La photographie comme processus performatif
Authors: Shusterman Richard
Published: July 2024

Dans cet article initialement publié en 2012, R. Shusterman soutient que la photographie ne se réduit pas au cliché photographique, qui n’est que son produit bidimensionnel final, développé, imprimé ou affiché numériquement. En se concentrant sur l’exemple du portrait photographique, il s’intéresse à ce qu’il se passe en amont du cliché, afin de mettre en lumière la dimension performative d’un art le plus souvent conçu comme strictement visuel. En effet, le photographe, pour prendre la photographie, et son modèle, pour prendre la pose, recourent à des processus performatifs, somatiques et dramatiques parfois intenses. Le photographe doit orienter son appareil, ce qui suppose une certaine maîtrise somatique de sa position, de sa posture et de son équilibre. Il peut choisir ou créer une ambiance, une mise en scène ou une situation parfois complexes. Il doit également communiquer avec le sujet photographié pour le mettre à l’aise, ou dans l’état d’esprit approprié. Quant au sujet photographié, il prend la pose, ce qui peut être assimilé à un jeu d’acteur : selon ce qu’il veut laisser apparaître de lui, il se stylise, se (re)présente et se façonne. Enfin, la photographie enclenche un véritable processus dramatique, au sens où elle focalise notre attention sur les événements ou les personnes photographiés, et les place dans un cadre privilégié qui les démarque et les intensifie, sans pour autant les couper du flux de la vie ordinaire. R. Shusterman donne pour exemples de cette dramatisation les photographies de certains événements rituels comme les mariages ou les remises de diplômes.

The preventive archaeological excavation of Saint-Julien-lès-Metz took place some twenty years ago, and the artefacts were completely restudied following the publication of this relatively well-preserved site. The site as a whole illustrates three Neolithic periods from sometimes unprecedented angles, and represents a major contribution to our understanding of village communities in Lorraine. The three recognised settlements span the 5th to 3rd millennia and are separated by chronological gaps. The first documented occupation dates back to the first part of the Middle Neolithic. The main features of this period are two buildings and a succession of polylobed pits, typical of sites from the Grossgartach culture. They provide an unprecedented vision of a structured plateau settlement. The second is dated to the second half of the Middle Neolithic. A sequence of polylobed pits is the only remaining feature of a Bischheim settlement. These structures are recurrent features on contemporaneous Lorraine sites. The last occupation dates from the Final Neolithic. A combustion structure and a silo are the only remaining elements of a probable Bell Beaker settlement.La fouille de Saint-Julien-lès-Metz réalisée dans un cadre préventif s’est déroulée il y a une vingtaine d’années et sa publication a conduit à la reprise complète des études de mobiliers. Le site se caractérise par un état de conservation relativement bon. L’ensemble illustre trois périodes du Néolithique sous des angles parfois inédits et constitue un apport majeur pour la compréhension des communautés villageoises lorraines. Les trois occupations reconnues s’étendent du Ve au IIIe millénaire et sont séparées par des hiatus chronologiques. La première occupation attestée remonte à la première partie du Néolithique moyen. Deux bâtiments et une succession de fosses polylobées sont les éléments principaux de ce gisement. Ils sont caractéristiques des sites de la culture de Grossgartach et offrent une vision inédite d’un habitat structuré en plateau. La deuxième est datée de la seconde partie du Néolithique moyen. Une succession de fosses polylobées est le seul élément de ce qu’il reste d’un habitat Bischheim. Ces structures sont récurrentes sur les sites lorrains contemporains. La dernière occupation est datée du Néolithique final. Une structure de combustion et un silo sont les seuls éléments restants d’un probable habitat campaniforme.

Published: July 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic precipitated a global shift in higher education toward remote learning, prompting diverse adaptations to ensure continuity in student education. This transition was particularly impactful in Sri Lanka, where the tri-forces' student officers, crucial for national defense, underwent remote postgraduate studies. This study investigates the challenges, perceptions, and proposed strategies of these officers pursuing the PSC (Master’s degree at Defence Services Command and Staff College) during the pandemic. Grounded in Anderson's Theory and Practice of Online Learning, the research employed a descriptive cross-sectional design, surveying 30 male student officers via an online questionnaire. Results indicate a generally positive reception of remote learning, with 61.9% expressing satisfaction, despite encountering technical barriers, limited peer interaction, motivation issues, and content comprehension difficulties. While 52.4% reported moderate engagement levels, 66.7% acknowledged satisfactory lecturer support. The study suggests enhancing infrastructure, fostering interactive learning environments, and improving teacher-student interaction to mitigate challenges and bolster remote learning effectiveness. Notably, 85.7% of respondents advocate for hybrid learning, blending online and traditional methods. However, limitations include a small, male-only sample, limiting generalizability, and neglecting perspectives of officers with lower IT and English proficiency. Recommendations include policy interventions to enhance teacher-student interaction, promote engagement, and optimize remote learning quality, recognizing its pivotal role in future higher education. This study contributes insights into the challenges and prospects of remote learning in a unique military educational context, informing strategies for its effective implementation amidst crises and beyond.

Published: July 2024

Sri Lanka is renowned for its ownership of numerous esteemed Geographical Indications (GIs), a testament to its rich cultural heritage and diverse agricultural products. However, the proliferation of counterfeit indications and illicit practices poses a significant threat to the integrity and value of these GIs in the global marketplace. As the nation of origin, Sri Lanka bears a paramount responsibility to safeguard these GIs, both domestically and internationally, as mandated by the Intellectual Property Act and ratified treaties.Against this backdrop, this research seeks to conduct a comparative evaluation of Sri Lanka's Intellectual Property Law regime, specifically focusing on the adequacy of legal provisions governing geographical indications in protecting existing GIs. Employing a qualitative research methodology, this study draws upon a comprehensive analysis of primary and secondary legal resources.By juxtaposing the domestic legal framework with international standards and practices, this research endeavours to draw conclusions regarding the effectiveness of existing protection measures and proposes targeted reforms where necessary. The aim is to formulate tailored recommendations for enhancing Sri Lanka's GI regime through the worldwide exhaustive examination of geographical indication regimes.This research paper not only contributes to academic discourse but also serves as a practical guide for policymakers and stakeholders involved in the preservation and promotion of Sri Lanka's unique GIs. Given the urgency of addressing the challenges faced by GIs in the contemporary global trade landscape, this study underscores the importance of timely action and informed decision-making in ensuring the continued prosperity of Sri Lanka's geographical indications.

In recent years, the monitoring of hydroponics farms has undergone a significant transformation due to the integration of sensors. However, the conventional method of manually observing measurements from multiple sensors has proven to be excessively time-consuming and costly. Additionally, the lack of automatic data recording options in most sensors has been a limiting factor. To address these challenges, we conducted an experimental study to introduce a novel integrated sensor device named “HypoSense”, designed to monitor essential parameters such as temperature, humidity, pH, light intensity, Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), and Electrical Conductivity (EC) in hydroponic systems. HypoSense consists of three microcontroller units (MCUs) incorporated with two controlling circuits based on the Arduino platform: the Arduino UNO, ESP32, and the ESP8266 (NodeMCU) microcontrollers. The device is designed using high-precision sensors, including the DHT11 for temperature and humidity monitoring, an Analog pH sensor kit for pH measurement, BH1750 for light intensity, and an Analog TDS sensor kit for TDS and electrical conductivity measurements. These sensors were chosen for their reliability, accuracy, and compatibility with the Arduino platform, ensuring that HypoSense delivers precise and consistent readings. HypoSense is a cost-effective, portable sensor device specially designed for monitoring growth parameters simultaneously in hydroponic farming, saving growers time and effort. The evaluation was carried out in two phases. Firstly, field sensors were employed to calibrate HypoSense device sensors. Next, a secondary evaluation was conducted to confirm the practicality and user-friendliness of the HypoSense device. To facilitate the evaluation of HypoSense, we set up an indoor hydroponic system for growing tomatoes and lettuce. The results of these evaluations, focusing on the performance and applicability of the HypoSense device, will provide valuable insights for hydroponic growers and future researchers in precision agriculture.
Estimation of CLARK Y-14 Airfoil’s Lift Hysteresis in Low-Speed Flow
Authors: Jayathilake W. A. R. D. , Abeygoonewardene J. I.
Published: July 2024

A phenomenon called hysteresis is responsible for the difference in the separation and the reattachment angles of an airfoil which is seen within the vicinity of the stalling angle of attack. The reason for this is the difference in the expected lift distribution of an airfoil for a particular angle of attack when recovery from stall is achieved. This leads to asymmetric flow parameters around a body even when the boundaries remain symmetric. Empirical results were obtained for a two-dimensional Clark Y-14 airfoil by varying the angle of attack for different Reynold’s numbers in order to estimate how lift characteristics are affected by the formation of hysteresis loops at different Reynolds numbers. It was seen that the extent of the clockwise hysteresis loops of the Clark Y-14 increased with the increase of the Reynolds number up to the Reynolds number of 134072 before starting to decrease again. The stalling angles followed a similar pattern before starting to decrease at a Reynolds number of 164543. These trends observed for the Clark Y-14 airfoil is similar to that of the Eppler 591 and NACA 0018 by Lance W.Traub and W.A Timmer respectively (Timmer, 2008), (Traub, 2016). When analyzing the coefficient of pressure variation for the Clark Y-14 airfoil at a particular Reynolds number, it was seen that a laminar separation bubble was formed for the forward stroke which shifted towards the leading edge of the airfoil which was common for all the Reynolds numbers. In the forward stroke, it could be seen that a laminar separation bubble was formed whereas for the backward stroke no such laminar separation bubble was formed for the same angle of attack which gave rise to the hysteresis loops of the Clark Y-`14 airfoil. It was observed that the laminar separation bubble had a direct impact on the formation of the hysteresis loops giving rise to static stall hysteresis as mentioned in previous research published by various authors. The empirical results obtained were further validated using Computation Fluid Dynamics.

Authors: Ramese W. K. D. , Jayasooriya S. D. , Lakmal A. H.
Published: July 2024

Higher education is the critical economic sector that is eventually followed by all other major service sectors in an economy such as financial services, healthcare, telecommunication, aviation, transportation etc. Today, higher educational institutions all over the world operate in a fast-dynamic environment with high competition for reputation, talent acquisition, and student attraction. Following the basis of that high competition that is leading to a significant focus on quality. It is not easy to define the quality in terms of higher education since due to the complexity in relationships of higher education to students and the different roles played by a student in the higher education process. Addressing the issue, International Organization for Standards (ISO) has recently published a new quality framework for higher educational institutions; ISO 21001:2018 EOMS and most of the institutions adopted ISO 9001 standard series until the publication of the new ISO standard for higher education. This study employs an evidence-based approach and systematically evaluates the existing literature on ISO QMS implementation in higher education institutions in different countries with the intention of elaborating on the necessity of adopting it in the Sri Lankan context. Further, it attempts to summarize the key benefits, challenges, and critical success factors of ISO implementation considering Sri Lanka. According to the findings, the key benefits of ISO adoption by higher education institutions are cost reduction, consistent customer satisfaction, risk management, international recognition, adopting rapid changes, attracting grants/ funds, and strengthening international linkages and relationships. In addition, the challenges and critical success factors which were extracted from the literature are also stated for easy implication. Thus, the study highly recommends implementing ISO-standardized quality management systems in all higher education institutions in Sri Lanka to mitigate the serious limitations while achieving international recognition for all educational programmes to finally generate a quality workforce for the economy.

Authors: Sarththiga G. , Sivakanthan S.
Published: July 2024

Domestic violence against women is one of the most contemporary social issues in Sri Lanka. This study aimed to identify the socioeconomic implications of domestic violence experienced by women. All 107 women were selected in Thenmaradchi Divisional Secretariat. The mixed method research design was undertaken with the help of a questionnaire survey and interviews. The Chi-square for univariate analysis was employed to analyze quantitative data with the usage of SPSS version 21 and qualitative data were analyzed thematically using the thematic analysis. According to the results, Hinduism (98.1%) was the predominant religion and 24.3% of the respondents’ age range was 26-30 years. The majority of the victims (54.2%) were educated up to secondary educational level. Wage labour was the primary livelihood of many women and most of the respondents’ monthly income was less than 20,000 Sri Lankan Rupees. There was a significantly high status between economic domestic violence and the variables including education (p<0.000); occupation (p<0.000) and income (p<0.000). Further, financial instability, low income, financial insecurity, unemployment, debt, poverty, low level of living standards, helplessness, lack of social recognition, and lack of social support were the significant economic and social impacts on women. In addition, stress, fear, tension, low self-esteem, and eating and sleeping disorders were the major psychological impacts on women. Additionally, cultural norms, fear, and stigma often cause women to stay silent about their experiences with abuse. Most of the women used coping mechanisms to cope with their implications. The research concludes that psychological implications were the most severe implication among the participants. This study suggests that vulnerable communities should be identified and services such as counselling and legal aid should be made easily accessible.

Authors: Ogungbenle G. M. , Sogunro A. B. , Imouokhome E. O.
Published: July 2024

Nigeria currently carrying out economic reforms is under the surveillance of institutional investors. To construct the market discount function through its yield curve, we applied the extended functional Nelson-Siegel parsimonious function with time-decay parameters to the Eurobond data to employ flexibility of the model and estimate the time varying parameters. In order to present a deep investigation of the Euro-bond market by reason of time to maturity, our contribution is anchored on following objectives: (i) construct the discount function (ii) investigate the limiting behavior of the yield curves and (iii) predict the in-sample yield. The data presented involves the daily closing of the Nigerian Eurobond yield covering January to December 2021 and 2022. The data was fitted to the observed Nigerian Eurobond yield curve to model the discount function. The ordinary least square method is used for the analysis and the estimated parameters were used to compute the in-sample yield. Test of goodness of fit was conducted showing that the model fits in well to the observed data demonstrated by the model’s R-square adjusted through the predicted yields after obtaining the two decay factors. This paper has implications on life insurance products associated with minimum guaranteed benefit schemes for the insured. Based on the terms and conditions of the contract, the insured pays regular premium invested in debt instruments and receives benefit at death or at maturity of the policy depending on the market performance of the fund. There is a guaranteed benefit which the insured earns irrespective of the performance of the life fund. The insurer would then pay the guaranteed amount even if the benefit eventually drops below the guaranteed amount. Given the discount 𝛿(𝜏)and benefit∅, the present value of future death benefits is modeled as 𝑃𝑉𝐹𝐵 = ∅1𝛿(1) + ∅2𝛿(2) + ⋯ + ∅𝑇−1𝛿(𝑇 − 1) + ∅𝑇𝛿(𝑇).
Erythrasmoid pityriasis versicolor: three case reports and review of the literature
Authors: Veraldi Stefano , Aromolo Italo Francesco , Germiniasi Francesca Sara , Nazzaro Gianluca
Published: July 2024

Pityriasis versicolor is characterized clinically by slightly scaly, hyper- or hypopigmented macules usually located on the chest, shoulders, back and arms. Rare cases of atypical locations of pityriasis versicolor have been described, such as groins, penis and perineum. We present three cases of pityriasis versicolor located exclusively on the submammary folds, pubis and inguinal folds (the latter in an 11-year-old girl), respectively. In consideration of both location and clinical presentation of pityriasis versicolor in these three patients, we think that the diagnosis of “erythrasmoid” pityriasis versicolor is acceptable. Differential diagnosis with erythrasma must be taken into consideration. Mycological and bacteriological examinations are therefore necessary in order to make a correct diagnosis and specific therapy.

Planning an immediate and multidisciplinary rehabilitation is crucial to reduce the significant physical, cognitive, and psychosocial impact resulting from head trauma. This study highlights the importance of ongoing cognitive rehabilitation in conjunction with other rehabilitation therapies, such as motor, occupational, and speech therapy, for a 19-year-old woman who suffered an acquired traumatic brain injury in a high-energy vehicle accident. When the patient was admitted to the hospital, their cognitive functioning (LCF) was 4 (confused-agitated state), their Barthel index was 0, their Glasgow coma scale (GCS) was 7, and their disability rating scale (DRS) was 7. The patient’s cognitive functioning improved to LCF 8 (purposeful-appropriate), numerical rating scale: 0/10, Barthel index: 53, GCS:15, and DRS: 5 at the time of discharge from the neurorehabilitation unit. In conclusion, early cognitive intervention in a multidisciplinary rehabilitation program is essential to maximizing the patient’s potential and improving the rehabilitation’s outcome.

Authors: An Nguyen Minh , Kien Ngo Trung , Duc Nguyen Van , Long Vo Hoang
Published: July 2024

Based on a retrospective hospital-based analysis, this study examines the results of retroperitoneal laparoscopic radical nephrectomy for patients with T1-T2 renal cell carcinoma (RCC) from January 2019 to December 2023. Of the 73 patients, 4.1% had TNM stage II tumors and 95.8% had TNM stage I tumors (53.4% T1a and 42.4% T1b). In terms of frequency, clear cell RCC accounted for 84.9%, with papillary RCC coming in at 9.6% and chromophobe RCC at 4.1%. Following surgery, four patients experienced fevers, one needed a blood transfusion, two had infections, and one had emergency surgery. Lumbar masses and hematuria were absent in all patients. Subsequent metastatic lesions and abnormalities of the renal fossa were not observed on follow-up ultrasounds. 4.1% of the deaths after 25.9 months were due to the disease, and 1.4% were caused by accidents. At one, two, three, and four years, the cumulative survival rates were 100%, 97.2%, and 92.8%, respectively. 48.1 months was the mean postoperative survival period. For RCC stages T1-2, retroperitoneal laparoscopic radical nephrectomy offers significant benefits and comparable results to open surgery.

Published: July 2024

Urinary incontinence is a health problem for women and the elderly, both physically and psychologically. To cure it, mid-urethral sling surgery is used. Moreover, the transobturator tape (TOT) appears to reduce the incidence of bladder injuries. This case series aims to assess the safety and efficacy of TOT at Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital, Jakarta, Indonesia. We present eleven female patients diagnosed with stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and complaints of involuntary leakage during sneezing, coughing, or laughing. All patients underwent a TOT operation, which included a coughing test, pad test, residual volume, and urinalysis to rule out the infection. Out of the eleven patients, eight showed the reported urinary leakage at the first follow-up, and three did not attend the follow-up. The pad test post-operative results from five patients were obtained: four patients revealed 0 g in their pad test, while one showed 3 g. No patient experienced sling erosion during control or follow-up management. The low erosion rate was due to the usage of type 1 polypropylene mashes (macropore, monofilament), and the procedure was done with the correct technique. The sling TOT procedure seems effective and has the potential to become the new gold standard in the management of true SUI with low morbidity.

Published: July 2024

This article presents a list of translations of foreign and Slovenian literature into the Rába dialect. In the Rába Valley, the local dialect plays the same role as standard Slovenian does in Slovenia. It is also used as a language of literature. The practice of translating into the Rába dialect is relatively new, and there is not much information regarding this type of use of the dialect. The amount of translations into the Rába dialect has been unclear until now, and it was also unknown who the translators were because the COBIB database does not include a classification based on dialects.

A Study on the Application of Artificial Intelligence in Conceptual Design
Authors: Lee Mun Woo , Kwon Soon Gul ,   Korea Institute of Design Research Society
Published: July 2024

Machine learning(ml) was already developed in the 1940s, but its application value was low due to limited computational power and lack of data. Since then, based on advancements in computer technology and data accumulation, artificial intelligence, particularly machine learning, has gained interdisciplinary attention as a tool for providing insights in the field of design. Recently, numerous prior studies on image generation using artificial intelligence have emerged, reflecting this growing interest. However, from a practical standpoint, there are several criticisms: the images generated by machine learning often lack the resolution required by designers, and they fall short in providing original images. It is worth examining whether the perspectives of these prior studies are becoming teleologically biased. Therefore, this study aims to explore the gap between interdisciplinary discussions and practical applications, seeking to bridge this gap and integrate AI-generated image creation into practical use. This research is based on a literature review of Generative Adversarial Networks(GANs) in machine learning(ml), examining whether the images generated are acceptable from the perspective of product designers. Based on this, we will use text mining methods to perform clustering, information extraction, and sentiment analysis to understand consumer attitudes. Through this approach, we aim to explore the potential use of AI in product design from the standpoint of consumers and practitioners rather than an interdisciplinary perspective.
A study on the Role of Design affect to Public Science Technology Commercialization: focusing on Prototyping
Authors: Kim Rock Hyun ,   Korea Institute of Design Research Society
Published: July 2024

Currently, differences in perspectives on technology verification persist between suppliers(researchers) and consumers(private companies, etc.) of national research technology, making it difficult to disseminate research results. This is because the research results are simply at the level of prototypes(prototypes) for technology implementation, which creates a difference in thinking from consumers who have actual commercialization in mind. In order to connect research technology to a business for sale, technology development that combines design must take precedence, and in particular, the importance of design for prototype production is greatly increased. The design elements that need to be considered in addition to research technology are very extensive, and it is very important to apply them in the R&D stage to increase the value of research technology. Therefore, this study seeks to understand the importance of the role of design, which has had a passive impact on technology commercialization, and examine the role and implications of design for revitalizing the research industry.

Against this background, as the first contact between consumers and brands, the package is an important touch point, carrying cultural symbols and brand image, and is becoming more and more important. This study focuses on the package design of blind box, which aims to explore the connection between package design and consumers' purchase desire through case analysis and online survey. Through the analysis of the package design, we will explore how design elements influence consumers' purchase decisions and explore potential psychological mechanisms. The insights from the study were that package design should maximize the use of visual elements, combine the content of the product, and present information clearly and accurately to make the product understandable and stimulate consumption.
A Study on Design Psychology on the Thinking Action of Users: Focusing Case Study on the Principles of Design Psychology
Authors: YUN ByoungGoun ,   Korea Institute of Design Research Society
Published: July 2024

This study examined the theory of design psychology affecting users' thinking actions, focusing on the human cognitive system and information processing process. Based on related literature studies such as design, psychology, and brain science, the study was conducted focusing on case analysis of design psychology principles. As a result of the study, first, it was confirmed that the tendency of thinking appeared differently depending on the height of the ceiling, and creativity was promoted in spaces with high ceilings and specific thinking was promoted in spaces with low ceilings. Second, apart from usability, it was found that a design with good aesthetics reinforces users' positive attitudes and explores problem-solving methods with a generous attitude even in the event of a problem. Third, by first presenting positive expressions or experiences before experiencing a situation, it was found to have a positive effect on the user's perception, judgment, behavior, and memory. Fourth, it has been shown that visual stimuli activate physical waves and central nerves, causing psychological changes in human behavior and thoughts. Fifth, design consistency has been shown to affect user behavior and quick decision-making, but family similarity only needs to be interrelated, even if it is not in a fixed form. The significance of this study is to understand that the preference or bias that users judge design is related to design psychology. As a limitation, it failed to deal with the design psychological principles that negatively affect users' thinking formation. Furthermore, it is proposed to be conducted by supplemented and supplemented.

This study aims to propose a plan for developing an Arirang Festival exhibition space using the virtual reality of the metaverse to preserve Arirang and promote local cultural development. Arirang is a unique music of the Korean people, and preserving and passing it down is an important factor in cultural development. However, several problems were raised at the Arirang Festival, which plays a big role in revitalizing Arirang. Therefore, this study aims to develop an exhibition space for the Arirang Festival based on virtual reality, a core technology of the metaverse. Based on the Mil-ryang Arirang Festival, which has the longest history, and the Jeongseon Arirang Festival, this study aims to identify issues and propose a new virtual reality exhibition space to address them. We analyze examples of VR exhibition spaces revitalizing local culture, propose themes and components for the Arirang VR space. Additionally, we prepare experiential contents highlighting regional characteristics for a harmonious virtual space. To enhance participation across generations, promote Arirang's heritage and tourism, and expand engaging contents, we offer 3D Arirang experiences, storytelling videos, traditional avatar games, and virtual tours. Through these efforts, we aim to promote the sustainable development of the Arirang Festival and hope that Arirang can expand to a wider audience across generations.
The Impact of Expression Type of E-commerce Platform Product Photos on Attitude Toward the Advertisement: focusing on Skincare and Makeup Cosmetics
Authors: Kim Hae Min , Kim Tai Wan ,   Korea Institute of Design Research Society
Published: July 2024

This study investigates the impact of expression methods in product images used on detailed pages in the cosmetics industry on e-commerce platforms, focusing on product type, function type, and appeal type, on advertising attitudes. The study employed a 2(product type: skincare vs. makeup) × 2(function type: still vs. motion) × 2(appeal type: rational vs. emotional) design, selecting representative products from Naver Shopping to create eight experimental stimuli. A survey was conducted with women aged 20 and older in South Korea from May 2 to 6, 2024, and a total of 44 completed questionnaires were analyzed. The results indicated that motion graphics induced higher advertising attitudes compared to still images, and emotional appeals led to higher advertising attitudes than rational appeals. This implies that dynamic elements in product images create a stronger impression on consumers, and emotional appeals enhance advertising effectiveness by evoking emotional responses. However, there was no statistically significant difference in advertising attitudes based on product type, nor were there significant interaction effects between product type, function type, and appeal type. These findings highlight the importance of dynamic images and emotional appeals in digital marketing strategies for the cosmetics industry. Future research should aim to generalize these results across diverse consumer groups and consider variables such as purchasing tendencies, skin characteristics, and age for a more comprehensive analysis. Further research in other industries is also necessary to determine if similar marketing elements yield consistent effects.

The research focuses on the customer satisfaction for the packaging design of Luckin Coffee, a leading coffee brand in China. By employing the Kano Model and sensitivity analysis, the study conducts both quantitative and qualitative analysis on 407 valid responses collected from a questionnaire survey, categorizing and sorting the data. The results indicate that the seven attributes—economy, aesthetic shape, pattern and color, portability, cultural elements, customer service phone number, and production date—have sensitivities greater than 70%, classifying them as high-expectation or essential needs that should be prioritized. This study supplies scientific data support for enterprises to implement brand strategies and marketing models, helping brands maintain sustainable development in a competitive business environment.
A study on the impact of minimalist expression attributes in package design on consumers' emotional perception

In fierce market competition, product package design is one of the important means for companies to gain market share. Various expressions used in package design play an important role in creating emotional sympathy among consumers and encouraging consumption. Among them, minimalist design expression expresses images or objects with a basic structure, immediately recognizes the essence of the form, emphasizes, and minimizes it, making it easier to understand and accept. Furthermore, it enables form recognition that allows one to feel emotional autonomy by acquiring and performing playful functions. Accordingly, this study focused on studying the impact of minimalist expression attributes in package design on consumers' emotional perception. Through previous research and case analysis, the expressive properties of minimalism are summarized as 'simplicity and clarity' as formative elements and 'symbolism and environmentality' as semantic elements, and at the same time, according to the consumer PAD three-dimensional emotional model, emotional perception The dependent variables were set as ‘pleasure, arousal, and dominance.’ As a result of the analysis, it was found that in minimalism, the attributes of clarity expression all had a positive effect on consumers' pleasure, arousal, and dominance. In addition, it was found that the use of environmentality had a positive effect on consumer arousal and dominance. It should be noted that simplicity and symbolism play a positive role in stimulating consumer interest, but their impact on consumer arousal and dominance is not significant. This study fills in and verifies the research gap on minimalist expression in package design to a certain extent, making the study of a PAD consumer emotion 3D model richer and exploring the expression attributes of minimalism from a new perspective.
We will enter the quarry when our elders are no longer there. Difficulties in discovering, dating and interpreting medieval quarries in Lorraine
Authors: Moulis Cédric
Published: July 2024

A land of stone, Lorraine is still marked by the imprint of open-cast quarries, the size of which reflects the impact of mechanisation on quarrying from the 19th century onwards. However, many older quarries still lurk in the landscape. Often very discreet and filled in, they are not always easy to identify, particularly those from the Middle Ages, when quarry sites were very specific to the opening of a building site. This review and investigation therefore takes us into the field of small-scale medieval quarrying, in an attempt to address both methodological and scientific issues.

Terre de pierre, l'espace lorrain reste marqué par l'empreinte de carrières à ciel ouvert dont les dimensions reflètent les apports de la mécanisation au travail d'extraction à partir du XIXe siècle. Pour autant, nombre de carrières plus anciennes se cachent encore dans le paysage. Bien souvent très discrètes, remblayées, leur identification n'est pas toujours aisée, particulièrement celles du Moyen Âge, où les sites d'extractions sont très circonstanciés à l'ouverture d'un chantier de construction. Ce bilan et cette enquête nous mènent donc sur le terrain des petites exploitations médiévales, en tentant de répondre à des problématiques méthodologiques aussi bien que scientifiques.
Twin-width and permutations
Authors: Bonnet Édouard , Nešetřil Jaroslav , de Mendez Patrice Ossona , Siebertz Sebastian , Thomassé Stéphan
Published: July 2024

Inspired by a width invariant on permutations defined by Guillemot and Marx,
Bonnet, Kim, Thomass\'e, and Watrigant introduced the twin-width of graphs,
which is a parameter describing its structural complexity. This invariant has
been further extended to binary structures, in several (basically equivalent)
ways. We prove that a class of binary relational structures (that is:
edge-colored partially directed graphs) has bounded twin-width if and only if
it is a first-order transduction of a~proper permutation class. As a
by-product, we show that every class with bounded twin-width contains at most
$2^{O(n)}$ pairwise non-isomorphic $n$-vertex graphs.

This quantitative study examines the relationship between organizational support and job satisfaction among Philippine National Police Personnel. Recognizing the critical role that organizational support plays in fostering a positive work environment, the research investigates how factors such as resource availability, training programs, and mental health services influence job satisfaction among officers. The study employs a comprehensive survey targeting police personnel across various demographic and professional backgrounds to capture a broad spectrum of experiences and perspectives. Key findings indicate that strong organizational support correlates with higher job satisfaction, reduced turnover rates, and enhanced performance. The results underscore the importance of equitable policies, effective communication, and recognition in cultivating a motivated and satisfied police workforce. These insights are vital for informing policy recommendations and developing strategies aimed at improving organizational support within law enforcement agencies, ultimately contributing to better public safety outcomes.
