In order to accelerate the installation of BEMS into these buildings, it is important to develop BEMS which meets the following two requirements;1) To achieve the system configuration through the ease of installation.2) To have functions of inducing energy-saving behaviors of people in the office.For the purpose of developing practical BEMS, it is essential to examine the above from a viewpoint of the human side. In this paper, a concept of the system developed by the authors is briefly introduced, and followed by the discussion on users' energy-saving behaviors induced by the information providing method. First, the outline and features of the system are introduced. Next, the research on the information providing method for inducing energy-saving behaviors is explained. Finally, based on these researches, we propose a design policy for the information providing method to induce energy-saving behaviors. It is to provide information that increases the motivation before actions are taken and to reduce the occurrences of dissatisfaction after taking such actions. Currently, the effects of the system are under validation regarding whether it maintains and induces energy-saving behaviors.","PeriodicalId":259265,"journal":{"name":"AHFE International","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128032756","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Interrelation of organizational climate of trust, the trust profile of leaders and business performance","authors":"Tom Werner Hermann Albert Sommerlatte","doi":"10.54941/ahfe1002239","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.54941/ahfe1002239","url":null,"abstract":"Recent research on the role of trust for productivity, innovativeness and the effectiveness of change of business organizations (1) has shown a significant interaction of the individual trust profile of leaders, the psychological contract between the leadership of an organization and its members, and the trust climate of the organization.Trust climate in turn has been shown by empirical studies to have a so far underestimated bearing on how effectively people work together in business processes, how innovative ideas and projects are treated, and how strong the buy-in is in strategic and organizational change.The Trust Management Institute has – working with an academic advisory board and a business executives advisory board – built on these research findings to develop psychometric approaches for assessing the trust climate of organizations, the individual trust profile of leaders, and the quality of the (unwritten) psychological contract in organizations. Thus, we are able to trace weaknesses of an organization’s trust climate back to assessable flaws in the trust profile of its leaders in terms of their self-confidence, their interpersonal relations, their behavior in team situations and their decision-making patterns. In fact, the characteristics of the trust climate of an organization, e.g. the quality of communication, its employees’ commitment, cooperation and views of the future potential of the organization, has been shown to be largely conditioned by the trust profile of individual leaders and the employees’ reading of the psychological contract resulting from their behavior.Comparative case studies by the Trust Management Institute and others (2) in a number of companies, based on psychometric surveys with samples of employees and managers, indicate that a positive climate of trust favors readiness to constructively work towards a common result. A poor climate of trust, on the other hand, typically leads to more control and bureaucracy and slows down innovation.The approach to the assessment of the trust climate is to ask the participants in a structured sample to rate a battery of operational statements on a scale of true to false. The consolidated result reveals reasons for the extent to which trust exists or is missing, and the segmentation by functional and hierarchical sub-samples points to the causes of trustworthiness or mistrust.An interesting finding of our empirical work is that poor individual trust profiles and the resulting damage to the climate of trust in an organization is often the consequence of poor communication, a lack of openness and a control-minded leadership style. By creating awareness of these flaws and stimulating corrective behavioral changes, leaders have in many cases been enabled to rebuild the trust which their organization needs to improve performance.

The aesthetic feeling and logic of interface icons will seriously affect the performance and experience of user information retrieval, especially for the elderly. Accurately understanding the semantics of interface icons is a part of efficient information retrieval. Questionnaires and behavioral tests are commonly used to measure icon understanding. However, biometric indicators have also been developed to measure icon understanding. The neural indexes of interface icon understanding were studied by measuring event-related potentials (ERPs). The stimulus 1-stimulus 2 paradigm was adopted in this study. 60 participants were divided into two groups and carried out icon recognition experiments independently in the laboratory. This study shows that N300 and N400 are effective neural indicators to evaluate interface icon understanding and can be used to predict interface icon understanding and behavior in the elderly.","PeriodicalId":259265,"journal":{"name":"AHFE International","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115779315","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposal to develop the work came from the intention of performing an exercise with students of architecture that could be useful to the Memorial and the visually impaired . The relevance of the action occurs by the absence of such material, as well as being indicated by laws, as a compensatory element when accessibility to public buildings do not exist. The method of development of the studies was based on the study of the dimensions of the building; the damage and the accessibility conditions . Six models were made on the scale 1/100. The main results of the discussions were: a) the size of the models in 1/100 scale were considered satisfactory; b) the employed materials had the desired effects and; c) The APEC evaluators will make transcripts to Braille of the names of the spatial organization and other architectural elements in order to enable social inclusion to the historic building .","PeriodicalId":259265,"journal":{"name":"AHFE International","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131989578","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recent results are presented that target to significantly improve evacuation simulation by parameterizing the human agents’ behavior with information on human factors about stress, perception and decision making. In particular, the single person’s behavior in its specific situational context is investigated in the frame of its embodied decision making. For this purpose, users were equipped with wearable sensors that capture information about the environment, the psychophysiological status of the user, and its viewing (eye tracking glasses) and motion behavior. The studies take place during regularly performed evacuation exercises of large business buildings. From the correlation between the multisensory perceptual and psychophysiological data on the one hand, and the automatically sensed and interpreted situational context on the other hand, we will extract a rule base with a set of logical “pre-condition – action” pairs that will parameterize the crowd simulation model.","PeriodicalId":259265,"journal":{"name":"AHFE International","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130096807","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the past, there have been numerous demonstrations in different language models (LMs) and (naıve) Bayesian Networks (BN) that can classify textual knowledge origin for different classes based on decisive binary trees from the future prediction aspect of how public text collection and processing can be approached, converging the root causes of events. An example is how communication influence and affect the end-user. Within service providers and industry, the progress of processing communication relies on formal clinical and informal non-practices. The LM is based on handcrafted division on machine learning (ML) approaches representing the subset of AI and can be used as an orthogonal policy-as-a-target leadership tool in customer or political discussions. The classifiers which use the numeric representation of textual information are classified in a Neural Network (NN) by characterizing, for instance, the communication using cross-sectional analysis methods. The textual form of reality collected in the databases has significant processable value-adding opportunities in different management and leadership, education, and climate control sectors. The data can be used cautiously for establishing and maintaining new and current business operations and innovations. There is currently a lack of understanding of how to use most NN and DN methods.
