헝가리의 반유대주의와 홀로코스트 기억 논쟁

Hungarians' perceptions and debates about the Holocaust show diversified aspects through the socialist period and the period after the transition of the socialist system. Hungarian victim consciousness, or collective perception, which can be called victimhood, lies at the base of Hungarian consciousness, and this consciousness is consumed for political purposes by Hungarian politicians and mass media. By combining the narrative of Hungarian alienation and loneliness with nationalism, the extreme logic advocated by the Hungarian far-right appeared. It is Hungarian nationalism that is used as a nutrient to lead this trend. However, in fact, Hungarian nationalism is also likely to be a fictional phenomenon. Nationalist tendencies in Hungary have grown stronger since the transition in 1989 and are still a highly favored political tool today. For this reason, the Jewish victims are regarded as a 'unitary group' and regarded by nationalist Hungarians as a 'common enemy'. Hungarian right-wing politicians are using this narrative to acquire and maintain power. After all, emphasizing the victimhood of Hungarians using nationalism, which is a very attractive tool for politicians, is a worrisome aspect in that it promotes the revival of the anti-Semitic movement and the fading and contempt of memories of the Holocaust.

Qué ves cuando las ves. Las mafias italianas en los paisajes lingüísticos de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires

In this article we question the visual references to the Italian mafias in the linguistic landscapes in the City of Buenos Aires, through a discursive and ethnographic approach. By analyzing the thematic, rhetorical and enunciative features deployed by the textual surfaces that circulate in public and/or virtual spaces, as well as some significant absences, we aim at problematizing the visual common sense that shapes our individual and collective perceptions on mafia. Due to the proliferation of those visualities and their tendency to spectacularization of the phenomenon of mafias, they would result in a «gaslighting» which tends to naturalize a poorly informed (if not openly biased) interpretation, which paradoxically hides more than what it shows.

Method for decomposition a global task into local tasks through the process of collective decision making in swarm robotic systems

Objective. The purpose of the work is to increase the efficiency of the process of task allocation through preliminary decomposition and prioritization of tasks based on the process of collective decision-making (CDM) in swarm robotic systems (SRS).Method. Task decomposition implemented using a hybrid decision-making strategy, the majority principle of changing opinions using distributed registry technology for disseminating opinions among SRS agents and aggregating accumulated knowledge about the functioning environment. An element of scientific novelty is the proposed SRS procedure, which provides the possibility of assessing the priority of tasks, which in turn improves the efficiency of the SRS agents.Result. Software implementation of the proposed method made in the C++ programming language. For the experiments, the scenario of collective perception by SRS agents in a specialized simulation environment ARGoS was used.Conclusion. The method implemented using the solutions proposed in the work turned out to be more efficient than the method based on the greedy algorithm. The proposed solutions can be used not only in SRS, but also in any other robotic systems with decentralized control, designed to monitor and control environmental parameters.

Temporal dynamics of justice climate and team innovation.

Team innovation-exploration and exploitation of useful and novel ideas by a team has been a topic of great importance for organizations in today's dynamic, complex, and competitive environment. Grounded in the social contagion theory of justice, we theorize a justice-to-innovation processual model based on within-team justice climate occurrences that change over time. We posit that collective and shared justice perceptions of team members construct dynamically based on justice-related work events. Within teams, state justice climate level and strength (represented by the Mean and the low-SD scores of individual team members in the moment or an episode) are important precursors of team innovation. The proposed theoretical model explicates an emotional contagion process arguing that positive and negative team affect states mediate the relationship between state justice climate and team innovation. Positive/negative team affect states result in collective actions and team interactions that foster/hinder team innovation. The present article significantly contributes to the development of the dynamical models of justice and innovation for teams where most research is confined to static models of justice climate.

Feature-Based Vehicle Identification Framework for Optimization of Collective Perception Messages in Vehicular Networks

The world is moving towards a fully connected digital world, where objects produce and consume data, at a sultry pace. Autonomous vehicles will play a key role in bolstering the digitization of the world. These connected vehicles must communicate timely data with their surrounding objects and road participants to fully and accurately understand their environments and eventually operate smoothly. As a result, the hugely exchanged data would scramble the network traffic that, at a given point, would no longer increase the awareness level of the vehicle. In this paper, we propose a vision-based approach to identify connected vehicles and use it to optimize the exchange of collective perception messages (CPMs), in terms of both the CPM generation frequency and the number of generated CPMs. To validate our proposed approach, we created a <sc xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">Cartery</small> framework that integrates SUMO, Carla, and OMNeT++. We also compared our solution with both baselines and European Telecommunications Standards Institute solutions, considering three main KPIs: the channel busy ratio, environmental awareness, and the CPM generation frequency. Simulation results show that our proposed solution exhibits the best trade-off between the network load and situational awareness.

Redundancy Mitigation Mechanism for Collective Perception in Connected and Autonomous Vehicles

Due to poor local range of the perception and object recognition mechanisms used by autonomous vehicles, incorrect decisions can be made, which can jeopardize a fully autonomous operation. A connected and autonomous vehicle should be able to combine its local perception with the perceptions of other vehicles to improve its capability to detect and predict obstacles. Such a collective perception system aims to expand the field of view of autonomous vehicles, augmenting their decision-making process, and as a consequence, increasing driving safety. Regardless of the benefits of a collective perception system, autonomous vehicles must intelligently select which data should be shared with who and when in order to conserve network resources and maintain the overall perception accuracy and time usefulness. In this context, the operational impact and benefits of a redundancy reduction mechanism for collective perception among connected autonomous vehicles are analyzed in this article. Therefore, we propose a reliable redundancy mitigation mechanism for collective perception services to reduce the transmission of inefficient messages, which is called VILE. Knowledge, selection, and perception are the three phases of the cooperative perception process developed in VILE. The results have shown that VILE is able to reduce it the absolute number of redundant objects of 75% and generated packets by up to 55%. Finally, we discuss possible research challenges and trends.

Why is bottom-up more acceptable than top-down? A study on collective psychological ownership and place-technology fit in the Irish Midlands

Previous research has shown that bottom-up governance approaches enjoy higher community acceptance than top-down approaches. However, it is unclear why this is the case. We investigated this in a survey-based field study in a community in the Irish Midlands that is transitioning away from fossil fuel-based (peat) based energy generation to a renewable energy system. Community members evaluated two scenarios that were part of the actual public debate, that is - a scenario proposed by the government and industry (a top-down scenario), and a scenario proposed by some local community members (a bottom-up scenario). The results showed that, compared to the top-down scenario, the bottom-up scenario was more acceptable, community members felt stronger collective psychological ownership over it, and it was perceived as more place-fitting. Mediation analysis confirmed that higher community acceptance of the bottom-up scenario compared to the top-down one was mediated by stronger feelings of collective psychological ownership and perceptions of place-technology fit community members had regarding the proposed bottom-up development than the top-down one. These results imply that community acceptance is higher under bottom-up governance approaches as they strengthen collective psychological ownership and perceptions of place-technology fit among communities where renewable energy projects are being developed.

Reducing Uncertainty in Collective Perception Using Self-Organizing Hierarchy

In collective perception, agents sample spatial data and use the samples to agree on some estimate. In this paper, we identify the sources of statistical uncertainty that occur in collective perception and note that improving the accuracy of fully decentralized approaches, beyond a certain threshold, might be intractable. We propose self-organizing hierarchy as an approach to improve accuracy in collective perception by reducing or eliminating some of the sources of uncertainty. Using self-organizing hierarchy, aspects of centralization and decentralization can be combined: robots can understand their relative positions system-wide and fuse their information at one point, without requiring, e.g., a fully connected or static communication network. In this way, multi-sensor fusion techniques that were designed for fully centralized systems can be applied to a self-organized system for the first time, without losing the key practical benefits of decentralization. We implement simple proof-of-concept fusion in a self-organizing hierarchy approach and test it against three fully decentralized benchmark approaches. We test the perceptual accuracy of the approaches for absolute conditions that are uniform time-invariant, time-varying, and spatially nonuniform with high heterogeneity, as well as the scalability and fault tolerance of their accuracy. We show that, under our tested conditions, the self-organizing hierarchy approach is generally more accurate, more consistent, and faster than the other approaches and also that its accuracy is more scalable and comparably fault-tolerant. Under spatially nonuniform conditions, our results indicate that the four approaches are comparable in terms of similarity to the reference samples. In future work, extending these results to additional methods, such as collective probability distribution fitting, is likely to be much more straightforward in the self-organizing hierarchy approach than in the decentralized approaches.

SECREDAS: Safe and (Cyber-) Secure Cooperative and Automated Mobility

Infrastructure-to-Vehicle (I2V) and Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) communication is likely to be a key-enabling technology for automated driving in the future. Using externally placed sensors, the digital infrastructure can support the vehicle in perceiving surroundings that would otherwise be difficult to perceive due to, for example, high traffic density or bad weather. Conversely, by communicating on-board vehicle measurements, the environment can more accurately be perceived in locations which are not (sufficiently) covered by digital infrastructure. The security of such communication channels is an important topic, since malicious information on these channels could potentially lead to a reduction in overall safety. Collective perception contributes to raising awareness levels and an improved traffic safety. In this work, a demonstrator is introduced, where a variety of novel techniques have been deployed to showcase an overall architecture for improving vehicle and vulnerable road user safety in a connected environment. The developed concepts have been deployed at the Automotive Campus intersection in Helmond (NL), in a field testing setting.

КОНЦЕПТУАЛЬНОЕ УПРАВЛЕНИЕ: КОГНИТИВНЫЕ ПРОЦЕССЫ, КОГНИТИВНЫЕ СТРУКТУРЫ, КОГНИТИВНЫЙ СТИЛЬ

The conceptualization of managerial activity is due to the complexity of the modern environment. The basic concepts of cognitive activity are considered: mental representations, cognitive processes, cognitive structures, cognitive style. It is shown that conceptual management is based on the concepts of "shared understanding" and "shared sensemaking", which are formed within the framework Managerial and Organizational Cognition as a model of collective perception and representation of the internal and external environment of the organization.

Collective emotions of the university staff in the context of digital learning

The paper examines the issues of solidarity among the university staff caused by the collective emotions associated with distance learning. It is proved that the collective emotions bring together and unite the university community. They become a lever of social development, a criterion and condition for collective dynamics as well as an indicator of social state of health of the university employees. The university staff tends to think that their colleagues are experiencing the same emotional states as themselves. Specific conclusions about emotion stability, positive and negative emotional states that affect social identity and collective perceptions of university employees who form social strategies of behavior are described by authors based on results of the empirical qualitative and quantitative analysis. On the basis of sociological research in the article proposes some principles of collective emotions in the digital learning conditions. The collective emotions largely determine the scenarios for the development of events in the framework of the daily interaction of the university stuff. Therefore, it shows how the introductions of digital learning led to the formation unite the university community.

The Identity of "Negeri Seribu Suluk" as the Government's Appreciation of Malay Culture in Riau

This article discusses how the background of a places’ identity is formed and how it affects it. The identity place describes the place of the reality in it, about how society and infrastructure are constructed. For example, the identity of Negeri Seribu Suluk is the identity of the Rokan Hulu regency, which was formed in 1999. Negeri Seribu Suluk is one of the government's appreciations for Malay culture. This study uses a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. The results show that the identity built is based on Malay culture, close to Islamic nuances. The effects can be seen from two elements, namely the identity of people's places: physical appearance, behaviour, attitudes, and feelings. The other element is the identity of an area: physical forms, symbolic forms, institutional forms, individual perceptions, and collective perceptions.

DOCUMENTARY DISCOURSE: COGNITIVE AND PHENOMENOLOGICAL REFLECTIONS ON MATTERS OF REMEMBERING AND AUDIO-VISUAL MEMORY

The article examines the ramifications of documentary discourse. The approach is formulated to give a voice to interdisciplinary research on documentary. The em- phasis on the close analysis of extracts and larger documentary entities will bring a new level to this meeting of various aspirations. It gives the possibility to create a heightened sensitivity of matters of analysis that covers similarities and differences, as well as causal and empirical reflections. The aim is to create a web of associations for these perspectives and perceive a wider approach on documentary in order to ar- gue that the meaningful appropriation of various tendencies in documentary studies requires sufficient correspondence and dialogical proneness for an understanding of the conceptual, formal and aesthetic legitimacy of this phenomenon. The essential part of the investigative strategy relies on cognitive mapping, which means a combination of individual and collective perceptions. Furthermore, cognitive mapping enables the viewer to practise distinct perceptual, phenomeno- logical and cognitive activities. It also features a methodical device that is related to a contemplative attitude towards the discourse of documentary, forming a relationship between the projected images and sounds and a mind that observes them. This leads to a method of aesthetic contemplation that is connected to a disciplinary logic of inscription which aims to produce insights and patterns of thought provoked by filmic affectations. In this article, the focus lies especially on questions of remember- ing and audio-visual representation of memory issues. The article features three film examples, which are Patricio Guzmán’s “Nostalgia for the Light” (Nostalgia de la luz, Chile, 2010), Pirjo Honkasalo’s “The 3 Rooms of Melancholia” (Melancholian 3 huonetta, Finland, 2004), and Chris Marker’s “Sunless” (Sans soleil, France, 1983). These films are cinematic re-meditations of past and present, and forms of audio-visual ethnography. The resulting inferences and elementary conclusions include that they aspire to demythologize the past, and bring forth a mode of representation, which features an elevated and sensory form of documentary discourse, connected with artistic signs of narrative, performative and aesthetic connotations.

A content analysis of 32 years of Shark Week documentaries.

Despite evidence of their importance to marine ecosystems, at least 32% of all chondrichthyan species are estimated or assessed as threatened with extinction. In addition to the logistical difficulties of effectively conserving wide-ranging marine species, shark conservation is believed to have been hindered in the past by public perceptions of sharks as dangerous to humans. Shark Week is a high-profile, international programming event that has potentially enormous influence on public perceptions of sharks, shark research, shark researchers, and shark conservation. However, Shark Week has received regular criticism for poor factual accuracy, fearmongering, bias, and inaccurate representations of science and scientists. This research analyzes the content and titles of Shark Week episodes across its entire 32 years of programming to determine if there are trends in species covered, research techniques featured, expert identity, conservation messaging, type of programming, and portrayal of sharks. We analyzed titles from 272 episodes (100%) of Shark Week programming and the content of all available (201; 73.9%) episodes. Our data demonstrate that the majority of episodes are not focused on shark bites, although such shows are common and many Shark Week programs frame sharks around fear, risk, and adrenaline. While criticisms of disproportionate attention to particular charismatic species (e.g. great whites, bull sharks, and tiger sharks) are accurate and supported by data, 79 shark species have been featured briefly at least once. Shark Week's depictions of research and of experts are biased towards a small set of (typically visual and expensive) research methodologies and (mostly white, mostly male) experts, including presentation of many white male non-scientists as scientific experts. While sharks are more often portrayed negatively than positively, limited conservation messaging does appear in 53% of episodes analyzed. Results suggest that as a whole, while Shark Week is likely contributing to the collective public perception of sharks as bad, even relatively small alterations to programming decisions could substantially improve the presentation of sharks and shark science and conservation issues.
