Object representations reflect hierarchical scene structure and depend on high-level visual, semantic, and action information.

Published: April 2024

Objects in real-world scenes typically follow regular, hierarchically structured arrangements, where anchor objects (e.g., a sink) guide the placement and identification of associated local objects (e.g., a toothbrush), forming clusters referred to as "phrases." Depending on the actions performed within a scene, it can consist of multiple such phrases. According to the scene grammar framework, these hierarchical relationships enable the brain to efficiently process complex scenes and guide behavior by leveraging the statistical regularities of object arrangements. This study investigates whether shared neural representations of objects reflect this hierarchical organization. Using EEG, we explored the temporal dynamics of phrase-specific shared object representations through cross-classification analysis. Specifically, classifiers were trained on neural data from one object type (either the anchor or its associated local object) and tested for their ability to generalize to other objects within and between phrases, as well as across different scenes. Our findings reveal an early time window (128–164 ms) that supports the existence of phrase-specific shared object representations. Additionally, representational similarity analysis (RSA) revealed that these shared representations predominantly rely on high-level visual and semantic features, as well as implied actions, rather than low-level visual similarities. Notably, "upward" generalization (local to anchor) is driven primarily by high-level visual and semantic features, while "downward" generalization (anchor to local) is influenced by high-level semantic features and implied actions. These findings provide evidence that early object processing in the brain mirrors the behaviorally relevant hierarchical structure of real-world scenes.
Character strengths and allyship: Exploring character profiles that position employees to address bias at work

Published: April 2024

Allyship is typically conceptualized as direct confrontations with bias perpetrators. Conceptualized so narrowly, allyship toward women could be ill-fitting for men with heart-based strengths such as kindness and social intelligence. Using pre-registered person- and variable-centered analyses, we examined how well 10 distinct allyship strategies were perceived as personally good-fitting in an international sample (N = 3,863) of employed men with high gender equity values. ‘Giving credit/deference to women’ and ‘cheerleading for women’s career advancement’ (relationship-building strategies) were rated best-fitting, whereas ‘calling out’ and ‘investing time/effort to support women’ (committed strategies) were worst-fitting. Person-centered analyses revealed that men in our “Good Character” profile (high bravery, fairness, kindness, perspective, and social intelligence) rated both relationship-building and committed strategies as better-fitting than did other men. Exploratory variable-centered analyses indicated that kindness and social intelligence were associated with more allyship strategies than any of the other 22 strengths we tested.

A diverse account of allyship suggests that many individuals can be allies and that some allyship strategies fit their personalities and character strengths better than others. Allyship can be categorized into Committed Strategies (e.g., publicly highlighting women’s strengths) that involve social risk or personal sacrifice, and Relationship-Building Strategies (e.g., active listening) that build supportive and trusting bonds with marginalized group members. Latent profile analyses of survey data from two randomly split samples of 1,814 and 1,813 men from 103 countries were used to examine mean differences across Big Five personality profiles on Committed and Relationship-building allyship strategies toward women in the workplace. Results indicated that people with Well-Adjusted personalities (high on all Big Five traits except low in neuroticism) viewed both Committed and Relationship-building strategies as better-fitting to their personalities, relative to the other three personality profiles that emerged in our data. Hierarchical regression analyses further found that five key character strengths (bravery, kindness, fairness, social intelligence, and perspective) explained additional variance beyond the Big Five in both Committed and Relationship-building strategies, reinforcing the value of character strengths in allyship. Exploratory bivariate correlations revealed that among the Big Five, agreeableness and openness were the strongest and most consistent predictors of 10 Committed and Relationship-building allyship strategies. These findings broaden the scope of who allies are as well as what allyship can look like and offer an additional path for allyship training through the development of character strengths.
Global Evidence for the Relevance of Irrelevant Events: International Soccer Games and Leader Approval
Authors: Kikuta Kyosuke , Ono Yoshikuni
Published: April 2024

Despite the intense debate over whether politically irrelevant events (e.g., football games) influence voters, existing literature predominantly focuses on the U.S. and a few developed countries, neglecting generalizability and heterogeneity across countries. Our study provides the first global evidence for the relevance of irrelevant events, analyzing the effects of international soccer games on leader approval in more than 100 countries (2008–2023). Leveraging “double” natural experiments, comprising as-if random assignments of interview dates and soccer results conditional on betting odds, we find that lucky victories enhanced public opinion about leaders by 7 percentage points, while unlucky losses lacked compensating effects. The analysis of causal mechanisms suggests that soccer games served as a benchmark of leader performance. Notably, these effects exhibit substantial cross-country variation, prompting us to consider contextual conditions across countries.
Lexical Availability and Foreign Language Teaching: Main Contributions of a Growing Field
Authors: Sánchez-Saus Laserna Marta
Published: April 2024

Teaching vocabulary presents a significant challenge in foreign language instruction. This article discusses the advantages that the results obtained in studies on lexical availability offer for foreign language teaching. The methodology of lexical availability, which involves extracting vocabulary that is closely associated with specific lexical categories, was first developed in France in the 1950s, and since then, it has been predominantly used for teaching Spanish as a first language. More recently, in the past 15 years, it has also been employed for teaching Spanish as a foreign language. This article examines the origins and methodology of lexical availability, with a particular focus on two significant applications related to teaching Spanish as a foreign language. From a cognitive standpoint, the article discusses studies analysing the configuration of the mental lexicon using available vocabulary data. From a didactic perspective, the article explores how lexical availability can be used to improve the selection of vocabulary in teaching materials for Spanish as a foreign language.

Authors: Melnikov Andrii , Shynkaruk Victor , Seleshchuk A.
Published: April 2024

The article offers theoretical and practical material on teaching swimming using innovative technologies during physical classes. In the modern scientific field, various concepts of swimming training have been developed, including holistic-separate, sequential, sequential-parallel and accelerated models, as well as those that use support and technical means. Within these models, different teaching methods and strategies are used, focused on specific pedagogical tasks and audience characteristics. Swimming is considered as a complex skill that requires the separate development of each swimming element: holding your breath, diving, surfacing, lying down, sliding, hand work, leg work, proper breathing. For ego acquisition, the method of repeated repetition of swimming exercises in water is used, which is a combination of studied exercises. Mastering a wide range of swimming movements in all types of swimming, from elementary to sports and elements of applied swimming, initially facilitates the choice of a simpler method, which facilitates the further study of others. In classes, not only standard, but also modular equipment should be used. This approach allows you to reduce the time needed to master swimming skills. The use of innovative technologies in the process of learning to swim contributes to the formation of interest in a healthy lifestyle, increases the level of swimming readiness and functional capabilities of the body. Swimming lessons are innovative in nature and are designed to develop skills that allow you to stay afloat in non-standard situations of everyday life. The article examines and summarizes data on the use of modern innovative methods and technologies of teaching swimming. When introducing innovative technologies into the process of learning to swim, it is necessary to adhere to such technological criteria as efficiency, systematicity, structuredness, scientificity, and procedurality. Innovative methods of teaching swimming include modern approaches and technologies that are designed to facilitate and improve the process of learning this skill. Similar methods can be gradually introduced into the process of physical education.

Published: April 2024

The presented article is devoted to one of the most urgent problems of the modern training system in mixed martial arts related to the search for effective ways of effective implementation in the process of competitive activity of the technical elements of mastering the wrestling and striking style of fighting.

It was established that only 10-15% of highly qualified MMA fighters are simultaneously able to demonstrate at a high level in the process of competitive activity mastery of the main technical elements of the wrestling and striking style of fighting. It was found that the priority of using blows with hands or feet, compared to the use of throws, suffocating and pain techniques, is justified by the athlete's anthropometric data and the development of a certain type of strength capabilities of muscle groups, which is primarily used as agonists and synergists in the process of performing the corresponding technical element. The insufficient level of energy supply of muscle activity in fights is one of the important problems that do not allow a certain category of athletes to implement the existing arsenal of technical elements (kicks and punches, throws, painful and suffocating techniques) in the process of holding fights at the same time.
Biomechanics of alpine skiing and the forces that affect it
Authors: Toporkov Oleksandr , Grynova Tetiana
Published: April 2024

The result in alpine skiing depends on the interaction of the athlete’s body and equipment with the snow. Therefore, to get the best results, you need to use the equipment in such a way as to get the necessary reaction from the snow, because turns and braking occur due to the impact of snow on the skis. At the same time, the athlete must constantly remain in balance to avoid falls. Therefore, the aim of the study was to investigate the biomechanical apparatus of an alpine skier and the main forces that act on him during the passage of the track. To achieve this goal, the method of theoretical analysis and generalization of scientific and methodological literature was used. This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the motor aspects and mechanics that affect athletes in alpine skiing. The article discusses the biomechanics of alpine skiing, its features and the main forces that act on an athlete while overcoming a ski slope. The article also discusses some specific terminology of skiing, which is closely related to the biomechanics of motor actions and the impact of physical forces on the athlete. Another crucial aspect of success in skiing is feeling. This article discusses the problem of using the information of sensations in skiers, obtained through musculo-articular channels and tactile senses of the athlete, the sense of time to assess the quality of downhill control. The study is important for training and preparation of athletes, where the analysis of biomechanics of movements allows to optimize the skiing technique and minimize the risk of injury. Understanding of these aspects helps to improve training strategies and develop more effective methods for improving skiing skills. The results of the research can contribute to the improvement of technique in amateur skiing, the improvement of technical training of athletes and the development of more effective training methods for achieving success in alpine skiing.

Published: April 2024

Dealing with consultations and appointments can be problematic if one of the parties does not commit to the appointment without any prior notice. Without any confirmation, whether he/she is in the office or not, this indirectly may affect students’ and other staff members with regards to their time management. Difficulty in determining this also affects students’ motivation to seek consultation with their lecturers when there are problems regarding their studies. Using the “Lecturer Is In-oT” application, student will be able to know the status of the lecturers whether they are available in the room or not through the user interface. This application will be based on human monitoring application by using a proximity sensor to determine the presence of lecturer. Raspberry Pi is used as the IoT gateway to connect the data gathered from the sensor to the IoT platform known as Firebase. The mobile application act as a user interface to display the data from the Firebase for the user to view the lecturer’s availability as ‘IN’ or ‘OUT’

Authors: Bawazir Mohammed Abdullah , Mahmud Murni , Abdul Molok Nurul Nuha , Zeki Akram
Published: April 2024

In today’s digital world, information assets have grown in importance, demanding measures to ensure their protection. Ubiquitously, end-users are having trouble ensuring the security of their personal information. The human factor is a major source of vulnerability in the field of information security. Traditional techniques that can be used to influence information security awareness (ISA) remain prohibitively expensive, time-consuming, and repetitive. In light of these challenges, this study proposes persuasive technology to influence end-users security awareness and behaviour intention. Based on our research, persuasive technology is effective in changing end-users attitudes and behaviours. In this context, this study assesses the effectiveness of persuasive technology use for influencing end-users’ ISA. In addition, this research establishes an integrated model for improving end-users’ ISA by incorporating relevant literature and multiple empirically verified theories, including Fogg Behaviour Model (FBM), Protection Motivation Theory (PMT), Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB), and Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). The integrated model has been proposed based on the main categories of FBM (motivation, ability, and trigger) to identify the effects of key factors in the persuasive technology context for influencing end-user ISA and behaviour intention. The prototype was developed by implementing the persuasive factors of the proposed model to measure the effectiveness of persuasive technology. Quantitative data from an experiment were gathered from 100 participants to validate the proposed research model using the paired sample T-test and partial least squares (PLS) to assess security awareness in the context of persuasive technology. The research findings show that using persuasive technology has a positive influence on ISA. The results also indicate the research model significantly predicts the key factors affecting security awareness and behaviour intention with respect to persuasive technology. Thus, this study suggests a model for the creation and development of a proactive and customised security awareness system. Therefore, persuasive technology, in general, has a positive effect on users’ security awareness and the intention of security behaviour

MOBILE MONEY AND ARCHETYPE FOR UNDERSTANDING END-USERS ADOPTION BEHAVIOURAL FACTORS VIZ. SOCIOECONOMIC,CULTURAL AND POLITICAL FACTORS IN SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA
Authors: Ikart Emmanuel Matthew
Published: April 2024

Whilst there has been considerable research on innovation adoption and diffusion in the rapid growth of mobile money, fewer studies have been conducted on the active engagement with the technology using a reference theory particularly studies in the context of SSA. Past studies of mobile money based on case studies, interviews and reviews of secondary data have focused on potential benefits, features, and implementation. Research studies on mobile money about SSA are mixed. The existing studies on mobile money adoption based on reference theories focused largely on Southeast Asia and developed nations. Most of these studies presume mobile money is readily available but the anus of accepting or rejecting it resides with end-users. This assumption falls short of realities for SSA, because SSA trails behind the rest of the world in modern technological infrastructures. This study investigates the precursors pertinent to understanding the adoption of mobile money in the context SSA as well as the implications of the interplay between technological infrastructures for mobile money with socioeconomic and political forces. The study makes important contributions to the literature and managerial practice by providing adequate understanding of the factors inherent to SSA contributing to poor mobile money adoption behaviour, building a modified TAM for mobile money adoption for SSA and establishing adequate knowledge for policymakers, governments, private investors, and NGOs in mapping-out key factors managers may have control over for investment in mobile money.

Authors: TANNI MAYMUNA GULFAM
Published: April 2024

It is not a secret that many university students are looking for job opportunities to do during their period of higher education. There are many reasons behind this search of theirs with monetary cases–especially for the B40 students–and job experience seeking that are related to their areas of study, being the top reasons. Unfortunately, finding a job that does not interfere with their studies is very hard to do. This paper is aiming to offer conceptual ideas of Taajir multi-sided platform business model that plan to address the two problems mentioned above which are aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in reducing poverty and creating a decent work and economic growth (SDG 1 and SDG 8). This paper discusses the key challenges and extreme pains that various customer segments confront, as well as a conceptual solution for overcoming those challenges. Adapting the Design Thinking (DT) approach using business modelling tools such as the Business Model Canvas (BMC) and the Value Proposition Canvas (VPC), the key problems and extreme pains were identified and viable conceptual solutions were generated. The DT approach entails conducting literature review, benchmarking, and interviews in understanding the extreme pains; ideation and brainstorming, design and testing of business model prototype in the form of BMC and VPC framework with various customer segments via surveys; and establish possible conceptual solutions in terms of business model and low-fidelity apps.
DIGITAL LITERACY AND INCLUSION IN THE NORTHERN REGION OF GHANA: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE IMPACT OF TAMALE ICT CENTRE AND TOLON MTN CENTRE
Authors: ADAMS LUKMAN MAHAMI
Published: April 2024

Arguably, there is a complete absence of research on the performance of the ICT centres in Tamale and Tolon, as well as its contribution to the development of their respective communities. In addition, there is a total lack of internet presence of the said facilities, thus little and in most cases nothing is known about their availability. Therefore, this research sought to ascertain and evaluate the relationship between ICT and development in the northern region by highlighting the efforts of the two ICT centres in bridging the digital literacy and inclusion gap between Southern Ghana and Northern Ghana. The researcher agrees that corporate social responsibility is voluntary and beneficial but in order for communities like Tolon and Tamale to benefit fully from corporate social responsibility, the government of Ghana through the various regional, metropolitan, municipal and district coordinating councils should fully absorb such projects because projects by corporations are handed over to communities without formally structuring the operations of facilities.

This business model paper explores the potential of utilising mosque space for farming with the aim of assisting low-income and B40 communities. The purpose of this paper is to develop a conceptual business model including a digital platform and application as well as to assess the feasibility of this concept and address the growing demand for locally grown and organic produce, while also providing an opportunity for the mosque to generate additional revenue streams. The paper outlines the methodology used, which is Design Thinking, by conducting literature review (LR), benchmarking and survey to further understand the problem that later helps in creating our own business case model (BMC) and Value Proposition Canvas (VPC). It also highlights the potential social and environmental benefits of this model, such as increased community engagement and the reduction of carbon footprints through localised food production. The proposed business model aims to create a new paradigm for sustainable food production, with mosques serving as community hubs for education, training, and innovation in the field of urban farming. The paper concludes by outlining the potential challenges and risks involved in this venture and proposes strategies to mitigate them. Ultimately, this business paper represents an exciting opportunity for mosques to become leaders in sustainable food production and community engagement. This conceptual business model would also provide educational opportunities for members of the community to learn about urban farming, nutrition, and healthy eating habits. By focusing on serving low-income and B40 communities, the business aims to address food insecurity and promote equitable access to healthy, locally grown produce. This would help to improve the overall health and well-being of the community, while also providing economic opportunities for low-income individuals to participate in the farming and distribution of produce.

Published: April 2024

This paper presents the results of an in situ study on the evolution of the microstructure and phase composition of 3D-printed Ti–6Al–4V samples under tension in the transmission electron microscope col-umn. The microstructure of Ti–6Al–4V specimens manufactured by wire-feed electron beam additive tech-nology is shown to consist of columnar primary β-grains inside of which are α/α'-Ti laths separated by layers of the residual β-phase and gathered into packets. A characteristic feature of 3D-printed Ti–6Al–4V samples is the concentration nonuniformity of the alloying elements due to the partial decomposition of the marten-sitic α'-phase. The reorientation of the α/α'-Ti lattice near interfaces takes place during uniaxial tension. Deformation-induced α'→α" transformations can develop in the reoriented regions of the α/α'-Ti lattice, in places enriched in vanadium.
The Effect of TiN Nanoparticles on the Structure and Mechanical Properties of the Porous–Solid Steel Joint Formed
by Laser-Beam Welding
Authors: Cherepanov A. N. , Drozdov V. O. , Filippov A. A.
Published: April 2024

The formation of a crystal structure and properties of a welded joint between a porous stainless steel plate and a solid plate of greater thickness with the use of nanomodifying additives has been experimentally investigated. To obtain a high-quality butt joint of the plates, the end layer of the solid plate was found to have been penetrated. The laser beam axis is shifted from the boundary of the plate joint by some distance, which is necessary to compensate the (material of) metal during the melting of the porous plate. The application ofnanomodifying additives reduces the grain size of the weld structure, which, in turn, has a positive effect on the mechanical properties of the resulting joint. The results of tensile strength tests have shown that the failureof nanomodified samples, unlike unmodified ones, occurred only in the main porous metal. The average value of the tensile strength is 89.5 MPa.

Authors: Benarieb I. , Dynin N. V. , Zaitsev D. V. , Sbitneva S. V.
Published: April 2024

Round ingots 110 mm in diameter and cold-rolled sheets 2 mm in thickness, which were made of experimental Al–Mg–Sc alloys containing different scandium content (0.07, 0.20 wt %), have been studied. Transmission electron microscopy and thermodynamic simulation have been used to investigate the peculiar-ities of the structural-phase state of the material. A reduction in scandium content from 0.20 to 0.07% has been found to result in a twofold increase in the grain size in ingots, a 46% drop in hardening of ingots after homogenization, and a 10–20% decrease in the strength of annealed sheets, which has been caused by a smaller amount of the key phase, Al3(Sc, Zr). A good level of strength characteristics of experimental annealed sheets made of alloy with low scandium content 0.07 wt % (σu 400 MPa, σ0.2 300 MPa) has been achieved and it is higher than that of the traditional AMg6 alloy (σu 350 MPa, σ0.2 150 MPa).

The perspective of a decrease in the content of lanthanum from 2 to 0.5 wt % in new alloys has been validated using advanced methods for analyzing the structure and phase composition (electron microscopy, X-ray phase analysis, thermodynamic calculation) and using the analysis of mechanical (tensile) properties formed in the course of deformation treatment. The evolution of the struc-ture of the alloys was studied in the course of thermodeformation treatment. It has been shown that upon hot rolling at 400°С with no preliminary annealing of ingots it is possible to obtain high-quality deformed semiproducts (sheets) with no surface and edge defects (up to a 90% reduction). The deformation treatmentprovides the formation of a structure with inclusions of a (Al,Mn)4(Ca,La) eutectic phase uniformly distrib-uted in an aluminum matrix and found in a form of ring-shaped precipitates of submicron sizes (300 × 150 nm). In addition, the formation of a net of low-angle boundaries (subgrains) with a mean size of ~1 μm is observed; some inclusions of a eutectic phase are found along these boundaries. This combination of struc-tural characteristics mainly determines the ability of reaching favorable mechanical properties of an alloy after hot rolling with 0.5 wt % La (the ultimate strength of 240–260 MPa, yield strength of 185–205 MPa, and rel-ative elongation of 5.5–9.0%), which are comparable with the properties of the previously studied alloy with up to 2 wt % La.

A calculation technique (Thermo-Calc software code) and experimental methods (scanning and transmission electron microscopy and X-ray spectral analysis) have been used to study the effect of thermodeformation treatment on the structure and strengthening of the Al–7.1% Zn–2.8% Mg–1.4% Ni–1.1% Fe alloy produced via casting in an electromagnetic crystallizer (EMC). It has been shown that at a cooling rate higher than 103 K/s, the entire amount of iron, which exceeds its content in the grade AZ6NF alloy (GOST 4784–2019) by two times, is bound into eutectic inclusions of the Al9FeNi phase of a submicron size. Thecombination of high hardness (more than 190 HV) and ductility indicates the advantages of applying the EMC technology to this alloy.

Nanocomposites (CoFeB)x(LiNbO3)100 – x with x = 17–48 at % have been synthesized by ion beam sputtering of a composite target comprised of Co40Fe40B20 and LiNbO3 onto silicon substrates, and the tran-sitions from the superparamagnetic state to the superferromagnetic and ferromagnetic states with an increase in the concentration of the magnetic component are studied by magneto-optical methods. The magneto-optical properties have been investigated in the geometry of the equatorial (transverse) Kerr effect (TKE). Magneto-optical spectra are recorded in the range of 0.5–4.0 eV in fields up to 2.5 kOe at 20–300 K, field and temperature dependences of the TKE at certain wavelengths are obtained, and the domain structure during magnetization reversal is visualized using a magneto-optical Kerr microscope. It is shown that the sample with x = 17 at % is superparamagnetic at temperatures above the blocking temperature (about 30 K). The interaction between the granules is considerable already at x = 20 at %, the transition to the superferro-magnetic state occurs at x ≈ 32–36 at %, and the transition to the ferromagnetic state occurs at x ≈ 44 at %near the metal–dielectric transition, i.e., at a concentration below the percolation transport threshold.

The parameters of the hyperfine interaction of 57Fe nuclei in single crystals of iron borate FeBO3 and its isostructural solid solution Fe0.91Ga0.09BO3 have been determined by Mössbauer spectroscopy. A theoretical model has been developed to describe resonant transitions of iron nuclei in the approximation of a combined magnetic dipole and electric quadrupole hyperfine interaction, taking into account the statistical distribution of Ga and Fe over octahedral positions in the Fe0.91Ga0.09BO3 crystal. It has been established that even a low Ga concentration leads to a significant change in the hyperfine structure of the 57Fe nuclei inFeBO3, which manifests itself in the appearance of additional components in the Mössbauer spectra of the Fe0.91Ga0.09BO3 single crystal.

Abstract—The results of studies of the kinetics of solid solution decomposition during firing of fine-grained conductive alloys Al–0.5% Mg–Sc with different scandium content are presented. The alloys were obtained by induction casting, and the fine-grained microstructure was formed using equal-channel angular pressing. The kinetics of the decomposition of a solid solution has been studied using methods for measuring electrical resistivity and microhardness. The results were analyzed using the Johnson–Mel–Avrami–Kolmogorov equation. It is shown that during the firing of fine-grained alloys, the separation of Al3Sc particles along the nuclei of lattice dislocations is observed, and discontinuous precipitation of scandium in aluminum also occurs.
