The Power of Perception in Human-AI Interaction: Investigating Psychological Factors and Cognitive Biases that Shape User Belief and Behavior by Lee, Eunhae

“…Through two interconnected studies involving 238 participants, the first study explores how cognitive style, paranormal beliefs, AI attitudes, and personality traits impact perceptions of the validity, reliability, usefulness, and personalization of predictions from different sources. The study finds a positive correlation between belief in AI predictions and belief in astrology- and personality-based predictions, highlighting a "rational superstition" phenomenon where belief is more influenced by mental heuristics and intuition than by critical evaluation. …”

Stylistic reproduction in the English version of Winter Pasture from the perspective of the stylistic markers theory by Liu, Yunyue

“…Based on the Stylistic Markers Theory by Liu Miqing, the author of this paper classifies the style of Winter Pasture according to the features of formal markers and conducts a comparative study with qualitative analyses. And this paper finds that the translators use various modes to transfer different formal markers, including onomatopoeic words at the phonological level, the Romanised Kazakh vocabularies and the language of Kazakh grammar at the register level, meaningful punctuation at the syntactic level, the skilful uses of loose sentences and harmonious parallel sentences at the textural level, and the detailed colour words at the lexical level. …”

The local welfare safety-net: fit for purpose? by Cole Norton, F

“…It begins by outlining the design of LWA across England. It finds that meso-level actors make decisions by drawing on different discretionary strategies, which causes marginalisation and exclusion of vulnerable communities. …”

From demonetisation to Covid-19: Insights on the dynamics between informality and financial inclusion from the city of Kolkata, India by Ma, T

“…</p> <p>Empirical research finds that while Demonetisation and Covid-19 managed to reduce some forms of financial informality associated with the use of cash in saving, payment, and borrowing through their catalytic effects on digitalisation, other informal financial practices persisted or even increased, serving as substitutes for or supplements to insufficient and dysfunctional formal ones. …”

Image segmentation with minimal human supervision by Shin, G

“…</p> <br> <p>In the first part, we demonstrate that considering a model's uncertainty in predictions can significantly reduce the number of annotations required to train a segmenter that performs nearly as well as a fully-supervised one. This finding underscores the critical role of pixels around semantic boundaries in helping the model to learn representations suitable for segmentation.…”

Development of an improved GWO algorithm for solving optimal paths in complex vertical farms with multi-robot multi-tasking by Shen, Jiazheng, Hong, Tang Sai, Fan, Luxin, Zhao, Ruixin, Mohd Ariffin, Mohd Khairol Anuar, As’arry, Azizan

“…Thanks to the DE and EP strategies, the EPDE-GWO requires fewer iterations to reach the optimal solution, offers strong stability and robustness, and consistently finds the optimal solution at a high frequency. These attributes are particularly significant in the context of vertical farming, where optimizing robotic path planning is essential for maximizing operational efficiency, reducing energy consumption, and improving the scalability of farming operations.…”

The Effect of Work Community on Job Transfer Intention: The Mediation Effect of Regulatory Failure and Job Burnout by Kittichokwattana, Patipat, Harun, Azhar, Mohd. Zain, Zawiyah

“…In addition, promotion failure involves the absence of positive outcomes that increases the likelihood of disengagement and seek for an alternative that fulfills hopes and aspirations, whereas prevention failure relates to the presence of negative outcomes which motivate one to strengthen responsibilities and obligations to avoid the further loss resulting in low disengagement. The finding provides a better understanding of the underlying psychological mechanism between the regulatory focus and work well-being…”
