Full textAbstract:
While writing from a qualitative tradition often occurs in first person and from a quantitative tradition often occurs in third person, the pros and cons of voice in mixed methods research needs consideration. This article argues for more inclusion of the first-person in such writing, particularly as evidence for the researcher’s claims, as a way to triangulate and corroborate perspectives from a Bakhtinian dialogic theoretical framework. This article presents a discussion of the first- and third-person styles in academic writing and the effect of each on the reader. Additionally, there are dialectic and complementary justifications for such use of different perspectives within a mixed methods piece, as each style dialogues with the other, compensating for the other’s shortfalls. Such a style of writing is imperative because it brings both distance and familiarity, presenting a more complete understanding of the mixed methods research and the phenomenon investigated.

Full textAbstract:
In this introduction to the special issue on First-Person Methods in (Human-Computer Interaction) HCI, we present a brief overview of first-person methods, their origin, and their use in Human-Computer Interaction. We also detail the difference between first-person methods, second-person, and third-person methods, as a way to guide the reader when engaging the special issue articles. We articulate our motivation for putting together this special issue: we wanted a collection of works that would allow HCI researchers to develop further, define, and outline practices, techniques and implications of first-person methods. We trace links between the articles in this special issue and conclude with questions and directions for future work in this methodological space: working with boundaries, risk, and accountability.

Abstract Jakarta Indonesian is a colloquial variety of Indonesian spoken primarily in Indonesia’s capital, where it was originally a contact variety between Betawi, the local variety of Malay, and Standard Indonesian. Like other varieties of Indonesian, Jakarta Indonesian is a language with a relatively open system of pronominal reference and multiple forms for self-reference. In this paper we focus on variation in the use of first-person pronouns in Jakarta Indonesian, using two corpora of spoken data collected three decades apart. We employ both quantitative and qualitative methods to examine the form, function and social meaning of 1sg pronouns in Jakarta Indonesian, investigating both inter- and intra-speaker variation over time.

Full textAbstract:
Recently, thermal imaging modules equipped for infantry soldiers have been a trend to improve the combat ability of soldiers. Soldiers have to perform many different tasks at the same time, so it is necessary to equip them with the tools of automatic target detection, especially human objects detection, in practice. Hence, there is a need to intelligently optimize the effectiveness of thermal imaging equipment. New artificial intelligence and deep learning(DL) approaches are applicable methods that show superior accuracy compared to previous methods. However, state-of-the-art DL methods depend on the generality and diversity of the training data set. To address this issue, our paper presents the DeepThermal Outdoor thermal imaging data set, which is collected from equipment mounted on the body of infantry at various terrain locations. The labeled dataset focuses on human objects with different locomotion postures, and it contains 10,190 images and 22,464 labeled human-objects. Finally, the experiment is conducted with several DL methods using the proposed dataset, and the results show its contribution to the improvement of the performance of DL methods to detect humans on thermal images as well as to evaluate the practical applicability of a DL.

Research has shown that teachers’ biases often inform their instructional decisions. Andrea Brownlee reflects on how this finding played out in his own life as a Black child growing up in a community engulfed by the crack epidemic in the 1980s. His teachers tended to focus on his behavior and the ways his problem-solving methods differed from the norm, and they seemed unprepared to offer lessons that connected to what was happening in Brownlee’s community. Yet his community provided him unexpected opportunities to learn. He urges teachers to learn more about what the children they teach are facing and to dismantle the oppressive norms that get in the way of their success.

As an avid proponent of student-active teaching pedagogy, one of the various methods that I employ is to build an entire course around discussion of a body of readings. First-person sources serve as one of the best media for this approach. Two of my most popular offerings, "Women's Lives in Asia and Africa" and "The Civil Rights Era," focus on a film and the discussion of one or more first-person accounts each week. My course "The Vietnam Experience" is more heavily lecture-oriented, but reading, discussing, and writing about first-person sources is a central component of this course as well.

Full textAbstract:
We present a first-person, retrospective exploration of two radio sonification pieces that employ narrative scaffolding to teach audiences how to listen to data. To decelerate and articulate design processes that occurred at the rapid pace of radio production, the sound designer and producer wrote retrospective design accounts. We then revisited the radio pieces through principles drawn from guidance design, data storytelling, visualization literacy, and sound studies. Finally, we speculated how these principles might be applied through interactive, voice-based technologies. First-person methods enabled us to access the implicit knowledge embedded in radio production and translate it to technologies of interest to the human–computer-interaction community, such as voice user interfaces that rely on auditory display. Traditionally, sonification practitioners have focused more on generating sounds than on teaching people how to listen; our process, however, treated sound and narrative as a holistic, sonic-narrative experience. Our first-person retrospection illuminated the role of narrative in designing to support people as they learn to listen to data.

The term “noetic” comes from the Greek word noēsis/noētikos that means inner wisdom, direct knowing, intuition, or implicit understanding. Strong cultural taboos exist about sharing these experiences. Thus, many may not feel comfortable transparently discussing or researching these topics, despite growing evidence that these experiences may be real. The study’s objective was to qualitatively evaluate first-hand accounts of noetic experiences. 521 English-speaking adults from around the world completed an online survey that collected demographic data and four open-ended questions about noetic experiences. Thematic analysis was used to characterize the data. The ten most used codes were expressing to or sharing with others, impacting decision-making, intuition/”just knowing,” meditation/hypnosis, inner visions, setting intentions/getting into the “state,” healing others, writing for self, and inner voice. There were five main themes identified: 1. Ways of Engagement; 2. Ways of Knowing; 3. Types of Information; 4. Ways of Affecting; and 5. Ways of Expressing. Subthemes. Future research will include investigating the nuances of these themes and also establishing standardized methods for evaluating them. This would also then inform curricula and therapies to support people in these experiences.

More and more games have entered the market as computer processing power has improved, drawing in a sizable fan base. As a result, the video game industry has seen a rise in both revenue and the breadth of its product offering. Whether or not a game can generate enough revenue is dependent on a number of factors, including the game's ability to attract players, the quality of its gameplay, and the experience it provides to those that play it. This paper through methods of literature review and analysis will review the target detection, image recognition, and other artificial intelligence-related technology used in games, as well as provide suggestions for future development and a summary of the current state of the field.

Full textAbstract:
The article highlights some of the parallels encountered in the areas of mindfulness and first-person scientific approaches to research into consciousness. It thus considers the possibilities of using mindfulness as a scientific method in the area of cognitive science. We are well aware that both first-person research approaches in cognitive science and mindfulness as a type of Buddhist practice are intertwined with certain conceptual frameworks. This calls for a careful consideration of their individual characteristics, which may gain completely different meanings outside of their primary contexts. Since the concept of mindfulness has been a part of Western thinking for some time now, especially in the area of therapy, we believe it is necessary for a critical reflection on the possibilities of both of these areas to inspire each other. We touch upon some of the important epistemological and methodological questions, and point out some of the problems common to both empirical first-person research and Buddhist methods of contemplation of experience. More specifically, this work examines the problem of limited scope of insight, the subject-object split and excavation fallacy, the problem of researching everyday experience, and the issue of horizon. We also consider the question of research intention in both science and Buddhism. The conclusion gives some suggestions as to how these two areas might mutually benefit one another. We also point out the ethical aspects that Buddhism might contribute to scientific research, and the open-endedness that science could contribute to Buddhism and other spiritual practices.

Full textAbstract:
The emergence of new wearable technologies, such as action cameras and smart glasses, has driven the use of the first-person perspective in computer applications. This field is now attracting the attention and investment of researchers aiming to develop methods to process first-person vision (FPV) video. The current approaches present particular combinations of different image features and quantitative methods to accomplish specific objectives, such as object detection, activity recognition, user–machine interaction, etc. FPV-based navigation is necessary in some special areas, where Global Position System (GPS) or other radio-wave strength methods are blocked, and is especially helpful for visually impaired people. In this paper, we propose a hybrid structure with a convolutional neural network (CNN) and local image features to achieve FPV pedestrian navigation. A novel end-to-end trainable global pooling operator, called AlphaMEX, has been designed to improve the scene classification accuracy of CNNs. A scale-invariant feature transform (SIFT)-based tracking algorithm is employed for movement estimation and trajectory tracking of the person through each frame of FPV images. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. The top-1 error rate of the proposed AlphaMEX-ResNet outperforms the original ResNet (k = 12) by 1.7% on the ImageNet dataset. The CNN-SIFT hybrid pedestrian navigation system reaches 0.57 m average absolute error, which is an adequate accuracy for pedestrian navigation. Both positions and movements can be well estimated by the proposed pedestrian navigation algorithm with a single wearable camera.

The present research aims to present comparative analysis of two genres of non-fiction: autobiographies and travelogues. Autobiographies are personal narratives or firsthand accounts of unique or dramatic events of an individual’s life while travelogue is record of a person’s journey to another place and the author’s traveling experiences. The present study explores functional variations that exist in these genres based on the multidimensional analysis approach presented by Biber (1988). This corpus-based research employs triangulation methods to quantitatively analyze statistical techniques and to qualitatively interpret the function of co-occurring linguistic features. Statistical evidence suggests that significant variation exists between two genres with travelogues are more informational, more explicit and less persuasive than autobiographies. Nouns and prepositions are the major constituents of both these first person narratives. This research can be further extended to compare the functional dimensions of autobiographies and travelogues with other first-person narratives. A contrastive genre analysis can also be conducted to explore variations in native and non-native writings.

This paper presents a first-person account of using qualitative research methods to address medical residency education. The results of this project have been published. However, the study's process and its educational impact on the participants have not been well-described. The purpose of this article is to describe the background and conduct of the study itself. A family medicine residency program, the setting for this project, had recently begun accepting international medical graduates (IMGs) who had lived and received medical school education outside of the United States. The author, a faculty member in the residency and a clinical psychologist, and the physician faculty observed residents as they saw patients in the family medicine residency clinic. Concern was expressed about some of the IMG resident physicians’ knowledge base and their ability to develop rapport with patients. In providing instruction in behavioral science, the author and a psychologist colleague noted that some of the IMG residents were confused by aspects of U.S. family life and the educational system. The relationship with clinical instructors and expectations of faculty also differed from the pedagogical norms in U.S. medical education. As a result, a qualitative interview project was undertaken to understand better how these IMG residents were experiencing and interpreting faculty-learner and resident physician-patient interactions. The results were beneficial in multiple ways. First, recognizing that faculty members were interested in their experiences helped develop rapport and trust between the faculty and residents. Providing the project results to the residents helped open discussion about cultural differences in medical education and patient care. For educators who may have difficulty understanding the perspective that learners bring to their education, the process described could be of potential benefit.

Artificial Intelligence bots are extensively used in multiplayer First-Person Shooter (FPS) games. By using Machine Learning techniques, we can improve their performance and bring them to human skill levels. In this work, we focused on comparing and combining two Reinforcement Learning training architectures, Curriculum Learning and Behaviour Cloning, applied to an FPS developed in the Unity Engine. We have created four teams of three agents each: one team for Curriculum Learning, one for Behaviour Cloning, and another two for two different methods of combining Curriculum Learning and Behaviour Cloning. After completing the training, each agent was matched to battle against another agent of a different team until each pairing had five wins or ten time-outs. In the end, results showed that the agents trained with Curriculum Learning achieved better performance than the ones trained with Behaviour Cloning by a matter of 23.67% more average victories in one case. In terms of the combination attempts, not only did the agents trained with both devised methods had problems during training, but they also achieved insufficient results in the battle, with an average of 0 wins.

AbstractThe development of paradigms, or perspectives of research takes place at the level of theory, in the domain of methodology, and in the context of existing paradigms and perspectives. The development of the person-oriented approach has made considerable progress at the level of theory. In addition, the approach has found a large number of applications. Sterba and Bauer's Keynote Article has closed a gap by discussing methodological implications of the person-oriented approach. In particular, the authors have discussed whether and, if yes, how the tenets of the person-oriented approach can be tested using tools of applied statistics popular in current empirical psychological research. Continuing this discussion, this article focuses on recent developments in all three areas. First, the importance and the implications of the concept of dimensional identity are discussed. It is argued that dimensional identity needs to be established across time and individuals for comparisons to be valid, both in person-oriented and in variable-oriented research. Second, methods not covered in Sterba and Bauer's Keynote are discussed and their application is exemplified. One focus of this discussion is on configural frequency analysis, which allows researchers to make statements about particular cells or groups of cells in cross-classifications of categorical variables. Third, person-oriented research is compared to differential psychology. It is argued that the concept of dimensional identity represents the next step in the development of a psychological subdiscipline that allows one to consider that individuals differ and develop in unique ways. These differences not only manifest in means but in any parameter, including covariance structures, and they can also manifest in the differential meaningfulness of variables for the description of individuals.

Abstract Objectives Several studies have investigated the relationship between contemplative approaches and psychobiological stress response; however, this area of research is still new, the mechanisms of the relationship between the stress response attenuation and contemplative training have not been fully delineated, and little is known about the effects of contemplative practice on the ways psychological stress is experienced. This study aimed to explore the first-person experience of psychological stress in meditation practitioners. Methods We conducted short semi-structured interviews with twenty-five meditation practitioners and twenty meditation-naïve controls immediately after they had undergone a laboratory task (the Trier Social Stress Test). A mixed-method approach was used to analyze the interviews. Thematic analysis was combined with descriptive statistics of the qualitative information that had been converted to quantitative data. Results Experiences instantiating main themes were identified as follows: (1) primary experiences encountered, describing the most salient experiences associated with the task; (2) reasons for stress, delineating the analyses of why the task was stressful; (3) affect, dealing with emotional experiences during the task; (4) emotion regulation; and (5) attention allocation describing regulatory strategies employed by the participants. Responses to subjective stress experience in meditation practitioners included use of humor, presence of positive affect, combinations of different types of emotion regulation strategies, and adaptive attention allocation. Conclusions This study elucidates particularities of meditators’ subjective experience of psychological stress, provides new insights on the mechanisms of meditation effect on the stress response, and proposes new directions for research.

Objectives Tutorial videos filmed from a first-person point of view (FP-POV) are generally well received. Pediatric residents are expected to be competent in performing the lumbar puncture (LP). The educational effectiveness of a FP-POV in lumbar puncture procedure training for resident physicians has yet to be evaluated. We compared a FPPOV LP video with a standard in-person demonstration of the LP. Methods We designed an assigned cohort study to compare a FP-POV procedural instructional video of a simulated pediatric LP to the standard in-person procedure demonstration. After the intervention, residents completed an LP observed by one of two blinded reviewers who assessed the procedure using a modified, published assessment tool. Participants completed preintervention and postintervention surveys to rate self-confidence and usefulness of the FP-POV educational method. The data was analyzed using a Wilcoxon Rank sum test. z Scores were calculated on the raw assessment scores. Results Eighteen first year pediatric residents participated, nine in each group. The median modified assessment tool score was 17 in the FP-POV group (min, 14; max, 17; IQR:, 1.5) and 14 in the standard demonstration group (min, 6; max, 17; IQR, 4.5), with the higher score being more successful. There was a statistical difference between the assessment scores between the 2 groups (z score = 2.18, P = 0.04). Postintervention survey data demonstrated relative satisfaction with the FPPOV educational method. Conclusions This study supports the educational effectiveness of a FP-POV procedure tutorial. Future studies with a larger sample size are needed.

Full textAbstract:
Most research regarding youth with autism spectrum disorder has not focused on their first-person perspectives providing limited insight into methodologies best suited to eliciting their voices. We conducted a synthesis of methods previously used to obtain the first-person perspectives of youth with various disabilities, which may be applicable to youth with autism spectrum disorder. Two-hundred and eighty-four articles met the inclusion criteria of our scoping review. We identified six distinct primary methods (questionnaires, interviews, group discussion, narratives, diaries, and art) expressed through four communication output modalities (language, sign language and gestures, writing, and images). A group of parents who have children with autism spectrum disorder were then presented with a synthesis of results. This parent consultation was used to build on approaches identified in the literature. Parents identified barriers that may be encountered during participant engagement and provided insights on how best to conduct first-person research with youth with autism spectrum disorder. Based on our findings, we present a novel methodological framework to capture the perspectives of youth with various communication and cognitive abilities, while highlighting family, youth, and expert contributions.

2D multi-person pose estimation is a process to detect all bodies in a two-dimensional picture. The main purpose of this report is to discuss the difference between top-down and bottom- up method in multi-person human pose estimation. This estimation will focus on many people in one picture. There are two popular methods in this area. The first is top-down method, which is to find people firstly and then to detect the body of each people. On the other hand, the bottom-up method is to detect body parts and then find each person. Their comparison and analyse in algorithm, speed and accuracy may help researchers to find more suitable methods when they research in human pose estimation. Generally, top-down methods have higher accuracy than bottom-up methods but have higher speed.

Full textAbstract:
This article explores recent theories of listening, perception and embodiment, including those by Mark Grimshaw and Tom Garner, Salomé Voegelin, and Eric Clarke, as well as consequences and possibilities arising from them in relation to field recording and soundscape art practice. These theories of listening propose auditory perception as an embodied process of engaging with and understanding lived environment. Such phenomenological listening is understood as a relational engagement with the world in motion, as movement and change, which grants access to the listener’s emerging presence, agency and place in the world. Such ideas on listening have developed concurrently with new approaches to making and presenting field recordings, with a focus on developing phonographic methods for capturing and presenting the recordist’s embodied auditory perspective. In the present study, ‘first-person’ field recording is defined as both method and culturally significant material whereby a single recordist carries, wears or remains present with a microphone, consciously and reflexively documenting their personal listening encounters. This article examines the practice of first-person field recording and considers its specific applications in a range of sound art and soundscape art examples, including work by Gabi Losoncy, Graham Lambkin, Christopher Delaurenti and Klaysstarr (the author). In the examination of these methods and works, first-person field recording is considered as a means of capturing the proximate auditory space of the recordist as a mediated ‘point of ear’, which may be embodied, inhabited, and listened through by a subsequent listener. The article concludes with a brief summary of the discussion before some closing thoughts on recording, listening and the field, on field recording as practice-research and on potential connections with other fields in which the production of virtual environments is a key focus.

Background: The people who experience psychotic symptoms first time can be frightening for them and their close family members. It is crucial to provide family support and care to persons with first episode psychosis. Aim: To assess the needs of family members presenting to a tertiary care centre. Methods: Cross-sectional outpatient based study design was adapted to collect data from the family members of persons with first episode psychosis presented to a tertiary care centre. Total 60 family members were randomly selected for the study and assessed for the burden, attitude, ways of coping and quality of life. Results: Study results indicate the high burden; it has noted that high negative expressed emotions among family members. Negative coping styles were also found and the family members and having a poor quality of life. Conclusion: First episode of psychosis can traumatizing to the patients and their family members. Family members can experience the burden of caregiving including financial burden, can have faulty ways of coping and negative expressed emotions towards their own wards having psychosis which can lead to poor treatment outcome. Findings indicated that need to provide psychosocial intervention for family members of persons with first episode psychosis.

Full textAbstract:
Advocates of first-person-perspective-methods (FPPM) claim that any psychological concept must be grounded in a descriptive analysis (first-person-foundationalism). It is often assumed that the concept of the unconscious is incompatible with FPPM, and that its acceptance implies the rejection of first-person-foundationalism. This view is based on the following assumption: either FPPM are generally incapable of engaging with the unconscious, or FPPM are incapable of accounting for the systematic independence of the unconscious. It is the aim of this paper to show that this assumption is wrong. I argue that a) phenomenology has access to the unconscious, b) phenomenology can account for the systematic independence of the unconscious, and c) accepting the concept of the unconscious does imply the rejection of first-person-foundationalism.

Full textAbstract:
The human resource (HR) domain contains various types of privacy-sensitive textual data, such as e-mail correspondence and performance appraisal. Doing research on these documents brings several challenges, one of them anonymisation. In this paper, we evaluate the current Dutch text de-identification methods for the HR domain in four steps. First, by updating one of these methods with the latest named entity recognition (NER) models. The result is that the NER model based on the CoNLL 2002 corpus in combination with the BERTje transformer give the best combination for suppressing persons (recall 0.94) and locations (recall 0.82). For suppressing gender, DEDUCE is performing best (recall 0.53). Second NER evaluation is based on both strict de-identification of entities (a person must be suppressed as a person) and third evaluation on a loose sense of de-identification (no matter what how a person is suppressed, as long it is suppressed). In the fourth and last step a new kind of NER dataset is tested for recognising job titles in tezts.

Full textAbstract:
Personalizing assessments, predictions, and treatments of individuals is currently a defining trend in psychological research and applied fields, including personalized learning, personalized medicine, and personalized advertisement. For instance, the recent pandemic has reminded parents and educators of how challenging yet crucial it is to get the right learning task to the right student at the right time. Increasingly, psychologists and social scientists are realizing that the between- person methods that we have long relied upon to describe, predict, and treat individuals may fail to live up to these tasks (e.g., Molenaar, 2004). Consequently, there is a risk of a credibility loss, possibly similar to the one seen during the replicability crisis (Ioannides, 2005), because we have only started to understand how many of the conclusions that we tend to draw based on between-person methods are based on a misunderstanding of what these methods can tell us and what they cannot. An imminent methodological revolution will likely lead to a change of even well-established psychological theories (Barbot et al., 2020). Fortunately, methodological solutions for personalized descriptions and predictions, such as many within-person analyses, are available and undergo rapid development, although they are not yet embraced in all areas of psychology, and some come with their own limitations. This article first discusses the extent of the theory-method gap, consisting of theories about within-person patterns being studied with between-person methods in psychology, and the potential loss of trust that might follow from this theory-method gap. Second, this article addresses advantages and limitations of available within- person methods. Third, this article discusses how within-person methods may help improving the individual descriptions and predictions that are needed in many applied fields that aim for tailored individual solutions, including personalized learning and personalized medicine.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Language can influence a person’s sense of self, relationship with healthcare providers, healthcare utilization, or their own symptoms and behaviors. The person-first language movement began decades ago and has been widely adopted by multiple fields including nursing, medicine, gerontology, and social and health sciences more broadly. For research involving older adults, non-stigmatizing language has become the standard for researchers. Incarceration is widely considered a dehumanizing experience, with recent calls for attention to the language used by researchers when describing their incarcerated participants. Researchers are also identifying that individuals with multiple stigmatizing identities (e.g., incarcerated and disabled, older adult) warrant specific consideration. This study presents a secondary review of terminology from a Rapid Evidence Assessment (REA) investigating what is known about transitions of older adults in the incarceration system. The REA included PubMED, PscyhMED, and CINHAL. Nineteen articles met inclusion criteria (11 qualitative, 11 quantitative, 3 mixed methods). As a sub-analysis, articles were analyzed to consider the language that was used to describe the currently or formerly incarcerated older adults who were the subject of the studies. The majority of articles considered older adults who were no longer incarcerated. While person-first language (i.e., “formerly incarcerated person”, “reintegrating women”, “older adult on parole”) was common, stigmatizing language such as “prisoner”, “offender”, “homicide offender”, and “ex-convict” were used in the majority of the studies included in the review. Appreciation and adoption of person-first, non-stigmatizing language should transcend not only research literature surrounding older adults in the community, but also incarcerated older adults.

AbstractThis paper looks at instances of second person narration in the first journal published inAppearances of second person narration are chronologically tracked through the data and compared to biographical developments in Sylvia Plath's life; entries written in the first- and second person are compared to each other to determine linguistic differences using corpus methods; the results of the two analyses are then interpreted in the light of traditional functions attributed to second person narration in narratology, and in the light of research in narrative psychology. The paper aims to demonstrate that second person narration can project a sense of emotional depth and inner conflict as well as of emotional balance. However, the temporal orientation of a given text will influence which of these effects predominates.

This corpus-based study examines first-person verbs in Methods sections in English and Spanish. Quantitative analysis was based on rhetorical Move categories and qualitative analysis on linguistic profiles (collocation, colligation, semantic preference and semantic prosody). Both the English and Spanish subcorpora had more texts without first-person verbs than with this verb form. However, in the texts with this feature, the frequency was significantly higher in Spanish and the distribution of the rhetorical Moves associated with the first-person forms was also significantly different. The qualitative analysis revealed that in the English texts, the first-person signals the reasoned choice of a non-standard procedure (32 tokens) compared to only seven standard procedures, whereas in the Spanish texts the distribution was even (25 and 26 tokens, respectively). The results support cross-cultural differences in discourse functions that have implications for both translation and academic writing in cross-cultural contexts.

Bulgaro-Tatar epigraphic monuments of the 13th–17th centuries with graceful calligraphic Arabic writing and peculiar floral ornamentation are unique evidence of history of the Tatars. Epitaphs are not only the last tribute to a dead person, first of all they served and serve living people, referring to their memory, feelings and attitude of a person towards their ancestors, their past. Documenting these monuments is important process of preserving the heritage for posterity. Many monuments studied in the middle of the 20th century were not physically preserved or the inscriptions were completely destroyed. The question of preservation and protection of this type of cultural heritage is so acute. The study of epitaphs at the modern methodological level involves virtual museumification, 3D-modeling, cataloging, deciphering and reading, as well as assessing the risks of their destruction using modern, relevant approaches to study of historical and cultural heritage. In this study, surveys of epigraphic monuments were carried out for the first time at modern level. By high-precision photogrammetric surveys and 3D-modeling, it was possible to obtain digital copies of objects, which makes it possible to determine changes in shape, restore the shape of lost objects using archival data. To organizing convenient access to spatial information for many users, the results of research are presented on a thematic web resource and a geoportal. The main functionality of such web GIS, in addition to directly displaying interactive spatial information, is the ability to make user queries, measure objects and provide access to related multimedia materials.

Introduction:Uncontrolled bleeding is a leading cause of preventable death in trauma. The “Stop the Bleed” campaign has trained over 130,000 lay people in the US to act to control bleeding. Current hemorrhage control courses, the most well-known being the American College of Surgeon’s Basic Bleeding Control (ACS B-con) course, require in-person training. Scaling this course nationwide is time and resource intensive. Furthermore, groups have advocated that young people, who are disproportionately affected by physical trauma, be universally trained in hemorrhage control.Aim:Compare the effectiveness of teaching the ACS B-con course to high school (HS) students utilizing three different delivery mechanisms: in-person live, video-recorded, and virtual-live training.Methods:432 students (aged 15-18) will be recruited from two HS settings: 300 from a local HS and 132 from a national online HS platform. Local HS students will be randomized into two arms: a control arm (in-person live training) and virtual training through a pre-recorded lecture. Online HS students will undergo virtual-live training. The primary outcome is correct tourniquet application following training. Secondary outcomes are the acquisition of personal resilience-associated traits using a validated instrument, motivation for further training, and perception of the importance of live training. Tourniquet application data will be assessed using a non-inferiority design using two pairwise comparisons of the intervention arms to the control (in-person). Pre- to post-training survey data will be assessed using paired univariates tests. Sub-analysis of the impact of demographic variables on these relationships will be assessed.Discussion:In addition to integration of cardiopulmonary resuscitation courses into HS curricula, there is momentum to develop effective programs to educate HS students to provide care for the injured and control bleeding before first responders arrive. This trial will help determine the most effective delivery mechanism to teach a hemorrhage control course to HS students at scale.

Full textAbstract:
This study focuses on the person deixis used by James Corden in his utterances on the talk show The Late Late Show. The theory used in classifying the types of deixis and the category of person deixis found in this study is based on Levinson's (1983) deixis theory. Based on observations, person deixis is the most dominant type of deixis found in James Corden's speech on this talk show. The use of the type of person deixis used by James Corden is absolutely influenced by certain factors. Therefore, this study aims to describe how James Corden uses each category of person deixis and the factors that influence its use in talk shows. This research is limited to using only one episode of The Late Late Show and only examines the person deixis used by James Cordon. This qualitative study used observation methods for data analysis. There are 152 person deixis data used by James Corden in this talk show, which belong to the following categories of person deixis: singular first person deixis, plural first person deixis, singular second person deixis, plural second person deixis, singular third person deixis, and plural third person deixis. In addition, there are factors that influence the use of person deixis expressions, namely topics, situations, power, closeness and formality, and the speaker's goals.

It is found that Vietnamese tend to use first person subject "I" more frequently than the third person subject when they tell stories. In addition, the higher proficiency level of Japanese they gain, the more constantly they use first person subject. This finding is important to consider for more appropriate and practical methods to help students develop skills in choosing subjects which are close to native speakers

Full textAbstract:
We discuss two methods to detect the presence and location of a person in an acoustically small-scale room and compare the performances for a simulated person in distances between 1 and 2 m. The first method is Direct Intersection, which determines a coordinate point based on the intersection of spheroids defined by observed distances of high-intensity reverberations. The second method, Sonogram analysis, overlays all channels’ room impulse responses to generate an intensity map for the observed environment. We demonstrate that the former method has lower computational complexity that almost halves the execution time in the best observed case, but about 7 times slower in the worst case compared to the Sonogram method while using 2.4 times less memory. Both approaches yield similar mean absolute localization errors between 0.3 and 0.9 m. The Direct Intersection method performs more precise in the best case, while the Sonogram method performs more robustly.

SynopsisIn [13], Nikaido and Isoda generalised von Neumann's symmetrisation method for matrix games. They showed that N-person noncooperative games can be treated by a minimax method.We apply this method to N-person differential games. Lukes and Russell [11] first studied N-person nonzero sum linear quadratic games in 1971. Here we have reproduced and strengthened their results. The existence and uniqueness of equilibria are completely determined by the invertibility of the decision operator, and the nonuniqueness of equilibrium strategies is only up to a finite dimensional subspace of the space of all admissible strategies.In the constrained case, we have established an existence result for games with a much weaker convexity assumption subject to compact convex constraints. We have also derived certain results for games with noncompact constraints. Several examples of quadratic and non-quadratic games are given to illustrate the theorem.Numerical computations are also possible and are given in the sequel [3].

Over the years there has been tremendous development in aerospace engineering. The designs, materials, technologies, and everything that are utilized while creating an aircraft have evolved, and they continue to evolve today with the developments in a variety of fields from nanotechnology to material science. Aerospace engineering related to space started in the late 50s, with the start of the “Space Race” between the U.S.S.R. and the USA. In 1957, U.S.S.R. sent the very first spacecraft to Space, Sputnik 1. Following the space race, Yuri Gagarin traveled to space in Vostok 1, establishing himself to be the first person in space. Afterwards, Neil Armstrong traveled to the Moon and there have been a huge amount of journeys to space. The technology evolved according to these journeys, focusing on how to improve and make them more sustainable. The materials, overall structure, and geometry all evolved leading to today’s technological advancements. Nasa and SpaceX are now the leading companies in aerospace engineering. The technology and conditions have over the years improved so much that now Blue Origin is considering civilian space travel.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to develop a novel region-based convolutional neural networks (R-CNN) approach that is more efficient while at least as accurate as existing R-CNN methods. In this way, the proposed method, namely R2-CNN, provides a more powerful tool for pedestrian extraction for person re-identification, which involve a huge number of images and pedestrian needs to be extracted efficiently to meet the real-time requirement. Design/methodology/approach The proposed R2-CNN is tested on two types of data sets. The first one the USC Pedestrian Detection data set, which consists of three sub-sets USC-A, UCS-B and USC-C, with respect to their characteristics. This data set is used to test the performance of R2-CNN in the pedestrian extraction task. The speed and performance of the investigated algorithms were collected. The second data set is the PASCAL VOC 2007 data set, which is a common benchmark data set for object detection. This data set was used to analyze characteristics of R2-CNN in the case of general object detection task. Findings This study proposes a novel R-CNN method that is both more efficient and more accurate than existing methods. The method, when used as an object detector, would facilitate the data preprocessing stage of person re-identification. Originality/value The study proposes a novel approach for object detection, which shows advantages in both efficiency and accuracy for pedestrian detection task. It contributes to both data preprocessing for person re-identification and the research on deep learning.
