Evolutionary Tripartite Game Model in the Coal Mine Risk-Hazard Double Pre-Control and Management in China

The classification, investigation, and management of the safety risk (namely, risk-hazard double pre-control management mechanism) in coal mines were introduced into a behavioral evolution game to assess the decision-making processes of coal mine workers, regulators, and supervisors. A tripartite game tree and a revenue perception matrix were constructed, and the evolutionary stability strategy (ESS) achieved by the evolutionary system under different conditions was obtained according to the replication dynamic equation (RD). The numerical simulation of the evolution game was conducted in MATLAB, which verified the influence of various parameters on the behaviors adopted by all parties. The results show: (1) When the safety, regulatory, and supervisory costs are high, the average expected value of mine workers, regulators, and supervisors to choose safety behaviors is low, so they adopt an unsafe behavior. By contrast, reducing costs can encourage the adoption of safety behaviors. (2) When the punishment for accident losses caused by unsafe behavior and the lack of regulations and supervision is higher than 50% of the initial state, the actors in the tripartite game are more inclined to avoid risks when facing cost losses in the short term, which can lead them to choose a safety behavior. (3) When the actors in the tripartite game face different accident probabilities and accident loss, with the severity of the accident increasing to 80% of the initial state, mine workers and regulators gradually adopt safety and regulation behaviors, and supervisors quickly adopt supervision methods.

EFFECTS OF A SINGLE HEART RATE-CLAMPED CYCLING SESSION UNDER SYSTEMIC HYPOXIA ON RECOVERY OF PHYSICAL AND PSYCHO-PHYSIOLOGICAL RESPONSES FROM EXERCISE-INDUCED FATIGUE

AIMS We investigated whether a single heart-rate clamped cycling session under systemic hypoxia affects the recovery of physical and psycho-physiological responses from residual fatigue compared to normoxia. METHODS On separate occasions, twelve trained males had countermovement jump height, leg stiffness, and perceptual fatigue assessed daily during a 3-d acute training camp scenario. On days 1 and 3, participants cycled for 60 min at a constant heart rate (80% of ventilatory threshold). On day 2, fatigue was induced through a simulated team game circuit (STGC), followed by a 60-min heart rate clamped cycling bout in either normoxia, hypoxia (simulated altitude ∼3500 m), or no cycling. RESULTS Compared to baseline, jump height decreased at all timepoints following the STGC (all p < 0.05). Leg stiffness and cycling power output only decreased immediately following the STGC, with a 48% further decrease in cycling power output in hypoxia compared to normoxia (p < 0.05). The well-being questionnaire showed that perceived fatigue, decreased sleep quality, and increased muscle soreness responses occurred on day 3 (p< 0.05). CONCLUSION In a pre-fatigued state, a single heart rate-clamped cycling session in hypoxia reduced mechanical output without affecting recovery of physical performance and perceptual measures from residual fatigue induced through team sport activity.

While fantasy and enjoyment gratifications were positively associated with pro-animal attitudes, fantasy, and social gratifications were positively correlated with pro-environmental behaviors.

Exploring the Complex Dynamics: Examining the Influence of Deviant Personas in Online Gambling.

The widespread use of computers and the Internet has substantially changed the gaming environment during the past ten years. The gambling industry is no longer exclusive to land-based gaming establishments (such as casinos and racetracks). Today, a few keystrokes on a computer are all it takes to access gaming operations. Social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat and various other platforms constitute a particular form of access that has drawn more attention from academics in gambling studies. This increasing focus is partially attributable to the fact that social media sites have gained popularity as a means of accessing online gambling websites via hyperlinks hidden inside adverts. Users of social networking platforms can play free-to-play virtual gambling games using programmes. Virtual gaming platforms are the new name for these free-to-play simulation games of gambling. However, there is evidence to suggest that playing social casino games may serve as a "gateway" to real money gambling. The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of deviant personas on online gambling behavior. By examining the relationship between deviant personas and online gambling, we seek to enhance our understanding of the factors that contribute to problematic gambling behaviors in virtual environments. Employing a robust methodological approach, this research amalgamates the analytical power of PLS-SEM (Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling) to explore the factors influencing the intention to adopt online gambling services. The data for this study were obtained by administering an online survey questionnaire to a sample of 325 aware customers of online gambling. The study's discerning insights have notable implications for the academic community, brand strategists, online game designers, and online gambling platform providers, offering valuable guidance for decision-making and strategy formulation within the burgeoning online gambling industry.

Evaluations of Virtual and Augmented Reality Technology-Enhanced Learning for Higher Education

Virtual reality (VR) has good potential to promote technology-enhanced learning. Students can benefit from immersive visualization and intuitive interaction in their learning of abstract concepts, complex structures, and dynamic processes. This paper is interested in evaluating the effects of VR learning games in a Virtual and Augmented Reality Technology-Enhanced Learning (VARTeL) environment within an engineering education setting. A VARTeL flipped classroom is established in the HIVE learning hub at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) Singapore for the immersive and interactive learning. Experiments are designed for the university students conducting the learning, with three interactive and immersive VR games related to science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), i.e., virtual cells, a virtual F1 racing car, and vector geometry. These VR games are a part of the VARTeL apps designed in-house at NTU for STEM education. Quantitative and qualitative analyses are performed. A total of 156 students from Mechanical Engineering participated in the experiment. There are 15 participants selected for an interview after the experiment. Pre-tests and post-tests are performed using two different models, the developed VARTeL and the modified Technology-Rich Outcome-Focused Learning Environment Inventory (TROFLEI), in order to measure the efficiency of the VARTeL environment in Higher Education. Significant improvements of about 24.8% are observed for the post-tests over the pre-tests, which illustrate the effectiveness of the VARTeL for Engineering education. Details of the VR simulation games, methods of data collection, data analyses, as well as the experiment results are discussed. It is observed from the results that all the underlying scales of the modified TROFLEI are above the threshold for the ‘Good’ category, indicating that a very reliable questionnaire is designed in this research. The mean ‘Ideal’ values are about 0.7–2.6% higher than the mean ‘Actual’ values. The limitations of the experiment and future works with recommendations are also presented in this paper.

콘텐츠의 시대, 고전문학의 대응과 과제

This study began with fundamental questions and doubts about the utility and value of classical literature amidst the rapid development of science and technology, increasing social demands, and the resulting changes in literary environments and conditions. Breaking away from the obsession with processing and transformation into content, this study attempted to derive the corresponding direction and tasks of classical literature by exploring the relationship and mediation point between classical literature of the past and modern content. Development is being driven by external changes represented by content, but this is due to the awareness of the problem that fundamental consideration and reflection on the relationship between content and classical literature has not been properly carried out. Considering this research purpose and background, this study does not simply analyze and introduce actual cases of content development, but also seeks to expand the horizon of awareness of classical literature through content, and explores the approach of classical literature for content. As such, actual lecture cases and results that produce and develop content based on classical literature correspond to materials for such exploration, and the content acts as a new perspective and channel to inspect the enjoyment of classical literature and education in general. Chapter 2 looked at changes and adjustments in the classical literature ecosystem, largely exploring the media environment and literary conditions, subjects and education of enjoyment, and aspects of classical literature and enjoyment. It examined the media environment and literary conditions in which the past is newly recalled in a reversible and non-chronological time and space, and confirmed the emergence of a new enjoyment subject represented by ‘Phono Sapiens’ and changes in education represented by agency. Amid these changes, attention was paid to ‘defamiliarized pleasure.’ In Chapter 3, the planning and design of the ‘Classical Literature and Cultural Contents(Capstone Design)’ lecture was introduced and the results were analyzed. By typing it into an optional simulation game type, a test type for type diagnosis, and a digital platform utilization type, the production process and results were examined, and achievements and tasks were derived. The relationship between classical literature and content was newly established, and tasks were derived from both aspects of classical literature and content. First, ‘through’ the content, this study derived and reconceptualized ‘doing literature’, which emphasizes the recipient’s active participation and performance and attempted to shift from the existing empathy to response through this. Second, ‘for the sake of’ content, while being wary of the materialization and schematization of interpretation of classical literature, divergence of acceptance was suggested as a method that could lead to new discoveries of the subject and the world.

Педагогічні умови формування графічної компетентності майбутніх фахівців у галузі електроніки та телекомунікацій засобами цифрових технологій

The article deals with the actual problem of determining the pedagogical conditions that ensure the formation of graphic competence in the future specialists in the field of electronics and telecommunications by means of digital technologies and other professional qualities necessary for the implementation of successful professional activities in the modern digital world.
 To determine the pedagogical conditions for the formation of future specialists in the field of electronics and telecommunications graphic competence by means of digital technologies, the method of survey and independent expert evaluations was used.
 Of the 11 pedagogical conditions proposed for expert evaluation, four were selected that have a high and very high degree of agreement of the experts' opinions. Therefore, we believe that the following pedagogical conditions will have a positive impact on the formation of graphic competence of future specialists in the field of electronics and telecommunications using digital technologies: creating conditions for the development of cognitive interest and providing motivation to carry out professional activities of future specialists in the field of electronics and telecommunications; willingness of scientific and pedagogical workers to promote the development of graphic competence of applicants; gradual development of graphic competence as an integral component of the applicant's professional competence; the use of innovative pedagogical technologies in order to activate the educational and cognitive activities of the applicants.
 The use of innovative pedagogical technologies in order to activate the educational and cognitive activities of future specialists in the field of electronics and telecommunications in order to form their graphic competence by means of digital technologies has a number of advantages, in particular: improving the quality of education, developing creative abilities and independence of students, increasing motivation to study, etc. Among the promising methods for forming the graphic competence of future specialists in the field of electronics and telecommunications using digital technologies are the following: interactive technologies that allow students to actively interact with each other in the process of mastering educational material, in particular, the brainstorming method, the project method, etc.; game technologies, among which we see promising didactic games, scenario games, simulation games, etc.; distance learning technologies as a means of improving graphic skills and abilities; problem-based learning technologies that allow students to develop critical thinking, creative abilities, and practical skills.

Adapting to climate change through play? Didactically effective elements of a business simulation game

IntroductionThe negative consequences of climate change are widespread and have a global impact. An industrialized region of Germany must adapt to the effects of climate change and comply with political regulations. Previous studies indicate that economic actors who are not directly affected by climate change approach climate change mitigation and adaptation primarily based on legal requirements and often feel discouraged by the absence of data-based reports. Addressing this challenge, game-based learning emerges as a promising pathway.MethodsTo examine game-based learning’s applicability and potential for climate adaptation, we developed a business simulation game, simultaneously identifying didactically effective elements for managers who would participate in it. Using expert interviews and focus groups, we conducted a qualitative study with three HR developers from larger companies and nine managers and founders of startups to develop a business simulation game on climate adaptation. Based on the Grounded Theory methodology, theoretical coding was used to analyze the qualitative data.ResultsThe derived core categories indicate that personnel development in companies is evolving in response to economic changes. Individual resources such as motivation (especially for managers), personnel and time play a crucial role in establishing a business game as an educational offering. The identified game elements can also be used theoretically and practically in the development of other educational games.DiscussionWe discussed common human resource development measures in companies and compared them with more innovative approaches such as a simulation game. The study underscores the importance of innovative approaches, such as game-based learning, in fostering climate adaptation efforts among economic actors. By integrating theoretical insights with practical applications, our findings provide valuable guidance for the development of educational games aimed at addressing complex challenges like climate change. Further research and implementation of such approaches are essential for promoting proactive climate adaptation strategies within industrialized regions and beyond.

A Multi-Information Dissemination Model Based on Cellular Automata

Significant public opinion events often trigger pronounced fluctuations in online discourse. While existing models have been extensively employed to analyze the propagation of public opinion, they frequently overlook the intricacies of information dissemination among heterogeneous users. To comprehensively address the implications of public opinion outbreaks, it is crucial to accurately predict the evolutionary trajectories of such events, considering the dynamic interplay of multiple information streams. In this study, we propose a SEInR model based on cellular automata to simulate the propagation dynamics of multi-information. By delineating information dissemination rules that govern the diverse modes of information propagation within the network, we achieve precise forecasts of public opinion trends. Through the concurrent simulation and prediction of multi-information game and evolution processes, employing Weibo users as nodes to construct a public opinion cellular automaton, our experimental analysis reveals a significant similarity exceeding 98% between the proposed model and the actual user participation curve observed on the Weibo platform.
