Full textAbstract:
Amodal completion (AC) is analyzed, by looking at its historical roots and persisting conceptual difficulties. Looking at the origin of the concept, it becomes clear that it is not equivalent to perception of occluded parts. The role of fragment incompleteness is discussed, to clarify that it cannot be taken as a necessary factor for eliciting AC. The standard view of AC, depicted as a set of processes that extrapolate from veridically represented image fragments, is evaluated and rejected on the basis of evidence that AC modifies also modal parts. The theoretical importance of AC phenomena and their potential to reveal the inner forces of perceptual organization are emphasized, with specific reference to the minimum principle. Instances in which AC might be expected but does not occur are examined, to define the limits of such an integrative process.

Full textAbstract:
In high-power laser systems, the loading capacity of fused silica components under 351 nm irradiation is an important factor limiting their ability to increase output power, and in the current study, the damage threshold enhancement of fused silica components after RIE and AMP treatments has been investigated. Sub-surface defects in fused silica components after RIE treatment have also been investigated, but the reason for the high damage threshold could never be explained. Since quartz crystals and fused silica belong to the same silica system, and quartz crystals have more characterisation means than fused silica, we can extrapolate to fused silica by studying quartz crystals. We can extrapolate to fused silica by studying quartz crystals, which are characterised by more means than fused silica, and prove that the extrapolation is correct by characterising fused silica. In this study, the relationship between the etching process and the damage threshold is concluded by studying different RIE etching processes, and the damage threshold of the samples is optimal when the etching depth is 1 um.

SPSS 21.0 program was used to analyze data collected from total of 319 surveys on the effect of plastic surgery perception and interest in appearance on appearance orientation and self-esteem. This research aims to identify the impact of plastic surgery perception and interest in appearance on appearance orientation in order to encourage appearance orientation and enhance self-esteem, and the results were the following. Positive factor of plastic surgery perception had negative(-) effect on orientation factor of appearance orientation, and reaction and improvement factors had positive(+) effect on orientation factor. Also, positive factor of plastic surgery perception has negative(-) effect on self-esteem while improvement factor had positive(+) effect. interest in appearance factor had positive(+) effect on orientation factor of appearance orientation and on self-esteem factor as well. In conclusion, plastic surgery perception can be improved through app review events while 3D virtual surgery and service systems such as happy-call for after service maintenance can increase self-esteem. Methods for increasing interest in appearance include regular exercises and self-makeup classes. Future research could connect plastic surgery perception and interest in appearance with behavior and psychological characteristics to find meaningful connections.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose Top management support (TMS) is considered as a critical factor for the success of information systems (ISs) projects. The literature shows that TMS has a positive impact on achieving success in ISs’ projects in different aspects. However, the enabling factors for TMS in complex ISs’ projects have barely been tested, something which this study aims to rectify. Design/methodology/approach This study has designed a research model based on structural equation modelling (SEM) with the intention of analysing the perception of IS end users regarding the effect on TMS of the following factors: technological complexity and training and organizational communication. The application of the study has focused on an enterprise resource planning–open source software (ERP-OSS) environment. Findings The findings show how end users have a perception that organizational communication and training have a positive relation with TMS. Based on these findings, the authors have suggested several practical considerations. Research limitations/implications There are two limitations to this study. First, this study is based on the perception of complex IS/IT users. It would be interesting to add the perception of top managers to provide more solid findings. The second limitation is that this study has not suggested any additional potential factors which could affect TMS. Practical implications First, this article provides a study of the key role of TMS when an organization needs to implement a complex IS/IT. Second, organizations must develop mechanisms for increasing training and communication relating to the new complex IS/IT projects. Finally, the complexity of an IS/IT project does not constitute an enabling factor incentivizing TMS and should therefore not be a determining factor in increasing TMS within an organization selecting an IS/IT. Originality/value This study contributes to advancing theory in the field of TMS in information systems projects.

Full textAbstract:
The User Interface (UI) is the first artefact that the user interacts with while developing a sense of trust that motivates him to use software applications more effectively. A badly designed UI can deceive users and bring the system into disrepute. Trustworthiness in UI is mandatory, as a poorly implemented UI can lead to the user misusing the system and jeopardizing the expected result. Trust in computational systems involves not only technical aspects, such as computational infrastructure, storage space, and service composition, but also aspects of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). While technological aspects have received considerable attention, there are few research on human-computer interaction in terms of trust. This paper describes a way for assessing a system’s trustworthiness based on the user’s perception. The approach relies on a quality model to aggregate interface quality criteria in order to get a trustworthiness score. Three sets of experiments involving more than 300 individuals were carried out to validate the suggested methodology. A comparison was made between the trustworthiness score obtained through the methodology and the answers to open questions obtained through the users’ questionnaires. The results were consistent, and statistical analysis corroborated the positive assessment. Based on these results, examples of improvements were developed to highlight the usefulness of the approach for developing more trustworthiness interfaces.

Full textAbstract:
The article discusses and analyzes the economic and social rationality and expediency of organizing economic systems within the framework of various forms of the socio-economic organization of the state. A comparative analysis of the principles of evolutionary development of various spheres of existence of human societies is carried out. The emphasis is on comparing the biological and economic components of the life of social structures. Features of functioning and principles of organization of competitive capitalist and planned socialist economy are compared. These features of economic life in various state societies are compared. Comparative analysis is based on the perception of these economic systems by society. It is proposed to extrapolate the biological laws of the development of society and, above all, natural selection to the capitalist market economic system. Since human society has abandoned natural selection, which is expedient from the point of view of preserving the population, it has been suggested that the market economic system will also be transformed in the direction of moving away from the principles of natural selection (tough competition). Thus, truly human relationships can become dominant not only in the natural-biological, but also in the economic spheres of society. It is said about the expediency of comparing the functioning of economic systems with social systems, where natural selection has given way to the principles of universal humanism. An attempt is made to resolve the issue of the fundamental possibility of building a society of economic equality that does not contradict the biological nature of man. A variant of the organization of such a society can be a socio-economic system with a mixed economy, where the state guarantees the survival of all production structures, as well as employment.

Full textAbstract:
The perception of different size illusions is believed to be determined by size-scaling mechanisms that lead individuals to extrapolate inappropriate 3D information from 2D stimuli. The Muller-Lyer illusion represents one of the most investigated size illusions. Studies on non-human primates showed a human-like perception of this illusory pattern. To date, it is not clear whether non-primate mammals experience a similar illusory effect. Here, we investigated whether horses perceive the Muller-Lyer illusion by using their spontaneous preference for the larger portion of carrot. In control trials, we presented horses with two carrot sticks of different sizes, and in test trials, carrot sticks of identical size were shown to the subjects together with arrowheads made of plastic material and arranged in a way meant to elicit the Müller-Lyer illusion in human observers. In control trials, horses significantly discriminated between the smaller and larger carrot stick. When presented with the illusion, they showed a significant preference for the carrot that humans perceive as longer. Further control trials excluded the possibility that their choices were based on the total size of the carrot stick and the arrowheads together. The susceptibility of horses to this illusion indicates that the perceptual mechanisms underlying size estimation in perissodactyla might be similar to those of primates, notwithstanding the considerable evolutionary divergence in the visual systems of these two mammalian groups.

The objective of the article is to identify the perception of users of the Decision Support System (DSS), used by the Federal University of Brazil (UNIVASF), about the management of the Critical Success Factors (CSF) in the implementation of the Information System. The research, descriptive and quantitative, had data collected through a structured questionnaire, applied to Decision Support System users of the Federal University. The results reveal that organizational factors were perceived as those that received more adequate management, when compared to technological CSFs, while compliance with legislation was the factor that obtained the highest positive perception index. It should also be noted that preventive corrective initiatives adopted by managers were not sufficient, leading to this factor being the one with the least positive perception of adequate management. In addition, the career can affect to a certain extent the level of perception Management of the process of implementation of the information system.

Engineering infrastructure is provided at high cost and is expected to have a useful operational life of decades. However, it is clear that the future is uncertain. Traditional approaches to designing and operating urban storm drainage assets have relied on past performance of natural systems and the ability to extrapolate this performance, together with that of the assets across the usable lifetime. Whether or not climate change is going to significantly alter future weather patterns in Europe, it is clear that it is now incumbent on designers and operators of storm drainage systems to prepare for greater uncertainty in the effectiveness of storm drainage systems. A recent UK Government study considered the potential effects of climate and socio-economic change in the UK in terms of four future scenarios and what the implications are for the performance of existing storm drainage facilities. In this paper the modelling that was undertaken to try to quantify the changes in risk, together with the effectiveness of responses in managing that risk, are described. It shows that flood risks may increase by a factor of almost 30 times and that traditional engineering measures alone are unlikely to be able to provide protection.

As part of a large organizational investigation, 52 managers were asked to identify their leadership style on a Climate Opinion Survey. Within the same study, a group of 40 employees who worked for the managers were asked to describe their supervisors' leadership style. There was a wide discrepancy between the responses of the two groups. The authors suggest that possibly the reason so many managers deemphasize “people” concerns in the workplace is their inaccurate self-perception, a perception that allows them to believe they are striking a balance between “task” and “people” concerns when, in fact, their overwhelming focus is on the “task” alone.

Full textAbstract:
Based on two factor analyses of data from 67 right-handed undergraduates, a laterality quotient based on forward memory spans, spatial minus digit, divided by their sum, was devised. The hemispheric balance factor for which this quotient served as the principal marker had significant positive loadings by the laterality quotient for the Edinburgh Handedness Questionnaire and by a measure of repressive tendencies, the Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability Scale. Scores from this factor were positively related to global as opposed to analytic perception as measured by the Navon tachistoscopic task. This factor was unrelated to the trait anxiety and working short-term memory factors which also emerged. Trait anxiety was negatively related to global perception. The results raise the possibility that greater degrees of right-handedness may be related to the release of the nondominant right hemisphere from inhibition and that working short-term memory may not be lateralized.

The study examined the effect of task speed and delay on the perception of time. 60 subjects were randomly allocated to four groups in a 2 × 2 design. The first factor related to the speed of the task (fast or slow) undertaken during the time to be estimated, while the second factor related to when time estimates were obtained (immediately after the task versus following a delay). Analysis supported the hypothesised interaction, with time estimates being shorter in the fast than in the slow condition when obtained immediately after the task but longer in the fast than the slow condition when obtained after a delay. Results are discussed in relation to cognitive theories of time perception.

Full textAbstract:
Pain is often perceived an unpleasant experience that includes sensory and emotional/motivational responses. Accordingly, pain serves as a powerful teaching signal enabling an organism to avoid injury, and is critical to survival. However, maladaptive pain, such as neuropathic or idiopathic pain, serves no survival function. Genomic studies of individuals with congenital insensitivity to pain or paroxysmal pain syndromes considerable increased our understanding of the function of peripheral nociceptors, and especially of the roles of voltage-gated sodium channels and of nerve growth factor (NGF)/TrkA receptors in nociceptive transduction and transmission. Brain imaging studies revealed a “pain matrix,” consisting of cortical and subcortical regions that respond to noxious inputs and can positively or negatively modulate pain through activation of descending pain modulatory systems. Projections from the periaqueductal grey (PAG) and the rostroventromedial medulla (RVM) to the trigeminal and spinal dorsal horns can inhibit or promote further nociceptive inputs. The “pain matrix” can explain such varied phenomena as stress-induced analgesia, placebo effect and the role of expectation on pain perception. Disruptions in these systems may account for the existence idiopathic pan states such as fibromyalgia. Increased understanding of pain modulatory systems will lead to development of more effective therapeutics for chronic pain.

Full textAbstract:
Granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) is a cytokine/growth factor produced by epithelial cells that exerts embryotrophic effects during the early stages of embryo development. We performed a systematic review, and six studies that were performed in humans undergoing assisted reproduction technologies (ART) were located. We wanted to evaluate if embryo culture media supplementation with GM-CSF could improve success rates. As the type of studies and the outcome parameters investigated were heterogeneous, we decided not to perform a meta-analysis. Most of them had a trend favoring the supplementation with GM-CSF, when outcomes were measured in terms of increased percentage of good-quality embryos reaching the blastocyst stage, improved hatching initiation and number of cells in the blastocyst, and reduction of cell death. However, no statistically significant differences were found in implantation and pregnancy rates in all apart from one large multicenter trial, which reported favorable outcomes, in terms of implantation and live birth rates. We propose properly conducted and adequately powered randomized controlled trials (RCTs) to further validate and extrapolate the current findings with the live birth rate to be the primary outcome measure.

The article discusses the role of some factors that regulate the perception and understanding of the text. Extralinguistic factors are considered less-studied which makes the analysis presented in the article quite relevant. Modern science actualizes the interconnection of affective and cognitive processes of a person. Emotions play an important role in all types of man’s activity. Translation is one of the types of speech activity and is influenced by the general rules of psychic activity. Besides, translation is regulated by emotions. The level of a foreign text perception depends on the nearness of the emotional and the conceptual systems of the original and the translation text authors. Emotions are presented in the text by language units. They also actualize its meanings. The emotions of the fiction text author are of the paramount importance. The leading emotion builds its emotional dominance while the dependent emotions represent the emotional dominance modification.

Full textAbstract:
The present study investigated whether sensitivity to object violations in perception as well as in action would vary with age. Five-, 6-, and 11-yr.-old children and adults solved tasks which involved perception only, motoric indication of parts, actual assembly of parts, and drawing of a violated figure. In perception, object violation was the only factor showing change across age groups, with violations being increasingly noticed. In composition tasks involving motor components, object violation was just one factor besides quantity of parts and type of segmentation contributing to task difficulty and showing increase in performance across age groups. Analysis of object violations in visual structure required abilities similar to those needed when analysing shape interference. Improved visual detection and graphic construction of object violation seemed not to occur because segmentation increased quantitatively but more likely because fast perceptual processes came under scrutiny.

Background. Occupational therapists, especially those in education systems, are challenged to define their professional roles and identities. Purpose. This research evaluated the Role-Perception Questionnaire for Occupational Therapists in the Education System’s (RP-OT) psychometric properties, the Professional Identity Scale (PIS) internal consistency among occupational therapists, and relationships among role perception, professional identity, and demographic characteristics. Method. A sample of 147 occupational therapists in education systems completed the RP-OT and PIS. We conducted exploratory factor analysis and calculated Cronbach alpha to evaluate the RP-OT and PIS psychometric properties. Relationships were examined using Pearson correlation. Findings. The RP-OT was found reliable and valid, with medium-to-strong correlations among role perception, professional identity, and demographics. Teamwork in the education system was the major predictor (82%) of professional identity. Implications. Teamwork is part of the professional role of occupational therapists in the education system and a significant component for developing their positive professional-identity perception.

Full textAbstract:
A series of experiments were performed to investigate how motion sequences provide information about the intentional structure of moving figures or actors. Observers had to detect simulations of biologically meaningful motion within a set of moving letters. In the first two experiments a factorial design was used, with type of instruction as a between-subject factor and six movement parameters (number of items, speed and directness of target and distractors, and ‘relentlessness’ of target movement) as within-subject factor; in the final two experiments, the visibility of the goal towards which the target moved and the use of a tracking movement to distinguish the target were varied. In such displays search time increases with increasing number of stimuli. It was found that (a) the more direct the motion, the more likely it was to be interpreted as intentional; (b) intentional motion was much easier to detect when the target moved faster than the distractors than when it moved more slowly; (c) recognition of intentionality was impaired but not abolished if the goal towards which the target was moving was invisible; and (d) participants did not report intentional movement when the target was distinguished by brightness rather than the manner in which it moved. We argue that the perception of intentionality is strongly related to observers' use of conceptual knowledge, which in turn is activated by particular combinations of features. This supports a process model, in which intentionality is seen as the result of a conceptual integration of objective visual features.

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACTDespite its heterogeneous symptomatology, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is currently conceptualized as a unitary diagnostic entity. Recent factor-analytic studies have identified several OCD symptom dimensions that are associated with different demographic variables, comorbidity, patterns of genetic transmission, and treatment response. Functional abnormalities in neural systems important for emotion perception, including the orbitofrontal cortex, lateral prefrontal cortex, anterior cingulate gyrus, and limbic regions, have been reported in OCD. In this review, we discuss the extent to which neurobiological markers may distinguish these different symptom dimensions and whether specific symptom dimensions, such as contamination/washing, are associated with abnormalities in emotion and, in particular, disgust, perception in OCD. Also discussed are findings that indicate that anxiety can be induced in healthy volunteers in response to OCD symptom-related material, and that associated increases in activity within neural systems important for emotion perception occur to washing- and hoarding-related material in particular in these subjects. Further examination of neural responses during provocation of different symptom dimensions in OCD patients will help determine the extent to which specific abnormalities in neural systems underlying emotion perception are associated with different symptom dimensions and predict treatment response in OCD.

Full textAbstract:
With the advancement of intelligent perception in multirobot systems, cooperative localization in dynamic environments has become a critical component. However, existing multirobot cooperative localization systems still fall short in meeting high-precision localization requirements in Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)-denied environments. In this paper, we propose a factor-graph-based resilient cooperative localization (FG-RCL) algorithm for multirobot systems. This algorithm integrates measurements from visual sensors and Ultra-WideBand (UWB) to achieve accurate cooperative state estimation—overcoming the visibility issues of visual sensors within limited fields of view. We utilize the Joint Probabilistic Data Association (JPDA) algorithm to calculate the corresponding probabilities of multiple visual detection measurements between robots and assign them to their respective edges in the factor graph, thereby addressing the data association challenges in visual detection measurements. Finally, simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm significantly reduces the influence of visual detection measurement interference on the performance of cooperative localization. Experimental results indicate that the proposed algorithm outperforms UWB-based and vision-based methods in terms of localization accuracy. The system is implemented using a factor-graph-based optimization approach, and it exhibits scalability and enables plug-and-play for sensors. Furthermore, it demonstrates resilience in abnormal situations.

Full textAbstract:
Metrics are key elements that can give us valuable information about the effectiveness of agile software development processes, particularly considering the Scrum environment. This study aims to learn about the metrics adopted to assess agile development processes and explore the impact of how the role performed by each member in Scrum contributed to increasing/reducing the perception of the importance of these metrics. The impact of years of experience in Scrum on this perception was also explored. To this end, a quantitative study was conducted with 191 Scrum professionals in companies based in Portugal. The results show that the Scrum role is not a determining factor, while individuals with more years of experience have a higher perception of the importance of metrics related to team performance. The same conclusion is observed for the business value metric of the product backlog and the percentage of test automation in the testing phase. The findings allow for extending the knowledge about Scrum project management processes and their teams, in addition to offering important insights into the implementation of metrics for software engineering companies that adopt Scrum.

Full textAbstract:
When observers view a perceptually bistable stimulus, their perception changes stochastically. Various studies have shown across-observer correlations in the percept durations for different bistable stimuli including binocular rivalry stimuli and bistable moving plaids. Previous work on binocular rivalry posits that neural inhibition in the visual hierarchy is a factor involved in the perceptual fluctuations in that paradigm. Here, in order to investigate whether between-observer variability in cortical inhibition underlies correlated percept durations between binocular rivalry and bistable moving plaid perception, we used center-surround suppression as a behavioral measure of cortical inhibition. We recruited 217 participants in a test battery that included bistable perception paradigms as well as a center-surround suppression paradigm. While we were able to successfully replicate the correlations between binocular rivalry and bistable moving plaid perception, we did not find a correlation between center-surround suppression strength and percept durations for any form of bistable perception. Moreover, the results from a mediation analysis indicate that center-surround suppression is not the mediating factor in the correlation between binocular rivalry and bistable moving plaids. These results do not support the idea that cortical inhibition can explain the between-observer correlation in mean percept duration between binocular rivalry and bistable moving plaid perception.

Full textAbstract:
During visual search, selecting a target facilitates search for similar targets in the future, known as search priming. During bistable perception, in turn, perceiving one interpretation facilitates perception of the same interpretation in the future, a form of sensory memory. Previously, we investigated the relation between these history effects by asking: can visual search influence perception of a subsequent ambiguous display and can perception of an ambiguous display influence subsequent visual search? We found no evidence for such influences, however. Here, we investigated one potential factor that might have prevented such influences from arising: lack of retinal overlap between the ambiguous stimulus and the search array items. In the present work, we therefore interleaved presentations of an ambiguous stimulus with search trials in which the target or distractor occupied the same retinal location as the ambiguous stimulus. Nevertheless, we again found no evidence for influences of visual search on bistable perception, thus demonstrating no close relation between search priming and sensory memory. We did, however, find that visual search items primed perception of a subsequent ambiguous stimulus at the same retinal location, regardless of whether they were a target or a distractor item: a form of perceptual priming. Interestingly, the strengths of search priming and this perceptual priming were correlated on a trial-to-trial basis, suggesting that a common underlying factor influences both.

Full textAbstract:
In 1982 Satow proposed four hypothetical properties determining mechanisms of individual differences in perceptions; these were supported by results of a factor analysis of responses to a 58-item check list. Present work confirmed the four properties (intense sensitivity, temporal sensitivity, sensory-motor reactivity, and possible range of total stimuli), and obtained a property, preference for intense and prolonged stimuli, from a principal component analysis of data from a 60-item list given to 316 subjects. The 60-item list is a revised version of the 58-item list which asked subjects about their subjective sensitiveness and preferences for environmental sensory stimuli (visual, auditory, olfactory, and tactile). Within subjects relationships among these properties are interindependent, since for individuals correlations of factor-score estimates between pairs of these properties were near zero. This interindependence supported a model of four hypothetical types of individuals, explaining the individual differences on the grounds of the relations among the properties.

Full textAbstract:
Determining how people perceive distance is a central issue in the study of visual perception. Whilst near-distance perception has been extensively researched, far-distance perception has received little attention. We review the literature and illustrate key points with new data, focusing on analysis of available information/cues, degree of accuracy, measurement procedures, perceptual/cognitive influences, and geometry of perceived space. Analysis of available cues suggests that under natural viewing there is sufficient information for veridical distance perception. However, distance judgements are inaccurate and vary with mode of measurement (eg absolute vs relative judgements). Inaccuracy includes compression of distance. This has been modelled with the use of different geometries—most commonly power functions. Exponents often average 1.0 but this conceals considerable individual variation (in our data individual exponents ranged from 0.5 to over 1.0). Further, even for averaged exponents values vary between 0.8 and 1.25, as a function of viewing conditions, experimental method, and of the relative contribution of cognitive and perceptual factors. Evidence suggests that distance is encoded at an ordinal level, but for many practical tasks the final judgement must be metric (eg range finding) and this transformation is error-prone (in our data numerical estimates could be a factor of 10 out). Further, many natural judgements require perception of the full layout of the scene (including exocentric distances) rather than the more commonly investigated perception of egocentric distance. Evidence suggests that training based on practice with feedback produces some improvement in accuracy, but this is highly context-specific.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is to build machines with cognitive abilities on par with humans. These abilities include sensing, reasoning, decision-making, and social interaction. Although great strides have been achieved in creating intelligent agents that can observe and form opinions about their surroundings, problems still arise when it comes to their ability to reason and make decisions. The lack of a narrative structure inside these intelligent beings is a major drawback. This study suggests creating a narrative memory model with a dedicated module for use by self-aware agents. The model incorporates narrative memory to improve the agent's perception, understanding, and decision-making capabilities. The conscious agent will be able to create, store, and recall narrative-like representations of prior experiences with the help of the narrative memory module. To help the agent make sense of its surroundings, this narrative structure will give a method for categorizing and linking data. The agent will be able to recognize patterns, determine causal linkages, and extrapolate future outcomes by drawing on its narrative memory. There are several benefits to incorporating narrative memory into the brain of a self-aware agent. First, it'll give the agent a richer context from which to draw insights and make judgments. Second, the agent's perception and interpretation of complicated circumstances, as well as its general reasoning abilities, will be bolstered by the narrative memory module. Thirdly, the agent will be able to develop over time by absorbing new information and incorporating it into its preexisting narrative memory. This study uses a narrative memory-based approach to close the gap between conscious agents and human-like reasoning. The goal of this study is to improve the cognitive capacities of conscious agents by giving them the capacity to create and employ narrative memories, thus facilitating more nuanced perception, comprehension, and decision-making. The findings of this study could have far-reaching implications for the fields of artificial intelligence, robotics, and human-computer interaction by accelerating the creation of AGI systems with human-level cognitive capacities.

Full textAbstract:
Climate adaptation measures address the challenges that densification and climate change impose on the urban environment. Sustainable urban drainage system (SUDS) constructs include the introduction of natural elements, such as riparian buffers, vegetative filters, rain beds, water spills, watermark filters, retainers and dams, and are an integral part of these climate adaptation measures. SUDS are commonly undertaken at a municipal level in Norway but, unfortunately, the implementation of SUDS projects has lagged behind expectation. Norway is a normative and egalitarian society, where public resistance to local projects is a factor in the delayed adoption of SUDS. That is why a greater understanding of public perceptions and priorities is needed to build consensus and support for these climate adaptation measures. This research looked at the Blaklibekken SUDS case study in Trondheim, Norway. A cross-section of interviews with the municipality and users was undertaken to establish themes within local perceptions of the project. Themes of environmental benefit, child-related activities, maintenance of the site and funding were established to provide a better understanding of public expectations and what aspects of the project correlated with public acceptance or resistance. This work provides a starting point for further research to establish public ‘themes of interest’ that can provide decision makers greater insight into public priorities.

Safety and quality care of patients are key aspects and the mean goals of effective health care systems. The reality that medical treatment can harm patients is one that has had to be addressed by the healthcare community in recent years. This study aimed to explore nurses' perception of factors contributing to medication administration errors and reasons for which medication administration errors are not reporting. Descriptive exploratory cross-sectional design carried out to achieve the study aim. The study was conducted in two regional hospitals in Egypt. They had a total bed capacity of 512 beds distributed over three units (emergency, intensive care, and surgical units). A convenient sample of 146 nurses distributed in the morning and afternoon shifts in the units mentioned above was recruited in this study. Medication Administration Errors (MAEs) Reporting Scale used to collect data regarding the nurses' perception of factors contributing to the MAEs. The participants were ranked the most important factor for MAEs occur system reasons (24.73±1.46), followed by nurses staffing as the second reason of MAEs (24.11± 2.25). Third, fourth, and fifth-ranked reasons were physician communication (13.37± 2.7), medication packaging (12.84±1.87), transcription-related (8±0.1), respectively. Finally, pharmacy processes (6.9±2.93) viewed as the least factor for the frequency of MAE. The findings of the present study concluded seven perceived reasons for MAE, namely system reason, nurses' staffing, physician communication, medication packaging, transcription, and pharmacy process. The study recommended the development of active quality assurance systems in all health care environments concerning medications and drug administration.

Our aim was to analyze how subjects perceive their own physical fitness. In Study 1 the 247 subjects assessed their own fitness, endurance, strength, flexibility, and body composition according to specific category scales. Analyses showed that self-perceived physical fitness was mainly related to perceived cardiovascular endurance. According to sex and age, strength, flexibility, and body composition could have a significant influence. The scores obtained on the five scales were highly correlated, suggesting they were overdetermined by a more general factor assimilated to physical self-worth. In Study 2 the 91 subjects completed the same five scales, the Spiel-berger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, the Coopersmith Self-esteem Inventory, and the Bem Sex-role Inventory. Results confirmed the hierarchical model of Fox and Corbin (1989) and showed that physical self-worth is related to self-esteem, anxiety, and masculinity.

<p>Alternative communication is an assistive communication tool for people with communication disorders. Because of the variety of alternative communication symbols' graphic representation, it is important to evaluate both classical and unstudied symbolic systems from the perspective of their effectiveness in compensating communication difficulties for persons with disorder of intellectual development. This article deals with the specifics of visual perception and interpretation of concept-nouns and concept-verbs as elements of pictographic alternative communication. The sample of the study (N=92) consists of high school students at special education schools aged 13 to 19 years (M=15.5; SD=1.18), 72% are male. The study's stimulus material was composed of pictogram interpretation tasks in a verbal context and included symbols from three alternative communication languages: Blissymbolics, LoCoS &copy;, and Pictogram. The analysis of associative interpretations has shown that the factor of pictogram belonging to the particular system affects the correct interpretations of students with mild disorder of intellectual development (p=0.008), as well as the parameters of eye-movement activity: the number of gazes returns to pictograms (p=0.007), number of fixations (p=0.018) and viewing time (p=0.037). We conclude that, considering the cognitive characteristics of students with mild disorder of intellectual development, simpler graphic forms have the greatest efficiency in conveying information, regardless of the part of speech or level of schematism.</p>

Full textAbstract:
Remotely piloted aircraft are a fast-emerging sector of the aviation industry. Although technical failures have been the largest cause of accident occurrences for Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPASs), if they are to follow the path of conventionally crewed aviation, Human Factors (HFs) will increasingly contribute to accidents as the technology of RPASs improves. Examining an RPAS accident database from 2008–2019 for HF-caused accidents and coding to the Human Factors Analysis and Classification System (HFACS) taxonomy, an exploration of RPAS HFs is carried out and the predominant HF issues for RPAS pilots identified. The majority of HF accidents were coded to the Unsafe Acts level of the HFCAS. Skill errors, depth perception and environmental issues were the largest contributors to HF RPAS safety occurrences. A comparison with other sectors of aviation is also made where perception issues were found to be a greater contributor to occurrences for RPAS pilots than for other sectors of aviation. Developing appropriate training programs to develop skilled RPAS operators with good depth perception can contribute to a reduction in RPAS accident rates. The importance of reporting RPAS incidents is also discussed.

Analysis of responses from 632 respondents to a survey representing 4 military and 4 college locations in the southeastern USA indicated that race was a significant factor in perceptions of “welcomeness” or acceptance for seven of 10 nontraditional sports (70%). These significant differences persisted across sex, income, education, and location categories. When “welcome” scale scores were ranked, however, a strong association in ranking (Spearman rho = .66, p < .05) was found among racial groups. While it appears that many African Americans rated being much less welcome in nontraditional sports than Euro-Americans, both racial groups were likely to agree on which nontraditional sports would be more “welcoming” to new participants.

This research aimed to study the opinion and perspectives of Commuter Line passengers in Indonesia by using 18 attributes of service quality. There still needed to be more understanding about which service attributes were less satisfying and which were more pleasing to the Commuter Line passengers in the area of Jakarta and its surroundings. This research used factor analysis and Principal Component Analysis to select among the 18 Commuter Line service quality variables with the Varimax and Ordered Logit model rotation method. The number of samples used was 384 respondents from Commuter Line passengers in Jakarta and its surroundings. The result of factor analysis stated that the 18 attributes of service quality with three factors were the main attributes of service quality being used, namely the factor of station facilities and passenger behavior, the factor of ticket and security system, and they had reasonably strong correlations. The key finding of this research was that some service quality attributes, such as the crowd or density of trains, station stair facility, station lift facility, station seat facility, and shelter, were perceived as the attributes of service that were less satisfying. This research provided valuable insights into important factors affecting the opinion and perspective of Commuter Line passengers in Jakarta and its surroundings.

The purpose of this study was to investigate relationship among service value, trust, and psychological responses in the application of AI(Artificial Intelligence) in sports. The study participants selected for this study consist of 295 baseball players who have experienced AI assisted systems in sports. The data processing methods included frequency analysis, exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, reliability analysis, correlation analysis, and structural equation modeling. The findings derived from the objective and method of this study are as follows. First, social value was identified as a factor influencing trust. Second, social value was found to influence both cognitive and emotional responses, while emotional value was identified as a factor affecting emotional responses. Third, trust was identified as a factor influencing both cognitive and emotional responses. AI assisted systems in sports place greater emphasis on the collective social perception of sports teams than the value assessed by players. Additionally, it seems cooperation and effort from sports stakeholders will be necessary for the efficient utilization of artificial intelligence systems.

Abstract Road traffic accidents are a significant contributor to the global disease burden and a major cause of fatalities worldwide. In order to enhance traffic safety and minimize accidents, this study investigated the effect of driver safety attitudes and risk perception on driving behavior. To gather responses on risk perception and safety attitudes, surveys were conducted both online and on paper in three Vietnamese cities: Hanoi, Yenbai, and Laocai, and data was collected from 500 drivers. Exploratory factor analysis was performed on the 48 items in the questionnaire, resulting in eight factors that were subsequently analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis to generate risk perceptions on road systems and usage, safety attitude, and driving behavior. The four driving behavior factors identified were aggressive driving, careless driving, adherence to traffic rules, and multitasking. A structural equation model was used to explore the effects of driver risk perception and safety attitude on driving behavior. The results showed a significant positive correlation between drivers’ risk perception and safety attitude, with both factors significantly impacting driving behavior. This study provides a comprehensive analysis of traffic safety, with a specific focus on human factors.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose Systems intelligence (SI) (Saarinen and Hämäläinen, 2004) is a construct defined as a person’s ability to act intelligently within complex systems involving interaction and feedback. SI relates to our ability to act in systems and reason about systems to adaptively carry out productive actions within and with respect to systems such as organizations, family and everyday life. This paper aims to develop an inventory to measure the SI construct. Design/methodology/approach A combination of exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were carried out using data from self-report questionnaires. Findings Eight factors labeled systemic perception, attunement, attitude, spirited discovery, reflection, wise action, positive engagement and effective responsiveness are identified as the main components of SI. SI has associations with emotional intelligence but also captures additional dimensions. People in supervisor positions are found to score higher in a number of the SI factors. Originality/value A new measure is developed to evaluate and develop our ability to succeed in systemic contexts. The new measure is suggested to be particularly applicable in organizational contexts. It is directly related to the original core disciplines of the learning organization as described by Senge (1990), in particular personal mastery and systems thinking.

The use of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) for commercial applications is seeing steady growth in numerous sectors as the technology improves and more applications are realised. Whilst research into human response to UAS noise is a relatively new field, there is a far greater understanding of the perception and impacts of conventional aircraft noise. Therefore, a listening experiment was designed to investigate the relationship between perception of conventional aircraft and UAS flyover noise. The experiment used mono ground plate recordings of flyovers from several different aircraft and UAS, these recordings were re-spatialised to simulate flyovers over a multi-channel loudspeaker system. Participants were then asked to rate the annoyance of the sounds through a series of A/B comparisons. Results of the experiment demonstrate a clear positive correlation between Loudness and annoyance. However, Sound Quality Metric analysis also suggests that Sharpness of the UAS sound and Tonality and/or Roughness of aircraft sounds can also be a significant factor for annoyance. The finding of this experiment may contribute to the understanding and development of exposure-response relationships for UAS noise, building upon the extensive existing evidence on human response to conventional aircraft noise.

Full textAbstract:
We measured human observers' thresholds for detecting coherent motion in random-dot kinematograms and compared them with theoretical thresholds predicted by the hypothesis that unavoidable correspondence noise in the kinematograms themselves is the limiting factor. In experiments where the stimulus had two fields we varied the dot density, the ratio of the number of dots in the two fields, and the area of stimulus. In further experiments we varied the number of fields and the method of generation of the coherent dots. The observed thresholds varied in the way predicted by the hypothesis over ranges that were in some cases wide, but even within these ranges the absolute levels of performance were much worse than that calculated for the ideal observer. Objects moving in the real world generate motion signals in their images covering broad ranges of direction and velocity, and when the spread of motion signals within each presentation of our stimulus was increased, the discrepancy between ideal and actual performance was much reduced. We conclude that correspondence noise present in the stimulus is an important limiting factor in the coherent motion paradigm. Since this noise is largely external and inextricably bound with the signal, to attain high signal/noise ratios the input signals have to be pooled over broad ranges that match the range of motion signals in the natural stimuli. This provides an insight into the design of the motion detecting system, and perhaps into the design of other parts of the cortex.
