The Convergent Validity of Computer Operating Systems’ Usability Evaluation by Popular Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) Robots
Authors: K Y Chan Victor
Published: January 2024

This article seeks to examine the convergent validity of (and thus the consistency between) computer operating systems’ (OSs’) usability evaluation by a number of popular generative artificial intelligence (AI) robots. Totally 18 popular OS versions were included in the study, they specifically being the various versions of the three leading OS families of Windows, macOS, and Linux. Usability was evaluated in eight major dimensions, namely, (1) effectiveness, (2) efficiency, (3) learnability, (4) memorability, (5) safety, (6) utility, (7) ergonomics, and (8) accessibility. Experimenting with a handful of generative AI robots, Microsoft’s Copilot, Google’s PaLM, and Meta’s Llama managed to individually accord rating scores to the aforementioned eight dimensions. For each robot of this trio, the minimum, the maximum, the range, and the standard deviation of the rating scores for each of the eight dimensions were computed across the OS versions. The rating score difference for each of the eight dimensions between each pair of these robots was calculated for each OS version. The mean of the absolute value, the minimum, the maximum, the range, and the standard deviation of the differences for each dimension between each robot pair were calculated across the OS versions. A paired sample t-test was then applied to each dimension for the rating score difference between each robot pair over the versions. Finally, Cronbach's coefficient alpha () of the rating scores was computed for each dimension between all the three robots across the versions. These computational outcomes were to affirm whether each robot awarded discrimination in evaluating each dimension across the OS versions, whether each robot vis-à-vis any other robots erratically and/or systematically overrate or underrate any dimension over the OS versions, and whether there was high convergent validity of (and thus consistency between) all the three robots in evaluating each dimension across the OS versions. Among other ancillary results, it was found that the convergent validity of the three robots in evaluating all the eight dimensions was high, and thus such evaluation is trustworthy at least to an extent.

Authors: Albano Silvia , A Middleton Deborah , Longo Gianmarco
Published: January 2024

Artificial intelligence is anticipated to reduce design project development times, enhance our understanding of user experience, and be instrumental in stimulating radical socio-technological changes for the second half of the 21st century. The aim of this paper is to propose typologies of physical workspaces to improve the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in design practice. This paper examines how physical workspaces were used to support designers engaging in variable creative workflow that integrates generative AI. The research critically investigates and analyzes how physical and virtual spaces (studio working spaces and virtual platforms) were used to generate a functional environment in which create speculative phenomenal experiences through AI visualizations (Vizcom and Midjourney). The space configurations, during a series of pre-structured activities, are seen to better support the designers’ productivity and increase social collaboration and interaction through the arrangement of a range of interior spaces.
Dual Particle Filtering of Intelligent Driver Model Parameters for Indirect Detection of Driving Anomalies
Authors: Suzuki Hironori , Seki Ryuya
Published: January 2024

Abnormal driving behavior, such as excessive speed and reckless and aggressive driving, is recognized as causing more than 50% of fatal accidents. The detection of abnormal driving behavior has a wide range of applications and is expected to be used not only to directly suppress abnormal driving behavior but also to be factored into the price of automobile insurance premiums. This paper proposes a new approach to abnormal driving detection that requires neither in-car cameras nor physiological sensors. Instead, this approach makes full use of an intelligent driver model (IDM) and its parameters, where vehicle acceleration is assumed to indicate abnormal driving behavior. In an experiment using a driving simulator, subjects were asked to text on a mobile phone to collect data on their driving behavior with and without distractions. Numerical analysis showed that IDM parameters estimated by dual particle filtering could accurately detect driving abnormalities without the use of direct driver monitoring systems such as on-board cameras or sensors.
Retrospective Temporal Perception with Virtual Products in Local Environments
Authors: Olmos Pineda Lorena , Gil Tejeda Jorge
Published: January 2024

It was observed that a group of students in a cross-sectional study perceived a rapid passage of time during the exploration of the virtual product used as a tool in the classroom. The characteristics that accompanied this temporal perception included the detection of a resource with a high percentage of spatial interaction as well as integrated by a closed linguistic system, additionally a negative valence in the emotional response in the majority of people as users in relation to the analyzed virtual product. The results indicate that a fast perception of time is not necessarily linked to activities with a positive valence in emotional response, but there are factors related to the object that contribute to this type of perception, and they could also be linked to complex cognitive processes that inhibit certain processes for the development of others.
Exploration of Patterns in Emotional Response and Retrospective Cognitive Load during Interaction with a Virtual Product
Authors: Gil Tejeda Jorge , Olmos Pineda Lorena
Published: January 2024

A cross-sectional study was conducted with 9 students in a classroom, allowing the identification of certain patterns during their interactions with a virtual product used as an educational tool. A correlation was observed among emotional response, cognitive load, and the dominant linguistic system in the virtual product. It was also noted that the prevalent use of a linguistic system can lead to a higher demand for resources for accurate spatial localization, contributing to the generation of high cognitive load. Additionally, these factors were observed to influence the perception of time in these studies. The utilization of self-report methods can offer valuable insights into the user's perspective, enhancing our understanding of how their individual interaction processes are constructed.

To do so, inter-disciplinary education which -among others- blends science and humanitarian studies, and creativity development explored in technology-enhanced learning environments, are found to be of great importance. In this direction, we developed a web-based educational framework appealing to engineering students’ needs in higher education. In this study, it is explored how STEAM methodology bridges the desired educational standards to 21st century skills and consecutively it is proved that students’ involvement in a properly designed STEAM problem-solving instructional scenario affects positively their creative thinking skills. Through the experimental design, students elaborated on the factors that structure creativity, such as imagination, self-esteem, experimentation, implementation, and communication throughout their engagement in the creative problem-solving process in a STEAM methodology framework, called “STEAMapT2theGalaxy”.
Designing a User-Centred Team Role Testing APP: Revealing Team Dynamics Through Visual Analysis
Authors: Zhao Xinlei , Hopkins Gail
Published: January 2024

In today's fast-paced work environment, teamwork is considered to be one of the most effective ways of working. Teams facilitate cross-functional collaboration by assembling members with diverse backgrounds and areas of expertise. Nonetheless, the calibre of teamwork is contingent not solely upon the individual competencies of specific team members but also upon how well the roles and skills of each member are coordinated and balanced within the team. The allocation of roles within a team exerts a profound influence on the team's overall performance, and unfair or ineffective distribution principles can lead to significantly lower team performance in practice. Hence, in practical team collaboration, the equitable allocation of roles within the team is a challenging issue. The primary aim of this study is to design a visual tool to foster the establishment of an appropriately skills-balanced team while facilitating team members' comprehension of team dynamics.Following a comprehensive review of team working and team role allocation practices we proposed Belbin team roles as the theoretical underpinning for the tool’s team role equilibrium processes. We employed a qualitative methodology to gather user requirements, undertaking unstructured interviews with ten individuals experienced in collaborative working. Detailed user requirements were gathered from this data and an interactive prototype was designed using Axure. The prototype was designed to analyse users’ personality types with respect to Belbin team roles and use this information to allow the optimum allocation of members to teams for a proposed project. The tool also allows the make-up of the team to be visualized using a range of graphics which present the outcomes of team assessments and offer developmental recommendations tailored to the specific industry of the team.The tool was evaluated using a combination of the User Experience Questionnaire (UEQ) and semi-structured interviews. Two rounds of evaluation were conducted, using a further 10 individuals; five were non-industry users and five were industry experts. After each iteration the prototype design was refined.The design underscores the significance of product design and iterative processes grounded in user requirements within the realm of mobile application design. Such insights may hold substantial implications for teams across diverse industries and work environments, particularly concerning the equilibrium of team roles and the dynamics within teams in the future.
Development of a System for Real-time Assessment and Modification of Team-based Exercises
Authors: Liu Alan , Wainess Richard
Published: January 2024

This project seeks to develop a Multimodal Performance Evaluation System (MPES), a system for real-time evaluation of individual and team stress levels suitable for a wide array of military medical training and assessment domains and conditions. This system was designed to identify changes in stress levels during training scenarios and determine whether changes to environmental or task stressors are needed. MPES capitalizes on the predictive abilities of pretest data (cognitive and affective) along with real-time physiological and sociometric data, to make claims about individual team member stress levels during training and aggregating that data into a team stress-level score. Our overarching goal was to improve the quality of training for medical teams, by adapting scenario-related characteristics to maximize stress levels, while avoiding overstressing to the point of performance failure. MPES is designed to be utilized in a variety of training environments of varying complexity, including screen-based, head-mount, immersive VR theatre, and open field exercises. Independent variables include heart rate, skin temperature, vocal characteristics. Moderating variables are working memory capacity and eight affective variables (e.g., extroversion and emotional stability). A Machine Learning approach using TPOT (a Python Automated Machine Learning Tool) was utilized for validation of the MPES analytic engine. Results indicate that the system is sensitive to individual differences and is capable of reliably reporting on perceived stress level.

TAKHARUJ; SOLUSI SYAR’I PEMBAGIAN WARIS SECARA DAMAI
Authors: Hamzawi Mohammad Adib
Published: January 2024

Inheritance law is the law that regulates the transfer of inheritance rights (tirkah) of heirs, determining who has the right to be an heir. Inheritance is basically a sharia whose legal provisions are manshus (determined directly by al-Shari' in the Koran). However, the reality in Indonesian Muslim society in particular is that, for whatever reason, inheritance law is rarely used. The majority of Indonesian Muslim communities tend to divide inheritance assets equally between heirs. At this level, there needs to be a bridge between the provisions of the text and inheritance practices in society. Efforts are needed so that, even if only in writing, the tirkah as the deceased's inheritance is distributed according to the rules of Islamic law. According to the author, the concept of takharuj has the urgency to play a role as a bridge between the practical realm of dividing inheritance equally but still prioritizing the rules for dividing inheritance based on sharia. Takharuj is peace between the heirs with the condition that some of them are willing to give up their share of the inheritance in exchange for certain things from the inheritance or other things, by first dividing the tirkah into fardh (definite portion), then the share/quota of the person who leaves is thrown away. /discarded from the origin of the problem or aul in exchange for disposing of or reducing the takharuj portion of the tirkah
Unveiling Orientalism: The Mystification, Stereotyping, and Exclusion in Margaret Atwood’s “The Man from Mars”
Authors: Li Jie , Zhao Fangyu
Published: January 2024

“The Man from Mars,” a short story by Margaret Atwood, is a potent critique of Westerners’ common misconceptions and stereotypes about Asians that prompt the exclusion of the Asian hero from Canadian society. Atwood intentionally challenges the deeply ingrained prejudices against individuals from Eastern cultures in Western epistemes by enveloping the unnamed hero in mystery. Drawing on Edward Said’s Orientalism, the study debunks recurrent stereotypes concerning the hero’s “peculiarities” by analyzing their external triggers and highlighting their universal nature. It promotes a deeper comprehension of the intricate interplays between personal experiences, cultural adaptations, and psychological variables.
Poetry Translation and Creative Misreading—on Gopal Sukhu’s English Rendering of “Lisao”
Authors: Chen Qimin
Published: January 2024

This article aims to analyze Gopal Sukhu’s singular misreading of the Chinese poem “Lisao” in his English translation, examine the reasons and types of his misreading, and explore the wider implications of misreading for literary translation. Misreading is integral to poem translation due to the semiotic nature of language, the aesthetic appeal of poetry, the idiosyncrasy of translator, and the communicative purpose of translation. It is found that in his translation of “Lisao”, Sukhu makes deliberate misreading in four dimensions, namely, retelling the allegorical story, turning ambiguity into clarity, making adaptation on rhetoric devices, and creating textual cohesion. Sukhu’s creative misreading endows a renewed poetic value to the original.

The Association of Personality Characteristics with Learning Strategy Preferences
Authors: Conti Gary J. , McNeil Rita C.
Published: January 2024

The purpose of this study was to describe the association between the learning strategy preference of the learners as identified by Assessing The Learning Strategies of AdultS (ATLAS) and the individual personality traits as defined by the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). The sample was 553 adults in Canada and the United States. Two types of analyses were used to investigate the association between learning strategy preferences and personality traits. First, discriminant analysis explored the interaction of personality traits with the learning strategy preference. Second, analysis of variance measured the association of each personality trait with the learning-strategy-preference groups separately. The findings provided several explicit personality traits associated with each learning-strategy-preference group. These findings support the conclusion that a strong association exists between personality traits and learning-strategy-preference characteristics. Learning strategy preferences and personality traits complement each other. Each clarifies and enriches the other. As a result, teachers have two indicators that can help them personalize the teaching-learning environment for each student. Teachers can use the learning-strategy-group descriptions as guides for organizing each learner's instructional activities and plans and as a cognitive framework for uncovering and monitoring student behaviors and alerting teachers to potential learning difficulties for some students. Students can apply the descriptions of the learning-strategy-preference groups to facilitate self-assessment and metacognition. Theory can be enhanced by considering the two concepts of learning strategy preferences and personality traits coupled and by conducting quantitative and qualitative research to test and expand the generalizability of the learning-strategy-group descriptions.

Dietary Restrictions as a Source of Food Insecurity among FGCU Students, Faculty, and Staff
Authors: Shaira Musarrat
Published: January 2024

Food insecurity is an issue that creates several challenges for individuals, including health complications, eating disorders, loss of productivity, and reduced ability. While food insecurity tends to be associated with poverty, unemployment, or lack of available food, dietary restrictions may also lead to food insecurity in places where food is otherwise plentiful. Dietary restrictions from allergies, cultural/ religious belief systems, and lifestyle choices could prevent access to food resulting in food insecurity. For example, halal requires believers to follow religious guidelines when eating. People who eat halal food avoid pork, alcohol, and dead animals, and only eat meals that are prepared according to Islamic law. As a result, a person practicing halal could experience food insecurity in places where their dietary considerations are not met. This study consists of a self-perception survey to better understand individuals’ dietary requirements, access to food, and the perceived effects of skipping meals on academic performance, professional work, and mental health. Results show that 70.8% of the participants have some form of dietary restrictions with the common forms coming from allergies (62.1%), personal preferences (31.8%), and cultural/religious beliefs (6.1%). The vast majority of participants with dietary restrictions described some difficulties finding food on campus with some saying that they could not find any appropriate food options. This study seems to indicate that dietary restrictions could be a factor leading to food insecurity, which also affects academic performance and physical and mental health. As a result, we need to invest in more food options, better labeling, and improved education to alleviate the detrimental effects of dietary restrictions on food insecurity.
A Longitudinal Examination of Obsessive-Compulsive Symptom Severity as a Predictor of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Development
Authors: Mantei Mia
Published: January 2024

It is well established in literature that Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) have high rates of comorbidity. Many studies consider trauma exposure as an etiological factor in the development of Obsessive Compulsive (OC) symptoms, however no research to date has considered the contributions of OC symptoms in the development and maintenance of posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) following a traumatic event. Previous literature reports that trauma type and distress tolerance both influence presence and severity of PTSS and OC symptoms. The present study utilizes archival data from 97 trauma-exposed participants selected from a larger randomized controlled trial of four web-based interventions for anxiety and mood symptoms (N = 303). A hierarchical linear regression indicated that baseline OC symptoms predicted long-term follow-up PTSS over and above the variance explained by baseline PTSS, treatment condition, and trauma load. Further, a significant trauma type by OC symptom severity interaction indicated that baseline OC symptom severity had a greater effect on the development or maintenance of PTSS for individuals who experienced interpersonal trauma, as compared to those who experienced non-interpersonal trauma. Additionally, a mediation model demonstrated that month 3 distress tolerance fully mediated the relationship between baseline OC symptoms and long-term follow-up PTSS. The present study was limited by possible treatment effects, outdated methodologies utilized in the original study, and attrition. Despite its limitations the current study provides novel findings and advances our understanding of the relationship between OCD and PTSD symptoms.
A participação de mulheres como técnicas em equipes de futsal no Paraná
Authors: Vidal Rafael Gemin , Cezne Alessandra Fátima
Published: January 2024

O objetivo do presente estudo foi elucidar em que termos acontece a inclusão de mulheres como treinadoras de equipes profissionais de futsal no Paraná. Para tanto, foram entrevistadas as cinco mulheres registradas como treinadoras na chave ouro do campeonato paranaense, com 38 ± 8 anos de idade, com 18 ± 6 anos de profissão, tendo suas respostas organizadas de acordo com a teoria da análise de conteúdo de Bardin (1977). No que diz respeito à inserção no esporte, nota-se que se dá através dos círculos sociais compostos de família e amigos primeiramente como expectadoras, passando para atletas e posteriormente para treinadoras. Esta última posição se dá primeiramente através da formação acadêmica, onde já acontecem as primeiras experiências com a gestão esportiva, não necessariamente na modalidade, mas, que as mesmas utilizam de iniciação para a prática laboral, transferindo essa seara de conhecimentos e vivências para a gestão em seus clubes e participação em competições, absorvendo os demais personagens (gestores, atletas, torcida, árbitros e adversários) neste ínterim, onde as mesmas relatam ainda haver muito preconceito, ainda que velado, mas, que transpor essa barreira é apenas mais uma motivação para trabalhar. Em suma, é possível concluir que o espaço da mulher no futsal vem sendo galgado em diversas frentes, e para que haja ampliação no número de treinadoras, é necessário expandir o acesso e consequentemente, a quantidade de praticantes na modalidade.

Field material for assessing the diet of grazed domestic animals was collected in the summer season of 2020 on the territory of the Black Lands (the southern part of the Caspian lowland within the borders of the Republic of Kalmykia). The research area belongs to the northern subzone of the desert zone (Zones and Zones…, 1999). Data on the composition of forage plants in the diet of jointly grazed sheep, cows and horses were obtained using the method of microhistological cuticular analysis of excrement. This method is used for the first time to assess the diet of sheep, cows and horses in the study area. 25 plant species were identified in the summer diet of grazed animals, of which 21 species were noted when describing vegetation in the key area. It was revealed that the diet of grazed domestic animal species differs in the ratio of the main forage groups of plants in it: cereals, sedges and various grasses. The share of cereals is the highest in the diet of horses (92%), and the share of various grasses prevails in the diet of sheep (35%).

43 species of nesting birds were registered of Tiraspol City’s resident area in 1999–2019. The total density was about 1995,7–2361 pairs/km2 . House Sparrow, Rock Dove, Tree Sparrow and Common Swift were the dominants. Crested Lark, Willow Warbler and Wood Warbler disappeared from nesting ornithofauna of resident area. Common Kestrel, Common Woodpigeon, Eurasian Scops-owl, Robin, Blackbird, Song Thrush, Blue Tit and Eurasian Nuthatch for 20 years were appeared. A signifi cant increase in abundance was noted in populations of Rock Dove, Long-eared Owl, Common Swift, Eurasian Golden Oriole, Rook and Tree Sparrow. There was a decrease in the number in the populations of Chiffchaff, Northern Wheatear, Black Redstart, House Sparrow and Chaffi nch. The majority of birds nesting in the resident area belong to the Transpalearctic type of the fauna, to the desert-mountains landscape-genetic faunistic complex, to the sklerophilnai ecological group and phytophagan trophic group.

In 2022, studies of the species diversity of plant communities, their aboveground mass and the resource-feeding potential of various types of steppes and meadows in the “Tsimlyansky” nature reserve were conducted. The method of vegetation cover mowing (n = 29) in seven types of steppes and meadows determined the aboveground mass of 101 species of herbaceous plants within the ancient Chir landscape of the Don-Tsimlyansk sand massif. The species richness of plant communities varies between (5.7±1.7) – (14.0±1.2) species/0.25 m2 and averages 10.1±1.0 species/0.25 m2. The average share of cereal species in the communities is 23%, and grasses are almost 3 times more – 64%. The total aboveground biomass in 7 types of steppes and meadows varies between (197.4±25.6) – (379.1±92.5) g/m2. The accumulated mort (necro) mass is (152.2±12.5) – (411.9±43.9) g/m2.
Lichens of pristine and disturbed oligotrophic bogs of the Samotlor oil field

Decades of active development of the natural resources of the Middle Ob region of Western Siberia have significantly changed the natural landscapes at the most large oil fields, which has affected the composition of the flora of this area. This process was especially reflected in large areas of oligotrophic bogs, the vegetation of which is a sensitive indicator of environmental disturbance. For the first time, a list of epigeic and epiphytic lichens collected on the territory of the Samotlor oil field on native oligotrophic bogs and in secondary anthropogenically modified landscapes that have originated from them is given. A total of 80 species of lichens have been registered. Epigean lichens are mainly represented by species of genus Cladonia, which, in addition to native sites, are also found in technogenically transformed habitats. Species capable of developing in oil-contaminated areas have been identified. The average period of the initial colonization of oil and salt-contaminated oligotrophic peat soils by lichens ranges from 6–7 to 12–15 years. Among epiphytic lichens, there is a spread of some species to an atypical substrate for them, which may indicate both air pollution by products of combustion of gas flares and an increase in the general dust content of the atmosphere of oil fields.

Na antiguidade grega, o transtorno mental era definido por "sem razão" ou por algo sobrenatural, segundo Homero e Hesíodo. Espera-se com esse estudo contribuir para a ampliação dos conhecimentos de profissionais e estudantes da área da saúde, bem como para pacientes e familiares, referente a assistência de enfermagem a pacientes com transtornos mentais. Trata-se de uma revisão narrativa da literatura sobre a assistência de enfermagem a pacientes com transtornos mentais, o levantamento bibliográfico foi realizado através da base de dados scientific Electronic (Scielo), e google acadêmico. A busca dos dados ocorreu entre maio e junho de 2023, utilizando-se como palavras chaves "saúde mental, transtornos mentais, assistência de enfermagem, enfermagem". Os transtornos mentais, são caracterizados, por fatores predisponentes durante a vida diária, que afetam o indivíduo no âmbito social, físico, psicossocial e família, o que se faz necessário estratégias sistematizada pela equipe de enfermagem, com foco no paciente e coletividade, para intervenções individualizadas (TREVISAN; CASTRO, 2021). No presente estudo, os principais achados de fatores para transtornos mentais foram alterações cognitivas, sensação de incapacidade, perda da própria identidade, genética, mudanças de comportamento e personalidade e o esgotamento físico (FRANÇA et al., 2022). Conclui-se por meio desse estudo que a assistência de enfermagem a pacientes com transtornos mentais é fundamental para a promoção e prevenção à saúde, estratégias como o cuidado, capacitação para profissionais, conscientização, palestras, oficinas e ética na qual todos devem prezar pela vida do paciente, prestando um cuidado humanizado e de qualidade contribuem para uma assistência de qualidade.
