Impacts of Touch Screen Size, User Interface Design, and Subtask Boundaries on In-Car Task's Visual Demand and Driver Distraction
2020
Visual distraction by secondary in-car tasks is a major contributing factor in traffic incidents. In-car user interface design may mitigate these negative effects but to accomplish this, design factors’ visual distraction potential should be better understood. The effects of touch screen size, user interface design, and subtask boundaries on in-car task's visual demand and visual distraction potential were studied in two driving simulator experiments with 48 participants. Multilevel modeling was utilized to control the visual demands of driving and individual differences on in-car glance durations. The 2.5” larger touch screen slightly decreased the in-car glance durations and had a diminis…
How to Enhance the Sharing of Cyber Incident Information via Fine-Grained Access Control
2022
Industry 4.0 and the ongoing digital transformation along with a large number interconnected machines anddevices increase the role of cybersecurity, cyber incident handling and incident response in the factories of the future (FoF). Cyber incident information sharing plays a major role when we need to formulate situational pictures about FoF operations and environment, and respond to cybersecurity threats related to e.g. the implementation of novel technologies. Sharing of incident information has a major drawback since it may reveal too much about the attack target, e.g. in the case of legacy systems and therefore restrictions may apply. We have developed a proof-of-concept service that co…
Regional Farmers’ Perception and Societal Issues in Vineyards Affected by High Erosion Rates
2021
We explore the current situation in a viticultural region in Eastern Spain from a holistic and multifaceted research approach, which allowed us to understand the biophysical conditions, economic cost, social impact, and perception of the farmers’ community to the use of catch crops. A survey of the perception of the farmers, and an assessment of the biophysical impact of catch crops (CC) and tillage (C = Control plot) on soil organic matter, bulk density, infiltration capacity (single ring infiltrometer), and runoff generation and soil erosion (rainfall simulation experiments) was carried out. Two representative fields as study sites were selected in Les Alcusses valley, within Els Alforins…
Risk of threats in the Opolskie Voivodeship and the awareness of residents
2019
Województwo opolskie zostało dotknięte powodzią nazywaną również ,,powodzią tysiąclecia” w 1997 r., lecz wielu mieszkańców pamięta te dotkliwe zdarzenia. Z pewnością od tego czasu wyciągnięto wiele wniosków i dokonano zmian w procedurach, niemniej jednak nawet najlepsza organizacja wymaga współpracy ludności cywilnej w momencie wystąpienia zagrożenia. Bez wiedzy mieszkańców na temat sposobów reagowania na poszczególne zagrożenia, nie można mówić o dobrym przygotowaniu. Stąd też niniejszy artykuł jest próbą przedstawienia zagrożeń mogących pojawić się na terenie województwa opolskiego oraz jedynie wskazania odpowiedzialnych pod- miotów wiodących, jak np. Wojewoda Opolski w fazie zapobiegania…
Beyond early: Decision support for improved typhoon warning systems
2015
International audience; Warnings can help prevent damage and harm if they are issued timely and provide information that help responders and population to adequately prepare for the disaster to come. Today, there are many indicator and sensor systems that are designed to reduce disaster risks, or issue early warnings. In this paper we analyze the different systems in the light of the initial decisions that need to be made in the response to sudden onset disasters. We outline challenges of current practices and methods, and provide an agenda for future research.To illustrate our approach, we present a case study of Typhoon Haiyan. Although meteorological services had issued warnings; relief …
A qualitative study of pre-service teachers’ experienced benefits and concerns of using motivational interaction in practice after a training course
2022
This is a pre-print of a published study: Renko, E., Koski-Jännes, A., Absetz, P. et al. A qualitative study of pre-service teachers’ experienced benefits and concerns of using motivational interaction in practice after a training course. Humanit Soc Sci Commun 9, 458 (2022). https://doi.org/10.1057/s41599-022-01484-y Despite its positive effects on physical activity promotion, motivational style of interaction by health professionals is not easily taken up, as shown by meta-analyses of training courses. The concerns professionals experience for taking up the novel skills remain an open question. Preservice physical education teachers were offered a 16-hour training course on motivational i…
Conflicts in workplace in technology-mediated communication
2017
Konfliktit työyhteisön teknologiavälitteisessä vuorovaikutuksessa. Tämän tutkielman tavoitteena oli kuvata työntekijöiden havaintoja konflikteista, jotka ilmenivät työpaikkojen teknologiavälitteisessä vuorovaikutuksessa. Työntekijöiden havaintoihin pohjaten tutkielma pyrki kasvattamaan ymmärrystä työelämässä ja teknologiavälitteisessä vuorovaikutuksessa ilmenevistä konflikteista etsimällä vastauksia siihen, millaisia syitä, seurauksia ja lopputuloksia konflikteilla on työyhteisöjen teknologiavälitteisessä vuorovaikutuksessa. Konfliktien ja niiden hallintakeinojen ymmärtäminen on tärkeää työyhteisöille ja niissä toimiville työyhteisön jäsenille. Tutkielman menetelmänä käytettiin teoriasidonn…
Interaction between students and class teachers in vocational education and training: ‘Safety distance is needed’
2020
Interaction between students and teachers is fundamental and has therefore been widely studied in education. However, there have been few studies on intensive spe-cial support being provided to vocational education and training (VET) students. Firstly, the focus of this article is on students’ perceptions of interactions with their class teachers. Students (aged 17–34 years) from four Finnish vocational institutions providing intensive special support were interviewed. According to the findings, the demands students placed on their class teachers and for interactions with them were modest and their perceptions of both were favourable. Interactions seemed to be study-orientated and class tea…
Communicating across the borders: managing work-life boundaries through communication in various domains
2021
Communicating work issues at home and home issues at work, also known as across-the-border (ATB) communication, is a part of everyday work and family interaction. This study focuses on the concept of ATB communication, using Work/Family Border Theory, according to which the boundaries between work and private life are seen as negotiated and shaped through social interactions and practices. We argue that through ATB communication, and especially by focusing on what is shared and how, employees can manage boundaries and achieve work-life balance. Altogether, 32 informants, comprising journalists (N = 16) and their relational others (N = 16), were interviewed to investigate the role of ATB com…
Perceived status and value
2017
This article examines how students in a multidisciplinary project-based learning course involving real customers perceive their interactions with their customers. The authors conducted a qualitative study and analysed students’ learning reports by means of a thematic network analysis. The analysis shows how students perceive their status in relation to their customers and how their perceptions of their work affect how they see the value of the projects. The authors consider their empirical findings in the context of the existing literature on university–industry collaboration and thereby summarize different scenarios of the contrasting working practices and priorities in academia and indus…
