Abstract:
This study examines how different types of co-viewing are associated with viewers’ emotional response to the live broadcast of media events and their social identity. A survey ( N = 206) was conducted to examine the effect of the live broadcast of a grand national ceremony in China. Results show that viewers experienced emotional arousal when they watched the media event in physical, mediated, and perceived co-viewing conditions. Among these conditions, mediated co-viewing, operationalized as social media engagement during the event, is the strongest predictor of emotional arousal. Moreover, emotional arousal fully mediates the relationship between co-viewing conditions and viewers’ national identity conveyed in the broadcast ceremony. With empirical evidence, we demonstrate the continued relevance of the genre of media events and the importance of co-viewing experiences in the contemporary media ecology. We argue that this broadcast genre is still effective with regard to social integration, and dual-screening media events could be a new mechanism of this effect.

Abstract:
This article discusses the ethical concerns and challenges that should be considered while studying the practice of co-viewing on social media and instant messaging applications. Co-viewing practices refer to the intertwined activities that happen while viewers sit together in front of a TV set, watching and making meaning from television content. Connected platforms amplify the possibilities for co-viewing, by allowing people to experience a digital co-presence. Users that engaged in connected co-viewing in unofficial Facebook and WhatsApp groups dedicated to the brazilian telenovela Babilônia (airing in 2015) are used to exemplify the need to establish informed consent and avoid harming the participants when carrying out research online. The research reveals that ethical decision-making with respect to users’ data and viewpoints had to be considered, not only at the beginning stages of research, but assessed and considered throughout each step of the study.

Abstract:
The typical experience of narrative film is characterized by a remarkable intensity as to absorption and emotion. Current explanations attribute the experience to the realistic perceptual impact of the film. This theoretical article sets out to explain the experience as the result first of the film-viewer's acts of imagination of fictional worlds. More specifically, it seems suitable to conceptualize the film experience as arising from pretense play. Pretense play can afford room for free imagination leading to intense emotion, as well as restrictions to the imagination “quarantining” ( Leslie, 1987 ) pretended fictional worlds from the real world, thus safeguarding the enjoyability and adaptiveness of the experience. Applying the concept of joint pretense for the first time to film, we follow Walton (1990) in his account of fiction as an institutionalized form of pretense play enabling intense emotional experiences in the cinema, including unpleasant ones to be appreciated by film-viewers. Thus, the model of co-imagination has as components (a) the generation of fictional film worlds—the acts of pretense in the narrower sense; (b) the participation in; and (c) the appreciation of these. We argue that the account of the experience can be improved if it is conceived as the outcome of joint pretense, in which film-viewers in their imagination activity team up with filmmakers—experts by eminence in prompting the viewers’ imagination. Finally, in our model of co-imagination in popular film joint pretense acts are layered ( Clark, 1996 ) as to the contents of the fictional worlds, with the lowest layer representing the collaboration for imagination between filmmaker and film-viewer in the actual world and the higher ones representing fictional worlds of increasing depth of imagination. Because of asymmetric access relations among layers, returns to the actual world in advanced pretense are difficult, which helps quarantining and the sense of absorption.

Abstract:
Co-viewing refers to the practice of sitting together in front of a TV set, watching and making meaning from television content. New media amplifies the possibilities for co-viewing, by allowing people to do it virtually. This study explores the reflexive perception of media realism that emerged when Facebook users engaged in connected co-viewing in two unofficial Facebook groups dedicated to the Brazilian prime-time telenovela Babilônia. The series’ controversial plot led to political discussions and prompted debate where viewers frequently used their perceptions of realism to counter the notion of media effects.

Abstract:
In many European children, high levels of screen time can be found, which is associated with several adverse health outcomes. Therefore, there is a need for identifying effective intervention strategies that reduce screen time in children. A factor that may contribute to excessive screen time in children may be “co-TV viewing” (i.e., the time that parents and children spend on watching TV together), as parents often recognize the importance of limiting children’s (individual) screen time, but often encourage TV viewing as a family because of its perceived benefits (e.g., educational purposes). The primary aim of this study was to investigate the (sex-specific) association between co-TV viewing and both children’s and parents’ screen time, and these associations were investigated across and within six European countries. In total, 10,969 parents (Meanage = 40.7 ± 5.3 years, MeanBMI = 24.4 ± 4.6) of primary school children (Meanage = 8.2 ± 1.0 years, 49.0% boys, MeanBMI = 17.3 ± 2.8) completed a questionnaire assessing co-TV viewing and screen time. Multilevel regression analyses were conducted. Across countries, positive associations were found between co-TV viewing and both children’s (β = 11.85, SE = 3.69, p < 0.001) and parents’ screen time (β = 14.47, SE = 4.43, p = 0.001). Similar associations were found in most (but not all) countries. The results suggest that targeting co-TV viewing might be a promising intervention strategy because of its potential to limit screen time of both children and parents.

Abstract:
L'objectiu d'aquesta investigació és identificar i examinar les principals pràctiques relacionades amb el covisionament connectat i les activitats de contingut generat pels usuaris mentre es visualitza un gènere de televisió específic, la telenovel·la brasilera en l'horari de màxima audiència. Tot i que les telenovel·les poden ser considerades un gènere melodramàtic, les telenovel·les brasileres tenen una orientació sociorealista que és interessant per a examinar el covisionament, perquè són conegudes per provocar un debat polític sobre temes que van des del racisme o l'homofòbia fins a la corrupció política. Al llarg de més de sis mesos es va fer una observació participant per comprendre les pràctiques de covisionament connectat per mitjà de tres estudis de cas: dos grups de Facebook tancats i un grup de WhatsApp. Els mètodes emprats en aquesta investigació van ser entrevistes semiestructurades i una enquesta qualitativa. Pel fet que justament acabava de començar una nova telenovel·la, aquest període va ser triat per a comprendre el fenomen de covisionament en curs. Per a aquesta investigació es va utilitzar un conjunt de treballs sobre pràctiques socials i l'enfocament de l'ecologia. Aquest estudi demostra que el contingut generat pels usuaris és una pràctica que sempre demana la implicació de les persones, fins i tot quan és només per a fer pràctiques disperses, com cercar i llegir informació. També es va revelar que per als usuaris que fan covisionament connectat a Facebook, l'acte de donar una opinió o compartir qualsevol contingut de telenovel·la significa produir contingut, i això de vegades afecta el contingut que ells reben en aquesta plataforma, ja que reben massa informació de la telenovel·la o dels usuaris que interactuen més. A més, per mitjà de diferents tipus d'implicació amb el contingut generat pels usuaris i per les pràctiques de covisionament, els espectadors van considerar si la telenovel·la en horari de màxima audiència hauria de ser mer entreteniment o barrejar-se amb finalitats educatives. Els usuaris van contrastar les pròpies realitats viscudes amb les maneres en què la telenovel·la que van covisionar retratava els esdeveniments sociopolítics que tenien lloc al Brasil durant la retransmissió. Per tant, això demostra que les característiques del gènere televisiu, juntament amb les característiques i agències de l'espai en què es desenvolupen les pràctiques de covisionament, són elements que donen forma a aquesta experiència.
El objetivo de esta investigación es identificar y examinar las principales prácticas relacionadas con el covisionado conectado y las actividades de contenido generado por los usuarios mientras se visualiza un género de televisión específico, la telenovela brasileña en el horario de máxima audiencia. Aunque las telenovelas pueden ser consideradas un género melodramático, las telenovelas brasileñas tienen una orientación sociorealista que es interesante para examinar el covisionado, porque son conocidas por provocar un debate político sobre temas que van desde el racismo o la homofobia hasta la corrupción política. Durante seis meses se desarrolló una observación participante para comprender las prácticas de covisionado conectado por medio de tres estudios de caso: dos grupos no oficiales de Facebook cerrados y un grupo de WhatsApp. Los métodos usados en esta investigación fueron entrevistas semiestructuradas y una encuesta cualitativa. Como iba a estrenarse una nueva telenovela, este periodo fue seleccionado para comprender el fenómeno de covisionado en curso. Para esta investigación se utilizó un conjunto de trabajos sobre prácticas sociales y el enfoque de la ecología comunicativa. Este estudio demuestra que el contenido generado por los usuarios es una práctica que requiere siempre la participación de las personas, incluso cuando es solo para desarrollar actividades dispersas como buscar y leer información. También se reveló que para los usuarios que hacen covisionado conectado en Facebook, el acto de dar una opinión o compartir contenidos que se refieren a la telenovela implica la generación de datos, y esto, a veces, repercute en el contenido que ellos reciben en esta plataforma. Además, por medio de diferentes tipos de implicación con el contenido generado por los usuarios y por las prácticas de covisionado, los espectadores consideraron si la telenovela en horario de máxima audiencia debería ser puro entretenimiento o mezclarse con fines educativos. Ellos contrastaron sus propias realidades con las formas en las que la telenovela que covisionaron retrataba los eventos sociopolíticos que ocurrían en Brasil durante la transmisión. Por lo tanto, se demostró que las características del género de televisión, junto con las características del espacio donde se desarrollan las prácticas de covisionado, son elementos que modelan dicha experiencia.
The aim of this research was to identify and examine the main practices of connected co-viewing and user-generated content (UGC) activities while viewing programmes in the Brazilian prime-time telenovela genre. Although telenovelas can be considered a melodramatic genre, Brazilian telenovelas have a socio-realistic focus and are known for promoting political debate on subjects ranging from racism and homophobia to corruption, which makes them interesting for scrutinizing co-viewing. A participant observation was conducted over a six-month period to understand connected co-viewing practices through three case studies: two non-official, private Facebook groups, and one WhatsApp group. Semi-structured interviews and a qualitative survey were the methods employed for this research. As a new telenovela was to air, this period was selected in order to understand an ongoing phenomenon from its very beginning. For this research, a body of work on social practices and communicative ecology was cited. This study demonstrates that UGC is a practice that always requires the involvement of people. It was also revealed that for users who do connected co-viewing on Facebook, the act of giving an opinion or sharing any telenovela content means producing content, and this sometimes affects the content users receive on this platform, as they may receive excessive telenovela information or information from the users they interact with the most. Furthermore, through different kinds of engagement with UGC and by co-viewing practices, viewers considered whether a prime-time telenovela should be pure entertainment or should be mixed with educational purposes. They contrasted and reflected on their own personal experiences with the ways the telenovela they co-viewed portrayed the current socio-political events occurring in Brazil during its airing. Thus, it is shown that the features of the television genre, together with the features and agencies of the space where it occurs, might shape the way co-viewing engagement happens.

Video content is being consumed in a host of new ways - viewers are no longer restricted to same-time or same-place viewing. However, the experience of watching content with a group is inherently a sociable one, and often desirable despite the physical distribution of group members. This thesis introduces Back Talk, a system designed to create a sociable television watching experience. We enhance television viewing with an auditory environment around a viewer - constructed from engagement and audio streams of co-viewers in the viewer's micro-social network. We have explored and leveraged the richness of audio to convey presence of remote viewers via a novel framework for capturing and translating engagement of an individual in the viewer's micro-social network into a set of audio cues that are played spatially around the viewer. This work presents the implementation scheme we used, and it also discusses results of a user study that was conducted to examine the impact and effectiveness of the Back Talk system.

Abstract:
The digital media play an increasingly pervasive and influential role in children’s lives (Rideout & VJR Consulting, 2011). However, whilst there has been extensive investigation into the media use of this age--‐group in the USA and western Europe, there has been little research on the media use of children under the age of 6 in Taiwan. Therefore, Phase 1 of the study began by conducting an online survey (n=535) in order to situate the work undertaken in Phase 2. The results showed that TV dominates the media use of young Taiwanese children. Opinions differ regarding the effects of TV viewing on young children. Some child development specialists warn of the dangers of too much viewing, especially for infants (Christakis, 2008). However, more programmes are designed specifically for young children and many aim to support their learning. Evidence has shown that TV can have a positive impact on learning (Wright, Huston, Scantlin, & Kotler, 2001). The key issue is the extent to which children engage with the programme. The literature into children’s learning from media content indicates that the child’s engagement with the programme is strongly related to their understanding of the programme content (Calvert, Strong, Jacobs, & Conger, 2007). However, little is known about how parents can support their child’s engagement by co--‐viewing children’s TV programmes with them. Therefore, Phase 2 of the study aimed to explore in--‐depth this particular link between parental scaffolding and child engagement. Adopting a social constructive paradigm and using case study methodology, the researcher gathered video recordings of thirteen parent/child dyads of 3--‐ to 5--‐year--‐olds co--‐viewing the same episodes of two animated educational television programmes in natural conditions. In the analyses, measures of children’s engagement and thematic coding of the scaffolding behaviour of the parent were used to deductively and inductively analyse video recordings of the home observations. The findings indicated that there is a positive association between the child’s engagement and the level of parental scaffolding. It is suggested that dissemination of the findings from this study could help parents to understand and appreciate the value of parent--‐child co--‐viewing of educational children’s television programmes and promote children’s learning from the programmes.

Home-based explanatory discourse supports linguistic and conceptual development, and is an important precursor to school-based learning. This study aimed to increase understanding of this topic by describing the distribution of explanations across five contexts in the home environments of preschool-aged children. The conversations of five highly educated, middle class mothers and their 2 1/2- to 3-year-old children were recorded as they read narrative and expository texts, viewed educational television, played with blocks, and ate meals together. The transcripts of these conversations were analyzed to determine: (1) the characteristics of mothers' explanations; (2) the characteristics of their children's explanations; (3) the ways the mothers provided scaffolds for their children's attempts to explain; and (4) the extent to which science concepts were discussed. Coding of parent-child discussions was based on Beals' (1993) nine categories of explanation, revised in response to data gathered in this study. Three intentional categories in Beals' coding scheme were collapsed, and two categories, identification and event , were added. The addition of these two categories of explanation afforded a richer picture of how mothers support the linguistic and cognitive development of their children across contexts. Explanation types identified in mothers' discourse in order of frequency were: identification, definitional/descriptive, causal, event, procedure, internal, intention , and consequence . Across the five contexts, the children heard an average of 3.2 explanations for every 10 turns spoken by their mothers. While certain contexts displayed a greater density of particular explanation types, each context offered opportunities for a range of types of explanation. Evidence that mothers have different explanatory "styles" was also found. Children's explanations were most often identification and event explanations. Mothers supported the children's attempts at explanation by extending their children's utterances, providing hints and information, and redirecting questions. Discussion of scientific concepts was also found across all contexts, but most frequently during the reading of expository text. The results indicate that a range of home activities support preschool-aged children's exposure to explanatory discourse and that those working with families to support early literacy should look beyond traditional book reading tasks as sources of talk that builds children's linguistic and conceptual knowledge.

Abstract:
De senaste åren har små barns användning av digitala medier ökat och det finns idag en uppsjö av medieinnehåll riktat till denna målgrupp. Forskning visar dock att små barn har svårt att generalisera lärande från skärmar till verkligheten. Samtittande (co-viewing) med vuxna och verbala ledtrådar har föreslagits kunna underlätta lärandet men forskningen är ännu begränsad. Föreliggande studie syftade därför till att undersöka huruvida instruerad co-viewing har någon inverkan på deklarativt minne, mätt med fördröjd imitation, hos barn vid två års ålder. För att undersöka detta användes experimentell mellangruppsdesign, där deltagarna (N = 35) tillsammans med sina föräldrar fick se en film på surfplatta där uppgifter ur ett deklarativt minnestest (FIT-24) presenterades. Deltagarna randomiserades till experimentgrupp, där föräldrarna instruerades att beskriva händelseförloppet i filmen för barnen, och kontrollgrupp, där föräldrarna instruerades att titta på filmen tillsammans med barnen såsom de skulle gjort hemma. Efter en fördröjning testades vad barnen lärt sig av minnesuppgifterna. Utöver minnestestet genomfördes screening av utvecklingsnivå (Bayley-S).Resultatet visade ingen signifikant skillnad i deklarativt minne mellan betingelserna. Däremot återfanns positiva signifikanta samband mellan deklarativt minne och generell utveckling samt språklig förmåga. Därtill klarade deltagare i båda grupperna att generalisera kunskap från surfplatta till verklighet, vilket visar att tvååriga barn kan lära sig från digitala medier.

Abstract:
Children's animated films have held a lasting influence on their audiences since the rise of their popularity in the 1980s. As adults co-view such films with their children Hollywood has had to rewrite the formula for a successful animated children's film. This thesis argues that a main factor in audience expansion is adult humor. The results show that children's animated films from 2002-2013 are riddled with many instances of adult humor while earlier films from 1982-1993 use adult humor sparingly. It is clear that over the years the number of adult humor occurrences has consistently increased. Furthermore, this research shows that adult male roles consistently deliver the adult humor.

Abstract:
As the world evolves into a media saturated environment, the focus of many studies have been the negative effects of media on children and adolescents. For at least the past two decades, researchers have explored how parental involvement in their child's media consumption can influence child outcomes. Parental mediation of media includes restrictive mediation, active mediation, and co-viewing. Three meta-analyses, one for each type of mediation, reviewed a total of 69 studies. Each analysis assessed the effectiveness of parental mediation of media on five pertinent child outcomes: media use, aggression, substance use, sexual behavior, and negative health outcomes. The overall results indicated small, but significant relationships between child outcomes and restrictive mediation (r+ = .07), active mediation (r+ = .01), and co-viewing (r+ = .09). Effects on certain child outcomes were stronger than others. Parents have the ability to mitigate some of the adverse effects through parental mediation of media by creating rules for media use: discussing character's choices and central themes and consuming media together. Finally, several gaps in the existing literature were identified and discussed.

Abstract:
Obwohl Blickbewegungen einen elementaren Bestandteil des natürlichen Sehens darstellen, werden hirnelektrische Korrelate der visuellen Verarbeitung im Elektroenzephalogramm (EEG) zumeist während passiver Stimulation des ruhenden Auges erfasst. Ein alternativer methodischer Zugang ist die Kopplung des EEG an Beginn oder Ende natürlich auftretender Augenbewegungen mit Hilfe simultanen, hochauflösenden Eye-Trackings (ET). Die resultierenden sakkaden- bzw. fixationskorrelierten Potentiale (SRPs/FRPs) wurden in zwei Forschungskontexten untersucht und angewendet. Der erste Teil der Arbeit (Publikation 1 & 2) befasst sich mit den elektrophysiologischen Korrelaten von Mikrosakkaden, unwillkürlichen Fixationsaugenbewegungen die auch während traditioneller EEG-Messungen auftreten. Es wird gezeigt, dass Mikrosakkaden trotz ihrer geringen Amplitude eine wesentliche, aber mit herkömmlichen Methoden kaum auszuschließende Quelle muskulärer und kortikaler Aktivität im EEG darstellen (mikrosakkadische SRPs), welche in der Mehrzahl experimenteller Durchgängen aktiv ist, und zur Fehlinterpretation reizgekoppelter Potentiale führen kann. Der zweite Teil der Arbeit demonstriert die Machbarkeit und Nützlichkeit von FRP-Analysen zur Untersuchung hirnelektrischer Prozesse beim Lesen. In Publikation 3 werden Einflüsse verschiedener Messartefakte sowie visuell-evozierter, motorischer und kognitiv modulierter Potentiale auf die FRP-Wellenform beschrieben und Methoden zur Signaloptimierung vorgeschlagen. Wir zeigen, dass sich im natürlichen Satzlesen der klassische N400 Wortvorhersagbarkeitseffekt reproduzieren und in Bezug zu Maßen der Fixationsdauer setzen lässt. In Publikation 4 wurde mittels FRPs das Ausmaß der parafovealen Wortverarbeitung bestimmt. Simultanes ET ist eine sinnvolle Ergänzung zur bestehenden EEG-Methodik, sowohl zur Kontrolle von Mikroaugenbewegungen, als auch zur Erforschung natürlichen Blickbewegungsverhaltens und Integration von Befunden der ET- und EEG-Forschung.
Although natural vision involves an active sampling of the environment with several saccadic eye movements per second, electroencephalographic (EEG) correlates of visual cognition are predominantly recorded under artificial conditions of prolonged fixation. An alternative approach to EEG analysis, explored in the present thesis, is to time-lock the signal not to passive stimulations, but to the on- or offsets of naturally occurring eye movements, yielding saccade- and fixation-related potentials (SRPs/FRPs). Using simultaneous high-resolution eye-tracking (ET), this technique was applied in two contexts. The first part of the thesis (publications 1 & 2) investigated brain-electric correlates of microsaccades, small involuntary eye movements, which occur despite attempted fixation during traditional EEG paradigms. In a series of experiments, we show that SRPs from microsaccades present a significant, but normally hidden source of visuocortical potentials that is active in most trials and can confound the interpretation of stimulus-locked data under specific conditions. The second part of the thesis assessed the feasibility and utility of using FRPs in the study of natural reading. Publication 3 provides a review of artifact sources, low-level factors, and high-level influences determining the FRP waveform in free viewing and proposes methods to optimize signal quality. We then replicate the N400 word predictability effect, a cornerstone of neurolinguistic research, in left-to-right sentence reading and relate N400 amplitude to measures of fixation time. In publication 4, the FRP technique was combined with gaze-contingent display manipulations to investigate the depth of parafoveal preprocessing in fluent reading. Our results show that simultaneous recordings improve the understanding of electrophysiological data recorded during fixation, extend the EEG’s methodological scope to naturalistic viewing scenarios, and help to integrate findings from EEG and ET research.

In many families watching TV together is the prevalent entertainment, and the prevalent opportunity for the family to spend time together. It is important now to explore the impact of TV on family life. At the same time, the mode of interaction among the family members clearly exerts profound influence on children’s behavior. In the sequence of parent-children interactions, not only the parents’ characters affect the children, children’s characters would also affect the way they are treated by the parents. Regarding viewing behavior and parent-children interaction, setting examples is the best way for parents to guide children’s viewing behavior. Parent-children interaction is also gradually fashioned by co-viewing.   This research explores the extent of the interaction of the characters of parents and children affecting children’s TV viewing behavior., and the extent of co-viewing affecting parent-children interaction. The results show that factors affecting children’s TV viewing behavior include sex of the children, order of birth, parents’ level of education and parents time spent at work, among others. Parents’ level of education and the mother’s time at work are the prominent factors that affect co-viewing behavior. The higher the level of education of the father who works during daytime or both at day and night, the shorter the children’s TV viewing time. Factors that affect the subject sensing of parent-children interaction include time spent on co-viewing, and population variables such as sex, order of birth, parents’ level of education and parents’ time spent at work. In particular, the higher the level of education of the parents, the greater the subjective sensing of intimate parent-children interaction. In all, with respect to children’s TV viewing behavior, parent-children co-viewing behavior, as well as the subject sensing of parent-children interaction, the level of education of the parents and their time at work are the prominent factors. Parents are therefore advised to raise their own level of education and adjust their hours at work, besides paying attention to limiting children’s hours spent on TV viewing as well as developing co-viewing as a means to foster good parent-children relation.

Full text
Abstract:
The importance of classical sources and a social approach to understanding questions of international security is developed in this chapter, alongside the concepts of trust and deterrence, all important in Freedman’s scholarly world, especially his Strategy: A History. The study begins with Sophocles and Plato, linking trust to friendship, and viewing both trust and society as co-constitutive phenomena. While deterrence and realist models of international relations assume that trust is in short supply, following the great figures of ancient Greece, in reality, trust will be more widespread the more robust the society is. The chapter explores the importance of honor and reputation. It concludes, after Plato, that trust comes the demonstrable willingness to do things for friends that have nothing to do with one’s own goals. Treating others as friends builds security through co-constitutive interaction. This applies to societies and states, as well as individuals.

Abstract:
This book focuses on the military and statebuilding components of the international project in Afghanistan since 2001. It posits and discusses the military-peace complex as a framework for understanding the international project in Afghanistan, pointing to the sliding together and collapse between military and peace actors, mandates, and ideational frameworks. Focusing on the role of gender as well as material and spatial entanglements, the author argues that military and peace work in the liberal mode cannot be logically separated but rather are co-constituted and operate in a dynamic relationship to each other with fluid and shifting boundaries. Based on original interviews and wider research, the book offers a holistic way of viewing the international project in Afghanistan, drawing attention to its under-noticed elements, and providing a new way of understanding its politics.

Abstract:
Ritual landscapes were integral to Inca imperial expansion, both as a medium for and as a product of the interaction between the Inca state and regional and local polities. The incorporation of peoples and lands into the Inca Empire entailed complex dealings with local and regional huacas, together with the co-optation and modification of local elite lineages, corporate origins, and histories. Late Horizon ritual landscapes were thus emergent phenomena, constructed over time through processes of negotiation and reconfiguration between the Inca and other peoples. I refer to these negotiated landscapes as “local-imperial,” and explore these interactive processes through archaeological and ethnohistorical data from Cuzco, Pachacamac, Huamachuco, and Huarochirí. Inasmuch as local-imperial ritual landscapes were composite entities described in this article, viewing these different forms of evidence together clarifies our image of the Inca expansion as the work of physical, social, and symbolic-semiotic mastery.

Abstract:
This chapter defends a solution to the problem of variable appearances that co-occur with perceptual constancy. In conditions which are non-ideal, yet within the range of perceptual constancy, we see things veridically despite a puzzling “appearance” which is suggestive of a non-veridical state of affairs. For example, a tilted coin is often taken to have an “elliptical appearance”. This chapter defends Gestalt-shift approach, according to which these appearances are in fact illusory, but not part of normal perceptual experience. The experience of ellipticality when viewing a tilted coin, it is argued, arises from something like a brief and unstable Gestalt shift to a different visual interpretation of the scene, of the kind that E. H. Gombrich argued artists invoke when painting a three-dimensional scene on a flat canvas. Recent empirical work on multistable perception is used to show how this might work.

Abstract:
AbstractRecent years have seen an explosion of interest in nonhuman animal agency in different fields. In biology and ethology, new studies about animal languages, cultures, cognition and emotion are published weekly. In the broad field of animal studies, the symbolic and ontological human-animal distinction is challenged and other animals are presented as actors. These studies challenge existing approaches to animal ethics. Animals are no longer creatures to simply think about: they have their own perspectives on life, and humans can in some instances communicate with them about that. Animal ethics long determined individual moral rights and duties on the basis of nonhuman animal capacities, but this often measures them to human standards and does not take into account that nonhuman animals are a heterogeneous group in terms of capabilities as well as social relations to humans. The questions of whether animals have agency, and how we should morally evaluate their agency, are especially urgent because we live in an age in which humans dominate the lives of large numbers of other animals. The Anthropocene has shaped the knowledge and technology for humans to realize that animals have more agency than has been assumed, but ironically it is also an epoch where animal agency is increasingly curtailed. This leads to new conflicts and problems of justice. How should animal ethics deal with the new knowledge and challenges generated in the Anthropocene? In this chapter we defend a relational approach to animal ethics, viewing other animals as subjects capable of co-shaping relations.

This concluding chapter discusses the contribution to knowledge provided by this book and considers the ways in which a feminist, critical approach to understanding coercion may lead to a more holistic criminological understanding of some co-offending women’s pathways into crime. It particularly focuses on the issues with dichotomising agency and coercion and viewing victims and offenders as a binary concept when considering the experiences of coerced women. The chapter provides a number of recommendations for criminology, particularly considering the ways in which a more nuanced appreciation of co-offending women’s experiences could be gained.

The goal of this workbook is to change the way clients respond to their emotions when they occur. They will be asked to approach their emotions in a more accepting manner instead of viewing them as something to avoid. Leaning in toward our emotions and responding more effectively to them may be difficult at first, but it will gradually make our emotions more manageable. This introductory chapter describes the types of problems this treatment program (Renfrew Unified Treatment for Eating Disorders and Co-occurring Emotional Disorders) was designed to address. The chapter also explains how eating disorders and other emotional disorders occur together.

Abstract:
This chapter provides an epistemological and ethical justification for (re)considering information science in terms of its potential to contribute to the way in which “information” and “knowledge” become co-constructed in social life in view of social justice aims. The chapter refers to and extends arguments for viewing information science as an interdisciplinary and indeed transdisciplinary endeavor. This is discussed in relation to transformative and indigenous-oriented paradigms for social research considered more generally and also considered specifically in relation to information science (as a social scientific approach). The chapter provides a detailed example of how the transformative potential of information science might be realized. This example can serve as a resource for information science researchers and for information systems practitioners who may find that it has some relevance to their continued work. The chapter also offers suggestions for expanding the research possibilities (co-inquiry options) provided by the example.

Abstract:
Healthcare employees generally have access to view hospital patient's medical records. This access can be simply viewing their chart or reviewing information on a computer screen. With this type of accessibly, hospital employees have the opportunity to view diagnosis, personal medical histories, as well as demographic information such as age and gender. Social engineers can use methods such as familiarity with co-workers for instance to obtain this information from unsuspecting health care workers. In addition, weak password selection can provide opportunities for a wealth of information to be stolen. In this chapter, current security legislation that addresses the security of patient's health care records, social engineering tactics, and passwords are explored.

Abstract:
The design of learning does not often emphasize on how much high-concentration “focused time” and other time learners spend on particular endeavors: reading, viewing, listening, writing, assessing, problem-solving, researching, communicating, collaborating, and others. And yet, how time is spent in purposeful learning—in assignments, fieldwork, research, collaboration, invention, co-design, and assessments—is thought to have a clear impact on the learning and the learning experience. This work explores some of the research in the area of time in learning and proposes some methods for including “focused time” design and time awareness in instructional design for online learning, particularly given the available tools for learner check-ins, time monitoring, and other tools.

Full text
Abstract:
Co-speech gestures can be divided into three classes — self-targeting, outward-targeting, and nontargeting gestures — that, in the order just given, decrease in salience, obligatoriness, and metacognitive accessibility. Gestural cues to a target are provided by outward-targeting gestures which, as this chapter’s focus, are simply referred to as “targeting gestures”. The central theoretical proposal here is that, on viewing a targeting gesture, a hearer conceptually generates an imaginal chain of fictive constructs — a “fictive chain” — that proceeds causally, without gaps, from the gesture to its target. This proposed process of “fictive chaining” is part of a more general cognitive system of spatial fictivity, realized across vision, language, and culture, and in part supported by corresponding instances from those other domains.

Abstract:
Chapter Two provides a thick reading of the set up and action of somaesthetic experience in the Chapel of the Magi, constructed by Michelozzo inside Palazzo Medici and lavishly decorated by Benozzo Gozzoli and Fra Filippo Lippi in the 1450s. Linking the mindful movements of viewers in the room to contemporary rituals of Epiphany, the analysis recasts the chapel as a virtual Florence that was practiced by the visitor in a time-based experience. By reconstructing the ways in which theater and ritual were enfolded into the artistic program and the process of viewing itself, the chapter recovers the somaesthetic co-involvement of the visitor in the processional drama of the room and demonstrates how somaesthetic experience is a critical key to understanding the style and content of the chapel within its dynamic political dimensions.

Abstract:
The high thermal conduction resistances of lithium-ion batteries severely limits the effectiveness of conventional external thermal management systems. To remove heat from the insulated interior portions of the cell, a large temperature difference is required across the cell, and the center of the electrode stack can exceed the thermal runaway onset temperature even under normal cycling conditions. One potential solution is to remove heat locally inside the cell by evaporating a volatile component of the electrolyte. In this system, a high vapor pressure co-solvent evaporates at a low temperature prior to triggering thermal runaway. The vapor generated is transported to the skin of the cell, where it is condensed and transported back to the internal portion of the cell via surface tension forces. For this system to function, a co-solvent that has a boiling point below the thermal runaway onset temperature must also allow the cell to function under normal operating conditions. Low boiling point hydrofluoroethers (HFE) were first used by Arai to reduce LIB electrolyte flash points, and have been proven to be compatible with LIB chemistry. In the present study, HFE-7000 and ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC) 1:1 by volume are used to solvate 1.0 M LiTFSI to produce a candidate electrolyte for the proposed cooling system. Copper antimonide (Cu2Sb) and lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) are used in a full cell architecture with the candidate electrolyte in a custom electrolyte boiling facility. The facility enables direct viewing of the vapor generation within the full cell and characterizes the galvanostatic electrochemical performance. Test results show that the LFP/Cu2Sb cell is capable of operation even when a portion of the more volatile HFE-7000 is continuously evaporated.

Full text
Abstract:
This study is based on practical experience of improving in-line process control in High Frequency Induction Welded steel pipe mill through the use of a unique advance tube tracking system. The system was designed and implemented in Saudi Steel Pipe Co in early 2009. The new tracking system goes beyond identifying the tube, coil, and heat number. It has the advantage of allowing the quality control inspectors to enter the hold tubes numbers in the system and restrict those hold tubes from processing in the next stages. This has led to significant improvement in segregation process and eliminating the hold pipes from reaching the final stage or the customer site. The tracking system is also linked to the Continues Electronic Process Control (CEPC) where all the welding and annealing parameters such as welding power, line speed, and annealing temperature are recorded and automatically linked to each produced coil. Furthermore, all in-process inspection reports are entered directly on the system which has resulted in reduction of manual work and availability of huge database for analysis. Engineers, managers, and even third party inspectors have the chance of viewing all inspection reports through the system. They can even check the history of each pipe, when and how many times it was tested and/or held at each station. The full history of each pipe can be obtained using only the find option in the tracking system. A significant improvement was also noticed in reducing manual work in preparation of release documents since all information is available in the system and can be checked and reviewed in a real time basis.

Abstract:
New technological developments are changing how the product design community communicates in the workplace and in the classroom. Slack, an online communication application with some project management features, has become a popular communication tool among many workers and students. This paper examines the Slack conversation conducted by 16 student product development teams in a course at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), 2.009: Product Engineering Processes. Following a typical product development process, co-located teams of 17–20 students each used the online communication tool in addition to face-to-face meetings to design new products in one semester. The resulting conversations were analyzed for message count over the course of the semester, message count by day of the week and hour of the day, message count by user, and communication organization. It was observed that teams tended to increase their communication right before deadlines and decrease it right after. When viewing teams’ communication patterns by day of the week and the hour of the day, it was seen that many teams increased their communication in a short period after team meetings. In both of these cases, successful teams tended to have more consistent communication. There was little correlation (R2 = 2186) between the number of hours teams reported working on the class and their Slack activity by day. When looking at a team’s total volume of communication, high volumes may indicate team members are working well, but it may also indicate they are struggling. Teams with higher levels of success tended to have more organized communication structures than teams with lower levels of success, as assessed by instructors. In addition to the data collected in this work, further research is still needed to understand with more certainty how online communication patterns correlate to teams’ levels of success or team behaviors.

Abstract:
With reduced drone cost, object tracking and localization algorithms are well studied for robotics research. In most cases, the scene is stationary and/or motion is smooth so that control system reference input varies less frequently: only at the sharp edges generated by path planning algorithm. However, using systems such as co-robots among human beings, in windy situations and/or around more sophisticated structures will require rapid localization, object detection and obstacle avoidance solutions due to continuously varying controller input and path plan. This research effort benchmarks fundamental object detecting and tracking techniques under highly dynamic disturbances. To perform these tests an experimental system was developed that could create rapid angular motion in a controlled manner. A sensor suite of a visual sensor and an IMU is assembled into a rig. It is mounted on tip of a 6-DOF multi-joint mechanism which consists of a 5-DOF robotic arm and a pendulum mounted to the end effector. While robotic arm is programmed to simulate aggressive drone motion (max. 60 degrees/sc.), pendulum generates an additional highly dynamic angular motion about another plane. This motion can be used to benchmark various types of tracking algorithms, allowing for a comparison in robustness with regards to different motions. The specific motion that will be explored in this research is rapid angular motion. A feature rich landmark is used to execute the experiments. Velocity, acceleration and viewing angle are varied continuously to benchmark basic search-based detection methods using gradient magnitude which is the fundamental step for advanced algorithms. Finally, results with different algorithm parameters are listed to compare robustness of the solutions. Overall system repeatability and precision are discussed with various plots of 2700 processed images.
