Enhancing User Experience in Autonomous Driving Levels 4 and Above: A Novel Seat Concept for Motion Sickness Mitigation.
No full textThe rapid advancement of technology, particularly in autonomous driving, has brought about a profound transformation in the automotive industry. This paper introduces a research-driven strategy aimed at tackling emerging challenges related to non-driving activities in autonomous vehicles, with a specific focus on mitigating motion sickness. Recognizing the growing prevalence of light usage in the cockpit and the expected rise in non-driving engagements, this study underscores the urgent necessity for innovative solutions. Through comprehensive research on future mobility trends, levels of driving automation, and user experiences, this paper proposes a novel automotive seat concept tailored to alleviate motion sickness arising from increased non-driving activities in autonomous vehicles.
The proposed seat design features a wrap-around structure to facilitate enhanced privacy and flexibility in both personal and group activities. A key component of this solution is the Anti-motion Sickness Light Warning System, strategically integrated into the seat’s backrest. Leveraging ISELED
technology, this system offers real-time synchronization with autonomous driving systems, issuing light warnings to passengers prior to unexpected movements, thereby minimizing the likelihood of motion sickness. While demonstrating promising outcomes, the paper acknowledges certain limitations. These include the necessity for further exploration of interactive elements within the seat design, research to exploit the potential of advanced lighting effects using ISELED technology and ergonomic considerations for the seat itself. By shedding light on the impact of autonomous driving on user experiences, this study contributes to the ongoing discourse and underscores the pivotal role of technology in shaping the future of automotive design
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Dialogue of Cultures in the Work of the Chinese Painter Jin Shangyi
No full textЛю Тяньцюань – Представитель в России Института национального искусства и культурной политики КНР при CAFA, e-mail: [email protected]. Tianquan Liu – Representative in Russia of Institute of National Arts and Cultural Policy (CAFA) (Chi-na), e-mail: [email protected]В статье рассматривается творчество китайского художника Цзинь Шаньи (р. 1934) – одного из родоначальников масляной живописи в Китае. Творческие эксперименты мастера, знание европейских традиций в области изобразительного искусства, а также освоение русской художественной школы вписали имя Цзинь Шаньи в галерею лучших художников современного Китая. В статье рассматриваются основные направления творчества мастера, упоминаются самые яркие работы в его художественном наследии, анализируются этапы развития таланта. Важным аспектом изучения творчества художника является обращение к его литературным записям, направленным на анализ творческих задач, которые ставил перед собой Цзинь Шаньи. Изучая язык масляной живописи, активно внедряя данную технику в художественное образование своей страны, Цзинь Шаньи сумел рационально переосмыслить и выделить самое ценное в западноевропейской реалистической системе, в российском реализме и западноевропейском модернизме. Важнейший итог его творчества со-стоит в том, что он постоянно находился в диалоге с национальными традициями Китая. Его собственные художественные исследования привели к появлению нового стиля «неоклассики», который в дальнейшем приобрел широкую популярность в живописном искусстве Китая. This article examines the work of the Chinese artist Jin Shangyi, one of the pioneers of oil painting in China. The creative experiments of the artist, his knowledge of European traditions in fine arts, and his assimilation of the Russian art school added the name of Jin Shangyi to the gallery of the best artists of modern China. This article considers the main domain of the artist’s work, mentions the most striking works in his artistic legacy, and analyzes the stages of his development. An important aspect in studying the artist’s work is an appeal to his literary notes, to analyze the creative goals that Jin Shangyi set himself. Through studying the tech-nique of oil painting, and actively introducing this technique into the art education of China, Jin Shanyi was able to rationally rethink and highlight the most valuable parts in the Western European realist genre, Russian realism, and Western European modernism. The most important out-come of his work is that he was constantly in dialogue with the national traditions of China. His own artistic explorations led to the emergence of a new style of «neoclassicism», which subsequently gained wide popularity in the pictorial art of China
Variations on the Author
Full text link“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 linkWe 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 linkWe 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 textWe 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
