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

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

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

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

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Les technologies numériques jouent aujourd'hui un rôle important dans la pratique de la danse en facilitant et en soutenant la création, l'expression et l'apprentissage. La manière dont ces technologies sont conçues a un impact profond sur leurs utilisateurs. Leur développement et leur adoption rapide ont suscité des inquiétudes parmi les chercheurs quant à la possibilité d'occulter des connaissances tacites et incorporées de la danse. Cela a donc suscité un intérêt pour l'exploration des défis liés à la conception de technologies qui articulent, mettent en avant et transmettent efficacement les connaissances en danse. Mes recherches portent sur la conception « en conversation » avec la danse et la pratique du mouvement en utilisant des méthodes à la première personne du domaine de l'interaction humain--machine (IHM). Il s'agit de méthodes de recherche qualitatives qui permettent d'articuler l'expérience subjective et la connaissance incorporée. Dans mon travail, mon propre engagement corporel dans la pratique de la danse et de la musique constitue la base de ma pratique de design d'interaction. Mon approche inclut l'auto-ethnographie comme outil de narration subjective de phénomènes incorporés, le design auto-ethnographique, où mon expérience subjective informe ma pratique de design, et la pratique artistique, qui est en soi un mode d'enquête personnel et expérimental, reposant en grande partie sur l'intuition de l'artiste et sur son propre engagement corporel. Ces approches me permettent d'approfondir ma compréhension des dimensions proprioceptives, kinesthésiques et socioculturelles de la danse et de la connaissance du mouvement qui émergent, évoluent et persistent au fil du temps --- des dimensions que l'on a tendance à considérer comme acquises lorsqu'on ne tient pas compte de l'expérience vécue. Au-delà de ma compréhension individuelle de la danse, je m'efforce de concevoir des technologies qui soulignent l'importance de la transmission orale, de la connaissance incorporée et de la pratique communautaire. En m'engageant dans la pratique du mouvement, j'accède à la connaissance corporelle qui alimente mon processus de conception. En concevant à proximité de communautés de savoir, j'apprends comment je peux mobiliser ma pratique du design d'interaction au profit de ceux qui m'entourent. En rejoignant les traditions des méthodes à la première personne et de la recherche création, recherche basée sur la pratique dans l'IHM, je propose une approche de recherche que j'appelle concevoir « en conversation », comme particulièrement adaptée à l'étude des pratiques de mouvement. Je démontre mon utilisation des méthodes à la première personne lors de la conception « en conversation » avec la pratique du mouvement à travers trois études de design : The Suspended Circles, un instrument de musique numérique et sculpture cinétique qui retrace l'évolution de ma compréhension de la musique en tant que mouvement. Les Sounding Scarfs, des écharpes en soie qui sonifient les mouvements des danseurs et accompagnent la transmission orale du répertoire de danse moderne d'Isadora Duncan, favorisant la poursuite de la pratique et de l'engagement dans un répertoire de danse centenaire. Enfin, les Plaster Sculptures, une série de pots en plâtre illustrant ma transformation corporelle suite à l'apprentissage du répertoire de Duncan. Ces différentes études et artefacts servent d'objets de recherche et d'expérimentation dans des contextes particuliers de conception à proximité de la pratique de la danse et de la musique. Ils communiquent le potentiel du design pour remodeler notre compréhension du corps et des connaissances tacites qu'il véhiculeDigital technologies today play a role in dance practice by facilitating and supporting artistic creation, expression, and learning. The way these technologies are designed has a profound impact on their users. Their rapid development and adoption have raised concerns among scholars about the potential overshadowing or loss of tacit, embodied dance knowledge. As a result, this has prompted interest in exploring the challenges of designing technologies that effectively articulate, foreground, and transmit dance knowledge. My research centres on designing 'in conversation' with dance and movement practice using first-person methods in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). These are qualitative research methods that help articulate subjective experience and embodied knowledge. In my work, my own bodily engagement in dance and music practice constructs the foundation of my interaction design practice. My approach includes autoethnography as a tool for subjective narration of embodied phenomena, autoethnographic design, where my subjective experience informs my design practice, and creative arts and crafts practice, which in itself is a personal, experiential mode of inquiry, in large part relying on the artist's intuition and own bodily engagement. These approaches deepen my understanding of proprioceptive, kinaesthetic, and socio-cultural dimensions of dance and movement knowledge that emerge, evolve, and persist over time — dimensions that tend to be taken for granted when not taking lived experience into account. Beyond my individual understanding of dance, I strive to design technology in ways that emphasise the importance of oral transmission, embodied knowledge, and community practice. Through committed engagement with movement practice, I access the bodily knowledge that informs my design process. Through designing in proximity with communities of knowledge, I learn the ways in which I can mobilise my interaction design practice to benefit those around me. By joining traditions of first-person methods and practice-based artistic research within HCI, I propose designing 'in conversation' as a research approach that is particularly well-suited to the study of movement practices. I demonstrate my use of first-person methods when designing 'in conversation' with movement practice through three design studies: The Suspended Circles, a digital musical instrument and kinetic sculpture tracing my evolving understanding of music as movement. The Sounding Scarfs, silk scarfs sonifying dancers' movements and accompanying the oral transmission of the modern dance repertoire by Isadora Duncan, fostering continued practice and engagement with a century-old dance repertoire. And finally, the Plaster Sculptures, a series of plaster pots physicalising my bodily transformation from learning the Duncan repertoire. These different studies and artefacts serve as research objects and experimentation from particular contexts of designing in proximity with dance and music practice. They communicate the potential of design in reshaping our understanding of the body and the tacit knowledge it carries

The present paper critically examines the epistemic status of first-person accounts and first-person methods in Francisco Varela’s research program neurophenomenology, which integrates a phenomenological perspective in cognitive science. The paper also questions Varela’s description of neurophenomenology as an ontological recategorization of nature and a solution to the hard problem of consciousness.

Context. Virtual reality is getting closer and closer to being realized with new technologies emerging. This will lead to new ways to experience interactive worlds such as games. In order to keep the highest immersion possible new ways of interaction are needed. Objectives. In this thesis a control method using motion tracking devices such as the PlayStation Move and the Microsoft Kinect is examined as a method of interaction. This is then compared to the use of a gamepad in a prototype first person puzzle game without a virtual reality device. The aim is to discover how it affects the experience in terms of ease of use, immersion and fun factor as well as how it affects the efficiency of the player when completing the same in-game tasks. With this information it’s hoped to get an indication of how viable motion controls can be in a first person game and as a theoretical interaction method for virtual reality. Methods. To compare the control methods user studies are conducted with eight participants who play the prototype game using the two control methods and complete test chambers where their effectiveness is recorded. They are then interviewed to learn what they thought about the control methods and the experience. Results. Results consisting of time and points from the test chambers and answers from the interviews are compiled and analyzed. Conclusions. Analyzing the results of the user studies it is concluded that using motion controls rather than a traditional gamepad decreases the effectiveness of completing in-game tasks. There is an indication that motion controls increases the fun factor and immersion of the experience overall. The motion controls examined needs some getting used to and higher precision in order to be as effective as a gamepad but developing motion controlled games with the limitations in mind can give benefits such as higher immersion and fun factor.

Svest je u poslednje tri decenije postala predmetom multidisciplinarnih studija svesti (consciousness studies), što je aktualizovalo značaj konceptualne analize pojma svesti i problema koji se javljaju u različitim istraţivačkim pristupima svesti. Da li različite discipline (pa čak i različiti pristupi u okviru iste discipline) govore uopšte o istom predmetu? Na šta se, na primer, odnose savremene neurološke teorije svesti, kakav teorijski status ima koncept svesti u okviru funkcionalnih dijagrama kognitivne psihologije, o čemu govore psihoterapeuti kada naglašavaju značaj svesnosti u psihoterapijskom procesu ili značaj osvešćivanja nesvesnog, šta imaju u vidu fenomenolozi ili praktičari kontemplativnih tradicija kada se bave neposrednim iskustvom i na kraju, šta pod svešću podrazumevaju različite ontološke pozicije o odnosu duha i tela? Konceptualna analiza koja je sprovedena u ovom radu ima za cilj poboljšanje komunikacije izmeĎu disciplina i lokalizaciju teškoća koje stoje na putu interdisciplinarnim istraţivačkim projektima.Analitička filozofija duha (philosophy of mind) je u poslednje četiri decenije izoštrila i locirala problematiku svesti, te razvila novi konceptualni aparat i misaone eksperimente koji omogućavaju preciznije razumevanje ograničenja u pokušaju prirodnonaučne rekonstukcije pojma duha (mind), kakvu su poslednjih decenija, inače sa velikim uspehom, preduzele tzv. mind sciences (poput kognitivne psihologije, veštačke inteligencije, lingvistike, neuronauke) . U radu autorka pokazuje kako različiti savremeni filozofi ukazuju na distinkcije dva lica svesti i duha – Dţekendofovo razlikovanje računarskog duha (computational mind) i fenomenološkog duha (phenomenological mind), Blokovo razlikovanje A-svesti (access consciousness) i P-svesti (phenomenal consciousness) i Čalmersovo razlikovanje „lakog“ i „teškog“ problema svesti. Dok se, na primer, A-svest, odnosi na svest u smislu pristupačnosti, odnosno dostupnosti odreĎenog sadrţaja (mentalne reprezentacije) u kontroli govora, rezonovanja i akcije, P-svest (fenomenalna svest) odnosi se na činjenicu da svesna mentalna stanja poseduju doţivljajne, kvalitativne odlike, koje su dostupne direktno jedino iz subjektivne perspektive prvog lica. Za ovaj aspekat svesti je filozofija duha uvela tehnički termin qualia (lat. sing. quale) i on čini svest drugačijom od ostalih predmeta istraţivanja u dominantnoj objektivističkoj naučnoj paradigmi.U radu autorka diskutuje problem ontološkog statusa qualia, kao problem u formulaciji materijalističkih teorija duha (teza o identitetu, funkcionalističke i reprezentacionalističke teorije), kao i epistemološke probleme qualia – problem spoznajno privilegovanog poloţaja, argument nepotpunog znanja (Dţekson) i problem eksplanatornog jaza (Levajn) i njihove reperkusije za filozofiju nauke – problem odnosa metodologije prvog i trećeg lica, razumevanja i objašnjenja, duhovnonaučnog i prirodnonaučnog pristupa čoveku. Iz ovog ugla je u novom svetlu sagledano istorijsko smenjivanje paradigmi u glavnim tokovima akademske psihologije.Sve dosadašnje strategije eliminacije fenomenalne svesti iz psihološkog i filozofskog diskursa vode produbljavanju jaza izmeĎu sveta iskustva (Lebenswelt, Huserl) i prirodnonaučne slike sveta izgraĎene primenom objektivne metodologije. Psihoterapija je, naprotiv, disciplina koja predstavlja jednu od najvaţnijih spona izmeĎu disciplinovanog pristupa subjektivnom iskustvu i objektivnih naučnih činjenica. Zato je paţnja posvećena savremenom konstitusanju psihoterapije kao naučne discipline, kao i njenom pozicioniranju u odnosu na prirodnonaučnu i duhovnonaučnu paradigmu od osnivanja (Frojdovog osciliranja izmeĎu naklonosti prirodnonaučnom modelu i hermeneutičke prakse), preko niza novina i „dekonstrukcija“ prvobitnog modela kroz njenu istoriju, do savremenog trenda – neuropsihoterapije, koja poslednjih deset godina uvodi nova saznanja neuronauke u sagledavanje psihoterapijskog procesa i unapreĎenje postupaka. Analizirani su značaj i uloga koju različiti psihoterapijski pravci (klasična psihoanaliza, BT, KBT, uključujući i nove mindfulness pristupe, egzistencijalistički, humanistički i konstruktivistički pravci) pridaju svesti, svesnosti i osvešćivanju, te koje značenje ovi pojmovi imaju u svetlu distinkcija na koje je ukazala analiza filozofije duha – reprezentaciono tj. funkcionalno-kauzalno i fenomenalno. Pokazano je i kako se epistemološki problemi svesti koji su ranije opisani pojavljuju i rešavaju u psihoterapiji kao praktičnoj disciplini.Integracija fenomenalne svesti u sliku duha, te povezivanje prirodnonaučnih disciplina i disciplina koje se bave iskustvom i subjektivnošču mora da poĎe dalje od konceptualno-logičke analize na kojoj ostaje filozofija duha. Prvi korak na tom putu je razvoj metodologije prvog lica, koja omogućava opis mentalnih procesa i sadrţaja onako kako se oni manifestuju iz ugla svesnog subjekta. Stoga je najpre prikazano šest metoda prvog lica poreklom iz introspektivne psihologije, fenomenološke filozofije i budističke kontemplativne tradicije, a zatim sprovedena tematska kvalitativna analiza ovih metoda. Postupkom otvorenog kodiranja izdvojeno je deset dimenzija po kojima su uporeĎivane metode. Ovo eksplorativno istraţivanje omogućilo je precizniji uvid u meĎusobne srodnosti i razlike analiziranih metoda, u njihove moći i slabosti, te strategije unapreĎenja, kao i u mogućnosti saradnje sa metodama trećeg lica. Pokazali smo takoĎe da „pogled iznutra“ moţe da otkrije vaţne odlike svesti i duha koji ostaju netransparentni objektivnim metodama.Consciousness has become the subject of multidisciplinary consciousness studies in last three decades which revived the importance of conceptual analysis of the concept of consciousness and problems that occur in a variety of research approaches to consciousness. Do different disciplines (and even different approaches within the same discipline) speak about the same subject at all? What are modern neurological theories of consciousness related to, for example, what is the theoretical status of the concept of consciousness within functional diagrams of cognitive psychology, what do psychotherapists talk about when they highlight importance of awareness in a psychotherapeutic process and importance of becoming aware of the unconscious, what do phenomenologists or practitioners of contemplative traditions have in mind when dealing with direct experience and, in the end, what do different ontological positions imply with the notion of consciousness in the relationship between mind and body? Conceptual analysis conducted in this paper aims to improve communication between disciplines and localize difficulties that stand in the way of interdisciplinary research projects.Analytic philosophy of mind has sharpened and located the problem of consciousness in last four decades, and has also developed a new conceptual apparatus and thought experiments that enable more accurate understanding of limits in an attempt of a natural science reconstruction of the concept of mind, which in recent decades, usually with large success, have been undertaken by so-called mind sciences (such as cognitive psychology, artificial intelligence, linguistics, neuroscience). In this thesis, the author shows how different contemporary philosophers suggest distinctions of two faces of consciousness and mind – Jackendoff’s distinction between computational mind and phenomenological mind, Block’s differentiation of A-consciousness (access consciousness) and P-consciousness (phenomenal consciousness) and Chalmers’ distinction between "easy" and "hard" problems of consciousness. While, for example, A-consciousness, refers to consciousness in terms of accessibility and availability of specific content (mental representations) in the control of speech, reasoning and actions, P-consciousness (phenomenal consciousness) refers to the fact that conscious mental states possess experiential, qualitative characteristics, which are directly available only from the subjective perspective of the first person. Philosophy of mind introduced a technical term qualia (lat. sing. quale) for this aspect of consciousness, and it makes consciousness different from other subjects of research in the dominant objectivist scientific paradigm.In this thesis, the author discusses the problem of the ontological status of qualia, as a problem in the formulation of the materialistic mind theories (the thesis of identity, functionalist and representational theories), as well as epistemological problems of qualia - the problem of privileged access, the argument of incomplete knowledge (Jackson) and the problem of the explanatory gap (Levine) and their repercussions on philosophy of science - the problem of the relationship between first and third-person methodologies, understanding and explanation, a human science and a natural science approach to man. The historical succession of paradigms in the mainstream academic psychology has been viewed from this angle.All previous strategies of eliminating phenomenal consciousness from psychological and philosophical discourse lead to deepening of the gap between the world of experience (Lebenswelt, Husserl) and the natural science picture of the world constructed by using an objective methodology. Psychotherapy, on the contrary, is a discipline that is one of the most important links between a disciplined approach to subjective experience and objective scientific facts. That is why attention has been paid to the contemporary constitution of psychotherapy as a scientific discipline, as well as its positioning in relation to a natural science and a human science paradigm since its establishment (Freudian oscillating between the affection to natural scientific model and hermeneutical practice), through a number of novelties and "deconstructions" of the original model through its history, to the modern trend – neuropsychotherapy which has introduced new findings of neuroscience in understanding psychotherapeutic processes and improvement of procedures in last ten years. We analyzed the importance and the role that different psychotherapeutic views (classical psychoanalysis, BT, CBT, including new mindfulness approaches, existentialist, humanistic and constructivist views) attach to consciousness, awareness, and raising awareness, as well as the meanings of these terms in the light of distinctions identified by the analysis of philosophy of mind - that is, representational, functional-causal, and phenomenal. It was shown how the epistemological problems of consciousness described above occur and get resolved in psychotherapy as a practical discipline.Integration of phenomenal consciousness into an image of the mind, and connection of natural science disciplines and disciplines which deal with experience and subjectivity has to go beyond a conceptual and logical analysis on which philosophy of mind remains. The first step on this road is development of a first-person methodology, which allows a description of mental processes and content as they are manifested from a perspective of a conscious subject. Therefore, the first things presented were six first-person methods originating from introspective psychology, phenomenological philosophy and Buddhist contemplative tradition, and then, a qualitative thematic analysis of the six methods was conducted. The process of open coding singled out ten dimensions by which methods were compared. This exploratory research has allowed for a more precise insight into mutual similarities and differences of the analyzed methods, into their powers and weaknesses, improvement strategies, as well as opportunities for cooperation with third-person methods. It has shown also that “a view from within" can reveal important features of consciousness and mind that remain non-transparent to objective methods.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
The purpose of the project is to develop and evaluate a writing unit that could be used to teach adult students in a drug court program. The project is based on theories behind narrative therapy, its use in the treatment of persons with addiction problems, and how the reframing of students' own life stories through writing can bring about change. By using writing prompts as both therapeutic and educational tools, the author hoped to improve the students' life-coping skills and their writing abilities. The unit consists of paragraph writing, essay writing, reflective writing that focused on past events, and using computers to compose and format texts. The author evaluated a preliminary draft of the unit by submitting it to four education professionals with a questionnaire. Data was also collected from the author's students by means of surveys, interviews, and writing samples. Feedback from the professionals and the students guided the revision of the unit. The questionnaire, survey, and interview questions used in the project and the preliminary and final revised drafts of the teaching unit are included.

"Developing the cyranoid method of mediated interpersonal communication in a social psychological context : applications in person perception, human-computer interaction, and first-person research".

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This thesis revisits Stanley Milgram’s “cyranoid method” of interactive social psychological experimentation (Milgram, 2010a) and explores the technique’s empirical potential in several domains. The central component of the method is speech shadowing, a procedure that involves a person (the shadower) repeating in real-time words they receive through an innerear monitor by-way-of radio-relay from a remote source. Speech shadowing effectively creates a hybrid agent (a “cyranoid”) composed of the body of one individual (the shadower) and the “mind” (or more precisely, the words) of another (the source). Interactants naïve to this manipulation perceive speech shadowers as autonomous communicators, and this perceptual bias (the “cyranic illusion”) affords researchers the ability to inspect the effects of separately altering the physical (outer) and dispositional (inner) elements of an interlocutor’s identity in contexts involving spontaneous and unscripted face-to-face dialog. Four articles and two additional chapters have been developed for this thesis. Chapter 1, “Introducing and situating the cyranoid method” presents an overview of the cyranoid method alongside an analysis of documents pertaining to the method contained in the Stanley Milgram Papers archive at Yale University and situates the method in the context of the demise of the classical paradigm, or “golden age,” of social psychology. Chapter 2 (Article 1), “Replicating Milgram” (published in the Journal of Social Psychology under the title “Revisiting Milgram’s cyranoid method: Experimenting with hybrid human agents”), examines the cyranic illusion through replications of two of Milgram’s original pilot studies and discusses the method’s potential as a means of conducting person perception. Chapter 3 (Article 2), “Echoborgs: Cyranoids with computer program sources” (published in Frontiers in Psychology under the title “A truly human interface: Interacting face-to-face with someone whose words are determined by a computer program”), expands upon the traditional cyranoid method by exploring situations wherein a conversational agent (a computer program designed to mimic a human interlocutor) sources for a human shadower, thereby producing a special type of cyranoid known as an “echoborg”; the article places the echoborg within the context of android science, a field that uses humanlike machines as stimuli in social psychological research in order to explore various aspects of human interaction (Ishiguro & Nishio, 2007). Chapter 4 (Article 3), “Using echoborgs to assess intersubjective effort in human-agent dialog” (accepted for publication pending minor revisions in Computers in Human Behavior), combines conversation analysis techniques (e.g., Schegloff, 1992, 1993) with the echoborg method to investigate factors that influence how people repair misunderstandings that arise during dialog with conversational agents. Chapter 5 (Article 4), “Cyranoids in first-person, self-experimental research” (published in Integrative Psychological and Behavioral Science under the title “The researcher as experimental subject: Using self-experimentation to access experiences, understand social phenomena, and stimulate reflexivity”), explores the history of researcher-as-subject self-experimentation in social psychology and illustrates how the cyranoid method can be used as a first-person means of directly experiencing the consequences of a transformed social identity through systematic self-experimentation. Finally, Chapter 6, “Cyranoid ethics,” discusses the various ethical concerns involved in cyranoid research, outlines how they were mitigated in the current thesis, and offers suggestions for ensuring positive research participant experience. As Milgram died before publishing any work on the cyranoid method, and as speech shadowing has seen relatively little application in social psychological experimentation, this thesis attempts to provide the initial basis for future iterations and variants of the method.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This dissertation defends the reliability of first-person
methods for studying consciousness, and applies first-person
experiments to two philosophical problems: the experience of size
and of the self. In chapter 1, I discuss the motivations for
taking a first-person approach to consciousness, the background
assumptions of the dissertation and some methodological
preliminaries.
In chapter 2, I address the claim that phenomenal judgements
are far less reliable than perceptual judgements (Schwitzgebel,
2011). I argue that the main errors and limitations in making
phenomenal judgements are due to domain-general factors, which
are shared in the formation of perceptual judgements. Phenomenal
judgements may still be statistically less reliable than
perceptual judgements, though I provide reasons for thinking that
Schwitzgebel (2011) overstates the case for statistical
unreliability. I also provide criteria for distinguishing between
reliable and unreliable phenomenal judgements, hence defending
phenomenal judgements against general introspective scepticism.
Having identified the main errors in making phenomenal
judgements, in chapter 3, I discuss how first-person experiments
can be used to control for these errors. I provide examples, and
discuss how they overcome attentional and conceptual errors,
minimise biases, and exhibit high intersubjective reliability.
In chapter 4, I investigate size experience. I use
first-person experiments and empirical findings to argue that
distant things looking smaller cannot be explained as an
awareness of instantiated objective properties (visual angle or
retinal image size). I also discuss how an awareness of
uninstantiated objective properties cannot adequately account for
the phenomenal character of size experience. This provides
support for a subjectivist account of variance in size
experience.
In chapter 5, I investigate the sense of self. I distinguish
between a weak sense of self (for-me-ness) and a strong sense of
self in which there is a polarity between subject and object. I
use first-person experiments from Douglas Harding to demonstrate
an explicit strong sense of self, specifically when I point at
where others see my face. I also argue that this sense of self is
not explained by inference, thoughts, feelings, imagination nor
the viewpoint. Rather, it is part of the structure of experience
that I seem to be looking from here.
Even if there is a sense of self, there may be no self. The
question of chapter 6 is whether there can be a direct experience
of the self. I argue that to function as a bearer of experience
the subject must be single and lack sensory qualities in itself.
I use Harding’s first-person experiments to investigate the
visual gap where I cannot see my head. I argue that it conforms
to the above criteria, and hence is a candidate for being the
subject. This finding, in conjunction with the fact that I seem
to be looking from the same location, provides prima facie
evidence for the reality of the subject. I hold then that
contrary to Hume and most philosophers since, that there can be a
direct self-experience, if one knows which direction to attend.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
La schizophrénie est un trouble mental qui touche environ un pour cent de la population et dont les symptômes et troubles associés affectent la capacité des individus à fonctionner dans la communauté. Dans la dernière décennie, des services spécialisés dans la détection et l’intervention précoce dès le premier épisode psychotique ont été implantés dans plusieurs pays. Or, ces services ont surtout ciblé, jusqu’ici, la réduction des symptômes et de la demande de soins. Les difficultés fonctionnelles des jeunes adultes schizophrènes justifient que les services qui leur sont destinés misent également sur la réadaptation et l’amélioration du fonctionnement dans la communauté. Les besoins, priorités et préférences de cette population, ainsi que l’impact des particularités développementales du jeune âge adulte sur leur fonctionnement, sont méconnus.
Cette étude propose de documenter le fonctionnement dans la communauté des jeunes adultes schizophrènes au stade du premier épisode psychotique et de le comparer à celui de leurs pairs sans psychopathologie. L’utilisation d’un modèle théorique de réadaptation, le modèle de Compétence, permet de conceptualiser le fonctionnement sous l’angle de la relation personne-environnement. Ce projet s’inscrit dans une approche de recherche synthétique ; le devis préconisé est une étude de cas multiples avec l’utilisation de méthodes mixtes (qualitatives et quantitatives), selon un modèle concurrent de triangulation (Creswell & Plano Clark, 2007).
Les résultats mettent en lumière des différences entre les deux groupes dans les domaines des relations sociales et conjugales, du cheminement académique et de l’indépendance résidentielle et financière. Les données qualitatives, analysées selon le modèle de la théorisation ancrée (Glaser & Strauss, 1967), permettent de comprendre les processus sociaux impliqués dans l’accomplissement des tâches développementales au jeune âge adulte, ainsi que les conditions personnelles et systémiques sous-jacentes. Les résultats soulignent l’importance d’adapter les services résidentiels aux particularités développementales, de favoriser le soutien aux études et d’inclure les amis et les pairs dans la réadaptation des personnes touchées. Cette thèse permet à la fois d’identifier les besoins et priorités de cette population, de donner une voix aux jeunes adultes schizophrènes dans l’élaboration des services qui leur sont destinés et d’examiner les enjeux méthodologiques reliés à l’utilisation d’un devis mixte en recherche clinique.Schizophrenia is a mental health disease that affects approximately one percent of the population and whose symptoms and associated deficits hinder community functioning in affected individuals. Over the last decade, specialized services in early detection and intervention of first-episode psychosis have been implemented in many countries. So far, these services have primarily targeted symptoms and use of psychiatric care as outcomes. The significant functional difficulties experienced by young adults with schizophrenia call for a shift in emphasis towards rehabilitative strategies. No study has documented the needs, preferences and priorities of this population in terms of rehabilitation services and of the influence of developmental characteristics of young adulthood on functional outcome. This study aims to examine community functioning of young adults with schizophrenia after the first episode of psychosis and to compare it with community functioning of their unaffected peers. Community functioning is conceptualized from the perspective of person-environment interaction through the lens of the Model of Competence. A multiple case study is used within the canvas of a synthetic research approach. A concurrent, mixed methods design (qualitative and quantitative) is implemented for triangulation purposes (Creswell & Plano Clark, 2007). Results indicate salient differences between the clinical and comparison groups in the areas of social and conjugal relationships, academic achievement as well as financial and residential independence. Qualitative data analyzed through a grounded theory approach (Glaser & Strauss, 1967) highlight the social processes through which young adults achieve developmental tasks. Personal and systemic conditions that constraint and facilitate processes are recognized. The results have implications for psychiatric practices. First, residential services should be adapted to the developmental characteristics of this age group. Second, supported education should be valued and implemented as a key service for young adults with schizophrenia. Third, friends and members of the social network should be included as early and intensively as possible in the rehabilitation process. Overall, this study leads to methodological innovations in the use of mixed methods in clinical research, to identification of needs and priorities in the design of rehabilitation strategies and to the recognition of the voices and input of young adults with schizophrenia.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This volume contains the first Italian critical edition with introduction, translation and commentary of Euripides’ Iphigenia in Aulis. The tragedy, exhibited posthumously in 405 BCE, stages the first mythical segment of the Trojan War, namely the sacrifice of Iphigenia, daughter of king Agamemnon, head of the Greek army, in order to propitiate the winds that should lead the navy to Troy. A tragedy of intrigue and unveiling, in which all the characters try to oppose the sacrifice, judged to be an impiety despite its sacred essence. It is therefore a tragedy without gods, in which characters of modest moral stature move, unstable, ready to sudden changes of mind, and among whom the protagonist stands out: the girl who, having overcome the dismay for the destiny awaiting her, voluntarily moves towards death on the altar, for a flimsy patriotic ideal and with the illusion of achieving immortal glory. Since the end of the eighteenth century, the text of this tragedy, handed over to us by the manuscript tradition, has been exposed more than others to a rigorous philological criticism that has broken its unity, through considerable expunctions of entire sections and sequences of verses. The volume traces the phases of this critical work, showing its methods – and sometimes its excesses – and choosing a balance line in the constitution of the text. The overall exegesis of the tragedy, which I propose in this study, consists in the belief that, despite the exodus being spurious, the finale, in view of which the entire dramaturgy was composed, still had to contemplate Iphigenia’s salvation. In fact, if the Panhellenic ideal of defence against the barbarians is now meaningless, and if a war of destruction, to begin with, needs the death of an innocent person, then this death must be transcended and the horror of human sacrifice must dissolve. It therefore seems that, once political current events become opaque, the poet’s research tends to create situations of great patheticism in an aesthetic setting of refined beauty.

Leader, Kate. Litigants in Person in the Civil Justice System. Hart Publishing, 2024. http://dx.doi.org/10.5040/9781509948352.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Why do people represent themselves? What works and what doesn’t for self-represented parties? And how can we improve Litigant in Person (LiP) experiences to make the civil justice system fairer? Based on in-depth interviews with individuals who have acted as Litigants in Person in the civil courts, the book provides the first full-length account of LiP experiences. The author shines a light on how much we don’t know about LiPs, the civil justice system, and LiPs’ place within it, as well as the kinds of things we ought to be doing to improve access to justice for unrepresented parties. Perfect for scholars of administrative justice, access to justice, court reform and legal aid, as well as government bodies and non-profit organisations, this book generates insight into meaningful methods of what works and what doesn’t work for self-represented parties, based on the real-life experiences of LiPs.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This book addresses different linguistic and philosophical aspects of referring to the self in a wide range of languages from different language families, including Amharic, English, French, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, Newari (Sino-Tibetan), Polish, Tariana (Arawak), and Thai. In the domain of speaking about oneself, languages use a myriad of expressions that cut across grammatical and semantic categories, as well as a wide variety of constructions. Languages of Southeast and East Asia famously employ a great number of terms for first-person reference to signal honorification. The number and mixed properties of these terms make them debatable candidates for pronounhood, with many grammar-driven classifications opting to classify them with nouns. Some languages make use of egophors or logophors, and many exhibit an interaction between expressing the self and expressing evidentiality qua the epistemic status of information held from the ego perspective. The volume’s focus on expressing the self, however, is not directly motivated by an interest in the grammar or lexicon, but instead stems from philosophical discussions of the special status of thoughts about oneself, known as de se thoughts. It is this interdisciplinary understanding of expressing the self that underlies this volume, comprising philosophy of mind at one end of the spectrum and cross-cultural pragmatics of self-expression at the other. This unprecedented juxtaposition results in a novel method of approaching de se and de se expressions, in which research methods from linguistics and philosophy inform each other. The importance of this interdisciplinary perspective on expressing the self cannot be overemphasized. Crucially, the volume also demonstrates that linguistic research on first-person reference makes a valuable contribution to research on the self tout court, by exploring the ways in which the self is expressed, and thereby adding to the insights gained through philosophy, psychology, and cognitive science.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
With the advance in technology and social media usage, first-person recording videos has become a common habit. These videos are usually very long and tiring to watch, bringing the need to speed up them. Despite recent progress of fast-forward methods, they do not consider inserting background music in the videos, which could make them more enjoyable. This thesis presents a new method that creates accelerated videos and includes the background music keeping the same emotion induced by visual and acoustic modalities. Our approach is based on the automatic recognition of emotions induced by music and video contents and an optimization algorithm that maximizes the visual quality of the output video and seeks to match the similarity of the music and the video’s emotions. Quantitative results show that our method achieves the best performance in matching emotion similarity while maintaining the visual quality of the output video compared with other literature methods.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
In this paper, we present the Intra- and Inter-Human Relation Networks I²R-Net for Multi-Person Pose Estimation. It involves two basic modules. First, the Intra-Human Relation Module operates on a single person and aims to capture Intra-Human dependencies. Second, the Inter-Human Relation Module considers the relation between multiple instances and focuses on capturing Inter-Human interactions. The Inter-Human Relation Module can be designed very lightweight by reducing the resolution of feature map, yet learn useful relation information to significantly boost the performance of the Intra-Human Relation Module. Even without bells and whistles, our method can compete or outperform current competition winners. We conduct extensive experiments on COCO, CrowdPose, and OCHuman datasets. The results demonstrate that the proposed model surpasses all the state-of-the-art methods. Concretely, the proposed method achieves 77.4% AP on CrowPose dataset and 67.8% AP on OCHuman dataset respectively, outperforming existing methods by a large margin. Additionally, the ablation study and visualization analysis also prove the effectiveness of our model.

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

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Recent advances in skeleton-based person re-identification (re-ID) obtain impressive performance via either hand-crafted skeleton descriptors or skeleton representation learning with deep learning paradigms. However, they typically require skeletal pre-modeling and label information for training, which leads to limited applicability of these methods. In this paper, we focus on unsupervised skeleton-based person re-ID, and present a generic Simple Masked Contrastive learning (SimMC) framework to learn effective representations from unlabeled 3D skeletons for person re-ID. Specifically, to fully exploit skeleton features within each skeleton sequence, we first devise a masked prototype contrastive learning (MPC) scheme to cluster the most typical skeleton features (skeleton prototypes) from different subsequences randomly masked from raw sequences, and contrast the inherent similarity between skeleton features and different prototypes to learn discriminative skeleton representations without using any label. Then, considering that different subsequences within the same sequence usually enjoy strong correlations due to the nature of motion continuity, we propose the masked intra-sequence contrastive learning (MIC) to capture intra-sequence pattern consistency between subsequences, so as to encourage learning more effective skeleton representations for person re-ID. Extensive experiments validate that the proposed SimMC outperforms most state-of-the-art skeleton-based methods. We further show its scalability and efficiency in enhancing the performance of existing models. Our codes are available at https://github.com/Kali-Hac/SimMC.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Gait-based person re-identification (Re-ID) is valuable for safety-critical applications, and using only 3D skeleton data to extract discriminative gait features for person Re-ID is an emerging open topic. Existing methods either adopt hand-crafted features or learn gait features by traditional supervised learning paradigms. Unlike previous methods, we for the first time propose a generic gait encoding approach that can utilize unlabeled skeleton data to learn gait representations in a self-supervised manner. Specifically, we first propose to introduce self-supervision by learning to reconstruct input skeleton sequences in reverse order, which facilitates learning richer high-level semantics and better gait representations. Second, inspired by the fact that motion's continuity endows temporally adjacent skeletons with higher correlations (“locality”), we propose a locality-aware attention mechanism that encourages learning larger attention weights for temporally adjacent skeletons when reconstructing current skeleton, so as to learn locality when encoding gait. Finally, we propose Attention-based Gait Encodings (AGEs), which are built using context vectors learned by locality-aware attention, as final gait representations. AGEs are directly utilized to realize effective person Re-ID. Our approach typically improves existing skeleton-based methods by 10-20% Rank-1 accuracy, and it achieves comparable or even superior performance to multi-modal methods with extra RGB or depth information.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Skeleton-based person re-identification (Re-ID) is an emerging open topic providing great value for safety-critical applications. Existing methods typically extract hand-crafted features or model skeleton dynamics from the trajectory of body joints, while they rarely explore valuable relation information contained in body structure or motion. To fully explore body relations, we construct graphs to model human skeletons from different levels, and for the first time propose a Multi-level Graph encoding approach with Structural-Collaborative Relation learning (MG-SCR) to encode discriminative graph features for person Re-ID. Specifically, considering that structurally-connected body components are highly correlated in a skeleton, we first propose a multi-head structural relation layer to learn different relations of neighbor body-component nodes in graphs, which helps aggregate key correlative features for effective node representations. Second, inspired by the fact that body-component collaboration in walking usually carries recognizable patterns, we propose a cross-level collaborative relation layer to infer collaboration between different level components, so as to capture more discriminative skeleton graph features. Finally, to enhance graph dynamics encoding, we propose a novel self-supervised sparse sequential prediction task for model pre-training, which facilitates encoding high-level graph semantics for person Re-ID. MG-SCR outperforms state-of-the-art skeleton-based methods, and it achieves superior performance to many multi-modal methods that utilize extra RGB or depth features.

Recently, person re-identification (re-ID) has attracted increasing research attention, which has broad application prospects in video surveillance and beyond. To this end, most existing methods highly relied on well-aligned pedestrian images and hand-engineered part-based model on the coarsest feature map. In this paper, to lighten the restriction of such fixed and coarse input alignment, an end-to-end part power set model with multi-scale features is proposed, which captures the discriminative parts of pedestrians from global to local, and from coarse to fine, enabling part-based scale-free person re-ID. In particular, we first factorize the visual appearance by enumerating $k$-combinations for all $k$ of $n$ body parts to exploit rich global and partial information to learn discriminative feature maps. Then, a combination ranking module is introduced to guide the model training with all combinations of body parts, which alternates between ranking combinations and estimating an appearance model. To enable scale-free input, we further exploit the pyramid architecture of deep networks to construct multi-scale feature maps with a feasible amount of extra cost in term of memory and time. Extensive experiments on the mainstream evaluation datasets, including Market-1501, DukeMTMC-reID and CUHK03, validate that our method achieves the state-of-the-art performance.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
The challenges of visible-thermal person re-identification (VT-ReID) lies in the inter-modality discrepancy and the intra-modality variations. An appropriate metric learning plays a crucial role in optimizing the feature similarity between the two modalities. However, most existing metric learning-based methods mainly constrain the similarity between individual instances or class centers, which are inadequate to explore the rich data relationships in the cross-modality data. Besides, most of these methods fail to consider the importance of different pairs, incurring an inefficiency and ineffectiveness of optimization. To address these issues, we propose a Multi-Constraint (MC) similarity learning method that jointly considers the cross-modality relationships from three different aspects, i.e., Instance-to-Instance (I2I), Center-to-Instance (C2I), and Center-to-Center (C2C). Moreover, we devise an Adaptive Weighting Loss (AWL) function to implement the MC efficiently. In the AWL, we first use an adaptive margin pair mining to select informative pairs and then adaptively adjust weights of mined pairs based on their similarity. Finally, the mined and weighted pairs are used for the metric learning. Extensive experiments on two benchmark datasets demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed over the state-of-the-art methods.

Benekohal, Rahim, e Hongjae Jeon. Results of Work Zone Queue Analysis Training Classes. Illinois Center for Transportation, novembro de 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.36501/0197-9191/23-024.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This white paper summarizes the results from three training classes on queue analysis in work zones. Accurately predicting the mobility impacts of work zones will enable designers to identify effective countermeasures to improve mobility and safety in work zones. The course provides hands-on training on basic analytical methods (queue analysis methods) to compute work zone performance measures such as capacity, speed, queue length, delay, and users’ costs. The capabilities and limitations of WorkZoneQ-Pro and the Highway Capacity Manual procedure for work zones are discussed, and basic guidance on how to use them is presented. The first and second courses were in-person and lasted 1.5 days. The third course was virtual and lasted only one day with reduced content. The evaluation results indicate that the participants very much liked the trainings and learned a lot. The in-person classes had slightly higher scores than the virtual class. The average scores were 4.4–4.9 (out of 5) for the in-person classes and 4.2–4.9 (out of 5) for the online class.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This baseline report is part of an operations research project “Healthy Women, Healthy Families (HWHF): Shustha Ma, Shustha Poribar” led by Management Sciences for Health (MSH) in partnership with BRAC, SCOPE, and the Population Council. The project aims to improve quality and increase utilization of maternal, newborn, and child health (MNCH) and family planning (FP) services and information for young mothers-to-be, first-time mothers (FTMs) aged 15-24, and their partners in the urban municipality of Tongi, Gazipur District, Bangladesh, through a group antenatal care ANC-PNC approach. The objectives of this study are to establish baseline values of selected HWHF project result indicators against which the impacts of the project’s intervention can be measured. The target group is young, first-time parents and the study examines the current status of knowledge on MNCH-FP and access to services among FTMs. This quasi-experimental pre-post control group design study employs both quantitative and qualitative data-collection methods. A simple random sampling procedure was employed to select respondents from BRAC FTM lists, while qualitative informants were selected purposively.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
The Reserve Bank conducted its sixth triennial Consumer Payments Survey (CPS), which provides detailed information on how Australians make their payments. The 2022 CPS provides the first comprehensive snapshot of consumer payment behaviour following the changes brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. The survey shows that most in-person payments are made by tapping cards or mobile devices, even for small purchases. This means the share of in-person transactions made with cash halved, from 32 per cent to 16 per cent, over the three years to 2022. The demographic groups that traditionally used cash more frequently for payments – such as the elderly, those on lower incomes and those in regional areas – saw the largest declines in cash use. Cash usage has generally been replaced with card payments. While Australians are aware of and use a range of other newer payment methods, such as digital wallets and buy now, pay later services, they still make up a small share of payments.

Diagnosis and Management of Obsessive Compulsive Disorders in Children. Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), dezembro de 2024. https://doi.org/10.23970/ahrqepccer276.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Background. Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is a common, chronic, and impairing psychiatric disorder that often begins in childhood or adolescence. Early identification and treatment of OCD is important to prevent a cascade of developmental disruptions lasting into adulthood. The 2012 American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (AACAP) Practice Parameter recommends cognitive behavioral therapy that incorporates exposure and response prevention (ERP) as a first-line treatment for mild-to-moderate OCD in youth and recommends combined treatment with ERP (if feasible) and a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) for some patients, particularly those with more severe symptoms. Clinical uncertainty exists regarding the optimal treatment strategies (and treatment combinations) that work best for specific populations and settings. In this report, we seek to evaluate the accuracy of brief assessment tools to identify OCD in symptomatic youth (Key Question [KQ] 1) and the effects and harms of treatment options for youth with OCD (KQ2). Methods. We searched Medline®, Cochrane, Embase®, CINAHL®, and ClinicalTrials.gov from inception to May 15, 2024. After double screening, we extracted study data, assessed risk of bias, and conducted network and pairwise meta-analyses. We evaluated the strength of evidence (SoE) using standard methods. The protocol was registered in PROSPERO (registration number CRD42023461212). Results. We found 117 studies (reported in 161 papers) that met inclusion criteria. Of these, 31 cross-sectional studies pertained to KQ1, diagnosis of OCD. For KQ 2, treatment of OCD, we included 71 randomized controlled trials, 2 nonrandomized comparative studies, and 13 single-arm studies that reported potential treatment effect modifiers. For KQ1, there is insufficient evidence regarding most brief assessment tools. Based on nine studies, the Child Behavior Checklist-Obsessive Compulsive subscale (CBCL-OCS) may have sufficiently high sensitivity and specificity to identify patients for specialist referral and diagnostic evaluation (moderate SoE). For KQ2, meta-analyses indicate that in-person ERP is more effective for OCD symptoms when compared to either waitlist (high SoE) or behavioral control (moderate SoE), and for remission when compared to waitlist (high SOE) or behavioral control (moderate SoE). ERP via telehealth is more effective than waitlist for OCD symptoms (high SoE) and remission (moderate SoE). SSRIs are more effective than placebo for OCD symptoms and global severity (high SoE). Clomipramine is probably more effective than placebo (moderate SoE). When used together, ERP and an SSRI are probably more effective than treatment with an SSRI alone for OCD symptoms (moderate SoE). ERP combined with an SSRI are as effective as ERP alone for OCD symptoms (high SoE). The side effects of SSRIs and clomipramine were inconsistently reported, precluding graded conclusions. Augmentation of ERP with D-cycloserine is as effective as ERP alone to reduce OCD symptoms (high SoE) or global severity (moderate SoE). The evidence was insufficient regarding potential effect modifiers. Conclusion. The diagnosis of OCD relies on expert clinical evaluation, sometimes augmented by semi-structured interviews. The CBCL-OCS may be sufficiently accurate to indicate which youth should be further evaluated for OCD. ERP, delivered in-person or via telehealth, is an effective treatment for OCD in children and adolescents. ERP, alone or in combination with an SSRI, is probably more effective than treatment with an SSRI alone.

Veland, Siri, e Christine Merk. Lay person perceptions of marine carbon dioxide removal (CDR) – Working paper. OceanNETs, julho de 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.3289/oceannets_d3.3.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This working paper presents first insights on lay public perceptions of marine carbon dioxide removal (CDR) approaches. In seven focus groups, three in Germany and four in Norway (including one pilot) the researchers asked members of the lay public to share their views of the ocean and the effects of climate change, four CDR approaches, as well as their reflections on responsible research and innovation (RRI) of marine CDR. The four CDR methods were ocean iron fertilization, ocean alkalinity enhancement, artificial upwelling, and blue carbon management through restoration of coastal and marine ecosystems. In addition, respondents were asked to compare the four approaches. Our findings indicate that the public will be very supportive of blue carbon management irrespective of its actual carbon sequestration potential, due in part to the perceived bad state of marine ecosystems worldwide. Participants were skeptical whether any of the CDR approaches could have relevant effect on carbon sequestration and long-term storage; they reasoned about issues such as the ability to scale up treatments in time and space, unforeseen or unforeseeable effects on ecosystems in time and space, and the role of industry in the implementation process. They argued that despite the potential availability of marine CDR, industry and the general public should stop polluting behaviors and practices. Nevertheless, the participants universally agreed that further research on all four CDR methods should be pursued to better understand effects on climate, ecosystems, local communities, and the economy.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
The subject of the study is the cooperation of S. Efremov with Western Ukrainian periodicals as a page in the history of Ukrainian journalism which covers the relationship of journalists and scientists of Eastern and Western Ukraine at the turn of the XIX-XX centuries. Research methods (biographical, historical, comparative, axiological, statistical, discursive) develop the comprehensive disclosure of the article. As a result of scientific research, the origins of Ukrainocentrism in the personality of S. Efremov were clarified; his person as a public figure, journalist, publisher, literary critic is multifaceted; taking into account the specifics of the memoir genre and with the involvement of the historical context, the turning points in the destiny of the author of memoirs are interpreted, revealing cooperation with Western Ukrainian magazines and newspapers. The publications ‘Zoria’, ‘Narod’, ‘Pravda’, ‘Bukovyna’, ‘Dzvinok’, are secretly got into sub-Russian Ukraine, became for S. Efremov a spiritual basis in understanding the specifics of the national (Ukrainian) mass media, ideas of education in culture of Ukraine at the end of XIX century, its territorial integrity, and state independence. Memoirs of S. Efremov on cooperation with the iconic Galician journals ‘Notes of the Scientific Society after the name Shevchenko’ and ‘Literary-Scientific Bulletin’, testify to an important stage in the formation of the author’s worldview, the expansion of the genre boundaries of his journalism, active development as a literary critic. S. Yefremov collaborated most fruitfully and for a long time with the Literary-Scientific Bulletin, and he was impressed by the democratic position of this publication. The author’s comments reveal a long-running controversy over the publication of a review of the new edition of Kobzar and thematically related discussions around his other literary criticism, in which the talent of the demanding critic was forged. S. Efremov steadfastly defended the main principles of literary criticism: objectivity and freedom of author’s thought. The names of the allies of the Ukrainian idea L. Skochkovskyi, O. Lototskyi, O. Konyskyi, P. Zhytskyi, M. Hrushevskyi in S. Efremov’s memoirs unfold in multifaceted portrait descriptions and function as historical and cultural facts that document the pages of the author’s biography, record his activities in space and time. The results of the study give grounds to characterize S. Efremov as the first professional Ukrainian-speaking journalist.

Friedrich-Karnik, Amy, Isabel DoCampo e Candace Gibson. Medication Abortion Remains Critical to State Abortion Provision as Attacks on Access Persist. Guttmacher Institute, fevereiro de 2025. https://doi.org/10.1363/300639.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
New data from the Guttmacher Institute reaffirm that medication abortion is a fundamental component of abortion provision in states across the country, even as anti-abortion policymakers use all levers of government to target this safe and effective method of abortion care. For the first time, Guttmacher’s Monthly Abortion Provision Study includes state-level estimates of the proportion of abortions provided via medication in 2023 in states without total abortion bans. It also provides data on the proportion of abortions provided by online-only clinics in 2023 in states without total bans or bans on telemedicine provision. As we learn more about how people access abortion care across the states in a post-Roe v. Wade environment, many policy attacks on medication abortion now target telemedicine provision or attempt to unnecessarily complicate the process of prescribing and dispensing medication abortion in person. And, despite clear medical evidence demonstrating the safety and efficacy of medication abortion obtained in-person or online, anti-abortion policymakers often ignore that evidence and promote false claims about risks.

Industrial Waste Management Planning; case study Kheang Khoi, Saraburi province is a project aims to investigate status of industrial waste management and present performance of industrial investors, government office and other related agencies on this aspect. It also aims to analyze Jaw and regulation involved in industrial waste management. The selected cases used in the study are factories located in Kheang Khoi. The criteria of the selection is that the factories to be invested more than 100 million Baht or be operated by a machine from 50 house power up, and used a sophisticated technology either in the production process or treatment plant. The method used in this study is interview and analyzing related documents. The key person to be interviewed were managers of the factories, government officer and related person from other agencies. The study found that in Kheang Khoi, mainly problem of air pollution are from cement plant and other fiber industries. Whereas wastewater is the problem from agricultural product factories. There are only 5 from total 21 factories have done an Environmental Impact Assessment Study. This is because most of the factories have been operated before Environmental Act 1978 which is the first year of an EIA requirement for some type of industries. However, most of factories have to prepared treatment plant depending on conditions assigned by Factory Act. In addition, some factories realized on environmental problem and be willing to install treatment plant or equipment, especially that treatment may benefit them back. Therefore, the measure that government should prepare for improving industrial waste management include education, economical incentives, and support on research for recycle technique or clean technology.

Women's perceptions on the effects of COVID-19 on access and use of private sector family planning services in Nigeria: The IntegratE Project. Population Council, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.31899/sbsr2021.1019.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
In Nigeria, Community Pharmacists (CPs) and Patent and Proprietary Medicine Vendors (PPMVs) are the first point of care for many common illnesses. Although CPs and PPMVs are not formally recognized as family planning (FP) service providers, 22% of modern contraceptive users report receiving their last method from a PPMV and 12% from a private pharmacy. PPMVs are popular for FP because of their widespread availability, consistent drug stocks, extended hours, personable interactions, and lack of separate fees for consultations. As in many places, the COVID-19 pandemic poses unprecedented challenges to health services in Nigeria. By limiting person-to-person contact, especially during initial lockdowns, there were concerns regarding disruptions in access to, and use of, FP especially among populations already experiencing high unmet need. The IntegratE Project (2017-21) seeks to increase access to contraceptive methods by involving the private sector in FP service delivery in Lagos and Kaduna states. The Project is simultaneously raising awareness about the FP that CPs and PPMVs provide. This brief focuses on understanding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on FP use among women receiving services from CPs and PPMVs.
