Is utility in the mind of the beholder? A review of ergonomics methods
No full textThis paper reviews the use of ergonomics methods in the context of usability of consumer products. A review of the literature indicated that there is upward of 60 methods available to the ergonomist. The results of the survey indicated that questionnaires, interviews and observation are the most frequently reported methods used. Ease of use of the methods was dependent upon type of method used, presence of software support and type of training received. Strong links were found between questionnaires and interviews as a combined approach, as well as with HTA and observation. However, a questionnaire survey of professional ergonomists found that none of the respondents had any documented evidence of the reliability and validity of the methods they were using. A study of training people to use ergonomics' methods indicated the different requirements of the approaches, in terms of training time, application time and subjective preferences. An important goal for future research is to establish the reliability and validity of ergonomics methods
The political psychology of perceptions of Latino voters and of Latino politicians
No full textIn my dissertation, I examined how the American public perceives Latino citizens and Latino representatives, particularly with respect to perceptions of political ideology. Political scientists have made great strides with regard to the consequences of race in American politics, and my dissertation tests whether ethnicity is similarly consequential. My focus on political ideology explores the more subtle ways in which prejudice can manifest itself in perceptions of ideological distance, and can create hurdles for descriptive Latino representation. I make use of original, experimental, observational, and survey data to examine the pliability of citizens' perceptions of Latino group ideology, the accuracy of citizens' perceptions of their Latino representative's political ideology, and to examine whether race and ethnicity influence perceptions of candidate political ideology in low-information environments.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'Closed Access', the embargo will last until 2019-12-01The student, Audrey Neville, accepted the attached license on 2017-08-24 at 15:46.The student, Audrey Neville, submitted this Dissertation for approval on 2017-08-24 at 16:35.This Dissertation was approved for publication on 2017-08-25 at 16:39.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #11613 on 2018-03-13 at 10:32:19Made available in DSpace on 2018-03-13T17:29:00Z (GMT).

Pandemic Genres
No full textAs HIV/AIDS emerged as a public health crisis across sub-Saharan Africa, it became the subject of international interest that was at once prurient, benevolent, and interventionist. Meanwhile, the experience of living with HIV/AIDS became an object of aesthetic representation in multiple genres produced by Africans themselves. In Pandemic Genres, Neville Hoad investigates how cultural production—novels, poems, films—around the pandemic engaged public discourse. He shows that the long historical imaginaries of race, empire, and sex in Botswana, Kenya, and South Africa underwrote all attempts to bring the pandemic into public representation. Attention to genres that stage themselves as imaginary may forecast new possibilities. “Unique and genre-busting, Pandemic Genres takes as foundational the importance of colonialism to intimacy and health, cleverly traversing a vast terrain that spans mining, state biometrics, beauty contests, American AIDS interventions, and South African AIDS denialism.” — Mark Hunter, author of Race for Education “Shows us vividly that pandemics are not created in a vacuum but are anticipated and constructed in ways that solidify those uneven geographies of power that govern our world system. In times of pandemics, the consequences of this unevenness are laid bare.” — Kwame Edwin Otu, author of Amphibious Subjects “Unavoidably interdisciplinary and unapologetically intimate, these reflections move beyond HIV/AIDS to illuminate how to unravel the connection between genres and any pandemics.” — Naminata Diabate, author of Naked Agency “Eschewing a conventional survey of the literature of AIDS, Neville Hoad instead offers an original and deeply moving take on the poetics of documentary genres and the integral place of imagination and affect in political life.” — Ann Cvetkovich, author of Depressio
Visual Attention of Pedestrians in Traffic Scenes: A Crowdsourcing Experiment
No full textIn a crowdsourced experiment, the effects of distance and type of the approaching vehicle, traffic density, and visual clutter on pedestrians’ attention distribution were explored. 966 participants viewed 107 images of diverse traffic scenes for durations between 100 and 4000 ms. Participants’ eye-gaze data were collected using the TurkEyes method. The method involved briefly showing codecharts after each image and asking the participants to type the code they saw last. The results indicate that automated vehicles were more often glanced at than manual vehicles. Measuring eye gaze without an eye tracker is promising.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository 'You share, we take care!' - Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Human-Robot InteractionMedical Instruments & Bio-Inspired Technolog
Conceptual testing of visual HMIs for merging of trucks
No full textMerging sections are challenging for drivers of heavy goods vehicles. Visual support for merging was evaluated in a simulator. Experiment 1 tested HMIs that provided participants (n = 5) driving on the on-ramp with a top view or various forms of speed advice for accelerating behind or in front of a truck platoon on the freeway. Experiment 2 tested HMIs that provided drivers (n = 18) on the acceleration lane with a top view complemented with speed and gap advice for finding a gap to merge in. Experiment 1 showed that speed advice yielded less unnecessary braking compared to unsupported driving. In Experiment 2, speed advice yielded low satisfaction ratings. Our results highlight the potential of visual support and stress the importance of not visually overloading the driver.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Human-Robot InteractionIntelligent Vehicle
