Reaktionen im Konzentrationstest bei Personen mit hohem Neurotizismus; hingegen konsistent mit der Annahme von M. W. Eysenck et al. (2007) führte ein großes Itemset zu mehr Fehlern im Konzentrationstest bei Personen mit hohem Neurotizismus. Eine Testverlängerung führte nicht zu persönlichkeitsbezogenen Unterschieden in der Leistung. Eine Erhöhung der Itemschwierigkeit jedoch evozierte einen deutlichen Zusammenhang zwischen Neurotizismus und Reaktionszeitvariabilität. Wenn man hohe Reaktionszeitvariabilität ebenfalls als einen Marker für ineffizientes Arbeiten ansieht, dann kann das Modell von M. W. Eysenck et al. (2007) als partiell unterstützt angesehen werden. Außerdem stand die Frage nach der konvergenten Validität zwischen selbstberichteter Konzentration im Alltag und objektiv getesteter Konzentrationsleistung im Vordergrund. Da subjektive und objektive Konzentration das gleiche Konstrukt beanspruchen, jedoch oft keine entsprechenden Zusammenhänge gefunden wurden, stellte sich die Frage, welche experimentellen Aufgabenfaktoren für den Zusammenhang kritisch sind. Die Frage konnte zum Teil beantwortet werden, denn es zeigte sich konsistent über alle Studien hinweg ein moderater positiver Zusammenhang zwischen den Werten des Cognitve Failures Questionnaire (CFQ) und RTCV, nicht jedoch zwischen CFQ und den traditionellen Kennwerten Tempo und Fehlerneigung. Eine Erhöhung der Itemschwierigkeit im Konzentrationstest ließ diese Korrelationen besonders hervortreten (Studie 5). Dies hat Implikationen für die Frage, mit welchem Aufgabenmaterial das Konstrukt Konzentration am besten erfasst werden kann. Einige Autoren argumentieren für den Einsatz von komplexem Material (da die diagnostische Breite größer ist); andere Autoren jedoch argumentieren für besonders einfache Aufgabenformen (da komplexere Aufgabenformen nicht die reine Konzentration messen und die Korrelationen zu anderen Konstrukten wie Intelligenz immer größer werden). Die wiederholt gezeigten Zusammenhänge zwischen Reaktionszeitvariabilität und CFQ leisten entsprechend einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Konstruktvalidität von Konzentrationstests, da konventionelle Testverfahren bisher nur die traditionellen Kennwerte Tempo und Fehlerneigung verwendeten.

Abstract:
Bakgrund: Fysisk aktivitet har observerats ha positiva effekter på kognitiva förmågor, såsom koncentration. Studier saknas kring den akuta effekten på en population bestående av universitetsstudenter.   Syfte: Undersöka om aerob fysisk aktivitet påverkar koncentrationen i ett akut skede samt undersöka sambandet mellan aktivitetsminuter per vecka och koncentrationsförmågan hos universitetsstudenter.   Metod: En experimentell kvantitativ studie med cross-over design. Totalt deltog 26 universitetsstudenter vars koncentrationsförmåga mättes med koncentrationstestet Trail making test (TMT) A och B samt självskattning genom Numeric rating scale efter en intervention bestående av fysisk aktivitet och efter utebliven intervention. Data avseende deltagarnas aktivitetsnivå samlades in genom en enkät från folkhälsomyndigheten.   Resultat: Ingen statisk signifikant (p≤0,05) skillnad sågs på objektiv eller upplevd koncentrationsförmåga. Då deltagarna fick intervention var medianen på TMT B minus A 26,8 sek (IQR=9,9), NRS 8 (IQR=2) och vid utebliven intervention var medianen på TMT B minus A 31,2 sek (IQR=11,7), NRS 7 (IQR=2). Det sågs heller ingen statistik signifikant korrelation mellan aktivitetsminuter och objektiv koncentration (r=-0,25) samt upplevd koncentrationsförmåga (r=0,11).   Slutsats: Måttlig fysisk aktivitet hade inte någon effekt på objektiv eller upplevd koncentrationsförmågan i ett akut skede och ingen korrelation kunde ses mellan fysisk aktivitetsnivå och koncentrationsförmåga hos en grupp universitetsstudenter.
Background: Physical activity has been observed to have positive effects on concentration. The short-term effect hasn’t been studied to the same degree and haven’t been studied in university students.   Objective: Examine whether physical activity has any short-term effect on concentration and examine the correlation between general physical activity and concentration in university students.   Methods: An experimental quantitative cross-over design. A total of 26 students whose concentration was measured Trail making Test (TMT) A and B and Numeric rating scale following an intervention consisting of physical activity and non-intervention. Data regarding minutes of activity per week was collected by a questionnaire from folkhälsomyndigheten.    Results: There was no statistical significance (p≤0,05) in concentration. The median from TMT B minus A was 26,8 sec (IQR=9,9), NRS 8 (IQR=2) when intervention was administrated and the median from TMT B minus A was 31,2 sec (IQR=11,7), NRS 7 (IQR=2) when no intervention was administrated. There was no statistical significance in the correlation between weekly minutes of physical activity and objective concentration (r=-0,025) or self-reported concentration (r=0,11).   Conclusion: Physical activity did not have a short-term effect on objective or self-reported concentration. There was no correlation between physical activity and concentration.

Abstract:
Les interruptions sont l’un des phénomènes les plus perturbants pour la concentration au travail. Alors que leur nombre ne cesse d’augmenter avec la multiplication des notifications et l’ouverture des espaces de travail, le milieu professionnel commence à se rendre compte qu’elles nuisent à la productivité, mais aussi au bien-être en entreprise. C’est pourquoi un grand nombre de scientifiques ont cherché à comprendre les causes et les conséquences spécifiques des interruptions, en étudiant les différentes situations possibles. De nombreuses questions restent toutefois sans réponses.Dans ce travail de thèse, nous nous sommes focalisés sur l’effet de quatre types d’interruption, pour lesquels soit les causes ne sont pas ou mal connues, soit les conséquences n’avaient encore jamais été étudiées : (i) la complexité de la tâche interruptrice (ii) le moment de survenue de l’interruption (iii) la source de l’interruption et (iv) le caractère agréable de la tâche interruptrice. Nous nous sommes également intéressés à deux contextes de travail bien spécifiques, à savoir le tri d’emails et la détection d’armes dissimulées dans des valises.Avec 6 études, nous avons pu en apprendre davantage sur les effets de chacune des caractéristiques des interruptions précédemment citées, ainsi que l’effet des interruptions en fonction de la tâche qu’elles suspendent. Nous avons également pu identifier précisément les processus cognitifs impliqués dans la suspension de la tâche interrompue, en fonction de sa caractéristique manipulée.Ce travail de thèse a ainsi apporté un certain nombre de découvertes empiriques, que nous avons discuté à la lumière de la littérature et de différents modèles théoriques, auxquels nous avons proposé quelques améliorations. Ces travaux ont également un intérêt pratique, car ils nous ont permis de proposer des recommandations sur l’organisation des espaces de travail et sur l’utilisation des moyens de communication en entreprise
Interruptions are one of the most disturbing phenomena for concentration at workplace. While they are constantly increasing with the multiplication of notifications and the opening of workspaces, the professional world is beginning to realize that they are detrimental to productivity but also to the well-being of workers. This is why a large number of scientists havesought to understand the specific causes and consequences of interruptions, by studying the different possible situations. However, many questions remain unanswered.In this thesis, we focused on the effect of four types of interruptions, for which either the causes are not or poorly known, or the consequences had never been studied before: (i) the complexity of the switching task, (ii) the timing of the interruption, (iii) the source of the interruption and (iv) the pleasant nature of the switching task. We also looked at two very specific working contexts, namely the sorting of emails and the detection of weapons hidden in suitcases.With 6 studies, we were able to learn more about the effects of each of the abovementioned interruption characteristics. We were also able to identify precisely the cognitive processes involved in the suspension of the interrupted task, according to its manipulated characteristic.This thesis has thus brought a number of empirical discoveries, which we have discussed in the light of the literature and various theoretical models, to which we have proposed some improvements. This work is also of practical interest, as it has enabled us to make recommendations on the organization of workspaces and on the use of communication mediain companies

Abstract:

When athletes and coaches discuss reasons for success or failure the word concentration has an important role. Likewise, in sport research, the term attention tends to have the same central position. This notion gives the impression that everyone seems to know what concentration is and how it affects sport performances. However, the many theories in cognitive psychology are not primarily designed to be applied in the setting of sport and exercise, and thus have little or no validity in that field. Instead of applying scientific knowledge, the field of sport enhancement often utilizes myths and folklore as bases for practice and exercise.

This thesis started as a quest for this well-known concentration and often required state of mind. The overarching purpose of this hunt was to discover aspects that influence the ability of concentration in sport and exercise settings. The aim was to examine the usefulness of cognitive psychology and scientific methods in the field of sports. The search for concentration has follows three tracks. The first line of investigation was to study variations in concentration. The second path was to validate the Test of Attentional and Interpersonal Style (TAIS), (Nideffer, 1976). The third trail was to review the theory of ironic processing in mental control (Wegner, 1992) and try out its applications on sport performances movements.

The search of variations in concentration was carried out through interviewing and measuring heart rate of athletes from golf, pistol shooting, basketball, tennis, and handball. The results showed that the concentration vary within and between sports and athletes. The validation of TAIS was performed on a sample of 1230 athletes from different sports. The result confirms that the basic theory of TAIS not was adequate to explain the functions of attention on the basis of modern theories of cognition. TAIS did not manage to differentiate between different level of skills and between different sports. The original subscales of TAIS were not validated by a factor analysis. The application of ironic processing in sport settings was examined in a series of six studies. The result of these studies showed no support of any impact of ironic processing.

The overall conclusions of the quest for the covet concentration in sport settings can be summarized in one word, variation. It is difficult to consider the notion of general concentration in sports settings because of great differences within and between sports and individuals. These results cast doubt on the efficiency of universal concentration improving techniques. The review of theories of cognitive psychology showed that many modern theories are conspicuous by one's absence in the field of sport psychology. Perhaps the improvements in the sport arenas could be faster if the knowledge of cognitive psychology was better.

Full text
Abstract:
Many students are struggling with attention in class. On the other hand, many teachers are struggling with using their limited time to support students with diverse needs. The purpose of the research project is to explore and develop effective intervention strategies that teachers can use at a low cost to support students who are experiencing difficulty with their attention (concentration) in the classroom so as to promote inclusiveness in education. The terms ‘Peer Support’ and ‘Whole Class Strategies’ are nothing new. Yet this study used a relatively new way to use Peer Support and Whole Class Strategies as interventions to improve on-task behaviour of primary students who struggled with attention. A single case experimental design was adopted to investigate the impacts of the interventions. Four Year 5 students, the Class Teacher and the school’s SENCo participated in using the strategies. The effectiveness of the strategies and the experience of using them from the student and teacher participants’ perspectives were explored by mixed methods. Systematic observation was used to collect quantitative data on the student participants’ time-on-task rates over different intervention phases while semi-structured individual interviews were conducted to collect qualitative data on the participants’ experiences. Results showed that marked improvements in the time-on-task rates were found in all participating students when each of the intervention strategies was implemented. Triangulation of data from students’ perspectives supported the conclusion that both strategies were effective. However, the Class Teacher’s view only supported the effectiveness of Whole Class Strategies, but not Peer Support. Analysis of qualitative data further revealed how the participants interacted with the intervention strategies. Several main themes generated from the student participant’s interview data on Peer Support were related to executive functions which echoed with the literature on attention difficulties. Thematic analysis of teacher participants’ interview data suggested that evaluation of the effectiveness of Peer Support might had been modulated by expectations.

Abstract:

Persons suffering from Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) struggle with complications within the functions that regulate and control the brain activities, due to deficiencies in these functions within the affected nerve-paths. ADHD is a cognitive function impairment characterised by inattention, impulsiveness and over activity. According to Diagnostic and Statistic Manual of Mental Disorders, American Psychiatric Association (DSM-IV), certain diagnostic criteria of ADHD must be fulfilled in order for a person to be diagnosed with ADHD. The everyday problems caused by ADHD are individual and medication can have positive effects relieving the person’s impairing behaviour. The study is based on scientific literature, three quantitative scientific articles and preview material from the last study by Johnson, Fransson, Kadesjö & Gillberg, presently being scrutinised. Swedish as well as English literature has been used. The purpose of this study is to shed some light upon whether medication facilitates the child’s school situation. The result deals with the ADHD diagnosis and pharmacological therapy involving drugs that stimulate the central nervous system, as well as naturopathic medicine like Omega-3/6. The pedagogical aspect for children with ADHD in school has been observed and evaluated. In this matter it is important for the pedagogue to encourage the child by letting it find out that it can manage more than it thinks.

Abstract:

Syftet med det här arbetet var att undersöka utifrån några pedagogers perspektiv hur koncentrationssvårigheter beskrivs samt hur elevers koncentrationssvårigheter påverkar andra elever/klassen. Jag valde att göra en intervjustudie, där jag intervjuade fyra pedagoger utifrån deras erfarenheter och upplevelser. Jag ställde frågor som berörde svårigheter och yttrande av koncentrationssvårigheter, de andra elevernas reaktioner samt påverkan på klassen.

Resultatet av undersökningen visade att pedagogerna upplever att elever kan tycka att det är jobbigt och kan själva bli störda av barnet med koncentrationssvårigheter. Det framkom också att barnen runtomkring lär sig att hantera situationen genom att t.ex. ignorera. Pedagogerna tryckte på en öppen och rak kommunikation och värderade diskussioner med klassen högt, allt detta för att skapa en förståelse barnen emellan.

Forskning kring koncentrationssvårigheter finns det en uppsjö av. Den medicinska, sociala och den pedagogiska delen finns oftast med, men hur koncentrationssvårigheterna påverkar omgivningen finns det sämre av. Därför valde jag att också belysa eleverna runtomkring elever med koncentrationssvårigheter utifrån pedagogers perspektiv.


The purpose of this work was to study from a couple of teachers perspective how concentrations difficulties is being described and also how pupil.s concentration difficulties influence other pupils/the class. I chose to do an interviewstudy, where I interviewed four teachers from out of their experiences. I asked questions which touched diffuculties and how it manifests, the other pupils reactions and the influence on the class.

The result of the study showed that the teachers experience that pupils can feel that it is hard and can get disturbed by the child with concentration difficulties. It also came to light that the children around is making up strategies to handle the situation, for an example by ignoring. The teachers pushed for an open and straight communication and valued discussions with the class highly, all to build understanding between the children.

There is a lot of research about concentration difficulties. The medical, social and pedagogic pieces are there, but there is less about how the environment is effected. Therefore I chose to also shed a light on the pupils around the pupils with concentration difficulties from teachers' perspectives.

Abstract:
Forecasting of air pollutant concentration, which is influenced by air pollution accumulation, traffic flow and industrial emissions, has attracted extensive attention for decades. In this paper, we propose a spatio-temporal attention convolutional long short term memory neural networks (Attention-CNN-LSTM) for air pollutant concentration forecasting. Firstly, we analyze the Granger causalities between different stations and establish a hyperparametric Gaussian vector weight function to determine spatial autocorrelation variables, which is used as part of the input feature. Secondly, convolutional neural networks (CNN) is employed to extract the temporal dependence and spatial correlation of the input, while feature maps and channels are weighted by attention mechanism, so as to improve the effectiveness of the features. Finally, a depth long short term memory (LSTM) based time series predictor is established for learning the long-term and short-term dependence of pollutant concentration. In order to reduce the effect of diverse complex factors on LSTM, inherent features are extracted from historical air pollutant concentration data meteorological data and timestamp information are incorporated into the proposed model. Extensive experiments were performed using the Attention-CNNLSTM, autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA), support vector regression (SVR), traditional LSTM and CNN, respectively. The results demonstrated that the feasibility and practicability of Attention-CNN-LSTM on estimating CO and NO concentration.

Abstract:
Ionic current through highly confined nanochannels receives significant attention over the past decade because of the novel phenomena from the overlapped electric double layers. In addition, nanoscale Coulter-type single molecule sensors detect the modulation of ionic current through individual nanopores to sense the translocation of single molecules or nanoparticles. The baseline ionic current and its noise determine the sensitivity of the Coulter-type single molecule sensors. All published research on ionic current through nanochannels focuses on the effects of overlapped electric double layers without paying much attention to the ionic transport through nanopores for high concentration electrolytes with non-overlapped double layer. Therefore, the ionic current data for high concentration electrolytes through nanochannels are limited and not systematic.

Abstract:
An experimental study was conducted on turbulent flow and mixing in a counter-flow type T-junction. We measured the velocity and concentration fields simultaneously by combining PIV and PLIF. Special attention was directed to the concentration fluctuation near the channel wall, which might bring about the high-cycle thermal fatigue in case of mixing of hot and cold flows. The velocity ratio of the counter-channel flow to the main-channel flow was changed from 1.0 to 5.0. The fluorescent dye was mixed in the main-channel flow. The dominant structures of the fluctuating velocity and concentration fields that cause the concentration fluctuation near the channel wall were analyzed by POD. It was found that the concentration fluctuation near the channel wall was caused by the superposition of the spanwise wobbling motion of the mixing interface of two flows and the rotational oscillation of the flows.

Full text
Abstract:
The conversion of coal, biomass and RDF (refuse-derived fuel) etc, by means of gasification into a fuel suitable for a high temperature fuel cell has recently received more attention as a potential substitute for fossil fuels in electric power production. However, combining the gasification with a high temperature fuel cell (Molten Carbonate Fuel Cell) raises many questions with regard to gas quality and impurities. We have paid attention to H2S impurity contained in fuel gas and investigated the effect of H2S on MCFC performance by operating a 10kW-class stack. The experimental results show the H2S tolerable concentration to MCFC performance decreases with the decrease of H2 concentration in fuel gas. A reason for this H2S tolerance is due to the inhibition for shift reaction (H2O + CO → H2 + CO2) by H2S adsorption to anode. This inhibition by H2S adsorption decreases the capability of high temperature fuel cell to utilize CO as a fuel.

Abstract:
Forward Osmosis (FO) is recently paied attention to preprocessing of the Reverse Osmosis (RO). It can reduce the input power of RO plant. It is required to reduce the salt concentration at outlet and increase the permeation flow rate. In this paper, the characteristics of the fresh water flow and permeation are studied for the hollow fiber membrane module used in FO system. It is cleared that the disappearance of fresh water and the concentration polarization in hollow fiber largely influence to the reduction of permeation flow rate in the case of the low fresh water flow rate. Concentration of fresh water and the leakage of salt influence to the reduction of permeation flow rate in the case of high fresh water flow rate.
