Explanatory frameworks for interaction design
2005
Explanatory design means the practice by which design solutions are evidence-based. This practice has been the norm in engineering design, relying as it does on the laws of science, but much less attention has been paid to the necessity of abandoning intuitive practices in designing for the human element within technological systems. One reason for this may have been the variety of explanatory bases within psychology. There is no single psychological framework for explaining human behaviour; instead different types of problems must be solved by using very different types of explanatory frameworks and theory language. Cognitive capacity, emotions and mental contents may serve as examples of …
Differences in familiarity according to the cognitive reserve of healthy elderly people / Diferencias en familiaridad en función de la reserva cognit…
2014
AbstractThis study examines the relationship between cognitive reserve and familiarity processes in recognition memory. We hypothesize that people with high cognitive reserve are able to better compensate in alternative information retrieval processes. Forty-five participants, divided into high and low cognitive reserve groups, conducted a recognition experiment where they were asked to discriminate between studied and non-studied words that varied in perceptual familiarity. The results indicated that participants were able to use perceptual familiarity to improve their level of recognition. More importantly, people with high cognitive reserve used familiarity better than those with low cog…
Cognition in HCI : An Ongoing Story
2009
The field of human computer interaction (HCI) is deeply rooted in cognitive science. But can cognitive science still contribute to the newest developments? This article introduces the recent trends towards “embodied cognition.” Then research on image schemas and their metaphorical extensions is reviewed as an example of how understanding a special branch of embodied cognition can be useful to HCI. Special emphasis is placed on the validity of the theory and its practicability in different phases of the user interface design cycle. It is concluded that cognition can still contribute to current HCI and that the dialogue between the different schools of thought is beneficial to the field.
Stability of FeVO4-II under Pressure: A First-Principles Study
2022
In this work, we report first-principles calculations to study FeVO4 in the CrVO4 -type (phase II) structure under pressure. Total-energy calculations were performed in order to analyze the structural parameters, the electronic, elastic, mechanical, and vibrational properties of FeVO4 -II up to 9.6 GPa for the first time. We found a good agreement in the structural parameters with the experimental results available in the literature. The electronic structure analysis was complemented with results obtained from the Laplacian of the charge density at the bond critical points within the Quantum Theory of Atoms in Molecules methodology. Our findings from the elastic, mechanic, and vibrational p…
CO2 and CH2 Adsorption on Copper-Decorated Graphene: Predictions from First Principle Calculations
2022
Calculations were performed using Latvian Super Cluster (LASC), located in Center of Excellence at Institute of Solid State Physics, the University of Latvia, which is supported by European Union Horizon2020 Framework Programme H2020-WIDESPREAD-01-2016-2017-TeamingPhase2 under Grant Agreement No. 739508, project CAMART2. The authors would like to express their gratitude for funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 768789 (CO2EXIDE project). In the last stage of investigation and during the preparation of the publication, the authors were assisted by the postdoc D.B. with his own funding from project No. 1.1.1.2/VIAA/l/16/147 (…
Zasady doskonalenia jakości informacji w internetowych serwisach bibliotecznych
2017
Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie podstawowych zasad zarządzania jakością informacji oraz odpowiadających im mechanizmów, narzędzi i technik doskonalenia jakości informacji dla internetowych serwisów bibliotecznych. W artykule opisano cztery zasady zarządzania jakością informacji (zaproponowane przez M. J. Epplera) odniesione do dziedziny serwisów internetowych, w szczególności zaś wynikające z nich specyficzne dla tych serwisów działania, techniki i narzędzia umożliwiające poprawę jakości informacji. Przedstawione zasady to: zasada integracji, walidacji, kontekstualizacji oraz aktywacji. Zaprezentowane działania, techniki i narzędzia, które wynikają ze stosowania ogólnych zasad doskonalen…
Towards Successful Implementation of a Virtual Classroom for Vocational Higher Education in Indonesia
2019
The virtual classroom continues to grow, but it is becoming more and more the norm, and it is fundamentally different from the vocational students at the Indonesian university. With the promised benefits of the virtual classroom, many challenges and difficulties come in the implementation. Although there are already successful design principles for virtual classrooms that support organizations in overcoming the challenges, the approach to implementing the design principles of virtual classroom at the vocational higher education in Indonesia is still lacking. In this study, we aim to answer the research gap and used the design sciences research by interviewing the lecturers to design the sol…
Adaptive Stochastic Airline Seat Inventory Control under Parametric Uncertainty
2013
Airline seat inventory control is a very profitable tool in the airline industry. The problem of adaptive stochastic airline seat inventory control lies at the heart of airline revenue management. This problem concerns the allocation of the finite seat inventory to the stochastic customer demand that occurs over time before the flight is scheduled to depart. The objective is to find the right combination of customers of various fare classes on the flight such that revenue is maximized. In this paper, the static and dynamic policies of stochastic airline seat inventory control (airline booking) are developed under parametric uncertainty of underlying models, which are not necessarily alterna…
