Bayes factors for logistic (mixed effect) models by Silvey, C, Dienes, Z, Wonnacott, E

“…We illustrate this using mainly the estimates from frequentist logistic mixed-effects models (because of their widespread adoption) but also using Bayesian model comparison with Bayesian hierarchical models (which have increased flexibility). …”

Conceptualisation of global citizenship, intercultural competence, and domestic internationalisation in enhancing graduates’ global employability by Anees Janee Ali, Awang Rozaimie, Khalid, Jamshed, Nurul Hidayah

“…Stiff challenges for global job mobility strain the higher education institutions, especially in Malaysia, to revise their academic and practical curriculum in preparing graduates to meet global employability requirements. Thus, this paper mainly proposes the graduates’ global employability paradigm, which is reflected by the internationalisation process, which is moderated by the institutional support. …”

Flexible batch electrodialysis for low-cost solar-powered brackish water desalination by He, Wei, Le Henaff, Anne-Claire, Amrose, Susan, Buonassisi, Tonio, Peters, Ian Marius, Winter, Amos G

“…In a village-scale desalination case study in India, these system improvements lead to a 22% reduction in water cost, making the technology competitive with the currently used on-grid, village-scale reverse osmosis systems that are mainly powered by fossil fuels. Future advances could further reduce costs, providing an improved, sustainable solution to water scarcity in remote areas.…”

“Am I talking to a human or a robot?” : a preliminary study of human’s perception in human-humanoid interaction and its effects in cognitive and emotional states by Baka, Evangelia, Vishwanath, Ajay, Mishra, Nidhi, Vleioras, Georgios, Thalmann, Nadia Magnenat

“…To support our research, we have used EEG recordings to capture the physiological signals derived from the brain during each interaction, audio recordings to compare speech features and a questionnaire to provide psychometric data that can complement the above. Our results mainly showed the existence of frontal theta oscillations while interacting with the humanoid that probably shows the higher cognitive effort of the participants, as well as differences in the occipital area of the brain and thus, the visual attention mechanisms. …”
