Rivers—mouths—tides—memories: a creative, inter-deep-mapping of two river/tidal places. Love of place, memory and affect; movements, patterns, marks, and practices of care
Get PDFThis article sets out the authors' attachments to, and memories of, two tidal river/channel landscapes and how these are being folded into collaborative work, which brings these places to attention through art practice and shared reflection. The rivers/channels in question are given voice in the introduction and ideas of the ecologies of mouths and river mouths, particularly those tidal, are explored in the following sections. Aspects of polyvocality and deep mapping are employed to reveal the unique characteristics of these places—particularly their tidal patterns and rhythms and our concerns for them. An art project, Tidal Timespace, lies at the heart of this article with the role of memories, shared memories, and our relationships to place as key themes. The descriptive accounts of the authors' respective place memories are set in the margins of the article in two columns. We conclude with considerations of expanded notions of ecology, and we add that loss of place, the passing of time, and wider senses of ecocide and extinction run like shadows through this narrative
Meta-hierarchical exercise
No full textThis was a new performance introduced at the Seoul Museum of Art (SeMA). It was a group performance advocating a set of objectives via audio visual and tactile means.
While understanding history as a legacy of patriarchal tradition that has lasted thousands of years, the performance attempts to investigate different ways of re-enacting history through non-linguistic and non chronological means. The performance devised by the artist becomes an agency practising various methods testing out non hierarchical and non patriarchal modes of expression.
Meta-hierarchical Exercise is a project initiated by Young In Hong's intercultural research in 2018 looking at French 68 revolution archives and the photo archives
Trust amongst refugees in resettlement settings: a systematic scoping review and thematic analysis of the literature
Get PDFTrust is of particular relevance to refugee populations, given the adverse, often protracted and liminal nature of the refugee journey. What trust means, how it shapes and is shaped by this journey, is crucially important for this population group and it can vary substantially. The extent, range and nature of research activity in this area are limited; this article therefore reports on a systematic scoping review that explored trust amongst refugees and asylum seekers in resettlement settings. Studies were included if they were primary research and explored trust amongst refugees and asylum seekers in a resettlement context and excluded if trust was not a major focus of the study (i.e. a number of studies were excluded that explored related concepts, such as social capital), if the study did not identify participants as refugees or asylum seekers or the study examined trust in a transitory setting. Following the application of inclusion and exclusion criteria, 24 studies remained, which were reviewed and analysed. Sixteen studies used qualitative methods, six used quantitative methods and one used mixed methods. Trust was presented as fundamentally relational, taking shape between and within refugees, asylum seekers and others. Trust was also presented as temporal and contextual, across refugee journeys, hardships experienced and resettlement. A major theme was the fundamental need in resettlement for a restoration of lost or damaged trust
Pandemics, policies and positionality: how COVID-19 makes the case for postdigital policy making in higher education
No full textAs the body of research into postdigital learning during the pandemic continues to grow, this chapter makes the case for new postdigital policy making approaches in universities. Building on previous critical research into the problematic linguistic construction of Higher Education (HE) policy discourse, where human activities in universities are attributed to technology, documents, phrases and frameworks, but not to staff or students, arguments are presented for radical change to the construction and articulation of HE policy. Drawing on examples from my book, Postdigital Positionality, which explores the disconnect between HE inclusivity policies and the widespread digitalisation of society, I call for fresh debate on university policy making reforms. These need to honestly reflect the diverse postdigital contexts of individuals in the HE community. We instantly flipped our educational activities in response to the pandemic, so why are we still leaving HE policy making untouched, as if nothing had changed
Transparency in persuasive technology, immersive technology, and online marketing: facilitating users’ informed decision making and practical implications
Get PDFIn the current age of emerging technologies and big data, transparency has become an important issue for technology users and online consumers. However, there is a lack of consensus on what constitutes transparency across domains of research, not to mention transparency guidelines for designers and marketers. In this review, we explored the question of what transparency means in current research and practices by reviewing the literature in three domains: persuasive technology, immersive technology and online marketing. Literature reviewed, including both empirical research and position articles, covered multidisciplinary areas including computer science and information technology, psychology, healthcare, human computer interaction, business and management, law and public health. In this paper, we summarized our findings through a framework of transparency and provided insights into the different aspects of transparency, categorized into ten themes (i.e., Organizational Transparency, Information Transparency, Transparency of System Design, Data Privacy and Informed Consent, Transparency of Online Advertising, Potential Risks, User Autonomy, Informed Decision Making, Information Visualization, Personalization and User-centered design) along three dimensions (i.e., Types of transparency, Impact on User and Potential Solutions). Addressing aspects of transparency will facilitate users’ autonomy and contribute to their informed decision making
Floccus [curator]
No full textStroudwater Textile Trust presents a new generation of knitwear/weave designers with ecological flourishings at the centre of their practice. Wool’s history in the Cotswolds is long, from powerful monasteries trading in wool futures to the industrial production capacities of the 19th century. In these post-industrial times where fibre and materials are critically examined for provenance, ecological and carbon footprint, wool is being addressed as an important fibre in developing localised and sustainable production and earth-friendly farming and production methods. Wool’s versatility enables both high technical production and handcrafting modes. Stroud Wool Week 2022 celebrates the qualities of wool focusing on sustainable textile production based on ecological care, design thinking, innovative handcraft and technical practices. The floccus exhibition emphasises the diversity of work from local and international talented graduating students and recently graduated practitioners at Bachelor and postgraduate levels
The evolution of primate short-term memory
Get PDFShort-term memory is implicated in a range of cognitive abilities and is critical for understanding primate
cognitive evolution. To investigate the effects of phylogeny, ecology and sociality on short-term memory, we tested the largest and most diverse primate sample to date (421 non-human primates across 41 species) in an experimental delayed-response task. Our results confirm previous findings that longer delays decrease memory performance across species and taxa. Our analyses demonstrate a considerable contribution of phylogeny over ecological and social factors on the distribution of short-term memory performance in primates; closely related species had more similar short-term memory abilities. Overall, individuals in the branch of Hominoidea performed better compared to Cercopithecoidea, who in turn performed above Platyrrhini and Strepsirrhini. Interdependencies between phylogeny and socioecology of a given species presented an obstacle to disentangling the effects of each of these factors on the evolution of shortterm memory capacity. However, this study offers an important step forward in understanding the interspecies and individual variation in short-term memory ability by providing the first phylogenetic reconstruction of this trait’s evolutionary history. The dataset constitutes a unique resource for studying the evolution of primate cognition and the
role of short-term memory in other cognitive abilities

Neural correlates of the inverse base rate effect
Get PDFThe inverse base rate effect (IBRE) is a nonrational behavioral phenomenon in predictive learning. Canonically, participants learn that the AB stimulus compound leads to one outcome and that AC leads to another outcome, with AB being presented three times as often as AC. When subsequently presented with BC, the outcome associated with AC is preferentially selected, in opposition to the underlying base rates of the outcomes. The current leading explanation is based on error-driven learning. A key component of this account is prediction error, a concept previously linked to a number of brain areas including the anterior cingulate, the striatum, and the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. The present work is the first fMRI study to directly examine the IBRE. Activations were noted in brain areas linked to prediction error, including the caudate body, the anterior cingulate, the ventromedial prefrontal cortex, and the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. Analyzing the difference in activations for singular key stimuli (B and C), as well as frequency matched controls, supports the predictions made by the error-driven learning account
