    Shed Light on the Path of Human-Machine Interaction in Autonomous Vehicles: Where Did We Come from? Part II, Search Strategy, Findings and Perspectives

    No full text
    As vehicles have become more complicated, Human-Machine Interaction (HMI) is becoming crucial. Nowadays, HMI is a substantial element in autonomous vehicles (AVs). Numerous studies are lately being published regarding significant parameters of AVs which can affect HMI. Hence, it is imperative to have a comprehensive prospect, to improve people's acceptance of AVs. In AVs, the driver's role will change to a passenger, however, it can be switched in some special situations. This work is divided in two parts: the first study has mapped from 299 papers in this area and found the most impressive concerns of people in using AVs. Various researchers’ approach has shown a dramatic shift from physical parameters to psycho-emotional ones; as results, trust and comfort are ranked first and second in the reviewed articles, respectively. The second part is dedicated to the explanation of methodology, the synthesis of findings and the perspectives about the future scenarios. Key findings and some insightful observations on the future of this approach are discussed in this section of the article. As a conclusion, we developed a novel model named 3p consisting of personal, psycho-emotional, and physical parameters, which states the current trend of momentous features affecting HMI in AVs

    Unlock Your Trust: Experiencing a Biophilic Autonomous Driving Through Gamification

    This study looks at how integrating biophilic interventions into driverless cars can lower stress levels and increase passenger comfort and trust. Even though autonomous car usage is increasing, public trust in the technology is still low, which has an impact on consumers’ acceptance and desire to buy them. Utilizing virtual reality and a dynamic driving simulator, the research used biophilic treatments in an entertaining game. A total of thirty students took part, divided into two groups and given varying game lengths. The findings indicated that a five-minute game decreased stress by 36.5% and raised trust by 38.46%, while a shorter three-minute game considerably lowered stress by 50.96% and increased trust by 64.9%. Additionally, the group with less exposure reported feeling more at ease. The results show that stress and trust are positively impacted by biophilic encounters, implying that shorter, more immersive virtual reality experiences could more successfully increase comfort and trust. To further corroborate these results, larger sample numbers and objective data like HRV and EEG should be included in future studies

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Variations on the Author

    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Full text link
    We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Full text link
    We conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more sophisticated methods

    koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist

    No full text
    We have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
