Full textAbstract:
In handheld AR, users have only a small screen to see the augmented scene, making decisions about scene layout and rendering techniques crucial. Traditional device-perspective rendering (DPR) uses the device camera's full field of view, enabling fast scene exploration, but ignoring what the user sees around the device screen. In contrast, user-perspective rendering (UPR) emulates the feeling of looking through the device like a glass pane, which enhances depth perception, but severely limits the field of view in which virtual objects are displayed, impeding scene exploration and search. We introduce the notion of User-Aware Rendering. By following the principles of UPR, but pretending the device is larger than it actually is, it combines the strengths of UPR and DPR. We present two studies showing that User-Aware AR imitating a 50% larger device successfully achieves both enhanced depth perception and fast scene exploration in typical search and selection tasks.

Full textAbstract:
This article offers a close reading of Dennis Cooper's 1989 cult novel Closer. Despite focusing on the experiences of gay males, I argue that Closer transcends identity politics by problematizing the status and treatment of the other in a contemporary Western setting. In doing so, the novel explores the theme of objectification from both a superficial and ontological perspective: Superficially, the objectification of the protagonist George Miles seems to mirror the way that women are objectified under patriarchy, however, from an ontological perspective, Closer's symbolism suggests a much deeper search for meaning that precipitates from its character's ontological uncertainties. I argue that Closer engages the reader in this search by making them aware of their own gaze, thus incriminating them in a figurative search for meaning within the textualized body.

Graph-structured data is ubiquitous throughout the natural and social sciences, ranging from complex drug molecules to artificial neural networks. Evaluating their functional properties, e.g., drug effectiveness and prediction accuracy, is usually costly in terms of time, money, energy, or environment, becoming a bottleneck for the graph generation task. In this work, from the perspective of saving cost, we propose a novel Cost-Aware Graph Generation (CAGG) framework to generate graphs with optimal properties at as low cost as possible. By introducing a robust Bayesian graph neural network as the surrogate model and a goal-oriented training scheme for the generation model, the CAGG can approach the real expensive evaluation function and generate search space close to the optimal property, to avoid unnecessary evaluations. Intensive experiments conducted on two challenging real-world applications, including molecular discovery and neural architecture search, demonstrate its effectiveness and applicability. The results show that it can generate the optimal graphs and reduce the evaluation costs significantly compared to the state-of-the-art.

Full textAbstract:
This paper brings out the Womanist perspective in Aidoo’s No Sweetness Here and Other Stories. The term ‘Womanism' encapsulates the varied dynamics of the black woman's literary experience as it distinguishes itself from the feminism of the White Woman. The predicament of women in postcolonial Ghana is the focus of Aidoo’s attention. Aidoo’s vision is historical, also. In her short stories, she explores the challenges faced by women in post-independence Ghana. In the period of transition, the African woman's identity is brought into conflict with traditions and cultural modernization. Aidoo’s predominant concern is to reflect on women’s increasing alienation in contemporary African society with the help of tradition and modernity. In Aidoo’s vision, Africa’s progress is inseparable from the social, economic,political and psychological liberation of women. No Sweetness Here and Other Stories attempts to make African women aware of their agency, which is the first step towards their liberation.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractInformation search is key to making decision from experience: exploration permits people to learn about the statistical properties of choice options and thus to become aware of rare but potentially momentous decision consequences. This registered report investigates whether and how people differ when making decisions from experience in isolation versus under competitive pressure, which may have important implications for choice performance in different types of choice environments: in “kind” environments without any rare and extreme events, frugal search is sufficient to identify advantageous options. Conversely, in “wicked” environments with skewed outcome distributions, rare but important events will tend to be missed in frugal search. One theoretical view is that competitive pressure encourages efficiency and may thereby boost adaptive search in different environments. An alternative and more pessimistic view is that competitive pressure triggers agency-related concerns, leading to minimal search irrespective of the choice environment, and hence to inferior choice performance. Using a sampling game, the present study (N = 277) found that solitary search was not adaptive to different choice environments (M = 14 samples), leading to a high choice performance in a kind and in a moderately wicked environment, but somewhat lower performance in an extremely wicked environment. Competitive pressure substantially reduced search irrespective of the choice environment (M = 4 samples), thus negatively affecting overall choice performance. Yet, from the perspective of a cost-benefit framework, frugal search may be efficient under competitive pressure. In sum, this report extends research on decisions from experience by adopting an ecological perspective (i.e., systematically varying different choice environments) and by introducing a cost-benefit framework to evaluate solitary and competitive search — with the latter constituting a challenging problem for people in an increasingly connected world.

Full textAbstract:
Alice Walker places herself at the centre of the literary world and writes in search of wholeness, finding action in spite of dependence. Alike Walker through her womanist perspective offers to the women their own women-self, their beauty, physical and sexual strength, motherhood, sisterhood, wife-hood etc. At the same time she has a strong feeling that the women are to be educated, and made aware of the need to recover from psychological and mental traumas of inferiority. This is possible only if their wholeness and roundness are restored. She precisely aims at achieving this end.

Full textAbstract:
Weakly supervised person search aims to detect and match individuals using only bounding box annotations jointly. The existing methods mainly alternate between the clustering stage and the training stage, where the former is responsible for instance level label allocation tasks and the latter needs to undertake proposal level label allocation tasks. In the clustering phase, the conventional use of the DBSCAN algorithm for clustering pedestrian instance features often neglects key contextual information such as scene context and relative positioning of individuals. During the training phase, the Region Proposal Network assigns labels based on the MaxIoU, which tends to produce locally ambiguous labels. Finally, the proposals updated to the memory bank with extensive background information tend to interfere with the task of pseudo-label generation. To address these issues, this paper proposes an Optimizing Label Assignment (OLA) for weakly supervised person search. Firstly, in the clustering phase, Context Aware Clustering is introduced to integrate contextual information and constraints, enhancing the accuracy of clustering. Secondly, in the training phase, we adopt Prototype Matching based on Optimal Transport theory to optimize label distribution from a global perspective. Furthermore, we propose Dual Memory Bank Enhancement that effectively enhances the accuracy of label assignment. Extensive experiments conducted on the CUHK-SYSU and PRW datasets demonstrate that our method achieves state-of-the-art performance in weakly supervised person search.

Full textAbstract:
Self-esteem is a concept developed from the personal experiences of a person in society, relative to his/her own assessment. It expresses an attitude of approval, or disapproval, and indicates to what extent the person believes to be capable, meaningful, dignified, and successful in relation to his/her abilities, skills, social relationships and physical appearance, for example. Some studies indicate technology has the potential to provide experiences that can affect the users’ psychological states, including their self-esteem. This work contributes with a systematic literature review, aiming at investigating technological applications designed to influence self-esteem. Through automatic and manual search, we identified 3,668 papers potentially addressing the subject, and 7 of them were selected for a thorough analysis based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. In this paper we organized and detailed the results we raised through the Semiotic Framework (Semiotic Ladder) perspective. The results highlight what types of systems are used to affect/impact self-esteem, how technology has been used, the strategies for supporting this purpose, and the aspects of self-esteem addressed. Yet, we analyzed what values (personal, social, and technical) these applications considered. This work relates self-esteem, values, technological issues, and strategies to influence self-esteem, and points out limitations and open challenges to further explore.

Full textAbstract:
Accelerating digitalization actualizes the importance of secondary science education in developing students’ digital abilities, such as retrieving and appraising scientific information online. However, there is little research and policy guidance on the purposes and challenges of teaching digital abilities in science classrooms. This article reports on a mixed-methods study that explored how upper secondary school students in Sweden reasoned about their digital abilities when searching for scientific information online. The results reveal three key themes: the role of scientific terminology in improving search accuracy, as students noted how precise terms yielded more credible results; the need for deliberate search strategies, including using questions or keywords depending on the context; and, the impact of selective exposure, as students became aware of how personalized results could reinforce existing beliefs and limit perspective diversity. Based on these insights, we introduce the concept of ‘digital versatility’ and outline a model, Digital Versatility in Online Searching (DVOS), that integrates essential digital abilities (source literacy, information abilities, and search abilities) with scientific subject knowledge. The DVOS model provides guidance for teachers in instructional planning and offers a basis for future research on digital abilities in science education.

Full textAbstract:
Personalized search tailors document ranking lists for each individual user based on her interests and query intent to better satisfy the user’s information need. Many personalized search models have been proposed. They first build a user interest profile from the user’s search history, and then re-rank the documents based on the personalized matching scores between the created profile and candidate documents. In this article, we attempt to solve the personalized search problem from an alternative perspective of clarifying the user’s intention of the current query. We know that there are many ambiguous words in natural language such as “Apple.” People with different knowledge backgrounds and interests have personalized understandings of these words. Therefore, we propose a personalized search model with personal word embeddings for each individual user that mainly contain the word meanings that the user already knows and can reflect the user interests. To learn great personal word embeddings, we design a pre-training model that captures both the textual information of the query log and the information about user interests contained in the click-through data represented as a graph structure. With personal word embeddings, we obtain the personalized word and context-aware representations of the query and documents. Furthermore, we also employ the current session as the short-term search context to dynamically disambiguate the current query. Finally, we use a matching model to calculate the matching score between the personalized query and document representations for ranking. Experimental results on two large-scale query logs show that our designed model significantly outperforms state-of-the-art personalization models.

Full textAbstract:
Building click-through rate (CTR) and conversion rate (CVR) prediction models for cross-border e-commerce search requires modeling the correlations among multi-domains. Existing multi-domain methods would suffer severely from poor scalability and low efficiency when number of domains increases. To this end, we propose a Domain-Aware Multi-view mOdel (DAMO), which is domain-number-invariant, to effectively leverage cross-domain relations from a multi-view perspective. Specifically, instead of working in the original feature space defined by different domains, DAMO maps everything to a new low-rank multi-view space. To achieve this, DAMO firstly extracts multi-domain features in an explicit feature-interactive manner. These features are parsed to a multi-view extractor to obtain view-invariant and view-specific features. Then a multi-view predictor inputs these two sets of features and outputs view-based predictions. To enforce view-awareness in the predictor, we further propose a lightweight view-attention estimator to dynamically learn the optimal view-specific weights w.r.t. a view-guided loss. Extensive experiments on public and industrial datasets show that compared with state-of-the-art models, our DAMO achieves better performance with lower storage and computational costs. In addition, deploying DAMO to a large-scale cross-border e-commence platform leads to 1.21%, 1.76%, and 1.66% improvements over the existing CGC-based model in the online AB-testing experiment in terms of CTR, CVR, and Gross Merchandises Value, respectively.

Full textAbstract:
Climate change is emerging as an issue of progressive attention, and therefore awareness, in societies. In this work, the problem is addressed from a generational perspective in Spanish society and is carried out from the approaches of awareness, human action, and self-responsibility. All this from the search of the subjective well-being and the citizens’ happiness, as one of the bases of sustainable development initiatives. With data from the European Social Survey R8, from EUROSTAT, we work in two phases: (1) descriptive and inferential on possible associations of the items with the variable Age, and (2) calculation of probabilities between groups through logistic regression. The results confirm a general awareness, but with apparent statistical differences between age groups. In general, the youngest are the most aware, blame human activity most intensely, are the most concerned, and are the most willing to act. And it is the older people who are less aware of all these issues. Based on this finding, and from the approach mentioned above, it is recommended that leaders, both in the macroeconomic and microeconomic sectors, develop initiatives that sensitize and encourage older age groups.

Full textAbstract:
Technology mapping is an essential process in the Electronic Design Automation (EDA) flow which aims to find an optimal implementation of a logic network from a technology library. In application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) designs, the non-linear delay behaviors of cells in the library essentially guide the search direction of technology mappers. Existing methods for cell delay estimation, however, rely on approximate simplifications that significantly compromise accuracy, thereby limiting the achievement of better Quality-of-Result (QoR). To address this challenge, we propose formulating cell delay estimation as a regression learning task by incorporating multiple perspective features, such as the structure of logic networks and non-linear cell delays, to guide the mapper search. We design a learning model that incorporates a customized attention mechanism to be aware of the pin delay and jointly learns the hierarchy between the logic network and library through a Neural Tensor Network, with the help of proposed parameterizable strategies to generate learning labels. Experimental results show that (i) our proposed method noticeably improves area by 9.3% and delay by 1.5%, and (ii) improves area by 12.0% for delay-oriented mapping, compared with the well-known mapper.

Full textAbstract:
This study aims at understanding the channels through which the students have become aware, the channels which they used to search for information on the schools and the key factor that pushed them to apply for a given school. Through a primary data research with n=788 respondents which are currently enrolled in VET across eight schools in Kosovo, the study has identified a critical importance of the word-of-mouth through family & relatives and friends on generating awareness for a given school and to share information on the school offering. As critical elements to take the decision to apply for the school has been considered the applicants visit directly to the school to get informed more on the offering and the desire to get equipped with the given qualification the school offers. It is important to note the impact that parents have across all the levels from brand awareness development to information search and decision making. The study provides pragmatic recommendations to school management on better optimizing their marketing efforts from a communication channel perspective, such as the importance of the open-days events of school and the usage of the social media channels (especially Facebook) to communicate their offering.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to critically analyze the influence of the algorithm used on scholarly search engines (Garfield’s algorithm) and propose metrics to improve it so that science could be based on a more democratic way. Design/methodology/approach This paper used a snow-ball approach to collect data that allowed identifying the history and the logic behind the Garfield’s algorithm. It follows on excerpting the foundation of existing algorithm and databases of major scholarly search engine. It concluded proposing new metrics so as to surpass restraints and to democratize the scientific discourse. Findings This paper finds that the studied algorithm currently biases the scientific discourse toward a narrow perspective, while it should take into consideration several researchers’ characteristics. It proposes the substitution of the h-index by the number of times the scholar’s most cited work has been cited. Finally, it proposes that works in languages different than English should be included. Research limitations/implications The broad comprehension of any phenomena should be based on multiple perspectives; therefore, the inclusion of diverse metrics will extend the scientific discourse. Practical implications The improvement of the existing algorithm will increase the chances of contact among different cultures, which stimulate rapid progress on the development of knowledge. Originality/value The value of this paper resides in demonstrating that the algorithm used in scholarly search engines biases the development of science. If updated as proposed here, science will be unbiased and bias aware.

Full textAbstract:
Contemporary art is gradually diversifying, and the aesthetics of artists have changed and progressed together with the times. Some brush painters, while inheriting the essence of tradition, continue to summarize and search for a painting language in line with the atmosphere of the times, gradually shifting their perspective to a separate, tiny “corner” of life, recording the painter’s own subtle emotional fluctuations through such “tiny” scenes. The approach models services through a context-aware service model and establishes flexible driving relationships between IoT data and services through context and scenario concepts. Moreover, it reduces the amount of business data to be processed by the system through contextual events. The process of the approach for service development is described, and relevant context-aware service development tools are introduced. Finally, the feasibility of the approach proposed in this article is illustrated by a service development example. An event-triggered sensor node clustering algorithm based on beamforming data transmission technology is proposed, which can improve network energy efficiency and clustering success rate. Meanwhile, a clustering algorithm based on the energy consumption rate of sensor nodes is designed to optimize the task allocation and scheduling of mobile node access, reduce the node charging delay, and enable the sensor nodes in the network to get energy replenishment in a timely and reasonable manner according to their own energy consumption rate demand.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to critically explore hybrid organisations in health care. It examines the broad literature on hybrids focusing on issues of perspective, definition, sub-type and level. It then presents the results of the literature review of hybrid health care organisations, exploring which organisations have been viewed as hybrids, and then examining studies in more detail with respect to the research questions. Design/methodology/approach It critically explores the literature on hybrid organisations in health care through a structured search. Findings It is found that a wide variety of hybrid forms exist, but not clear what they combine or how they combine it. However, the level of depth from some of these studies is rather limited, with little consensus on definition, and relatively few drawing on any explicit conceptual perspective. It seems that the wider hybridity literatures have limited influence of studies of hybrid health care organisations. Originality/value As far as the authors are aware, this paper is the first attempt to critically review the literature on hybrid organisations in health care. It is concluded that it is difficult to define and explain hybrid health care organisations. Health care hybrids appear to be chameleons as they appear to be able to change their form to different observers.

Translation goes through other fields and goes beyond the textual level. The activity of translating brings aspects that permeate cognitive, social, and cultural aspects. In this article, we apply sociology to Translation Studies by adopting a Bourdieu-based approach to show the structure and the interactions among social agents in the field of translation and in the fields where technical-specialized translators find themselves when developing a translation project. From a practical experience of a professional translator with the translation of a web-based educational platform into Portuguese, we show how important it is for translators to be aware of the structure, norms, and interactions in that specific field so they can draw up their strategies and choices to succeed in their search for recognition and symbolic capital. First, we review key concepts of Bourdieu’s theory of practice and then we advance in the discussion about the dynamics among the agents engaged in the translation project and language implications from a sociological perspective.

Full textAbstract:
Low-rank compression is an important model compression strategy for obtaining compact neural network models. In general, because the rank values directly determine the model complexity and model accuracy, proper selection of layer-wise rank is very critical and desired. To date, though many low-rank compression approaches, either selecting the ranks in a manual or automatic way, have been proposed, they suffer from costly manual trials or unsatisfied compression performance. In addition, all of the existing works are not designed in a hardware-aware way, limiting the practical performance of the compressed models on real-world hardware platforms. To address these challenges, in this paper we propose HALOC, a hardware-aware automatic low-rank compression framework. By interpreting automatic rank selection from an architecture search perspective, we develop an end-to-end solution to determine the suitable layer-wise ranks in a differentiable and hardware-aware way. We further propose design principles and mitigation strategy to efficiently explore the rank space and reduce the potential interference problem. Experimental results on different datasets and hardware platforms demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed approach. On CIFAR-10 dataset, HALOC enables 0.07% and 0.38% accuracy increase over the uncompressed ResNet-20 and VGG-16 models with 72.20% and 86.44% fewer FLOPs, respectively. On ImageNet dataset, HALOC achieves 0.9% higher top-1 accuracy than the original ResNet-18 model with 66.16% fewer FLOPs. HALOC also shows 0.66% higher top-1 accuracy increase than the state-of-the-art automatic low-rank compression solution with fewer computational and memory costs. In addition, HALOC demonstrates the practical speedups on different hardware platforms, verified by the measurement results on desktop GPU, embedded GPU and ASIC accelerator.

Full textAbstract:
Social media has become an important platform in health education. It allows individuals to connect and share information about health. However, no studies have systematically explored the role of social media as a virtual public space in health education. This systematic review aims to explore the role of social media as a virtual public sphere in health education, from the perspective of Habermas' public sphere theory. The review was conducted by searching for research articles published in reputable scientific journals between 2010 and 2023. The method used to write this article is a systematic literature review (SLR). The systematic literature review method used in this research is the PRISMA method. Article search, article extraction, and article classification using the Watase UAKE application. The article search was conducted online using two (2) database sources, namely Scopus (Q1-Q4) and Semantic Scholar. The review showed that social media has the potential to be an effective virtual public sphere in health education. This platform can be used to. Increase awareness and understanding of health Provide information and support for individuals in need, strengthen community participation in health education, However, social media also has some limitations in supporting health education. These limitations include: Disinformation and misinformation, Polarization of opinion Conflict of interest. In this review concludes that social media can be a valuable tool for health education. However, it is important to be aware of its limitations and take steps to overcome them.

Full textAbstract:
A 46% rate of unintended pregnancies among adolescents in Africa is a glaring notification of the barriers to contraception. There is little documentation of the knowledge and attitude towards contraceptive use among adolescents in Africa especially from systematic review perspective, which purposed this study. An E-literature search of the studies on the topic was conducted through PubMed, and Google Scholar, considering a period between January 2015 to August 2021. The search strategy used; “knowledge and attitude towards contraceptive use among adolescents in Africa”, which was sorted by date. The search resulted in 14,468 journal articles: 14,300 from Google Scholar, and 168 from PubMed but only 27 studies qualified for inclusion. Results indicate inadequate knowledge of contraception but this varies by age, level of education, marital status and geographical distribution. The majority of adolescents are aware of emergency contraception and traditional methods such as abstinence, lactational amenorrhea, and coïtus interruptus. Even with this knowledge, a larger proportion of adolescents do not use contraception due to limited access, misinformation on side effects and the negative attitude shaped by religious and socio-cultural beliefs and attitude of health care providers to them. Adolescent boys have more knowledge of contraception than the adolescent girls do but their use of contraceptives is not well documented. The low level of knowledge and negative attitude limits the use of these services and could be addressed by a well-informed approach on sexuality literacy and contraception that involves not only adolescents but also parents, the community and health care providers.

The urgent need to deal with specific environmental changes globally has made us aware of the importance of environmental literacy skills to achieve new relationships with the environment. This study examines and discusses the development of prospective teachers' environmental literacy. It also seeks to link the findings of the educational environment and the environmental impact of pre-service teacher environmental literacy education to the SLR approach. The literature search was conducted online in the Scopus-indexed database with “environmental literacy” and “pre-service teacher” assisted with Publish or Perish software. Then, the search results found 48 articles, followed by a procedure that included Identification, Screening, Eligibility, and Inclusion for each article. Fourteen articles fit the category, so an in-depth analysis was carried out regarding the application of environmental literacy to the prospective teacher education curriculum. The findings show prospective teachers are primarily concerned with environmental issues; however, this emotional reasoning or treatment perspective does not always translate into engaging behaviors or actions. The complexity of environmental problems makes it difficult for prospective teachers to identify how to be involved in this environmental action. Environmental learning to develop environmental literacy can be applied to the curriculum of prospective teachers. Prospective teachers have enormous potential to influence, providing examples and being role models for students in protecting the surrounding environment.

Objective: The objective of the research was to analyze sustainability and social development, in the search to determine the relationship between the constructs: Ecological Affect (EA), Ecological Concern (EC) and Ecological Knowledge (EK); And green purchasing behavior (GPB) in consumers.Method: It was a quantitative descriptive study in a sample of 1,550 (valid 96%) consumers chosen according to the criterion of convenience (men and women between 21 and 55 years), in Mexico. With the using the Likert scale. Regarding the measurement of dependent and independent variables, he used the various subscales that make up the revised scale of attitudes and environmental knowledge (EAKS).Originality / Relevance: The studies on ecological behavior in Mexico is relatively new, there are few works related to the purchase of environmental products from the perspective of ecological purchasing behavior.Results: The consumer in Mexico presents a positive attitude toward the purchase of organic products and is even willing to stop buying those companies that pollute. The stakeholders (Society, Government, Company and universities) stimulate consumption in those individuals who are really committed to the environment, being aware of the economic change, for a change of health.Theoretical / methodological contributions: This work contributes to the literature of organic consumption behavior in Mexico, little explored until now.Social contributions / for a gesture: A new approach is given to the Maloney Scale, from a sustainable marketing perspective.

Full textAbstract:
From an intercultural perspective, this research seeks to contribute to discussions about the continued presence of the Charrúa Nation People in Entre Ríos during the 20th and 21st centuries in the field of humanities and social sciences. An interdisciplinary documentary survey is carried out in universities, from an interdisciplinary perspective, including philosophy, anthropology, sociology, ethics, law, history, semiotics and social work, as well as interviews with researchers on indigenous peoples. The search in library and theses catalogues of UADER has yielded limited results, with little academic production identified. The researchers consulted in Argentina and Uruguay have referred to works on the Charrúa Nation People in Uruguay, but none are aware of research related to Entre Ríos, Argentina.It is preliminarily concluded that the invisibilization or denial of the existence of the Charrúa people reinforces a colonialist and Eurocentric vision of the province, which has lasted from the colonial era to the present. This hegemonic view denies the existence of Charrúa identities and other indigenous peoples, both in symbolic and material aspects, evidenced in the lack of policies for the restitution of territories, no implementation of Bilingual Intercultural Education and intercultural health and absence of prior consultations on policies with environmental and cultural impact, among others. There is a paucity of historical and archaeological knowledge production on this subject, with only one study identified so far

Full textAbstract:
Background: The outcome of aesthetic surgical or medical interventions is typically reported from the patient’s or surgeon’s perspective. However, facial cosmetic interventions have the potential to influence perceived personality traits. How these interventions affect personality perception remains largely underappreciated. Facial inferences are a third perspective still missing from the plastic surgery literature. Methods: A PICO (patient, population or problem; intervention; comparison, outcome) literature search was conducted across MEDLINE, PubMed, and Embase databases. Results: Facial rejuvenation procedures in women confer a large societal benefit. Patients experience enhanced perceived femininity, attractiveness, social skills, and likeability. In men, the procedures are not as gender-enhancing, but some may experience improvements in perceived attractiveness, likeability, social skills, and trustworthiness. Clear improvement in sociability, capability, trustworthiness, attractiveness, and health is observed after blepharoplasty and brow lift in both sexes. In female patients, rhinoplasty has favorable changes in femininity and in both the warmth and competence domains. It does not, however, significantly change the perception of masculinity in male patients. Conclusions: Insight into how aesthetic interventions change observers’ perception provides an additional dimension to our understanding about their true benefits as perceived by society. Patients must be made aware that as much as it is essential for them to be satisfied with their appearance, how they are judged and perceived by others is just as important.

Full textAbstract:
Objectives Depressive disorders are common in the primary care setting. Despite its high prevalence, depression treatment in primary care is less guideline-oriented compared to specialized settings, which often makes it less efficient. Current research has focused on explanations on the practitioner’s side but has neglected the patient’s perspective and its effect on treatment largely. Methods We conducted a scoping review on the electronic databases Medline and Psycinfo. Eligible publications contained information of the patients’ perspective on depression treatment in primary care in OECD member states. Publications until August 2nd 2023 were considered. Results After the removal of duplicates, the search yielded 14.059 articles, of which 232 were included. Current literature focuses on behavioral and obvious measures like satisfaction, and on patient-sided barriers and facilitators to adherence. Other treatment-related behaviors are less researched. Patients with undiagnosed depression often report exclusively or mainly physical symptoms in general practice. Conclusion This review provides a comprehensive framework for the concept. Research on barriers and facilitators to depression treatment in primary care is still inconclusive. Educating patients and addressing stigmatizing beliefs are promising targets to promote the seeking out, initiation of, and adherence to treatment. Being aware of a hidden depression when somatic symptoms are present, can help to detect more cases. Registration This review is registered via OSF (https://osf.io/p9rnc).

Full textAbstract:
Only in the second half of the twentieth century, Linguistics started adopting a functionalist paradigm. Halliday is a crucial figure of this time. By the 1970s, scholars felt the need to analyse language not just in terms of its structure, but also the underlying ideology that each utterance carries. Form here, the ‘critical’ perspective to language analysis got introduced. A critical study assumes that nothing said is neutral; it is always said from a particular point of view along with some aims. This claim is in line with Halliday’s argument that language is socially anchored. Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) got formalized in 1991. Since language is an indispensable part of society and represents as well as constructs the society, it is only essential that language is critically studied. People using language should be well aware of the ways it can be (mis)used and its speakers be mentally influenced. With this aim of creating awareness, that is, demythlogising society, CDA seeks to read between the lines of a discourse and search for the representative attitudes and the underlying ideologies.

Pedestrian re-identification (re-ID) is always a research hotspot in the intelligent video surveillance community, which has been applied in various fields such as social security and criminal investigation. Though much effort has been devoted to boosting the accuracy and speed, person re-ID still faces numerous challenges and difficulties, including low-quality captured images, inconsistent camera angles, varied pedestrian postures, significant changes in background environments, and issues related to lighting and occlusion. This paper aims to summarize the recent studies of pedestrian re-ID to motivate the subsequent development. Specifically, this paper focuses on the technological development, application needs, and challenges of person re-ID from the aspects of occluded pedestrian re-ID, unsupervised person re-ID, virtual data generation, pose-aware person re-ID, and pedestrian search. It also identifies existing problems and offers a perspective on the future trends. The hope is that through the study of these methods, an understanding of the current development directions in person re-ID can be achieved and researchers can be provided with a reference.

To deconstruct a map, said Brian Harley, it is necessary to read between the lines and to place the cartographic facts within a specific cultural perspective. He used the ideas of literary critics to make historians of cartography aware that there is more to maps than initially meets the eye and that ‘facts’ are rarely what they first appear to be. By viewing a map as a product of a particular society, one can begin to understand why a map was made in the way it was, how it was used and valued, and its role in representing and transforming contemporary attitudes and perspectives. To search for the wider meaning of local maps, it is usually necessary to make inferences based on research into their backgrounds; one rarely finds documents giving explicit directions on how, and why, a map was to be drawn and decorated. If, as in many past studies in the history of cartography, maps are taken at face value, they can leave many of their secrets unrevealed and, indeed, can easily be misinterpreted.

Abstract Sponsorship as a marketing communications tool is well adopted in South Africa across various areas such as sports and entertainment. Although world markets have experienced economic turmoil in the last few years, the sponsorship market may be considered to be thriving as companies use this marketing communication tool as a vehicle to create and maintain relationships. The purpose of this study was to explore which sponsors of the South African National Rugby team are sports consumers aware of as a result of the sponsorship. Literature states that awareness also influences the judgments about brands in the consideration set, even without any brand associations in the consumer’s mind. In low involvement decision; where consumers do not need to search extensively for information in order to make a decision; minimal brand awareness levels may be enough to convince the consumer to make their final choice. The study is exploratory in nature however provides a South African perspective on how effective the sponsorship of the Springbok is with regards to creating awareness of the sponsors among sports consumers. The study made use of a qualitative approach whereby primary data was collected by means of focus groups and naïve sketches. Data collected was analyzed by means of content analysis. The findings suggest that participants were predominantly aware of the key sponsors of the Springboks; these were sponsors who had their branding on the Springbok jersey worn during rugby matches. The factors that participants mentioned to contribute to their awareness of the sponsors were the branding on the Springbok playing jersey as well as television adverts along with other promotional tools. This study urges sponsors to not only rely on the sponsorship initiative to create awareness but rather leverage the sponsorship with tools that are relevant to their target audience. This study contributes to sponsorship literature relating to the effectiveness of sponsorship; particularly from a South African perspective.

Full textAbstract:
Aim. To describe and synthesize aspects of knowledge, attitudes, and practice regarding pharmacovigilance and adverse drug reaction (ADR) reporting and to explore associated barriers from a nurse perspective. Methods. A systematic review was conducted. Electronic databases including MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Knowledge from January 2010 to October 2020 were searched. Original observational studies that were written in English and which focused on nurses’ knowledge, attitudes, practice, and perceived barriers regarding pharmacovigilance and ADR reporting in various healthcare settings were included. Results. Twenty-three studies published in English from 2010 to 2020 were retrieved during the search process. Overall, in the knowledge domain, the median percentages of nurses who were aware of the definitions of ADRs were 74.1%, while only 26.3% were aware of the adverse drug reaction reporting form. In the attitude domain, 84.6% of nurses believed ADR reporting to be important for patient/medicine safety and 37.1% had a fear of legal liability following ADR reporting. Although 67.1% of nurses encountered ADRs during their professional life, only 21.2% had a history of ADR reporting. In addition, lack of knowledge/training (median: 47.1%) was identified as the most common barrier in ADR reporting from a nursing viewpoint. Conclusion. Despite positive nurse attitudes, knowledge and practice in relation to pharmacovigilance activities and ADR reporting did not occur regularly or often. Improving nurses’ knowledge through in-service training and degree-level education and addressing the main barriers of ADR reporting may help to achieve an improved level of reporting.

Full textAbstract:
With the increasing popularity and social influence of information retrieval (IR) systems, various studies have raised concerns on the presence of bias in IR and the social responsibilities of IR systems. Techniques for addressing these issues can be classified into pre-processing , in-processing and post-processing. Pre-processing reduces bias in the data that is fed into machine learning models. In-processing encodes fairness constraints as a part of the objective function or learning process. Post-processing operates as a top layer over the trained model to reduce the presentation bias exposed to users. This dissertation explored ways to bring the pre-processing and post-processing approaches, together with the fairness-aware evaluation metrics, into a unified framework as an attempt to break the vicious cycle of bias and improve fairness in IR. We first investigated the existing bias presented in search engine results. Specifically, we focused on the top-k fairness ranking in terms of statistical parity fairness and disparate impact fairness definitions. With Google search and a general purposed text cluster as a lens, we explored several topical diversity fairness ranking strategies to understand the relationship between relevance and fairness in search results. Our experimental results showed that different fairness ranking strategies resulted in distinct utility scores and performed differently with distinct datasets. Second, to further investigate the relationship of data and fairness algorithms, we developed a statistical framework that was able to facilitate various analysis and decision making. Our framework could effectively and efficiently estimate the domain of data and solution space. We derived theoretical expressions to identify the fairness and relevance bounds for data of different distributions, and applied them to both synthetic datasets and real world datasets. We presented a series of use cases to demonstrate how our framework was applied to associate data and provide insights to fairness optimization problems. Third, we proposed an evaluation metric FAIR for the ranking results that encoded fairness, diversity, novelty and relevance. This metric offered a new perspective of evaluating fairness-aware ranking results. Based on this metric, we developed an effective ranking algorithm that jointly optimized for fairness and utility. Our experiments showed that our new metric was able to highlight results that achieved good user utility and fair information exposure at the same time. We showed how FAIR metric related to existing metrics through correlation analysis and case studies, and demonstrated the effectiveness of our FAIR-based algorithm.

Article describes theoretical approaches which touch the problem of connection of life goal choosing and the existence of human life. Using the method of nonlinear relationships, a close relationship of psychological factors and their mutual influence are highlighted. Psychological factors: “Caring for one’s own health” and “Mastering a profession and skill”; “Do good for other people” and “Master the profession and skill”; “Have good friends” and “Master the profession and skill”; “Master the profession and skill” and “Travel the world”; “Finding a calling and“ Traveling the world ”are presented as a way for older people to select goals. Ways of choosing goals by people of late adulthood are considered in a two-year time perspective. Attention is focused on the implementation of time control in connection with understanding the finiteness of life. Article clarifies the role of psychological and pedagogical aspect as possible and accessible way in search of answers to life challenges of elderly people is also discussed. Authors consider the role of psychological help and pedagogical impact on elderly people obtaining the opportunity to place independently real and attainable goals, being fully aware of their sense and the meaning of their own existence.

Full textAbstract:
There are some studies on the educational potential of game jams, but their number seems insufficient given the hundreds of thousands of game jam participants every year. What emerges as the largest research gap is the game industry perspective: its involvement in game jamming and motivations for doing so. This study is a reaction to this research gap. Current research defined some educational benefits of game jams, but how these benefits are relevant for the game industry is radically underresearched. Clarifying this missing link might be essential to the widespread use of game jams as platforms for collaboration between the academia and the game industry. This explorative study answers the following questions: What do we know about the learning outcomes of game jams for participants? How are (or are not) those outcomes relevant for the game industry? How and why do (or do not) video game studios engage with game jams? If so, are the studios also motivated by educational benefits? Our paper is based on a systematic review of resources from 10 academic databases using search operators and pre-defined criteria, and also on direct data collection from the video game industry. The study suggests that game jams can improve soft and hard skills that the video game industry appreciates. Also, the findings suggest that the video game industry is aware of game jams’ educational benefits and that these benefits are one of the main motivators for game companies to get involved in game jams.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – This paper aims to investigate the role of store brands as a time- and money-saving heuristic in the context of an omnipresent store brand hierarchy. Drawing on the work of Tversky and Kahneman (1982), it proposes that the store brand hierarchy is characterised by many of the traits of frequently used heuristics employed by grocery shoppers. Design/methodology/approach – Based on Chaiken’s (1980) model of information processing and Stigler’s (1961) perspective on the economics of information search, the study deductively establishes a model of store brand proneness to reveal the role of store brands as time- and money-saving heuristic. The model is tested on a sample of 535 US households using structural equation modelling and subsequent multigroup analysis based on two subsamples of households experiencing high financial pressure but who differ in terms of time pressure. Findings – The findings provide strong support for store brands as a time- and money-saving heuristic and as a substitute for price search among households experiencing financial and time pressures. Research limitations/implications – The main limitation is that the study is based on a sample of households located in one region of the US market. Practical implications – Retailers need to be aware that any extension of the store brand portfolio beyond the traditional multi-tiered price/quality hierarchy risks undermining what has emerged to be a valuable heuristic used by certain shoppers. Originality/value – This study extends our understanding of the role of store brands in the marketplace by going beyond their conceptualisation as a competitive device used by retailers to instead position them as a decision-making tool used by consumers. It also deepens our understanding of the boundary between rational search activities and the transition to the use of frequently flawed heuristics within the shopping process.

Full textAbstract:
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a devastating critical illness that can be triggered by a wide range of insults and remains associated with a high mortality of around 40%. The search for targeted treatment for ARDS has been disappointing, possibly due to the enormous heterogeneity within the syndrome. In this perspective from the European Respiratory Society research seminar on “Precision medicine in ARDS”, we will summarise the current evidence for heterogeneity, explore the evidence in favour of precision medicine and provide a roadmap for further research in ARDS. There is evident variation in the presentation of ARDS on three distinct levels: 1) aetiological; 2) physiological and 3) biological, which leads us to the conclusion that there is no typical ARDS. The lack of a common presentation implies that intervention studies in patients with ARDS need to be phenotype aware and apply a precision medicine approach in order to avoid the lack of success in therapeutic trials that we faced in recent decades. Deeper phenotyping and integrative analysis of the sources of variation might result in identification of additional treatable traits that represent specific pathobiological mechanisms, or so-called endotypes.

As the COVID-19 pandemic unfolds, researchers from all disciplines are coming together and contributing their expertise. CORD-19, a dataset of COVID-19 and coronavirus publications, has been made available alongside calls to help mine the information it contains and to create tools to search it more effectively. We analyse the delineation of the publications included in CORD-19 from a scientometric perspective. Based on a comparison to the Web of Science database, we find that CORD-19 provides an almost complete coverage of research on COVID-19 and coronaviruses. CORD-19 contains not only research that deals directly with COVID-19 and coronaviruses, but also research on viruses in general. Publications from CORD-19 focus mostly on a few well-defined research areas, in particular: coronaviruses (primarily SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2); public health and viral epidemics; molecular biology of viruses; influenza and other families of viruses; immunology and antivirals; clinical medicine. CORD-19 publications that appeared in 2020, especially editorials and letters, are disproportionately popular on social media. While we fully endorse the CORD-19 initiative, it is important to be aware that CORD-19 extends beyond research on COVID-19 and coronaviruses.

Full textAbstract:
Young people with borderline intelligence functioning (BIF) have intellectual functioning at the border between intellectual disability and those considered neurotypical. This population group is often underrepresented in social research, which makes it difficult to understand their experiences and needs. The research aims to understand the daily lives of young people with BIF to identify needs that society might not be aware of. The study was conducted with a sample of 30 young people. The ethnomethodological design was appropriate for the study of the routines and daily dynamics of these young people, which allowed the researchers to understand the experiences and meanings of the participants from their own perspective. The analysis was carried out in the context of the subject of Qualitative Research Tools in Social Work with fourth-year students, through participant observation, semi-structured interviews, and field diaries. Data analysis was performed using the Atlas.ti23 qualitative content analysis program. The findings suggest a strong dependence on family and social support; a daily life marked by challenges; and a search for autonomy, among many other aspects. Collaboration with the participants allowed the researchers to better understand their experiences and needs from reflexivity.

Full textAbstract:
One symptom of individualism in liquid modernity is the search for `identity'. Using the five theoretically discrete articles in this special issue as both a `rich' discursive resource and a point of departure, we develop a supplementary reading of the narratives which appear to inform identity research. We suggest that, while social agents in pursuit of `identity' draw on a cacophony of discursive sources, it is the varieties of `self—other' talk which emerge as the critical ingredient in processes of identity formation. The dualities that all such self—other talk articulate can be seen as discursive reflections of the more fundamental relationship between the individual and sociality. In turn, this is seen to refract one of the persistent problems of organizational analysis: the agency—structure issue. In addition, while we argue that deploying a discursive perspective to analyze identity work offers distinctive insights, such an approach carries with it an epistemological consequence. For what the articles also indicate is that in any attempt to delineate the `identity of identities', researchers need to be aware of not only the reflexivity displayed by social actors constructing `identity' but also of their own role in `re-authoring' such scripts. We briefly explore the implications of this for identity theory and organizational analysis more generally.

Humans always desire to know themselves, know the world around them, and know their place in the world. This search has taken humanity from religious dogmas to philosophical discourse and the empirical sciences. Although human civilization has progressed in various alternatives for understanding the self about nature, the answers remain elusive. Spirituality, whether related to a particular religion or another, has been practiced for a long time and is claimed to provide answers to “unresolved doubts” (S. Haque Nizamie, et al, 2013). In recent years, there has been an increase in interest in spirituality, and advances in neuroscience have provided an opening to understand it from a more scientific viewpoint and place it in the proper perspective. In various cultures, spirituality is an important part of the belief system of the majority of society. This affects mental well-being and understanding of mental illness in terms of etiology, meaning, and self-healing modalities. It seems important for mental health professionals to be aware of how spirituality influences the mental well-being of individuals in both health and illness. This paper will outline the basic foundations of Sufism, how Sufism affects the mental well-being of individuals associated with it, and its relationship with psychology.

<p>This research is a library research by using books and other literatures as the main object. The study in this paper provides a clear, objective, analytical and critical overview of the existing phenomena regarding the development of Islamic economics in Indonesia in the perspective of Islamic philosophy. Currently, there are still some discrepancies between the concept and its application in Islamic Economics. It took a lot of time to find meaning from the concept of Islamic economics through the Islamic law/maqasid sharia approach. The search for meaning is of course through inquiries by involving many researchers both from insiders and outsiders. The concept of maqasid shari'ah is strongly influenced by interpretation, perspective, educational background and depth of religious knowledge.</p><p>In the study of the philosophy of the Islamic sciences, one of the efforts to break the stagnation of Islamic economic concepts and thinking is through the deconstruction of critical thinking with a critical paradigm. It is needed to avoid logocentrism (centered on its own logos/way of thinking). Each mahzab of Islamic economics should be aware that religious understanding from nash is essentially only one possible meaning of the many other possible meanings hidden behind the nash. This is to avoid the reality of the sacralization of each other's understanding so that it triggers conflict with the understanding of others. That way, the common thread of the concept of Islamic economics can be found together to be a reference for practice its field.</p><p>Keywords; Economics, Islam, <em>Maqasid Sharia</em>, Philosophy.</p>

A protocol for a mixed methods systematic review." BMJ Open 12, no. 10 (2022): e054267. http://dx.doi.org/10.1136/bmjopen-2021-054267.
Full textAbstract:
IntroductionOverdiagnosis is the diagnosis of a disease that would never have caused any symptom or problem. It is a harmful side effect of screening and may lead to unnecessary treatment, costs and emotional drawbacks. Doctors and other healthcare professionals (HCPs) have the opportunity to mitigate these consequences, not only by informing their patients or the public but also by adjusting screening methods or even by refraining from screening. However, it is unclear to what extent HCPs are fully aware of overdiagnosis and whether it affects their screening decisions. With this systematic review, we aim to synthesise all available research about what HCPs know and think about overdiagnosis, how it affects their position on screening policy and whether they think patients and the public should be informed about it.Methods and analysisWe will systematically search several databases (MEDLINE, Embase, Web of Science, Scopus, CINAHL and PsycArticles) for studies that directly examine HCPs' knowledge and subjective perceptions of overdiagnosis due to health screening, both qualitatively and quantitatively. We will optimise our search by scanning reference and citation lists, contacting experts in the field and hand searching abstracts from the annual conference on 'Preventing Overdiagnosis'. After selection and quality appraisal, we will analyse qualitative and quantitative findings separately in a segregated design for mixed-method reviews. The data will be examined and presented descriptively. If the retrieved studies allow it, we will review them from a constructivist perspective through a critical interpretive synthesis.Ethics and disseminationFor this type of research, no ethical approval is required. Findings from this systematic review will be published in a peer-reviewed journal and presented at the annual congress of 'Preventing Overdiagnosis'. In addition, the results will serve as guidance for further research on this topic.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42021244513.

AbstractPhysicians should be aware of both websites and videos available online regarding the otoplasty procedure to provide quality care. This study systematically analyzes the authorships, reliability, quality, and readability of the websites, as well as the authorships and primary objectives of the videos regarding otoplasty. Validated instruments were used to analyze the reliability, quality, and readability of websites, and videos were systematically categorized and analyzed. A Google search was conducted, and the first five pages of results were included in this study. After excluding unrelated websites, the remaining 44 websites were categorized by authorship (physician, patient, academic, or unaffiliated) and were analyzed using the validated DISCERN instrument for reliability and quality, as well as various other validated instruments to measure readability. A YouTube search was also conducted, and the first 50 relevant videos were included in the study. These videos were categorized by authorship and their primary objective. Website authorships were physician-dominated. Reliability, quality, and overall DISCERN score differ between the four authorship groups by a statistically significant margin (Kruskall–Wallis test, p < 0.05). Unaffiliated websites were the most reliable, and physician websites were the least reliable. Academic websites were of the highest quality, and patient websites were of the lowest quality. Readability did not differ significantly between the groups, though the readability measurements made showed a general lack of material easily readable by the general public. YouTube was likewise dominated by physician-authored videos. While the physician-authored videos sought mainly to inform and to advertise, patient-authored videos sought mainly to provide the patient's perspective. Academic organizations showed very little representation on YouTube, and the YouTube views on otoplasty videos were dominated by the top 20 videos, which represented over 93% of the total views of videos included in this study.

Full textAbstract:
This paper aims at illustrating the multidimensional role of the manager and its mutual influence on organizational culture from a management students’ perspective. The main part of the text was based on own qualitative research – interviews, a questionnaire, and a narrative collage – which was conducted over a 10 year period among management students. Ninety-seven students from the Jagiellonian University and the Gdańsk University of Technology took part in the research. In order to gather, analyze and interpret the data, and to achieve reliable results, we followed the thematic analysis rules. We investigated the empirical material, provided by the management students responses to the research questions posed in the questionnaire, in the search for interesting threads, seeking a definition and an understanding of the term “manager” and the specifics of a manager’s work. We also presented several quotes from the data in accordance with the principles of data analysis in qualitative research methodology. Four different prisms were identified: gender, relational, constant learning and professional, described as the areas of managerial duties, features, and expectations. The article’s key value is the focus on students’ perception – an idealized construct of the managerial role, which states a benchmark for their own actual and prospect managerial performance. Such a perspective is very important for practice as well as for education. From a practical point of view, some management students will manage teams or organizations in the future. They should be aware of managerial duties’ elaborate character and the multiple demands on the role’s performance. They will shape the role by themselves. On the other hand, from an educational point of view, it is essential to give students some insight into their prospective role, understand the elaborate organizational relations, and the activities that appear in organizational culture that always influence management.

In the context of readers’ development , it is the School’s responsibility to provide conditions for educating citizens in a critical and reflective way, aware of their presence in the world, especially those who have not been given access to formal education at regular age. In this perspective, this work aims at analyzing both some characteristics and some of the difficulties which permeate literary literacy in Young Adults Education (YAE). In order to establish a dialogue between this teaching modality and the literary literacy, we aim at discussing some of the factors involved in such issue. In addition to that, we aim at pointing out, theoretically, effective Literature Teaching practices, so as to present a possible scenario concerning the promotion of readers’ development process. In order to do so, we based our studies on the work of Cosson (2006a, 2006b, 2009), Lajolo (1993) and Zilberman (2008a, 2008b), among others. Regarding the methodological process, we opted for a qualitativeinterpretative research and underpinned our study on recent literature about the topic. Results show not only the importance of literature in the YAE universe, not only as a key factor for students’ professional and human development, but also a need for constant search for new uses of methodologies which meet the needs imposed by this teaching modality in our country.

Abstract: The article is my ASHE Presidential Address from 2013 – it has not been substantially revised or updated. It is a reflective piece on my journey in academia, with a particular focus on the role of personal identity in research. The piece begins by discussing my initial belief in the importance of maintaining objectivity in research by distancing personal identity from my work. This belief was rooted in the traditional academic notion that research should be “objective” and “distanced.” My position, however, evolved as I came to realize that my positionality was not objective but was instead problematic. This realization was not immediate but was the result of years of reading, studying, and being influenced by other scholars. In this piece I share an “aha moment” that greatly influenced my professional and personal life. This moment led to a significant shift in my approach to research, making privilege and awareness central to my work. The essay includes not only my perspectives on this matter, but also those of my colleagues in the field in the form of data as well as vignettes. The paper concludes by encouraging other academics to acknowledge their personal identities and experiences as fundamental parts of academic discourse – to engage in me-search. This perspective challenges traditional notions of objectivity and distance in research, suggesting a more inclusive and self-aware approach to academia.
