Authors: Mialhe Paulo Jacques , Moschini Luiz Eduardo , Piga Fabíola Geovanna
Published: February 2022

O morcego hematófago Desmodus rotundus é o principal transmissor da raiva dos herbívoros, responsável por enormes prejuízos econômicos na pecuária. Devido às interações de D. rotundus com o meio ambiente, o risco da raiva nos herbívoros pode ser explicado pela vulnerabilidade e a receptividade do ambiente a capacidade do ecossistema albergar populações de D. rotundus. Foram analisados quantitativamente determinantes de receptividade em que se encontravam os abrigos de morcegos hematófagos D. rotundus no município de São Pedro – SP, utilizando de Sistema de Informações Geográficas. Foram localizados oito abrigos de D.rotundus, sendo dois abrigos naturais : uma gruta de arenito de Geologia Formação Piramboia e Neossolo Quartzarênico habitada por apenas um morcego, e outra gruta basáltica de Geologia Formação Itaqueri e Latossolo Vermelho-amarelo com uma população estimada de 100 D.rotundus. A maioria dos abrigos estava em áreas de pastagem e cana de açúcar, seguido por área de vegetação nativa. A declividade variou de 3% a 29%, A maioria dos abrigos estava em áreas com baixas declividades com presença de pastagens, porem próximos a áreas de relevo mais escarpado e vegetação e a altitudes que variaram entre 475m e 929 m. Todos os abrigos estavam localizados próximos a corpos d’agua. Desta forma faz-se necessário na análise da receptividade do ambiente a presença de abrigos aptos de D. rotundus a inclusão outros tipos de formação geológica além da calcária para formação de abrigos naturais, a presença de pastagens além da mata nativa, e proximidade de corpos d’agua.
Circuitos económicos informales
Authors: Moreno García Juan Carlos
Published: February 2022

Aunque es habitual considerar la economía faraónica como rígidamente centralizada y controlada por el estado, en realidad los circuitos económicos dominados por la monarquía y las grandes instituciones coexistían con otros, informales. Descubrimientos arqueológicos recientes demuestran el volumen y el alcance de intercambios protagonizados por poblaciones costeras, pastores, pescadores, mercaderes itinerantes, etc., al margen de cualquier intervención del estado. De hecho, parece plausible que en ocasiones la política expansiva de algunos estados del Próximo Oriente (incluido Egipto) perseguía capturar estas lucrativas redes comerciales que escapaban a su control y así gravarlas y extraer un beneficio económico. En otros casos, sabemos de la existencia de producciones artesanales de calidad cuya producción no obedecía a la demanda de la monarquía o de grandes instituciones, sino a una demanda urbana y rural que alimentaba circuitos de producción complejos capaces de integrar, según las necesidades, talleres y unidades domésticas. Por último, también parece que los mercaderes constituyeron un sector importante de la vida productiva y urbana del Egipto faraónico, si bien las fuentes relativas a sus negocios, sobre todo privados, son sorprendentemente escasas.

Published: February 2022

Il presente contributo intende offrire alcuni elementi per analizzare la prima vera esperienza di primarie in Italia. Si offrirà un sintetico quadro delle modalità di svolgimento, delle regole, dei candidati e del loro modo di giocare per la prima volta questa partita, della risposta degli elettori del centrosinistra, dei risultati e degli effetti che questi hanno avuto sulla competizione regionale pugliese del 5 aprile 2005. In particolare, considerata la scelta di votare nelle sezioni di partito, l’obiettivo principale è quello di verificare se ciò ha avuto in qualche modo un’influenza sul risultato. Inoltre, incroceremo i risultati con la forza dei partiti sul territorio, considerando iscritti e distribuzione provinciale del voto, al fine di verificare il comportamento delle principali forze politiche della coalizione.
Le primarie in Italia: ancora e soltanto personalizzazione della politica?
Authors: Bolgherini Silvia , Musella Fortunato
Published: February 2022

In Italia il recente fenomeno delle primarie ha contribuito a riportare nella discussione politica alcuni grandi temi delle democrazie contemporanee. Il dibattito sorto, soprattutto, in occasione delle primarie nel 2005, se da un lato ha riguardato gli scopi e le potenzialità di questo strumento, dall’altro si è poi allargato ed ha spaziato su molti aspetti della vita democratica: dalla partecipazione politica al direttismo, dal potere delle oligarchie alla rivincita decisionale del popolo, dalla selezione – effettiva o solo fittizia – delle elìtes politiche ai risvolti plebiscitari. Temi noti, ma esaminati da una prospettiva inedita, dovuta alla novità di uno strumento di selezione della classe politica praticamente sconosciuto alla prassi politica italiana.

Un aspetto che invece non è stato considerato, o almeno non abbastanza, in questa fase di rinnovata discussione politica, è quello della personalizzazione, e come questa si possa in qualche modo mettere in relazione con l’arrivo fulmineo – e sorprendente nel loro successo – delle primarie. Un disinteresse paradossale se si considera che il fenomeno della personalizzazione politica, che ha interessato negli ultimi anni la democrazia italiana come tanti altri sistemi politici occidentali, non sembra affatto essere in crisi. Non solo, ma a nostro avviso alcuni aspetti della personalizzazione politica possono farci meglio comprendere il fenomeno stesso delle primarie ed i connotati che ha assunto nei casi italiani.

Le primarie hanno infatti suscitato adesioni totali o forti perplessità, ma pochissima attenzione è stata dedicata alle molte, e diverse, possibili applicazioni del nuovo strumento. Il nesso fra primarie e democrazia può invece essere meglio colto proprio analizzando i vari modi e le differenti ragioni per cui le elezioni primarie vengono utilizzate.

In questo studio cercheremo perciò di vedere se, come, e in quali circostanze, la personalizzazione della politica si intrecci con particolari caratteristiche delle elezioni primarie, aiutandoci a distinguerne le fattispecie e a interpretare il fenomeno nel suo complesso.

Reconditioning of ti6al4v powder through an inductively coupled plasma for direct metal laser sintering
Authors: Nkhasi N , Du Preez W , Bissett H
Published: February 2022

Ti6Al4V is commonly used in the aerospace, medical and automotive industries due to its high strength-to-weight ratio and excellent corrosion resistance properties. Interstitial impurities in Ti6Al4V powder, particularly oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen and iron, have an impact on mechanical properties. After Ti6Al4V powder has been re-used several times in direct metal laser sintering build processes, it will eventually reach its end of life due to its physical and chemical properties deteriorating out of specification. Such powder can be reconditioned using an inductively coupled plasma system. In this study, the reconditioning of the contaminated powder was done using an inductively coupled plasma system and characterisation of the Ti6Al4V powder was done before and after reconditioning. Conclusions are drawn on the feasibility of utilising an inductively coupled plasma system for reconditioning of contaminated Ti6Al4V powder.
A case for establishment of the Ferrous Materials Development Network (FMDN) in South Africa
Authors: Phasha M , Moema J , Papo J
Published: February 2022

South Africa is known to be one of the mineral endowed countries in the world, bearing large quantities of iron, chrome, manganese and vanadium reserves that are key to iron and steel industries. It is thus vital to leverage on this natural resource endowment to build a dynamic industrial economy capable of creating sustainable jobs. Central to achieving this goal is the need to derive greater economic value from these natural resources, which will reduce import levels and create export opportunities. Currently, however, the local iron and steel industry is forced to navigate some of the known challenges such as the cost of energy, transportation, labour and steel, in order to remain competitive and operational. These matters which hamper the realization of beneficiation aspirations do not only have a huge impact on the downstream value-adding steel industry but also make the cost of doing business in SA unattractive.

Consequently, based on its capability, relevancy and experience in supporting the iron and steel sector for many years, Mintek has been entrusted with the responsibility to host the Ferrous Materials Development Network (FMDN) by government through advanced materials initiative (AMI) programme to coordinate research on ferrous materials in the country.

The purpose of this paper is to illustrate the need for interdependent research activities in ferrous materials in South Africa, which is underpinned by collaborative research, development and innovation (RDI) efforts between science councils, academia and industry. These activities are aimed at generating local know how, fostering local and international collaboration, development of human capital (HCD), supporting job creation through beneficiation, identification of relevant advanced technologies to improve competitiveness, localization of designated castings, design and development of new ferrous materials with enhanced properties to enable access to niche export markets as well as improving local capability to produce high-end ferrous products for critical sectors of the economy such as petrochemical, energy generation, transportation, mining, etc.

Published: February 2022

The Thermo-Calc™ program and TTTI3 database were used to predict the phases in Ti-Cu with 5, 25, and 40 wt% Cu. Based on the predicted results, experimental work was conducted and the Ti-Cu alloys were produced in a button arc furnace, and characterised in the as-cast and the annealed condition (900°C) followed by water quenching. Microstructures and compositions were determined using an electron probe micro-analyser, and the phases were identified by X-ray diffraction. The corrosion performance was measured by potentiodynamic polarisation in a phosphate buffered saline solution at 37 °C at 7.4 pH while purging with nitrogen gas. The Ti-5Cu and Ti-25Cu alloys comprised (αTi) and Ti2Cu phases, the Ti-40Cu alloy comprised Ti2Cu and TiCu. Although the addition of copper decreased the corrosion performance by down to 75%, the corrosion rates were still within the acceptable range (0.02-0.13 mm/y) for biocompatibility of metallic implants. Annealing at 900 °C did not improve the corrosion performance.
Synthesizing Pt-Ni/C Nanoframes electrocatalyst using the solvothermal and in-house developed method for PEM fuel cells
Authors: Negondeni J , Ngwenya T
Published: February 2022

As South Africa moves towards the production and storage of green energy sources, proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells have been characterized as promising energy sources for transportation, heating, and power sources and have an efficient energy conversion that does not allow greenhouse gas emissions. However, to improve the energy efficiency and to reduce the system cost, and make it suitable for large-scale commercialization, precious metal catalyst needs to be developed with improved catalyst activities for PEM fuel cells. Due to the high cost of platinum, platinum alloy nanostructures have been investigated for use as an electrocatalyst in PEM fuel cells. Platinum-nickel alloy nanostructures in previous research studies have shown 36- and 22-times enhancement in mass and specific activity respectively, towards the cathodic oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in PEM fuel cells and for the methanol oxidation reaction (MOR) in direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) than the Pt/C catalyst. Therefore, this research focused on developing rich Pt-skin platinumnickel nanoframes which were synthesized using solvothermal and in-house developed methods. The intermediate products were etched to remove the interior using either a weak acid or an oxidative acid for comparison. The final product was supported by Vulcan XC-72 at a loading of 20 wt. % Pt-Ni. The properties of Pt-Ni/C will be characterized and evaluated to determine if the nanoframes are formed. The preliminary results for the X-ray diffraction pattern showed that the structure of Pt-Ni contracted and affected the catalyst properties. The catalytic activities were determined by electrochemical methods using thin-film RDE measurements, the results indicated that Pt-Ni as-synthesized has higher specific activity at 900 mV versus RHE. The specific and mass activity of the oxygen reduction reaction for Pt-Ni/C will be compared to the activities of the current high-performing Pt/C catalyst.

Blueprint for the Great Lakes Trail
Authors: Scanlan Melissa
Published: February 2022

The Great Lakes are vast yet vulnerable. There is a need to focus the public’s attention on the significance of the lakes for the region as a cohesive, binational whole. To address this need, build on existing water law, and engage the public, this Article provides a blueprint to establish a Great Lakes Trail on the shores of the Great Lakes. The Trail will link together 10,000 miles of coastline and provide the longest marked walking trail in the world. It will demarcate an already existing, yet largely unrecognized, public trust easement and engage the public with their common heritage in the lakeshore. The Great Lakes Trail is rooted in longstanding legal rights in the beach commons that have been forgotten and eroded over time. The Trail will provide a tangible way to restore the public’s coastal history and reinvigorate public trust rights. In the United States, when each of the Great Lakes states entered the Union, the federal government transferred to them the waters and lakebeds of the Great Lakes up to the ordinary high water mark on the beach. The states were to hold these lands and waters in trust for the public use and enjoyment. In 2005, the Michigan Supreme Court held in favor of the public’s right to access and walk along this beach. This is the only Great Lakes state court decision to directly address the public’s right to walk along the Great Lakes, and it provides an excellent contemporary model decision for the region. On the Canadian side of the Great Lakes, there is an existing movement to build a Waterfront Trail along all of the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence River, as well as legislative efforts to recognize a right of passage on foot along the Great Lakes shoreline. However, the states and provinces lack consistency in how they address public access to this coast, and have not identified it as a broad public asset like the Appalachian Trail. Establishing the Great Lakes Trail will be a monumental effort, requiring a multidisciplinary approach. It will require generating local, and especially lakeshore property owners’ support for the Trail; developing a system of local volunteers; working with artists and educators to design art installations and signs that reflect each community’s values and educate the public about Great Lakes ecological and legal issues; building local tourism economies with chambers of commerce to promote trail-oriented businesses; and partnering with GIS mappers and app developers to produce real time local business information and mapping. Ultimately, allowing people to utilize their public trust rights in walking the coasts of the Great Lakes actively engages them in seeing the importance of the Great Lakes as an ecological, political, economic, and cultural asset, which is a precursor to developing and implementing cooperative Great Lakes governance structures.
Effects of Financial Statements Quality and Users' Knowledge on Decision Considerations and the Role of Satisfaction as a Potential Mediator
Authors: Razafiarivony Marie-Anne , Hosna-Janeta Martina
Published: February 2022

Financial statements are used in organisations as a source of financial information and are used as a tool in decision-making exercises that involve financial decisions. Financial statements indicate the organisations' current financial health and their future potential growth. Both for-profit and nonprofit organisations can benefit from such type of information. Studies show that there is a significant positive relationship between the use of financial statements and decision-making effectiveness. However, this situation is based on the premise that the financial information provided is of high quality and when those who have access to such information understand them and interpret them correctly. Reaching good decisions is vital for organisations, but the implementation of such decisions is equally crucial. Decision-makers need to commit to the decisions taken to reach the goals of the organisations. The decision-making process itself helps in reinforcing the commitment. It is hypothesised that the process is considered satisfactory when the goals set at the beginning of the meeting are met. The more satisfied the decision-makers feel about the process, the more committed they will be to the decisions. The relationship between the quality of the financial statement, the decision-makers knowledge, satisfaction with the decision-making process, and decision commitment has not been researched enough in not-for-profit organisations. Yet, these organisations are involved in complex decision-making situations since they have to balance their social mission and their fiscal responsibility. The study aims to analyse how satisfaction with the decision-making process mediates the effect of financial statements quality and their users' knowledge on the decision commitment in the not-for-profit context. It used a sample from selected not-for-profit entities from Liberia. The findings show that financial statements' quality is associated but does not affect the satisfaction with the decision-making process. On the other hand, satisfaction mediates the effect of knowledge on decision commitment. The findings seem to indicate that not-for-profit organisations need to prepare committee meetings with due diligence to reach optimal decisions and be able to gain full support to implement these decisions.

A nemzetközi áruforgalom lebonyolítása ma már elképzelhetetlen lenne világszerte egységesen alkalmazott árubesorolási rendszer használata nélkül. Az egységes árukódolási rendszerek létrehozása a nemzetközi kereskedelem fejlődése során olyan globális kihívás volt a nemzetek számára, amelyet tényleges közös munka és összefogás nélkül nem lehetett volna leküzdeni. A közös, nemzetközi szinten egységes „áruosztályozási nyelvként” jelenleg alkalmazott Harmonizált Áruleíró és Kódrendszerről szóló nemzetközi egyezmény (HR-egyezmény) szerinti vámtarifa314 kifejlődéséhez azonban hosszú út vezetett. Jelen tanulmány ennek a fejlődési folyamatnak egy olyan fontos lépését – a Brüsszeli Nómenklatúra létrejöttét és annak jellemzőit –kívánja bemutatni, mely a ma alkalmazott árubesorolási rendszer kialakulásához vezetőlegfontosabb fejlődési állomásnak tekinthető. A nómenklatúrának jelentős szerepe volthazánkban is, ezért annak hazai alkalmazását is röviden bemutatja a tanulmány.
Lifestyle segmentation in the context of COVID-19
Authors: . Mansurali , . Deepa
Published: February 2022

Lifestyle is a set of characteristics consisting of daily routine, diet, fun activities, work and family of individuals. A review of previous research revealed that many studies were conducted to analyze the lifestyles of respondents using attitudes, opinions and interests with an objective to understand their buying behavior. A general clustering of respondents based on their lifestyles, in the context of COVID-19, would be useful for stakeholders like marketers, health care professionals and Government officials. Hence this paper attempts to group respondents based on their lifestyles. The study had a sample of 275 respondents from Tamilnadu, South India. A set of 32 questions based on the Activities, Interests and Opinions (AIO) model were used. Factor analysis, to arrive at meaningful aspects to group the respondents yielded 6 factors, based on which the respondents were grouped. Their demographic constitution was also examined. The study showed the existence of six distinct clusters in the context of COVID-19. This grouping has important implications for Government, Marketers and Healthcare officials to direct their communication, products and services, specific to those clusters. A review of literature showed a dearth of studies on lifestyle conducted during a pandemic in the Indian context. This study addresses the lacuna and would serve as a prototype that can be replicated on larger samples across countries to understand the impact of a pandemic on lifestyles of people. The study also threw light on the perspectives people have about them, their work and life.

Antecedentes: El Trastorno por Déficit de Atención/Hiperactividad (TDAH) es una de las afecciones más frecuentes en la población de edad escolar con una prevalencia del 5%, manifestándose de tres formas: la presentación combinada, predominante con falta de atención y la presentación predominante hiperactiva/impulsiva. Objetivos del estudio: este estudio tuvo como objetivo realizar una revisión sistemática de la literatura para analizar la efectividad de aquellos programas de intervención basados en tecnologías como la realidad virtual, realidad aumentada, juegos serios y videojuegos para niños y adolescentes diagnosticados con TDAH. Metodología: se realizó una búsqueda sistemática en las bases de datos PubMed, ScienceDirect y Scielo de aquellos estudios publicados entre 2016 y 2021. De un total de 183 artículos identificados, 21 cumplieron con los criterios inclusión o exclusión. Se siguieron los parámetros de Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA), y para reducir los sesgos se utilizó el checklist JBI Critical Appraisal Checklist for Analytical Cross-Sectional Studies (JBI-CSS). Resultados: la literatura encontrada demuestra la efectividad de las tecnologías en el diagnóstico, evaluación y rehabilitación de niños y adolescentes con TDAH. Conclusiones: implementar herramientas basadas en tecnología permiten mejorar la motivación la muestra, manejar diferentes estímulos que proporcionan entornos de aprendizaje, contribuir a la mejora de la sintomatología tanto en el ambiente escolar como en la vida cotidiana y mejorar habilidades no sólo cognitivas sino conductuales en los participantes.
Imaginarios políticos de estudiantes de Instituciones de Educación Superior, respecto a la incorporación política de las extintas FARC-EP
Authors: Saavedra Espitia Edwin Camilo , Useche Morillo Martha Liliana
Published: February 2022

El presente documento tiene como propósito analizar el imaginario político de estudiantes de IES (Instituciones de educación superior), acerca del tránsito de las antiguas FARC-EP a la vida democrática, a partir del segundo Acuerdo de Paz firmado entre el gobierno colombiano y esta guerrilla. El objetivo es caracterizar el imaginario de IES y las implicaciones que tendrían las FARC-Ep en la participación democrática. Para esto, se empleó una metodología cualitativa, con un diseño metodológico de teoría fundamentada, a través de la conformación de grupos focales y la aplicación de entrevistas semiestructuradas, realizadas en el año 2018 en tres IES, dos ubicadas en el centro de Bogotá y Fundación Universitaria del Área Andina. Como base interpretativa se tomaron las teorías de Cornelius Castoriadis, particularmente las expresadas en su texto La institución imaginaria de la sociedad (2013). En los resultados se pudo determinar la emergencia de 3 categorías de análisis (poder político, construcción de país y perdón), las cuales reflejaron un imaginario político de estudiantes de IES en el que prima el escepticismo frente al éxito político de los reinsertados, por la acción de las élites en el poder, lo que dificulta la construcción de país y refuerza el imaginario violento del pasado de las FARC, dificultando al tiempo el perdón y resultando en una oportunidad política limitada para este grupo. Como conclusiones emerge la necesidad de la reparación a las víctimas y las peticiones de perdón.

Reclaiming 'The Land', Restoring 'The Garden'? Georgian Georgic in the Modernist Moment and Beyond
Authors: Griffiths Matthew
Published: February 2022

To scrutinize georgic’s position between progress and tradition, this article will focus on the way those forces become legible in poems composed between the end of the First and Second World Wars. I will examine Vita Sackville-West’s long georgics The Land (1926) and The Garden (1946) to argue that they indicate the scope of what is possible in the genre given the challenges of both modernity and modernism. Her poems demonstrate that, in seeking to navigate the changing material and cultural landscapes, the labour of maintaining an imaginative tradition can be both productive and problematic. The article will assess the way Sackville-West positions herself as a writer in relation to the figures of the agricultural labourer and gardener and to the classical tradition, as well as her claims about the language in which georgic can and should be written. Each poem will also be compared to the poetry and criticism of her modernist contemporary T.S. Eliot, with particular reference to The Waste Land, Four Quartets and his essay “Tradition and the Individual Talent.” Engaged in a struggle on both agricultural and cultural fronts, The Land and The Garden are prone to inconsistency and, even by their own standards, failure. But in these failures as well as their successes both poems are committed to finding a way of writing human engagement with the land and literature. As such, they can be instructively read in the present moment to prompt questions about the way we engage with land and language in the Anthropocene, negotiating between competing modes of writing and more broadly between natural and human agency.
The ‘Interrupted Georgics’ of Mushrooms in Contemporary Irish Poetry
Authors: Bundschuh Jessica
Published: February 2022

The vitality of the georgic mode operates counter to inertia and disorder, driven by the initiative of dynamic labor. Still, Edna Longley, in coining the term “interrupted georgics,” argues that the rupture of war disrupting an agricultural scene defines the georgic. Accordingly, the precariousness of Ireland and Northern Ireland during the Troubles and the EU Referendum in a (pre/post-)Brexit context acts as a felicitous starting point for a generic revival of the georgic mode. Through a selection of contemporary mushroom poems that meditate on this contested history over a 45-year period—Derek Mahon, “A Disused Shed in Co. Wexford” (1973), Paul Muldoon, “Gathering Mushrooms” (1983), Ruth Carr, “Mushroom” (1995), Chris Agee, “Mushrooming” (2003), Padraig Regan, “Rehydrating Mushrooms” (2018), and Ailbhe Darcy, “Mushrooms” (2018)—this paper considers how mushrooms embody the georgic mode for the purpose of ecological remediation. These lyric explorations of the Anthropocene under discussion replicate a symbiotic relationship between the human and nonhuman world as situated within a georgic trajectory. While Virgil does not mention in the Georgics cultivating, foraging, and gathering of mushrooms, these activities, like beekeeping and farming, embody enduring georgic values of rugged curiosity and dogged resilience. As the fruit of mycelial networks, lyrical mushrooms (re)distribute violence across agricultural interconnection, to span specificity and outward scope. As a result, the mushroom becomes a ‘companion species’ capable of assuming the role of co-teacher and co-imparter of knowledge to a poet-as-observer in awe of its ingenuity.
Management of Minor ABO Incompatibility in Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplant by Plasma Reduction: Case Report from A Tertiary Care Private Hospital in Dhaka
Authors: Afroz Tamanna
Published: February 2022

Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) matching plays a crucial role in allogeneic SCT outcome and remains the single most important factor for donor selection.  ABO blood group barrier is often crossed between patient and donor. ABO incompatibility may cause acute haemolysis due to transfer of high titter donor isohaemagglutinins contained in the graft or in paediatric patients with small blood volume. To overcome this obstacle, some amount of plasma present in progenitor cell product can be reduced. Plasma reduction can be done in many ways. For a financial constrain set up, we did the plasma reduction manually to overcome the complications and cost. Here we are presenting a case report from Bangladesh.
Value-driven effects on perceptual averaging
Authors: Munneke Jaap , Duymaz İlker , Corbett Jennifer E.
Published: February 2022

Perceptual averaging refers to a strategy of encoding the statistical properties of entire sets of objects rather than encoding individual object properties, potentially circumventing the visual system’s strict capacity limitations. Prior work has shown that such average representations of set properties, such as its mean size, can be modulated by top-down and bottom-up attention. However, it is unclear to what extent attentional biases through selection history, in the form of value-driven attentional capture, influences this type of summary statistical representation. To investigate, we conducted two experiments in which participants estimated the mean size of a set of heterogeneously sized circles while a previously rewarded color singleton was part of the set. In Experiment 1, all circles were gray, except either the smallest or the largest circle, which was presented in a color previously associated with a reward. When the largest circle in the set was associated with the highest value (as a proxy of selection history), we observed the largest biases, such that perceived mean size scaled linearly with the increasing value of the attended color singleton. In Experiment 2, we introduced a dual-task component in the form of an attentional search task to ensure that the observed bias of reward on perceptual averaging was not fully explained by focusing attention solely on the reward-signaling color singleton. Collectively, findings support the proposal that selection history, like bottom-up and top-down attention, influences perceptual averaging, and that this happens in a flexible manner proportional to the extent to which attention is captured.
