Analisis Penataan Self-Portrait Berbasis Seni

The aim of this study is to describe the development of an innovative art-based analytical method in portrait methodology. This article exemplifies how forms of multimodal analysis can be integrated into portraiture frameworks and provides a fluid qualitative "recipe" for researchers interested in applying the portrait method. The study described in this article examines the teaching of vulnerability and resilience using poetry and the visual arts as integral elements of the portraiture process. Portraiture is a qualitative, feminist, artistic method based on ethnography and phenomenology for depicting, understanding and interpreting complex human experiences. This study leads to the methodological development of the three steps of analysis in the portrait process: Sketch, poetic expression and artistic expression. This phase of data analysis emphasizes the richness of the methodological snapshot and focuses on engaging the researcher in creative, intuitive and associative processes. – The studies presented in this article are examples of qualitative research that pushes methodological boundaries and focuses on the role of intuition, association, and creativity in research

Reading a person's character through handwriting can be learned through a science called "Graphology". The main limitation of this research problem is "how to analyze the character of Sukarno using a graphological approach and a historical approach?” The stages of handwriting analysis are an intuitive process, using guidelines, and integrating the first and second stages. The historical method is used to obtain a description of the character of a historical figure for comparison with the results of the graphological analysis. The results showed that the graphology and historical studies did not contradict and instead clarified each other. Historical facts further strengthen the results of the graphological analysis. However, there are some contradictions in historical and graphological findings that require in-depth analysis. In Sukarno’ study, contradictions include the social spirit and dominant character as well as efforts to maintain distance from others, leadership from the aspect of technical organizing, and emotional stability or instability.

Implementation and Evaluation of Dynamic Task Allocation for Human–Robot Collaboration in Assembly

Human–robot collaboration is becoming increasingly important in industrial assembly. In view of high cost pressure, resulting productivity requirements, and the trend towards human-centered automation in the context of Industry 5.0, a reasonable allocation of individual assembly tasks to humans or robots is of central importance. Therefore, this article presents a new approach for dynamic task allocation, its integration into an intuitive block-based process planning framework, and its evaluation in comparison to both manual assembly and static task allocation. For evaluation, a systematic methodology for comprehensive assessment of task allocation approaches is developed, followed by a corresponding user study. The results of the study show for the dynamic task allocation on the one hand a higher fluency in the human–robot collaboration with good adaptation to process delays, and on the other hand a reduction in the cycle time for assembly processes with sufficiently high degrees of parallelism. Based on the study results, we draw conclusions regarding assembly scenarios in which manual assembly or collaborative assembly with static or dynamic task allocation is most appropriate. Finally, we discuss the implications for process planning when using the proposed task allocation framework.

Entrepreneurial Ecosystems as Amplifiers of the Lean Startup Philosophy: Management Control Practices in Earliest‐Stage Startups*

ABSTRACTEntrepreneurial ecosystems play a key role in the development of startups not only by providing support—such as flexible office space and access to skilled employees, mentors, and investors—but moreover by promoting concrete ideals about “good” entrepreneurship. However, we know less about the role that ecosystems play in managerial practices of startups. In our empirical analysis of management control systems (MCSs) in earliest‐stage startups, we witness a strong influence of entrepreneurial ideals—above all, the Lean Startup philosophy—on the MCSs analyzed. Building on cross‐sectional field study data resulting from a comprehensive field‐immersion strategy and 50 interviews with key actors in an entrepreneurial ecosystem as well as with founder‐managers of startups, we consider the entrepreneurial ecosystem as a collective meso‐level community that mediates between macro‐level institutional pressures and micro‐level practices of startups. We show how this community, through a variety of what we term amplifying mechanisms, actively deinstitutionalizes a legacy entrepreneurial philosophy epitomized by the business plan concept. At the same time, the community propagates the Lean Startup philosophy so that this alternative has become the dominant institutional philosophy in the studied ecosystem and its startups. Due to the amplifying mechanisms exerted by the meso level, startups use MCSs that play a crucial role in the rapid experimentation and learning process toward finding a scalable business model that is characteristic of the Lean Startup philosophy. We highlight that this philosophy of scientific experimentation has, to a significant degree, transformed intuitive entrepreneurial processes into a set of transactions that can be steered and accelerated by MCSs.

In Flight Emergency Decision-making Process: Does Intuition Matter?

Objective. This research aimed to describe the origins and contributions of pilot intuition in the decision-making process and gain knowledge on the urgency and importance of pilot intuition in decision-making.Method. The qualitative methodology used by the researcher is presented along with the phenomenology approach. Three pilots participated in the subject research. In-depth interviews, observation, and data documentation were used to collect the data. The researcher used the triangulation technique (other researchers, methods, theories, and data resources) to affirm data quality and results.Result. The research result showed that the pilot's intuitive decisions to take necessary action are based on ‘unconscious thought’ at the beginning of decision-making. However, it develops a more cognitive process where a pilot has time-critical analysis to rationalize his intuitive yet best decision. Such a decision-making process leads to prompt spontaneous and automatic action in the event of emergencies where data and information needed are lacking.
 Intuitive decisions and involuntary action are closely associated with the experience and knowledge of pilots in aviation. In an intuitive decision-making process, when time is limited and information/data is adequate, an analysis process can help a pilot identify the problem pattern and help them evaluate possible ideal decisions. An analysis process cannot replace intuition which plays a crucial role in the decision-making process during an emergency.Conclusion. A pilot’s intuition plays a strategic role in decision-making because aviation conditions are dynamic,situational, and constantly changing. Pilot’s intuition can be developed by sharpening their awareness of active and evolving aviation situations (situational and safety awareness). In addition, pilots must build longer flying hours, attend training, and expand their knowledge of aviation policies and procedures.
 
 

Unsupervised abstractive summarization via sentence rewriting

Unsupervised extractive summarization aims to extract salient sentences from the document without labeled corpus. Existing methods have achieved promising progress, thanks to the power of large-scale pre-trained language models and high-quality contextualized representations. However, extractive summaries often fail to maintain smooth transitions between sentences and struggle to form a coherent and fluent text due to splicing of sentences. Nevertheless, to the best of our knowledge, very few studies currently focus on unsupervised abstractive summarization. Inspired by the intuitive human process of writing summaries, which involves extracting salient sentences first and then reconstructing them, in this paper, we propose an Extract-then-Abstract framework to generate more coherent and human-like summary. Specifically, we first adopt extractive summarization model as summarizer to generate extractive summary in the extraction stage. Then in the abstraction stage, we propose a BART-based sentence write model to generate more coherent and fluent abstractive summary. To this end, we design a novel parallel data creation method for our rewrite model by proposing an effective sentence sampling strategy without any manual annotation cost. Extensive experiments including automatic evaluation and human evaluation demonstrate that our framework consistently outperforms strong baselines for unsupervised abstractive summarization and can generate more coherent and human-like summary while maintaining in competitive ROUGE scores for unsupervised extractive summarization.

Mapping a Pricing Process through a Fuzzy Inference System

Many business owners face struggles in determining their prices even with great experience and knowledge in their fields. The present paper addresses one case of this issue: a professional and entrepreneur that offers mechanical and lathe services in his own workshop. The goal of this work was to map the intuitive pricing process of the entrepreneur through a Fuzzy Inference System (FIS). Many fuzzy aspects such as the imprecision, uncertainty, and ambiguity of these lathe and maintenance services were related to the potential benefits of FIS, clarifying which methods were used and why. This FIS was constructed to mimic the empirical pricing process of the referred professional and, in this task, this project was successful. Output surfaces showed that complexity and goods value have significant effects just above medium levels and that their impact has a smaller weight than the estimated time. Furthermore, some unexpected outcomes were reached in the system development. Not only was the entrepreneur's reasoning mapped but it also provided more understanding of his own market.

Ritual (Re)design. Towards a Framework for Professional Ritual Making in Postsecular Contexts

Ritualizing, the creative, imaginative, and intuitive act of ritual making has been acknowledged for some time now in the literature. In this study, this intuitive process is studied in more detail from the perspective of ritual theory. The aim is to theoretically strengthen a framework of ritual making for professionals, such as chaplains and celebrants working with renewed rituals. A practical framework comprising three steps of ritual making is discussed in more detail: 1) communicating about ritual theme or cause, 2) the ritual (re)design and 3) performing the ritual. Ritualizing leads to dynamics and possible tensions, such as between introducing new elements and (re)using old ones or between the individual and the collective. The article offers an entry point or building block to understand contemporary ritual making in postsecular contexts.

Deliberation does not make the attraction effect disappear: The role of induced cognitive reflection

The human brain is known to process information using fast and intuitive processing (System I) and deliberative or reflective processing (System II). Both these systems work simultaneously and complementarily to aid decision-making and preference construction. The attraction effect is a choice anomaly that occurs when consumer preference between two alternatives polarizes toward one of the alternatives upon the inclusion of a third (asymmetrically dominated) option. Past studies have shown that suppression of System II magnifies the attraction effect and, thereby, concluded that the attraction effect is a result of System I. In our experimental studies, contrary to these past studies, we find a robust attraction effect when the reflective processing (System II) is induced using a priming procedure. We rule out several possible alternative explanations of our findings and discuss potential research implications.

VRPharmer: bringing virtual reality into pharmacophore-based virtual screening with interactive exploration and realistic visualization

Current pharmacophore-based virtual screening (VS) software has limited interactive capabilities and less intuitive screening processes. In this study, a novel tool named VRPharmer is proposed to perform the entire VS workflow in VR environments. VRPharmer enables users to interactively perceive computation processes and immersively observe molecular structures. Besides a typical screening mode (OPT mode), VRPharmer provides a unique interactive screening mode (SCORE mode) for freely exploring the optimal binding poses. Pharmacophore models are editable to study the impact of each feature and further refine the screening results. Moreover, molecular rendering algorithms are improved for precise representations. VRPharmer is open-source software under the MIT license. The released version is available at https://github.com/VRPharmer/VRPharmer. Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

Differences in Art Appreciation in Autism: A Measure of Reduced Intuitive Processing

Art appreciation reflects an initial emotional and intuitive response to artwork evaluation, although this intuitive evaluation can be attenuated by subsequent deliberation. The Dual Process Theory of Autism proposes that individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) have a greater propensity to deliberate and reduced intuition compared to matched controls. Evaluations of high- and low-quality artworks were undertaken by 107 individuals with a diagnosis of ASD and 145 controls. Controls consistently evaluated high-quality artworks to be much better quality than the low-quality artworks, reflecting intuitive processing. The ASD sample showed a reduced difference in evaluations between high- versus low-quality artwork, which reflects reduced intuitive processing and greater deliberative processing and is consistent with predictions by the Dual Process Theory of Autism.

Digitalization of Knowledge Development in the Media Industry

Disruption in the global media and publishing industry is prevalent due to digitalization and new business models. The Scandinavian media market have already for a decade experienced disruptive technology and digital changes. The old highly profitable two-sided business model of both selling newspapers and adds has evaporated. Remaining is a freemium or even worse – a free content and a small margin from selling online advertisements. To compensate for revenue reduction the media organizations digitalize, and consequently have made a lot of media workers redundant. To create competitive advantage in this digital landscape, the players in the media industry needs to utilize big data analytics to make better decisions and to learn. It requires media organizations to gather, process, and act on a lot of information by combining digital multisided platforms. To know customer preferences and behavior there is a strong need to analyze, learn and explore rich information sources. They also need to be better at knowledge management to transform insight from data to organizational changes. To date there is limited empirical research detailing this learning process involving big data analytics and knowledge management. We offer insight from a case study of one of Norway’s larger publishing houses, with ownership in several newspapers and online media platforms. The case study was conducted during 2021 and is based on 10 different interviews with newspaper editors, journalists, commercial managers, and business analysts. Learning is an essential part of developing dynamic capabilities and this study is built on frameworks developed on knowledge development by applying the 4Iorganizational learning framework as an analytical lens. Our findings reveal important triggers and barriers for use of digital analytical tools and organizational learning processes. Especially intuiting, by providing more granularity to this dimension of the 4I framework corresponding better to the contemporary digitalized organizational reality. From this in-depth study of big data we gain insight into organizational learning from the intuition process. What triggers information retrieval can be categorized in three different areas: Strategic, Development and Cooperative aspects. In terms of strategic, availability of analytical tools is a crucial factor for a data-driven publishing business. From a development perspective, hypothesis-testing, developing new business models and new services is the core of big data analytics. The last dimension identified is cooperation as it is easier to find a common ground and direction for the organization. Big data analytics creates a coordination element in the organization. Although big data is a frequent business concept, relatively few articles address the challenges of using business analytical tools for understanding how organizations convert knowledge and learn and from big data.

Intuitive Dynamics: The Inscription of Time in MnG House

For a decade, the architectural work of an architect Pornchai Boonsom has been based on an exploration in ‘time’ and ‘dynamic movement’ of interactive forces in the context of Postmodernism and Consumerism in Thailand. His MnG House in Bangkok, completed in 2002, is a reflection of a new thinking in science, particularly an experiment on Henri Bergson’s philosophical concepts of the evolution of time and dynamic process of intuition. In the early twentieth century, Bergson proposed what became the great breakthrough against the classical biology of Charles Darwin - the theory of evolution. He introduced a new notion of time as a ceaseless flow or flux – not a discrete unit. This concept has changed the way we understand life and universe, and the way we spatially conceive and perceive architecture through a linear time. Bergson’s another concept of intuition psychologically explains how we understand the reality of the world as a continual flow of life. Pornchai Boonsom’s MnG House reflects the Bergsonian worldview both in architectural geometryand spatial expression. The house could be defined as ‘the inscription or the writing of time’ througharchitectural productions: an exemplar work manifesting a continual change of form without a beginningor an end.

Self-Distancing Moderates the Effect of Incidental Fear vs. Anger on Risk Taking and Loss Aversion

Studies have shown that incidental and normatively irrelevant emotions can carry over and bias decisions. However, people respond to and manage their emotions in different ways. Thus, incidental emotional influences might depend on how individuals regulate their emotions. In a preregistered experiment, we examined how the regulation of fear and anger impacts risk-taking and information processing in a task that mimics complexity and uncertainty. Drawing on the appraisal tendency framework, we propose that fear and anger lead to opposite effects on risk-taking and that these effects are moderated by decision makers’ use of a tactic of emotion regulation known as self-distancing. Participants were asked to recall and describe a fear-inducing or anger-inducing event from either an immersed or self-distanced perspective. Next, they completed the Iowa Gambling Task for our measure of risk-taking. A series of linear mixed random-effects models supported our hypotheses. First, incidental fear reduced risk-taking relative to incidental anger, and this effect reversed among participants who engaged in self-distancing. Second, self-distancing reduced reliance on intuitive information processing during the task. Third, analytical (but not intuitive) processing was negatively related to risk-taking. Finally, exploratory analyses revealed that fearful and angry people’s choices were driven more by their sensitivity to losses and gains than their sensitivity to risk. Incidental fear led to an aversion to decks associated with frequent losses.

Under the Spell of Charisma: Attributions of Charisma Leave People confident but Uncritical

When people attribute charisma to a leader, they often choose to follow that leader. Surprisingly little is known, however, about how the charisma attribution process facilitates followership. Here, we draw on evidence from psychology and neurophysiology to suggest that when people attribute charisma to a leader, it has two effects. First, people tend to rely on automatic and intuitive cognitive processes, which are less accurate than deliberate and reflective cognitive processes. Second, people tend to experience more positive affect, which increases their confidence in the accuracy of their cognitive processes. Thus, when people attribute charisma to leaders, they suffer from less accurate cognition without noticing. Filled with positive emotion, people then choose to follow charismatic leaders, believing that they have accurately processed the leaders’ message when in fact, they have not. Evidence from three experimental studies involving 648 participants provides general support for these propositions. By discovering how charismatic leadership deteriorates cognition, increases confidence, and ultimately, facilitates followership, we advance our understanding of how charismatic leadership works.

Conceptualisation and conscience assessment in adolescence in forensic mental healthcare: experts’ perspectives

ABSTRACT Child and adolescent psychology and psychiatry healthcare guidelines recommend a structured clinical assessment of conscience of juveniles displaying antisocial behaviour to substantiate the allocation of treatment or penal sanctions. The scientific literature on conscience development is accumulating, yet no widely accepted, integrative clinical instrument for assessment of conscience is available. Consequently, clinicians assess conscience, utilising their acquired knowledge and experience. Resulting in a largely intuitive process that varies vastly among professionals. This study aimed to gather and explicate the implicit knowledge of experienced clinicians on the assessment of adolescent conscience. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with seven clinical experts working in various Dutch (forensic) mental health organisations. Using a five-phase systematic and structured content analysis, the framework method was applied to explore the techniques and concepts used by clinical experts. The concepts they used grossly matched the concepts found in the literature. We identified three pivotal domains: empathic capacity, self-conscious emotions, and moral reasoning. Moreover, the data suggested to consider these domains expressing the overarching concept of self-image or identity. These results will enable the design of a clinically based, comprehensive instrument to improve the quality of the assessment of conscience in the context of child and adolescent forensic psychiatric healthcare.

Inline Weld Depth Evaluation and Control Based on OCT Keyhole Depth Measurement and Fuzzy Control

In an industrial joining process, exemplified by deep penetration laser beam welding, ensuring a high quality of welds requires a great effort. The quality cannot be fully established by testing, but can only be produced. The fundamental requirements for a high weld seam quality in laser beam welding are therefore already laid in the process, which makes the use of control systems essential in fully automated production. With the aid of process monitoring systems that can supply data inline to a production process, the foundation is laid for the efficient and cycle-time-neutral control of welding processes. In particular, if novel, direct measurement methods, such as Optical Coherence Tomography, are used for the acquisition of direct geometric quantities, e.g., the weld penetration depth, a significant control potential can be exploited. In this work, an inline weld depth control system based on an OCT keyhole depth measurement is presented. The system is capable of automatically executing an inline control of the deep penetration welding process based only on a specified target weld depth. The performance of the control system was demonstrated on various aluminum alloys and for different penetration depths. In addition, the ability of the control to respond to unforeseen external disturbances was tested. Within the scope of this work, it was thus possible to provide an outlook on future developments in the field of laser welding technology, which could develop in the direction of an intuitive manufacturing process. This objective should be accomplished through the use of intelligent algorithms and innovative measurement technology—following the example of laser beam cutting, where the processing systems themselves have been provided with the ability to select suitable process parameters for several years now.

Choice experiment selection of tourism destinations in a dual process theory framework: The role of decision style and potential to promote deliberation.

Models of consumer choice that assume rational decision processes are too simplistic, as they ignore intuitive processes and combinations of intuition and rationality. In dual process theory, System 1 processes are intuitive, fast, require low cognitive effort, and involve autonomous systems, while System 2 processes are deliberative, slower, reflect greater cognitive effort, and involve controlled attention. The dual process framework facilitates understanding of decision processes that may be diverse and complex. Based on response time as an indicator of System 2 use, we fill gaps in the tourism and choice experiment literatures by i) assessing the dimensionality of a decision style scale and its role in predicting System 2 use and ii) assessing whether researcher interventions, such as instructions, can promote System 2 use. The study is based on survey-based choice experiment responses of 483 domestic and international visitors across two Norwegian nature-based tourism destination contexts. Each visitor completed four choice experiment tasks for a total of 1,932 choice occasions. Results indicated diversity in extent of System 2 use. The decision style scale was multidimensional with both the intuitive and rational subscales predicting response time. We encourage inclusion of decision style scales–and specifically multidimensional scales–in future tourism choice and choice experiment applications. Statistically significant coefficients for instructions and unhurriedness suggest potential for researchers to increase System 2 processing in survey tasks. We encourage future use of this intervention, especially when survey tasks are intended to replicate “real world” decisions that rely heavily on System 2 use.

Extortion, intuition, and the dark side of reciprocity

Extortion occurs when one person uses some combination of threats and promises to extract an unfair share of benefits from another. Although extortion is a pervasive feature of human interaction, it has received relatively little attention in psychological research. But, we argue, extortion is structured quite similarly to far better-studied “reciprocal” social behaviors, such as conditional cooperation and retributive punishment. All of these strategies function to elicit some desirable behavior from a social partner and do so by constructing conditional incentives. The main difference is that the desired behavioral response is an unfair or unjust allocation of resources during extortion, whereas it is typically assumed to be a fair or just distribution of resources in studies of reciprocal cooperation and punishment. Thus, we propose that a common set of psychological mechanisms may render these strategies successful. We know from prior work that prosocial forms of reciprocity often work best when implemented inflexibly and intuitively, rather than deliberatively. This both affords long-term commitment to the reciprocal strategy, and also signals this commitment to social partners. We argue that, for the same reasons, extortion is likely to depend largely upon inflexible, intuitive psychological processes. Several existing lines of circumstantial evidence support this conjecture.
