Multimodal Hong Kong: a multisensory study of environmental perception of places through sight, sound, and smell

Despite the importance of soundscape and smellscape in intangible cultural heritage, little is known about multisensory interactions. To explore the impact of multiple senses on environmental perception, the present study focused on six stalls at Shek Kip Mei wet market in Hong Kong. In the first part of the study, an online survey collected perceptual ratings of whole, auditory, and visual environmental quality, as well as free-form responses of imaginations of smell. Participants (N = 36) were presented with 12 audiovisual captures where audio was either matched with video or mismatched. ANOVA was used to examine the influence of three independent factors - scenes, modes, and a priori valence groups - on the ratings. The imagined smells were analysed through frequency counts of keywords. The results demonstrate participants' capacity to notice changes in audio modes and to perceive the environment through the recognition of scene context and multisensory interactions. In the second part of the study, not discussed in the present paper, we will extend this experimental method to include smells in a laboratory setting. We discuss the importance of understanding multisensory interactions between sight, sound, and smell for environmental perceptions and Hong Kong's intangible cultural heritage and urban studies.

Graphic association learning: Multimodal feature extraction and fusion of image and text using artificial intelligence techniques

With the advancement of technology in recent years, the application of artificial intelligence in real life has become more extensive. Graphic recognition is a hot spot in the current research of related technologies. It involves machines extracting key information from pictures and combining it with natural language processing for in-depth understanding. Existing methods still have obvious deficiencies in fine-grained recognition and deep understanding of contextual context. Addressing these issues to achieve high-quality image-text recognition is crucial for various application scenarios, such as accessibility technologies, content creation, and virtual assistants. To tackle this challenge, a novel approach is proposed that combines the Mask R-CNN, DCGAN, and ALBERT models. Specifically, the Mask R-CNN specializes in high-precision image recognition and segmentation, the DCGAN captures and generates nuanced features from images, and the ALBERT model is responsible for deep natural language processing and semantic understanding of this visual information. Experimental results clearly validate the superiority of this method. Compared to traditional image-text recognition techniques, the recognition accuracy is improved from 85.3% to 92.5%, and performance in contextual and situational understanding is enhanced. The advancement of this technology has far-reaching implications for research in machine vision and natural language processing and open new possibilities for practical applications.

Exploring Algerian Teachers’ Digital Literacy under the CBA: Case of EFL Secondary School Teachers

Teachers’ digital literacy has become a sine qua non in today’s educational landscape. However, the research on this critical skill remains relatively scarce, particularly considering the growing recognition of context’s pivotal role in shaping competencies. Besides, the existing body of literature highlights a concerning deficiency in integrating Information and Communication Technology (ICT) within English as a Foreign Language (EFL) classrooms under the Competency-Based Approach (CBA). This study aims to explore EFL secondary school teachers’ digital literacy in the Algerian context, namely under the CBA. Using a mixed methods design and random clustered sampling, thirty-nine secondary school EFL teachers participated in this study. They filled out a questionnaire adapted from the DigCompEdu framework and partook in semi-structured interviews. Data analysis involved SPSS V22 for quantitative aspects and thematic analysis for qualitative insights. The results reveal a noticeable discrepancy between teachers’ overall digital literacy and their digital literacy within the CBA. This disparity is explained by the outdated curriculum which places minimal emphasis on digital competencies. Moreover, the numerous challenges that surround the CBA in the Algerian classroom undermine teachers’ development of their digital literacy. However, the study underlines the significance of project work as the optimum CBA component that motivates teachers to enhance their digital skills. Practical seminars and special digital literacy programs along with continuous updates to EFL curricula are needed to aid teachers in coping with the exponential evolution of technology within the education realm.

Perspectives on early childhood development in China: key dimensions and contextual contributions.

The recognition of culture and context as pivotal influences on the developmental trajectory of young children has been underscored by numerous developmental theories. Localized knowledge is essential for comprehending cultural universality with specificity for early childhood development (ECD). Thirteen focus group discussions were conducted with professionals, caregivers, and teachers from four regions in China. Thematic content analysis was employed to identify patterns and themes, followed by coding to identify more conceptual units of meaning. The findings reveal distinct culture-based skills across four domains of ECD in China. These highlight a local culture that embraces a comprehensive, dynamic, and staged perspective on the development of young children. This study elucidates the multidimensional impact of the environment on young children's development, with a focus on children's behavioral characteristics and temperament traits, ECEC practices, and ECEC beliefs that transcend identity, culture, and the economy. This study contributes to the assessment of ECD for future cultural comparisons and enhances the scientific understanding of the interplay between developmental skills in young children and diverse cultural expectations and backgrounds.

Dynamism of context: A case of joke interpretation

Abstract While the recognition of context as a dynamic construct is pervasive, the process of selecting context during utterance comprehension in real time remains largely unexamined. This paper addresses this issue by exploring the dynamism of context as part of joke interpretation. We assume a relevance-theoretic definition of context understood as a set of mental representations involved in inferential processes that operate on a propositionally incomplete linguistic form and yield a speaker-intended meaning, consisting of the explicit and implicit import. We also adopt a model of joke comprehension combining the standard notion of incongruity resolution with that of weak communication, positing that when the punchline comes there is a broad array of assumptions that suddenly become manifest to the hearer, as a result of which he experiences an effect of inferential overload. This effect hinges on the ability to obtain access to, or to inferentially construct contextual assumptions that were previously not immediately accessible to the hearer or not represented in their cognitive resources at all. By analysing jokes of various structure (with or without a build-up, one-liners) we explore details of the dynamism of context selection and construction, in which the hearer’s encyclopaedic knowledge is essential. We provide arguments in favour of the view of context as an entity dependent on the hearer’s mental representations, inferential abilities and the universal drive to maximize relevance in utterance comprehension.

Hospice Family Caregivers' Uncertainty, Burden, and Unmet Needs in Prospective Audio Diaries.

Hospice cancer caregivers' (HCCs') burden and unmet needs are well documented in the literature through retrospective, standardized self-report surveys. Hospice cancer caregiver daily experiences of burden and unmet needs are rarely captured within a real-time context. The purpose of this secondary data analysis was to characterize HCCs' day-to-day burden and unmet needs with prospective HCC (N = 50) audio diary data between hospice enrollment and patient death. Uncertainty theory provided a framework for analysis. Diaries were transcribed, analyzed deductively and inductively, and organized thematically. Uncertainty in day-to-day experiences was an important driver of HCC burden and unmet needs. Unmet needs included unclear/unmet expectations regarding hospice care team support; not understanding the extent of HCC role and involvement; and communication challenges with hospice team members. Sources of HCCs' burden were dissonance between how they "should" feel and how they actually felt; feeling alone/having no outlet to express feelings; concerns about their own health and subsequent patient impact; and feeling helpless/occupying a liminal space. Uncertainty surrounding HCCs' experiences encompassed interactions with hospice care teams and the nature of end-of-life caregiving with symptom management, the dying process, and the HCC role. Hospice care teams can respond to uncertainty through assessment, understanding, and recognition of the daily context of HCCs.

Teacher learning as a polyphonic endeavor: A context sensitive model of teacher professional development

ABSTRACT Despite an increasing interest in the sociocultural aspects of teacher professional development and the recognition of context in teacher education, there is a lack of a conceptualisation of how professional learning occurs within and across various contexts. To this aim, we take up a view of professional learning that is dialogic and apply the concept of ‘polyphony’ to conceptualise teacher practice and teacher professional learning as the teacher’s orchestration of multiple voices within context. Inviting ‘polyphony’ to the realm of teacher education refers to the composition of multiple co-existing contextual affordances and constraints affecting teacher practice. It is the multitude of various and at times disagreeing voices surrounding teacher practice. Our proposed model offers a reflexive definition of ‘teacher agency’ that involves the recognition of the voices that the teacher draws upon so that they can be interrogated and deliberately invoked or suppressed in practice for particular contexts. We discuss two methodological implications including a polyphonic design methodology of professional learning opportunities, and a polyphonic education research method in addressing the problem of teachers’ implementation and adjustment to new practices.

Exposure Therapy with a First-Generation, Latino Transgender Man: A Dialectical Behavior and Feminist Therapy Framework

Transgender and Gender Expansive (TGE) individuals with multiple marginalized identities are at increased risk of minority stress and trauma because of intersecting systems of oppression, such as transphobia and racism. There is limited evidence-based guidance for TGE individuals experiencing trauma, especially TGE individuals of color. This case study describes the implementation of Prolonged Exposure and informal emotion exposure with a first-generation Latino transgender man using a Feminist Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy lens. Seven clinical considerations drawing from the integration of these approaches are discussed, including recognition of the sociocultural context in shaping the client’s behaviors, balancing flexibility and accountability, and balancing exposure with validation of avoidance.

Neurocognitive effects of binge drinking on verbal episodic memory. An ERP study in university students.

Background: Verbal memory may be affected by engagement in alcohol binge drinking during youth, according to the findings of neuropsychological studies. However, little is known about the dynamics of the neural activity underlying this cognitive process in young, heavy drinkers. Aims: To investigate brain event-related potentials associated with cued recall from episodic memory in binge drinkers and controls. Methods: Seventy first-year university students were classified as binge drinkers (32: 17 female) or controls (38: 18 female). The participants completed a verbal paired associates learning task during electroencephalogram (EEG) recording. ERPs elicited by old and new word pairs were extracted from the cued-recall phase of the task by using Principal Component Analysis. Subjects also performed a standardized neuropsychological verbal learning test. Results: Two of the three event-related potentials components indicating old/new memory effects provided evidence for anomalies associated with binge drinking. The old/new effects were absent in the binge drinkers in the two subsequent posterior components, identified with the late parietal component and the late posterior negativity The late frontal component revealed similar old/new effects in both groups. Binge drinkers showed similar behavioural performance to controls in the verbal paired associates task, but performed poorly in the more demanding short-term cued-recall trial of a neuropsychological standardized test. Conclusion: Event-related potentials elicited during a verbal cued-recall task revealed differences in brain functioning between young binge drinkers and controls that may underlie emergent deficits in episodic memory linked to alcohol abuse. The brain activity of binge drinkers suggests alterations in the hippocampal - posterior parietal cortex circuitry subserving recognition and recollection of the cue context and generation of the solution, in relation to verbal information shallowly memorised.

Youth empowerment in health: a theoretical structure of literacy practices.

To develop a theoretical structure on literacy practices committed to health empowerment, based on the understanding of school adolescents and members of a Quilombola community in the State of Pernambuco, Brazil. Interpretative analysis, based on the assumptions of the Grounded Theory and Symbolic Interactionism. For data collection, Culture Circles were conducted with 18 adolescents from October 2020 to August 2021. The theoretical archetype is structured based on the recognition of vulnerable youth context, and the development of potential through collective relations built by dialogue, trust, shared knowledge construction, and the use of technologies. The theoretical structure on literacy practices committed to empowerment through the understanding of adolescents runs through the framework of a substantive theory that culminates in a perspective of agency and recognition of their needs.

Psitacose e Saúde Ocupacional

Introduction/framework/objectives Psittacosis is a rare entity caused by Chlamydophila psittaci. This bacterium is transmitted through contact with contaminated birds, namely psittaciformes, which include parrots, macaws and parakeets, as pigeons and chickens. The objective of this work is to highlight the pathology and the role of Occupational Health in it. Methodology A bibliographic search was carried out on original articles published in Portuguese and English, in June 2022, in the PubMed and Cochrane Library databases, using the keywords “Psittacosis”, “Occupational exposure” and “Occupational health”. Three articles were also included, not covered by the research, relevant to the work, for reporting the Portuguese reality. Contents Outbreaks can occur in workers with occupations that involve contact with live birds or carcasses, such as veterinarians, breeders, or pet store workers. However, it is difficult to establish the precise incidence and prevalence of psittacosis, probably due to the lack of routine screening. Transmission occurs mainly by aerosols, inhalation of urine, feces or other contaminated particles; transmission between humans, although possible, is rare. The incubation period ranges from five to 14 days, but may extend to weeks in cases of subacute or latent infection. It has a clinical presentation like a flu-like syndrome and can cause disseminated and even potentially fatal disease. The most frequent findings on chest radiography are segmental or lobar consolidation, especially in the lower lobes. It can occasionally cause marked leukocytosis, c-reactive protein (CRP) is often elevated, and liver enzymes change in approximately half of hospitalized patients, with elevation of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and low serum albumin levels. Tetracyclines are the drug of choice for treatment. Discussion and Conclusions Although the number of cases is apparently small, the impact of the disease is most likely underestimated. Thus, it is necessary to increase the awareness of this pathology both for Occupational Health professionals and for employers and workers themselves. On the other hand, an approach is needed that encompasses collaboration between human and animal health agencies, laboratories and medical and veterinary professionals, for timely surveillance, reporting and treatment. Thus, anamnesis and early recognition of the epidemiological context are extremely important, with a view to diagnosing and instituting appropriate therapy. In addition, occupational risk factors and exposure control among workers should be considered to prevent transmission in the workplace. KEYWORDS: psittacosis, occupational exposure, occupational health.

Death in abundance versus life in abundance in the context of COVID-19 and poverty: A practical theological reflection on pastoral accompaniment during the grieving process

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is currently holding the whole world hostage. It has led to the death of millions accross the world and thousands in South Africa. On the surface, it looks like there is an abundance of death in contrast to an abundance of life. Many of those who have lost their loved ones are being left to grieve alone without appropriate pastoral accompaniment by their pastors and other trained pastoral caregivers. In this article, written from a practical theological perspective, it is argued that those who are grieving as a result of the loss of loved ones must be pastorally accompanied. Pastors should be empowered in order to journey with the grieving persons in the context of COVID-19 and poverty. They should also be empowered to equip others who join them in the responsibility of pastorally accompanying the grieving as they transition through various stages of grief. Pastoral accompaniment should happen with due recognition of the socioeconomic context of South Africa and the context in which traditional and cultural practices of Africans persist amid opposition from churches.Contribution: This article, which is written from a practical theological perspective and using an interdisciplinary approach, contributes to discourse on pastoral care and particularly pastoral accompaniment of those who are going through various stages of grieving in the context of poverty and COVID-19.

Classification based on dynamic mode decomposition applied to brain recognition of context

Local Field Potentials (LFPs) are easy to access electrical signals of the brain that represent the summation in the extracellular space, of currents originated within the neurons. As such, LFPs could contain information about ongoing computations in neuronal circuits and could potentially be used to design brain machine interface algorithms. However how brain computations could be decoded from LFPs is not clear. Within this context, a methodology for signal classification is proposed in this study, particularly based on the Dynamic Mode Decomposition method, in conjunction with binary clustering routines based on supervised learning. Note that, although the classification methodology is presented here in the context of a biological problem, it can be applied to a broad range of applications. Then, as a case-study, the proposed method is validated with the classification of LFP-based brain cognitive states. All the analysis, signals, and results shown in this study consider real data measured in the hippocampus, in rats performing exploration tasks. Consequently, it is shown that, using the measured LFP, the method infers which context was the animal exploring. Thus, evidence on the spatial codification in LFP signals is consequently provided, which still is an open question in neuroscience.

Ecological impacts of an invasive mesopredator do not differ from those of a native mesopredator: lionfish in Caribbean Panama

The impacts of invasive lionfish (Pterois volitans/miles) on native coral reef populations in the Western Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea can be enormous. However, how much lionfish differ from native predators and whether their effects outweigh the abundant mesopredators that occupy many reefs invite continued examination. Here, we present empirical evidence from Caribbean Panama and beyond suggesting that lionfish are less abundant than native mesopredators. Furthermore, we show that their direct impacts on survivorship and size distributions of one native prey species are similar to those of a native mesopredator. These results support calls for lionfish management that considers evolving local ecological and social dynamics, including prey community composition, the roles of native mesopredators, and regional goals for conservation and fisheries. Recognition of regional context creates the potential for synergies between conservation actions aimed both at the invasion and other consequential problems such as overexploitation and climate change.

How might access to postgraduate medical education in regional and rural locations be best improved? A scoping review.

Rural medical education is known as one of the most effective strategies in improving rural recruitment and retention. The aim was to identify modes of delivery to improve access to rural postgraduate medical education. Arksey and O'Malley's methodological framework was used for conducting scoping reviews. CINAHL, Google Scholar, ERIC, PsycINFO, Medline and PubMed were searched to identify peer-reviewed English-language literature published between 2000 and 2019 focusing on postgraduate rural and regional medical education. A total of 102 articles were identified, with 51 included in the final analysis after applying inclusion and exclusion criteria. Outcome measures included: article type; research methodology; date of publication; country of origin; and study population. Through iterative reading, common themes were identified. A typology of 6 content themes emerged as follows: rural curriculum; procedural skills; rurally based learning; service delivery; workforce; and distance learning. The majority of articles focused on rural curriculum, and rurally based learning, with half originating from Australia or New Zealand. Although results strongly emphasised context and curriculum in rural environments, lack of specific and pragmatic approaches was noted. Surprisingly, few articles focused on rural distance learning utilising information and communication technology. Pathways to improve rural education access include recognition of the unique rural context in curriculums; development of rural educational faculty; and creation of opportunities for rural specialist training. Emphasis should be given for education provided through rural centres rather than urban facilities. Use of information technology could be increased, for example in remote trainee supervision programs.

The importance of the socio-cultural context in family education

The article is devoted to the relationship between upbringing in a family and the socio-cultural context. The author defines the socio-cultural context, explains the mechanisms of its influence and where its potency comes from. She shows the influence of the context on upbringing in the family by the example of media, especially the social media, which she places within the mesocontext. Moreover, the author describes the importance of the context for the upbringing position and authority of parents, their ability to implement the ideal of upbringing in a situation where the pattern of parental upbringing is not consistent with the pattern proposed by the media. The conclusion of the article is the recognition of the socio-cultural context as a framework for upbringing in a family that may significantly limit the educational activity of the family.

To "See" is to Stereotype

Machine-learned computer vision algorithms for tagging images are increasingly used by developers and researchers, having become popularized as easy-to-use "cognitive services." Yet these tools struggle with gender recognition, particularly when processing images of women, people of color and non-binary individuals. Socio-technical researchers have cited data bias as a key problem; training datasets often over-represent images of people and contexts that convey social stereotypes. The social psychology literature explains that people learn social stereotypes, in part, by observing others in particular roles and contexts, and can inadvertently learn to associate gender with scenes, occupations and activities. Thus, we study the extent to which image tagging algorithms mimic this phenomenon. We design a controlled experiment, to examine the interdependence between algorithmic recognition of context and the depicted person's gender. In the spirit of auditing to understand machine behaviors, we create a highly controlled dataset of people images, imposed on gender-stereotyped backgrounds. Our methodology is reproducible and our code publicly available. Evaluating five proprietary algorithms, we find that in three, gender inference is hindered when a background is introduced. Of the two that "see" both backgrounds and gender, it is the one whose output is most consistent with human stereotyping processes that is superior in recognizing gender. We discuss the accuracy--fairness trade-off, as well as the importance of auditing black boxes in better understanding this double-edged sword.

A proposta pedagógica de Educação do Campo no estado de Pernambuco: diálogos entre Educação do Campo, currículo integrado e interdisciplinaridade

A educação no campo, enquanto teoria e prática educativa tem uma história marcada por políticas compensatórias, descontínuas e com o viés desenvolvimentista sem compromisso com a oferta de uma educação de qualidade social. As reflexões aqui apresentadas são frutos de uma pesquisa de Mestrado e refletem acerca da práxis pedagógica dos/as educadores/as de uma escola do campo, a partir dos conceitos de currículo integrado e interdisciplinaridade em uma unidade escolar da rede pública estadual, da cidade de Petrolina-PE. A pesquisa se ancorou na abordagem qualitativa, através de pesquisa descritiva e exploratória, com realização de revisão bibliográfica, análise documental, seguida de observação, aplicação de questionários e realização de entrevistas. A análise de dados teve como base a compreensão da Análise de Conteúdos, segundo Bardin (2009). Concluímos que a práxis investigada está fundamentada na proposta pedagógica de Educação do Campo do Estado de Pernambuco, cujos princípios encontram-se alicerçados na concepção de currículo integrado e interdisciplinaridade, na vivência do planejamento coletivo e reconhecimento do contexto escolar, enquanto elementos articuladores da relação teoria, prática de ensino e comunidade. Todavia, apresenta uma compreensão superficial quanto ao entendimento do movimento interdisciplinar na prática, além do necessário investimento no fortalecimento do processo formativo individual e coletivo.

 The pedagogical proposal for Rural Education in the state of Pernambuco: dialogues between Rural Education, integrated curriculum and interdisciplinarity 
 ABSTRACT. Rural education, as an educational theory and practice, has a history marked by compensatory, discontinuous policies and with a developmentalist bias without commitment to the provision of social quality education. The reflections presented here are the result of a Master's research and reflect on the pedagogical praxis of educators from a rural school, based on the concepts of integrated curriculum and interdisciplinarity in a school unit of the state public system, in the city of Petrolina-PE. The research was anchored in the qualitative approach, through descriptive and exploratory research, with bibliographic review, document analysis, followed by observation, questionnaires and interviews. Data analysis was based on the understanding of Content Analysis, according to Bardin (2009). We conclude that the investigated praxis is based on the pedagogical proposal of Education of the Countryside of the State of Pernambuco, whose principles are based on the concept of integrated curriculum and interdisciplinarity, in the experience of collective planning and recognition of the school context, as articulating elements of the theory relationship, teaching and community practice. However, it presents a superficial understanding as to the understanding of the interdisciplinary movement in practice, in addition to the necessary investment in strengthening the individual and collective training process.
