Abstract:
This diploma thesis is based on key theoretical concepts of acoustic ecology and soundscape and is divided into two main parts. In first part of the thesis I discussed three main approaches to research of subjective perception and interpretation of everyday sound environment: the ecological approach of WSP, Truax’s acoustic communication approach, and the structural approach of Augoyard and Amphoux of the CRESSON research institute. Concerning each approach I discussed the basic terms and method (or methods) used for soundscape research. In the second part of the thesis I described each phase and made an analysis of the results of the field research of the soundscape of Loreta Square in Prague. The research was done with questionnaires, and two main approaches were used: one place-oriented approach (subjective perception and interpretation of the everyday soundscape of all of Loreta Square) and one sound-oriented approach (subjective perception and interpretation of the sound of the Loreta Carillon). In the following text I will focus on the historical background of acoustic ecology and on the results of field research.

Abstract:
Abstract Objectives Despite a proliferation of research in interpersonal perception and aging, no research has identified the nature of the social and emotional perceptions made by aging individuals in everyday life. In this study, we aimed to identify the social ecological features that characterize everyday interpersonal perception across the adult lifespan. Method Three studies were conducted. Study 1 identified and compared the targets and locations of young, middle-age, and older adults’ everyday interpersonal perceptions; these perceptions were categorized into types in Study 2. Study 3 applied these categorizations to identify and compare the social ecology surrounding aging individuals’ interpersonal perceptions. Results Everyday interpersonal perceptions were directed toward familiar others and occurred in familiar locations, although the specific familiar targets and locations sometimes varied significantly with age. However, the types of perceptions made in everyday life did not vary significantly between age groups. Discussion Aging individuals make similar types of interpersonal judgments, but the targets and locations of these judgments may change with age. Future studies on interpersonal perception and aging will need to account for these features of the aging individual’s social ecology to provide an accurate assessment of the aging process.

Abstract:
Landsenses ecology has been widely applied in research into sustainable consciousness and behavior and the notion of landsense creation realizes the unity of the macro physical senses and micro psychological perceptions. However, a great deal of current research about landsenses ecology has concentrated on the dimension of the physical senses, while there have been relatively few studies on the dimension of its psychological perception. This paper begins by clarifying the concept of self and explaining out that the psychological perception mechanism of landsense creation represents a process of guiding people to know themselves and realize their ecological self. It then utilizes the example of low-carbon discourse to explore the factors contributing to the resonance of ecological self-vision. Our results show that the perceived self-efficacy, environmental concern and environmental knowledge triggered by ecological discourse are the main factors contributing to the resonance of sustainable vision, thus clarifying the indicators of landsenses ecology at the level of psychological perception. Our purpose is to effectively guide the landsense creation of harmonious discourse and promote people to engage in potentially more sustainable behavior.

Full text
Abstract:
The Natural Perception Hypothesis posits that sensory perceptions of time, space, and stimuli are not universally uniform but are finely tuned by each species' specific evolutionary adaptations. This paper explores how natural selection acts on sensory systems, tailoring perceptions to optimize survival and reproductive success within specific ecological niches. By examining variability in time perception (e.g., critical flicker fusion frequency), auditory perception (e.g., frequency range sensitivity), and visual perception (e.g., color vision and light sensitivity) across diverse taxa, we demonstrate that perceptual adaptations result in unique perceptual worlds. Critically, these perceptual shifts do not merely alter specific sensory inputs but effectively change how the entire environment is experienced by the organism. For example, changes in temporal processing, such as variations in Critical Flicker Fusion Frequency (CFFF), allow organisms to perceive motion differently, fundamentally transforming their interaction with all environmental stimuli. We illustrate how such comprehensive changes in perception have facilitated adaptive radiation and non-linear evolutionary dynamics, using examples like the diversification of cichlid fish through visual adaptations and the adaptive radiation of Anolis lizards influenced by visual signaling. The hypothesis provides a potential explanation for rapid diversification events, such as the Cambrian Explosion, by linking the evolution of new sensory systems to bursts of speciation. While acknowledging other contributing factors, the Natural Perception Hypothesis offers a unifying framework that connects sensory ecology, evolutionary biology, and ecology. Understanding that natural selection acts on perception—and that changes in perceptual traits can redefine an organism's entire environmental experience—enhances our comprehension of biodiversity patterns and has practical implications for conservation strategies and ecosystem management. Recognizing species-specific sensory needs can inform efforts to preserve or restore the perceptual environments essential for species survival. Future research directions include empirical studies on perceptual adaptations, mathematical modeling of evolutionary dynamics incorporating sensory variables, and interdisciplinary approaches integrating genetics, neurobiology, ecology, and behavior to further assess the hypothesis's significance in shaping evolutionary processes.

Abstract:
Millikan's discussion of substance concepts in terms of their information-gathering role ignores the analyses of information-based perception and action developed within the tradition of ecological psychology. Her introduction and use without definition of key Gibsonian terms such as “affordance” and “direct perception” leaves those of us investigating such concepts uncertain of the extent to which she appreciates their theoretical importance. Due recognition of the realist account of categorical perception developed by J. J. Gibson would provide mutual benefit to modern externalist philosophy as well as to experimental psychology and to those investigating the ecological approach to perception–action.

Abstract:
The ecological approach is very appropriate for understanding mental, psychosocial, and linguistic development. The aims of this study is to describe the perceptions of sociocultural ecology in agro-industrial societies and their impact on scientific writing competence. Data were obtained by observation and questionnaires on 90 students at the University of Jember as student representatives with an agro-industry environment and their involvement in research and learning texts about agro-industry in the field of writing. The results show that there are groups with high sociocultural ecological perception and knowledge values and groups with low perception and knowledge values. To see the urgency of perception and knowledge of scientific writing competence, these students took a writing test and then the results were examined in terms of reasoning, text organization skills, and procedural knowledge. After the statistical tests were carried out, it was concluded that the perception and knowledge of the agro-industry macrosystem had a significant effect on students' reasoning abilities, significance (sig) 0.032 <0.05; does not have a significant effect on text organization competence with a significance value (sig) 0.067 > 0.05; and has a significant effect on procedural knowledge with a significance value (sig) 0.032 <0.05. These results indicate that the scientific productive competence of language with an ecological approach from the macrosystem aspect needs to pay attention to creativity. Greater efforts are needed to improve the development of writing on the components of unity, continuity, completeness, sequence, and point of view consistency.

Abstract:
Objectives The purpose of this study is to explore how ecology-environment education instructors perceive the relationship between ‘ecological education’ and ‘environmental education’ based on Wittgenstein's concept of the language game and whether there are differences in relationship perception types depending on their background variables.
 Methods 57 ecology-environment education instructors participated in the study, and a questionnaire was organized to select a Van diagram that matches one's thoughts among the types of relationships between ecological education and environmental education and explain why.
 Results As for the types of perception, “ecological=environmental”, “ecological⊃environmental”, “ecological⊂environmental”, and “ecological∩environmental” appeared in the order of frequency. However, even with the same type of response, there were various reasons for choosing. Through this, it was confirmed that while recognizing a common area in values and content knowledge between ecological education and environmental education, it has various perceptions in everyday language according to individual experiences and backgrounds. There was no difference in perception of relationship types according to gender, career period, age group, and final academic level.
 Conclusions It was confirmed that there is a family resemblance between ecological education and environmental education by exploring various types recognized by ecology-environment education instructors as language game concepts. In addition, it suggested the need to continuously pursue diversity and expand education.

Abstract:
Terraces are the major vehicle for agricultural activities in mountainous areas and are an important component of the agro-cultural heritage landscape. This work explores tourists’ perceived attitudes toward, and characteristics of terraced agro-cultural heritage landscapes based on online web travel notes. A framework of visitor perception types of terraced agricultural cultural heritage landscapes was constructed, and each type was analyzed in a targeted manner. The results obtained can provide a reference for the conservation of heritage farming culture and the development of strategies to improve landscape quality for such sites. This study used crawler software to collect online travelogue data from 3991 notes by visitors to seven note-worthy terraced agro-cultural heritage sites in China and used the ROST Content Mining 6 tool to analyze high-frequency feature words, semantic networks, and sentiment distribution and ten-dency. We found that the tourist perception of the diversity of terraced agro-cultural heritage landscape is rich, with a high overall evaluation. The tourists‘ perceptions focused on four elements: landscape, ecology, culture, and service. They were more likely to have a high perception of the landscape than service, which in turn was higher than culture and ecology. The emotional tendency of tourists‘ perceptions is mainly highly positive and neutral, and negative emotions account for a lower proportion and are mostly mild.

Full text
Abstract:
The design of street spaces significantly influences public behavior and quality of life. Understanding how various urban street spatial characteristics affect public behavior, alongside the role of multi-sensory perception, enables designers and planners to create more human-centered urban environments. Grounded in landsenses ecology, this study employs correlation analysis, regression analysis, and Partial Least-Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to examine the effects of different urban street spatial characteristics on public behavior and the mediating role of multi-sensory perception. The findings reveal that street spatial characteristics, particularly the Water Surface Ratio (WSR) and Waterfront Density (WD), have a pronounced impact on behavioral traits, with higher public activity frequencies in areas with elevated WSR and WD. Notably, WSR significantly affects static behaviors, such as sunbathing (β = 0.371, p < 0.001), and dynamic behaviors, such as walking (β = 0.279, p < 0.001). While road and water characteristics directly influence behavior, buildings and green spaces mainly affect public behavior through multi-sensory perception. Different sensory perceptions show varying effects, with olfactory perception playing a significant role in these experiences, alongside a notable chain-mediated effect between tactile perception and psychological cognition. These results provide valuable insights for integrating multi-sensory experiences into urban design.

Abstract:
This review is a synthesis and analysis of the evolution, core concepts and the future implications of media ecology on human thought and perception. It is an interdisciplinary subject that studies media as environments impacting societal frameworks, cultural practices and human perceptions. With Marshal McLuhan’s “Medium is the message” and later developments by Walter J. Ong and Neil Postman in the middle of the 20th century. This article is an effort to pay tribute to theorists, researchers, and media specialists on the media ecology. 100 peer- reviewed articles, books and seminal monographs were reviewed and analyzed to construct the solid foundations of the New Media Ecology. The main objective of this article was to create a theoretical framework for the understanding of media ecology theory. The review is based on two main nodes: media as environment and media as species. The deductive approach has been implied to carry out this detailed descriptive analysis. It's the study of how different forms of communication affect human perception, cognition, emotion, and value, as well as how our participation in media helps or hurts our chances of survival. It's challenging to research media ecology since all habitats are essentially intangible and interrelated, making evaluation difficult. This article's content is based on the researches highlighting the need for explanations of new theories and metaphors in contemporary media ecology. Using these findings, we can now begin delving into the interpretation of future metaphors, relating them to society and its mediating wishes and expectations, as well as their origins. The gaps identified in the study is have longitudinal study on media environments and media literacy of the diverse ecological settings.

Abstract:
Abstract The stock–recruit steepness (h) and compensation ratio are alternative measures of the degree of density-dependent recruitment. They relate similarly to the longevity-related life-history traits (LRLHTs), but studies using information-generating equations and describing such relationships convey three conflicting perceptions. Perception 1 is that h and the compensation ratio decrease as longevity increases and are highest in short-lived, high-productivity species. This perception, usually believed to be inherent in the definition of steepness, is not substantiated by the very definition and, hence, theoretically is wrong. Perception 2 is that h and the compensation ratio increase with longevity and are highest in long-lived, low-productivity species; this perception may occur when the relationships between natural mortality and other LRLHTs are strong, and is most likely correct. Perception 3 is that h and the compensation ratio are independent of LRLHTs; this perception may be caused by the lack of the relationships between natural mortality and other LRLHTs, and is a distortion of perception 2.

Abstract:
In this article we provide a case history of the development of a communicative system in songbirds. In particular, we explore how brown-headed cowbirds, male and female, cooperate in the development and use of species-typical song. The goal is to show how social interactions between and within sexes create a platform for the production and perception of song. We consider six perspectives. First, we discuss the nature of the acoustic signal. Second, we look at the process of song learning. Third, we describe a specific song mechanism, social shaping. Fourth, we look at the more general developmental process of neophenogenesis. Fifth, we consider the developmental ecology for social learning. Finally, we describe how social networks measures can be used to capture the nature of social interactions as the engines of song learning. Taken as a whole, we argue that culturally transmitted behaviors structure social interactions that predict the acquisition of species' typical behaviors necessary for successful reproduction.

Abstract:
The study of polarization of stakeholder perceptions is important to consider the policies that must be taken by area managers related to the development of interpretation programs in national park areas. This study was aimed to analyze and evaluate the characteristics of the subject of interpretation that are considered important by stakeholders, to analyze the differences in perceptions among stakeholders of the attractiveness of the subject of interpretation and to determine the polarization of perceptions of the subject of interpretation among stakeholders in relation to the management of Gunung Halimun Salak National Park (TNGHS). Stakeholder perception data was obtained by distributing a closed pattern questionnaire. Cluster analysis was used to determine the variety of stakeholder perception in interpretation subjects within the TNGHS area. As for knowing the direction and scale of the polarization of stakeholder perceptions, it was analyzed by Kruskal Wallis and Mann Whitney test. The results showed that the largest polarization among stakeholders occurred in the cultural subjects, and the direction of polarization was negative. This indicates the weak attractiveness of the subject of cultural interpretation to stakeholders. The greater commonality of perception between the community and managers forms the basis for the development of cultural interpretations. This development is expected to bridge the community's needs for the TNGHS area as well as provide stronger support for the management of the national park area.

Abstract:
This article brings media ecology into conversation with Alfred North Whitehead's philosophy of organism in an effort to lure the former beyond its normally anthropocentric orientation. The article is divided into two parts. Part 1 spells out the way Whitehead's approach can aid media ecology in developing a less anthropocentric theory of communication. Part 2 engages more specifically with Mark B. N. Hansen's Feed-Forward: On the Future of Twenty-First-Century Media. Hansen's work is an example of the exciting new directions opened up for media theory by Whitehead's panexperientialist ontology, but I argue that Hansen's attempt to "invert" Whitehead's theory of perception is based on a terminological confusion

Abstract:
In a wake of concern towards sustainable palm oil products, the Malaysian government had continuously formulated various guidelines for palm oil industries in fulfilling the international sustainability requirement. In 2013, Malaysia has launched Malaysian sustainable palm oil (MSPO), which eventually become mandatory requirement in January 2020, including the independent smallholders. However, the numbers of independent smallholders that acquired MSPO was relatively low, stood at 30.66%. Therefore, this study aims to analyse the perceptions of independent smallholders towards MSPO in Malaysia. A structured questionnaire was used for data collection instrument that been distributed among 350 independent smallholders, with a response rate of 74.5%. Results from descriptive analysis showed that independent smallholders have a good perception towards MSPO certification. Furthermore, multiple regression analysis revealed that all three factors were significant to influence the perceptions, where the risk perception became the most important contributor. This study enhances the awareness of sustainability practices among independent smallholders and contributes to the implementation of MSPO certification. Since risk perception has emerged as the primary contributor, regulators or governing bodies must seriously consider risk mitigation concerning independent smallholders about risk exposure such as continuous monitoring to comply environment impact assessment requirement, improve the availability and accessibility of information and aggressive awareness campaign on MSPO.

Abstract:
Language, the cornerstone of human civilization, has evolved from rudimentary forms like sign language, coded communication, and pictorial representation to sophisticated systems imbued with complex grammatical structures and rich literary traditions. These advanced languages, particularly those with a well-established written form, serve as potent indicators of societal progress and cultural refinement. This article delves into the fascinating relationship between language and the natural world, specifically examining how Tamil, a classical language boasting a profound grammatical and literary heritage spanning centuries, has deeply embedded within its structure a reverence for nature and its inherent values. It argues that Tamil exemplifies how ecology, as the fundamental source of sustenance and well-being for all life forms, including humans, has been linguistically encoded and celebrated. By exploring this connection, we can gain a deeper understanding of the vital role language plays in shaping our perception and appreciation of the environment, underscoring the importance of linguistic heritage in fostering ecological awareness. Key concepts explored include: the characteristics of a classical language, the linguistic expression of subordination to nature, the regenerative power inherent in natural systems, the value of biodiversity, and the contribution of language to the development of civilization.

Abstract:
A “natural soundscape” refers to the case where the contribution of acoustic events resulting from human activity can be considered as negligeable. As a consequence, natural soundscapes are only composed of biological sounds and geophysical sounds shaped by the specific way sounds propagate within the habitat under study. Within this framework, studying soundscape perception in humans aims at unveiling the relationship between the features of sound mixtures picked up at a given place and time by the peripheral auditory system of a human listener and the characteristics of the auditory percept evoked by these features. We will present a research program based on large and ecologically-valid acoustic databases recorded in protected areas aiming to (i) better understand the mechanisms involved in auditory perception of natural soundscapes; (ii) characterize and explain the effects of sensorineural hearing loss on perception of natural soundscapes; and (iii) assess the extent to which alterations in soundscape perception can be restored back to normal via hearing aids. This programme combines modelling and psychophysical methods to explore our ability to distinguish between habitat, time of day and season, to detect the presence of biological sound sources and to assess levels of biodiversity in the habitat.

Abstract:
Residents’ satisfaction of urban green space has been widely detected in living environments around the world. Most previous reports were performed with objective indicators to reflect the characteristics of vegetation and landscapes of residential green space. However, subjective senses as impact factors in the evaluation of residents’ satisfaction based on landsenses ecology are scarce. To address this, in this study, physical perception, aesthetic cognition, and psychological cognition as latent variables in a structural equation model were investigated to determine the residents’ satisfaction in Xiamen, in southeast China, a famously high green space coverage region. The results indicate that physical perception is the fundamental condition to improve residents’ satisfaction, while aesthetic cognition and psychological cognition are the direct factors that influenced residents’ satisfaction. Residents exhibit a preference for the residential green space which contains more biodiversity and landscape diversity, a higher biomass, and greater openness. In addition, the residents’ perception significantly related to greenspace characteristics. The results provide a scientific basis for urban green space planning and optimization of ecological resources’ allocation.

Abstract:
Rural residents’ perception is an important way of evaluating rural ecosystem services. Different topographies affect the level of ecosystem services, thus affecting residents’ perceived preferences. This study conducted a questionnaire survey of 1176 rural residents in mountainous, hilly, and plain areas of Shandong Province. It analyzed respondents’ satisfaction with ecosystem services and landscape preferences in different topographical areas. The results showed that the perception of ecosystem services was higher than average in all three topographic areas. The perceptions from high to low were cultural services, provisioning services, and regulating services. The perception of ecosystem services was significantly affected by topography, with significant differences between mountainous and plain areas in particular. Rural residents’ perceptions of cultural services varied widely and there were diverse preferences. This study believes that the important concerns in enhancing the perception of ecosystem services among rural residents are to raise villagers’ ecological awareness by meeting their growing spiritual needs and the high sensitivity of older people.

Abstract:
Valuing ecology on the basis of its contributions to environment protection is getting less social acceptance in contemporary development governance. Although, there are multiple models and approaches to tackle the question of ecology, the development governance still prefers to put economic value on ecology. The use value of ecology is becoming an administrative instrument, which often undermines the environment. The impact of this changing perception of ecology is well reflected in natural resource governance. It has become an issue of satisfying individual needs rather than sustainable utilization of resources. This governance is heading towards the project of arresting development; indeed it is becoming an unacceptable solution.

As it was said on the Rio-de-Janeiro sustainable development conference in 1992, economy without ecology is a way to a deadlock, and ecology without economy is a way to nowhere. The determining factor in this conflict of tendencies is energy. Economy is impossible without energy consumption for account of both fuels and renewables, and ecology is socio-natural planetary Home that directly depends on the scales of energy production. The author tries to change this contradictory dyad of our life for the triad of energy-ecology-economy of our future perception and validate harmony of the united nature-society-human system.

Full text
Abstract:
Since René Descartes famously separated the concepts of body and mind in the seventeenth century, western philosophy and theory have struggled to conceptualize the interconnectedness of minds, bodies, environments and cultures. While environmental psychology and the cognitive sciences have shown that spatial perception is ‘embodied’ and depends on the aforementioned concepts’ interconnectedness, architectural design practice, for example, has rarely incorporated these insights. The article presents research on the epistemological foundations that frame the communication between design theory and practice and juxtaposes it with scientific research on embodied experience. It further suggests that Asian aesthetics, with its long history in conceiving relations and art as interactive, could create a bridge between recent scientific insights and design practice. The article links Asian aesthetics to a discourse on ecologies in the post-Anthropocene, in dialogue with contemporary conceptions of time. It outlines an approach to the interconnectedness of minds, bodies, environments, the sciences and cultures, in favour of a future that is governed by creative wisdom rather than ‘smart’ efficiency.

Abstract:
This study examines the effect of consumers’ perceptions of corporate social responsibility (CSR) on their anti-consumer awareness. Specifically, this study aims to uncover the mechanisms through which the consumer’s CSR perception relates to their formation of anti-consumer awareness. A survey design was adopted to test this study’s hypotheses. We collected data from 310 consumers in South Korea and used path analysis and bootstrapping to test the hypotheses. Our results showed that consumers’ CSR perception is negatively related to their anti-consumer awareness. Notably, consumers’ perception of CSR activities is positively related to their perceptions of compassion toward organizations, which, in turn, is also positively associated with their perception of CSR authenticity. Furthermore, compassion and CSR authenticity serially mediate the negative relationship between CSR perception and anti-consumer awareness. Our findings shed light on the importance of engaging in CSR activities from consumers’ perspectives. Specifically, our findings suggest that organizations need to proactively engage in CSR activities with authenticity to maintain and even further their reputation among consumers. Furthermore, by demonstrating the psychological processes of how CSR activities translate into consumers’ attitudes toward the organizations, our study provides fruitful avenues for future research.

Abstract:
How we scientifically measure residents’ perception of tourism developments and earn their understanding and support have an important impact on the scientific management and sustainable utilization of tourist attractions. This study analyzes the mediating role of perceived justice and community identity between residents’ perceptions of tourism’s impact and their support for tourism development by integrating the theories of social exchange theory (SET) and ‘cognition–affection–conation’ (CAC) relationship theory. We surveyed 334 interviewees in the Xinghua Duotian Agrosystem (XHDA), a Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems (GIAHS) site in Jiangsu Province, China. The findings of our study are as follows: (1) Residents’ perceptions had both a direct and indirect influence over behavioral intentions. Specifically, benefit perception of tourism had a significant positive influence, while cost perception had a significant negative influence on residents’ support for tourism development. (2) Perceived justice and community identity played an intermediary role in the relationship between tourism impact perception and support for tourism development. (3) The mediating role of emotions had strong effects on their behavioral intentions via its psychological transmission chain of perceptions. The results suggest that community-based tourism (CBT) may be an effective tool for local residents to diversify their livelihoods in the GIAHS site, and the mediating role of perceived justice and community identity should be taken seriously for the development of CBT in GIAHS sites.

Abstract:
It is recognized that using agro-ecological practices can guarantee sustained agricultural production, which satisfies the necessary amount of food demand. To persuade farmers to adopt agro-ecological practices, it is imperative first to understand their perception of agro-ecology approach. This study aimed to analyze farmers' perceptions of agro-ecological practices and their determinants, using data that were collected from 126 RIPAT and 126 non-RIPAT farmers who were randomly selected in Ruangwa District, Tanzania. Results revealed a significant difference in perception between RIPAT and non-RIPAT farmers. Most RIPAT farmers perceived agro-ecological practices more likely than their counterpart due to training that increased their awareness. The majority in both groups of farmers perceived the relative advantage of agro-ecological practices, particularly in environmental protection and human health and nutrition, but also considered its implementation as labor-intensive and time-consuming. Unlike non-RIPAT farmers, RIPAT farmers perceived agro-ecological practices as compatible with their social values, farming experience, and demands, and farmers can try to implement them to enhance agricultural production. The results of binary logistic regression showed that exposure to the RIPAT approach, access to information, income, and access to credit were significantly influencing farmers’ perception of agro-ecological practices. Awareness of agro-ecological practices, which could be brought about by training, increases the likelihood of positive perception of the same. Therefore, the study recommends more agro-ecological training programs to enhance farmers’ awareness and knowledge which in turn could influence their perception resulting in enhanced adoption of agro-ecological practices for sustainable food production.

Abstract:
This paper examines the question of auditory detection of the movements of silent objects in noisy environments. The approach to studying and exploring this phenomenon is primarily based on the framework of the ecology of perception defined by James Gibson (Gibson, 1979) in the sense that it focuses on the direct auditory perception of events, or “structured energy that specifies properties of the environment” (Michaels & Carello, 1981 P. 157). The goal of this study is triple: -Theoretical; for various reasons, this kind of acoustic situations has not been extensively studied by traditional acoustics and psychoacoustics, therefore, this project demonstrates and supports the pertinence of the Ecology of Perception for the description and explanation of such complex phenomena. -Practical; like echolocation, perception of acoustic shadows can be improved by practice, this project intends to contribute to the acknowledgment of this way of listening and to help individuals placed in noisy environments without the support of vision acquiring a detailed detection of the movements occurring in these environments. -Artistic; this project explores a new artistic expression based on the creation and exploration of complex multisensory environments. Acoustic Shadows, a multimedia interactive composition is being developed on the premises of the ecological approach to perception. The last dimension of this project is meant to be a contribution to the sonic representation of space in films and in computer generated virtual environments by producing simulations of acoustic shadows.

Abstract:
Off-flavour substances may be regarded as a resource which can be used to study special ecological mechanisms. Relevant research on off-flavours is inextricably combined with the study of perception, ethology, genetic control etc. The chemicals concerned are commonly perceived by the senses of olfaction and gustation. Thus research on the chemical ecology of off-flavour substances in the aquatic environment involves the study of a variety of disciplines. For example the biochemistry of the relevant substances and appropriate metabolic pathways must be considered. Chemical properties are important for the behaviour of the substances. The production of off-flavours by organisms is related to phenological circumstances. The biotic effects of ecologically significant substances are dependent on several environmental factors. This paper draws attention to the possible application of fundamental research in this area to selected problems of ecological importance.

Abstract:
With the development of material synthesis technology, many artificial materials imitating natural materials have emerged in the construction industry. The processing technology of these materials’ surface imitating natural texture is becoming more and more realistic. Some materials are not made of sustainable material but use natural textures to imitate natural materials, attempting to bring users a sense of being close to nature and ecology to attract consumers to use it. However, the intention of use still depends on the user’s other factors like health, aesthetics, and environmental friendliness of the material. Therefore, the challenge for material manufacturers and designers is to understand people’s perceptions of these materials to increase their acceptance by users. This paper aims to investigate the user’s perception of materials (sustainable-unsustainable) to evaluate their perception of naturalness, environmental friendliness, and aesthetics through the visual senses. A total of 112 participants participated in the experiment which was divided into two groups (professional architects and non-professionals). The judgment of non-professionals on the environmental protection of materials imitating natural skin is relatively accurate, which is almost consistent with the judgment of professionals. Results show the importance of maintaining the naturalness of the surface texture in the material, which can enhance the user’s demand for a natural aesthetic feeling. Therefore, it is important to maintain the naturalness of surface texture in the process of material surface treatment. Users’ natural perception of materials will affect their aesthetic perception of materials.

Abstract:
The situation with the spread of disinformation in the modern information environment and the complexity of the presentation and perception of refutations caused by the effects of "lasting influence", "reverse action" and the existence of polarized communities — "echo chambers" have been analysed. The dangers of deepfakes have been considered. A new type of content marketing with the self-explanatory name clickbait has been considered. It has seriously revolutionized the way content is distributed and attracted readers' attention. The proficiency of media literacy skills by children and adults in these conditions becomes a key factor in assessing online content and detecting misinformation. And as disinformation takes on new and viral forms, teaching children and teachers how to identify it and interact with it becomes especially relevant. It is concluded that it is necessary to create and introduce a media literacy course into the training program for all subject teachers.

Student participation in authentic research, as citizen scientists, can improve classroom engagement, achievement of learning objectives, and perceptions of science. We present DNA barcoding of invasive lionfish (Pterois volitans) prey as an example student citizen-science project, though the protocols, objectives, and outcomes can be generalized to any piscivorous fish. The objective of this five-lab conservation genetics unit is to enhance student understanding of fundamental molecular and ecological concepts through applied use of DNA sequencing technologies. Student assessments were equivocal, indicating modest gains in conceptual understanding and maintenance of an overall high perception of science. More notably, student findings have contributed to an improved understanding of the impacts of invasive lionfish, including providing the first evidence that lionfish prey on economically important red snapper (Lutjanus campechanus).

This case study examines students’ perception, motivation, and learning gain of a teaching unit featuring wireless sensors as tools to collect scientific data in the classroom. Students analyze data using the corresponding cellphone app, communicate findings to the class, and learn about a changing environment. Wireless sensors are produced for technology-based science lessons and are therefore suitable for our teaching unit to implement into the secondary school curriculum in the context of ecology. We aimed for very simple experimental setups in order to put the focus on handling the modern technical equipment, to make analyzing and learning from the collected data a priority, and to reduce expenses for teachers on busy schooldays. We validated the approach in German school settings with 67 students aged between 16 and 19 years. We found that our practical approach not only leads to high learning gains combined with learning enjoyment, a feeling of competence, and little perceived pressure but also improves students’ understanding of scientific data.
