Расширенный киборг: концептуализация взаимосвязи людей и интеллектуальных систем

The article is devoted to the development of the concept of “extended cyborg”, which conceptualizes various aspects of interaction between people and intelligent computer technologies. It is shown that cyborgization does not imply an invasive combination of the human body and computer technologies, but represents the integration of cyber technolo­gies and human experience. Such cyborgization is often interpreted as an anthropological threat, but the article shows that it is an ambivalent phenomenon integrated into the imma­nent ways of human interaction with material reality. In this regard, the ontology of ex­panded cyborgization is considered, as well as its two important aspects – cognitive and political.

76‐3: Invited Paper: Integration of Sensing Technologies into MicroLED Displays

MicroIC enables display attributes unattainable from polycrystalline thin‐film transistors, and the complimentary metal‐oxide semiconductor (CMOS) microICs support a wide range of applications beyond driving pixels. Integrating sensors within displays can add value to products, reduce costs and improve performance versus conventional solutions. As evidenced by touch and display integration in mobile displays via TDDI ICs, in‐cell sensing can reduce cost and improve performance to levels that are not available with all display types. Capacitive touch, optical touch, 3D scanning, and proximity sensing can also benefit from the inherent coordination between sensors and display. We present multiple sensing architectures and demonstrations of integration within microLED displays and describe CMOS microIC circuits for touch sensing applications. With diverse heterogenous semiconductor technology tightly woven into displays, the potential for intuitive gesture controls, adaptive interfaces, and enhanced sensory feedback paves the way for more natural and effortless interactions between humans and machines.

PECULIARITIES OF INTERACTION OF LOCAL SELF-GOVERNMENT BODIES IN SOCIAL NETWORKS: CHANGES THROUGH THE PRISM OF THE SOCIETY'S VIEWPOINT

Purpose of the study. The digital environment is the simplest and at the same time the most effective way of interaction between public authorities and society. When building a dialogue between government and society, it should be remembered how important the role of informatization is in management processes in modern Russia. Insufficient use of such potentially powerful tools as social networks can lead to filling the vacuum of dialog between the governed and the governed by those forces that will pursue various destructive goals - from discrediting the authorities to outright fraud; and ignoring the dialog opportunities of social networks, using them as a formality, ultimately undermines trust in the authorities and creates a gap in communication where it could be effectively built. The presented research is aimed at forming an idea about the prospects of social networks as the main communicator of local self-government bodies and the population of the municipality. Conclusions. By studying the information reality on the example of a particular municipality, we can develop recommendations on the use of social networks as the most important guide to the formation of public opinion. New approaches to governance through the use of Internet communications, actively formed at present, need an appropriate legal framework.

Facilitating flexible learning: A study of students’ perceptions of synchronous and asynchronous blended learning

This study explored students’ perceptions of the implementation of synchronous and asynchronous blended learning. The current case study investigated 78 undergraduates who enrolled in a course while involved in an experiential learning program called Merdeka Belajar-Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) or independent learning on an independent campus. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected in this study using surveys and interviews. The quantitative information was analyzed using descriptive statistics whereas thematic analysis was adopted to analyze the qualitative data. The five dimensions of flexible blended learning, including place, time, service, technology and pedagogy were adopted as a framework for this study. The findings suggested that synchronous and asynchronous blended learning could provide flexible learning regarding place, time, service, technology and pedagogy to support students’ learning and participation in the MBKM program. According to students, facilitating factors for the flexibility of synchronous and asynchronous blended learning include providing accessible learning materials, the possibility of time negotiation, providing various ways for social interactions, aligning topics or activities between the course and the MBKM program, small group settings, giving clear feedback and minimal scheduling changes. These factors must be considered when optimizing synchronous and asynchronous blended learning implementations.

Nurses’ and patients’ perceptions of physical health screening for patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders: a qualitative study

BackgroundDespite worldwide concern about the poor physical health of patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSD), physical health screening rates are low. This study reports nurses’ and patients’ experiences of physical health screening among people with SSD using the Finnish Health Improvement Profile (HIP-F) and their ideas for implementation improvements.MethodsA qualitative exploratory study design with five group interviews with nurses (n = 15) and individual interviews with patients with SSD (n = 8) who had experience using the HIP-F in psychiatric outpatient clinics. Inductive content analysis was conducted.ResultsTwo main categories were identified. First, the characteristics of the HIP-F were divided into the subcategories of comprehensive nature, facilitating engagement, interpretation and rating of some items and duration of screening. Second, suggestions for the implementation of physical health screening consisted of two subcategories: improvements in screening and ideas for practice. Physical health screening was felt to increase the discussion and awareness of physical health and supported health promotion. The HIP-F was found to be a structured, comprehensive screening tool that included several items that were not otherwise assessed in clinical practice. The HIP-F was also considered to facilitate engagement by promoting collaboration in an interactive way. Despite this, most of the nurses found the HIP-F to be arduous and too time consuming, while patients found the HIP-F easy to use. Nurses found some items unclear and infeasible, while patients found all items feasible. Based on the nurses’ experiences, screening should be clear and easy to interpret, and condensation and revision of the HIP-F tool were suggested. The patients did not think that any improvements to the HIP-F were needed for implementation in clinical settings.ConclusionsPatients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders are willing to participate in physical health screening. Physical health screening should be clear, easy to use and relatively quick. With this detailed knowledge of perceptions of screening, further research is needed to understand what factors affect the fidelity of implementing physical health screening in clinical mental health practice and to gain an overall understanding on how to improve such implementation.

An interactive shared reading intervention designed for preverbal infants: A feasibility study exploring early language and cognitive development

Creating an environment suitable for language acquisition through shared reading significantly contributes to improving a child's language development and parent–child relationship. Reading in an interactive way, such as dialogic reading, is favorable. Nevertheless, dialogic reading is designed for children above the age of two and shared reading is recommended to start during the child's first year. The present study aimed to explore the feasibility of an interactive shared reading intervention, inspired by dialogic reading, where the reading techniques were designed to complement infants’ preverbal developmental level. The study further intended to explore its preliminary effect on infants’ cognitive and language development. Eleven parent–infant dyads participated, bi-monthly, in four in-depth intervention sessions where the shared reading techniques were modeled. Between sessions, parents and infants engaged in shared reading using these techniques. Post-intervention interviews served to reflect the feasibility of the intervention. Infant cognitive and language assessments were conducted pre- and post-intervention using BAYLEY-III and CSBS DP ITC. Favorable results regarding feasibility and infant language development were found, however, for cognitive development the results were non-significant. We discuss clinical considerations and the scope for conducting future studies.

The influence of M.A. Bulgakov’s novel “The Master and Margarita” to Yu Hua’s novel “Brothers”: carnivalization as a way of forming a novel narrative

The object of the study is the texts of two famous works of Russian and Chinese literature – novels by Bulgakov's "The Master and Margarita" and Yu Hua's "Brothers"; The subject of the study is the techniques of carnivalization that are found in novels and which, obviously, appeared in Yu Hua under the influence of Bulgakov, with whose work he was well acquainted. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the comparison of the works of Russian and Chinese writers, and the identification of another way of interaction between Russian and Chinese culture, which is being carried out in Russian literary studies for the first time. The research was carried out on the basis of historical-literary, biographical, comparative and hermeneutical methods, using general scientific methods of analysis and synthesis, observation, description, etc. As a result of the study, it was noted that the aesthetics of carnivalism is clearly manifested in the works of both writers. The novel narrative is organized according to the laws of carnival action, it contains carnival chaos, grotesque, images of jesters, madmen and descriptions of crazy actions, a carnival attitude towards freedom and death, ridicule of authorities, mockery of order, disappointment in high ideals, a combination of high and low, image crowds as a single figure and other features. It is concluded that Yu Hua absorbed the aesthetics of the carnival through Russian literature, including Bulgakov’s novel "The Master and Margarita". This aesthetics was close to him, which, like the Russian writer, contributed to the description of the new world that arose around the heroes of the novels after the revolutionary changes that had occurred.

Evaluation of reports received on a digital platform for monitoring and self-care of individuals facing the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil: Contributions to public health

ObjectivesTo evaluate the contribution of the digital platform “Meu Diário de Quarentena (MDQ)" or My Quarantine Diary concerning the monitoring and self-care of individuals with COVID-19 in Brazil. And to analyze the epidemiological and clinical characteristics related to the disease and the users who adhered to the support provided by MDQ. MethodsMDQ was developed by a multidisciplinary team and offered to the general population to provide self-care and health education during the COVID-19 pandemic, relying on users' self-reporting of information (such as signs and symptoms, pre-existing health conditions, and medications used during quarantine). The outcomes were measured, and the web app's support experience for public health was reported. ResultsMDQ had 2439 active users on the platform, with 485 (19.9 %) self-reporting a COVID-19 diagnosis, mostly from individuals in the southeastern region of Brazil (56.5 %). The most common pre-existing health condition reported was related to circulatory system diseases. The most frequent reported signs and symptoms included headache, cough, myalgia, nasal congestion and muscle weakness. Corticosteroids, multivitamins, and anti-inflammatories were the most used medications during the pandemic period. There were several reports related to how users were feeling during the pandemic, and among these reports, negative feelings toward isolation stood out, such as “feeling lonely”, “anxious”, and “feeling useless”. A significant association was found between sex (p < 0.001) and age (p < 0.001) in relation to self-reported cases of COVID-19. ConclusionsThe use of MDQ during extended quarantine was an easy and interesting way of interaction and support for people during COVID-19 pandemic.

THE METAMODERN CONTEXT OF NARRATIVE STRATEGIES IN M. ZUZAK'S NOVEL "THE BOOK THIEF"

The article examines the narrative strategies of Markus Zuzak's novel "The Book Thief" from the perspective of metamodern aesthetics and the concept of metaxis. The article outlines the modern trends in the development of literary studies, which actualizes the problems of narratology at all functioning levels in the image of the human world, which draws special attention to the question of implementation forms and living of the narrative within the limits of the artistic work as a functional system that has signs of closure and openness. By narrative strategy, we mean a way of representing the artistic world of the text, characters, and the author, which is unique for a certain work of art, which is carried out through the mediation of the narrator. The narrative strategy in the paradigmatic (narrative as a variant of the narrative strategy of the text in the body of culture) and syntagmatic (narrative as a way of interaction between the narrative and the plot) dimensions of the work is also considered. The following aspects (or separate strategies) are distinguished in the novel's narrative strategy: the communicative one, which captures the peculiarities of communication as an interaction of the structural elements of the narrative and narrative instances; the event, which records the event as external or internal to the plot, the movement of the characters and their interaction, the visual and phenomenological aspect of the event, signs of heterogeneity, chronotypicality, intelligibility, factuality are also outlined; temporal, which examines the narrative from the point of view of its temporal regime; fictional, which considers the relationship between the reality of the text system and the environment (reality, culture) in which it is located; aesthetic, which captures the peculiarities of the aesthetic reception of the work in combination with its substantive and formal components; metanarrative, which considers the narrative as the subject of the next narrative, and performative, which interprets the forms of correlation and identification of speech and action in the narrative.

Perpetrators in multimodal media discourse: a case study of personalization in images from The Telegraph

The article deals with the visual and linguistic representation of alleged perpetrators through personalization in news reporting from The Telegraph’s online media platform. The analysis shows how visual message, along with verbal labelling in the text, represent different groups of alleged perpetrators as more or less ‘dangerous’ in news reports. Agency is analyzed through a focus on the lens range and its influence on perceived social distance, the angle of the shot and its role in the understanding of social relations, as well as the direction of an alleged perpetrator’s gaze in images as a way of social interaction with the viewer. The photos of alleged perpetrators appear in The Telegraph with the aim of informing the public about the danger these individuals pose, as well as legitimizing the actions of law enforcement institutions. It appears that verbal and visual identification of these individuals is done with the intention of ‘excluding’ the most dangerous social actors, such as ‘murderers’, from ingroups.

Vivifying Knee Rehabilitation: SquatEmUp, a Serious Game Utilizing the Wii Fit Balance Board.

Knee injuries are a common concern in orthopedic and sports medicine, often requiring extensive rehabilitation to restore function and alleviate pain. The rehabilitation process can be long and challenging, necessitating innovative approaches to engage and motivate patients effectively. Serious games have emerged as a promising tool in rehabilitation, offering an interactive and enjoyable way to perform therapeutic exercises. In this context, a new serious game that leverages the Wii Fit Balance Board as an input device supported by a keyboard to aid knee rehabilitation was developed. To tailor the game to the specific needs of knee rehabilitation, qualitative content analysis and requirement extraction based on three interviews with therapists were conducted. These insights were then iteratively integrated into the game's development, ensuring that the final game was both clinically relevant and engaging. A therapist subsequently re-evaluated the completed game, confirming its potential to enhance the rehabilitation process. It was also shown that further research is needed to detect squat movements on the Balance Board. But this initial approach, combining the Wii Fit Balance Board with squat exercises, uniquely addresses the challenges of knee rehabilitation, offering a novel video and game solution.

Соотношение Мотива и Способа в актах развития действия

&lt;p&gt;The article raises a question how the cultural-historical psychology today should be reserached. The analysis of transitions of periods of childhood, periods (ages) and epochs of development, presented in D.B. Elkonin's understanding of the essence of periodization of child&amp;rsquo;s developement requires the identification of the situations when clearly appears the correlation of motive, purpose and method in the cumulative action of a child and an adult. Identifying such situations requires a change in the position of the researcher-experimenter, a consideration of the way and conditions of the child-adult interaction, i.e., a consideration of situations in which the Mediating Action unfolds. It&amp;rsquo;s required from the researchers in Nonclassical Psychology.&lt;/p&gt;
