Protecting private information in the digital era: making the most effective use of the availability of the actions under the GDPR/DPA and the tort of misuse of private information
Authors: Brimblecombe Fiona , Fenwick Helen
Published: May 2022

Globally, enhanced data protection schemes are being introduced in the face of threats to privacy in the digital era. In England and Wales, protection from one such threat – from unconsented-to disclosures of private information online – is covered by both the established tort of misuse of private information and a recently enhanced data protection scheme, arising under the General Data Protection Regulation 2016 (GDPR), providing, in particular, the right to erasure. The previous scheme ran alongside the tort, in an uneasy relationship which, until recently, saw its marginalisation in the privacy context under consideration, with the result that the data protection jurisprudence in this context is impoverished, while the tort jurisprudence and scholarship has flourished. This article argues that merely noting that the two causes of action are available and may arise in the same claim provides a limited response. With the advent of the United Kingdom GDPR and the rise in the dangers to protection of private information posed by the ‘tech’ companies, it presents a new argument in opposition to the two separate silos into which scholarship in this area has fallen and, more importantly, in favour of the opportunities the two actions provide for addressing the range and variety of privacy claims, especially against online ‘intermediaries’, including from non-celebrities. To that end it probes the differences between the designs of the key elements of the two actions which might render one more apt or able to provide privacy protection, depending on the situation, than the other, especially in the online context. It also considers as a warning potentialities within both that could detract from their efficacy.

Concept in India copyright and design law
Authors: Chandrakar L t. Vibha
Published: May 2022

Copyright law in India protects fashion designs that are considered unique artistic works. 2 Since 'arts works' is defined so broadly, this is obvious. 3 In 2006, the Delhi High Court made a distinction between "purely artistic works" and "artistic works meant to be applied to goods" in terms of the definition of the word. 4 Although it is not stated explicitly, it is reasonable to assume that the Designs Act, 2000 would apply to fashion designs as well. The Copyright Act and the Designs Act both provide legal protection for fashion designs. However, the fundamental premise of the Designs Act must be examined in relation to the underlying logic of industrial production. Indian law protects the works of fashion designers to a certain extent, and this study aims to shed light on the matter.

Using AI to detect and classify malicious domain names
Authors: Priya S. , Reddy V. Dheeraj , Balaji Varshini
Published: May 2022

On the Internet and other IP networks, the Domain Name System (DNS) is used to identify machines. Resource entries in the DNS link domain names to various sorts of data. Commonly, it is used to transform domain names to IP addresses so that computers may locate services and devices utilizing the underlying network protocols. Due to a lack of security safeguards, cybercriminals use the Domain Name System (DNS) to launch attacks. So how to quickly locate and block possibilities? Finding rogue websites and their IP addresses has become a prominent research topic. Preventing unknown cyber-attacks is critical. This article advocated analysing enormous amounts of mobile web traffic to find dangerous domains. To classify, we used text and domain traffic statistics. Then we gave three typical classifiers to compare their impacts. The Spark framework is used to calculate huge amounts of DNS traffic. Our system's efficiency persuades us. It can be very useful in network security. The new features are tough to use and assist in identifying rogue domains. We tested MalPortrait using real-world big ISP networks' passive DNS traffic.

Authors: Gopika P S , Hijam Yaiphabhi , Riya Riya , Mittal Naman , Singh Satwant
Published: May 2022

This article does a literature analysis on the economic and social consequences of migration in India. International migration is a rapidly rising issue with significant developmental consequences for both sending and receiving nations. For the sending nation, migration and the remittances it generates result in greater income and poverty reduction, as well as better health and educational results, all of which contribute to economic growth. Nonetheless, these improvements may come at a significant social cost to migrants and their families. Due to the fact that many developing nations are also significant receivers of international migrants, they confront integration issues, employment rivalry between migrant and indigenous employees, and budgetary expenditures connected with providing social services to migrants. Additionally, this report includes statistics provided by the Indian government about various migratory events that occurred in the country during the last several years.

Nostalgia for the “Estate” Myth
Authors: Kot Joanna
Published: May 2022

Masculinity studies are flourishing in Poland. Alongside summaries of Western theories, we have works on the distinctiveness of the Polish development of masculinity, including monographs on various topics, as well as analyses of individual authors and works. Some of these studies cover the Interwar years. Nevertheless, untouched areas remain, one of the largest being drama. Popular, Interwar comedy, written almost exclusively by men, drew large crowds to theaters and reflected the insecurities of a whole generation of men. Some of the biggest theatrical successes came from authors with right wing, Christian nationalist views, such as Stefan Kiedrzyński, Włodzimierz Perzyński, and Adam Grzymała-Siedlecki. All of them evinced a patriotic nostalgia for the patriarchal “estate” myth [mit dworku], a myth that seemed ever more improbable as social changes spread rapidly after 1918. The following analyzes Adam Grzymała-Siedlecki's Spadkobierca [The Heir] to explore the conflict between such nostalgia for an idyllic life on a rural estate and the social reality of the Interwar period, with special attention to the significance of this friction for the writer's image of Polish masculinity after World War I.
The Polish-Ukrainian Alliance of 1920 and “White” Russia
Authors: Borymskyi Vitalii
Published: May 2022

Relations in the Polish-Ukrainian-Russian triangle have never been simple. The history of the Polish-Soviet war of 1920 is one of the illustrative moments. Although the Polish offensive against the Bolsheviks in April 1920 was tactically beneficial to Petr Vrangel's Russian Army, the Russian white emigration was largely hostile to Józef Piłsudski's Ukrainian policy. The main reason for this hostility was the project of Poland's support for the independence of the Ukrainian People's Republic. Russian public opinion could not support either the Bolsheviks or the Poles with the Ukrainians in this war. The article examines a wide range of Russian non-Bolshevik political thought. Through the prism of Russian national identity, the article explains how a wide range of Russian anti-Bolshevik politicians and public figures, from monarchists to Mensheviks, perceived Polish policy toward Ukraine in 1920. This research is not a study of Vrangel's Ukrainian policy, although this is an important background, but rather a study of political thought and history of ideas.

Authors: Oliveira Larissa Marson de , Santos Patricia Dias dos , Reis Maria Cecília Venâncio dos , Kassis Elias Naim
Published: May 2022

Introduction: In the scenario of surgery or minimally invasive dental procedures there are more than 300 clinical studies. The studies were classified in the areas of periodontics, cardiology, implantology, endodontics, orthodontics, oral pathology, oral and maxillofacial surgery, prosthesis, and others. Uncertainty is about the conclusions obtained from a set of studies on minimally traumatic surgery. Objective: It was to demonstrate the evolution and consequent importance of improving minimally traumatic surgery techniques in dentistry. Methods: The present study followed a systematic review model, following the rules of systematic review – PRISMA. The search strategy was performed in the PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science and Scopus, and Google Scholar databases. The present study was carried out from January to March 2022. The quality of the studies was based on the GRADE instrument and the risk of bias was analyzed according to the Cochrane instrument. Results: A total of 121 articles were found. A total of 86 articles were fully evaluated and 27 were included in this study. Since the most primordial extraction techniques were created and developed, several attempts have been made to minimize the professional's effort, reduce surgical time and alleviate bleeding and the inflammatory processes, edema, pain, and ecchymosis that can affect patients, in trans and postoperative periods. Thus, maximum preservation of the integrity of soft tissues (papilla and free and attached gingiva) adjacent to the prosthetic spaces should be sought, and preservation of the level of the alveolar bone ridge, minimizing surgical trauma. Conclusion: There are many attempts to minimize the professional's effort, reduce surgical time and alleviate bleeding and inflammatory processes, edema, pain, and ecchymosis that can affect patients. Thus, maximum preservation of the integrity of the soft tissues adjacent to the prosthetic spaces and the preservation of the level of the alveolar bone ridge should be sought to achieve the minimization of surgical trauma.
Ergonomics versus Inclusive Design Spaces The Case Study of The National Tile Museum
Authors: João Bravo Lima Nunes Delgado Maria , Moreira da Silva Fernando
Published: May 2022

The current conceptions of the museum determine the exploration of strategies that promote not only observation of the works, but also dialogue and interaction, ensuring access, social and cultural participation of an increasingly diverse audience, without discrimination and within equal access conditions. The aim of this paper is to discuss the potential of Inclusive Design Spaces applied to museum space, taking into consideration the common and specific user needs as a consequence of human diversity. Based on an empirical study, undertaken in The National Tile Museum (MNAz) in Lisbon and applied on two distinct groups of visitors - a young and a senior group with different needs and expectations at the physical, social and cognitive level - it was possible to ascertain the impact of the physical attributes of a museum space on visitors. Ergonomics and Inclusive Design Spaces are the two sides of the same coin. This study seeks also to expand knowledge on the influence of Design in museological space in the process of communication and in the effective accessibility of all information with maximum visitor autonomy.

Published: May 2022

The process of product development is one of the most important and complex stages for the industry. For a new product to get into the hands of the consumer, a lot of research and testing is performed. Although the intention is to generate a product that makes the difference the market, catches the attention of the consumer and can increase sales of the company, another issue is considered important: the production process. The integration between various areas of knowledge can provide solutions that meet diverse industrial needs that go beyond usability needs of users. This article will deal with a multidisciplinary team during the development of a new medical product. How can segments of knowledge apparently distant from each other work together and provide improvements to the employees of a company? This article shows how teamwork between professionals of Ergonomics, Industrial Design, Engineering, Medical, Production and Sales allowed the optimization of the production process, employee satisfaction and sales success.
Effects of Appearance on the Perceived Comfort of Automotive Seats
Authors: Erol Tuğra , Diels Cyriel , Shippen James , Richards Dale , Johnson Chris
Published: May 2022

Automotive seat comfort is becoming one of the major aspects in distinguishing companies from their competitors. We here explored the role of the visual appearance of automotive seats in the perception of initial seat comfort. Unlike discomfort, the concept of comfort is regarded a highly subjective and multi-faceted phenomenon. This paper addressed the possibility of improving the perception of comfort through the mere manipulation of the visual appearance in otherwise identical automotive seats. In addition, the study explored gender differences in sensitivity to the effects of visual appearance and perceived comfort. The results showed that the visual appearance of physically identical seats had a large and statistically significant effect on perceived comfort. Furthermore, the effect of visual appearance on perceived comfort was found to be considerably larger for female participants. The results are discussed in the context of potential underlying mechanisms relating visual appearance to aesthetics, positive affect, perceived ergonomic quality, and product personality. Suggestions for future studies are provided with regards to visual design parameters and their effect on the perception of automotive seat comfort.
Ergonomic and Financial Benefits Reached Through the Application of a Kaizen Culture: Theoretical and Practical Study in An Automotive Industry

Published: May 2022

After the advent of the 2nd World War increased international competitiveness in the automotive industries, began to think about saving and lower production costs. For this purpose many ways were created to reduce costs and waste of raw materials and reduce activities that do not add value to manufacturing processes. In the early XVIII century comes the manufacturing system, which process were rigid with little concern for the health and safety of employees and the conditions of the work environment. After the advent of the production system called Lean Manufacturing, began a new way of thinking, with a lean process and without waste and reducing costs, without neglecting the welfare of the operator and improving conditions of their work environment. Some studies show that the companies that there is a culture Kaizen continuous improvement and reduction of activities that do not add value to the results of product quality and tax of absenteeism are better than those obtained in companies that do not exist this same culture. A reflection will be applied in this paper on the application of ergonomics in a lean production system of an automobile industry using Kaizen methodology based on the (Continuous Improvement) and how to deploy this methodology in culture in a manufacturing environment, will also be shown performance gains the conditions of the job, in addition to the financial gains that the organization can get. The research will be conducted by collecting data "in loco" and interviews with operators, technicians and managers.
Maneuvering in Intersections – What Is the Specific Challenge for Elderly Drivers?Underlying Causes for Violations and a Design for an Assistive System
Authors: Dahmen-Zimmer Katharina , C. Zimmer Alf
Published: May 2022

Statistics of traffic accidents in relation to specific situations and maneuvers show that in intersections elderly drivers have a significantly increased risk, especially when turning left. In cooperation with Ruhr University, Bochum, an extensive analysis of real maneuvers in various intersections has been undertaken by multiple-view video observations. The age of the drivers has been determined by rating the age as observable in the faces. It has turned out that this higher risk cannot be contributed to any distinctive constructive element in road. A subsequent experiment in a driving simulator has led to similar results. It is therefore plausible to assume that increased risk is related to already known age-related deficits in cognitive functions. These are of special importance for the dynamic and situational factors when maneuvering in an intersection, in contrast to the static factors as e.g. road design. In order to assist drivers in intersections when turning left, a Left-Turn- Assistant has been developed and evaluated in a driving simulator. It turns out that with the Intersection Assistant elderly drivers improve the quality of their decisions for their maneuvers significantly and no longer show an increased risk in comparison to experienced drivers in the medium-age category.
A Library Based Tool to Assist the Generative Activity in Workstation Design
Authors: Bergman Christian , Högberg Dan , Bäckstrand Gunnar , Moestam Lena
Published: May 2022

Workstation design processes are seldom as rigorous as product design processes. Instead, workstations are often “just built”. This commonly results in workstations that suffer from problems related to ergonomics, flexibility, logistics, productivity etc., in turn leading to reductions in human wellbeing and/or economics. The problem is seldom a lack of information, about ergonomics or other relevant areas, in itself. The problem is rather knowledge of how to find, interpret and use the information proactively in the design of workstations, e.g. in the definition of a complete set of goals for a successful design, or in the generation of design solutions that fulfil these goals. Moreover, the evaluation of a workstation design is typically performed on actual workstations, or physical mock-ups representing near-completed proposals. This paper argues that workstation design processes could gain from utilizing product design methodologies. In line with this, a novel and structured way of establishing a library of verified design solutions that fulfil certain requirements is presented in this paper. This would help the designer to select and generate solutions for the design task at hand, thus speeding up the design process and reducing the risk of redesign and rebuild, due to not fulfilling set requirements.

The purpose of this study was to clarify eye movement characteristics during a visual search using nonlinear dynamics (scaling properties). More concretely, the fractal dimensional analysis by means of the box-counting technique was carried out for the time series data of x- and y-directional gaze-locations. The eye movement characteristics during two types of search tasks were measured and analyzed. It tended that the search time increased with the increase in task difficulty such as the display range and the layout complexity. For both x- and y-directional eye movements, it tended that the scaling property represented by the fractal dimension increased with the increase of difficulty of a search task. The fractal dimension also tended to be smaller for the wide display than for the narrow display. On the basis of the result that the search time and the x- and y-directional fractal dimensions were not so strongly related, we inferred that the search time and the fractal dimension stem from the different mechanism underlying a variety of search activities.
Wearable Devices: A Design Approach Through Biodesign and Ergonomics
Authors: Canina Marita
Published: May 2022

Nowadays there is a great inclination to modify well-being concept and health care by changing the technology in “wearable”. For this reason the relation between human body and new technologies are changing deeply and continually. The design necessarily should drive these changes. It is fundamental to understand if design is able to filling the gap in wearables project, caused by the absence of a user-oriented approach. The design development of the wearable device needs to accomplish the requirements of comfort and adaptableness connected to the anatomy of human body. From this point of view, the wearable is not an overlapping structure but “a second skin”. These aspects require a study about the ergonomics and “wear-ability”. Users often reject objects felt unfamiliar to own body, even if they can improve daily life. This happens because sometimes the designer overlooks the relationship between body and wearables, which involve both physical and psychological side. The study in wearable area is directed toward a new phase, where the attention is on the user desire. This paper presents the result of the research developed by Biodesign Lab of Politecnico di Milano: a methodological approach, which is based on a combination between the Lines of Non Extension, a theory made by Iberall and the unobtrusive areas set by the Institute of Complex Engineered System. The research has developed an instrument able to support and guide the design process.
Software Interfaces of the Jaco Robotic Arm: Results of a Focus Group
Authors: Vigouroux Nadine , Sauzin Damien , Vella Frédéric
Published: May 2022

Robotics is a good opportunity for developing assistive technologies that could provide greater functionalities to provide for more independent activities of daily living. The Jaco robotic arm is one of these devices. Using standard joystick control requires fine motor skills, which are often lacking in persons with spinal cord injury (SCI). A user-centered approach was conducted to design two alternative graphical user interfaces to control the Jaco arm. Firs, five Graphical User Interfaces (GUI) were designed: three based on a software keyboard and two on pie menu concepts. The three software keyboards differ from the visual representation: text buttons, icon buttons, or color organization and are adapted to the Jaco’s control modes. The two pie menus differ according to the interaction technique used to access the second level of the pie menu, i.e. the two techniques designed: pointing and “goal crossing”. Then two groups (one of occupational therapists and another of persons with quadriplegia caused by SCI) were invited to answer a questionnaire to collect their feedback and evaluate their future needs regarding the five GUIs presented. Following the focus group two GUIs were proposed taking into account these issues. The paper will discuss the user-centered approach and the issues that arose at each stage of the design.
Visual Comfort and Human Wellbeing at Coworking Environs
Authors: Caramelo Gomesª Cristina , Preto Sandra
Published: May 2022

The lighting design in workplace environments involves/demands multidisciplinary knowledge; however, the principle that supports its conception is repeatedly grounded on aesthetical considerations and technical requirements rather than on comfort and inclusive solutions. Besides legislation it is important to observe how people work and the requirements and expectations felt by individuals according to the tools used, spatial layout, geographical orientation, windows area and the reflectance of the surfaces. Natural light aims to illuminate working plans while it is a crucial factor to manage human circadian cycle and mood. Contemporaneous workplace concept is changing to respond to economic pressure and technical improvements. Coworking spaces require a deep understanding as they shelter people from different professional, cultural and social backgrounds with different gender and age issues. Anthropometric and ergonomic concepts are fundamental for a healthy and comfortable environ in which lighting design emerge and deserve special attention. This piece of research aims to study the “do´s and don’ts” of lighting design in a workplace layout in a way that it becomes useful for future humanised planning of coworking environments. In order to achieve such goals this research will be conducted throughout literature review stemming from elected keywords and the analysis of two case studies: Lx CoWorking and Ávila CoWorking, in Lisbon.
Anthropometry as a Resource in the Learning Process of Ergonomics / Human Factors & Design

Published: May 2022

The Design Faculty’s Ergonomics Research Line at the Universidad Pontificia Bolivariana (UPB) in Medellín, Colombia, which provides the basis for courses in Ergonomics and Design, has developed a series of didactic strategies that are included in the academic training of industrial designers. These strategies develop students’ ability to recognize – within a framework of Ergonomics/Human Factors – conceptual criteria, techniques and Anthropometric procedures for the design process. This proposal presents theoretical and practical activities designed by the Ergonomics Research Line of the Design Studies Group (GED) at UPB, within the framework of the Anthropometry for Design: Manual and Measuring Equipment research project. This project entails the development of Anthropometry approach exercises, a procedure for sizing objects based on anthropometric criteria. It has also led to a basic research process for the erGO research seedbed (thematic examination, current state of the industry and the development of a prototype of an instrument for measuring hands). The project also acts as a motivational endeavor for the students: through these proposals, they contribute towards the creation of a laboratory of Ergonomics/Human Factors from the anthropometric component.

Published: May 2022

This study examined the perceptions of college students regarding body posture (trunk inclination) adopted while using chair with tablet arm and their preference for two chair models (with and without armrest), and also the associations between these variables and sex, age, course shift and school furniture design. Overall, 420 students aged 22.4 ± 5.0 years of different courses and shifts participated in the study. A questionnaire containing identification data and questions about students' perceptions regarding the trunk position leaned over the tablet arm and their preference for the existence of chair armrest was used. Descriptive statistics and Chi-square test (p < 0.05) were used. It was found that 63.6% of students mentioned staying more than half the time of a class with trunk leaned over the tablet arm and 67.9% would like to have chair armrest at the opposite side of the tablet arm. There was association between body posture and sex (p = 0.003), in which women mentioned leaning more the trunk laterally and/or anteriorly than men and with the current school furniture design (p = 0.003), i.e., chair without armrest, the proportion of students who leaned the trunk over the tablet arm was greater.
Proposal for a Method to Clarify Customer Needs Using HI (Human Interface) Patterns
Authors: Okubo Ryosuke , Tanikawa Yukiko , Fukuzumi Shin’ichi
Published: May 2022

We have been developing methods of clarifying and describing customer needs for usability on the basis of human-centered design (HCD) processes. This paper proposes a method of clarifying customer needs in requirements definitions through prototype creation. This method helps system engineers (SEs) without expertise to create and evaluate suitable prototypes by offering prototype components based on the classification of customer needs. These components are defined as HI (human interface) patterns that have four layers of screen transitions, screen layouts, screen elements, and color combinations. This proposed method is assumed to solve problems with previous prototypes such as those where it was not easy for unskilled SEs to create prototypes that reflected customer needs. We confirmed the effectiveness of this method and found additional problems by applying it to a system development project.
Multi-Method Systems Modeling and Analysis: Is It Possible to Apply Holistic Design, Linking the Physical and Cognitive Aspects?
Authors: Gielo-Perczak Krystyna
Published: May 2022

The objective of this study is to present relevant data which would support proposed taxonomy and methodology in physical-cognitive based control models of human performance. This approach can be applied directly to the development of emerging worker/user body systems with equal emphasis on biomechanical and cognitive performance. The worker’s biomechanical and physiological responses and functions are not imposed by the environment but are established by the system itself. Thus, there is an emerging need for the concept of a human system with perceptive insight into the complexity of the mutual relationships of the human biomechanical measures and cognitive factors. The description of human operators/users should reflect the biomechanical measures of fatigue and the complexity of brain activity, which includes cognition and the dynamic process of knowing. Many system control problems arise from a lack of attention to the interactions among different human system components in relation to the work/activity environment. In order to predict the ecological connectivity there is an arising necessitation to model the mutual relationships of environment, perception, body sensors and task. The proposed method can be represented in terms of control-theoretical features for quantitative predictions in the various work environment behaviors.
