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
Byrne Stanton letter to A.B. Stanson, January 16, 1904
No full textLetter from Byrne Stanton of Cincinnati, son of Dr. Benjamin Stanton of Salem, Ohio, to A. B. Stanson at the Periodical Division of the Library of Congress, in response to Stanson's recent inquiry concerning Lundy's anti-slavery periodicals. The letter details Lundy's publishing history and involvement in the abolitionist movement, leading up to his publication of the Genius of Universal Emancipation in 1821. A. B. Stanson, it seems, has been interested in acquiring a complete collection of the papers for the Library of Congress. Benjamin Lundy (1789-1839) was a prominent Quaker abolitionist best known for his development of abolitionist periodicals. His Genius of Universal Emancipation was first published in 1821 from his home in Mt. Pleasant, Ohio, and enjoyed a wide circulation across the antebellum United States. In the 1820s, the young William Lloyd Garrison came to work for The Genius. Benjamin Lundy traveled widely seeking subscriptions to The Genius, giving talks about the anti-slavery movement, and observing and documenting the conditions of enslaved people across the Americas. He was also involved in the establishment of freed slave colonies in Mexico
Rosemary Stanton on ethical eating
No full textThere once was a time when what to have for dinner was a simple choice, decided by cost and availability. But no longer. In a world with increasingly diminishing resources, eating is now complicated by a range of social, environmental and agricultural concerns. Choosing our food is getting confusing, but here, talking at UTS in Sydney, nutritionist Rosemary Stanton gives some practical advice on ethical eating. She is joined by researcher Dana Cordell, who\u27s been studying the environmental implications of the decreasing supply of phosperous in Australia and the world. The event is chaired by Prof. Stuart White from UTS\u27s Institute for Sustainable Futures, and presented as part of the UTSpeaks Series.
Professor Stuart White has been researching sustainability for the last twenty years. In 1998 he was a member of the NSW Task Force on Water Conservation.

Efficacy of a map on search, orientation and access behaviour in a hypermedia system
No full textMany researchers have proposed hypertext and hypermedia as superior learning environments over traditional linear-based approaches. At the same time, reports of disorientation amongst students working in these environments has become a topic of major concern. The study reported in this paper sets out to investigate the efficacy of the provision of maps on students' ability to search, orientation and access information in a hypertext-based learning task. The domain used required students to learn about the theory of tectonic plates. The results indicate that the greater use of maps led to less relevant searching behaviour and less effective search effort. In conclusion, it is argued that the concept of the spatial metaphor has not served the designers and students of hypertext and hypermedia environments well. Further, it is proposed that designers of non-linear learning environments would be better served by concentrating on the fundamental usability of their systems rather than attempting to introduce navigational aids, which themselves are a symptom of poor design

Lincoln’s Autocrat: The Life of Edwin Stanton.
No full textCivil War scholar William Marvel has authored a lengthy and extensive biography of Lincoln’s shrewd and fl amboyant secretary of war. Chronologically and topically arranged, this meticulously researched work, which is the first study to appear about Stanton in over fi fty-three years, depicts him as an aggressive, erudite, and imperious lawyer. Marvel also shows that Stanton developed effective leadership skills during the presidency of the Pennsylvanian James Buchanan.

Psychological constructs in driving automation: a consensus model and critical comment on construct proliferation
No full textAs automation in vehicles becomes more prevalent, the call for understanding the behaviour of the driver while driving an automated vehicle becomes more salient. Although a variety of driver behaviour models exist, and various psychological constructs have been said to be influenced by automation, an empirically testable psychological model of automated driving has yet to be developed. Building upon Stanton and Young's model of driving automation, this article presents an updated model of interrelated psychological constructs. The proposed model was created based upon a systematic literature search of driving automation papers and a subsequent quantification of the number of reported links between a selected set of psychological constructs. A secondary aim of this article is to reach consensus in the use of psychological constructs regarding driving automation. Henceforth special attention is paid to resolving the issue of construct proliferation
