Abstract:
Traditionally a large role has been attributed to the spread of clocks and watches in fostering a ‘modern’ awareness of time. Yet, little research is available that empirically enables signs of growing time awareness to be linked to the distribution of time-keeping devices. In this article both these phenomena are brought together using two independent sets of evidence that permit the hypothesis that clocks and watches contributed to a heightened consciousness of time to be tested. While the ownership of clocks and watches was socially skewed, highly gendered and unevenly distributed over time, time awareness – as exemplified throughout numerous court cases – was essentially none of these.

Abstract:
In 1572 Robert Dudley gave to his queen a tiny clock set in a bracelet, an object scholars believe to be the first wristwatch. While Dudley’s gift to Elizabeth i was striking in its innovation, it was not the only timepiece he or those in his circle gave her. Using the New Year’s Day “Gift Rolls,” only recently collected from disparate archives and transcribed from manuscript by Jane Lawson, I establish that Dudley and those associated with him turned to this particular form of gift more often than other Elizabethan courtiers. Using theories of gifting I go on to argue that courtly gift exchanges involving elaborate private clocks and watches allowed Dudley and his circle to suggest their unique usefulness to Elizabeth i by offering her ways to imagine their service and her sovereignty.

Abstract:
My research topic concerns how learners use the analogue clock (as a human tool) to make meaning of clock time. This study is informed by a Vygotskian socio-cultural framework to learning and development based on the concept that human activities take place in cultural contexts and is mediated by tools. In this qualitative study I report on the learners meaning making of analogue clock time using the physical clock. This study was carried out at a South African primary school through an intervention programme after school. The research employed a case study method. It involved a purposeful sample of 4 learners (n=38) from the grade four class group based on their response to a baseline assessment task. The selected sample of learners included learners across the ability spectrum to gain rich insight into how learners make meaning of analogue clock time. Data collection and analysis was done through an interpretive approach. The video-taped interviews and intervention programme was my main instrument of data collection. Other research instruments included document analysis of responses to baseline assessment tasks. These research tools yielded the data collected and also allowed for triangulation. My research topic explored how the learners make meaning of analogue clock time. In particular the two-way movement of how the learners use the physical tool namely the analogue clock to develop meaning and how the clock mediates clock knowledge in return. The findings of the study suggest that learners’ find it difficult to conceptualise analogue clock symbols and signs, in particular, in Afrikaans the half hour concept, in relation to the two hands. The physical analogue clock is also important to support and extend clock knowledge in solving time-related problems. This shows the power of the analogue clock to mediate meaning making of clock time in young learners. Because of its potential to improve teaching and learning analogue clock time in primary school it is therefore recommended that the analogue clock time be further researched in South Africa.

O relógio inteligente é um novo tipo de eletrônico para o punho com funcionalidades idênticas as de um celular, que também é utilizado por motoristas durante a tarefa de condução do veículo, representando uma nova forma de distração do motorista, e risco aumentado de acidentes no trânsito; uma demanda da ergonomia cognitiva. O objetivo do presente estudo foi determinar o efeito do uso de relógio inteligente sobre motoristas experientes e novatos durante a condução simulada de automóvel, na tarefa de seguir o automóvel à frente, através da análise de movimento dos olhos, da cabeça e do desempenho na condução. Vinte motoristas experientes (EXP) e vinte motoristas novatos (NOV) realizaram a tarefa de seguir um carro à frente por um percurso de 2 km em quatro condições: somente seguir o carro (CAR), seguir o carro e receber uma notificação de texto no relógio inteligente (NOT), seguir o carro que freará de modo inesperado e brusco (FRE) e seguir o carro que freará de modo inesperado e brusco e, adicionalmente, receber uma notificação de texto (FNOT). Os dados do olhar, da cabeça e do desempenho na condução do automóvel foram submetidos à análise de variância de grupo (EXP, NOV) por condição de freada (CAR, FRE) por condição de notificação (NOT, FNOT) por tentativa (1, 2, 3). O desempenho da condução de veículo foi afetado pela freada do carro à frente e pelo uso do relógio inteligente ao receber notificação. Ao receber uma notificação no relógio, mudava-se o foco atencional do trânsito para realizar a leitura de texto, aumentando as chances de ocorrência de acidente. Experientes e novatos apresentaram diferentes estratégias para viabilizar a leitura do texto no relógio; experientes mostraram-se mais eficientes, mas ambos grupos desviaram o olhar da pista em detrimento da atenção, o que resultou em condição de risco.
Smartwatch is a new kind of electronic to be worn on the wrist with features similar to those of mobile phones, they are also being used by drivers during their driving task, representing a new form of distraction for drivers and increasing chances of traffic accidents. The goal of this project is to determine the use effect of smartwatches on experienced and novice drivers while driving on a simulated driving task following a vehicle ahead, through the analysis of eye and head movement and driving performance in a driving simulator. Twenty experienced drivers (EXP) and twenty novice drivers (NOV) will follow a car ahead for 2 kilometers in four conditions: follow a car ahead (CAR), follow a car ahead and receive a text message notification on the smartwatch (NOT), follow a car ahead that brakes abruptly (FRE) and follow a car ahead and receive a text message notification on the smartwatch while the car ahead brakes abruptly (FNOT). The gaze, head movement and driving performance data will be subjected to group variance analysis (EXP, NOV), with or without braking (CAR, FRE), with or without smartwatch notification (NOT, FNOT) and by trial (1, 2, 3). The diver’s performance showed to be affected by the car’s ahead braking and by the use of smartwatch during reading tasks. Attentional focus was shifted away from the road to the smartwatch when drivers tried to perform the reading task, thus increasing the chances of an accident. Experienced and novice drivers used different strategies to perform the reading task while driving; experienced drivers were more efficient but both groups shifted their gaze away from the road in detriment of their attention to the traffic, which resulted in risk conditions.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis provides a reinterpretation of early modern clock and watch dials on the basis of use, in response to an immense gap left in horological historiography where dial designs have been dismissed as insignificant beyond aesthetic concerns. By 1770 a standard design had emerged, which represented hours, minutes and seconds. Yet, between 1550 and 1770 dials represented combinations of calendrical, lunar and astronomical information using multiple concentric rings, subsidiary dials and apertures. Change was gradual, but significant. I have developed a unique methodology for unlocking the meaning embedded within these early combinations and the significance of dial change, by closely comparing a selection of clock and watch dials from different museum collections with printed paper sources such as almanacs, astronomical, astrological and mnemonic diagrams, craft books, and art works. Multiple concentric rings and subsidiary dials bore similarity to circular and tree diagrams and were conducive to perceptions of stepped knowledge acquisition. Both media became plainer in appearance from the mid-late seventeenth century as these perceptions declined. Some makers utilised different formats to generate trust in their work, from alternative hour schemes during the late-sixteenth century to imitation of precision timepieces from the early-eighteenth century. Others utilised touch-pins, during the mid-late sixteenth century, and illumination of numerals, from the late-seventeenth to the early-eighteenth century, to enable users who were otherwise excluded. The calendar, lunar and astronomical functions were useful as a prompt for recalling astrological advice up until its decline during the mid-late seventeenth century. After which, the three functions enjoyed different lifespans, while they continued to be useful for other purposes, but none survived to be part of the standard format. It is only through the lens of use and comparison with the wider context that the significance of early modern clock and watch dials can be fully appreciated.

Abstract:
Abstract This chapter underlines the importance of repairing and maintenance of clocks and watches in the history of horology, a subject very little studied until now. It discusses the role of the activity in the economic life of horologists, as well as several of the methods used across the centuries, and the difficulties involved. It discusses the question of lubrification in detail. It covers the deontology of clock and watch restoration in the twentieth century. In conclusion, it then outlines the manner in which this practice has developed in the context of wider considerations of the conservation of art and archaeological objects.

Abstract:
In the article I focused on the development of clocks over the centuries. The biggest boom of clocks was in the nineteenth century, what was the result of the technological revolution. The use of machines for the production of watches caused that it was possible to produce large quantity of clocks in low prices. Because of the popularity there was created a new fashion to have a clock. At the same time we can see how the clocks was developed and what was pointed out.

Abstract:
Abstract Clocks and watches from the late Middle Ages have supplied the subject matter of both literary works and paintings. This chapter surveys the changing representation of horological items through both words and visual means from the fourteenth to the twentieth centuries. It uses examples from artists and writers, and uses the context of time and its portrayal to show the importance of clocks and watches in the collective consciousness of art. It examines both their symbolic and allegorical use through books, paintings, art installations, and films. Finally, it brings together the connection between the ticking clock, the passing of time, and human mortality.

Abstract:
Abstract This chapter describes in chronological order the use of music in clocks and watches, from the simplest chiming of bells, to elaborate melodies, combined with lifelike automaton figures and covers the period from the Late Middle Ages to the twentieth century. The chapter covers the mechanisms of both clocks and watches. It also discusses the important export trade to the Far East, as well as the development of singing bird mechanisms, and provides examples of the latter, including those of Jaquet Droz and Leschot, the most prestigious makers of mechanical singing birds in the second half of the eighteenth century.

Abstract:
Mechanical watches and clocks are intricate mechanical devices that fascinate millions of people around the world. In general, a mechanical watch is made of some 100 components. Among these components, the escapement plays a vital role in controlling the timekeeping accuracy. An escapement usually consists of an escape wheel, which receives energy provided by the mainspring through the gear train, and a pallet fork, which controls the oscillation. Owing to its complex nature, few have built a mathematical model for the escapement. In this paper, we present a physical-based simulation model for the Graham Escapement (the oldest and the most common escapement for clocks), and a model for the Swiss Lever Escapement (the most popular escapement for mechanical watches). The models are developed based on a commercial software system RecurDyn® [1]. The simulation helps to understand the kinetics as well as the dynamics of the escapements.

Abstract:
Effective methods of computational synthesis for mechanical systems must represent both function and structure in order to generate physical designs with desired behaviors. To this aim, a parallel grammar for mechanical synthesis was developed based on a Function-Behavior-Structure design model. This parallel grammar was implemented for the domain of mechanical clocks and watches in order to demonstrate the flexibility and strengths of the approach. Designs were produced using a fully parametric parts library. Incorporating performance considerations, generate-and-test methods were then used to produce clock designs that satisfy different sets of spatial constraints to demonstrate the potential of the method for general mechanical synthesis problems.

Abstract:
Sports broadcasting companies have been actively advancing various information visualization technologies in recent years. The current technologies and related literature predominantly focus on the professional aspects of sports instead of the general audience. According to statistical data, as much as 49% of the population in the United States are not fans of the National Basketball Association (NBA). Therefore, this study aims to broaden the NBA audience base by exploring the preferences and understanding of individuals with low experience regarding the basketball broadcast interface and the five visualized information elements. The goal is to enhance the viewing experience and economic benefits of NBA broadcasts. This study utilizes three NBA broadcasting platforms, Bally Sports, ESPN, and TNT as experimental samples. Each sample comprises 10 participants. Through an online survey, we selected 30 participants with low basketball experience for the experiment. The assessment steps included: (1) Participants watched broadcast videos and employed the think-aloud protocols. (2) Applied comprehension quizzes to assess participants' understanding. (3) Participants will fill out scales including the Evaluation of Media Entertainment Experience, NASA-TLX, Hedonic and Utilitarian Attitudes, and Re-viewing Intention, reflecting their evaluations and experiences regarding the broadcast visuals. (4) Conduct semi-structured interviews to gather insights and suggestions regarding participants' thoughts on broadcast interfaces and the five visualized informational elements. Results revealed that: In comparing the three sports broadcasting platforms, TNT performed the best on the Evaluation of Media Entertainment Experience scale, Hedonic and Utilitarian Attitudes scale, and Re-viewing Intention scale. ESPN was rated next, followed by Bally Sports. According to the NASA-TLX scale results, Bally Sports scored the highest in workload, followed by ESPN, and TNT scored the lowest. Most participants indicated that TNT's interface is simple and easy to understand, and ESPN's interface presents information clearly. In contrast, Bally Sports' interface has an excess of visual elements, which leads to a suboptimal viewing experience and a higher viewing workload. In the five visualized information elements, participants' preferences for viewing information were ranked as follows: (1) on-court shot clock, (2) lower third-player stats, (3) player position tracking, (4) shot probability, and (5) three-point shot distance. Most participants believed that the on-court shot clock provides excitement and a sense of engagement, while the lower third-player stats allow for a better understanding of each player. The player position tracking was regarded as an essential tool for the participants' understanding of team tactics, player positioning, and basketball movements. Most participants considered shot probability less important and most expressed a reluctance to see information about three-point shot distance, deeming it challenging to understand and lacking significance. This study provides insights into the perspectives and evaluations of NBA broadcast interfaces from individuals with low basketball experience and their preferences and comprehension levels regarding visualized information. The findings can guide future designs of basketball broadcast interfaces.

Abstract:
Towers, corsairs and smugglers in Calabria Ultra during the French Decade (1806-1815)At the beginning of the nineteenth century, even if the phenomenon of running war had subsided, the watch towers still had an active role in controlling the coasts of Southern Italy. Under the French administration some of them were assigned to customs posts, others continued to report the corsair boats always ready to carry out incursive actions. Merchant ships, fishermen and peasants were still struck by the devastating Turkish-Barbarian cruises, but also by corsairs armed by the British in an eternal struggle against the French. The towers are regularly guarded by sentinels armed with non-military weapons, which are not functional to the increasingly sophisticated assaults of the Corsair marines. The people in charge of the customs had to manage a staff often absent from the guardhouse due to malarial fevers, especially during the summer when the coasts were excessively hot. The customs documentation shows the economy of a Southern Italy still rooted in the classic export products: oil, dried figs, cotton, cheese, wine and coarse wool cloths. Raw silk is absent from the market, one of the most exported products until the second half of the eighteenth century and supplanted by the olive tree.
