This study examines the usability of communication-assistive applications for hearing-impaired users, with a focus on enhancing user experience and promoting social inclusion. Although such applications have been developed and evaluated previously, interface designs that consider the intimacy needs of hearing-impaired users remain under-explored. We performed a comprehensive usability evaluation employing a mixed-method approach... Читать дальше...



Effects of indoor plants on CO2 concentration, indoor air temperature and relative humidity in office buildings

Plos.org 

by Junzhiwei Jiang, Peter Irga, Robert Coe, Philip Gibbons

This experimental study investigates the influence of indoor plants on three aspects of air quality in office spaces: relative humidity, indoor air temperature, and carbon dioxide concentration. Employing a Latin square design, we rotated three different treatments across three offices over six time periods. These treatments included a control (no plants), a low-volume treatment (five plants), and a high-volume treatment (eighteen plants) of Nephrolepis exaltata (Boston fern). Читать дальше...

The purpose of this pilot study was to gather preliminary data on the use of humor in the raising of children.

Materials and methods

We developed and administered a 10-item survey to measure people’s experiences being... Читать дальше...

Effects of stimulus onset asynchrony on cognitive control in healthy adults

Plos.org 

by Abdolvahed Narmashiri

The efficiency of cognitive control in healthy adults can be influenced by various factors, including the stimulus onset asynchrony (SOA) effect and strategy training. To address these issues, our study aims to investigate the impact of SOA on single-mode cognitive control using the Go/No-Go task, as well as the manifestation of proactive control within dual mechanisms of cognitive control through the AX-CPT task. In single-mode cognitive control, extending SOA led... Читать дальше...
