SELF CONFIDENCE: VALUE-MOTIVATIONAL ASPECT
Authors: Головина Е.В.
Published: October 2020

Целью исследования являлось теоретическое обоснование и выявление взаимосвязей между уверенностью в себе , атрибутивным стилем (АС), смысложизненными ориентациями (СЖО) и уровнем переживания счастья , а также различий в их уровне у респондентов с разной выраженностью уверенности в себе . Для проверки гипотез проведено эмпирическое исследование, в котором использовались следующие методики: Тест уверенности в себе В.Г. Ромека; опросник атрибутивного стиля - ШОСТО (М. Селигман, адаптация Т.О. Гордеевой и др.); тест СЖО Д.А. Леонтьева; Эмоциональный тест М. Фордайса. В исследовании приняли участие люди с разным уровнем образования и с разным материальным достатком (60 респондентов, от 20 до 60 лет). Для анализа данных использовались методы непараметрической статистики (анализ корреляций Спирмена, и критерий Краскалла-Уоллиса для определения различий между группами респондентов). В эмпирическом исследовании основные гипотезы подтвердились: обнаружены взаимосвязи уверенности с АС, СЖО и переживанием счастья; выявлены значимые различия в субъективном уровне переживания счастья, в уровне АС как в позитивных, так и в негативных ситуациях, а также в уровне выраженности СЖО у людей с разной степенью уверенности в себе. Сделан вывод о том, что высокая выраженность уверенности соответствует экзистенциальной наполненности жизнью, оптимизму и счастью.

The aim of the study was to provide theoretical justification and identify the relationships between self-confidence, attributive style (AS), meaning-life orientations (MLO) and the level of happiness experience, as well as differences in their level in respondents with different expressions of self-confidence. To test the hypotheses, an empirical study was conducted, which used the following methods: V.G. Romek's self-confidence test; attributive style questionnaire (M. Seligman, adaptation by T.O. Gordeeva, etc.); D.A. Leontiev's MLO test; M. Fordyce's Emotional test. The study involved people with different levels of education and with different material wealth (60 respondents, from 20 to 60 years). Nonparametric statistical methods were used for data analysis (Spearman correlation analysis, and the Kruskall-Wallis test for determining differences between groups of respondents). In an empirical study, the main hypotheses were confirmed: the relationship of confidence with AS, MLO, and the experience of happiness was found; significant differences were found in the subjective level of happiness experience, in the level of as in both positive and negative situations, as well as in the level of expression of MLO among people with different degrees of self-confidence.
W. WUNDT’S IDEAS AND BECOMING OF MODERN GLOBAL PSYCHOLOGY
Authors: Ковалева Ю.В.
Published: October 2020

Обсуждаются положения психологии народов В. Вундта в их связи с современными идеями глобалистики и глобальной психологии. Приводятся основные проблемы, с которыми столкнулась глобалистика на пути своего становления, и методологические принципы, которые ей удалось сформировать. Показано, что эти положения во многом были предвосхищены в главной работе Вундта. Его идеи могут быть рассмотрены на современном этапе изучения психологии больших социальных групп, а именно - феномены совместной жизни, факторами развития которой выступает взаимовлияние между индивидуумом и обществом, его понимании «коллективного продукта» как несводимого к сумме продуктов индивидуума. Подчеркивается актуальность работ Вундта для различных направлений исследований в исторической, социальной психологии и глобальной психологии.

The provisions of the psychology of the peoples of V. Wundt were discussed in their connection with the modern ideas of globalism and global psychology. The main problems faced by globalism in the way of its formation and the methodological principles that it managed to formulate were presented. It has been shown that these provisions were largely anticipated in the main work of Wundt. His ideas can be considered at the present stage of studying the psychology of large social groups, namely, the phenomena of living together, the factors of the development of which are the interaction between the individual and society, his understanding of the "collective product" as irrelevant to the sum of the products of the individual. The relevance of Wundt's works for various areas of research in historical, social psychology, and global psychology was emphasized.
MULTI-CRITERIA RANKING OF ORGANIZATIONAL FACTORS AFFECTING THE LEARNING QUALITY OUTCOMES IN ELEMENTARY EDUCATION IN SERBIA
Authors: Epifanić Vladislava , Urošević Snežana , Dobrosavljević Andrea , Kokeza Gordana , Radivojević Nikola
Published: October 2020

The research within this paper is motivated by the opinion that different organizational factors in primary education can have a stronger or weaker impact on the quality of the learning outcome. Organizational factors, criteria analyzed in this paper, are school management, school infrastructure, students’ foreknowledge, teacher competencies, curriculum content, student motivation, and the quality of the teaching process. Using SWARA (Step-wise Weight Assessment Ratio Analysis) method of multi-criteria decision-making, the answers of elementary school principals, members of the panel of experts, were processed. The calculation within this method was performed using fuzzy numbers to ensure the reliability of expert evaluations. The results of the applied method, in the form of weighting coefficients of the criteria, indicate that school management has an influence on the selection and building of teachers’ competencies while the given competence can indirectly affect the overall success of students through the establishment of an adequate school infrastructure, which affects the knowledge quality. Knowing the factor that has the highest impact enables principals to manage this factor and contribute to enhancing the knowledge quality. This research contributes to raising awareness of the importance of particular organizational factors in elementary education and the need to improve them.
Mayfly response to different stress types in small and mid-sized lowland rivers
Authors: Vilenica Marina , Kerovec Mladen , Pozojević Ivana , Mihaljević Zlatko
Published: October 2020

Freshwater ecosystems are endangered worldwide by various human pressures, resulting in dramatic habitat and species loss. Many aquatic invertebrates respond to disturbances in their habitat, and mayflies are among the most sensitive ones. Therefore, we investigated mayfly response to anthropogenic disturbances at 46 study sites encompassing slightly to heavily modified small and mid-sized lowland streams and rivers. Mayfly nymphs were sampled between April and September 2016 using a benthos hand net. A total of 21 species was recorded, with Cloeon dipterum (Linnaeus, 1761) being the most frequently recorded one. Nevertheless, the taxa richness was rather low per site, i.e., between zero and nine. Assemblage structure had a high share of lower reaches and lentic (potamic and littoral) elements, and detritivores (gatherers/collectors and active filter feeders). This indicates that hydromorphological alterations lead to assemblage “potamisation” in small and mid-sized rivers. More mayfly species were related to higher oxygen concentration and lower water temperature, abundance of aquatic vegetation and total organic carbon. Additionally, the assemblage diversity and abundance were negatively associated with increasing intensive agriculture area at the catchment scale. This study confirms mayfly bio-indicative properties, i.e., their sensitivity to alterations of their habitat and pollution, but also provides new data related to mayfly response to the impacted environment. Those data can be used for management and protection activities of lowland rivers and their biota according to the requirements of the European Water Framework Directive.

Domesticité blanche et politiques raciales en France métropolitaine (1850-1930)
Authors: Beal Margot
Published: October 2020

L’article explore les processus de racialisation à l’œuvre dans le monde du travail domestique entre la fin du xix e  siècle et le début du xx e siècle, dans la région de Saint-Etienne (France). Quelle est la politique raciale en matière de recrutement et de traitement des domestiques dans le contexte français métropolitain ? En utilisant des sources judiciaires et administratives, cet article examine comment l’État français préfère qu’en métropole la main-d’œuvre domestique reste blanche, puis comment la minorité des domestiques racisé·e·s sont traité·e·s, à la fois par les institutions étatiques ; le patronat et, de manière plus labile, par leurs pairs de classe. La classe, le genre et la nationalité des protagonistes participent de cette racialisation, qui débouche sur la construction d’un privilège de blanchité pour les travailleurs/ses blanc·he·s dans un contexte où le patronat domestique est uniformément blanc.
L’intersectionnalité comme stratégie de mobilisation sociale
Authors: Chun Jennifer Jihye , Lipsitz George , Shin Young , Tronc Hélène , Pochic Sophie
Published: October 2020

L’histoire des Asian Immigrant Women Advocates ( aiwa ou Défenseures des immigrées asiatiques) à Oakland et à San Jose en Californie, sur près de trois décennies, offre un exemple éloquent de l’intersectionnalité mise en œuvre dans un mouvement social et de son utilité pour révéler la dimension diffuse et différentielle des formes imbriquées d’oppression. L’article revient sur les origines du concept d’intersectionnalité, à la fois dans les milieux universitaires et dans la longue histoire des luttes sociales aux États-Unis. S’appuyant sur des travaux ethnographiques et des documents d’archives, il montre comment cette organisation communautaire a placé l’intersectionnalité au cœur du travail quotidien de mobilisation : comme grille d’analyse pour comprendre l’imbrication du genre, de la famille, du travail et de la nation dans l’expérience des travailleuses immigrées ; comme outil réflexif pour combiner théorie et pratique des mouvements sociaux ; et enfin comme structure favorisant un « leadership par les pairs » et de nouvelles formes de mobilisation plus inclusives.
Des musulmanes entrepreneuses en réseau en France
Authors: Karimi Hanane
Published: October 2020

Cet article analyse les effets indirects de discriminations structurelles et intersectionnelles sur le travail de femmes musulmanes qui portent le hijab en France. On constate que l’imbrication des catégories de race, de classe, de genre et de religion, dans le cas du port du hijab , pénalise fortement les perspectives professionnelles de ces femmes. En interrogeant à la fois le continuum de l’école au travail qui construit l’apprentissage par corps et les enquêtes sur les conséquences directes du port du hijab au travail, nous nous proposons de décrire et analyser deux réseaux d’autoentrepreneuses musulmanes qui s’organisent en réponse aux discriminations dans l’accès à l’emploi. Les entrepreneuses rencontrées n’ont aucune disposition héritée à l’entrepreneuriat. Elles trouvent une manière de compenser ce manque de ressources entrepreneuriales à l’aide du networking et du coworking . La ressource religieuse islamique est analysée afin de préciser sa fonction en termes de capital symbolique et de retournement du stigmate. Il apparaît que leur engagement religieux tout comme leurs responsabilités familiales font de l’indépendance professionnelle la seule manière acceptable de travailler sans avoir à négocier leur religiosité. Elle constitue une activité économique périphérique qui rapporte de faibles bénéfices.
Preannouncement strategy of platform-type new product for competing platforms: Technical or marketing information
Authors: Jiang Ye , Xiao Tiaojun
Published: October 2020

What message should be released to consumers and developers is an important part of the preannouncement strategy of platforms' new product. From the perspectives of consumers and developers' information perceptions, we develop a game model of two-sided market, which can better describe the impacts of information preannouncement on consumers, developers, and platforms behavior in a competitive environment. There are two preannouncement strategies: Technical or marketing information. Our studies reveal that (i) when the development capabilities are heterogeneous enough, both platforms release technical information; (ii) both platforms preannounce marketing information when the heterogeneity of development capability is sufficiently small, even if it decreases total social welfare; (iii) the platform lacking competitive advantage is more inclined to adopt a strategy different from the competitive advantage platform, and competitive advantage platform is likely to change the preannouncement strategy constantly; (iv) the heterogeneity of platforms is the prerequisite for the asymmetric equilibrium, even if it may decrease the overall social welfare.
Ambivalencias y transformaciones de las fiestas neobakalas
Authors: Leste Moyano Eduardo
Published: October 2020

Este artículo explora, a partir de fuentes etnográficas, la forma en que los miembros de la escena musical neobakala lidian, mediante prácticas rituales y carnavalescas, con los estados afectivos derivados de la vida urbana en el capitalismo tardío. Con este fin, este trabajo toma como referencia la propuesta teórica y metodológica sobre la afectividad de Alexandre Surrallés (2005 y 2009). En este sentido, este texto se adentra en el cuerpo y la persona capitalista para, a partir de ahí, identificar contextualmente sus estados de ánimo, sus relatos identitarios y los grupos sobre los cuales este relato se despliega y repliega. En este plano afectivo, este trabajo, donde la nostalgia es un aspecto central, también tiene en cuenta otros aportes hechos, de nuevo, desde la antropología, como son los de Appadurai (2001) o Hirai (2009). Por último, el artículo se adentra en las relaciones entre la nostalgia y la memoria y muestra cómo, en este caso, la memoria parece erosionarse por la acción de la nostalgia.
¿La "reina de la fiesta"? Fiestas tradicionales y reproducción de la desigualdad de género. El caso de las Fallas de València
Authors: Gisbert Gracia Verònica , Rius-Ulldemolins Joaquim
Published: October 2020

Las desigualdades de género en las fiestas tradicionales han generado una creciente atención social y académica. Fenómenos como el acoso, abuso o agresiones sexuales, los roles segregados o las codificaciones patriarcales que facilitan instituciones festivas muy masculinizadas, tanto en las composiciones como en las dinámicas internas, han revelado que existe una persistencia en el mantenimiento que choca con la evolución de la sociedad hacia una mayor igualdad. En este sentido entendemos que la cultura festiva tradicional no puede interpretarse correctamente desde la dimensión del consenso sino como una arena de conflicto social. En esta perspectiva la idea del ritual festivo como generador de prácticas corpóreas, formas cognitivas y reproducción de las desigualdades a partir del marco teórico del ritual de interacción de Randall Collins nos parece adecuado para interpretar esta continuidad de la dominación patriarcal. Examinaremos desde esta teoría el caso de las Fallas de València en el que se construye una imagen totémica de las mujeres. Así, en el ritual de interacción y las instituciones se las discrimina favoreciendo la perpetuación de los roles de género tradicionales y la desigualdad estructural festiva. No obstante, mujeres falleras, pero también sectores del movimiento feminista de la ciudad, lejos de conformarse con la posición pasiva asignada por la «tradición» han aprovechado el ritual festivo para hacer emerger sus reivindicaciones

Authors: S. Jaya , M. Latha
Published: October 2020

This chapter focuses on detailed overview of medical images as well as microscopic images to diagnosis the disease based on pattern recognition model in digital image processing. Pattern recognition is leading role in machine learning model which is used to detect the object such as text or character recognition, fingerprint recognition, face recognition, and biometric recognition. This chapter used pap smear images of cervical cancer to diagnosis a tissues by applying various image processing techniques followed by four tasks which are image acquisition, preprocessing, feature extraction, and object recognition. Cervical cancer is one of the very dangerous kind of cancer which may occur on the cervix part of the women. Diagnosis of tissue cells is based on the pixel variations of the images that may predict the cell is normal or abnormal state. This chapter presents machine learning algorithm of principle component analysis (PCA), Singular value decomposition (SVD), and linear discriminant analysis (LDA) under dimensionality reduction to recognize the pattern of the pap smear microscopic images.
Security and Privacy for Electronic Healthcare Records Using AI in Blockchain
Authors: Selvanambi Ramani , Bhutani Samarth , Veauli Komal
Published: October 2020

In yesteryears, the healthcare data related to each patient was limited. It was stored and controlled by the hospital authorities and was seldom regulated. With the increase in awareness and technology, the amount of medical data per person has increased exponentially. All this data is essential for the correct diagnosis of the patient. The patients also want access to their data to seek medical advice from different doctors. This raises several challenges like security, privacy, data regulation, etc. As health-related data are privacy-sensitive, the increase in data stored increases the risk of data exposure. Data availability and privacy are essential in healthcare. The availability of correct information is critical for the treatment of the patient. Information not easily accessed by the patients also complicates seeking medical advice from different hospitals. However, if data is easily accessible to everyone, it makes privacy and security difficult. Blockchains to store and secure data will not only ensure data privacy but will also provide a common method of data regulation.

Published: October 2020

The uncertainties around the future of work has engendered and continue to provoke stimulating discussions amongst scholars interested in the dynamics of the world of work, and other allied researchers. While the construction of these uncertainties is not far-fetched, scholars have somewhat reached a consensus, that the emergence of globalization spanning over four decades ago, has further exacerbated the magnitude of these uncertainties. To be sure, the apologists of globalization have argued that the emergence of globalization, rather than prospering the future of work, has provoked several threats to the continued relevance of work, rather than progression.

Authors: Glass Wykeshia W. , Hickman Desiree G. , Reaves Calvin M.
Published: October 2020

In order to create an effective 21st century classroom that engages and meets the needs of students, teachers must be knowledgeable of what motivates students to learn and how technology plays a critical role in his/her instruction. Due to the limited exposure of computer science education in the mainstream P-16 curriculum, only a small portion of students from public schools go on to careers in technology. The purpose of this chapter was to examine how teacher preparation programs and districts can better prepare pre-service and inservice teachers with experiences and professional development opportunities to equip them with the tools to effectively and efficiently teach in P-16 classroom settings. As a result, not only school districts but colleges of education must begin to develop and plan for the uses of computer related technologies for its educators.
Teacher-Designed Games
Authors: Liu Yang
Published: October 2020

Video games play an important role in education; however, the idea of teachers as designers of digital classroom games to support student learning has not been widely embraced. The purpose of this study was to gain a deeper understanding of why and how teachers used and designed games in teaching differently with various gaming background. This mixed-method case study involved a group of teachers who used and/or designed games for students. The four unique case groups were grounded in three regions and four school districts in Alberta, Canada. First and second cycle data coding and analyses were used to answer 1) what factors influenced the types of games teachers used and designed in teaching and 2) what factors influenced how and why teachers integrated game-based learning in teaching.
A Conceptual Educational Data Mining Model for Supporting Self-Regulated Learning in Online Learning Environments
Authors: Araka Eric , Oboko Robert , Maina Elizaphan , Gitonga Rhoda K.
Published: October 2020

Self-regulated learning is attracting tremendous researches from various communities such as information communication technology. Recent studies have greatly contributed to the domain knowledge that the use self-regulatory skills enhance academic performance. Despite these developments in SRL, our understanding on the tools and instruments to measure SRL in online learning environments is limited as the use of traditional tools developed for face-to-face classroom settings are still used to measure SRL on e-learning systems. Modern learning management systems (LMS) allow storage of datasets on student activities. Subsequently, it is now possible to use Educational Data Mining to extract learner patterns which can be used to support SRL. This chapter discusses the current tools for measuring and promoting SRL on e-learning platforms and a conceptual model grounded on educational data mining for implementation as a solution to promoting SRL strategies.
Ethical Behavior and Legal Regulations in Artificial Intelligence (Part One)
Authors: Goram Mandy , Veiel Dirk
Published: October 2020

Artificially intelligent systems should make users' lives easier and support them in complex decisions or even make these decisions completely autonomously. However, at the time of writing, the processes and decisions in an intelligent system are usually not transparent for users. They do not know which data are used, for which purpose, and with what consequences. There is simply a lack of transparency, which is important for trust in intelligent systems. Transparency and traceability of decisions is usually subordinated to performance and accuracy in AI development, or sometimes it plays no role at all. In this chapter, the authors describe what intelligent systems are and explain how users can be supported in specific situations using a context-based adaptive system. In this context, the authors describe the challenges and problems of intelligent systems in creating transparency for users and supporting their sovereignty. The authors then show which ethical and legal requirements intelligent systems have to meet and how existing approaches respond to them.
Hauntology of the Machinic
Authors: Ito Atsuhide
Published: October 2020

The chapter observes the distinction between the mechanical and the machinic, and moves beyond the metaphors of android (Metropolis), or cyborg (Donna Haraway), and considers how the machinic has brought new cognitive patterns for human subjects to interact with their environment and others. Artists' dislocation from the central agent of production has opened passages for the posthuman mode of production. Consequently, the machine has become an integral part of artwork and of the artist. Contrary to this development, some artists retain the machine's materiality as a form of Other. The chapter argues that the machine remains as a form of externalization of the Other within the human subject.
Amusements Made to Save Man
Authors: Morris Jill Anne
Published: October 2020

This chapter re-introduces the idea of roller coasters as moral machines and morality mechanisms, as they were designed to rid mankind of immoral entertainment, and traces their ability to spread American culture via themed entertainment from World's Fairs to Disneyland and beyond. It features an analysis of two Chinese themed rides, one of which has been developed with American cultural constructs and one of which begins to develop a new form of Chinese historical theme park. Through these examples, it suggests the potential for themed amusements to spread not just American morality and culture, but to provide sites of cultural exchange.
III-V-Based Gate-All-Around Cylindrical Nanowire Junctionless Field Effect Transistor
Authors: Shilla Pooja , Kumar Raj , Kumar Arvind
Published: October 2020

This chapter represents some essential aspects of nanowires and their transport properties. Scaling of MOSFETs becomes a huge problem for industries due to short channel effects (SCEs) and sub-threshold leakage current. So, nanowires become a good solution to SCEs due to their structure. This chapter is divided into three parts. The first part gives a brief introduction of nanowire and different materials that can replace Si (channel material) and SiO2 (oxide material) due to their superior performance over Si. In the second part, the device structure and device structural measurement is discussed. In the third part, transport properties are discussed. This chapter shows the behavior of nanowire on changing different device materials and device dimensions. Electrical characteristics of Si and III-V based nanowires FETs will be analyzed and compared. High-k dielectric as oxide material also helps in improving device performance. HfO2 shows improvement in device characteristics over SiO2 taken as an oxide material. Junctionless nanowire MOSFET has also been designed and analyzed.
Theme-Scenario Development in Interior Architecture
Authors: Garip S. Banu , Kızılkaya Aycan
Published: October 2020

Today, complex structure of the environment and the modern human life demands design professions acquire a broader perspective in conjunction with a more expanded, cross-boundary knowledge and skills. Particularly in the field of interior architecture, it is necessary to discuss the theme and the scenario while shaping the interiors where the majority of life takes place. This chapter focuses on the significance of theme and scenario development, presents a descriptive reading through the experiences in the Interior Architectural Design Studio, and in this sense, evaluates the discussion within the educational process. The studio addresses the issue by generating interior design ideas and scenarios that are searching for different ways of healthy living connected to nature and productivity within the city of Istanbul. Providing that “theme and scenario development” is considered as the starting point within interior design processes, it can be observed that established connections trigger creativity, interrelation between different scales and cross-boundary design.
Expanding Horizons for Interior Architecture
Authors: Olcay Hafsa
Published: October 2020

This chapter addresses the pressing issue of transnational forced migration around the world which has reached another level of urgency since 2015 when the countries in Europe began receiving migrants from Syria. As a result, providing housing solutions for temporary accommodation has been a significant concern and a variety of responses have been developed in and around Europe to facilitate temporary accommodation of forcibly displaced people. A significant part of these endeavours consists of efforts for developing universal solutions in the form of housing units which present a product-oriented approach and often fail to account for the complexities of dwelling. This chapter discusses the involvement of interior architects in the matters of forced migration in relevance of both their scale-focus and skillset, by critically examining the tools and methods they use and adopting the process-oriented and cross-disciplinary approaches which consider the social and cultural complexities of temporary living.
Well-Being Concept and Interior Design Process
Authors: Onay Nilufer Saglar
Published: October 2020

Well-being is an ephemeral condition in relation to the complex system of interconnected components changing from culture to culture and person to person together with time and space. Therefore, it is very important to investigate the intersections of architecture and humanities in order to understand how design can contribute to the way we build up well-being. The specific contribution of this chapter is the introduction of the well-being framework for interiors and its application to design process. The framework proposal, consisting of contextual, functional, psychological, social, ergonomic, aesthetic, and sensory requirements as basic design criteria, aims to support both theoretical and practical activities regarding well-being in all living environments. Since interior space is one of the most important determinants of our everyday experiences, its role in well-being as a conscious construct needs to be an important concern of spatial design.
Performing a New Agenda for a First-Year Interior Architecture Studio
Authors: Gürer Ethem , Küçükersen Firat
Published: October 2020

Considering the content and complex structure of design education, it is important to include the making, body, and movement in design pedagogy. In this context, thinking design with theatre opens to an aggregation of opportunities for thinking holistically and creatively about the character, elements, functioning, and the outcomes of the first-year design studio. This chapter presents a pedagogical approach for the first-year design studio through a final project, Theatre Space, which was devised as an integrated seven-week process of comprehending, interpreting, designing, fabricating, and performing Samuel Beckett's Quad 1+2, with all its components such as stage and décor, costume, accessories, makeup, light, sound, and performance. Students from the Departments of Architecture, Interior Architecture, and Industrial Design had a chance to display how they internalised and applied basic principles of design in their drawings, sketches, diagrams, writings, and collages, as well as the final physical products in 1/1 scale within a performative exhibition: Anti-Quad.
Social Interweaving and Networking “Bindungslehre 2.0” for a New Social Design and Thinking Process
Authors: Rittler Heike Karen
Published: October 2020

The chapter explains a new design methology. On the basis of prehistoric textile products and their cultural design, the smallest units, fabric patterns, the most diverse types of fabric, enmeshment and cross-linking, new arrangements of yarn systems into new one-, two-, or multi-dimensional structures, relationships, systems and networks, how things interrelate with each other is depicted. The method relies on the recognition of patterns and relationships from all possible disciplines, whether textile, architecture, interior design, urban planning, mobility, social media, or social society, which can then be used holistically and sustainably for all complex questions of life and space. On the basis of abstract concepts, attention is trained for units and made available for New ones. This enables completely new perspectives in an ever more complex, social, and societally changing world. The examples and design approaches presented in the chapter concentrate primarily on process development and the associated holistic approaches.
The Alchemist Architect
Authors: Özdamar Esen Gökçe
Published: October 2020

This chapter focuses on the growing interest of many artists, architects, and designers regarding the exploration of handmade materials. Today, designers focus on gaining experience with new materials. These experimental material investigations for discovering the nature of the material can be placed in the intersection of homo faber, human production, and technology. The transition between alchemists, artisans and technicians has been expressed by Jacques Ellul, Lewis Mumford, and Jose Ortega y Gasset. What kind of transformation can these contemporary quests in design create and what experiences are involved in the practices and theoretical integration of the senses in material encounters and produced by haptic experience? The aim is to figure out the possible outcomes of this inquiry of designers through the act of making and how these experiences might contribute to future design pedagogies in architecture and interior design. Therefore, deriving from experimental approaches in working with unknown materials, this chapter explores the need for these experimental investigations.
Architectural Atmospheres
Authors: Kristo Saimir , Kristo Xhoana
Published: October 2020

This chapter seeks to investigate the design approach of the architectural concept in the narration of the interior space as an unavoidable exploration to highlight the contradictory and complex relationship between the idea of space and its experience. Architects should perceive architectural space using logical diagrams, starting from the interior towards the exterior and not the opposite. Architectural atmospheres should initiate as a result of the internal movements and the relation between space, humans, and light. This relationship develops an experience as a result of a series of architectural spaces that appear naturally in the interior. The articulation of its atmospheres, functional organization, and architectural façade works as a filter to allow daylight to penetrate the building or form contextual situations and the surrounding nature and its inhabited environment.
Impact of Brand Trust and Technology Readiness on the Willingness to Use Autonomous Cars in Brazil
Authors: Rodrigues José Carlos , Ponchio Mateus Canniatti
Published: October 2020

This study sought to analyse whether brand trust and technology readiness influence the willingness to use (WTU) autonomous vehicles (AVs) in Brazil. A survey was applied with potential consumers, and the results, based on 213 respondents, indicated that there is a strong correlation between brand trust and WTU AVs of the same brand as well as between technology readiness and WTU AVs. When confronted through multiple linear regression, brand trust played a more relevant role than technology readiness over WTU AVs for the 11 brands tested. When comparing information technology companies (ITCs) and automobile manufacturers, while the first have a higher level of average brand trust, the preference in WTU AVs rests on traditional automakers. Thus, the results of this study may contribute on how brand managers could explore their brands strengths in regard to consumer's trust when such products become available in the future.
Detecting Generic Music Features with Single Layer Feedforward Network using Unsupervised Hebbian Computation
Authors: Das Sourav , Kolya Anup Kumar
Published: October 2020

In this work, the authors extract information on distinct baseline features from a popular open-source music corpus and explore new recognition techniques by applying unsupervised Hebbian learning techniques on our single-layer neural network using the same dataset. They show the detailed empirical findings to simulate how such an algorithm can help a single layer feedforward network in training for music feature learning as patterns. The unsupervised training algorithm enhances the proposed neural network to achieve an accuracy of 90.36% for successful music feature detection. For comparative analysis against similar tasks, they put their results with the likes of several previous benchmark works. They further discuss the limitations and thorough error analysis of the work.

Citizen engagement with open government data (OGD) can enhance the effectiveness of governments and improve not only the quality of public policy making but also public services provisioning and ability to address societal problems. Although previous research gives insight into citizen's drivers and inhibitors for engaging with OGD, they have not yet been integrated into a single conceptual model. The aims of this study are twofold: 1) to systematically review the literature on individual citizens' drivers and inhibitors for engaging with OGD and 2) to develop a conceptual model of citizen engagement with OGD based on the findings of the literature review. To attain this objective, the authors systematically analyzed 52 papers published in the period 2009-2019. Seven categories of drivers of citizen engagement are identified: citizen's profile, personal, performance-related, economic, social, technical, and political. Three groups of inhibitors are also identified: citizen's profile, technical, and political. This study helps in understanding how the engagement of citizens can be enhanced.

This article investigates how training public officials from two municipalities in Spain and Cyprus with new technologies affects three dependent variables: level of understanding of the technological innovation being introduced, its perceived usefulness, and its perceived ease-of-use. The tests to determine the impact of training were carried out by means of a self-constructed questionnaire within a repeated measure experimental design. The results demonstrate that the three variables are indeed positively affected by the training sessions to users from both municipalities. Consequently, training plays a vital role in encouraging government employees and administrators to accept, adopt and utilize e-government technologies.

Technical organisations are ranked based on performance indicators like resources, students' intake, global reputation, and research activities. Student performance and placement are important factors in deciding the ranking of a university. Student performance analysis is a recent and widely researched domain aimed at reforming the education system. The analysis assists institutions to understand and improve their performance and educational outcomes. Admissions, academics, and placement are the three most significant processes during which the large amount of data is gathered within a university and there is a requirement of analysis. The data mining techniques are used for data analysis processes and it encompasses data understanding, pre-processing, modelling, and implementation. In this research work, fuzzy c-means clustering technique is used to understand fuzziness of student performance, classify and map the student performance to employability. To understand this objective, the dataset has been collected from universities, pre-processed, and analysed.
Visual Task Characterization for Exploratory Search
Authors: Singh Vikram
Published: October 2020

Humans are living in the age of big data, advanced analytics, and human information interaction. The tremendous growth of ‘the data' presents enormous challenges to information-seeking. A naïve user adapts several strategies (e.g., analytical search, search by analogy, etc.) to aggregate the knowledge. Augmented visualization plays a pivotal role via visual cognitive support in user searches (i.e., simple visual search, visual exploration, etc.). Though it is hard for a user to look for specific tasks or visual metaphors, as evaluation of visual task is rarely undertaken, it is unclear what role, if any, information visualizations play in the user search. In this paper, a visual taxonomy is adopted to systematically review key visualization tools to understand the visual tasks and inherent functions and viability. The key contribution is to trace the current trends and advancements on the dimensions (i.e., visual accomplishments and visual implications) and to assert that annotations will provide a vision on the state of exploratory visual analytics, evolving frameworks, and tools.

Customer satisfaction (CS) is an important factor determining the success of online clothing shopping. This document tries to analyze factors affecting CS towards online clothing shopping through a systematic study, in a bid to help online clothing retailers improve CS for higher sales. Based on the social support theory, the authors created a model of factors affecting CS towards online clothing shopping and conducted a questionnaire survey to obtain customer feedback, which was then analyzed through a structural equation model. The analysis results indicate that sensory experience (SE), quality experience (QE), trust (TR), and recommendation (RE) exerted favorable effects on CS towards online clothing shopping, and CS, as a mediating variable, affected customer loyalty (CL), and purchase intention (PI) positively.

In the study, a multimodal neural network is proposed to automatically predict the evaluation of a professional consultant team for press conferences using text and audio data. Seven publicly available press conference videos were collected, and all the Q&A pairs between speakers and journalists were annotated by the consultant team. The proposed multimodal neural network consists of a language model, an audio model, and a feature fusion network. The word representation is made up by a token embedding using ELMo and a type embedding. The language model is an LSTM with an attention layer. The audio model is based on a six-layer CNN to extract segmental feature as well as an attention network to measure the importance of each segment. Two approaches of feature fusion are proposed: a shared attention network and the production of text features and audio features. The former can explain the importance between speech content and speaking style. The latter achieved the best performance with the average accuracy of 60.1% for all evaluation criteria.
TECNOLOGIAS DIGITAIS NO CICLO DE ALFABETIZAÇÃO: ANALISANDO UM PROJETO POLÍTICO PEDAGÓGICO E OS PLANOS DE ENSINO DE UMA PROFESSORA

Published: October 2020

Este artigo tem como objetivo analisar o Projeto Político Pedagógico e os Planos de ensino de uma professora do Ciclo de Alfabetização, de uma escola localizada no interior do Maranhão, quanto à presença e enfoque que se dá às Tecnologias Digitais da Informação e Comunicação – TDICs, nas Situações de Aprendizagem, junto aos alunos. Para tanto, os autores realizaram uma análise documental do Projeto Político Pedagógico observando em quais Marcos estão presentes as TDICs e como se faz referências às mesmas neste documento. Analisou-se, também, os Planos de Ensino de uma professora de uma turma de primeiro ano do Ensino Fundamental, buscando perceber como a mesma insere nas Situações de Aprendizagens, por ela mediadas, as tecnologias digitais. De um modo geral, se observou a presença das TDICs no PPP, principalmente nos Marcos Conceitual e Situacional. Todavia, se entendeu que há uma necessidade de se rever, no PPP, alguns elementos do Marco Operacional, principalmente quando este se refere aos Anos Iniciais do Ensino Fundamental. Já nos planos de ensino analisados, percebeu-se que as TDICs estão presentes no planejamento das Situações de Aprendizagem.
