When adults without university education search the Internet for health information: The roles of Internet-specific epistemic beliefs and a source evaluation intervention

In the present research, N = 48 adults without university education were tasked to conduct two web searches on unfamiliar health-related issues. Three research objectives were examined: the predictive value of individuals’ Internet-specific epistemic beliefs for their navigation behavior and post-search decisions in Web Search Task 1; the effects of a short source evaluation intervention on individuals’ navigation behavior and post-search decisions in Web Search Task 2; and the effects of the source evaluation intervention on individuals’ Internet-specific epistemic beliefs. Results showed that beliefs concerning the justification by multiple sources were positively related to the time spent on reliable objective web pages and to the likelihood to make a post-search decision that was in accordance with the objective pages. Beliefs that the Internet is a reliable knowledge resource were also positively related to the time spent on objective pages as well as to greater certainty in the post-search decision. Second, in Web Search Task 2, the intervention group spent more time on objective web pages, was more likely to make a decision that was in accordance with these pages, and was more certain of their decision than the control group. Third, one week after the intervention, individuals possessed stronger beliefs concerning the justification by multiple sources than before. In conclusion, the present research indicates that both adaptive Internet-specific beliefs and a short source evaluation intervention have positive effects on non-university educated adults’ online health information seeking and that their Internet-specific epistemic beliefs can be fostered through such an intervention.

A sliding window technique for interactive high-performance computing scenarios

Interactive high-performance computing is doubtlessly beneficial for many computational science and engineering applications whenever simulation results should be visually processed in real time, i.e. during the computation process. Nevertheless, interactive HPC entails a lot of new challenges that have to be solved – one of them addressing the fast and efficient data transfer between a simulation back end and visualisation front end, as several gigabytes of data per second are nothing unusual for a simulation running on some (hundred) thousand cores. Here, a new approach based on a sliding window technique is introduced that copes with any bandwidth limitations and allows users to study both large and small scale effects of the simulation results in an interactive fashion.     

Automatic generation algorithm of expected results for testing of component-based software system

ContextA component-based software (CBS) system is a typical example of a composite component, which is composed of two or more atomic components. In the test of a CBS system, it is necessary to automatically generate expected results because they are compared with the actual results.ObjectiveThis paper proposes an automatic generation algorithm of expected results for the testing of a CBS system.MethodThe algorithm analyzes Input/Output (I/O) relationships of a CBS system to identify inputs that influence its outputs. Then, the algorithm uses test cases of atomic components for each input and automatically generates expected results. To evaluate the proposed approach, we compare the proposed approach with the other I/O relationship based approach via two case studies which are the CBS systems for guide robot. The comparison shows the effectiveness of our approach.ResultsTo verify effectiveness of the proposed approach, we measure the cost of manual generation of expected results for each case study. The costs are from 0.001 to 0.015 in the first case study, and are from 0.590 to 0.998 in the second case study.ConclusionThis proposed approach reduces the time-consuming and error-prone task which manually generates expected results for the testing of a CBS system.
