Hearing prosocial stories increases Hadza hunter-gatherers’ generosity in an economic game
Authors: Smith Kristopher M , Apicella Coren Lee
Published: July 2022

Folk stories featuring prosocial content are ubiquitous across cultures. One explanation for the ubiquity of such stories is that stories teach people about the local socioecology, including norms of prosociality, and stories featuring prosocial content may increase generosity in listeners. We tested this hypothesis in a sample of 185 Hadza hunter-gatherers. We read participants a story in which the main character either swims with another person (control story) or rescues him from drowning (prosocial story). After hearing the story, participants played a dictator game with meat sticks and then were given a recall test of facts presented in the story. There was moderate evidence for a small effect of the prosocial story: participants who heard the prosocial story gave an estimated 9.3% more than those who heard the control story. However, the association between generosity and sex, marital status, and region of residence was stronger; men gave more than women, unmarried participants gave more than married participants, and participants living in a region with more exposure to markets gave more than participants living further from markets. There was no evidence that the prosocial story was more easily recalled than the control story. These results provide some support for the hypothesis that prosocial stories can increase prosociality in listeners, though the effect of hearing a single story is small.
“Treat GTAs as Colleagues, Rather than Spare Parts”: The Identity, Agency, and Wellbeing of Graduate Teaching Assistants
Authors: Slack Hannah Rachael , Pownall Madeleine
Published: July 2022

In recent years, the wellbeing of students and staff in Higher Education has received increased attention in pedagogical research. However, the experiences of Graduate Teaching Assistants (GTAs), or PhD researchers who teach alongside their doctoral studies, are notably absent from this literature. In this mixed-methods study, we examined predictors of GTA’s wellbeing in UK institutions. This demonstrated that greater perceived agency and lower levels of over-commitment predicted higher wellbeing. Other variables, including social identity, role pride, work/life balance, effort-reward imbalance, and perceived effectiveness of teaching, did not predict wellbeing. We also qualitatively examined the identity management practices of GTAs, using a brief story completion task. A reflexive thematic analysis generated two dominant themes, (1) the ‘paradox of credibility’, whereby GTAs reported grappling with a concern to be perceived as credible and worthy of teaching whilst also managing student expectations about their own knowledge, and (2) GTAs’ desire to use their staff-student role to engage in ‘approachability and advocacy’ with and for students. We end with a set of recommendations for Higher Education Institutions that employ GTAs, informed by first-hand accounts of lived experiences.

Authors: Xiao Zhuoni , Obsuth Ingrid , Meinck Franziska , Murray Aja Louise
Published: July 2022

Though links between childhood maltreatment and mental health have been established, little known about how specific types of childhood maltreatment tend to cluster and how the resulting patterns of exposure impact mental health outcomes. The current study used latent profile analyses in Chinese (N = 544) and UK (N = 589) samples to identify childhood psychological maltreatment profiles (i.e., profiles of psychological abuse, psychological neglect, and psychological non-support) in different country contexts, and their associations with a range of mental health (i.e., depression, anxiety, anger, physical aggression, verbal aggression, and hostility), and broader well-being (i.e., self-esteem) outcomes. Four profiles were identified in both samples, but their nature differed between the Chinese sample (“Psychological Non-support”, “Low-Maltreated”, “High-Maltreated”, and “Severe-Maltreated”) and the UK sample (“Low-Maltreated”, “Moderate-Maltreated”, “High-Maltreated”, and “Severe-Maltreated”). Individuals in the “Psychological Non-support” in China and “Low-Maltreated” class in the UK displayed better mental health outcomes – lower levels of depression, anxiety, and aggression, and higher self-esteem. In contrast, individuals in the “Sever-Maltreated” profiles in both the Chinese and UK samples displayed poorer mental health outcomes – higher depression, anxiety, and aggression, and lower self-esteem. Interventions and prevention efforts are needed for individuals categorized in the “Sever-Maltreated” profile. Further research is needed to illuminate contextual differences in psychological maltreatment profiles and their links to mental health.
Characterizing human habits in the lab
Authors: Nebe Stephan , Kretzschmar Andre , Tobler Philippe N.
Published: July 2022

Habits pose a fundamental puzzle for those aiming to understand human behavior. They pervade our everyday lives and dominate some forms of psychopathology but are extremely hard to elicit in the lab. In this Registered Report, we develop novel experimental paradigms grounded in computational models, which suggest that habit strength should be proportional to the frequency of behavior and, in contrast to previous research, independent of value. Specifically, we manipulate how often participants perform responses in two tasks varying action repetition without, or separately from, variations in value. Moreover, we ask how this frequency-based habitization relates to value-based operationalizations of habit and self-reported propensities for habitual behavior in real life. (This is the first stage of a Registered Report in-principle-accepted by Collabra: Psychology.)
Comparing fixed-array and functionally-defined channel of interest approaches to infant functional near-infrared spectroscopy data
Authors: Liu Yiyu , Sanchez Hernandez Fernando , Ting Fransisca , Hyde Daniel C.
Published: July 2022

Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is increasingly used to study brain function in infants, but the development and standardization of analysis techniques for use with infant fNIRS data have not paced other technical advances. Here we quantify and compare the effects of different methods of analysis of infant fNIRS data on two independent fNIRS datasets involving 6-9-month-old infants and a third simulated infant fNIRS dataset. With each, we contrast results from a traditional, fixed-array analyses with several functional channel of interest (fCOI) analysis approaches. In addition, we tested the effects of varying the number and anatomical location of potential data channels to be included in the fCOI definition. Over three studies we find that fCOI approaches are more sensitive than fixed-array analyses, especially when channels of interests were defined within-subjects. Applying anatomical restriction and/or including multiple channels in the fCOI definition does not decrease and in some cases increases sensitivity of fCOI methods. Based on these results, we recommend that researchers consider employing fCOI approaches to the analysis of infant NIRS data and provide some guidelines for choosing between particular fCOI approaches and settings for the study of infant brain function and development.
A brief decentering-based mindfulness strategy reduces pandemic-related anxiety: A mixed-methods experiment
Authors: Tatar Betül , Papies Esther K.
Published: July 2022

Decentering is a key component of mindfulness, conceptualised as a metacognitive insight into the transience of one’s mental experiences (Safran & Segal, 1990). In this preregistered mixed-methods experiment, we examined the effectiveness of a brief decentering-based mindfulness strategy in curbing anxiety related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants (N = 316; non-meditators) were instructed to identify a pandemic-related worry. They selected worries related to physical health, job insecurity, finances, education, loneliness, and the current and future impact of COVID-19. Participants then listened to decentering or control instructions, and in the main task, they applied these instructions to their worry for one minute. We measured state anxiety and vividness of worry imagery both before and after the main task. We also collected qualitative survey data on participants’ experiences of applying the instructions, and analysed these data using thematic analysis. The quantitative findings were in line with our hypothesis that imagery of pandemic-related worries positively predicted state anxiety in the control condition (β = 0.37, p < .001). Also as predicted, decentering reduced state anxiety compared to the control condition (β = -0.51, p < .001). The predicted interaction of vividness of worry imagery and condition was not significant when a composite pre- and post-task imagery score was used (β = -0.11, p = .099), but was significant in exploratory analyses using only the post-task imagery score (β = -0.20, p = .004). This suggests that decentering reduced the link between vivid worry imagery experienced during the task and anxiety experienced afterwards. Qualitative analyses showed that some participants applied an accurate version of the instructions, but others misunderstood the instructions. Participants reported a wide range of outcomes such as developing a different way of relating to experiences, relaxation, and reduced negative affect. Together, these findings provide evidence that the brief decentering-based mindfulness strategy studied here may be an effective way to reduce anxiety, and potentially to reduce the link between imagery and anxiety. These findings are applicable not only to the pandemic, but also to other distressing and unpredictable contexts.
The applicability of Big Five facets and Dark Tetrad traits on Yukio Mishima’s novel protagonists
Authors: Boman Bjorn
Published: July 2022

Psychological accounts of literature research are chiefly associated with a psychoanalytical nomenclature, while research on personality psychology like the Five Factor Model and the Dark Tetrad has mostly been investigated using questionnaires and quantitative statistics. However, building upon a lexical understanding of the 30 Big Five personality facets, in tandem with the application of Dark Tetrad traits on popular culture analysis initiated by Jonason et al., this article analyses the personality profiles of five fictional protagonists, specifically five well-known novels of the renowned Japanese author Yukio Mishima.

Factors Affecting Biology Lesson Motivation in Secondary School Students
Authors: Regmi Rabin , Devkota Balak
Published: July 2022

Motivation is a theoretical construct used to explain the initiations, direction, intensity, persistence and quantity of behaviour. It is an important determinant of learning and its outcomes, as expressed in academic performances. The proper study of motivational factors is a prerequisite for students’ effective motivation toward learning. So, a teacher should accept the effect of motivation in the instructional process and should keep knowledge of factors influencing motivation during the learning process. Hence, this study evaluates the factors affecting biology lesson motivation in secondary level students under quantitative research design. The sample of the study was randomly selected 200 students (51.5% girls and 48.5% boys) from grades nine and ten from five government-managed secondary schools. The research data was collected using a questionnaire developed by Glynn and Koballa (2006) as a science lesson motivation questionnaire and adapted by Ekici (2009) as a biology lesson motivation questionnaire. The data were analyzed by applying quantitative procedures using Statistical Program for the Social Sciences. The result generally indicates that students feel biology is an interesting subject with practical value relevant to their lives. Though the students were not confident on their Biology tests and were not receiving grade motivation, they were not greatly worried about the biology tests. Self-determination is the major motivating factor with the highest mean score of 4.170, followed by career motivation (3.890), intrinsic motivation, and personal relevance. Grade motivation has least role in Biology lesson motivation. Moreover, there is a significant correlation (r= 0.592) of intrinsic motivation and personal relevance with self-efficacy and assessment anxiety. There is low correlation between Self-efficacy and assessment anxiety and Self-determination but is significant.

Kebijakan Rusia untuk Bertahan Menghadapi Sanksi Ekonomi Uni-Eropa di Tahun 2016-2020 Melalui Strategi Import Substitution
Authors: Mahendra Igo Ilham
Published: July 2022

In the dynamics of Russia's relations with the European Union, at the beginning of the administration of President Vladimir Putin, Russia tried to approach the European Union as a trading partner. However, after Russia's intervention in Ukraine and the annexation of Crimea and the imposition of economic sanctions by the European Union on Russia in 2014, relations between the two entities became strained. Both parties impose sanctions on each other. Russia and the EU are two entities that have not much different influence and power. Therefore, this theme is important as an analysis of Russia's defense stance against the European Union Economic sanctions in 2016-2020 through the Import Substitution strategy. The author uses a national interest approach to analyze this problem. In this paper the author argues that the Import Substitution strategy is a form of policy to survive the economic sanctions of the European Union and as Russia's national interest over economic sovereignty.
Proposing a New Term for Organizational Behavior Literature

Published: July 2022

In spite of threatening external factors such as uncertain environmental structure and market pitfalls, the companies struggling with the difficulty of retaining the current customer and finding the potential ones should first realize the existence of “Achilles Tendons” within themselves. To prevent this potential problem, they should focus on the labor which can be a very substantial weak point and an important asset as well. Regarding serious problems arisen from labor force, this study proposes a new term called as “Achilles Tendon Syndrome” to be used in organizational behavior literature. Various theories from different disciplines such as medicine, psychology, physics, economics and sociology support development process of the term. Similarities and differences with other close concepts are also provided throughout the paper. The current study aims to inspire future studies by filling an important gap in the organization and management literature.
Determinants of Green Electronic Devices Purchasing Decisions: with Special Reference to Young, Educated Consumers in Sri Lanka
Authors: I.D.K. Ranganath  , G.P.K. Nishadi
Published: July 2022

Purpose: This research is to examine the determinants of green electronic purchasing decisions of young, educated consumers in Sri Lanka.

Design/methodology/approach: This novel study is a conclusive research and deductive methodology was deployed as the study approach. Primary data were collected from 200 university students living in Southern Province in Sri Lanka based on convenient sampling method through a 23-item self-administered questionnaire.  After feeding data into SPSS 25.0, data were analysed using several statistical tools.  In here, Multiple Regression analysis was used to measure the impact of each of the key determinant on green electronic purchasing decisions of young, educated consumers.

Findings: Results indicated that there is a statistically significant impact of four determinants namely, Environmental Concern, Supporting Environmental Protection, Social Influence and Environmental Friendliness of Businesses, on young, educated consumers’ green electronic purchasing decisions in Southern Province, Sri Lanka. Among the four, Environmental Concern is the strongest determinant of purchasing decisions of green household electronics. 

Originality: This study contributes to the existing debates on green product purchasing decisions of young consumers.  Although, number of studies are available on green purchasing decisions among young consumers, the determinants of green electronic purchasing decisions of young, educated consumers are not well documented both in Sri Lankan as well as in international contexts.  So, findings of the present study fulfilled that current knowledge gap.

Implications: The current study provides good insights for both practitioners and theoreticians who want to identify the young consumers as environmentally conscious individuals. The paper concludes that marketing professionals need to relate green electronic devices with functional, emotional and experiential needs of consumers.

Keywords: Young Educated Consumers, Green Electronic Devices, Determinants of Green Consumption, Southern Province, Sri Lanka.

Pomen uporabe arhitekturnih načrtovalskih vzorcev pri razvoju mobilnih aplikacij
Authors: Pavlič Luka , Četina Luka
Published: July 2022

Izbira ustrezne arhitekture je pomemben in nujen korak razvoja mobilnih aplikacij za operacijski sistem Android. V članku predstavljamo sistematično primerjavo najbolj priljubljenih arhitekturnih načrtovalskih vzorcev in njihovo vlogo pri načrtovanju mobilnih aplikacij. Pri raziskovanju smo se omejili na osem arhitekturnih vzorcev iz kataloga Jetpack. Ugotoviti smo želeli, v kakšni meri ti vzorci vplivajo na potek in končni izid razvoja mobilnih aplikacij. Z uporabo vsakega izmed obravnavanih vzorcev smo razvili mobilno aplikacijo za operacijski sistem Android. Zanimalo nas je, kako se aplikacije, razvite z uporabo arhitekturnih vzorcev, primerjajo z njihovimi alternativami. Razvili smo osem mobilnih aplikacij, ki izkoriščajo prednosti obravnavanih načrtovalskih vzorcev. V namen primerjave smo razvili osem dodatnih mobilnih aplikacij, pri katerih nismo uporabili ustreznih arhitekturnih vzorcev, temveč smo aplikacijo razvili brez njih. Tako razvite aplikacije smo primerjali po več kriterijih, med katerimi so bili poglavitni zahtevnost razvoja, čas razvoja ter vrednosti programskih metrik. Na podlagi tako pridobljenih podatkov smo argumentirali smiselnost uporabe vzorcev v podanih kontekstih. V članku tako pokažemo, da je razvoj mobilnih aplikacij z uporabo arhitekturnih vzorcev kataloga Jetpack ne samo manj zahteven, ampak je kljub večjemu številu komponent, obseg izvorne kode manjši. Ugotovili smo, da sta, presenetljivo, čas razvoja in notranja kakovost aplikacij kljub uporabi načrtovalskih vzorcev primerljiva z alternativnimi pristopi.
Kategorizacija uporabnikov na podlagi njihovega z informacijsko varnostjo povezanega znanja, stališč in vedenja: pilotna študija
Authors: Fujs Damjan , Vrhovec Simon , Vavpotič Damjan
Published: July 2022

V tem prispevku predstavljamo pristop za kategorizacijo uporabnikov, ki temelji na preverjenem vprašalniku o človeških vidikih informacijske varnosti (HAIS-Q). Na tej podlagi smo izvedli razvrščanje uporabnikov (N= 165). Analiza je pokazala tri skupine uporabnikov (uporabniki z nizkim, zmernim in visokim tveganjem). Izračunali smo indeks silhuete (0,44) za potrditev kakovosti razvrščanja, ki kaže na ustrezno kakovost razvrščanja. Naš pristop (kombinacija HAIS-Q in razvrščanja v skupine) omogoča prilagojeno usposabljanje uporabnikov, ki dosežejo najnižje vrednosti pri HAIS-Q in 2) uporabnikov, ki dosegajo splošno nizko tveganje, vendar se na nekaterih področjih odrežejo nekoliko slabše. V primerjavi s sorodnimi pristopi je naša prednost enostavnost uporabe in ublažitev pristranskosti, saj je pristop namenjen analiziranju skupin in ne posameznikov. Poleg tega naš pristop omogoča razvrščanje na podlagi prioritizacije spremenljivk, medtem ko obstoječe raziskave obravnavajo vse spremenljivke enako pomembne.

Published: July 2022

Napredno merjenje električne energije je tehnična rešitev za avtomatiziran obračun električne energije. Pametno omrežje je zgolj paradigma, kjer je električno omrežje z njegovimi uporabniki povezano z rešitvami informacijskih in komunikacijskih tehnologij za izboljšanje vseh funkcionalnosti omrežja. Za doseganje tega, je potrebno uporabiti razpoložljive podatke merilnih naprav, senzorjev, polnilnic in drugih naprav v omrežju. Vključevanje teh podatkov predstavlja številne izzive, saj niso vse naprave povezane s tradicionalnimi sistemi zajema podatkov. Predlagani delovni okvir omogoča zajem podatkov v skoraj realnem času z ustreznim komunikacijskim standardom. Slednje se doseže s pretvorbo podatkov v skladu s standardi za merjenje električne energije na podlagi XSD sheme in transformacije podatkov v formatu CIM. Dognali smo, da s predlaganim delovnim okvirjem čas intervala od zajema, transformiranja do končne razpoložljivosti, je štirikrat učinkovitejši od obstoječih.

Published: July 2022

Količina ustvarjenih podatkov otežuje njihovo obdelavo. V primeru nadzorovanega učenja lahko označevanje učnih primerov predstavlja dolgotrajno in drago nalogo. V dvorazrednih problemih primere označimo kot pozitivne ali negativne. V tem delu predpostavljamo, da imamo na voljo majhno število pozitivnih primerov in večje število neoznačenih primerov. Cilj generativnega pozitivnega in neoznačenega učenja je ustvariti označene primere, kar predstavlja strategijo za reševanje tega problema. Kljub temu generativni pristopi prinašajo pomanjkljivosti, kot so visoka računska zahtevnost, nestabilno učenje in nezmožnost ustvarjanja popolnoma označenih podatkovnih množic. V prispevku predlagamo nov generativni pristop, ki temelji na pomožnih klasifikacijskih generativnih nasprotniških mrežah. Nenegativno pozitivno in neoznačeno tveganje integriramo kot pomožno funkcijo izgube, da se naučimo porazdelitve pozitivnih in negativnih primerov. Na priznanem naboru podatkov za pozitivno in neoznačeno učenje prikažemo najsodobnejše rezultate. Rezultati kažejo, da naš pristop dosega primerljivo točnost z obstoječimi pristopi, kljub preprostejši arhitekturi, ima visoko učno stabilnost in generira nabor označenih podatkov.
Učinkovitost laboratorijskih vaj v virtualnem laboratoriju
Authors: Ciglarič Mojca
Published: July 2022

V obdobju epidemije Covid-19 so se študentje po vsem svetu soočali z daljšimi obdobji odrezanosti od svojih profesorjev, asistentov in kolegov študentov, saj so pedagoške dejavnosti potekale oddaljeno preko spletnih učilnic, virtualnih laboratorijev in telekonferenčnih platform. V okviru enega od predmetov na FRI smo skušali ovrednotiti učinkovitost laboratorijskih vaj v obliki oddaljenega učenja. Študente smo za del vsebine razdelili v dve skupini, ena je imela klasično frontalno poučevanje, druga pa se je učila praktičnih veščin oddaljeno s pomočjo elektronskih navodil. Učinkovitost učenja smo merili s številom točk, ki jih je študent za nalogo iz te vsebine dobil na izpitu. Pokazalo se je, da med skupinama ni bilo statistično značilnih razlik v znanju, kar pomeni, da takšne metode lahko uspešno vključujemo v poučevanje tudi takrat, ko nam tega ne predpisujejo vladne uredbe.

Organizacijska kultura je po ugotovitvah različnih raziskav eden izmed kritičnih dejavnikov uspeha prehoda na Podjetje 2.0, ki pome- ni uporabo družabnih tehnologij splet 2.0 za poslovne namene. Ni pa mogoče najti raziskave, ki bi poglobljeno analizirala, kako posa- mezna organizacijska kultura dejansko vpliva na uspešnost uvajanja teh tehnologij. Zato smo v okviru te raziskave s polstrukturirani- mi intervjuji z vodilnimi v podjetjih izvedli deset analiz primerov uvajanja orodij Podjetje 2.0 s poudarkom na analizi vpliva organizacij- ske kulture. Na tej podlagi smo oblikovali model, ki ga lahko podjetja uporabijo pri svojih strategijah uvajanja tehnologij Podjetje 2.0, tako da ugotovijo, katere tehnologije Podjetje 2.0 so sploh primerne za njihovo podjetje, ali pa z ustrezno spremembo organizacijske kulture pomembno vplivajo na uspešnost uvajanja tehnologij Podjetje 2.0. Poleg tega lahko s pomočjo ugotovitev raziskave bolje razumejo, kakšno stopnjo uporabe ter kakšne koristi od uporabe omenjenih orodij si lahko obetajo.

Pri analizi kriterijev, ki vplivajo na določitev optimalne politike oskrbe in vodenje zalog, smo uporabili orodje Orange. Ugotovili smo, da je model uporaben v praksi.
Community detection in Slovene public spending
Authors: Zavrtanik Vitjan , Šubelj Lovro
Published: July 2022

Government public spending is a very complicated system with many different endpoints as government funding has to be distributed to a large number of institutions which purchase goods and services using public funds from a large number of other public and private organizations. Even though there are mechanisms in place which control public spending by either entrusting control to a public institution or by giving them legal procedures they must follow in order to purchase a service, the procedures are sometimes unreliable or enable exploitation. These procedures often include public tenders and procurements which can often be exploited by the bidding private firms or public servants. We hypothesise that there are patterns in such behaviour which could perhaps be extracted by discovering communities in the transaction network connecting individuals by examining publicly available transaction data of public funds.
Izzivi integracije zdravstvenih aplikacij: Souporaba standardov OpenEHR in FHIR
Authors: Trkman Marina , Lapajne Mitja , Radović Božidarka
Published: July 2022

Veliko zdravstvenih aplikacij mora komunicirati med seboj. Prepisovanje podatkov iz ene aplikacije v drugo je nedopustno, saj se pri tem dogajajo napake, ki ogrožajo paciente. Ker želimo omogočiti avtomatski prenos podatkov iz ene v drugo aplikacijo, se je potrebno osredotočiti na zagotavljanje sintaktične in semantične interoperabilnosti. V članku prestavljamo primer integracije dveh zdravstvenih aplikacij v Angliji. Angleški NHS pri prenosu podatkov narekuje uporabo podatkovnih elementov standarda FHIR, s čimer dosežemo sintaktično interoperabilnost. Da bi dosegli semantično interoperabilnost, je potrebno zagotoviti, da se pomen konteksta pri prenosu ne spremeni. Cilja našega članka sta dva. Prvi je predstaviti predlog preslikave podatkovnih elementov iz standarda openEHR v integracijski standard imenovan FHIR. Drugi je ugotoviti, s katerimi izzivi se soočajo programerji ob uporabi standarda FHIR. V članku smo predstavili, kako angleška skupnost INTEROPen promovira uporabo razširjenega standarda CareConnect FHIR v angleškem zdravstvenem sistemu. Ugotovili smo, da temeljni izziv predstavlja prepisovanje podatkov iz enega standarda v drugega, saj ogroža pacientovo varnost, ker se lahko zgodijo napake pri prepisovanju. Tudi raznolika interpretacija pomena podatkovnih elementov objektov FHIR predstavlja izziv. In na zadnje tudi izdaje novih različic standarda FHIR, CareConnect FHIR in eksternih šifrantov. Ponudniki aplikacij, ki so povezane med seboj, morajo sodelovati, da sočasno umestijo nove spremembe v integriranih aplikacijah oziroma predvidijo morebitne napake in strategije za reševanje težav.

Published: July 2022

Spletni portal Sentimenter je namenjen prikazovanju sentimenta v medijskih objavah za različne družbene skupine. Te smo identificirali z interdisciplinarnim pristopom, pri čemer smo izhodiščne skupine določili z vprašalnikom ter metodo hierarhičnega razvrščanja v skupine, dokončno pa smo jih potrdili in izoblikovali z intervjuji in fokusnimi skupinami. Na podlagi družbenih skupin smo oblikovali zaslonske maske medijskega portala, ki so bile oblikovane iterativno v sodelovanju s končnimi uporabniki. V fokusni skupini smo s predstavniki petih družbenih skupin, ki smo jih definirali, portal pregledali in preoblikovali po meri ljudi. Celotna raziskava je trajala pol leta. Z interdisciplinarnimi pristopi, ki združujejo antropologijo in podatkovno rudarjenje, smo tako v kratkem času oblikovali izdelek, ki je uporabnikom prijazen, razumljiv in zanimiv.

Cross-linked polyampholyte nanogels consisting of neutral N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM), negatively charged sodium salt of 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonate (AMPS), and positively charged (3-acryl-amidopropyltrimethylammonium chloride (APTAC) monomers were synthesized via conventional redox ini-tiated free radical copolymerization using N,N-methylenebis(acrylamide) (MBAA) as a cross-linking agent. The resulting nanogels were characterized by means of FTIR and 1H NMR spectroscopy, dynamic light scat-tering (DLS) and zeta-potential measurements. Surface morphology was analyzed using scanning electron microscopy. Due to the presence of thermally responsive NIPAM units and varying molar ratios of anionic (AMPS) and cationic (APTAC) units, the resulting nanogels were responsive to multiple stimuli in aqueous media and can be used for controlled delivery of dyes. Thus, the NIPAM90-APTAC7.5-AMPS2.5 nanogel with an excess of the cationic units was chosen for immobilization of the anionic dye, methyl orange (MO), whereas the NIPAM90-APTAC2.5-AMPS7.5 nanogel with an excess of the anionic units was chosen for immo-bilization of the cationic dye, methylene blue (MB). The release kinetics of the dyes from the nanogel was studied depending on the phase transition temperature and the salt content. Mechanism of the dye release from the nanogel matrix was determined using the Ritger-Peppas equation. Disappearance of the ionic con-tacts between the charged groups of the nanogels and the ionic dyes was suggested to be the main reason for the diffusion of the dyes through the dialysis membrane into the external solution.
