Gender perspectives on torture: law and practice
No full textThe present volume is a compilation of articles and essays submitted by global experts, activists, scholars, and practitioners, invited to reflect and expound upon various areas of the Special Rapporteur’s report, its recommendations, and on the diverse contexts women, girls, and LGBTI persons experience violence, often in the form of torture and other ill-treatment.Gender Perspectives on Torture: Law and Practice is a follow-up to the report of the former Special Rapporteur on Torture Juan E. Mendez presented to the United Nations Human Rights Council (HRC) in March 2016. The report assessed the applicability of the prohibition of torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment in international law to the unique experiences of women, girls, and lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender and intersex persons; as historically, the torture and ill-treatment framework evolved largely in response to practices and situations that disproportionately affected men

Color illusion as a spatial binding problem
No full textCurrent Opinion in Behavioral Sciences, Volume 30, December 2019, Pages 149-155.Illusions are often considered to be a misperception of the physical world. We present a different framework for illusions: in non-illusory conditions, healthy brains construct a single, consistent representation from the physiological processes that encode the world; illusions, in contrast, are conditions where the brain constructs conflicting representations of the world. We contend that the conditions for illusions often arise for color vision because of the multifaceted aspects of color in relation to space, and that many color illusions arise from the juxtaposition and selective recombination (i.e. the binding) of these aspects of color/spatial information. We discuss three spatial aspects of color: modes of appearance, color versus color contrast, and information at different spatial scales

Increasing team ideation by sequencing the task type and content
No full textDesign Studies, Volume 70, September 2020, Article number 100947.While ideation is accepted as integral to the design process, the methods for facilitating ideation within teams are not as well understood. We propose and test the usefulness of sequencing variations in task type and content to facilitate team ideation in a team creativity task. In a repeated measures design we assessed team ideation (96 teams) before and after exposure to one of three randomized variations in sequences of task type and content. After this intervention, teams exposed to tasks that were dissimilar in content or type experienced the highest increase in variety of ideas produced. Our results are relevant for practice as they suggest that structuring team tasks to alternate content may help to improve team creativity
