When language learning takes place post-migration, the challenge is not only to attain fluency. Learning is tied up with life opportunities and is overshadowed by hopes and fears for the future. In the post-migration phase, hopeful thinking can support the acculturation process. Hope is a goal-related construct that captures variation in adaptability in the pursuit of positive outcomes. It involve

Our research aims to develop an intelligent control system for optimizing the operation of lighting systems for a jogging track in the countryside by using adaptive control methods, and optimization of built-in lighting control. Through this, lighting systems will be optimized, energy consumption will be minimized and the lighting system will be adapted to be able to handle a larger amount of loca

The report presents an analysis of how sustainable business models can contribute to the transition to a more resource-efficient and circular economy. It highlights how economic, political, social and market factors influence the development and scaling of business models that reduce resource use, waste and climate impact. The results show that sustainable business models can be strengthened throu

The use of gender-inclusive pronouns aims to make language more inclusive and to reduce biases and prejudices based on gender. Previous research shows that men tend to resist gender-inclusive pronouns more strongly than other individuals. The aim of the current study is to contribute to the understanding of this stronger resistance among men. We hypothesize that men are more negative toward gender

The roundtable brings together four authors, and a former journal editor, from the recent JCMS 20th Anniversary Symposium and forthcoming Cooperation and Conflict Anniversary Special Issue to discuss: What does the Arrival of planetary politics tell us about the European Union and normative power in the planetary organic crisis?Ian Manners provides a reflection and prospective intervention on the

In 2015 the Rockefeller Foundation-Lancet Commission defined the concept of planetary health as built on an ecological model that integrates the material, biological, social, and cultural aspects of public health and accepts the complexity and non-linearity of the dynamics of natural systems. The zoonotic COVID-19 pandemic hastened this awaking to the symbiotic nature of planetary health politics

Lattice-based cryptography is in the process of being standardized. Several proposals to deal with side-channel information using lattice reduction exist. However, it has been shown that algorithms based on Bayesian updating are often more favorable in practice. In this work, we define distribution hints; a type of hint that allows modelling probabilistic information. These hints generalize most p

Being the premier forum for automotive user interface research and other vehicular technologies, AutomotiveUI concerns professionals, academics, researchers, and industry representatives from all around the world interested in innovation, research, and application of automotive user interface topics, embodying diversity at its core. This diversity is however not always reflected in the conference'

: Based on the recent progress on research and development on automated vehicles, mass production of partially autonomous driving vehicles is expected to be available in the 2020s. According to the SAE standard level 3, a takeover situation may occur where the vehicle driving party changes if autonomous driving is released for unavoidable reasons resulting from vehicle or system limitations. In th

To reduce traffic accidents caused by driver factors, realizing technology to monitor and preemptively respond to the state of a driver is necessary. In this study, drivers' electroencephalogram (EEG) data during driving were acquired, and the effect of carelessness warnings was analyzed. The frequency of carelessness per minute was low for the case of presence of warnings. The originality of this

Due to the rapid climate change, drivers are now more likely to drive in severe weather conditions than before. In bad weather, drivers have no option but to cope with a very unusual environment, increasing the likelihood that an accident will transpire. Therefore, it is important to find ways to operate vehicle systems more easily and safely during bad weather. In this study, we investigated 6 in
