From safety assessment to research in the domain of human factors: the case of operation with computerised procedures

This paper looks at the notion of safety assessment supporting research as developed by the Institute for Nuclear Safety and Protection in the human factor domain. Firstly, the authors list the main issues identified when assessing the safety of computerised procedures from the human factor point of view. They then present the methodology used to gather and analyse data in an attempt to derive further into the issues by means of research. The approach presented consists of trying to describe and understand the cognitive activity of the operators when they are operating a nuclear unit using a computerised procedure. The first results from this research are illustrated through an example.

New generation airborne embedded system has deployed Graphical Processing Units (GPUs) to raise processing capability to meet growing computational demands. Comparing with the cloud system, the airborne embedded system usually has a fixed application set, but strict real-time constraints. Unfortunately, the inherent GPU scheduler does not consider the application priority, which cannot provide the sufficient real-time capability to the airborne embedded system. To meet timeliness requirements, it is necessary to predict timing behaviors of those applications and design a real-time scheduling policy based on priority and deadline. We therefore propose WAMP<inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$^2$</tex-math><alternatives><mml:math><mml:msup><mml:mrow/><mml:mn>2</mml:mn></mml:msup></mml:math><inline-graphic xlink:href="yao-ieq2-3134269.gif"/></alternatives></inline-formula>S, a workload-aware GPU performance model based pseudo-preemptive real-time scheduling algorithm for the airborne embedded system. The workload-aware GPU performance model can accurately predict the execution time of an application, which is running concurrently with other applications on GPU. The pseudo-preemptive real-time scheduling algorithm can provide the approximate preemption by dynamically adjusting GPU computing resources for active applications.

A new formula for secondary emission yield

Mathematical expressions for the secondary emission yield as a function of impact voltage and direction are required by computer programs for ray tracing, which are also intended to follow secondary trajectories. It is shown that the accuracy requirements are quite severe for lower voltage impacts, up to about three times V/sub max/ (where V/sub max/ is the voltage at which the normal secondary emission ratio reaches its maximum value, delta /sub max/), but are less stringent above this range. A new formula for the low-voltage region, which agrees with experimental data better than the formula of R.G. Lye and A.J. Dekker (1957), is proposed. For the voltage region above 4 V/sub max/, the Lye and Dekker formula is retained, with a smooth transition centered between 3 and 4 V/sub max/. The directional effect is modeled by adjusting the values of delta /sub max/ and V/sub max/ before applying either formula, rather than applying either Bruining's or Muller's correction factor afterward. This results in an automatic modeling of the known absence of any appreciable directional effect below about half V/sub max/. Some experimental verification of the formula used to modify delta /sub max/ is presented. >
Transmission Line Matrix (TLM) modeling of 1D phononic crystals

In this paper an acoustic Transmission Line Matrix (TLM) method for the calculation of phononic band gaps is presented. It is applied to the study of 1D propagation of longitudinal waves in a MEMS Silicon thin structure. The system is modeled as a series of acoustic transmission lines with different characteristic impedances representing the two phononic materials with different Young’s modulus and mass density. The phononic band gap predicted by this model is verified against FEM results. Further application of the model to the design of 1D phononic crystals shows that increasing the holes length lx of phononic crystal shifts the band gap towards lower frequencies. The broadening effect of band gaps was related to the filling factor. This broadening was found to reach it maximum when the lattice constant of the two phononic crystals are the same.
Three Dimensional Surface Patterning Atop Poly(methyl Methacrylate) (PMMA)

We demonstrate a novel approach to fabricate three dimensional (3-D) surface patterns atop poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA). This approach utilizes both shape recovery behavior and swelling phenomenon of the PMMA. The simplicity in the fabrication process affirms the low-cost nature of this approach. Moreover, as obtained 3-D patterned PMMA sample can be used as artificial compound eye.
MELESTARIKAN BUDAYA DI TENGAH PANDEMI (Studi Kasus Rasulan di Gunungkidul)

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization menilai bahwa Indonesia adalah negara super power dalam hal kebudayaan. Menurut data Kementerian Pendidikan dan Kebudayaan 2020, Indonesia memiliki 10.224 warisan budaya tak benda yang salah satu diantaranya adalah Rasulan. Rasulan merupakan budaya masyarakat Yogyakarta khususnya di Kabupaten Gunungkidul. Rasulan diperingati setiap tahun ketika musim panen sebagai ungkapan rasa syukur kepada Sang Pencipta. Namun di tahun ini masyarakat sedang dilanda Coronavirus Disease 2019 yang merubah berbagai tatanan kehidupan di dunia seperti kesehatan, ekonomi, dan sosial budaya. Pemerintah mengeluarkan kebijakan Pembatasan Sosial Berskala Besar, karantina diberbagai wilayah, dan beberapa hal lain yang membatasi pergerakan masyarakat. Pandemi ini dapat menjadi salah satu penghambat pelestarian budaya lokal seperti Rasulan. Perubahan pola hidup masyarakat akibat pandemi juga akan menimbulkan budaya baru yang cenderung akan melupakan budaya lokal. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan teknik studi pustaka dalam mengumpulkan data. Selain sebagai ungkapan rasa syukur Rasulan tahun ini dijadikan sebagai momentum masyarakat untuk berdoa bersama agar terhindar dari berbagai penyakit dan malapetaka. Strategi masyarakat untuk melestarikan budaya Rasulan di tengah pandemi dilakukan dengan prosesi yang lebih sederhana, tetap memperhatikan protokol kesehatan, dan hanya dihadiri oleh tokoh tetua masyarakat sekitar seperti kepala desa, sesepuh desa, tokoh keagamaan, dan kepala dusun. Kata Kunci: Rasulan, Pandemi, Budaya
An Analysis of Open Source Business Models

Open source software products provide access to the source code (or basic instructions) in addition to executable programs, and allow for this source code to be modified and redistributed. This freedom is a rarity in an industry where software makers carefully guard the source code as intellectual property. In making the source code freely available, a large number of developers are able to work on the product. All software companies exist to make maximum profits. Therefore, it is common for these corporations to seek out new ways of generating revenues and reducing costs. Increasingly, companies are using open source as a business strategy to achieve both these objectives. In this paper, our focus is on explicating the different business models that we see in the open-source arena.
Seminar on research results: the violation of the maxim of quantity produced by the undergraduate students at the english department STKIP YPUP Makassar

This study aims at analyzing the violation of the maxim of quantity produced by undergraduate students in research seminar and the reason why they violate this kind of maxim. The researchers applied qualitative research design by using observation and in-depth interview. Four undergraduate students were the participants of this research recruiting using purposive random sampling. The results show that most of the participants violated the maxim of quantity by doing circumlocution (not to the point), providing more explanation, and talking too much. They considered that it was valuable for them to provide more information than needed to obtain the attention of the examiners. They assume that the more they speak the good outcome for their research seminar will be accomplished because having more explanation means they master their research content well.
Accelerated hypofractionated radiotherapy for chest wall and nodal irradiation using hybrid techniques

Abstract Aim: This study compares three different hybrid plans, for left-sided chest wall (CW) and nodal stations irradiation using a hypofractionated dose regimen. Materials and methods: Planning target volumes (PTVs) of 25 breast cancer patients that included CW, supraclavicular (SCL) and internal mammary node (IMN) were planned with 3 different hybrid techniques: 3DCRT+IMRT, 3DCRT+VMAT and IMRT+VMAT. All hybrid plans were generated with a hypofractionated dose prescription of 40·5 Gy in 15 fractions. Seventy per cent of the dose was planned with the base-dose component and remaining 30% of the dose was planned with the hybrid component. All plans were evaluated based on the PTVs and organs at risk (OARs) dosimetric parameters. Results: The results for PTVs parameters have shown that the 3DCRT+IMRT and 3DCRT+VMAT plans were superior in uniformity index to the IMRT+VMAT plan. The OARs dose parameters were comparable between hybrid plans. The IMRT+VMAT plan provided a larger low dose volume spread to the heart and ipsilateral lung (p < 0·001). The 3DCRT+VMAT plan required less monitor units and treatment time (p = 0·005) than other plans. Conclusion: The 3DCRT+VMAT hybrid plan showed superior results with efficient treatment delivery and provide clinical benefit by reducing both low and high dose levels.
Study on Application of GPR to Quality Detection of Tunnel Lining

Ground penetrating radar (GPR) is a real-time, non-destructive testing technique using high frequency radio waves that can yield data with very high spatial resolution and the data can be acquired rapidly. It uses high frequency radio waves to inspect the interior of concrete structures and is widely used for tunnel construction due to its fastness, accuracy, continuity etc. The paper takes a tunnel as an example, systematically introduced the work principles of GPR and elaborates on the successful application of GPR to quality detection of the tunnel lining. To mainly analyze the quality of tunnel lining such as lining thickness, non compact, cavity, crack etc. It is important to eliminate the hidden dangers during the tunnel operation, and also give experiences and references for the quality detection of the similar tunnel construction.
η-∗-Ricci Solitons and Almost co-Kähler Manifolds

The subject of the present paper is the investigation of a new type of solitons, called η-∗-Ricci solitons in (k,μ)-almost co-Kähler manifold (briefly, ackm), which generalizes the notion of the η-Ricci soliton introduced by Cho and Kimura. First, the expression of the ∗-Ricci tensor on ackm is obtained. Additionally, we classify the η-∗-Ricci solitons in (k,μ)-ackms. Next, we investigate (k,μ)-ackms admitting gradient η-∗-Ricci solitons. Finally, we construct two examples to illustrate our results.
Ricostruzione di una scena urbana 3D utilizzando VisualSfM.

New computer vision techniques use photo dataset to rapidly build detailed 3D models. Computer- vision researchers have explored many approaches to city-scale 3D reconstruc on. Among these systems stands out VisualSfM developed by the University of Washington & Google Inc. It is a open source GUI applica on of a Structure from Mo on (SfM) so! ware that uses a feature extractor called Si! GPU and the Mul core Bundle Adjustment. In addi on it embeds the CMVS/ PMVS2 able to reconstruct dense 3D point cloud. Our goal is to demonstrate the metric accuracy of VisualSfM+CMVS/PMVS2 and that to get run it, you can use an unstructured photo dataset but the result improves if you use a structured photo dataset. The approach has been tested on several large datasets with structured images.
The Future of Function Allocation

S. F. SCALLEN N THE INAUGURAL ISSUE OF Ergonomics in Design, Robert Fuld provided a severe criticism of function allocation as a practical design process (Fuld, 1993). His thesis, backed by his own experience, was that formal function allocation was a problematic and frustrating way to pursue practical design. Yet such function allocation was still being championed in many of the major textbooks in human factors/ergonomics. We were not surprised by his criticisms, but we were concerned by the absence of response. If silence connotes acceptance, it appears that the human factors community is in agreement with Fuld over the failure of function allocation. This is a disturbing prospect. Surely, the allocation of tasks to humans and machines lies at the very heart of human factors and is critical for system design. Indeed, who does what surely must remain a crucial factor in the design of any future human-machine system. If we accept Fuld's criticism, we must also accept that the conception of function allocation is flawed or, perhaps worse, totally inoperable in practice. Where does such a conclusion leave our field? Is human factors/ergonomics then merely a collection of ad hoc heuristics? Are we destined to have no function allocation principles other than the apocryphal "common sense? " What is the state of our discipline and profession if such conclusions are accepted? As one group that has been working on function allocation, we were disturbed by the implications of Fuld's criticism, and perhaps more disturbed that significant discussions of the issue did not immediately follow. Those of us in human factors/ergonomics must always be prepared to refute the "egg-sucking" argument (Flach, 1989; Simon, 1987), which, in its crudest terms, states, "As I am human, and (perhaps) also an engineer, therefore I am a human factors engineer. " In what follows, we do not seek to engage in this particular polemic, nor do we seek to refute the specific arguments made by Fuld, because we are in agreement with many of the points that he makes. Rather, we seek to illustrate why what we call static task allocation has failed as a design process and, further, what contemporary developments have been made in dynamic task allocation that can answer such concerns.
Surgical and oncological outcome after extended lymph node dissection for carcinoma of the stomach and the esophagogastric junction: a retrospective analysis from an experienced single center

Introduction Gastric cancer remains the fourth leading cause of cancer-related death in Europe, while the proportion of adenocarcinomas of the esophagogastric junction has risen by more than one third over recent years. In 2018, 14,700 new cases of gastric cancer were estimated in Germany, while the 5-year relative survival rate is reported to be 33% for women and 30% for men; in the USA almost the same rate was reported, with 31% 5-year survival. Material and methods Between 2001 and 2014, 590 patients with a diagnosis of gastric cancer underwent surgery in our institution, including 120 Siewert type II/III carcinomas of the esophagogastric junction. All patients underwent distal resection of the stomach, gastrectomy or total gastrectomy combined with transhiatal distal esophageal resection. All operations included D2-D3 lymph node dissection (LND). Data were recorded by the cancer registry of the department of surgery and analyzed retrospectively. Results The patients were classified according to the TNM (UICC 2010) and Lauren classification. 29% of the patients underwent primary surgery and 31% received neoadjuvant therapy. The median number of harvested lymph nodes was 33 for patients diagnosed with gastric cancer, and 29 for esophagogastric adenocarcinomas, respectively. The anastomotic leak rate was 3%. In this study, the 5-year overall survival rate was 51% concerning gastric carcinomas, 44% for Siewert type II and 47% for Siewert III cancers of the esophagogastric junction. Conclusions Increased survival with low complication rates were achieved after individualized and multimodal treatment concepts combined with consistently applied extended lymphadenectomy.
Study of scattering characteristic of thin ice‐water layers covered dielectric material utilizing hybrid implicit‐explicit finite difference time‐domain method

In the paper, a hybrid implicit‐explicit finite difference time‐domain (HIE‐FDTD) method is applied, and the related calculation formula of the HIE algorithm is derived in detail. Using the HIE‐FDTD method, the scattering characteristics of dielectric objects covered with very thin ice water layers are studied. The dispersive medium model of the mixture of water and ice is expressed in Debye form and can be calculated by the auxiliary difference equation technique. It is found that the change of the scattering characteristics of the water ice mixing layer mainly depends on the proportion of water in the ice water mixture, and describes the process of ice melting into water, which leads to the corresponding changes of reflectivity, transmittance, and absorptivity. Finally, the simulation results show that the HIE‐FDTD method has higher efficiency than the conventional FDTD without losing accuracy.

Gender stereotypes in UK children and adolescents: Changing patterns of knowledge and endorsement.

Across two studies, we investigated gender stereotype knowledge and endorsement in UK schoolchildren, and their impact on academic subject choice. In Study 1, children aged 9-11 (N = 68) and 13-15 (N = 61) completed a newly developed Gender Attribute scale assessing their knowledge and endorsement of gender stereotypes relating to academic subjects and occupations. Participants demonstrated gender stereotype knowledge and endorsement, although significantly higher knowledge than endorsement scores indicated a level of stereotype rejection. Stereotype knowledge was greater in the older age group, and older girls showed significantly higher levels of stereotype rejection than all other groups. In Study 2, children aged 13-15 (N = 165) completed the Gender Attribute scale and provided information on their school subject choices. Patterns of stereotype knowledge and endorsement followed those of Study 1. Subject choice information showed that boys selected significantly more masculine than feminine subjects, while girls chose a similar proportion of each. Further, boys' level of gender stereotype endorsement predicted their subject choices, while girls' did not. We suggest that in contemporary UK some progress is being made in relation to girls challenging stereotypes that work against them but that more work is needed to encourage boys into female-dominated disciplines.
Intergenerational transmission of personality disorder severity and the role of psychosocial risk factors.

BACKGROUND Familial influences on the development of many psychopathologies are well recognised, yet the psychosocial risk factors that could help explain apparently intergenerational continuities of personality disorder (PD) are less well understood. AIMS To establish whether there is an association between the severity of PD in men and their offspring in a community cohort, and whether factors recognised as having the potential to increase risk of psychopathology mediate this. METHODS Participants in the Cambridge Study in Delinquent Development (n = 452 dyads) were assessed using the Tyrer and Johnson model of PD severity. Severe PD was defined as antisocial PD plus at least one other PD from a different cluster. Original participants were assessed by interview and their offspring by screening questionnaire. Chi-square tests and mediation models were used to investigate the intergenerational continuity of PD severity and its relationship with psychosocial risk factors. RESULTS An association between severe PD in fathers and severe PD in their offspring was confirmed, regardless of whether the offspring were male or female. Whilst preliminary tests suggested that employment problems, poor parental supervision and family disruption we associated with severe PD in daughters, mediation analysis suggested that these variables had very little effect once severity of father's disorder was in the model. CONCLUSIONS Psychosocial risk factors appear to play a limited role in the intergenerational transmission of PD severity, although future studies should take account of interaction data, for example, quality and quantity of paternal interaction given a child's temperamental traits.
Profiling Adolescent Consumer Decision-Making Styles: Effects of Socialization Agents and Social-Structural Variables

This study examined adolescent consumer decision-making styles from the perspective of consumer socialization. Adolescent consumers (n = 1,954) from 29 high schools in a southwestern state returned usable survey questionnaires. As a result of cluster analysis and multivariate analysis of variance, three groups of consumers were identified and labeled as Value-Maximizing Recreational Shoppers, Brand-Maximizing Non-Utilitarian Shoppers, and Apathetic Shoppers. These three groups were subsequently compared as to the effects of socialization agents and social structural variables. Multivariate analysis of covariance indicated that Value-Maximizing Recreational Shoppers were most associated with interaction with parents, exposure to printed media, and consumer education. Brand-Maximizing Non-Utilitarian Shoppers were closely related to peer influence and television commercials. Apathetic Shoppers had the least amount of association with all socialization agents. Social structural variables such as gender, ethnicity, and job status were also different among all three groups. Theoretical, managerial, and educational implications are provided based on the results.
