Using a Semiautomated Procedure (CleanADHdata.R Script) to Clean Electronic Adherence Monitoring Data: Tutorial.

Patient adherence to medications can be assessed using interactive digital health technologies such as electronic monitors (EMs). Changes in treatment regimens and deviations from EM use over time must be characterized to establish the actual level of medication adherence. We developed the computer script CleanADHdata.R to clean raw EM adherence data, and this tutorial is a guide for users. In addition to raw EM data, we collected adherence start and stop monitoring dates and identified the prescribed regimens, the expected number of EM openings per day based on the prescribed regimen, EM use deviations, and patients' demographic data. The script formats the data longitudinally and calculates each day's medication implementation. We provided a simulated data set for 10 patients, for which 15 EMs were used over a median period of 187 (IQR 135-342) days. The median patient implementation before and after EM raw data cleaning was 83.3% (IQR 71.5%-93.9%) and 97.3% (IQR 95.8%-97.6%), respectively (Δ+14%). This difference is substantial enough to consider EM data cleaning to be capable of avoiding data misinterpretation and providing a cleaned data set for the adherence analysis in terms of implementation and persistence. The CleanADHdata.R script is a semiautomated procedure that increases standardization and reproducibility. This script has broader applicability within the realm of digital health, as it can be used to clean adherence data collected with diverse digital technologies.

Presenting Archaeoacoustics Results Using Multimedia and VR Technologies

Abstract Music and sound cannot be experienced through writing and numbers. Writing freezes time onto paper; as a time-based medium, sound cannot be heard without temporal motion, and acoustic metrics are silent data. For a complete experience of sound, it needs to engage our bodies. Digital multimedia technologies offer powerful approaches to understanding the acoustics of the past, and this work will explore a number of those affordances. In particular, this work explores the use of apps that illustrate archaeoacoustic effects, set digitally within visual and acoustic archaeological cultures. The ways of immersing audiences through projection, acoustic simulation, field and studio recordings, and musical performance will be discussed. The use of virtual reality (VR) headsets is explored to create a sense of deep-flow and presence amongst audiences, total immersion in an experiential phenomenological understanding of interacting audio and visual fields, as well as setting such results within an appropriate context. This study will examine how acoustics results at caves in Northern Spain, in various phases of Stonehenge, and at Paphos Theatre (all World Heritage Sites) can be explored using VR and multimedia technologies, evaluating the comparative advantages of the use of different technologies. It proposes that such integration of visual and sonic modelling using interactive digital technologies is effective as a non-representational theory approach to compliment empirical studies, allowing understanding that goes beyond numerical analysis and binary dialectics to engage directly with the material of archaeological sites in an embodied manner, and address the real-world complexities of acoustic ecologies and their contexts.

Formation of Mechanisms and Technologies for Interaction between Authorities and Society in the Context of Digitalization of Public Administration

This article discusses the process of digitalization of the communicative space between the state and society in modern Russia. From the point of view of the concepts of “new public management” and “service state”, the stages of the formation of e-government are studied. The reasons and prerequisites that led to the formation of the concept of digital public admin- istration are also studied. The political and institutional benefits and prospects for the develop- ment of new interactive formats and digital technologies used by government bodies in the practice of their interaction with the population are analyzed. On the basis of the study, the authors conclude that digital technologies are a modern and inevitable multifunctional addition to the large-scale institutional environment of the Russian political system, which requires changes in the qualitative and quantitative representation of existing political institutions, as well as harmonization of the infrastructure and all organizational structures of the state. The reported study was funded by Foundation for the Development of Scientific Research and Applied Developments of NWIM RANEPA

The Value of Experience-Centered Design to Responsible Software Design and Engineering

Abstract In this conceptual article, we review experience-centered approaches to the design of personal digital interactive technologies, with a view to exploring how these approaches might be of value in understanding the experience-in-use and the responsible design of today's highly networked, data-rich, and ubiquitous software technologies. Experience-centered design research leans heavily on pragmatist philosophy for its conceptual underpinnings, particularly John Dewey's accounts of aesthetic experience and of inquiry. After reviewing this body of work, we argue that these foundations could be usefully extended to also include Dewey's approach to ethics as an empirical, situated act of moral imagination. In addition, we look to other researchers for perspectives that complement and extend Deweyan experiential pragmatics. In particular, we look to the ways in which Susan Leigh Star's account of socio-technical infrastructures and dialogical approaches to human relations together can provide important insights into the experience-in-use of today's digital infrastructure and can critically highlight issues of boundaries and privacy. We also offer pragmatic and methodological concepts that may be of value to the field of responsible software design and engineering.

THE DEVELOPMENT OF METHODOLOGICAL APPROACHES TO TEACHING THE INSTRUMENTS OF THE BAYAN-ACCORDION GROUP IN CHINA WITH THE USE OF INTERACTIVE DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES

The article discusses the current state of bayan-accordion pedagogy in China. It is noted that in the conditions of integration of Russia and China, bayan-accordion pedagogy in China is at the stage of revival. To date, there are no unique methodological approaches to learning to play the button accordion and accordion in China: mainly, the entire pedagogical process is based on borrowed Russian and Western methods, as well as on the educational developments of China in the beginning and middle of the last century, presented through the prism of digitalisation. The above makes it impossible to organise an effective educational process, including in the existing conditions of generational change, as well as the peculiarities of music education. For the further revival of the Chinese bayan-accordion art, it is relevant to apply modern pedagogical practices based primarily on interactive digital technologies.

His Majesty the King Carl XVI Gustaf’s Monument to the Environment: A Digital Monument For the Future

In June 1994, His Majesty the King Carl XVI Gustaf’s The Environmental Monument was inaugurated in Stockholm. The Environmental Monument was not created for commemorative reasons; instead, it was meant to disseminate information about the environment and function as a reminder of our common responsibility for the present and future environment. The Environmental Monument signifies a major shift in thinking about monumentality. This article examines this shift by exploring how The Environmental Monument relates to other monuments and further sets out to place The Environmental Monument in an art-historical context. By describing and analyzing the history of The Environmental Monument, and by examining the physical monument, including its location, form, and material, as well as its function, this article shows that the monument both aligns with and simultaneously contradicts historical and contemporary paradigms of monuments, which makes it difficult to characterize. Finally, this article introduces the term “digital monument” to characterize a type of public art that emerged in the mid-1990s and consisted of physical monuments made of enduring material and incorporating interactive digital technology.

Social Cohesion in Interactive Digital Heritage Experiences

Presently, social cohesion (SC) is a priority at different levels. Cultural heritage is an ideal context to promote SC through interactive digital technologies designed to engage groups of visitors. The purpose of the present study is to identify how to design digital heritage applications for SC and how to measure it. The results are based on the design of a cultural probe kit used to identify the design elements on top of which a collaborative and hybrid prototype, the Brancacci POV, was developed. Here, we analysed the results of this prototype, which included 107 visitors with respective groups of 5 participants and guided by an expert. From this analysis, the possibility of strengthening SC when collaborative tasks are included emerged. Additionally, it appeared to be possible to shorten the distance between citizens and cultural institutions if “mediated dialogue” approaches were adopted and if focus, motivation, trust and “in-group” perception of inclusion emerge when digital heritage experiences were set in intimate and quiet environments.

Virtual Museum Scene Design Based on VRAR Realistic Interaction under PMC Artificial Intelligence Model

Abstract At present, there are problems of insufficient conservation and heritage and single display channels in the field of museums. In the background of digital era, innovative new museum display mode and interaction mode can bring new exhibition experience for visitors. In this paper, we study the key technologies such as 3D scene visualization, facility and equipment simulation, and human-computer interaction simulation. Based on virtual reality and augmented reality, somatosensory interactive digital technologies, an interaction engine under multiple classifiers is proposed, an online virtual museum design strategy is built, and an all-round, multi-angle, three-dimensional interactive museum display platform is constructed. A quantitative analysis method based on the policy consistency index model is proposed to conduct user measurement and post-use evaluation of the conceived virtual museum. The application results show that the design platform can intuitively display the complex environment of an intelligent digital museum, support the development of immersive virtual roaming and virtual touch, and provide a new way to visit a new type of interactive museum.

Digital modality richness drives vivid memory experience

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to clarify the role of various levels of modality richness [text-visual, audiovisual and augmented reality interactive technology (ARIT)] on vivid memories (visual sensory detailed, emotionally intense, first-person perspective and coherent) and exploratory behavior. To clarify which modality richness online retailers use is more appropriate to create a virtual reality simulation experience to fill a significant gap in the sensory interactive marketing paradigm.Design/methodology/approachA task-based laboratory study was conducted to provide users with private try-on space. A total of 429 valid questionnaires were collected, and partial least squares path modeling was adopted to test hypotheses.FindingsThe results indicate that various levels of modality richness (text-visual, audiovisual and ARIT) positively affect vivid memories (visual sensory detailed, emotionally intense, first-person perspective and coherent), and vivid memories successfully induce exploratory behavior.Practical implicationsThe study results could also help retailers and brands with clear guidance in designing and creating simulation experience services and choosing the best way to present products. With the results of this research, retailers will also be able to grasp better the critical points of introducing innovative technology into the service experience and then create the benefits of digital economic growth.Originality/valueExploring which digital interactive technology online retailers use is more appropriate to create a virtual reality shopping experience to fill a significant gap in the sensory interactive marketing paradigm. Exploring the antecedents of vivid memories in a digital sensory interactive experience contributes to the body schema literature and the script theory. We draw from construal level theory (CLT) to clarify the impact of various levels of modality richness on driving the difference in sensory simulation schema to break through the limited findings of previous studies, namely using CLT to interpret psychological distance.

The effect of online learning in modern history education

Interactive digital technologies have become relevant in modern education. The use of these technologies in the classroom contributes to the development of professional competencies and skills. The purpose of the study is to analyze the effectiveness of interactive learning environments and online platforms in learning history. The features of modern online learning platforms and the possibilities of their use in the study of history have been analyzed. The research was carried out at the Department of National History of Moscow City University (Moscow, the Russian Federation). The experiment involved 623 history students of different years of study of the following training profiles: "History" (124 students of 1–4 years of study) and "Pedagogical education" ("History and a foreign language", "History and social studies" – 399 students of 1–5 years of study). Also, the survey was addressed to 29 faculty members from the university under consideration. The results of the first survey show that the majority of students (62%) noted the use of traditional methods and 38% of respondents indicated the use of the modern ones. The majority of students (52%) also answered that digital tools are rarely used in the study of history while 71% of respondents reported that digital technology affects their motivation to learn. Therefore, the majority of students rated their level of motivation as average (43%) or low (47%). The most frequent professional competencies and skills are “technical competence (modern technologies)” (62%), “creativity” (65%), “critical thinking” (60%), “strategic thinking” (55%), and “practical skills” (78%). Based on the results obtained in the first survey, a program was developed to increase the motivation of students to study history and archeology, as well as to familiarize themselves with modern educational technologies that can be used in the learning process. The second survey showed an increase in the indicators of students' motivation to learn, which indicates the effectiveness of the developed program for the study of history. The majority of students (85%) answered that digital tools affect their motivation to learn. Thus, they rated it as medium (50%), high (20%) and low (30%). Accordingly, the indicators of professional competencies and skills increased by 10%: “technical competence (modern technologies)” (72%), “creativity” (75%), “critical thinking” (71%), “strategic thinking” (65%), and “practical skills” (88%). No less significant were the shifts in students’ creative thinking development indicators – they changed from 18% (before the experiment) to 58% (after the experiment). The practical significance and prospects for further research are explained by the possibility of using the developed program for the study of history in other universities located in different countries. Also, the methodological basis of the proposed program can be used to study not only history but also other subjects as digital technologies are relevant in the modern education system.

The role of digital interactive technology in cultural heritage learning: Evaluating a mid‐air gesture‐based interactive media of Ruihetu

AbstractIn this study, we investigate the role of mid‐air gesture‐based interaction technologies in cultural heritage learning. In an experiment, a mid‐air gesture‐based interactive media for Chinese Song Dynasty traditional paintingRuihetu was developed and validated. Participants tested three experimental conditions: video learning only; interactive experience first, then video learning; and video learning first, then interactive experience. According to the research results, the outcomes of participants' learning of this cultural heritage differed significantly across all three experimental conditions. This study's findings offer insights into cultural learning of Chinese traditional painting in museums using mid‐air gesture‐based technology, specifically that video learning exhibits should be combined with and preceded by multimedia interactive exhibits for improved memory and understanding.
