Associative cultural landscape approach to interpreting traditional ecological wisdom: A case of Inuit habitat

Global climate change and the accelerated melting of glaciers have raised concerns about the ability to manage ice-snow environments. Historically, human ancestors have mastered the ecological wisdom of working with ice-snow environments, but the phenomenon has not yet been articulated in cultural landscape methodologies that emphasize “nature-culture relevance”. The challenging living environment often compels indigenous people to form a strong bond with their surroundings, leading to the creation of long-term ecological wisdom through synergistic relationships with the environment. This ecological environment is conceptualized as a cognitive space in the form of the landscape, with which the aboriginal community norms and individual spirits continually interact. Such interactions generate numerous non-material cultural evidences, such as culture, art, religion, and other ideological aspects of the nation. These evidences symbolize the intellectual outcome of the relationship between humans and the landscape, and they create the “spiritual relevance” through personification and contextualization. The aim of the study is to explore the traditional ecological wisdom of the Inuit people who live in the harsh Arctic, and analyze the Inuit's interaction with the landscape through the lens of “associative cultural landscape”, and decode the survival experience that the Inuit have accumulated through their long-term synergy with the Arctic environment. The findings focus on the synergy between the Inuit and the ice-snow landscape, examining the knowledge and ecological wisdom that the Inuit acquire from the ice-snow landscape. Our goal is to develop a perspective of the ecological environment from the viewpoint of aboriginal people and establish a methodology, model, and framework for “associative cultural landscape” that incorporates ethnic non-material cultural evidences. From the results, a total of nine models for interpreting traditional Inuit ecological wisdom are generated based on the “diamond model” of “associative cultural landscape”, covering the transition from the physical landscape to a spiritual one and demonstrating the associative role of the landscape in stimulating potential spiritual cognitive abilities in humans.

APCs in a diamond wonderland

The economy of open access (OA) publishing has been a topic of intensive research over the last two decades. Dichotomies between the so-called 'green' and 'gold' models, or between fee-based and non-fee-based gold models, the latter known as the diamond model, have been addressed from diverse perspectives. However, some critical insights that would enable a thorough understanding of publishers’ and editors’ decision-making and provide a foundation for developing future evidence-based public policies are still missing.In recent years, more importance has been given to the diamond OA model, and the European research area has recognized its potential to bring change and possibly transform the scholarly publishing landscape. The 2021 EC-funded OA Diamond Journals Study (Bosman et al., 2021) reveals that while Europe is rich in OA Diamond journals, they are far from all being included in the DOAJ, nor are they equally distributed across scholarly disciplines and European regions. The study indicates the dominance of large commercial and APC-based publishers in Western Europe contrasted to the prevalence of smaller, diamond OA publishers in Central and Eastern Europe. Yet, subsequent research by Laakso and Multas (2023) shows that such a distribution across European regions could oversimplify a more diverse landscape. Their bibliometric-based analysis indicates that within regions, countries can vary significantly in their publishing ecosystems, based on several factors: the type (and size) of dominant publishers, the availability of country-level public funding mechanisms for scholarly journals, and the availability of common publishing infrastructures. There are examples of countries from different European regions that appear to be successful in building a thriving and sustainable national diamond publishing ecosystem. However, some publishers adopt an APC-based business model even in such predominantly diamond ecosystems. Our study will be twofold: a comparative investigation will establish the share of APC journals in several dominantly diamond countries: Croatia, Finland, France, Norway, Serbia, and Spain. Although limited in geographical scope, the intended sample will strive for complete coverage of OA journals: authors from each country will provide comprehensive national addenda to DOAJ lists. The publicly available information on the websites of all identified OA journals issued by the publishers located in the countries mentioned above will be inspected for evidence of APC schemes (any fees or charges required of authors or their institutions for submitting or publishing a paper in a journal). The study will address the following research questions: 1. What is the share of journals charging APCs at the time of research (among all OA journals in the country, and especially among journals receiving public subsidies, if there are such subsidies available)?; 2. What is the range, median and mode of APC costs?; 3. Is the existence of APCs and their cost related to the type of a journal publisher or owner, the scholarly discipline, or the fact that the journal is indexed inestablished international indices and databases?The insight into the incidence of APC-based journals and the context in which they are introduced will be complemented with a qualitative analysis of APC descriptions. This is expected to reveal some of the reasons for their introduction and possibly show that smaller publishers could resort to some local and nonstandard mechanisms. It will answer additional research questions: 4. Are there any specificities of the APC mechanisms among the analysed journals (waivers, discounts, membership fees, etc.)?, and 5. How transparent are journals about their APCs? (What are the terms used for APCs in different languages? Are they listed in their DOAJ records? Is it explained what they are charged for and how the funds are used?).The results are expected to deepen the existing knowledge about the diversity and sustainability of OA ecosystems.

Better spiritual support for people living with early stage dementia: Developing the diamond conversation model.

People with early-stage dementia could benefit greatly from on-going spiritual support. However, health care professionals working in dementia care often do not have a clear idea of what such support might entail. There is a lack of tools that can help professionals provide such support. The Diamond conversation model used in palliative care could provide such a support. Aims: To develop the Diamond model for early-stage dementia so that professionals can provide better spiritual support. Participatory research was conducted. Reflective interviews with chaplains, case managers and health psychologists identified frequently occurring existential and spiritual issues of clients and family members. A core participatory group consisting of chaplains, a psychologist and a researcher further analysed these issues thematically and co-developed the Diamond model for early stage dementia over three co-creation sessions. Researchers with Diamond model expertise provided feedback to the core participatory group in between these sessions based on the session output. Central existential and spiritual issues were found to be: self-confidence and -worth, adaptability and capacity, security and loss, burden and enrichment of memory and faith and meaning. The five polarities of the Diamond model were found helpful to understand tensions surrounding these issues. Specific tensions were identified between maintaining a self and being valued, finding direction in what to do and a way to bear changes in ability, a strong need for attachment and letting go of past ways to relate to one another, the renewed intensity of long term memories and decline of the short term ones and surrendering to one's life situation and wanting certainty and meaning. The newly developed Diamond model for people with early-stage dementia offers a valuable framework to help professionals provide conversational support. More research needs to be done to further test and develop the model in practice.

Creating an Intercultural User-Centric Design for a Digital Sexual Health Education App for Young Women in Resource-Poor Regions of Kenya: Qualitative Self-Extended Double Diamond Model for Requirements Engineering Analysis

Background The stigmatization around sexual health due to culture, religious traditions, and norms leads to myths and a lack of available information and resources related to universal access to sexual and reproductive health services. Additional sexual health education not being part of the Kenya school curriculum leads to insufficient access to knowledge about safe contraception, menstruation, and female genital mutilation. A digital app could support and provide education and information for universal equal access, addressing United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 3, 4, and 5. Objective The study targeted the requirements for establishing a reusable framework to develop a successful accessible web-based sexual health education app and the behavioral intention to use it to obtain sexual health information by mainly young women in Kenya. Methods The double diamond model, with a problem room including the discover and define phases, enriched with cultural aspects and modeled to a self-expanded intercultural research model was used in a user-centered design thinking approach to develop a framework for requirements engineering analysis. For problem identification, semistructured pilot phase interviews based on Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research guidelines were conducted, followed by expert interviews for qualitative content analysis. A sample size of 12 pilot phase interviews and 5 expert interviews was determined using data saturation. The responses were coded and analyzed according to the affinity mapping method. Results The requirements engineering analysis showed potential enablers of and barriers to the use of a digital sexual health education app. Through this qualitative study, a conservative cultural background, classic text communication, and the influence of social affiliation within society were identified as barriers, which should be enhanced through visual and auditory channels as well as a fictional character in the app. Conclusions The developed intercultural research model provides an impetus to providing digital sexual health education, integrating culture-specific aspects in the design process, while focusing on cultural and religious stigmata. The reusable framework enables identifying and overcoming hurdles in providing information about taboo and intimate topics. The overall use of online education tools focusing on intimate topics is correlated with accessibility and understanding specific cultural needs while delivering content on a basic and comprehensive level. It helps the target user from a social conservative background and in resource-poor circumstances to benefit from a digital educational solution.

HUMAN-COMPUTER INTERACTION: ENHANCING USER EXPERIENCE IN INTERACTIVE SYSTEMS

In this research, we investigate how human-computer interaction (HCI) can be used to improve the user experience (UX) of interactive systems. Studies in cognitive psychology, information processing, and human factors are examined as they relate to the development of HCI. It highlights how HCI has shifted its focus from functionality to user-friendliness, teaching ability, efficiency, enjoyment, and emotion. To better understand the current state of HCI and UX research, practice, and theory, a systematic literature study is performed. Focusing on users' goals wants, and characteristics at every stage of the design process is central to user-centered design (UCD) ideas and approaches, which are discussed at length in this article. We investigate usability testing as a crucial technique for bettering HCI, focusing on its advantages in pinpointing usability problems, boosting system efficacy, and boosting user pleasure. Methods for creating tests, finding participants, collecting data, and analyzing results are discussed. The importance of prototype methods in HCI and user-centric design is also emphasized in the study. This article delves into the practice of creating prototypes to collect user feedback, iterate designs, and perfect interactive systems. Techniques covered include paper prototyping, interactive wireframes, and high-fidelity prototypes. We propose interaction design frameworks like the User-Centered Design Process (UCDP) and the Double Diamond model to help designers prioritize users when developing interactive systems. The study also delves into how technologies like augmented reality, virtual reality, natural language processing, machine learning, and gesture-based interfaces have revolutionized HCI in recent years. The paper defends user-centric design's place in HCI, pointing out how UX affects user happiness, participation, and output. Researchers and practitioners in HCI and software engineering can greatly benefit from this paper's findings.

Analysis and Research on Influencing Factors of Entrepreneurial Team Competition among College Students

Innovation and entrepreneurship is a hot topic nowadays, and how to maintain and improve the competitive advantage of college students' entrepreneurial teams in the competitive environment and form a strong competitive edge is a topic that can be discussed and studied. This paper introduces Porter's "Diamond Model" theory to analyze the success of college students' entrepreneurial team, which is very meaningful, and examines four factors, such as resources related to the entrepreneurial team, support from on-campus and off-campus entrepreneurial platforms, product or service demand, strategic planning, and competitor analysis, and two factors, such as opportunities and government policies to support entrepreneurship. In this study, we examine how college students' entrepreneurial teams can form differentiated competitiveness and promote their long-term development under the conditions of the interaction of six elements.

The Micro-Flow Mechanism of Polymer Flooding in Dual Heterogeneous Reservoirs Considering the Wettability.

There have been some studies conducted about the single factor viscoelasticity of polymer solution or wettability effect on the micro-flow mechanism of polymer flooding. In this paper, the flow mechanism of polymer solution in dual heterogeneous reservoir considering the wettability and gravity was studied. The influences of wettability and rock particle shape on flow characteristics were studied based on the characteristics of saturation and pressure distribution. Compared with the simulation results of polymer flooding in three different rock particle shapes porous media, the oil displacement efficiency of the circular particle model is the highest at 91.57%, which is 3.34% and 11.48% higher than that in the hexagonal and diamond models, respectively. The influence of wettability was studied by the circular particle model. The oil displacement efficiency under water-wet conditions was higher than that under oil-wet conditions. The displacement process considering gravity was affected by the crossflow caused by gravity and viscous force, and the micro-oil displacement efficiency was 9.87% lower than that of non-gravity. Considering the wettability, vertical crossflow will be formed. The oil displacement efficiency under water-wet conditions was 3.9% higher than in oil-wet conditions. The research results can not only expand and enrich the micro-flow mechanism of viscoelastic polymer solution, but also provide reference and guidance for polymer flooding scheme design.

Ortaokul Öğrencilerinin Op Art ile Matematik Deneyimleri ve Yaratıcılık Becerileri

The present research aimed to explore the perspectives and creations of middle school students regarding Op Art design activities. Four Op Art activities were implemented in this study. The students' opinions were collected through an observation form, an open-ended questionnaire, and individual interviews. Content analysis was employed to analyze the students' responses. The students' Op Art designs were evaluated using a creativity diamond model comprising frequency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration competencies. Three themes emerged from the students' Op Art design process: mathematical expression, visual expression, and creativity skills. Similarly, six themes were identified from the students' viewpoints on Op Art designs: general perspectives on Op Art designs, aspects of Op Art design activities that were liked or disliked, the success of the created designs, exciting aspects of the Op Art activity, perspectives on the use of Op Art activities in mathematics lessons, and instructive aspects of Op Art activities. This study suggests that Op Art activities have the potential to enhance students' creativity, particularly flexibility competencies, and foster an appreciation for the process rather than solely focusing on the end result.

An Entrepreneurship Incubation Process Model and Gamified Educational Software Designed for Sustainable Education

To tackle the challenges of the sustainable development of entrepreneurship education in China and bridge the gaps between academic research and practices for Goal 4 of the SDGs, this design science research aims to create an educational artifact for the incubation of entrepreneurship from students’ tacit knowledge and evaluate whether it performs well. First, the incubation process of the educational artifact is summarized, including the functions and tools of its supporting software. An Extended Triple Diamond model with design principles in the knowledge creation process is proposed in this research. Then, the educational artifact is evaluated based on the data from in-depth interviews conducted with 15 university teacher and student users. Through the evaluation, functions of the supporting software and some organizational arrangements of the activity are iterated. This design science research of the educational artifact contributes empirically to the body of design knowledge. In terms of practice, the educational artifact with extremely low entry barriers is expected to alleviate the inherent contradictions between personalization (the inherent characteristics of innovation and entrepreneurship) and large-scale development (to be carried out in a sustainable manner), thus contributing to the Sustainable Development Goal of inclusive and equitable quality education.

Central bank digital currencies and financial stability in a modern monetary system

The aim of this study is to disentangle the effects of introducing an interest-bearing central bank digital currency (CBDC) for financial stability using a Diamond and Dybvig (1983) model in which (i) both CBDC and private bank deposits can be used in exchange and (ii) liquidity is created endogenously. Agents have direct access to a CBDC, which is a claim on the central bank. They use both sight deposits and CBDC to buy goods and commercial banks borrow reserves to cover liquidity needs. The introduction of an interest-bearing CBDC has direct implications for the sight deposit rate and the loan rate of banks. Besides, if the central bank aims to have a positive net worth and the absence of bank runs, a high demand for a CBDC is a necessary condition to achieve both objectives. If this is not the case, financial stability will be endangered.

Using the Culture Diamond Model to Analyze the Relations between the Artists on Audiences through Music Videos under Vietnamese Social Context Based on Case Study MV “There’s No One At All”: Perspective from Students at FPT University

The parasocial contact between artists/creators and audiences is partly established and maintained by media products. Media products such as music videos (MVs) and songs may contain not only the creators’ experiences but also their ideals, philosophy, and enthusiasm. Media products provide a means for audiences to approach admired icons. Audiences can comprehend the message and value the artist wants to impart. However, external factors such as cultural and social context may impact the process of generating music videos and perceiving the message from the creator(s). Sometimes, the messages of creators may not be consumed, or accepted in ways that the creators wish, causing controversy in social and public contexts. This paper aims at testing the relations in Vietnam’s social context through the case study MV "There's No One At All" performed by Son Tung M-TP. The MV was removed in Vietnam since its contents are accused of being "contrary to national norms and customs, negatively harming religion, ethics, public health, and psychosocial," regardless that Son Tung M-TP is one of the singers with the largest fan base in Vietnam currently. The authors use Griswold’s Cultural Diamond Model (CDM) as a theoretical framework and conduct a survey to collect perspectives from 257 Vietnamese youth who are studying at FPT University to understand their thinking and feelings about the MV and compare the findings with what the signers wanted to convey through the MV and common opinions regarding the MV. The findings show that more than half of the responses agreed that the MV's image, content, and lyrics contained negative, suicidal elements. However, nearly a quarter of the respondents accepted the appropriate positive message that Son Tung desired to convey. This study is one of the very first studies that test whether the CDM is applicable in Vietnamese culture and society and plays a milestone in studying the relationship between famous artists and mass audiences in Vietnam’s entertainment industry.

Sustainable Design in Motion Sensing Game for Autistic Children

The population of autistic children is increasing rapidly in recent years, and it has become an urgent public health problem. The practice has proved that motion-sensing games can help autistic children solve their symptoms and help them grow healthily. However, there are still some defects in the operation of these games recently, e.g., fixed space and time, high cost, and public welfare institutions. Furthermore, no effective solution has been proposed in the academic field. To fulfill this research gap, this study focuses on value co-creation with autistic children in a motion-sensing game. The methods involve a double diamond design model and sustainable design approaches as the basis for the creative convergence motion sensing game. This study used the concept of sustainable design to develop a new game experience promoting the well-being of autistic children and stakeholders. To achieve sustainability in creative convergence motion sensing games for autistic children, it is necessary to fully consider the game design's technological innovation, social innovation, economic value, and diverse culture.

Evaluation of port competitiveness along China’s “Belt and Road” based on the entropy-TOPSIS method

Based on the literature on the factors influencing port competitiveness, this paper evaluates the competitiveness of Chinese ports along the Belt and Road based on Porter’s diamond model. The evaluation system includes four primary indicators, including port infrastructure, port operation scale, port hinterland economic level and port development potential, and 13 secondary indicators. Then, based on the entropy-TOPSIS method, an evaluation model of port competitiveness is constructed. Finally, 15 seaports along China’s “Belt and Road” are used to evaluate competitiveness, and a comprehensive ranking of port competitiveness is obtained. The advantages and shortcomings of each port are pointed out according to the evaluation results to provide a reference for the long-term development of the competitiveness of ports along the “Belt and Road” in China.

Nextcoa: How and Entrepreneurial University can Transform the Cocoa Industry Towards Circularity

As the economy has evolved from being driven by physical capital to knowledge and entrepreneurship, the role of the university has also evolved over time; besides its responsibility to generate technology transfer and knowledge-based startups, universities have broadened to focus on enhancing entrepreneurship capital and facilitating behavior to prosper in an entrepreneurial society (Audretsch, 2014). This article talks about Nextcoa, an academic spin-off initiative which wants to revolutionize the cocoa industry by modernizing the production and transformation of the fruit to obtain the traditional chocolate, but also using the current waste to produce new goods and services. The research question is focus on how challenging is for a Colombian entrepreneurial university to contribute to circularity, trying to produce sweeteners and biopolymers obtained from cocoa mucilage that can be used to produce and package chocolates, replacing sugar cane and plastic bags, while gives use to a residue that is currently wasted. First, it is explained the development process of new products from Nextcoa since its conception. Then, an analysis of external conditions for the cocoa sweetener and biopolymer is done, using the Porter diamond model. In third place, it is presented an internal capabilities profile of Nextcoa. Finally, the challenges for the new products to be successful in the market are synthesized, thus contributing to the circularity of the cocoa industry. As main results, it is obtained that there is an important technological limitation in obtaining the cocoa mucilage to produce the sweetener and biopolymer as well as in the little knowledge and management of biotechnological processes of those involved in the cocoa value chain. On the other hand, there is a significant demand for plastics and sweeteners for chocolate production and packaging, and a prevailing need to reduce related contamination and consumption of sugar cane for health issues. Also, being produced by an academic spin-off gives good-will to Nextcoa products but, given the bureaucracy typical of a public university in Colombia, it can mean complications for doing business. Finally, cocoa biopolymer and sweetener would have an interesting market, especially if they can be produced at a competitive cost.

Direct imaging of shock wave splitting in diamond at Mbar pressure

Understanding the behavior of matter at extreme pressures of the order of a megabar (Mbar) is essential to gain insight into various physical phenomena at macroscales—the formation of planets, young stars, and the cores of super-Earths, and at microscales—damage to ceramic materials and high-pressure plastic transformation and phase transitions in solids. Under dynamic compression of solids up to Mbar pressures, even a solid with high strength exhibits plastic properties, causing the induced shock wave to split in two: an elastic precursor and a plastic shock wave. This phenomenon is described by theoretical models based on indirect measurements of material response. The advent of x-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs) has made it possible to use their ultrashort pulses for direct observations of the propagation of shock waves in solid materials by the method of phase-contrast radiography. However, there is still a lack of comprehensive data for verification of theoretical models of different solids. Here, we present the results of an experiment in which the evolution of the coupled elastic–plastic wave structure in diamond was directly observed and studied with submicrometer spatial resolution, using the unique capabilities of the x-ray free-electron laser (XFEL). The direct measurements allowed, for the first time, the fitting and validation of the 2D failure model for diamond in the range of several Mbar. Our experimental approach opens new possibilities for the direct verification and construction of equations of state of matter in the ultra-high-stress range, which are relevant to solving a variety of problems in high-energy-density physics.

Research on the Countermeasures to Promote the Development of Education Service Trade in China

With the development of the economy, international trade globalization, and the improvement of people's living standards, coupled with the development of international trade globalization, education service trade has become an important part of the economy of various countries. Since China acceded to the WTO, the educational service trade has been effectively developed and made some achievements. It is worth mentioning that with the advent of the post-COVID-19 era, the global economy has begun to show new vitality, promoting the development of international trade in education services. Whats more, this paper uses the Porter diamond model, which facilitates the study of Chinese international education services trade competitiveness. On the basis of explaining the relevant theories of educational service trade, this paper focuses on analyzing the current situation and existing problems of educational service trade and puts forward targeted strategic choices. Finally, at the end of the thesis, there is a brief conclusion for the paper.

Improving Self-management for Long COVID: Using Double Diamond Model to Design A mHealth App

Due to physical isolation and shortages of medical resources caused by COVID-19, many patients with long-term symptoms cannot receive effective treatment and care after discharge from the hospital. In the present study, we proposed the design process of a mobile health (mHealth) app to improve the long COVID patients’ self-management. This study was mainly guided by the Double Diamond Model in four phases: discover, define, develop, and deliver. We interviewed twenty patients and used a user journey map to describe their experiences throughout their healthcare period. Four app themes were identified via thematic analysis in the develop phase, including self-monitoring, mental health improvement, health coaching, and health data visualization. Prototypes of the mHealth app were determined through user-centered design. The findings contributed to long COVID healthcare using mHealth and overcoming environmental barriers in existing healthcare services.

中国金融服务贸易竞争力之影响因素分析

Against the backdrop of economic globalization and trade liberalization, financial services, as an emerging sector, have gradually become a focal point of attention for countries around the world. The development of financial services trade has accelerated the flow of capital between nations and effectively promoted global trade as well as the development of non-trade industries. This article, based on the background of the RCEP coming into effect, conducts a comparative analysis of the financial services trade competitiveness between China and RCEP member countries, and empirically studies the factors influencing China’s financial services trade competitiveness based on Porter’s Diamond Model.
 This study first starts with the current status of financial services trade among RCEP member countries, comparing the competitiveness of China’s financial services trade with other RCEP member countries using three commonly used indicators for evaluating international trade competitiveness: market share (MS), trade competitiveness index (TC), and revealed comparative advantage index (RCA). Subsequently, based on Porter’s competitive advantage theory, an evaluation system is constructed from six aspects: factor conditions, demand conditions, related and supporting industries, government, enterprise organization strategy and competition, and opportunities. The regression model is constructed using data from 2006 to 2021 combined with the principal component analysis method to empirically analyze the factors influencing China’s financial services trade competitiveness. The analysis results show that China’s financial services trade international competitiveness is relatively weak among RCEP member countries, but it has shown a strong growth trend in recent years. The impact of fiscal policy on the competitiveness of financial services trade is the largest, followed by technological and related industry factors, while human capital has the smallest contribution to the competitiveness of financial services trade.
 Based on the research results, in the future, China should strengthen the cultivation of talents in the financial services industry, promote consumer spending in the financial services sector, increase the capital and technological content of related financial industries, expand the scale of foreign capital utilization in the financial services industry, and improve the financial regulatory system to enhance China’s international competitiveness in financial services trade.
