School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics
Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) research requires the integration and cooperation of multiple disciplines, technical and social, in order to make progress. In many cases using different motivations, each of these disciplines bring with them different assumptions and methodologies. We assess recent trends in the field of HRI by examining publications in the HRI conference over the past three years (over 100 full papers), and characterise them according to 14 categories. We focus primarily on aspects of methodology. From this, a series of practical recommendations based on rigorous guidelines from other research fields that have not yet become common practice in HRI …

What’S On The Inside Counts: A Grounded Account Of Concept Acquisition And Development, S Thill, K Twomey
School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics
Understanding the factors which affect the age of acquisition (AoA) of words and concepts is fundamental to understanding cognitive development more broadly. Traditionally, studies of AoA have taken two approaches, either exploring the effect of linguistic variables such as input frequency (e.g., Naigles and Hoff-Ginsberg, 1998) or the semantics of the underlying concept, such as concreteness or imageability (e.g., Bird et al., 2001). Embodied theories of cognition, meanwhile, assume that concepts, even relatively abstract ones, can be grounded in the embodied experience. While the focus of such discussions has been mainly on grounding in external modalities, more recently some have …

New State Estimator For Decentralized Event-Triggered Consensus For Multi-Agent Systems, C Viel, S Bertrand, H Piet-Lahanier, M Kieffer
School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics
This paper extends recent work of Garcia et al. on event-triggered communication to reach consensus in multi-agent systems. It proposes an improved agent state estimator as well as an estimator of the state estimation uncertainty to trigger communications. Convergence to consensus is studied. Simulations show the effectiveness of the proposed estimators in presence of state perturbations.

The Grammar Of Glamour Part 2: Part Of Portfolio The Grammar Of Glamour, I Rae
School of Art, Design and Architecture
The Grammar of Glamour; Part 2 explores the business of surface appearances through the use of imagery within independent businesses concerned with the manufacture of glamour. The intention is to ask how the spell of glamour can be broken. And at the same time how the power of material objects can transform the identity and status of those who own them. We cannot now begin to imagine what non-photographic glamour might be like, but we can ask what it represents within an economic, political, even philosophical, system. I want to look at hair salon interiors and specifically to the use …

Can’T Count Or Won’T Count? Embedding Quantitative Methods In Substantive Sociology Curricula: A Quasi-Experiment, Malcolm Williams, Luke Sloan, Sin Yi Cheung, Carole Sutton, Sebastian Stevens, Libby Runham
Peninsula Medical School
This paper reports on a quasi-experiment in which quantitative methods (QM) are embedded within a substantive sociology module. Through measuring student attitudes before and after the intervention alongside control group comparisons, we illustrate the impact that embedding has on the student experience. Our findings are complex and even contradictory. Whilst the experimental group were less likely to be distrustful of statistics and appreciate how QM inform social research, they were also less confident about their statistical abilities, suggesting that through ‘doing’ quantitative sociology the experimental group are exposed to the intricacies of method and their optimism about their own abilities …

Effect Of Phenylephrine On The Accommodative System, Jj Esteve-Taboada, Aj Del Águila-Carrasco, P Bernal-Molina, Et Al
School of Health Professions
Accommodation is controlled by the action of the ciliary muscle and mediated primarily by parasympathetic input through postganglionic fibers that originate from neurons in the ciliary and pterygopalatine ganglia. During accommodation the pupil constricts to increase the depth of focus of the eye and improve retinal image quality. Researchers have traditionally faced the challenge of measuring the accommodative properties of the eye through a small pupil and thus have relied on pharmacological agents to dilate the pupil. Achieving pupil dilation (mydriasis) without affecting the accommodative ability of the eye (cycloplegia) could be useful in many clinical and research contexts. Phenylephrine …

Postpartum Regression Of A Presumed Cavernous Meningioma, See Yung Phang, Peter Whitfield
Peninsula Medical School
Meningiomas are known to be more common in females than males. They are also known in rare cases to grow in size during pregnancy, which can complicate its management. We describe a 31-year-old Caucasian woman who presented with blurring of her vision and diplopia during the third trimester of her pregnancy. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed a small left cavernous sinus meningioma. The patient was treated conservatively until her uncomplicated delivery. A postpartum MRI scan showed complete regression of the suspected meningioma. Currently the patient is contemplating a further pregnancy.

Introduction: The variety of organisations providing National Health Service (NHS)-funded services in England is growing. Besides NHS hospitals and general practitioners (GPs), they include corporations, social enterprises, voluntary organisations and others. The degree to which these organisational types vary, however, in the ways they manage and provide services and in the outcomes for service quality, patient experience and innovation, remains unclear. This research will help those who commission NHS services select among the different types of organisation for different tasks. Research questions: The main research questions are how organisationally diverse NHS-funded service providers vary in their responsiveness to patient choice, …

Changes In The Eeg Amplitude As A Biomarker For Early Detection Of Alzheimer's Disease., Ali H. Al-Nuaimi, Emmanuel Jammeh, Lingfen Sun, Emmanuel Ifeachor
School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics
The rapid increase in the number of older people with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other forms of dementia represents one of the major challenges to the health and social care systems. Early detection of AD makes it possible for patients to access appropriate services and to benefit from new treatments and therapies, as and when they become available. The onset of AD starts many years before the clinical symptoms become clear. A biomarker that can measure the brain changes in this period would be useful for early diagnosis of AD. Potentially, the electroencephalogram (EEG) can play a valuable role in …

Time to move the goalposts? Do we need new targets for developing intravenous anaesthetics? Widespread use of intravenous hypnotics for induction of anaesthesia dates from 1934 when thiopentone was introduced. Since then a handful of agents have come and gone with only propofol and ketamine enjoying common use in addition to some residual administrations of thiopentone and etomidate, During the 30 years since propofol was introduced in 1986, number of candidate hypnotics and propofol reformulations have been evaluated but none have yet achieved commercial success or significant clinical impact. During this period developmental objectives built on the shortfalls of thiopentone …

Regulating Collective Management Organisations By Competition: An Incomplete Answer To The Licensing Problem?, M Hviid, S Schroff, J Street
School of Law, Humanities and Social Sciences
While the three functions of Collective Management Organisations - to licence use, monitor use, and to collect and distribute the revenue - have traditionally been accepted as a progression towards a natural (national) monopoly, digital exploitation of music may no longer lead to such a fate. The European Commission has challenged the traditional structures through reforms that increase the degree of competition. This paper asks whether the reforms have had the desired effect and shows, through qualitative research, that at least regarding the streaming of music, competition has not delivered. Part of the reason for this may be that the …

Principal-Agent Compensation Practices In A Stakeholder-Oriented Smokey Mountain Cooperative, Paz Esperanza T. Poblador
DLSU Business & Economics Review
While developing the operations manual of three eco-laundry shops established by a Smokey Mountain cooperative, I discovered an alarming disparity in salary schemes among the social enterprises. Cooperatives in the Philippines embody the values of stakeholdership in that they balance the needs of all stakeholders to increase social performance. But in this case, principalagent compensation practices were implemented towards increasing profitability. A discussion on compensation and organizational rewards allows for further understanding of the process in which these compensation packages were developed by the decision-makers. After using the survey method, measurable business indicators were evaluated to distinguish the effects of …

Insider misuse is become a major threat to many organisations. This is due to the knowledge that might have about the organization's security infrastructure. Therefore, a wide range of technologies have been developed to detect/prevent the insider misuse. Beyond detecting, there is a need to investigate the misuse and identify the individual perpetrating the crime. From a networking perspective, the investigations currently rely upon analysing traffic based upon two approaches: packet-based-approach and flow-based approach. However, a serious limitation in these approaches is the use of IPs addresses to link the misuse to the individual. However, IPs addresses are often not …

The Virtue Gap In Humor: Exploring Benevolent And Corrective Humor., W Ruch, S Heintz
School of Psychology
The recent emergence of positive psychology gave rise to the idea to conceptualize humor from a “good character” perspective (Peterson & Seligman, 2004). Present constructs, however, show a “virtue gap”, and the two concepts of benevolent and corrective humor were developed to fill this gap. The former describes a humorous outlook on life that entails the realistic observations and understanding of human weaknesses (and the imperfection of the world) but also their benevolent humorous treatment. By contrast, corrective humor involves moral based ridicule; that is, the use of mockery to fight badness and mediocrity. Corrective humor, akin to satire, uses …

The early Holocene cooling, which occurred around 8200 calendar years before present, was a prominent abrupt event around the north Atlantic region. Here, we investigate the timing, duration, magnitude and regional coherence of the event as expressed in carbonate oxygen-isotope records from three lakes on northwest Europe's Atlantic margin in western Ireland, namely Loch Avolla, Loch Gealáin and Lough Corrib. An abrupt negative oxygen-isotope excursion lasted about 200 years. Comparison of records from three sites suggests that the excursion was primarily the result of a reduction of the oxygen-isotope values of precipitation, which was likely caused by lowered air temperatures, …
