The Effect of Text-tracking Design on 4 th Graders’ Reading of e-Books

This study examined the impact of e-book text-tracking design on 4 th graders’ (ten-year-old children’s) learning of six major classes of nutrients . The e-books used in this study were created with Adobe Flash CS 5.5 and Action Script 3.0. This study was guided by two main questions: 1) Is there any difference in learning achievement ( recall and transfer ) between groups with different e-book text-tracking designs? 2) Is there any difference in learning motivation (attention, confidence and relevance) between groups with different e-book text-tracking designs? This study was an experimental design where the independent variable was text-tracking design for e-books: one was word-based tracking and the other was line-based tracking. A sample of thirty 4 th graders participated in the study and participants were randomly assigned into these two groups. They were asked to do a pre-test first, and then they read their assigned e-books for twenty minutes. After they finished reading, they were given a post-test and motivation survey. The result s showed that students in the line-based tracking design group performed better in recall scores and confidence . This study hoped to contribute to e-book design principles for young learners and serve as a reference for elementary school teachers and e-book publishers.

Machine Learning in a Humanoid Intelligent Service Robot

The service robot described herein is an engineering application combining mechanical technology and computer science. For service robots, intelligence is the core competence. The humanoid intelligent service robot developed at Chienkuo Technology University will possess five intelligent capabilities: marketing, advertisement, acceptance, guidance, and security. It must therefore be taught to obtain intelligence. The purpose of this research is to describe how an instructor teaches the humanoid intelligent service robot. First, according to the required basic action and distinct service script, the robot instructor demonstrates the basic human action. The digital 3D motion capture system captures these motions via video. The movements of the robot instructor's limbs and trunk will be digitized, encoded, and stored in the robot's intelligent computer memory. When service instructions activate the robot, it will replay the motions taught using 27 DC motors, 5 DC servo motors, and 10 solenoids.

Sum, quorum, tether

We outline three challenges involved in designing external representations that promote sustainable use of natural resources. First, the task environment of sustainable resource-use is highly unstructured, and involves many uncoordinated and asynchronous actions. Following from this complex nature of the task environment, more task constraints and task interactions are involved in designing representations promoting sustainability, compared to representations that seek to make tasks easier in structured task environments, such as aircraft cockpits and control rooms. Second, external representations promoting sustainable resource-use need to motivate people to make decisions that sustain resources, and persist with this behavior, even though alternate behaviors are easier and commonplace. Third, external representations promoting sustainability also need to lower the cognitive load involved in sustainability decisions. This three-tiered function (meeting complex task constraints, providing motivation, lowering cognitive load) makes such representations challenging to design. However, some early prototype designs promoting sustainable resource-use have appeared recently, primarily addressing electricity use. Analyzing these digital prototypes, we outline three design principles they share, and show how these seek to address the complexities of the sustainability problem-space (complexity of task environments, goals, and representations). We then argue that at least two further cognitive scaffolds are required for effectively promoting sustainable resource use (action scripts, deconstruction). We close with some of the limitations of this approach to promoting sustainability, and outline future work.

Empire to nationhood: heroism in natural disaster stories for children

PurposeNatural disaster stories narrate unsettling natural events and proffer scripts for social action in the face of unforeseen and overwhelming circumstances. The purpose of this study is to investigate stories of natural disasters recounted for New Zealand school children in the School Journal during its first 100 years of publication.Design/methodology/approachContent analysis is used to categorise the disaster event and to identify two distinct periods of disaster stories – imperial and national. Textual analysis of indicative stories from each period centres on the construction of social scripts for child readers.FindingsIn the imperial period tales of individual heroism and self‐sacrifice predominate, while the national period is characterised by stories of ordinary families, community solidarity and survival. Through this investigation of natural disaster stories for children, the paper identifies the shifting models of heroic identity offered to New Zealand children through educational texts.Originality/valueThis study adds to the existing literature on the School Journal and to the broader study of the history of imperialist and nationalist education in New Zealand. In these times of increased disaster awareness it also draws attention to the significance of disaster narratives in offering social scripts for children to draw on in the event of an actual disaster experience.

Finding Vulnerabilities in Rich Internet Applications (Flex/AS3) Using Static Techniques

The number and the importance of Rich Internet Applications (RIA) have increased rapidly over the last years. At the same time, the quantity and impact of security vulnerabilities in such rich internet applications (RIA) have increasing as well. Since manual code reviews are time consuming, error prone and costly and it need skilled developers or programmers to review the manual source code review, the need for automated solutions has become evident. In this paper, we address the problem of application security vulnerable detection in Adobe Flex (Rich Internet Applications) platform in web 2.0 applications by means of static source code analysis. To this end, we present precise analysis targeted at the unique reference semantics commonly found in RIA based web applications or widgets (small applications which will run on fly i.e. drag and drop) developed in Adobe Flex Framework or Action Script 3.0. Moreover, we enhance the quality and quantity of the generated vulnerability reports.

The Effect of a Working Memory Load on the Intention-Superiority Effect: Examining Three Features of Automaticity

Summary: The intention-superiority effect refers to the finding that intentions are more accessible than other memory contents. Our primary goal was to test for automatic processing in this effect, testing three features of automaticity: unintentionality, effortlessness, and lack of awareness. We used a postponed-intention paradigm with short action scripts. The intention-superiority effect was defined as greater accessibility in a lexical decision task (LDT) for words from to-be-performed scripts than to-beremembered scripts. Working memory load was experimentally manipulated to assess automatic processing. A general intentionsuperiority effect was found, demonstrating the automatic feature of unintentionality, and it was not diminished by a high load, demonstrating the automatic feature of effortlessness. Also, participants who reported that they lacked awareness of the link between the LDT and encoded scripts showed a larger intention-superiority effect than participants who were aware. Therefore, this study demonstrated an implicit intention-superiority effect, which was actually larger than the explicit effect. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. Consider the following common prospective memory scenario. During the work day, you form an intention to obtain something—such as cash from the cash machine—on your drive home. Although your attention is focused on other demanding tasks in the intervening period, when you later encounter a task-relevant cue (e.g. a bank), you retrieve the intention and successfully perform the task. In the current study, our purpose was to investigate one small piece of the prospective memory task, the representational state of intentions during the retention interval [i.e. after intention formation and before the performance interval (Ellis, 1996; Kliegel, Martin, McDaniel, & Einstein, 2002)]. More specifically, we investigated the intention-superiority effect (ISE), which refers to the finding that pending intentions to perform actions are more accessible than other memory contents (e.g. Goschke & Kuhl, 1993). This effect seems related to the Zeigarnik effect, the finding that participants have better recall for tasks that had been interrupted than for tasks that had been completed (e.g. Zeigarnik, 1939).

Reconsidering Culture and Homicide

This article fleshes out a perspective on culture and lethal violence using examples from two contexts where they are believed to be strongly linked: among rural southern Whites and urban Blacks. Concepts from the cultural paradigm which focuses on understanding how people use cultural resources instead of discerning the content of cultures are employed. Through the lenses of this alternative cultural paradigm, violence in these two settings is partly attributable to an abundance of strategies of action condoning the use of violence. Strategies of action pertinent to defensive or honor-based violence emerge where the law is unavailable and may be amplified by moderate or high levels of poverty. However, when socioeconomic disadvantage is so severe that there is widespread institutional breakdown, strategies of action promoting more predatory and instrumental forms of violence may also evolve. This is because mainstream institutions are a primary source of socialization where cultural tool kits containing strategies of action are expanded and diversified. When they are weak, socialization through street peer groups or illegal markets may be more pronounced, facilitating the contextual transference of violent scripts for action to situations other than those involving honor or character contests. Actors immersed in violent communities are not subsequently mired down in circumstances beyond their control. Through participation in violent activities, they can actively create and reinforce their own violent social environment.

The power of performance indices in the global politics of anti-corruption

While scholars have focused on the macro-structural, institutional and legal dimensions at work in international anti-corruption, they have paid little attention to role of the more specific technologies through which social forces become entangled in efforts at combating corruption internationally. Drawing on studies of organisation, surveillance and governmentality, this article examines the capacity of performance indices to construct comparable and governable subjects in international efforts to combat corruption. It conceptualises performance indices in terms of technologies of distance, communication and surveillance and analyses a variety of corruption and anti-corruption indices, including corporate blacklisting as applied by the World Bank towards fraudulent corporations. It demonstrates how performance indices are implicated in the construction of standards and scripts for action against corruption, pointing to their importance for the determination of what constitutes legitimate social practice. More generally, the paper contributes to the study of global governance literatures by highlighting how practices of calculation, measurement and comparison can play a distinctive role in the constitution of spaces of governance.

Physical Learning Activities with a Teaching Assistant Robot in Elementary School Music Class

Very recently, together with ICT (Information Communication and Technology) as teaching aids, the blended-learning combined with off-line education and e-learning has been administered. In the future, however, r-learning based on robots as teaching assistants will be employed to help students enhance their educational motivation and effects. Also, the teachers who have high- qualified capacity of ICT have also assumed robots as their assistants in the various fields such as music and language. Thus, many studies have investigated whether there are significant differences between the use of robots and other educational approaches in the field of education. However, there are few previous studies about whether robots would help music lessons or not in the field of music education. Therefore, the present study investigated whether Tiro, a teaching assistant robot, could help the Korean elementary school 4th-grade students learn six-eight time conduct in the music class. For treatments, teaching scenario for Tiro’s experimental lessons was designed. It consists of learning materials and class management services. Also, after the contents for flash-based multimedia robot were designed and developed, the final scenario for teaching assistant robot was created by adding robot action scripts in order to match the contents with robot action template. The contents of the assistant robot for music conduct lesson were downloaded by the wireless, and they were employed for this study. Data collected from Tiro’s experimental music lesson and the teacher’s assessment and feedback were analyzed and reported.

Schedule management of construction work is important in order to complete construction projects within a given period of time. As activities increase and relations become more complex, schedule management software becomes increasingly necessary. To address this, attempts are being made to incorporate web-based ICT (information and communications technology) in construction project management. This research proposed a method to manage construction schedules via web pages using Flash. The interactive and graphic property of Flash enables a field manager to manage schedules easily and efficiently. A prototype was implemented using Flash and Action Script, and it was applied to a sample network in a web page.

Induction as an institutionalized and institutionalizing practice

PurposeInduction and institutions may have followed the same tracks for a long period of time, but their interaction is scarcely analyzed. On the one hand, induction prepares newcomers to work in an organization that is completely new to them. On the other hand, institutions apparently need induction processes to maintain themselves in the same time they renew their members. The purpose of the present paper is to analyze induction as a practice, and to show how this practice turns itself into an institution, in spite of the embeddedness of action scripts into rational schemes.Design/methodology/approachThe paper introduces the case of a retail bank and a consulting company in France. Both have formalized induction systems, but they show enough differences to be considered as offering two complementary approaches of a same practice. The same method is applied to both fields. It consists of analyzing induction as an aggregate of ostensive (action scripts), performative (actions themselves) elements, and artefacts (material productions).FindingsThe successive steps of selections and integration of induction process appear as ways of testing the compatibility of newcomers with the immunity system of the organization. Moreover, throughout both case studies, the ostensive aspect of induction has remained stable for years, although markets and business models have changed a lot. Induction seems to be frozen as far as practicing (i.e. the implementation of action scripts) is concerned. The study of practising (i.e. the dialectic interaction of ostensive, performative elements, and artefacts) shows that constant and individually lead adaptive moves preserve the institutionalized practice without any shape of rigidity.Originality/valueStability vs change, uniformity vs diversity depends on the lens by which the paper it looks at practices. If it takes into consideration the ocean of actions that are performed day after day inside the firm, diversity and change appear. However, if it adopts a longer range look at what happens and correlate it to appropriate institutional factors, stability, and uniformity emerge from permanent change. That disqualifies both technocratic attempts to standardize performance from abstract patterns and naive designs of spontaneous emergence of “not embedded” behaviors.

When does the intention-superiority effect occur? Activation patterns before and after task completion, and moderating variables

This experiment investigated the intention-superiority effect, potential moderators of the effect, including personality disposition (i.e., state vs. action orientation) and cue source (self vs. experimenter), and the fate of the effect after performance. The intention-superiority effect was defined as greater accessibility for intention-related words than words to be remembered. Accessibility was assessed with lexical decision latencies for words from short action scripts, and activation patterns were measured before and after scripts were performed. A general preperformance intention-superiority effect was replicated, but this effect depended on a personality disposition by cue interaction. For the state-oriented group, the effect occurred when participants expected performance to be self cued, but not experimenter cued. For the action-oriented group, the effect occurred when participants expected performance to be experimenter cued, but not self cued. After script performance, a sustained intention-superiority effect was found. Possible reasons for the differences in results found in this study and past studies are discussed.

Selection-based virtual keyboard prototypes and data collection application

An emerging area of research in engineering psychology is the evaluation of text entry for mobile devices using a small number of keys for the control of cursor direction and character selection from a matrix of characters (i.e., selection-based data entry). The present article describes a software tool designed to reduce time and effort in the development of prototypes of alternative selection-based text-entry schemes and their empirical evaluation. The tool, available for distribution to researchers, educators, and students, uses Action Script code compiled into an executable file that has an embedded Adobe Flash Player and is compatible with most operating systems (including Microsoft Windows, Apple OSX, and Linux).

플래시 환경에서 래스터 지도를 기반으로 한 반경 검색 시스템 개발

본 논문에서는 현재 사용자 위치를 중심으로 임의의 반경 임계값을 설정하고, 이로부터 최종 목적지를 자동으로 찾기 위한 생활 지리정보시스템을 기술한다. 기존의 지리정보시스템을 기반으로 한 여러 가지 정보시스템들은 목적지가 명확하지 않을 경우 검색이 어렵다는 단점과 특정 업무 지원을 목적으로 하기 때문에 복잡한 구성과 대량의 정보로 처리 시간 지연이라는 비효율성을 지니고 있다. 그러므로 본 논문은 이러한 문제점들을 개선하여 플래시 환경에서 일반사용자 중심의 맞춤형 생활 지리정보시스템을 제안한다. 맞춤형 생활 지리정보시스템은 현재 위치로부터 원하는 반경 내에서 조건에 맞는 목적지들을 검색하여 세부사항을 확인하고 적합한 최종 목적지를 사용자가 쉽게 찾을 수 있도록 하는 것이다. 대단위를 표본으로 한 본 논문의 결과는 보다 더 다양한 생활정보시스템으로의 확대 발전 가능성을 기대할 수 있을 것이다. This paper describes the life GIS(Geographic Information System) system that enables users to look up the final destination on a map automatically by setting up a random radius of threshold under the present user position. Various information systems based on the existing GIS have disadvantage that a search is difficult when the destination location is not clear. And it is inefficient that the processing time is delay due to a complex configuration and large amount of informations based on the target of special business supports. Therefore, this paper improves these problems and proposes the customized life GIS which is for the general user in the Flash(Action Script) environment. The customized life GIS confirms the detail items from search results, which is destinations fitting for a condition in the suitable radius of threshold from the present user position. And the user can look up the suitable final destination on a map easily using the customized information system. The result of this paper, which is based on the sample of the large unit locations, will be expected to be able to guide more detail, extensive and various informations.

ACTIVATION AND DEACTIVATION PROCESSES IN THE POSTPONED INTENTION PARADIGM

This study analyzes the intention superiority effect (ISE). The ISE (Goschke & Kuhl, 1993) is defined as faster access time to the contents related to information learned as a part of a to-be-executed task (prospective memory) than to information learned not as a part of a to-be executed task (neutral contents). The experiment is a replica of the ISE using the Goschke and Kuhl procedure. The ISE was replicated in the measure prior to the execution of the action. Furthermore, the ISE disappeared after the execution of the intention. The intention superiority effect (ISE) is described as the persisting activation that the representation of an intention has in declarative memory in the retention period of an intention (Goschke & Kuhl, 1993). According to this proposal, the representation of an intentional activity is characterized by a higher or more sustained level of activation in the memory as compared to the representation of a similar non-intentional activity. To analyse the ISE, Goschke & Kuhl (1993) designed the delayed intention paradigm. The experimental condition was one in which the participants learned pairs of scripts representative of the two common tasks in everyday life (i.e. clear a desk). The participants were then instructed to later perform one of the scripts (intentional script). The other script becomes neutral. Prior to the retrieval and execution of intentional script, the explicit access to the contents of both scripts was measured. Goschke & Kuhl (1993) found that the latencies in recognising the words related to a later to-be-executed action script (prospective script) were faster compared to words from a not to-be-executed action script (neutral script). The results were interpreted in relation to the intrinsic property of intentions to decline more slowly in the declarative memory than the representation of non-intentional activity. The study by Goschke and Kuhl has had a great impact in recent years and has been extensively cited (see review in Brandimonte, Einstein & McDaniel, 1996). Different studies have appeared which have addressed the phenomenon (i.e., Dockree and Ellis, 2001; Freeman & Ellis, 2003; Marsh, Hicks, & Bink, 1998; Maylor, Darby, & Della Sala, 2000).
