description: COVID-19 became a global epidemic after its breakout in December 2019. With the help of information technology, many countries developed contact tracing systems to reduce the spread of the epidemic. Although the WHO declared in May 2023 that COVID-19 is no longer a global public health emergency, the virus is still constantly changing and endangering individuals worldwide. In Taiwan, Social Distancing APP is a voluntary contact tracing app that has been downloaded and utilized approximately 9.5 million times. However, adoption remains low. To prevent the spread of the epidemic and encourage more people to use it, understanding the factors influencing continuance intentions to use social distancing apps is an important topic. The research model is composed of two parts: the modified expectation confirmation model (ECM) and personal norms. Our research model was assessed using data from a sample of 501 users of social distancing apps and was analyzed using the partial least squares structural equation model (PLS-SEM). The results of this study suggest that (1) personal norms are the most important factor influencing continuance intention, followed by satisfaction, perceived usefulness, and descriptive norms; (2) personal norms fully mediate the relationship between injunctive norms and continuance intention; (3) personal norms partially mediate the relationship between descriptive norms and continuance intention; (4) personal norms negatively moderate the relationship between satisfaction and continuance intention; and (5) personal norms positively moderate the relationship between disappointment and continuance intention. This study also discusses the implications of a modified ECM and personal norms for continuance intention to use contact tracing apps.

description: The Rapid Visual Information Processing (RVIP) task, a serial discrimination task where task performance believed to reflect sustained attention capabilities, is widely used in behavioural research and increasingly in neuroimaging studies. To date, functional neuroimaging research into the RVIP has been undertaken using block analyses, reflecting the sustained processing involved in the task, but not necessarily the transient processes associated with individual trial performance. Furthermore, this research has been limited to young cohorts. This study assessed the behavioural and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) outcomes of the RVIP task using both block and event-related analyses in a healthy middle aged cohort (mean age = 53.56 years, n = 16). The results show that the version of the RVIP used here is sensitive to changes in attentional demand processes with participants achieving a 43% accuracy hit rate in the experimental task compared with 96% accuracy in the control task. As shown by previous research, the block analysis revealed an increase in activation in a network of frontal, parietal, occipital and cerebellar regions. The event related analysis showed a similar network of activation, seemingly omitting regions involved in the processing of the task (as shown in the block analysis), such as occipital areas and the thalamus, providing an indication of a network of regions involved in correct trial performance. Frontal (superior and inferior frontal gryi), parietal (precuenus, inferior parietal lobe) and cerebellar regions were shown to be active in both the block and event-related analyses, suggesting their importance in sustained attention/vigilance. These networks and the differences between them are discussed in detail, as well as implications for future research in middle aged cohorts.

description: Autonomous driving (AD) technology has gradually matured, but the lack of trust and acceptance from users limits its adoption and diffusion. This paper aims to solve the challenges and alleviate the trust crisis by exploring reasonable interactive output modalities. Firstly, we propose a multimodal interactive output scheme with 9 different feedback level. Subsequently, we conduct simulated driving experiments on the scheme, using three methods: driving trust experience questionnaire (DTEQ), eye-tracking, and takeover desire recording. Finally, we analyze the trends and correlations of results at different interactive output levels. The results indicate that the user trust experience is highly positively correlated with the level of interactive output modalities. Under reasonable design, multimodal and high-level interactive output is beneficial for providing more comprehensive feedback information, reducing users’ visual workload, and improving trust. This work provides a foundation for enhancement of user trust experience, and helps promote the application and popularization of AD.

description: Traditional unidirectional communication through audio-visual media, such as video and slide, is a universal method of vividly narrating artifacts in museums. This traditional method is evolving with the integration of new technologies to engage visitors, enhancing their experience and learning. In recent years, eye-controlled interaction has been used to enrich traditional exhibitions, especially of ancient paintings. This article presents an eye-controlled application for actively viewing the audio-visual media of a traditional Chinese painting. Users can trigger animations and audio narrations by focusing their gaze on specific areas of the screen. To evaluate the value of experience and learning in integrating audio-visual media with eye-controlled interaction, we compared Eye-Controlled Application with the two baseline conditions (Video and Slide) through a comparison experiment (N = 40) in terms of user experience, learning outcome, cognitive load, intrinsic motivation, and visual behavior. The findings indicated the positive effects of Eye-Controlled Application on experience and learning, especially understanding. Users had stronger intrinsic motivation using Eye-Controlled Application, which contributed to positive learning outcomes. We found that Eye-Controlled Application changed visual behavior by increasing the proportion of gaze patterns and decreasing the proportion of movement patterns and scan patterns. The alteration in visual behavior primarily stemmed from the eye-controlled interaction, which directed the user’s focus toward specific areas, thereby guiding their attention to the necessary content. Additionally, the qualitative results suggested that each of the three conditions had its advantages and disadvantages. Importantly, the condition with Eye-Controlled Application carried potential risks of distraction, reduced efficiency, and increased burden. This study contributes to the potential of eye-controlled interaction for enhancing visitors’ experience and learning, providing new insights into the development of interactive audio-visual media within museums.

description: Recent new product development (NPD) teams apply various generative AI (GenAI) tools in the development process, yet it is not fully understood about the factors affecting teams’ adoption of these tools. This research identifies factors driving the use and attitudes toward GenAI in NPD tasks based on the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT). We interviewed nine GenAI users in NPD teams and conducted a survey study with 309 participants. By exploratory factor analysis and hierarchical regressions, we identified a composite factor of performance expectancy and anthropomorphism as the strongest positive predictor of attitudes, and task-tool fitness as the strongest positive predictor of behavioral intention. Besides, we also identified significant predictors including several other factors in UTAUT and individual differences in AI self-efficacy. The findings can be used for developing UTAUT models and designing GenAI tools specific to NPD purposes.

description: The objective of this research is the assessment of the efficiency of a non-linear regression technique in predicting long-term seasonal rainfall. The non-linear models were developed using the lagged (past) values of the climate drivers, which have a significant correlation with rainfall. More specifically, the capabilities of SEIO (South-eastern Indian Ocean) and ENSO (El Nino Southern Oscillation) were assessed in reproducing the rainfall characteristics using the non-linear regression approach. The non-linear models developed were tested using the individual data sets, which were not used during the calibration of the models. The models were assessed using the commonly used statistical parameters, such as Pearson correlations (R), root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE) and index of agreement (d). Three rainfall stations located in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) were selected as a case study. The analysis suggests that the predictors which has the highest correlation with the predictands do not necessarily produce the least errors in rainfall forecasting. The non-linear regression was able to predict seasonal rainfall with correlation coefficients varying from 0.71 to 0.91. The outcomes of the analysis will help the watershed management authorities to adopt efficient modelling technique by predicting long-term seasonal rainfall.

description: With ever-increasing water demand, authorities around the world are considering different options including water recycling and rainwater harvesting to minimize potable water demand. Among all the alternative options, rainwater harvesting system is the most feasible to minimize potable water demand, This paper presents development of generalised equations for the quantifications of potential water savings under different climatic conditions for an Australian city, Adelaide. An earlier developed daily water balance model, eTank, which can calculate potential water savings in three climatic conditions (dry, average and wet) was used for this purpose. Several relationship graphs of water savings were produced through model calculations for different input parameters, i.e. roof area, tank volume and rainwater demand for each climatic condition. From the produced graphs, three (one for each climatic condition) generalised equations were developed, where water savings were presented as a function of roof area, demand and tank volume. Results from the developed equations were compared with model calculated results under different conditions and it is found that results from the generalised equations are very close to the model calculated results. Such equations are expected to be very helpful for general end users and will encourage them for implementing rainwater harvesting with prior knowledge.
On the Role of Expectations in Multi-agent Reasoning and Decision Making
Creators: name: Vo, Bao Quoc
name: Li, Minyi
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: In game theory, the notion of expectation is made implicit. That is, most game-theoretic solution concepts, such as equilibrium, rationalizability, assume that agents expect one another to play their respective strategies according to the solution(s) induced by these solution concepts. This assumption limits the applicability of these solution concepts to many multi-agent systems situated in open and dynamic environments due to obvious reasons: agents being resource-bounded, agents being rational-bounded, and agents not knowing some relevant aspects of the game they are playing. In this paper, by making agents' expectations explicit we provide a generic and flexible framework to allow concepts and results of game theory to be more readily mapped to the reasoning and decision making mechanisms in multi-agent systems.

description: Agriculture in Namibia faces significant challenges, including a shortage of moisture, erratic rainfall patterns, frequent droughts, and low literacy levels among farmers, compounded by inadequate management skills. Despite contributing a modest portion (just over 4%) to Namibia's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in recent years, agriculture remains a cornerstone of the nation's economy due to its vital role in providing livelihoods for the predominantly rural population and generating foreign exchange. The agricultural sector is predominantly reliant on extensive livestock ranching, particularly cattle, goats, and sheep. Cattle farming, in particular, is managed with minimal external inputs, relying mainly on natural vegetation, and supplementation is only provided to address nutritional deficiencies in the forage. This system of livestock ranching is at risk due to the variable environmental conditions and the challenges faced in managing limited resources effectively. This paper explores the constraints on agricultural productivity in Namibia, with an emphasis on livestock farming, and highlights the need for improved agricultural management practices and adaptation strategies to mitigate the effects of environmental challenges and ensure sustainability
title: Empowering women through employment: determinants and impacts
Creators: name: Alotaibi, Alanood Duhaim
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2026

description: This thesis comprises three empirical papers examining the determinants and consequences of 
women’s employment in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, with a specific 
focus on Egypt and Saudi Arabia. Using large-scale nationally representative datasets and 
robust econometric methods, the thesis explores how early childbirth, maternal employment, 
and legal reforms shape women’s labour force participation, sectoral integration, and family 
wellbeing outcomes.
The first paper investigates how the age at first birth influences women’s employment 
outcomes in Egypt. Using data from the 2008 and 2014 Egypt Demographic and Health 
Surveys (EDHS), the chapter employs Propensity Score Matching (PSM), logistic and 
multinomial logit models, and a Two-Stage Residual Inclusion (2SRI) approach to address 
endogeneity. Results indicate that early motherhood (before age 20) significantly reduces the 
employment, particularly in wage jobs. Delaying childbirth increase employment, and higher 
education levels moderate the negative effects of early childbirth, although the penalties persist 
even among educated women.
The second paper examines the impact of maternal employment on child health in 
Egypt, using pooled EDHS data from 2005, 2008, and 2014. Applying an instrumental variable 
approach (2SLS), the chapter finds that maternal employment increases the likelihood of child 
stunting by 12.6%. The effects are more pronounced among children under two and vary across 
maternal occupations: employment in service jobs is associated with reduced stunting but 
higher rates of wasting, while physically demanding jobs show no significant associations. 
These findings highlight trade-offs between income and caregiving time, particularly during 
early childhood.
The third paper evaluates the impact of Saudi Arabia’s 2019 legal reforms—removing 
male guardianship restrictions, improving travel and work rights, and introducing anti�discrimination measures—on female labour force participation. Using Labour Force Survey 
data from 2019 and 2022, the chapter applies a before-and-after framework and Propensity 
Score Matching. The results show that women’s employment increased by 10.5% following 
the reforms, with notable gains in male-dominated sectors such as construction and trade. 
Although the reforms primarily targeted women, a small positive spillover effect is observed 
on male employment. The findings are framed within feminist legal theory and human capital 
theory, illustrating the interplay between legal reforms and labour market structures.

description: Detecting inconsistencies is a critical part of Requirements Engineering (RE) and has been a topic of interest for several decades. Domain knowledge and semantics of requirements not only play important roles in elaborating requirements but are also a crucial way to detect conflicts among them. In this paper we present a novel knowledge-based RE framework (KBRE) in which domain knowledge and semantics of requirements are central to elaboration, structuring, and management of captured requirements. Moreover, we also show how they facilitate the identification of requirements inconsistencies and other related problems. In our KBRE model, Description Logic (DL) is used as the fundamental logical system for requirements analysis and reasoning. In addition, the application of DL in the form of Manchester OWL Syntax brings simplicity to the formalization of requirements while preserving sufficient expressive power. A tool has been developed and applied to an industrial use case to validate our approach.

Undergraduate student acceptance of a unit design for developing independent learning abilities

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This paper describes a method intended to advance students along the path to independent learning. The method is consistent with the principles of enquiry-based Learning. It involves restructuring student contact class time into a single three-hour block, and dedicating the majority of this time to working in small research project groups. Non-punitive, formative feedback is provided continuously on student work through the semester. In order to gain insight into the student experience of the design, a qualitative study using focus groups was conducted across two consecutive semesters. Reflection on the teaching experience in light of the student responses provides insight into aspects that have worked well, particularly the nature and channels of support provided to students. Despite the students’ unfamiliarity with the unit design, the contact structure and the group work has been popular and has been perceived as contributing to the students’ learning experience. The levels of support and feedback made possible through the unit design have also been very positively viewed. However, interesting questions are also raised. The first is regarding the balance between encouraging independent learning and the provision of structure and support by staff. The second is related to going beyond student perceptions and reliably measuring changes in independent learning abilities.

Application of robust design methodology to battery packs for electric vehicles: Identification of critical technical requirements for modular architecture

description: Modularity-in-design of battery packs for electric vehicles (EVs) is crucial to offset their high manufacturing cost. However, inconsistencies in performance of EV battery packs can be introduced by various sources. Sources of variation affect their robustness. In this paper, parameter diagram, a value-based conceptual analysis approach, is applied to analyze these variations. Their interaction with customer requirements, i.e., ideal system output, are examined and critical engineering features for designing modular battery packs for EV applications are determined. Consequently, sources of variability, which have a detrimental effect on mass-producibility of EV battery packs, are identified and differentiated from the set of control factors. Theoretically, appropriate control level settings can minimize sensitivity of EV battery packs to the sources of variability. In view of this, strength of the relationship between ideal system response and various control factors is studied using a "house of quality" diagram. It is found that battery thermal management system and packaging architecture are the two most influential parameters having the largest effect on reliability of EV battery packs. More importantly, it is noted that heat transfer between adjacent battery modules cannot be eliminated. For successful implementation of modular architecture, it is, therefore, essential that mechanical modularity must be enabled via thermal modularity of EV battery packs.

description: Theorists operating from within a narrative identity framework have suggested that self-reflective reasoning plays a central role in the development of the self. Typically, however, narrative identity researchers have investigated this relationship using correlational rather than experimental methods. In the present study, leveraging on a classic research paradigm from within the social identity literature we developed an experiment to test the extent to which self-reflection might have a causal impact on the self-concept within a decision-making context. In a minimal group paradigm participants were prompted to reflect on their painting choices either before or after allocating points to in-group out-group members. As anticipated, self-reflection augmented social identification, but only when participants felt their choices were personally meaningful. Participants who reasoned about their choices and felt they were subjectively meaningful showed stronger similarity and liking for in-group members compared to those who did not reflect on their choices or found them to be subjectively meaningless. Hence, reflecting on and finding meaning in one's choices may be an important step in linking behavior with in-group identification and thus the self-concept in turn. The absence of any effects on in-group favoritism (a third indicator of social identification measured) as well as implications of the study's findings for self-perception, cognitive dissonance and social identity processes are also discussed.
