Presentation technique for bicycle safety information system and its effectiveness verification

In this study, we conducted bicycle riding experiments that focus on the method of information presentation by an automated system to cyclists, with the intent to design an information system related to bicycle safety information. In an evaluation of information presentation, we confirmed that auditory presentation was the most effective from the viewpoints of both recognition and comprehension. In addition, information presented using the auditory method was more likely to be recognized than information presented using the visual and tactile method combined. The results of the analysis of variance for recognition showed that the visual presentation method had no significant effect. In addition, the experiments involved behavioral observation using the system and a questionnaire survey on changes in behavior before and after experiencing the system. The results showed that information was correctly conveyed by the system using a combination of auditory, tactile, and visual presentation methods, regardless of the users' degree of awareness of the system. Two weeks after the experiment, a survey was conducted to investigate the changes in the participants' awareness and behavior regarding risky or illegal riding. The results showed an improvement in the awareness of risky or illegal riding in daily life and an increase in right behavior, confirming the effectiveness of this system. Consequently, the results demonstrate the effectiveness of the system and provide knowledge for realizing a bicycle riding safety support information system.

Inflammatory bowel disease patients’ perspectives of non-medical needs

BackgroundInflammatory bowel disease (IBD) imposes a huge burden on the healthcare systems and greatly declines the patient’s quality of life. However, there is a paucity of detailed data regarding information and supportive needs as well as sources and methods of obtaining information to control different aspects of the disease from the perspectives of the patients themselves. This study aimed to establish the IBD patients’ preferences of informational and supportive needs through Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA).MethodsIBD patients were recruited from different centers. Considering inclusion and exclusion criteria, 521 participants were filled a predefined questionnaire. This questionnaire was prepared through literature review of the recent well-known guidelines on the needs of IBD patients, which was further approved by the experts of IBD area in three rounds of Delphi consensus. It includes 56 items in four sections of informational needs (25), supportive needs (15), sources of information (7), and methods of obtaining information (9).ResultsIn particular, EFA was used to apply data reduction and structure detection. Given that this study tries to identify patterns, structures as well as inter-relationships and classification of the variables, EFA was utilized to simplify presentation of the variables in a way that large amounts of observations transform into fewer ones. Accordingly, the EFA identified five factors out of 25 items in the information needs section, three factors out of 15 items in the supportive needs section, two factors out of 7 items in the information sources section, and two factors out of 9 items in the information presentation methods. Through the CFA, all 4 models were supported by Root Mean Squared Error of Approximation (RMSEA); Incremental Fit Index (IFI); Comparative Fit Index (CFI); Tucker-Lewis Index (TLI); and SRMR. These values were within acceptable ranges, indicating that the twelve factors achieved from EFA were validated.ConclusionsThis study introduced a reliable 12-factor model as an efficient tool to comprehensively identify preferences of IBD patients in informational and supportive needs along with sources and methods of obtaining information. An in-depth understanding of the needs of IBD patients facilitates informing and supporting health service provision. It also assists patients in a fundamental way to improve adaptation and increase the quality of life. We suggest that health care providers consider the use of this tool in clinical settings in order to precisely assess its efficacy.

Is the Electroconvulsive Therapy Video on YouTube Supportive Information for Patients and Their Primary Caregivers?

Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a significant contemporary medical treatment modality for various mental disorders that have not responded to other treatments. YouTube is a valuable place to get health-related educational content that can have a big impact on patients' and their primary caregivers' behaviors and decisions. The aim of the study is to analyze the content of YouTube videos related to ECT to investigate the quality and reliability of videos as supportive information for patients and their primary caregivers. A total of 250 videos related to ECT that are available on YouTube were analyzed. The Global Quality Scale and the modified DISCERN tool were used to assess the quality and reliability of the videos. Details of the content of the video, caregiver appearance, methods of information presentation, source of the video, and video parameters were analyzed as well. The analysis revealed that the median total score of Global Quality Scale was 3 (interquartile range, 2; min-max, 1-5), which means the video quality was medium. The median total score of the modified DISCERN tool was 3 (interquartile range, 1; min-max, 0-5), which means the videos were highly reliable. Most of the video sources in the included videos were educational (41.2%, n = 103) from formal caregivers, and there was no significant difference between Global Quality Scale scores, video parameters, and modified DISCERN scores. YouTube is considered a supportive source of information related to ECT but needs more encouragement from formal caregivers to disseminate high-quality and reliable healthcare content on YouTube platforms to ensure access to accurate information.

Examining how information presentation methods and a chatbot impact the use and effectiveness of electronic health record patient portals: An exploratory study

ObjectivesExamining information presentation strategies that may facilitate patient education through patient portals is important for effective health education. MethodsA randomized exploratory study evaluated information presentation (text or videos) and a chatbot in patient education and examined several performance and outcome variables (e.g., search duration, Decisional Conflict Scale, and eye-tracking measures), along with a simple descriptive qualitative content analysis of the transcript of chatbot. ResultsOf the 92 participants, those within the text conditions (n = 46, p < 0.001), had chatbot experiences (B =−74.85, p = 0.046), knew someone with IBD (B =−98.66, p = 0.039), and preferred to engage in medical decision-making (B =102.32, p = 0.006) were more efficient in information-searching. Participants with videos spent longer in information-searching (mean=666.5 (SD=171.6) VS 480.3 (SD=159.5) seconds, p < 0.001) but felt more informed (mean score=18.8 (SD=17.6) VS 27.4 (SD=18.9), p = 0.027). The participants’ average eye fixation duration with videos was significantly higher (mean= 473.8 ms, SD=52.9, p < 0.001). ConclusionsParticipants in video conditions were less efficient but more effective in information seeking. Exploring the trade-offs between efficiency and effectiveness for user interface designs is important to appropriately deliver education within patient portals. Practice implicationsThis study suggests that user interface designs and chatbots impact health information’s efficiency and effectiveness.

The preferred IT sources and tools of Iranian people for accessing health information

IntroductionPeople need health information to maintain their health. Despite the variety of sources and tools for providing health information, there is little evidence about Iranian people's preferences in using these sources and tools. The objective of this study was to identify the preferred health information sources, tools, and methods for presenting health information in these tools.MethodsThis national survey was conducted among a sample of 4000 Iranian people between April and September 2021. The data was collected using a valid and reliable questionnaire (α = 0.86) consisting of four sections: participants' demographic information, current sources of obtaining health information, preferred information technology (IT) tools for accessing health information, and the method of presenting this information. Linear regression was used to investigate the relationship between demographic factors and other questions.ResultsThe participants received health information mostly from the "Internet" (3.62), "family or friends" (3.43), "social networks" (3.41), "specific websites" (3.41), and "mobile apps" (3.27). "Social networks" (3.67), Internet "websites" (3.56), and "mobile apps" (3.50) were the most suitable tools for receiving health information. The participants preferred the presentation of health information in the form of "Images" (3.85), "educational videos" (3.69), and "texts" (3.53). Age, education, and marital status had a significant relationship with most of the preferred information sources, tools, and information presentation methods (p < 0.05).ConclusionThe results of this study showed that Iranian people are more active information seekers than passive ones compared to a decade ago. The preferred sources and tools identified in this research can be used by healthcare planners and policy-makers in Iran and other developing countries to design and develop IT interventions that meet people's needs. Improving access to the Internet, social networks, and mobile apps and providing health information via images, educational videos, and texts on these platforms enhance access to the information people need.

Abstract. Introduction. In modern scientific works on economics and management, the concept of "cognitive" is increasingly common, with the help of which the authors draw attention to the management of the process of continuous learning on the basis of various collective experiences, overcoming organizational resistance, management of corporate knowledge as the most important resource and, accordingly, the key direction of development enterprises. Cognitive management is considered to be the management of the process of cognition, as a result of which knowledge is identified, accumulated, distributed and used for the purpose of developing one or another social system. In this regard, the study of theoretical and methodological aspects of cognitive management is timely and relevant. Purpose. The purpose of the study is to clarify and generalize the theoretical and methodological aspects of cognitive management. The theoretical and methodological basis of the work is a set of principles and methods of scientific research: the principle of systematization and theoretical generalization, graphic methods of information presentation. According to the goal, the task of analyzing scientific approaches to determining the essence of cognitive management and the effectiveness of the use of its tools by enterprises is set. The basis for the analysis was the scientific works of domestic and foreign scientists on the mentioned issues. Results. An analysis of conceptual views on cognitive management has been carried out, which makes it possible to identify characteristics, sources of managerial efficiency, and the basis for influencing the spheres of interests of enterprises. The methodical toolkit of cognitive modeling of managerial decision-making is considered. Cognitive maps of the simulation of possible states of the production system of the enterprise were built in order to form effective management decisions in the form of a formal model. Conclusions. Cognitive management is the basis for influencing the development of enterprises. The use of modeling technologies based on cognitive maps can be useful for the formation of effective management decisions, the analysis of problematic situations in the development of the enterprise, the development of strategic management decisions, etc.

Designing for Confidence: The Impact of Visualizing Artificial Intelligence Decisions.

Explainable artificial intelligence aims to bring transparency to artificial intelligence (AI) systems by translating, simplifying, and visualizing its decisions. While society remains skeptical about AI systems, studies show that transparent and explainable AI systems can help improve the Human-AI trust relationship. This manuscript presents two studies that assess three AI decision visualization attribution models that manipulate morphological clarity (MC) and two information presentation-order methods to determine each visualization’s impact on the Human-AI trust relationship through increased confidence and cognitive fit (CF). The first study, N = 206 (Avg. age = 37.87 ± 10.51, Male = 123), utilized information presentation methods and visualizations delivered through an online experiment to explore trust in AI by asking participants to complete a visual decision-making task. The second study, N = 19 (24.9 ± 8.3 years old, Male = 10), utilized eye-tracking technology and the same stimuli presentation methods to investigate if cognitive load, inferred through pupillometry measures, mediated the confidence-trust relationship. The results indicate that low MC positively impacts Human-AI trust and that the presentation order of information within an interface in terms of adjacency further influences user trust in AI. We conclude that while adjacency and MC significantly affect cognitive load, cognitive load alone does not mediate the confidence-trust relationship. Our findings interpreted through a combination of CF, situation awareness, and ecological interface design have implications for the design of future AI systems, which may facilitate better collaboration between humans and AI-based decision agents.

Information presentation method for teleoperated robots to support the multifaceted understanding of fire sites

Although the overall number of fires is decreasing, the number of special fires as buildings become larger, taller, and deeper and fires and spills in hazardous materials facilities such as petroleum complexes is on the rise and ensuring the safety of firefighters has become a problem. The use of teleoperated firefighting robots is expected to be a solution to this problem. It is important to be able to operate the robot well, recognize the environment, and make decisions on what actions to take to perform the firefighting more effectively. This is closely related to the design of human machine interface (HMI) for teleoperated robots, but much of the research on HMI for teleoperated robots is concerned with how to operate the robot and how to present the information that is needed for operation. In addition, as the overall number of fires is decreasing, young firefighters' (novices’) lack of experience in firefighting has become a problem. Therefore, teleoperated firefighting robots are required to have the HMI that enables supports to recognize the environment and make decisions in firefighting. This study presents an information presentation method that is based on the control mode in the contextual control model (COCOM) to ensure that novices can have multifaceted perspectives during reconnaissance and attenuation like experienced firefighters (experts). The effectiveness of this method is confirmed by 12 firefighters. As a result, this study confirms that the information presentation is designed considering the control mode in the COCOM, and it improves the score from multiple perspectives. The findings of this study will contribute to the future development of teleoperated firefighting robots.

Future Directions for Human-Centered Transparent Systems for Engine Room Monitoring in Shore Control Centers

Many autonomous ship projects have reflected the increasing interest in incorporating the concept of autonomy into the maritime transportation sector. However, autonomy is not a silver bullet, as exemplified by many incidents in the past involving human and machine interaction; rather it introduces new Human Factor (HF) challenges. These challenges are especially critical for Engine Room Monitoring (ERM) in Shore Control Centre (SCCs) due to the system’s complexity and the absence of human senses in the decision-making process. A transparent system is one of the potential solutions, providing a rationale behind its suggestion. However, diverse implementations of transparency schemes have resulted in prevalent inconsistencies in its effects. This literature review paper investigates 17 transparency studies published over the last eight years to identify (a) different approaches to developing transparent systems, (b) the effects of transparency on key HFs, and (c) the effects of information presentation methods and uncertainty information. The findings suggest that the explicit presentation of information could strengthen the benefits of the transparent system and could be promising for performance improvements in ERM tasks in the SCC.

Is precise description in advertising always better than vague ones? – From an accessibility-diagnosability theoretical perspective

PurposeThere is always a matching effect in advertising persuasion – the information that matches product characteristics or target consumer characteristics is considered to be relatively more persuasive. Based on the accessibility-diagnosability theory, this paper discusses the influence of the matching degree between the information presentation (vague description and precise description) and product attribute (vertical attribute and horizontal attribute) on people's attitudes toward advertising.Design/methodology/approachStudy 1 aims to explore the impact of the matching effect of different information presentation methods (precise presentation vs vague presentation) and product attribute (horizontal attribute vs vertical attribute) on consumers' attitudes toward advertising; secondary data was used to support this research. Study 2 mainly used the situational simulated experiment to examine the results of study 1, and further explored the mediating mechanism of its matching effect.FindingsThe authors found that the matching degree between the information presentation method and product attribute will positively affect the fluency of advertising information processing, that is, the use of vague description of product vertical attribute can positively affect consumers' extraction fluency; while the use of precise description of product horizontal attribute can positively affect consumers' processing fluency, and both extraction fluency and processing fluency will positively affect consumers' attitude toward the advertisement.Originality/valueAn essential enlightenment of the research is that it sheds light on the interaction between product attribute (vertical attribute vs horizontal attribute) with the information presentation method (vague description vs precise description) from the perspective of accessibility-diagnosability theory, which explains consumers' information processing mechanisms in dealing with different advertising information.

Classification of Eye Tracking Data in Visual Information Processing Tasks Using Convolutional Neural Networks and Feature Engineering

Eye tracking technology has been adopted in numerous studies in the field of human–computer interaction (HCI) to understand visual and display-based information processing as well as the underlying cognitive processes employed by users when navigating a computer interface. Analyzing eye tracking data can also help identify interaction patterns with regard to salient regions of an information display. Deep learning technology is increasingly being used in the analysis of eye tracking data by allowing for the classification of large amounts of eye tracking results. In this paper, eye tracking data and convolutional neural networks (CNNs) were used to perform a classification task to predict three types of information presentation methods. As a first step, a number of data preprocessing and feature engineering approaches were applied to eye tracking data collected through a controlled visual information processing experiment. The resulting data were used as input for the comparison of four CNN models with different architectures. In this experiment, two CNN models were effective in classifying the information presentations with overall accuracy greater than 80%.

Effect of the Affordances of the FM New Media Communication Interface Design for Smartphones.

Smartphone equipment has promoted the widespread use of new media communication, and users have changed from being passive to actively receiving information. This has changed people’s lifestyles, and has enriched the convenience and entertainment value of knowledge acquisition. However, the new media communication systems can be too complex, and the interface design for users to interact with the new media may not be sufficiently intuitive, which causes interface usability problems. Therefore, this research study focuses on the concept of affordance and the impact of user perception pertinent to smartphone applications on frequency modulation (FM) new media interface design. The experiment is a between-subjects design using one-way ANOVA to examine three different operation modes, namely the Litchi, Himalayas and Archimedes types. The experimental data were obtained through task performance and subjective evaluation. The results indicate that: (1) Visual information presentation methods, such as viewing and deleting, affect user perception. The three operating modes revealed significant differences, with the Himalayas type taking the least amount of task performance time. (2) There were significant differences among the different operation modes, with the Himalayas type the best in terms of the users’ subjective evaluation. (3) The overall analysis of task performance and satisfaction consistently showed that the Himalayas type was better than the Litchi and Archimedes types in all aspects. (4) Smartphone user interface applications provide users with cognitive support, objects, functions, and sensory affordance, which enhance the user’s interactive experience of FM new media.

The influence of interactive and static infographics on the academic achievement of reflective and impulsive students

This article examines the influence of static/interactive infographics on reflective/impulsive students’ academic achievement. The study sample consisted of 80 undergraduate students who were divided into two groups according to their cognitive style (reflective/impulsive). Each group was further divided into two sub-groups based on the type of infographics (static/interactive) to be evaluated. The findings showed that interactive infographics are more effective than static infographics in improving academic achievement. Reflective students outperformed impulsive students in terms of academic achievement, and there was a significant interaction between interactive infographics and reflective students. This study may serve as a guide for educators and designers of learning resources in selecting the most appropriate forms of technology conforming to students’ varying cognitive styles.&#x0D; Implications for practice or policy:&#x0D; &#x0D; The designers of e-learning environments must focus on the cognitive style of each learner. The design of those environments must take into account the diversity of information presentation methods to meet the various cognitive styles.&#x0D; Students' academic achievement can be improved by the use of interactive infographics due to their richness in material, multimedia approach, and interactivity that stimulate and communicate with learners’ senses and positively affect their acquisition of information.&#x0D;
