Analyzing the Factors Influencing Scooter Usage and Safety Among Young Riders in Taiwan
Authors: Fei-Hui Huang
Published: November 2024

Approximately 1.24 million people die every year on the world’s roads, and another 20 to 50 million sustain nonfatal injuries as a result of road traffic crashes (WHO, 2013). Unfortunately, this number has not changed significantly over the past 10 years. Worldwide, traffic accidents are the leading cause of death for people aged 15-29 years and the ninth leading cause of death across all age groups (WHO, 2015). According to the World Health Organization (WHO, 2005), motor vehicle accidents are the second most frequent cause of death for individuals aged 5-29 years, and projections indicate that these figures will increase by about 65 percent over the next 20 years unless new commitments to prevention are made (WHO, 2004). In Taiwan, statistics from the Directorate General of Highways indicate that in 2020, there were 14.97 million licensed scooter riders, among whom approximately 1.42 million were young people aged 18 to 25, representing nearly 10% of the total. A significant number of young individuals are involved in scooter accidents. Data from 2020 show that among the fatalities within 30 days of road traffic accidents, 293 were scooter riders aged 18-24 (including those riding large scooters). The age group 18-19 exhibits the highest fatality rates from scooter accidents. Additionally, the injury rate for individuals aged 18-29 is three times higher than for other age groups. The highest incidence of scooter accidents occurs among students and young professionals. This study aims to explore potential alternative transportation options for young people and their demand for such alternatives. We plan to conduct a quantitative survey among students aged 18-24 to understand their perceptions and attitudes towards transportation modes, their experiences with scooter use, and their satisfaction levels. We aim to collect at least 100 and up to 500 valid questionnaires for statistical analysis. The results will provide insights into the primary reasons young people in Taiwan use scooters as a means of transportation and identify potential demands for alternative transportation methods or enhanced safety designs for scooter riding. Ultimately, the goal is to propose suggestions for improving road traffic safety for scooter riders.

Published: November 2024

With global climate change exhibiting drastic temperature changes, drivers will need more robust protections especially within colder climates. Since heated seats are in direct contact with a driver's body, it is the most efficient device in maintaining a driver's body temperature in cold environments. However, because thermal comfort thresholds differ for each person and vary depending on demographic factors (e.g., gender, age, and even ethnicity), the temperature range provided by existing heated seats are insufficient. The goal of this study is to set an effective temperature range by analyzing the relationships between environmental air temperatures/humidities and preferred temperatures of the heated seat for various demographics. In this study, measurements of the preferred heated-seat temperatures, in seated postures, were obtained from various people of four ethnicity groups (Asian, African American, Hispanic, and Caucasian) and two age groups (20-40 vs. 40-60) in three ambient temperature conditions (e.g., -7°C, 0°C, and 7°C). An environmental chamber capable of providing various temperatures and humidity levels was used in conjunction with a specially designed seat that allows participants to precisely control the temperatures of six areas within it (e.g., upper-back, lower-back, seatback bolster). By utilizing the collected datasets, statistical relationships between the air temperatures/humidities in the vehicle and the participants’ selected heated-seat temperatures were quantified. Furthermore, the effects of age, gender, and race on preferred heated-seat temperature will be quantified. The study result will provide the optimal ranges of preferred heated-seat temperatures for automobile manufacturers in designing heated seats.

evaluation and the most common ORM is CORA (Correlation and Analysis). Currently, no standards exist for the evaluation of CORA: it is up to the researcher to determine whether or not to use its software (CORAPlus) and what parameters they deem important for analysis. This high level of subjectivity shows there is a need for a more streamlined approach for the data processing of the CORA ORM. The goal of this research is to develop a systematic approach for future researchers to process and analyze the CORA ORM consistently. Data acquisition and preprocessing are an important part of this process. This paper describes how data can be extracted from the NHTSA Biomechanics Database which is comprised of over 15,000 biomechanical tests in an online repository, and how data can be filtered and processed to generate matched time histories for ORM processing. This proposed approach of data processing and optimization is the basis for the development of an algorithm that correlates objective rating metric similarity scores and injury severity. It has the potential to contribute to the improvement of vehicle safety.
Usability Factors and Guidelines for Climate Control Interfaces Using Big Data from Vehicles
Authors: Han Jeewon
Published: November 2024

Understanding user behavior accurately and designing interactions based on this understanding is essential for providing an enhanced user experience. This study focuses on vehicle climate control systems, aiming to quantitatively analyze user operation frequency through real-time data collected from the vehicles. By examining this behavior, the research seeks to provide actionable insights to optimize interaction design and improve the in-vehicle user experience.VCRM (Vehicle Customer Relationship Management) data was collected from approximately 70,000 vehicles whose drivers subscribed to and consented to connected services. This data is derived from the vehicles’ CAN signals and diagnostic communications, including real user information across various driving environments. The data, linked to details such as driving time, date, and weather conditions, allows for an analysis of macro-level usage patterns over time. For instance, while driving distance did not significantly influence operation patterns, interactions with the climate control system became simpler when driving speeds exceeded 30 km/h. This suggests that drivers tend to rely more on automatic controls at higher speeds, reducing the need for manual adjustments.Based on these insights, this study proposes several guidelines for optimizing climate control system layouts. Frequently used functions should be placed in easily accessible locations, while less commonly used or automated functions can be positioned farther away. This strategy aims to reduce cognitive load while driving and enhance driver safety. Furthermore, the study highlights the importance of customizable interfaces that adapt to different driving conditions and user preferences, allowing for a more personalized experience.In addition to proposing these guidelines, this study developed a concept for integrating them into an IVI (In-Vehicle Infotainment) system. This optimized layout was tested through user experiments, which demonstrated improvements in task completion times and reduced driver distraction. Eye-tracking data particularly revealed that drivers spent less time focusing on the system, thereby lowering cognitive load during operation.By utilizing real driving data instead of traditional surveys or lab-based experiments, this study presents a novel approach to accurately analyze user behavior. This data-driven methodology facilitates the design of more intuitive and user-centered vehicle interfaces, simultaneously improving both safety and user satisfaction. This study underscores the importance of data-driven UX design and offers valuable insights for the future direction of automotive interface design.

Published: November 2024

Voice interaction has played an important role in various scenarios such as smart homes, cars, and healthcare due to its ease of use, efficiency, and convenience. However, errors in voice interaction can greatly affect the user experience. This paper aims to explore the impact of different error feedback methods on user experience, with the goal of improving the user experience of voice interaction. The study utilizes a combination of subjective and objective approaches by creating an experimental platform to collect facial expression data and emotional valence evaluation data from participants. By analyzing the data, user preferences for different feedback methods can be determined. The findings suggest that in directive task scenarios, users prefer feedback that directly explains the error. In broadcast task scenarios, users prefer feedback that explains the error and provides a commitment to resolve it. In conversational task scenarios, users prefer intelligent voice assistants to take the lead in the conversation, guide its direction, and provide specific event suggestions. This research contributes to a better understanding of the impact of error feedback methods on user experience and provides guidance and reference for the design of future error feedback methods in voice interaction.

Published: November 2024

This study explores technology-based learner autonomy in Tunisian higher education, focusing on the Raqqada English department. It examines student engagement with technology-driven learning and the challenges faced by educators, highlighting a gap between students' theoretical readiness for self-directed learning and their actual use of digital tools. Utilising a mixed-methods approach, quantitative data were collected from 102 English students via questionnaires, and qualitative data from interviews with 25 educators. Findings reveal that while 80% of students engage in autonomous learning outside the classroom, in-class technology usage is significantly lower, indicating a disconnect with existing infrastructure. Furthermore, 76% of students acknowledge technology's role in supporting diverse learning styles, and 67% link smart classrooms to increased motivation. However, challenges such as limited digital literacy, inadequate training, and poor infrastructure hinder effective technology integration. Educators expressed concerns about rigid teaching methods and insufficient autonomy at earlier educational levels, suggesting that autonomy is better developed at the master's level. The study concludes that enhancing infrastructure, training, and digital resource availability is crucial for advancing learner autonomy. Recommendations include fostering intercultural collaboration through programs like Collaborative Online International Learning (COIL) and implementing varied assessment methods to evaluate learner autonomy better. Additionally, professional development programs for educators and students are necessary to promote autonomy and active learning strategies.

The traditional drink plays a role as a medium in customary ceremonies, a welcome drink, and a bond for social relationships. There are positive and negative effects experienced while consuming the traditional drink. The role of community health centers is hindered by societal culture. The family plays a role in shaping positive perceptions regarding the consumption of traditional drinks. It is recommended that the community understands the dangers of excessive consumption of the traditional drink and reduces its consumption. The health center is expected to participate more actively in efforts to change community behavior and collaborate with local leaders, religious figures, and village government. Families are encouraged to instill positive values in their children and support changes in the consumption
Adam Mez, an unbiased orientalist the reception of Adam Mez in Arab orientalist studies
Authors: Alsaied Mohamad Abdullah , Sallami Abdeddayem
Published: November 2024

This paper is on Adam Mez, a renown German Orientalist whose works contributed greatly to the presentation and examination of the Islamic history, society and culture. His interest in the Muslim world guided him to explore the Islamic civilization compressively by studying its history and culture in more depth.  His quest into the Islamic culture resulted in concluding all his findings in his book “The Renaissance of Islam”. The publication is considered as an invaluable resource offering an accurate examination of the different aspects of the Muslim world in the 10th century. The least that could be said about this book is its unbiasedness and unprejudicedness in introducing and addressing the historic, cultural and societal models of the Islamic world. Despite his comparatively short lifetime, he developed a significant study on Muslim civilization that constituted and still does a primary reference for researchers and students seeking an informed understanding of the Islamic world. As an orientalist, Adam Mez adopted a research construct that enabled him to produce a lucid and comprehensive study on a range of features of the Islamic world. His “Renaissance of Islam” encompassed the Islamic government and its structural design with an emphasis on the importance and role of the Caliphate. He addressed administration and how the Islamic state of the time run its territories with a focus on the functions of the existing institutions, hence the judiciary system and how this guided and shaped the Islamic social life of the time. In the further course, his view on the scientific, literary and religious development in the 4th/10th centuries is analysed in a way that offered a detailed account on an array of aspects of the Islamic civilisation of the time. Interestingly, Mez's could present his view on tolerance of Muslims, which is apparently observed by portraying the image of women in Muslim society for example, as well as a reference to openness to others who differ in ethnicity, religion, or social status. Mez's research clearly shows impartiality and openness while approaching the different aspects of the Islamic world. This is evident in his adoption of the multitude of contemporary Orientalists whose research models sought a strictly scientific methodology aiming at producing an objective and unbiased account on the Islamic world, its history, culture and social lives. In this context, the importance of reviewing the works of unbiased, academically rigorous Orientalists cannot be overemphasized. These form the common human denominator that establishes cohesion among different societies and international understanding.

Authors: WIDJAJA GUNAWAN
Published: November 2024

The controversies on death sentencing are not new. The debates over the existence of death sentencing policies and regulations can be flashed back to the existence of human beings. Many instruments have been created, discussed, and agreed upon to protect the use of death penalty sentencing through manifesting human rights. Death sentencing, under the current view, cannot be seen and treated outside the scope of human rights issues. Indonesia has issued Law No.1 of 2023 regarding the Criminal Code. Meanwhile, many countries have tried to abolish the use of death sentencing, and this new law on criminal law has incorporated death sentencing in its provisions and applications by courts. The research aims to discuss the death sentencing policies and regulations in Indonesia before and after the new Criminal Code issuance in 2023. The research is normative legal research that discusses death sentencing in Indonesia. The data used in this research are secondary, which consists of primary, secondary, and tertiary legal sources. Primary legal sources will consist of laws and regulations that were and are currently applicable. Secondary legal sources are writings and journal articles that discuss death sentencing in Indonesia, besides Law No.1 of 2023. Tertiary legal sources are other sources outside the above scope that may be useful to provide more understanding of the subject matters, such as web-based sources. Analysis was conducted using a qualitative approach to describe and explain the conceptual norm and its application to death sentencing. Findings and discussion proved that irrespective of the debate over the morality of death sentencing, Indonesia still recognized the use of death sentencing in some instances, such as premeditated murder, corruption, terrorism, narcotics, and illegal drug trafficking. They came from court decisions that followed prior laws and legislations before promulgating the new Criminal Code 2023.

Study of the Framework and Attributes of Ethical Standards in Journalism
Authors: Rezaee Mohammad Taqi , Sayes Ajmal , Bahaduri Juma khan
Published: November 2024

It has always been difficult to create fair evaluation criteria for journalists, especially when it comes to judging morality and ethical conduct in news reporting. These guidelines function as yardsticks for gauging the ethics of news topics and the objectivity of journalistic techniques. These criteria are becoming more and more difficult as journalism changes, especially in the digital age. Fostering ethical journalism requires an understanding of its categorization and internal structure. This analysis employs a conceptual framework to explore the evaluation standards of news ethics. The method involves: Literature Review: Examining existing academic literature, ethical codes, and industry guidelines to outline the prevailing evaluation standards in journalism. Thematic Analysis: Identifying and categorizing the components of evaluation standards into normative and quality standards, assessing their relevance to different aspects of journalistic practice. Case Studies: Analyzing specific instances where journalistic ethics were put to the test, allowing for a practical understanding of how these standards function in real-world scenarios. The primary objective of this study is to clarify the internal structure of journalistic ethics evaluation standards and highlight the distinctions between normative and quality standards. By doing so, the analysis aims to provide insights into how these standards can be effectively applied to evaluate news behaviors and moral character in journalism. What is deemed ethical in one context may not hold the same weight in another. This relativity underscores the importance of understanding the specific circumstances surrounding journalistic practices. Historical Context: The evolution of journalistic ethics is tied to historical events and societal changes. Standards that once sufficed may need reevaluation to address contemporary challenges, particularly with the rise of digital media and misinformation. Complex Internal Structure: The internal structure of evaluation standards can be multi-layered, with different levels of criteria applied depending on the context and specific ethical dilemmas faced by journalists. This complexity requires continuous dialogue and adjustment as new ethical challenges arise. Practical Implications: Journalists and media organizations must engage with these standards actively, incorporating them into training and policy development. By fostering an understanding of both normative and quality standards, the industry can promote a more ethical and accountable journalism practice.

Published: November 2024

Spigelian hernias (SH) are very rare, representing approximately 0.5% to 2% of ventral wall hernia defects. Due to their low incidence, they pose a diagnostic and surgical challenge in General Surgery. This case report describes a rare strangulated Spigelian hernia causing intestinal obstruction in a 72-year-old female with a history of laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The patient presented with periumbilical pain, nausea, vomiting, and no bowel movements for 48 hours. Initial imaging suggested partial obstruction, but a CT scan confirmed herniation of ileal loops through the Spigelian aponeurosis. Surgical intervention included ileum resection, hernioplasty with mesh, and VAC drain placement. The complexity of diagnosing Spigelian hernias arises from their location, resembling umbilical or incisional hernias, and risk factors like obesity. This case emphasizes the need for accurate imaging and prompt surgery to prevent complications.

The use of English in service operations is very necessary in communicating with service users who not only come from Indonesia but also from abroad. Therefore, the use of English is very important in-service operations at the airport. This research aims to analyze code mixing as a communication strategy among passengers and employees at Hasanuddin International Airport. The design of this research was qualitative research.
It is called collaborative qualitative because the research directly involves employees and international passengers as respondents. The research results show that there are three types of code mixing, namely alternation, congruence, and lexicalization. Respondents participated in interviews, which yielded information about the variables that influence the use of code mixing in textual communication regarding code mixing as a communication strategy between employees and international passengers.
There are seven factors that cause code mixing, namely (1) lack of mastery, especially mastery of English, (2) intention to increase prestige, (3) wanting to show off one's skills, (4) searching for identity, (5) habits, (6) want to joke (make jokes) and (7) relaxed conversation situation (formality).
It can be concluded that this research identifies three forms of code mixing, namely substitution, congruence and lexicalization and this is influenced by several factors in the occurrence of code mixing among employees and international passengers

REZAS E COMENSALIDADES EM UM PROCESSO DE RESSIGNIFICAÇÃO DA DÁDIVA
Authors: Pereira Antonio Renaldo Gomes , Lima César Augusto Viana de
Published: November 2024

Personagem comum em todo território brasileiro, a rezadeira é descrita de diferentes formas, sendo geralmente atrelada à imagem de uma mulher idosa, capaz de debelar o mal dos “clientes” enfermos que a procuram. Neste universo, por falar em nome de uma religião, a rezadeira pode não ser entendida caso sua religião não seja considerada. Através de seu ofício, enquanto cientista popular e integrante de uma comunidade, cria uma rede de solidariedade na qual figuram ela própria e sua clientela, principalmente. Objetivamos com este trabalho tecer algumas reflexões sobre comensalidade no ofício das rezadeiras. Por mais que a rezadeira se identifique com uma religião específica, a prática do seu ofício, por vezes, confunde-se com outros saberes advindos de religiões distintas ou mesmo de outras práticas populares. Trata-se de um estudo de cunho exploratório e descritivo, com abordagem qualitativa. O cenário do estudo se dá no município de Cuité-PB. A análise do discurso se deu por meio dos estudos teórico-conceituais de Fiorin (2008). Neste âmbito, refletir sobre a comensalidade nas relações de dádiva que se tecem em torno das rezadeiras pode nos ajudar a compreender outras percepções de mundo, na medida em que esses atores são desafiados a encontrar alternativas e soluções para a cura de enfermidades enquanto novos sentidos e significações são produzidos no bojo dessas relações.
