Science fiction reduces the eeriness of android robots: A field experiment

As suggested by the uncanny valley hypothesis, robots that resemble humans likely elicit feelings of eeriness. Based on the psychological model of meaning maintenance, we expected that the uncanny valley experience could be mitigated through a fictional story, due to the meaning-generating function of narratives. A field experiment was conducted, in which 75 participants interacted with the humanlike robot Telenoid. Prior to the interaction, they either read a short story, a non-narrative leaflet about the robot, or they received no preliminary information. Eeriness ratings were significantly lower in the science fiction condition than in both other conditions. This effect was mediated by higher perceived human-likeness of the robot. Our findings suggest that science fiction may provide meaning for otherwise unsettling future technologies.     

Pattern analysis in daily physical activity data for personal health management

Purpose: sedentary lifestyles have resulted in an increasing number of people who are at increased risk of various conditions and diseases, including overweight, obesity, and metabolic syndromes. Our objective was to systematically record the daily life journal on a platform to increase the self-awareness and improve the sedentary lifestyle and to assist clinicians in understanding and facilitating patients’ daily physical activity.Method: we developed a portable activity pattern recognition system designed to automatically recognize the daily activity habits of users, and provide visualized life logs on the wellness self-management platform for patients and clinicians. Based on the participants’ and the clinician’s comments, appropriate modifications were made.Results: persuading people to improve their activities during non-working hours can enhance the general physical activity. Since users’ smartphones automatically monitor their energy expenditure, healthcare professionals can use these data to assist their patients in addressing health problems stemming from the obesity or metabolic syndromes, thus empowering users to avert or delay the progression of diabetes, cardiovascular disease and other complications.Discussion and conclusions: the clinical pilot study showed the feasibility of applying this persuasive technology to improve the physical activity of overweight people. The limitation of the study is the need for Wi-Fi and 3G environments and a smartphone.

Naming the rose: observations on 'landscape' usage and professional identity

The plurality in meaning and use of the word 'landscape' in New Zealand is reviewed. Relationships between usage and professional advocacy are examined. Implications for the interpretation of landscape and other similar concepts used in policy formation both in New Zealand and in Europe and North America are discussed.     

Dutch Personal Income Tax Reform 2001: An Exceptional Position for Owner-occupied Housing

This paper examines how personal income taxation has changed across countries and whether and how this has affected the taxation of owner-occupied dwellings. It presents a partial analysis as it focuses on imputed rent taxation and the mortgage interest deduction. Furthermore, the paper places housing taxation in a wider context by describing different benchmarks which could be used to assess the taxation of owner-occupied housing in different types of personal income tax. These international and theoretical points-of-departure are used to evaluate the taxation of owner-occupied housing in the Netherlands. The paper concludes that all along political arguments have conquered theoretical premises to the advantage of the owner occupier in comparison to the private landlord. It also concludes that the theoretical base in 2001 has become so weak that owner-occupied housing is in an exceptional position in comparison with other private wealth thus becoming an easy victim for future tax savings.     

Patterns and predictors of personal exposure to indoor air pollution from biomass combustion among women and children in rural China

Indoor air pollution (IAP) from domestic biomass combustion is an important health risk factor, yet direct measurements of personal IAP exposure are scarce. We measured 24-h integrated gravimetric exposure to particles < 2.5 μm in aerodynamic diameter (particulate matter, PM?.?) in 280 adult women and 240 children in rural Yunnan, China. We also measured indoor PM?.? concentrations in a random sample of 44 kitchens. The geometric mean winter PM?.? exposure among adult women was twice that of summer exposure [117 μg/m3 (95% CI: 107, 128) vs. 55 μg/m3 (95% CI: 49, 62)]. Children's geometric mean exposure in summer was 53 μg/m3 (95% CI: 46, 61). Indoor PM?.? concentrations were moderately correlated with women's personal exposure (r=0.58), but not for children. Ventilation during cooking, cookstove maintenance, and kitchen structure were significant predictors of personal PM?.? exposure among women primarily cooking with biomass. These findings can be used to develop exposure assessment models for future epidemiologic research and inform interventions and policies aimed at reducing IAP exposure. PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS: Our results suggest that reducing overall PM pollution exposure in this population may be best achieved by reducing winter exposure. Behavioral interventions such as increasing ventilation during cooking or encouraging stove cleaning and maintenance may help achieve these reductions.

Mapping an urban area prone to slope instability: Greater Lyons

In response to the needs of the local authorities, the systematic mapping of zones prone to slope instability was undertaken for the urban area of Lyons, the second largest city of France with a population of 1.2 million. This involved working within operational constraints, including the extent of the study sector (some 300 km² of the 500 km² covered by the urban area), an accuracy of 1:5,000 scale throughout, difficulties of ground observation in an urban environment and a limited budget. An original methodology was developed and implemented to deal with these constraints. This combined automatic mapping methods using GIS (cross-checking slope and geological criteria) with naturalistic assessment methods (visual analysis). The results obtained met the expectations of the local authorities. After checking, the maps produced were appended to the regulatory urban planning documents under development. Electronic Publication
