The Effects of Computerized Auditory Feedback on Electronic Article Surveillance Tag Placement in an Auto-Parts Distribution Center

In this report from the field, computerized auditory feedback was used to inform order selectors and order selector auditors in a distribution center to add an electronic article surveillance (EAS) adhesive tag. This was done by programming handheld computers to emit a loud beep for high-priced items upon scanning the item's bar-coded Universal Product Code (UPC). Adding the auditory component to the visual component of the handheld computer significantly decreased the number of untagged EAS items leaving the facility. The role of the organizational behavior management practitioner in applied settings in designing interventions—some of which can be quite simple and inexpensive, yet add tremendous value—was examined.     

虚拟社区中个人族群身份的视觉化展演 ———以三苗网论坛为例

重点关注于网络空间里族群成员如何将其族群身份进行视觉化的符号展演。在对三茁网论坛注册用户名进行数据统计和结构性访谈后发现,虚拟社区中的成员通过注册用户名、上传图片头像与添加签名档内容三个符号化方式来展演族群身份,其身份展演具有七个特征：泛族群认同、随时性、可视化／视觉化、一定的真实性、无龄感和跨性别。论坛活动的参与有助于族群成员加强其族群认同。     

"通感"的发生机制解析——一个视觉心理学的理论视角

人体感觉是一个复杂而又具有整体性的动力结构系统,而视觉正是这一系统进行运作的"特殊中介".视觉具有工具性特征,其它知觉都须借助视觉意象的参与,才能确立起自己的感觉形象;视觉还具有主动选择功能,这就使任何感觉都具有了某种倾向性.这即是"视觉意象"在诸种感觉活动中所起的特殊作用."通感"的发生,终究是诸种感官活动在某种特定情态下,向视觉这一最重要、最能接近事物本质联系的感觉形态转移的结果.     

Issues of collaboration,representation, meaning and emotions: utilising participant-led visual diaries to capture the everyday lives of people in mid to later life

In recent years there has been an increasing use of visual methods in ageing research. There are, however, limited reflections and critical explorations of the implications of using visual methods in research with people in mid to later life. This paper examines key methodological complexities when researching the daily lives of people as they grow older and the possibilities and limitations of using participant-generated visual diaries. The paper will draw on our experiences of an empirical study, which included a sample of 62 women and men aged 50 years and over with different daily routines. Participant-led photography was drawn upon as a means to create visual diaries, followed by in-depth, photo-elicitation interviews. The paper will critically reflect on the use of visual methods for researching the daily lives of people in mid to later life, as well as suggesting some wider tensions within visual methods that warrant attention. First, we explore the extent to which photography facilitates a ‘collaborative’ research process; second, complexities around capturing the ‘everydayness’ of daily routines are explored; third, the representation and presentation of ‘self’ by participants within their images and interview narratives is examined; and, finally, we highlight particular emotional considerations in visualising daily life.

Examining the differences between the use of wearable cameras and traditional cameras in research – a research note

Abstract

Photographic images allow data to be captured from an alternative perspective. Traditional, manual cameras are the most common method of recording photographic data, however, innovative technology is changing the way in which photographs can be collected. Wearable cameras enable a vast amount of photographic images to be captured, automatically, without user interaction. It is often assumed that photographic research methods are used for a similar purpose, engage participants in a similar way and yield a similar outcome, however, there are various differences between the use of traditional, manual cameras and innovative, wearable cameras. This research note offers a unique contribution to the literature by highlighting the differences between the use of traditional, manual cameras and wearable, automatic cameras within research.
