Introduction. Perception is a holistic reflection of objects and phenomena, in which all perception channels — auditory, visual, kinesthetic — are present. The degree of expression of each channel in the general structure of perception differs. Psychological studies usually show the specific weight of perception channels in its general structure in a one-stage «slice» of a certain group of people. No data on the peculiarities of the perception channels of physicians were found in the available literature. There are very few data on the changes of perception channels in one group of subjects over a long period of time.The aim of the study is to research studying the characteristics of perceptual channels in doctors of different specialties and in the students of professional retraining in the specialty «Osteopathy» in the process of training.Materials and methods. The cohort, prospective study was conducted during 2022–2023 on the basis of the Institute of Osteopathy, St. Petersburg. The object of the study was the students of the professional retraining cycle in the specialty «Osteopathy» — 32 people aged 30–68 years (median — 46,4 years), 13 men and 19 women. The examination was carried out 3 times, at the end of the 2nd course, at the 3rd course and at the 4th course. Twenty-three subjects completed the 3-fold survey. Also during 2023, a cohort, one-time survey of physicians was conducted on the basis of Samara City Polyclinic № 1: gynecologists — 27 people 27–68 years old (median 42,37 years old), dentists — 25 people 24–61 years old (median 42,5 years old), pediatricians — 26 people 24–70 years old (median 43,6 years old), therapists — 23 people 24–64 years old (median 39 years old). All subjects had completed higher medical education and more than 1 year of work experience. The questionnaire S. A. Efremtseva′s questionnaire «Diagnostics of the dominant perceptual modality» was used, which consists of 48 questions aimed at identifying the predominant perceptual channel in three directions: auditory, visual or kinesthetic. The maximum number of points for each of the three modality channels is 16 and the minimum is 0. The survey was anonymous. In the questionnaire, participants provided data on their gender, age, work experience, and date of the study.Results. The peculiarity of the structure of dominant channels of perception in doctors (gynecologists, therapists, pediatricians) was revealed: the kinesthetic channel was most often dominant (36–50 %), the visual channel was second (19–30 %), and the polymodal channel was third (19–22 %). The auditory channel as the dominant channel was the most rare, but at least 11 %. Among dentists, the visual channel of perception was predominant in the dominant structure, 40 %, and 4 % less frequently the kinesthetic channel, with polymodal perception dominant in only 4% of cases. In doctors working in the specialties of «Gynecology», «Dentistry», «Pediatrics» and «Therapy» there was no statistically significant difference in the expression of all perception channels (p>0,05). The general structure of perception of primary retraining trainees in the specialty «Osteopathy» underwent changes as the training progressed. The specific weight of the polymodal channel in the general structure of perception increased annually and increased almost 7 times in the 4th course in comparison with the 2nd course (in 43 % of cases the dominance of the kinesthetic channel was combined with the auditory channel, in 57 % — the kinesthetic channel was combined with the visual channel). The specific weight of the auditory channel decreased, and by the 4th course there were no listeners with a dominant auditory channel left. The expression of the kinesthetic channel in the students of the course «Osteopathy» in the course of training systematically increased (p=0,0008). In the 2nd year of training future osteopaths did not differ from doctors of other specialties, in the 4th year they began to differ by greater expression of the kinesthetic channel (p=0,0001). There were no statistically significant dynamics and differences in other channels.Conclusion. In doctors, the kinesthetic channel of perception most often dominates. In the students of professional retraining in the specialty «Osteopathy», as the training progressed, there was a further increase in the expression of the kinesthetic channel of perception. Its greatest increase occurred in the 4th year of training, and future osteopaths began to differ from doctors of other specialties by this indicator.

The paper covers a range of issues related to the specifics of Russian language mastering by Indian students studying in English and Russian. The research is based on an integrative methodological platform that combines approaches to multilingualism formation from the standpoint of psychological linguistics, cognitive linguistics, the theory of language contacts, discourse and communication science. The research involves the techniques of psychological and semantic analyses and verbal associations, the methods of contextual analysis and comparison. The material of the paper is the data obtained from online surveys of Indian students who have been studying at universities in North Ossetia-Alania for six years (elementary and pre-intermediate levels of Russian language proficiency). The study is aimed at identifying perception channels that represent the features of foreign students cognitive style in the Russian natural environment, descripting level-by-level interfering influence of native languages and weak interference of English. Based on text fragments and lexical units, vectors and methods of interlingual interference were demonstrated, its leading types were determined, that are phonetic, phonemic, graphemic, phonemic-graphemic, morphological and lexical. The role of English as a communicative mediator is defined. The analysis done confirmed complex application of auditory, visual and kinesthetic channels at the information input, and revealed the dominance of the auditory perception channel at the information output while learning the Russian language by Indian students. The Indian students cognitive style tends to be simplified through contamination of written and oral speech, compression, abbreviations usage, intensification of associative and semantic links. Strategies for using Internet translation, imitation of mastering the Russian language, literal translation from English into Russian, strategies for the implementation of graphic, phonetic-graphic principles of writing, phonemic and grammatical reduction were identified as the basic communication strategies of Indian students learning Russian.

There is no reliable data on changes in perception in one group of subjects over a long period of time. Osteopathic researches have examined the development of touch during learning process. At the same time, there have not been studied the dynamics of perception as a whole system.The goal of the study is to research the changes of the perception channels among students of the cycle of professional retraining in the specialty «Osteopathy» in the process of 4-year education and to compare it with the perception channels characteristics of teachers of the cycle.Materials and methods. From 2018 to 2021 a cohort, prospective study was conducted. The study involved persons enrolled in a long (3,5 years) cycle of professional retraining in the specialty «Osteopathy» from I to IV courses — 63 people (35 men, 28 women, age from 26 to 52 years, median 36,5 years), and also teachers of osteopathy with at least 5 years of work experience — 20 people (14 men, 6 women, age from 31 to 55 years, median 48 years). An annual survey was conducted based on the questionnaire of S. A. Efremtseva «Diagnostics of the dominant perceptual modality», which consists of 48 questions aimed at identifying the predominant (dominant) channels of perception in three directions: auditory, visual or kinesthetic. The maximum score for each of the three modality channels is 16, the minimum is 0. The survey was anonymous. In the questionnaire, the participants provided only data on their gender, age, study group number, and the date of the study.Results. The general structure of the students′ perception underwent changes during their learning. The specific weight of the kinesthetic channel in the general structure of listeners′ perception grew annually and doubled in the IV year in comparison with the beginning of training. At the same time, the specific weight of other channels of perception decreased steadily. The expression of all channels of listeners′ perception in absolute numbers also increased (p<0,005). The kinesthetic channel showed the most stable positive dynamics. Its expression began to grow already in the second year of the learning (p<0,001), while the expression of the auditory and visual channels had a statistically significant difference only when comparing 3rd and 4th years of the learning (p<0,005). The perception channels among the teachers of osteopathy were characterized by high absolute indices with similar values for individual channels. In half of the subjects, the kinesthetic channel prevailed in the structure of perception, and in the second half the polymodal channel prevailed with a high rate of kinesthetics. The expression of all perception channels of the osteopathic school students during the learning process gradually approached to that of the osteopathy teachers. At the 4th year of the learning, students did not statistically significantly differ from teachers by the absolute values of perception channels indicators.Conclusion. The students of the osteopathic school showed a regular increase in the expression of all perception channels during their learning (p<0,005). The expression of the kinesthetic channel grew most rapidly. The largest increasing across all channels occurred in the 4th year of the learning. During the first three years of the learning, the listeners, in terms of the perception channels expression, gradually approached the teachers who had high indicators by all channels. At the 4th year, the students did not differ statistically significantly from the teachers. Therefore, the primary training in osteopathy should last at least 3,5–4 years for the high perception index formation of perception of an osteopathic physician.

People often connect and integrate information from different sensory channels to form cross-channel connection. Previous studies have proved that vision, as a dominant perception, will affect the perception and recognition of olfactory channels. This study attempts to prove experimentally that olfactory channels have an influence on the perception and recognition of visual information. Experimental method: Subjects were asked to search the target with a specific shape visually after deeply smelling fragrance card, and their respective reaction time was tested. The indicative of olfactory stimuli is regarded as an intragroup variable, and the forward and reverse correlation between target color and olfactory stimuli is regarded as an inter-group variable. The experimental results show that when the color associated with olfactory stimulation appears on the target pattern, it will speed up the visual search, but when the color associated with olfactory stimulation appears on the interference pattern, it will hinder the visual search speed. Conclusion: It is proved that olfactory cues will lead to visual attention bias to its associated colors, indicating that there is a cross-channel influence of olfactory stimuli on visual attention.

We explore a novel approach to complex domain modelling by emphasising primitives based on perception. The usual approach either focuses on actors or cognition associated with tokens that convey information. In related research, we have examined using effects and/or outcomes as primitives, and influences as the generator of those outcomes via categoric functors. That approach (influences, effects) has advantages: it leverages what is known and supports the expanded logics we use, where we want to anticipate and engineer possible futures. But it has weaknesses when placed in a dynamic human-machine system where what is perceived or assumed matters more than what is known. The work reported here builds on previous advances in type specification and reasoning to ‘move the primitives forward’ more toward situation encounter and away from situation understanding. The goal is in the context of shared human-machine systems where: • reaction times are shorter than the traditional ingestion/comprehension/response loop can support; • situations that are too complex or dynamic for current comprehension by any means; • there simply is insufficient knowledge about governing situations for the comprehension model to support action; and/or, • the many machine/human and system/system interfaces that are incapable of conveying the needed insights; that is, the communication channels choke the information or influence flows. While the approach is motivated by the above unfriendly conditions, we expect significant benefits. We will explore these but engineer toward a federated decision paradigm where decisions by local human, machine or synthesis are not whole-situation-aware, but that collectively ‘swarm’ locally across the larger system to be more effective, ‘wiser’ than a convention paradigm may produce. The supposed implementation strategy will be through extending an existing ‘playbooks as code’ project whose goals are to advise on local action by modelling and gaming complex system dynamics. A sponsoring context is ‘grey zone’ competition that avoids armed conflict, but that can segue to a mixed system course of action advisory. The general context is a costly ‘blue swan’ risk in large commercial and government enterprises. The method will focus on patterns and relationships in synthetic categories used to model type transitions within topological models of system influence. One may say this is applied intuitionistic type theory, following mechanisms generally described by synthetic differential geometry. In this context, the motivating supposition of this study is that information-carrying influence channels are best modelled in our challenging domain as perceived types rather than understood types.

Постановка задачи. В данном исследовании представлен психолингвистический подход к анализу устной речи, который основывается на двух ключевых положениях. Первое положение связано с акустической сущностью языка. Это подразумевает, что единицы, возникающие в процессе говорения и восприятия, хотя и различаются, имеют общие акустические свойства. Вторым положением является признание эмоциональной составляющей в использовании языка. Процесс восприятия речи проходит в два этапа: на стадии непосредственно восприятия и на стадии понимания речевого сообщения. Целью данного исследования является распознавание доминирующей эмоции в зависимости от канала восприятия (разные каналы обладают разной возможностью в передаче информации об эмоциях), а также степень ее выраженности в родном и неродном языках. Результаты исследования. Благодаря сопоставительному анализу были выявлены некоторые совпадения и различия. При помощи слухового канала было обнаружено совпадение во время распознавания положительных эмоций «радость» (max) и «уверенность» (min) в исследуемом материале. Относительно степени выраженности эмоциональных переживаний совпадение в двух языках при восприятии посредством слухового канала отмечается в средней степени проявления. Полное совпадение положительной эмоции, именно, «Радость», в немецких и русских эпизодах также выявлено через визуальный канал. По степени выраженности эмоций совпадений в исследуемых нами фрагментах вследствие восприятия с помощью визуального канала не обнаружено. Выводы. Восприятие «положительных» эмоций в родном и неродном языках посредством слухового и зрительного каналов реализовывается практически одинаково. Что касается степени выраженности эмоциональных состояний в русском и немецком языках, то в большей мере совпадения зафиксированы с помощью слухового канала, чем визуального. Необходимо отметить, что материал, представленный видеофрагментами, обеспечил более эффективное распознавание эмоции в речи на основании активизации слухового и визуального каналов одновременно. Problem Statement. This study presents a psycholinguistic approach to analyzing oral speech, which is based on two key provisions. The first position is related to the acoustic essence of language. This implies that the units arising in the process of speaking and perception, although different, have common acoustic properties. The second position is the recognition of the emotional component in language use. The process of speech perception takes place in two stages: at the stage of direct perception and at the stage of understanding the speech message. The aim of this study is to recognize the dominant emotion depending on the channel of perception (different channels have different capabilities in transmitting information about emotions), as well as the degree of its expression in native and non-native languages. Research results. Thanks to the comparative analysis some coincidences and differences were revealed. With the help of the auditory channel, a coincidence was found during the recognition of positive emotions «joy» (max) and «confidence» (min) in the studied material. Regarding the degree of expression of emotional experiences, the coincidence in two languages during the perception by means of the auditory channel is noted in the average degree of manifestation. The complete coincidence of the positive emotion, namely, «Joy», in German and Russian episodes is also revealed through the visual channel. In terms of the degree of expression of emotions, no coincidences were found in the fragments we studied due to perception through the visual channel. Conclusions. The perception of "positive" emotions in native and non-native languages through the auditory and visual channels is realized in almost the same way. As for the degree of severity of emotional states in Russian and German, the coincidences are recorded to a greater extent using the auditory channel than the visual one. It should be noted that the material presented by the video clips provided a more effective recognition of emotion in speech based on the activation of the auditory and visual channels simultaneously.

Full textAbstract:
Background. Modern literary sources indicate that of the five main channels through which a person receives information (sight, hearing, taste, smell, and tactile sensations), subjects of learning mainly use only three — auditory, visual, and tactile that determine auditory, visual and kinesthetic. Purpose was to determine the types of perception of information by interns and participants of training in the specialty “Anesthesiology and intensive care” to optimize the postgraduate training process. Materials and methods. An anonymous survey of 48 interns and 51 practicing doctors in the specialty “Anesthesiology and intensive care” was conducted using a special questionnaire, followed by interpretation and analysis according to the dominant channels of obtaining information and their combinations. Results. When evaluating the leading (dominant) sensory modalities in the group of intern doctors, a significant advantage of auditory perception among other channels of receiving information was determined. The evaluation of the leading sensory types in the group of training participants who have their own specific work experience in the specialty showed a significant predominance of the kinesthetic informational channel, which is slightly inferior to the auditory sensory type, and only 11.2 % of the respondents account for the visual modality. The involvement of most sensory analyzers and the combination of modalities in the educational process contributes not only to the holistic perception, analysis and assimilation of educational information, but also to the formation of multimodal thinking. Therefore, during the educational process, multimodal technologies should be used, which allow providing educational material in several formats at the same time. Conclusions. 1. Interns mostly demonstrated the dominance of audio-kinesthetic and polymodal types of information acquisition. 2. Anesthesiologists with some practical experience are more inclined to monokinesthetic and audio-kinesthetic information modality. 3. The polymodal type of providing educational information is optimal in postgraduate education of medical workers. 4. The introduction of short-term trainings on mastering practical skills into the educational process creates an optimal combination of ways to obtain educational information and consolidate memory by subjects of training.

This study aims to analyze the effect of product quality, price perception, advertising and distribution channels on purchasing decisions for personal health devices. In addition, this study also aims to determine the dominant factors that influence purchasing decisions for medical devices. This research was conducted in Denpasar City by taking a research sample of 100 (one hundred) people using purposive sampling technique. This study uses multiple linear regression analysis techniques, t test and F test and test of determination. The result of the research is product quality, price perception has a positive and significant effect on purchasing decisions, while distribution channels have no significant effect on purchasing decisions. The implication of this research is that manufacturers who provide medical devices must be able to carry out price strategies in improving purchasing decisions and controlling market share in the health industry.

Full textAbstract:
Image sampling is a fundamental technique for image compression, which greatly improves the efficiency of image storage, transmission, and applications. However, existing sampling algorithms primarily consider human visual perception and discard irrelevant information based on subjective preferences. Unfortunately, these methods may not adequately meet the demands of computer vision tasks and can even lead to redundancy because of the different preferences between human and computer. To tackle this issue, this paper investigates the key features of computer vision. Based on our findings, we propose an image sampling method based on the dominant color component (ISDCC). In this method, we utilize a grayscale image to preserve the essential structural information for computer vision. Then, we construct a concise color feature map based on the dominant channel of pixels. This approach provides relevant color information for computer vision tasks. We conducted experimental evaluations using well-known benchmark datasets. The results demonstrate that ISDCC adapts effectively to computer vision requirements, significantly reducing the amount of data needed. Furthermore, our method has a minimal impact on the performance of mainstream computer vision algorithms across various tasks. Compared to other sampling approaches, our proposed method exhibits clear advantages by achieving superior results with less data usage.

Full textAbstract:
This study examined the users’ awareness and perceptions to determine their awareness levels as it is crucial in increasing uptake of green buildings in Kenya. The study sample consisted of 22 randomly selected building users from 17 commercial buildings in Nairobi City County, Kenya. Using both descriptive (percentages, means) and inferential statistics (Principal Component Analysis, relative perception index) to analyse the data gathered. The findings revealed that the majority (63.6%) of the users were unaware of green buildings. In addition, the internet is the dominant channel through which awareness was acquired. Most respondents perceived green buildings as an environmental concept that was expensive to construct. Based on this study's findings, it was concluded that there was an urgent need to increase user awareness campaigns targeting green buildings' benefits. Green buildings' economic and social benefits should be lauded as much as the environmental ones. Such a move should involve all stakeholders, especially building industry investors.

Full textAbstract:
Background: The present paper initiates the introduction of physical education activities within the Transylvania University of Brașov, aiming at a new strategy. The purpose is identifying the level of knowledge and the level of perception regarding the extent to which outdoor activities are viewed and implemented, and the effects that the latter has on them by tracking certain variables of a sensory nature, comprised of visual, auditory, kinesthetic and digital areas. Methods: This research aims to analyze if the type of sensory channel is influenced by the type of sport and the environment (urban/rural) of that practiced sport. We also analyzed the benefits offered by different sports and if these benefits influence the type of activity. Data were collected using an online survey, a questionnaire, using a Likert scale, with subjects having to choose between multiple answers. In addition, data were allocated and reviewed based on a sample of 100 students who have the habit of practicing outdoor activities. Results: The results of the study significantly show that the objectives were met and as such it can be concluded that outdoor activities, from the point of view of perception systems, can be classified according to the method of ordering the rank of activities by the dominant kinesthetic sensory channel.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate the preferences of children under the age of 12 regarding sales channels: how young consumers perceive online vs offline shopping in terms of advantages and disadvantages. Within a cross channel perspective, it also analyses the connections they make between brick-and-mortar and online stores. Design/methodology/approach – Results are drawn from an exploratory and qualitative study based on a multi-category approach. In all, 62 children (34 girls and 28 boys) aged six to 12 years were interviewed about the advantages and disadvantages of each channel for shopping; how/where they would prefer to shop and why; and the links they make between a brand’s physical store and an online store. Findings – Traditional sales outlets are more popular with six to 12 year olds than online shopping. Physical stores offer variety and instant gratification. Products can be tried out and tested on-site, making the offline retail experience a fun activity. Conversely, children express a very negative perception of e-retailing, which they often consider to be dishonest, offering limited choice at higher prices. When shopping online, delivery time can be a deterrent. Last but not least, no cross-channel shopping perceptions were found. Practical implications – Several results from this study can inform marketing practices at retailers’ headquarters. Store assortment, product availability and store atmospherics are central to the success of offline shopping among six- to 12-year-old children. Retailers should find ways to transfer this relational approach to their online strategy. In the meantime, they must deliver the same basic promises as in stores: a wide choice and competitive prices, no shortage of products and no late delivery. Originality/value – This study adds to the existing body of knowledge on children’s consumer behaviour in three ways. First, it provides new insight into how children perceive not the internet per se but online shopping. Second, it confirms that stores still play a dominant role in shaping the image of a retail brand, from an early age. Third, it suggests that the cross-channel perspective may not apply to very young consumers.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Perception of sound is initiated by mechanically gated ion channels at the tips of stereocilia. Mature mammalian auditory hair cells require transmembrane channel-like 1 (TMC1) for mechanotransduction, and mutations of the cognate genetic sequences result in dominant or recessive heritable deafness forms in humans and mice. In contrast, zebrafish lateral line hair cells, which detect water motion, require Tmc2a and Tmc2b. Here, we use standard and multiplex genome editing in conjunction with functional and behavioral assays to determine the reliance of zebrafish hearing and vestibular organs on Tmc proteins. Surprisingly, our approach using multiple mutant alleles demonstrates that hearing in zebrafish is not dependent on Tmc1, nor is it fully dependent on Tmc2a and Tmc2b. Hearing however is absent in triple-mutant zebrafish that lack Tmc1, Tmc2a and Tmc2b. These outcomes reveal a striking resemblance of Tmc protein reliance in the vestibular sensory epithelia of mammals to the maculae of zebrafish. Moreover, our findings disclose a logic of Tmc use where hearing depends on a complement of Tmc proteins beyond those employed to sense water motion.

The paper outlines the study of translation S-universals and is based both on the psycholinguistic model of literary translation, which combines two approaches to language organization in today’s neuroscience – cognitivism and connectionism, and on the experimental data that demonstrate its validity. A free word association test was used to identify a translator’s cognitive style as a universal tendency determining his linguistic choice. This psycholinguistic tool helped explore the ways how the meaning of the original text was reconstructed in the target text by the selected group of novice translators. A quantitative content analysis and psycholinguistic text analysis were applied for the purpose of studying the correlation between specific textual features of authors and those of the translators. As the empirical study showed, the S-universals maintain the status of common strategies depending on translator’s cognitive style. A ‘think aloud protocol’ (TAP) analysis was used to explore the ways in which the meaning of the original text was reconstructed in the target text by the novice translators. A content analysis and psycholinguistic text analysis were applied for the purpose of studying the correlation between specific textual features of authors and those of translators. The results of the empirical study showed that the observed S-universals, while maintaining the status of common strategies, clearly depend on translator’s cognitive style (analytical or synthetic), and his dominant channel (visual, auditory, kinesthetic) of source text perception.

Translation S- and T-universals have been widely discussed in Translation Studies and their psycholinguistic study has been among the priority topics today. The article is focused on the study of translation ‘S- universals’ (Chesterman 2004) and is based both on the psycholinguistic model of literary translation, which combines today’s neuroscience theories of cognitivism and connectionism, and on the experimental data that demonstrate its validity. The model is resulted in a series of experiments held with undergraduate students of translation department. The results of the study proved the idea of existing specific procedural and discursive S-universals in literary translation. As the empirical data showed, these universals maintain the status of common strategies depending on translator’s cognitive style (analytical or synthetic) and his dominant channel (visual, auditory, kinesthetic) of source text perception.

Full textAbstract:
This research focuses on political narrative about the Russia-Ukraine war in American social media. It aims to investigate the type and configuration of multimodal semiotic resources used to present the events of this war and shape their perception by the audience, primarily American; The New York Times Telegram channel coverage of the 2022 Russian invasion as a case study. What kind of semiotic resources do American social media deploy to construct the narrative about the war? What are the dominant post formats, how they deploy information about the Russia-Ukraine war and construe its perception: the concepts of the war, of Ukraine as a victim of aggression and a fighter for independence, of Russia as a terrorist-state, and of their allies and opponents? Theoretically, this study is underpinned by a cognitive-semiotic, political linguistic and multimodal approach. In political media narrative, storytelling shapes perception of war realities: it frames and reframes the readers’ construal of the world, ascribes connotations to facts and events. A multimodal narrative involves different semiotic resources—verbal, graphic, audial, and cinematographic (in video). The configuration of these heterogeneous signs in a particular Telegram channel’s post defines its influence as predominantly rational or emotional. The findings show that the following post formats are typical for The New York Times Telegram channel: image followed by text and link to another site (the most frequent); gallery (a gallery of images) and quote (a quotation with its source/author as the title) (less frequent); video and audio (rarely used). They serve to accentuate, elaborate, and extend the information in the post. I argue that Telegram posts together with users’ emoji-reactions are a specific interactive genre of a multimodal political discourse. Emojis realize both pragmatic and cognitive functions: on the one hand, they are effective instruments to measure users’ reaction; on the other, they contribute to meaning-making by evaluating and making salient the concepts described. The dominance of rational and verified information in The New York Times Telegram channel creates the true image of Russia’s genocidal war against Ukraine and provides a fair assessment of related concepts.

Full textAbstract:
The article presents an updated model of playing a computer game as the user’s interaction with its system, taking into consideration audiovisuality as the fundamental channel for computer-human communication. Interactivity is an inherent property of computer games, which clearly distinguishes them from other kinds of games: it is therefore a defining feature of computer games. On the other hand, audiovisuality is a necessary characteristic, following from the communication between the computer and its user, taking place mainly in the channel of synchronized image and sound, which is dominant in human perception. The point of departure for the model development is an analysis of human interaction with the machine which runs the game system; in the model, there is a dynamic change from interactivity of a computer game to a human being’s interaction with the computer while playing, which makes it possible to fully account for the complexity of the situation of playing a computer game. The presented model combines the ludic aspect of a computer game (interactive entertainment) with the capacity to convey messages (an audiovisual cultural text), and from a commmunicative perspective, it unambiguously assigns a human being the role of the subject using a computer game.

Full textAbstract:
This study analyzes the use of euphemisms in the debate of the 2024 Indonesian presidential candidates. Candidates used euphemisms to discuss sensitive issues such as corruption, human rights, and social inequality without causing conflict or harming certain parties. Using a qualitative approach, data were taken from the transcript of the debate broadcast on the official YouTube channel of the Indonesian General Elections Commission (KPU RI). The euphemisms presented were based on Warren’s theory (1992), including derivation, compounding, and blending. The results showed that 15 euphemisms were identified from the debate; 8 derivations, 5 compoundings, and 2 blends, of which derivation was the most dominant euphemism. Euphemisms helped candidates convey criticism and sensitive issues more subtly, maintain their public image, and create a more friendly and non-confrontational debate atmosphere. Euphemisms are essential in political communication, especially in Indonesian culture, which priorities gentle and indirect communication. This study contributes to understanding how language can be used to influence public perception and voter decision-making in important political events.

Full textAbstract:
Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is one of the most common sensory deficits worldwide, and genetic factors contribute to at least 50–60% of the congenital hearing loss cases. The transmembrane channel-like protein 1 (TMC1) gene has been linked to autosomal recessive (DFNB7/11) and autosomal dominant (DFNA36) non-syndromic hearing loss, and it is a relatively common genetic cause of SNHL. Here, we report eight Finnish families with 11 affected family members with either recessively inherited homozygous or compound heterozygous TMC1 variants associated with congenital moderate-to-profound hearing loss, or a dominantly inherited heterozygous TMC1 variant associated with postlingual progressive hearing loss. We show that the TMC1 c.1534C>T, p.(Arg512*) variant is likely a founder variant that is enriched in the Finnish population. We describe a novel recessive disease-causing TMC1 c.968A>G, p.(Tyr323Cys) variant. We also show that individuals in this cohort who were diagnosed early and received timely hearing rehabilitation with hearing aids and cochlear implants (CI) have reached good speech perception in noise. Comparison of the genetic data with the outcome of CI rehabilitation increases our understanding of the extent to which underlying pathogenic gene variants explain the differences in CI rehabilitation outcomes.

This study assesses the perception of rural folks in relation to COVID-19 media messages in a Nigerian rural community. By utilizing the Health Belief Model (HBM) and the Risk Perception Theory (RPT), in-depth interviews and observation methods were used to determine rural folks’ perception of COVID-19 media messages and their influence on the attitude of the rural people towards the virus. A thematic analysis of respondents’ views revealed that most of the participants were exposed to public media enlightenment messages on COVID-19. The dominant channels of communication utilized by the rural people to receive media messages on COVID-19 were radio and television, mobile phones (text messages), Facebook, and interpersonal communication through family members. However, the new media tools stood out. Findings further show that participants were able to understand media messages designed to educate the rural folks about COVID-19. However, the study found that the rural folks’ perception of COVID-19 new media messages was negative, and this impacted negatively on their attitude to adopt the safety measures set by the government to control the spread of the disease. The study recommends public education and integration of traditional channels of communication in creating awareness of COVID-19 among rural folks in Nigeria.

AbstractEcological degradation stemming from the paradigmatic pursuit of economic growth is well known. Transforming the current dominant economic discourse will be a great challenge of our time and one that can foster a transformation to a more sustainable state. Little research exists concerning perceptions of growth by individuals in rural areas. In this empirical study, we analysed 33 interviews from two rural communities in Northwest Germany through qualitative content analysis. Our results highlight four archetypical perceptions of economic growth: (1) growth as inherently positive, (2) growth as being self-evident and without alternatives, (3) growth as a systemic constraint, and (4) growth as critical and with negative consequences. Differing perceptions about five key themes within broader societal discourses shape the four archetypical perceptions. All four archetypes are characterized by a common perception of systemic constraints, a lack of concrete alternatives to the current economic system and a lack of individual and societal agency, showing a system that is locked into its current trajectory. The understanding of the consequences of growth, stemming from the knowledge of rural inhabitants, can lay the groundwork for future research on discourses of growth. We envision a strengthening of tangible alternatives to the dominant economic growth paradigm within and with the local communities as necessary for a sustainability transformation.

At this time the image of political parties in Indonesia deteriorated because of various problems afflict their cadres in the Parliament and the executive. In order to increase the public's trust, many political parties begin to perform activities of political communication. This research is aimed to discuss and analyze the political communication held by political parties in the election of 2014. In order to analyze the political communication process conducted by the political parties, researchers using the theory of political communication with the indicator: sources (political communicator), political messages, media or political channels, influence or effect of political communication. The method used is qualitative, with primary data sources such as interviews and observations, as well as secondary data such as photo documentation and source literature obtained from other sources. From the research that has been made known that the political parties use the sources of political communication in the form of print media, electronic, outdoor media, and public communication channel group. Associated with the delivery of a political message, that the political parties use multiple channel messages, both textual and non-verbal, where all of the message channel associated with the media or political channels that are used by political parties, namely the print and electronic media. The results of this study also showed that the influence of political communication has been done by the political parties through the mass media are not always able to influence the attitudes or perceptions of society, because it needs to be seen also from the other side that is the perspective and needs of the community. From the results can be concluded that political communication conducted by political parties through a variety of media is no longer always have a dominant effect because audiences are active and independent.

Full textAbstract:
Carrum Carrum Swamp was a vast wetland to the south-east of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, at the time that it was first sighted by white colonists in 1803. By 1878, the colonists had commenced converting the swamp to dry land for agricultural and horticultural pursuits, and 100 years later it was predominantly residential land. Shifting values in the 1970s led to environmental concerns about water quality in local creeks and Port Phillip Bay and subsequent residential development on the former swamp included the construction of stormwater treatment wetlands. Perceptions of wetlands are now diverse, including positive perceptions that support their presence in urban settings. In contrast, traditionally, wetlands have been perceived negatively, as waste lands, leading to their drainage. Nevertheless, alternative, perhaps positive, perceptions could have existed, only to be overwhelmed by the negative perceptions driving drainage. Understanding the full range of past perceptions is important to ensure that the historical record is correct and to provide historical context to contemporary perceptions of wetlands. It will better equip natural resource managers and designers and managers of constructed wetlands in urban locations to ensure that wetlands are healthy, functioning and appreciated by their local and wider communities. Thus, the perceptions of Carrum Carrum Swamp by colonists from 1803 to 1878 were examined through qualitative content analysis of historical documents, and a typology was developed. Seven different perceptions were identified: scientific, premodern, exploitative, romantic, aesthetic, medico-mythic and ecological. Most could be traced to the colonists’ predominantly British heritage, but one perception arose in the colony in response to the specific environmental conditions that the colonists encountered. This ecological perception valued wetlands as places of predictable water supply in a land of unpredictable rainfall. It recognised wetlands as part of a broader hydrological system, with influences on the local climate. Its proponents promoted the need for a different approach to the management of wetlands than in Britain and Europe. Nevertheless, a dominant exploitative perception prevailed, leading to the drainage of Carrum Carrum Swamp. The typology developed in this study will be useful for exploring perceptions of other wetlands, both colonial and contemporary.

The House of Representatives of the Republic of Indonesia (DPR RI) plays a vital role and significant contribution in the areas of legislation, budgeting, and oversight. This institution is known as the "house of the people" as it serves as a place for representatives to channel the aspirations of the public. However, various recent data indicates that the image of this representative institution tends to be negative. DPR RI often receives unfavorable media coverage, ranging from performance issues to problems such as members' absence from sessions. There is a significant challenge for this institution to convince the public to have a high and dominant perception of it in a positive light. The Parliament News Bureau holds the role of public relations, being at the forefront of providing information and disseminating positive news about DPR RI's performance. This research focuses on the strategies employed by the Parliament News Bureau in handling negative news about the DPR RI in the mass media. The study is a qualitative research with descriptive analysis. Data is gathered from in-depth interviews with the Head of the Parliament News Bureau, documents, and literature studies. The results of this research show that the Parliament News Bureau focuses on generating positive news and disseminating it through various mass media channels and digital platforms such as television, radio, and social media. Additionally, the Parliament News Bureau continuously monitors the mass media to stay updated on news related to the institution and its members.

В последние десятилетия резко возрос интерес к дистанционному формату обучения в высшем медицинском образовании на основе использования интерактивных методов обучения. При этом на первый план выходит моделирование определённых ситуаций, погружение в них, совместное решение проблемы и анализ совершаемых действий. Важным аспектом использования интерактивных методов является учёт доминантного канала восприятия обучающегося, который существенным образом влияет на эффективность обучения. В статье представлены результаты соответствующего исследования, проведённого со студентами Донецкого государственного медицинского университета им. М. Горького, которые обучались в 2020–2023 гг. с применением дистанционных образовательных технологий. С учётом результатов предварительной диагностики доминирующей перцептивной модальности по методике С. Ефремцева при обучении студентов экспериментальной группы интерактивные методы применялись с акцентом на доминирующий анализатор. Итоговый контроль показал, что в этой группе результаты статистически значимо выше, чем в контрольной группе, что свидетельствует об эффективности предлагаемой методики. In recent decades, interest in the distance learning format in higher medical education based on the use of interactive teaching methods has sharply increased. At the same time, modeling of certain situations, immersion in them, joint solution of the problem and analysis of the actions taken come to the fore. An important aspect of using interactive methods is considering the dominant channel of perception of the student, which significantly affects the effectiveness of learning. The article presents the results of a corresponding study conducted with students of Donetsk State Medical University. M. Gorky, who studied in 2020–2023. using distance educational technologies. Considering the results of preliminary diagnostics of the dominant perceptual modality (S. Efremtsev), when teaching students in the experimental group, interactive methods were used with an emphasis on the dominant analyzer. The final control showed that in this group the results were statistically significantly higher than in the control group, which indicates the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Full textAbstract:
This article addresses the extent to which economic downturns influence the perception of immigrants as an economic threat and through which channels this occurs. Our primary objective is an investigation of the specific mechanisms that connect economic conditions to the perception of immigrants as a threat. We therefore also contribute to theoretical discussions based on group threat and realistic group conflict theory by exposing the dominant source of competition relevant to these relationships. Furthermore, we investigate whether people react more sensitive to short-term economic dynamics within countries than to the long-term economic circumstances. Our database comprises all waves of the European Social Survey from 2002 to 2017. The macro-economic indicators we use include GDP per capita, unemployment, and national debt levels, covering the most salient economic dimensions. We furthermore control for the country’s migration situation and aggregate party positions toward cultural diversity. Our results show that the dynamic short-term developments of the economy and migration within countries are of greater relevance for perceived immigrant threat than the long-term situation. In contrast, the long-term political climate appears to be more important than short-term changes in the aggregate party positions. Further mediation analyses show that objective economic conditions influence anti-immigrant attitudes primarily through individual perceptions of the country’s economic performance and that unemployment rates are of primary importance.

Introduction. Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is the dominant modulation scheme in mobile communications. OFDM systems should be capable of operating across a wide range of multipath fading channel conditions. The recent research focus in this field has been on the design of OFDM receivers based on machine learning, including artificial neural networks. Neural networks in such receivers are typically trained for one specific communication system configuration. This complicates the use of neural network-based receivers in real-world systems, thus rendering development of more flexible schemes highly relevant.Aim. To obtain and optimize the structure of an OFDM receiver based on an artificial neural network and consisting of separate modules that can be combined depending on the configuration of the pilot signals and the modulation used.Materials and methods. Computer simulation in the MATLAB environment.Results. The proposed architecture of a neural network-based OFDM receiver uses a combination of two multilayer perceptrons, one of which implicitly implements channel state information estimation and equalization, and the other performs demodulation. The first perceptron forms intermediate representations of data symbols, for which there were no specific references during network training, while the instances of the second perceptron work with these representations for individual data symbols. Variants of the second perceptron were trained for three quadrature modulation (QAM) constellations: 4QAM, 16QAM, and 64QAM.Conclusion. The proposed OFDM receiver for all considered modulation types provided error rates comparable to those of the baseline algorithms under favorable channel conditions (moderate delay spread with low Doppler spread) and outperformed baseline algorithms in severe conditions (channel with a large delay spread and high Doppler spread). Further research directions involve neural network-based generation of soft decisions of the demodulator and development of specialized layers of the neural network that would facilitate approximation of the necessary operations.

The article deals with the linguistic representation of nature perception. The aim of the research is to identify the emotive meaning transmitted in fiction and to reveal the role of the concept NATURE in the construction of the plot line. The novelty of the research consists in the complex methodological approach based on semantic, pragmatic, contextual, cognitive and discursive analysis. The research methodology includes analysing the situations of visual, olfactory, audial, tactile, and gustatory perception, the identification of dominant channels of nature perception, the description of the emotivity, the investigation of the role of the NATURE concept in the development of the plot. The study reveals cases of consonant and dissonant interaction between the evaluative interpretation of nature and the emotional state of characters and the phenomenon of emotional-evaluative resonance. The research has shown the possibility of singling out the discourse-forming function of the literary concept NATURE, which is conditioned by its significance in the construction of the storyline and the actualization of the emotive meaning. The results of the research may be used in the works on discourse analysis, in pragmatic and cognitive researches of fiction discourse.

Full textAbstract:
This study investigates how a consistent brand identity across multiple channels influences customer experiences and relationship development in South Korean retailers’ omnichannel strategies. To address the fundamental challenge of balancing brand consistency with channel-specific customization, we developed a comprehensive omnichannel identity framework through rigorous measurement development and factor analysis. This framework comprises three empirically validated dimensions: trendiness, reliability, and usability. Data collected from 994 customers of two leading South Korean retailers were analyzed using structural equation modeling, revealing that these omnichannel identity dimensions exert differential influences on cognitive and affective brand experiences, which subsequently mediate the development of customer–brand relationships. Notably, the results demonstrated significant variance in the impact of identity components between retailers—trendiness and reliability emerged as primary drivers of brand experiences for Retailer A, while usability constituted the dominant factor for Retailer B. This study contributes to sustainable retail theory by empirically validating the multidimensional conceptualization of omnichannel identity and its selective influence on customer perceptions within an environmental responsibility context. The findings provide strategic guidance for retailers seeking to develop distinctive brand identities across channels in the highly digitalized South Korean consumer market, ultimately enhancing brand equity and sustainability performance through stronger customer–brand relationships that promote environmentally conscious consumption behaviors.

Full textAbstract:
In digital television systems such as DVB-T, service provider has difficulties to observe the quality of picture reception in the viewers’ television. This is due to the unavailability of quality feedback sent from viewers’ devices to the service provider. Therefore, this research proposes link adaptation method in DVB-T system based on image quality measurement at recipient side, so that service provider may adjust the transmission power in real-time to improve the image quality. Quality metric used in this research is human perception- based no-reference image quality metric, which does not need the presence of the reference frame. The quality assessment is focused on the severeness of blocking artifact, which is the dominant artifacts in MPEG video. The numerical results have shown that power adaptation could maintain good picture quality as well as transmission power efficiency at the same time on the digital television transmission system. The proposed scheme is also suitable for other DVB system as well as various digital television system standards.

The subject of this study revolves around the examination of the reception processes of Azerbaijani viewers regarding their practices of watching television channels broadcasting in Türkiye within the framework of cultural studies, particularly within the context of religious perceptions. In this regard, employing the viewer-centered reception method within the tradition of Cultural Studies, the reception modes developed by participants living in various cities of Azerbaijan who watch religious content from Turkish television programs were scrutinized. To ascertain the identification of dominant, negotiated, and oppositional reading forms utilized in audience reception research, and to obtain data regarding meaning-making and reception practices concerning the contents watched by Azerbaijani viewers, a total of 4 different focus group discussions were conducted, consisting of 36 participants. These discussions took place with participants residing in the cities of Baku, Sumqayit, Ganja, and Nakhchivan in Azerbaijan who follow Turkish television channels. As a result, the study revealed that content containing religious knowledge or broadcasting religious programs through television is received by viewers through various readings. It was understood that viewers engage in diversified negotiated and oppositional readings within the content contexts, generally as participants, regarding religious content presented in various formats.

Full textAbstract:
Historic blocks are steeped in the history and culture of a city, reflecting the characteristics of the landscape during historical periods; they are of great significance to the preservation of the historical memory of the city. However, existing research generally lacks integration with big data, and research perspectives are mostly from the conservation planning of historic blocks, the evaluation mechanisms of blocks, and the development of block tourism resources; thus, the public perception is lacking. This study involved 28 historical and cultural blocks in Beijing, the capital of China, and constructed a system of cultural perception symbols based on the cultural connotations of the capital. On this basis, photo recognition was conducted on Weibo photo data collected by relying on the photo segmentation method, and the intrinsic factors affecting the cultural perception of the historical and cultural blocks were explored from the perspective of public perception (local residents and tourists). The results show that: (1) the capital culture of Beijing can be roughly divided into five categories: ancient capital culture, red culture, Beijing-style culture, innovation culture, and other types of culture, based on the photo recognition method; (2) from the perspective of public perception, the degree of perception of Beijing culture and innovation culture is generally higher, while the degree of perception of red culture and ancient capital culture is lower; (3) the 28 historic and cultural blocks of Beijing’s old city are mainly dominated by one or more cultures, and there are no historic and cultural blocks with a balance of five cultures, reflecting the relative lack of cultural diversity within the blocks; (4) the local cultural identity of Beijing is prominent and dominant in the public mind. However, local residents have a relatively high perception of innovative culture, whereas tourists have a higher perception of ancient capital culture and red culture. In this study, photo recognition technology was introduced to study the cultural perception of historical and cultural blocks to provide new ideas and methods for the study of historical and cultural blocks.

In this paper, elaboration of the image of smallpox in popular perception, which manifested itself in connec-tion with the organization of smallpox vaccination by the Russian government, is examined. In the context of the cultural dominance of the ruling class over the people and paternalistic attitude towards it, promulgation of the vaccination is a unique phenomenon for the early 19th century Russia, when the “amount at stake” forced the authorities to appeal to their subjects. It provides an opportunity to analyze the symbols generated by the domi-nant ideology and their perception by traditional consciousness. Propaganda started by means of sermons by the clergy. Numerous Exhortations emphasized contraposition of the benefits of the vaccinated smallpox and the harm of the natural smallpox. The verbal channel of the agitation was supported by a visual one — publication of ”popular prints”. Analysis of the plots in nine images from D.A. Rovinsky’s collection showed that corporeality was recognized as the main means of the visual agitation. Through the image of human body, health and beauty of persons vaccinated against smallpox was transmitted, as well as deformity and hideousness of those who went through the natural smallpox. Having absorbed the dualism of the pro-government propaganda, popular con-sciousness went to create an alternative version of perceptions of the infection and vaccination. By applying the binary oppositions ’friend-foe’ and ’sacred-profane’, people made an important change in their own system of values: unlike other epidemics, such a particularly dangerous infection as smallpox had changed its place in the traditional worldview. It stopped being associated with plague and death and became recognized as being “one’s own” and ”godsent”. Therefore, it should not be opposed but should be accepted with gratitude as a ”gift of God”. Intercultural communications on the subject of smallpox vaccination are not only a vivid illustration of the ambigu-ous impact of the dominant ideology on a folk culture; the emergence of socially and culturally differentiated im-ages of smallpox, having drawn a new demarcation line between the scholarly and folk cultures, deepened the rift in the Russian society, as well as introduced additional difficulties in the process of immunoprophylaxis and made it difficult to identify and treat the smallpox patients.

This paper reviews sociological analysis of the transformation of the link between language and identity among Soviet Jewish immigrants in Israel, focusing on their common desire for Russian language maintenance after their immigration to the State of Israel. The authors argue that although the immigrants acquire Hebrew quite fast, which improves their occupational perspectives and enriches their social life, the former Soviet Jewish intelligentsia’s perception of the dominant Israeli policy of language shift to Hebrew is extremely negative: in their view it resembles the Soviet policy of language shift to Russian. However, because of the success of Soviet language policy in suppressing Yiddish and Hebrew, the contemporary cultural world of Russian Jews has been mediated mostly in Russian. Furthermore, the self-identification of today’s post-Soviet Jewish intelligentsia combines the Jewish (mostly Yiddish) legacy and the heritage of Russian culture, which has been created partly by Jewish writers. Therefore, Russian Jews tend to consider Russian a more important channel than Hebrew for conveying their cultural values. The Soviet Jewish intelligentsia in Israel is striving to retain a multilingual identity: while they do appreciate Hebrew and the cultural values it conveys, they share a strong feeling that their own cultural-linguistic identity is of great value to them.

Many studies have found benefits of using somatosensory modality to augment sound information for individuals with hearing loss. However, few studies have explored the use of multiple regions of the body sensitive to vibrotactile stimulation to convey discrete F0 information, important for music perception. This study explored whether mapping of multiple finger patterns associated with musical notes can be learned quickly and transferred to discriminate vocoded auditory stimuli. Each of eight musical diatonic scale notes were associated with one of unique finger digits 2-5 patterns in the dominant hand, where pneumatic tactile stimulation apparatus were attached. The study consisted of a pre and post-test with a learning phase in-between. During the learning phase, normal-hearing participants had to identify common nursery song melodies presented with simultaneous auditory-tactile stimulus for about 10 min, using non-vocoded (original) audio. Pre- and post-tests examined stimulus discrimination for 4 conditions: original audio + tactile, tactile only, vocoded audio only, and vocoded audio + tactile. The audio vocoder used cochlear implant 4 channel simulation. Our results demonstrated audio-tactile learning improved participant’s performance on the vocoded audio + tactile tasks. The tactile only condition also significantly improved, indicating the rapid learning of the audio-tactile mapping and its effective transfer.

Full textAbstract:
The dominant low-light object detectors face the following spectral trilemma: (1) the loss of high-frequency structural details during denoising, (2) the amplification of low-frequency illumination distortion, and (3) cross-band interference in multi-scale features. To resolve these intertwined challenges, we present UMFNet—a frequency-guided detection framework that unifies adaptive frequency distillation with inter-band attention coordination. Our technical breakthroughs manifest through three key innovations: (1) a frequency-adaptive fusion (FAF) module employing learnable wavelet kernels (16–64 decomposition basis) with dynamic SNR-gated thresholding, achieving an 89.7% photon utilization rate in ≤1 lux conditions—2.4× higher than fixed-basis approaches; (2) a spatial-channel coordinated attention (SCCA) mechanism with dual-domain nonlinear gating that reduces high-frequency hallucination by 37% through parametric phase alignment (verified via gradient direction alignment coefficient ρG = 0.93); (3) a spectral perception loss combining the frequency-weighted structural similarity index measure (SSIM) with gradient-aware focal modulation, enforcing physics-constrained feature recovery. Extensive validation demonstrates UMFNet’s leadership: 73.1% mAP@50 on EXDark (+6.4% over YOLOv8 baseline), 58.7% on DarkFace (+3.1% over GLARE), and 40.2% on thermal FLIR ADAS (+9.7% improvement). This work pioneers a new paradigm for precision-critical vision systems in photon-starved environments.

The aim of present study is to explore the reception processes of Azerbaijani viewers’ of television channels broadcasting from Turkey within the framework of Cultural Studies pertaining to Turkish culture and tourism. Employing the audience-centered reception approach within the tradition of Cultural Studies, this study examines the reception patterns exhibited by participants residing in diverse cities in Azerbaijan who watch Turkish television programs. Four separate focus group interviews involving a total of 36 participants were conducted to investigate the dominant, negotiated, and oppositional styles of perception prevalent in audience reception research, thereby gathering data on the interpretive practices and reception behaviors of Azerbaijani viewers regarding the content they consume. The findings were thematically synthesized to elucidate the viewers’ reception styles. Consequently, the research indicates that diverse television content is interpreted by the audience through various reception frameworks concerning Turkish culture and tourism incentives. It was observed that Azerbaijani viewers, watch a broad spectrum of Turkish television programs, engage in understanding Turkish culture, with the majority of participants demonstrating a propensity towards dominant interpretations.

INTRODUCTION: The basic functional unit of the mammalian neocortex is the cortical column. It consists of a vast diversity of circuit elements and interconnected layers supporting a range of computations for cognitive functions. While much progress has been made in our understanding of its functional architecture in animal models, its role in complex, uniquely human cognitive processes remain unknown. METHODS: We utilized a new columnar recording approach in humans participating of cognitive tasks, while undergoing awake neurosurgical procedures. The novelty of this approach hinged on utilizing state-of-the-art Neuropixels probes for our recordings, a silicon-based electrophysiology recording electrodes with high channel count and recording site density. This technology allows us to measure neural activity with single cell resolution throughout the neocortical column and its layers, and at a scale that is far beyond the capabilities of current clinically-approved devices. The participants performed a naturalistic visual priming-based sentence production task that provided them with pictorial representations of events that had to be articulated in specific form and order. RESULTS: We observed distinct spatiotemporal activity dynamics throughout the cortical column in the language-dominant prefrontal cortex that encoded a preparatory mode for speech generation, as well as visual perception and sentence construction processing stages during natural speech. Furthermore, we observed the emergence of this columnar activity pattern with optimal visual inspection of presented images (by high resolution eye and pupil tracking) and associated improved performance during the task. CONCLUSIONS: These results highlight a functional organization of the cortical column in the human prefrontal cortex subserving sensory-motor transformations for visual conscious perception and speech production, with profound implications for future brain machine interfaces that aim to restore complex human cogntive functions.

<strong>Abstract</strong> This research study investigates the effectiveness of demographic-centric marketing strategies in promoting cashew nuts and examines the marketing strategies employed by cashew nut processing units in a designated study area. Additionally, it evaluates the extent to which digital marketing has been incorporated into the operations of these units. The study adopts a quantitative research approach, utilizing surveys and data analysis, spanning a three-month period from April 2023 to June 2023. Sampling 400 registered and 400 unregistered units through simple random sampling techniques ensures a balanced representation. Data is collected through structured questionnaires administered via face-to-face interviews, online forms, and telephone interviews following pilot testing for questionnaire refinement. The results highlight the significance of consumers' age in shaping their perception of cashew nuts, particularly among the younger age groups (16-25 years and 26-35 years). These demographics are more influenced by modern marketing strategies and technology, underscoring their importance in analyzing consumer perception. Regarding marketing strategies employed by cashew nut processing units, retailers emerge as the dominant distribution channel (67.50%), followed by wholesalers. Middlemen play a diminishing role, reflecting changing consumer behaviors driven by technological advancements in the rural context of Cuddalore. Price determination is shared between the government and local sellers (50% each). While adherence to Cashew Nut Union advice is limited, unity among local communities is recognized as essential. In terms of marketing strategies, digital platforms, especially social media, hold significant sway over traditional mediums such as newspapers and magazines. Social media's popularity can be attributed to widespread mobile phone access and increased comfort with platforms like WhatsApp, Facebook, and LinkedIn. These findings provide valuable insights into the marketing dynamics of cashew nuts and underscore the need for businesses to adapt to changing consumer preferences and technology trends in their marketing strategies.

Hence need for awareness and goodwill of all parties, especially the young generation, to reduce the impact of climate change. This study aimed to analyze the influence of factors of knowledge, perception and attitude towards pro-environmental behavior intention of the young generation. By using multiple regression analysis, the results of this study show that the factor of knowledge, perceptions and attitudes about climate change have a positive influence and significant to pro-environmental behavior intention of the young generation. Furthermore, of these factors, the perceptions of the climate change are factors that have a more dominant influence on the intention proenvironmental behavior of the young generation. Thus, in order to further grow and develop the intention of young people to behave in a pro-environment, for they need to be given opportunities and greater access to resources and information channels to increase their knowledge related to environmental strategic issues, especially climate change and its impacts, so with the knowledge that will shape their perceptions better on climate change and, in turn, will form a more empathetic attitude. For that, the one way can be used is to empower organizations where they are working as a means to increase knowledge, shape perceptions and attitudes and arouse their intentions to behave pro-environment, through the activity of an organized, planned and organized.

Full textAbstract:
As a form of protection, a nature park is often created to protect and valorise natural and cultural heritage in peripheral rural areas. However, in terms of multifunctionality, new nature parks incorporate traditional productive activities, such as recreational and tourist activities, which sometimes compromise sustainability. The research objective is to study the relationship between tourism and sustainability in the nature parks of Sierra de Aracena y Picos de Aroche, Sierra Norte de Sevilla and Sierra de Hornachuelos that make up the Dehesas de Sierra Morena Biosphere Reserve in Andalusia, Spain. Therefore, selective interviews have been carried out with the stakeholders to establish their perception of sustainable tourism and the presence of dominant discourses. The main conclusions indicate: (1) the presence of different dominant discourses on sustainability, namely the conservationist and mercantilist ones, with the prevalence of the economic dimension; (2) poor awareness and adaptation to the context of global change; and (3) the presence of competitive relationships that generate difficulties for the governance of sustainable tourism.
