In the coming decade, Artificial Intelligence-based Digital Assistants are likely to appear in operational aviation contexts, including the cockpit and air traffic control Ops room. Current scenarios for such AI support include advising flight crew during mid-flight emergencies, and executing routine air traffic duties in the Tower to reduce complexity and controller workload. The concept for Digital Assistants goes beyond today’s Machine Learning-based tools, which largely offer information to human operators. Instead, the notion is of an AI-based ‘colleague’ that can engage in dialogue with its human counterparts. This in turn leads to the notion of a Human-AI Team and raises a host of questions about how such a team can and should function to optimise system performance and safety. One question in particular concerns how working with a Digital Assistant, and even potentially relying on one in safety critical scenarios, will affect the team’s, and the parent organisation’s safety culture, since safety culture is seen as high in the industry, and valuable in assuring passenger and crew safety. In the European air traffic network, safety culture is measured regularly in different countries using a standardised 50-item scientifically validated questionnaire. This questionnaire has been applied to the Digital Assistant concept to see which facets of safety culture might be affected. The results of this analysis have identified six high-level concerns, but also six instances where the Digital Assistant could potentially reinforce or improve safety culture, providing new ‘safety affordances’. Although the current work’s focus is on aviation, the safety culture issues raised here may also pertain to other domains including health care, the energy sector, space and defence systems.

In recent years, Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology has seen significant growth due to advancements in machine learning (ML) and data processing, as well as the availability of large amounts of data. The integration of AI with eXtended Reality (XR) technologies such as Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) can create innovative solutions and provide intuitive interactions and immersive experiences across various sectors, including education, entertainment and healthcare. The presented paper describes the innovative Voice-drive interaction in XR spaces (VOXReality)* initiative, funded by the European commission, that integrates language and vision-based AI with unidirectional or bidirectional exchanges to drive AR and VR, allowing for natural human interactions with XR systems and creating multi-modal XR experiences. It aligns Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Computer Vision (CV) parallel progress to design novel models and techniques that integrate language and visual understanding with XR, providing a holistic understanding of goals, environment, and context. VOXReality plans to validate its visionary approaches through three use cases such as a XR personal assistant, real-time verbal communication in virtual conferences, and immersive experience for the audience of theatrical plays.* Funded by European Union (Grant agreement ID: 101070521)

Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAVs) are becoming global phenomena and making their way into our society. With the increase in vehicle system automation and connectivity levels, reliance on technology increases, which reduces the human influence on vehicle dynamic driving tasks. This development significantly transformed the nature of human-vehicle interaction design from control to supervisory control. The final goal of CAVs is to enable driverless rides (SAE L 4 – 5), where various stakeholders (passengers, service providers, and insurers) will interact during the post-development phases of the vehicle life cycle. CAVs are susceptible to safety and cyber security attacks where a successful attack could lead to various safety, operational, financial, and privacy losses. This paper aims to propose a methodology for safety and security analysis of CAV interaction with various stakeholders and is aligned with automotive cyber security standard ISO/SAE 21434 TARA. This standard provides the guideline to perform risk management for vehicles, considering the vehicle system level only; whereas the prescribed methodology will complement standard ISO/SAE 21434, performs safety and security analysis based on the CAV - Stakeholders interaction model and investigates the impact of cybersecurity incidents on various stakeholders. The paper presents the methodology which builds upon knowledge combining the known techniques from safety and security domains. The research results in developing an interaction model, and identifying interaction assets, their vulnerabilities, and threats. Furthermore, it performs an attack consequences analysis to demonstrate the impact of the attack on various stakeholders. The developed methodology can be applied to any post-development phase of the CAV life such as operation, maintenance, and decommissioning.

While autonomously parking e-cargo bikes offer the potential to enhance users’ comfort and time efficiency at sharing-stations, it is important to ensure a safe and useable interaction. External human machine interfaces (eHMIs) provide a possible solution for highly automated systems to communicate relevant information and to ensure system transparency. We conducted a laboratory study investigating three different communication concepts for autonomously parking e-cargo bikes: (1) a visual eHMI, (2) an auditory eHMI, and (3) a baseline condition. Participants (N = 36) watched videos of an autonomously parking e-cargo prototype and assessed each concept regarding user experience, acceptance, perceived safety, and trust. Results revealed a clear ranking of communication concepts with the visual eHMI rated to be most suitable followed by the auditory eHMI, whereas ratings for the condition without eHMI revealed considerable concerns for all aspects. Our findings suggest important implications for designing user interfaces for self- parking e-cargo bikes.

Virtual Reality technology (VR) can be used for manufacturing training within a reduced space to allow trainees to manipulate objects in a simulated environment. Based on the information obtained from this recreation exercise, the production planning team can implement the proper adjustments prior to the beginning of an assembly. During a Project Evaluation and Management course, five students from Tecnologico de Monterrey created a VR space with pieces for assembly in a laboratory, designed with the previous user experience from the students. The main objective of this study was to test the effectiveness of a drill pump assembly process to analyze the assembly time. The study included 44 third-year undergraduate engineering students, 22 females. After the VR study, a statistical test was performed to analyze the results, which indicated that the group of students reduced the cycle time by 67% after two times compared to the first tryout. In addition, no significant differences were observed in the assembly time between the male and female students.

Through the study of 346 artistic products, related to digital paintings from the Medieval period, the relationship between the intercultural mechanism of contemporary language and the qualities of paintings were studied. In this sense the tool developed by Wingfield, C., & Connell, L. (2022) was used, in which the semantic similarity based on user experience was analyzed. In relation to the qualities of artistic object the tetrachoric coefficient of darkness was considered to analyze as one of fundamental sensitive factors of artistic work, so the variables were reduced to the dichotomy: darkness of the digital work in RGB system and concepts based on experience. Likewise, a classification of 57 relevant topics of digital works were obtained. The results suggest the existence of a low relationship in the dichotomy: darkness of image - concept based on experience; However it was observed that as the closeness of the concept increases in relation to the Middle Ages, there is less tendency to find works with a prominent darkness in the digital image., Which suggests that the formation of contemporary concepts related to the Middle Ages are not dependent on the darkness of the work. The intention of these studies lies on exploring the relationship of the intercultural mechanism of language based on semantic similarity -proposed by Wingfield, C., & Connell, in groups of contemporary users and the interaction with sensitive qualities of objects created in ancient times.

Background. In the practice of clinical research, it is traditionally accepted to evaluate parameters that characterize the degree of impairment or loss of the function of an organ or system, and not their preservation. A fundamental change in the approach distinguishes a new trend in modern medicine, which makes it possible to assess the degree of preservation of functional resources, which was the basis of this study.Study purpose: To develop a method for dynamic quantitative assessment of the severity of arterial hypertension and evaluate the relationship between a qualitative indicator of arterial hypertension and a quantitative indicator.Instruments and Data Collection Procedure.

Walking and cycling as active mobility have often been forgotten in research and planning in sub-Saharan Africa and only in recent years national and local authorities as well as international agencies are putting more effort on this topic. There are efforts to develop walking and cycling policies and infrastructure in cities like Nairobi and Kampala. However, these new infrastructure projects are minimal in scope, have design inadequacies that make them unusable or unattractive, are not wide enough to meet walking space standards, and are in places that do not serve the majority of the people who need to access them. To further promote active mobility in sub-Saharan Africa while building on existing activities, combined efforts of applied research and continuing education are required to better understand walking and cycling needs in an African Context. The promotion of active mobility can build on existing applied research activities in sub- Saharan Africa as well as transferable research activities in Germany, prior introduced by Hausmann et al. 2017. Nevertheless, there is still a need to better capture the requirements of the pedestrians and cyclists and to illustrate their needs.

The article is part of a doctoral dissertation, the aim of which is to implement the Policy for the Development of Artificial Intelligence from 2020 in Poland by modelling and implementing program activities to support the implementation of new technologies in the small and medium-sized enterprise sector (SME), along with their cyclical monitoring and validation. The doctoral thesis assumes that the realization of the goal will be carried out through the collection and production of a set of good practices that will support and facilitate the implementation of solutions based on artificial intelligence for SME, as well as their popularization in this group, which will fill the implementation gap (lack of addressing the needs of this target group) and the research gap (description of program mechanisms addressing the problems of policy implementation). For this purpose, a platform provided by the Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence in the form of a website is being used and adapted in Polish market, where an entrepreneur will be able to easily validate his or her level of maturity and can see what technologies are adequate for implementation in his or her enterprise. The conceptual work on the portal identified three main challenges facing SMEs: the difficulty in finding trusted AI suppliers, the lack of knowledge in AI, and the lack of identification of business topics and strategies where AI could be implemented in the organization. By using the portal and describing a specific way to validate suppliers, which will also be the subject of this article, SMEs can count on programmatic support in applying AI to business operations. During the implementation of this tool in Poland, the author of the publication focused on entrepreneurs who do not use technologies or the possible implementation of technologies raises many questions (for example, of a legal nature), and thus blocks the possibility of possible implementation. The article will indicate how AI solution providers are added (assessment list), how SMEs can find out their level of implementation, as well as what recommendations for changes to the portal have come from each side so as to ensure the best possible functioning of this portal in the Polish market, thus addressing the research and implementation problem of the PhD.

In recent years social media is a very popular platform for any kind of business. During the pandemic, it became even more trendy for small business owners who run businesses from home. Particularly in developing countries like Bangladesh where socially and culturally women face a lot of obstacles to doing business. The number of female entrepreneurs in Bangladesh is growing day by day as this is an opportunity for them to earn and support their families. Initially, they prefer social media for their business platform because there is no need for business premises, and it is easy to target a large number of customers in a short period of time. While the prospect of female entrepreneurship is bright for this country, they are encountering cyberbullying on social media by some ill-minded people. This paper aims to find out how female entrepreneurs in Bangladesh experience and can prevent cyberbullying on social media. This is exploratory research. Qualitative data were collected through an online semi-structured interview method by using open-ended questions. Data were analysed thematically based on different codes and themes by using NVivo 12 software. The result shows how female entrepreneurs get cyberbullied on social media in this country. It also recommends some preventive actions that female entrepreneurs can exercise to protect themselves from cyberbullying while operating their businesses on social media.
