Abstract:
Displaying believable emotional reactions in virtual characters is required in applications ranging from virtual-reality trainers to video games. Manual scripting is the most frequently used method and enables an arbitrarily high fidelity of the emotions displayed. However, scripting is labour intense and greatly reduces the scope of emotions displayed and emotionally affected behavior in virtual characters. As a result, only a few virtual characters can display believable emotions and only in pre-scripted encounters. In this paper we implement and evaluate a lightweight algorithm for procedurally controlling both emotionally affected behavior and emotional appearance of a virtual character. The algorithm is based on two psychological models of emotions: conservation of resources and appraisal. The former component controls emotionally affected behavior of a virtual character whereas the latter generates explicit numeric descriptors of the character's emotions which can be used to drive the character's appearance. We implement the algorithm in a simple testbed and compare it to two baseline approaches via a user study. Human participants judged the emotions displayed by the algorithm to be more believable than those of the baselines.

Abstract:
This research aimed to analyze the character of Santiago in resolution part of the novel “The Old Man and The Sea” by Ernest Hemingway using SFL Appraisal Theory. From the data analysis, it was found that attitude (affect) and graduation (force) dominated the appraisal items in the resolution part of “The Old Man and The Sea”. In total there were 34 appraisal items found. There were 11 appraisal items on affect found (29.72%), 3 items on judgment (8.1%), 1 item on appreciation (2.7%), 5 items on engagement (13.5%) and 17 items on graduation (45.94%). Those expressions developed from character revelation through dialogue and narration on setting, and those difference marks significant importance of character’s development in the resolution part. The character revelations found in the resolution part are: reflective, affectionate (caring and loving), humble, wise, realistic, and optimistic. This research showed the contribution of appraisal theory, especially attitude and graduation to develop a character in fiction, to be more exact, vivid, and naturally convincing. In the context of language teaching, the awareness of linguistics expression, language evaluations on meanings and values are relevant to be introduced from early to get better understanding of the language.

Abstract:
The hypothesis that there is an inextricable link between comic book superheroes and suffering would, to anyone with a cursory knowledge of superhero characters found in DC, Marvel, Image, Wildstorm and other houses, and their histories, ostensibly seem valid. This validity depends on which character one is applying said hypothesis to; the psychological and physical suffering of a Batman being more acceptable as such than that of a Plastic Man, for example. However, using DC Comics character Superman as a case study, this paper explores the inextricable link between Otherness, power, and suffering within the remit of the character's mythos. In order to do so, this paper refers to psychoanalytic concepts elaborated by Sigmund Freud in his text Beyond the Pleasure Principle (1922) as a way of demonstrating that despite the character's conventional appraisal as a positivist humanistic symbol of pure altruism, an insuperable, unimpeachable symbol of selflessness and good morality, there is in fact a fundamental link between Superman's 'tridentity' of selves (Clark Kent/Kal-El/Superman), the character's own suffering, and human suffering on a terrestrial scale, as represented within the numerous realities of the DC Comics Multiverse.

Abstract:
In spite of the supernatural trappings of Charles Dickens's most famous work, A Christmas Carol, critics from G. K. Chesterton to Edmund Wilson have found its equally famous protagonist, Ebenezer Scrooge, to be a real character, more fleshed-out and compelling than many of the characters of Dickens's longer, presumably more “serious” novels. Much of the reaction to A Christmas Carol and its protean anti-hero can be summarized by Stephen Prickett's succinct appraisal in his seminal study, Victorian Fantasy: “The strength of A Christmas Carol lies quite simply in its psychological credibility” (54). Scrooge is a character we can believe in, a character that, as Margaret Atwood suggests, “remains fresh and vital. ‘Scrooge Lives!’ we might write on our T-shirts” (xiii).

Abstract:
The present paper has the purpose of analyzing the notion of disinterest in Kant’s aesthetics. The first part focuses on Shaftesbury’s and Schopenhauer’s aesthetic approaches, wherein the presence of disinterest in relation to the appraisal of beauty is highlighted –albeit, as will be seen, in very different senses than the one proposed by Kant. The second part approaches the Analytics of beauty, around which some reflections about disinterest will be attempted in order to pay attention to disinterest as proposed by Kant, not only as a negative element, but also with an open, positive, connotation that enables a relationship with the world different than usual.
El presente trabajo tiene como propósito analizar la noción de desinterés en la estética kantiana. Para ello, en la primera parte, se revisará brevemente el planteamiento estético de Shaftesbury y Schopenhauer, en los que se advierte la presencia del desinterés en relación con la apreciación de lo bello; aunque, como se verá, en sentidos muy distintos de lo propuesto por Kant. La segunda parte se centrará en la Analítica de lo bello, sobre la base de la cual se ensayarán algunas reflexiones sobre el desinterés; de esta manera se busca poner atención al desinterés propuesto por Kant no solo como un elemento negativo, sino además con una connotación abierta, positiva, que hace posible una relación distinta de la habitual con el mundo.

Abstract:
This thesis investigates the impact of transportation — the phenomenon of “being miles away” while receiving a narrative — on audience response. The poetics of narrative reception within the Homeric epics are described and the correspondences with the psychological concept of transportation are used to suggest the appropriateness and utility of this theory to understanding audience responses in and to the Iliad and Odyssey. The ways in which transportation complements and extends some concepts of narrative reception familiar to Homeric studies (the Epic Illusion, Vividness, and Enchantment) are considered, as are the ways in which the psychological theories might be adjusted to accommodate Homeric epic. A major claim is drawn from these theories that transportation fundamentally affects the audience’s interpretation of and responses to the narrative; this claim is tested both theoretically and empirically in terms of ambiguous characterization of Odysseus and the Kyklōps Polyphēmos in the ninth book of the Odyssey. Last, some consideration is given to the ways in which the theory (and its underlying empirical research) might be extended.

Abstract:
In the field of artificial intelligence the production of believable emotions are vital to be able to produce believable behavior of virtual agents. This is done with a process called affective appraisal, which means that events and situations are appraised and emotions are produced accordingly. The Artificial Intelligence and Computer Graphics (AICG) lab at Linköpings University has been devel- oping an AI architecture for virtual agents. This architecture had an appraisal module in need of improvement. This M.Sc. thesis had the purpose of doing this. Several approaches to affective appraisal are discussed and compared and finally one approach, called the OCC model, is chosen for implementation. This model is suitable for a real-time AI architecture as it is simple, easy to implement and can produce a wide range of emotions. The implementation of the OCC model is described in terms of how its different parts are incorporated into the previously existing AI architecture. Three extensions to the OCC model are also implemented to improve the results: emotional memories, the appraisal of unexpected events and interaction between the produced emotions. Finally the implementation is tested and the results of the tests are discussed. It is found that the implementation produces sufficient results for the scope of the thesis and for the requirements of the AI architecture into which it is incorporated.

In this research an attempt has been made to assess, evaluate and examine the role of chiefs as characters in Matsepe's novels. The need for this study was found to be necessary because no in-depth study of the role of chiefs in Matsepe's novels has as yet been undertaken. This study demonstrates how Matsepe portrays chiefs as characters in his novels, what their duties are and how they help in developing his themes.

Abstract:
Virtual Characters are more than avatars capable of expressing emotions and interact with the users. Virtual Characters should be seen as a very reliable representation of a human being, capable of expressing all the possible affective traits after the appraisal and evaluation of what is happening around and inside them. They should feel and express what they are feeling; they should convince you they are “real”. To achieve this level of believability several researchers have proposed different computational and affective models, as well as graphical techniques to simulate expressions, gestures, behavior or voice. All this state of art has provided us with sufficient data and information to see what else needs to be done. As a result, we propose a contextual and affective framework that allows the generation of the context that surrounds the character as well as the simulation of its psychological characteristics like preferences, standards, personality, or admiration for other agents. Moreover, the framework proposes novel and implementation independent techniques for the visualization of emotions and mood. Through experimentation we come up with a set of head-position/eye-gaze configurations that are perceived as certain personality traits, we validate the generation of expressions for moods, and assessed the feasibility of the context generation through movie scenes, which translated into our system, triggered the same emotions and elicit the same facial expressions as in the movie. This research is a step forward in the creation of more believable virtual characters, by pointing out other elements that should be considered when creating characters that can be used in affective HCI applications, storytelling, or virtual worlds for entertainment (e.g. Videogames) or for therapies (e.g. in therapies with autistic children).
Hablar de personajes virtuales implica hablar de mucho más que avatares capaces de expresar emociones e interactuar con los usuarios. Los personajes virtuales deberían ser vistos como una representación fidedigna de los seres humanos, capaces de expresar un amplio rango de rasgos afectivos después de haber analizado y evaluado qué ocurre fuera y dentro de ellos. Deben sentir y expresar lo que sienten de tal forma que logren convencer que son reales. Para alcanzar este nivel de credibilidad gran cantidad de investigadores han propuesto diferentes modelos afectivos y computacionales, así como técnicas en gráficos para simular expresiones, gestos, comportamientos y voz. Todo este trabajo previo nos ha permitido obtener suficientes datos para analizar qué más se puede hacer en esta área. Como resultado, proponemos una metodología que permite la generación automática del contexto que rodea al personaje, así como la simulación de sus características psicológicas como preferencias, estándares, personalidad, o admiración por otros agentes. Más aún, se presentan novedosos algoritmos independientes de la implementación para la visualización de emociones y humor. Mediante experimentos y test que miden el grado de percepción en los usuarios asociamos un conjunto de configuraciones “orientación de la cabeza/dirección de la mirada” a rasgos de personalidad, y validamos el método para generar expresiones de humor. También evaluamos la habilidad de la generación de contexto usando escenas de películas, obteniendo el mismo set de emociones y expresiones faciales que en dichas películas. Finalmente, cabe destacar que este trabajo de investigación es un paso hacia adelante en la creación de personajes más creíbles, ya que indica qué elementos deberían tomarse en cuenta al momento de crear personajes virtuales que puedan ser usados en aplicaciones Interacción persona-ordenador, cuentacuentos, o mundos virtuales destinados al entretenimiento (videojuegos) o fines médicos (terapias con niños autistas)

The purpose of this study is to explore the use of multimedia-music animation and graphics to implement "gratitude" and "responsible" research on the evaluation of character education courses. Using a questionnaire approach, "teacher teaching" and "students' behavior of character" are used as the main research tools for quantification. A random sampling method was used to collect opinions on this course from the Miao County Elementary and Middle School teachers. The main purpose of this research study is as follows: 1. Develop curriculum evaluations suitable for the use of multimedia in character education. From the analysis of the results of the fourth chapter, it can be seen that the mean and standard deviation, and the variance are more than the average of four, and the concentration is concentrated and tends to be more than four. Miao-ti County Elementary and Middle School teachers are recognized for this course, so it is suitable for the development of this teaching in the junior high school curriculum. 2. Understand the teacher's evaluation of multimedia courses used in character education: From this research result, we can learn the problems teachers may encounter before teaching to find out the problems and arrange the solutions in advance to make the teaching smoother. 3. Explore the growth of the research process of the researcher and analyze the results of the research as a reference for future promotion of the SME education – the gratitude and responsibility of the curriculum: This study predicts the exploration of the researcher’s teaching process, and the future will be smoother and smoother when it is promoted.

Abstract:
Principles of “transforming leadership” have been widely promoted since the publication of James McGregor Burns’ book Leadership, especially among Christian leaders. The purpose of this study is to examine the ethical foundations of his model and Bernard Bass’ “transformational leadership”. Imprecise use of the terms “transforming”, “charismatic”, and “transformational” leads to an adoption of methods without adequate understanding of the underlying value system. This literature review compares and evaluates the source texts within a framework of world view, intention, character and menschenbild, as well as the Christian ethical mandates of Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Valuing the imago Dei in others has significant implications for a leader-follower relationship. Bonhoeffer’s mandates will help leaders reflect their position within their organisations and the wider society. Though the incentive for this research was leadership within the context of the Wycliffe Global Alliance, its findings will be relevant to Christian leadership in general, especially in intercultural contexts.

Abstract:
This chapter is a critical appraisal of the “character theory of excuses” in legal philosophy, which maintains that an excuse is available to a defendant when their action is not a manifestation of their character. The essay argues, using a strategy derived from the skeptical position in the virtue ethics-situationism debate, that the moral psychology underlying the character theory of excuses is empirically inadequate. It is further suggested that yoking excuses to character assessment threatens to make determining excuses epistemically intractable in legal contexts, given the many practical obstacles to definitive character assessment.

Abstract:
This chapter sets out the philosophical foundations of the proposed account of virtues and vices of intellectual self-appraisal. It explains the nature of intellectual vices in general by distinguishing between sensibilities, thinking styles, and character traits. Subsequently, it describes the specific features of the epistemic vices of self-appraisal. The chapter supplies an account of what makes epistemic vices vicious, and argues in favour of a motivational view. In the author’s view the vices of intellectual self-appraisal are impairments of epistemic agency caused by motivations, such as those of self-enhancement or impression management, that also bring other epistemically bad motives in their trail. Such motivations bias epistemic evaluations of one’s cognitive abilities, processes, and states. These appraisals, in turn, have widespread negative influences on agents’ epistemic conduct as a whole.

Abstract:
This chapter works through a number of cases featuring well-known musicians and painters—Michael Jackson, Miles Davis, Gord Downie, Richard Wagner, Paul Gauguin, Graham Ovenden, and Jackson Pollock—to try to answer the question about when and how artists’ moral character ought to bear upon the ethical and artistic appraisal of their work. The chapter rejects the empiricist view that some aspect of the artist’s character must be manifest in the work, arguing, instead, on the basis of an analogy with virtue ethics, that the ethical status of the artist’s motivation in creating the work is relevant to an appraisal of it.

This chapter takes up the discussion from the previous chapter by exploring the bad character of the accused. This subject matter is almost wholly governed by certain provisions in the Criminal Justice Act 2003. Thus, the chapter first considers the nature of the problem of the admission of evidence of the bad character of the accused; then attempts at reform, at common law, by recommendations of law reform bodies, and by legislation; an indication of the principal forms of continuing dissatisfaction; and finally the intentions and techniques designed to remedy them. Next, the chapter considers the structure of the bad character provisions from the 2003 legislation and the gateways it provides for admissibility. Finally, this chapter concludes with a brief appraisal of the 2003 act.

Abstract:
Extended Abstract and [has] the potential to stimulate local and regional economies” (p.3). A city centre or town centre has been recognised as the beating heart and public legacy of an urban fabric either in a small town, medium-sized city, metropolis or megalopolis. Within this spectrum of scales, city centres’ scopes significantly vary in the global context while considering the physical as well as the intangible and the spiritual features. Concerns such as the overall dimensions, skyline, density and compactness, variety of functions and their distribution, comfort, safety, accessibility, resilience, inclusiveness, vibrancy and conviviality, and the dialectics of modernity and traditionalism are only some examples that elucidate the existing complexities of city centres in a city of any scale (overall dimension) (for further details see for instance Behzadfar, 2007; Gehl, 20210; Gehl and Svarre, 2013; Hambleton, 2015; Lacey et al., 2013; Madanipour, 2010; Roberts, 2013). Regardless of the issue of the context, Gehl (2010) define city centres as interconnected with new concepts such as “better city space, more city life” and “lively and attractive hub for the inhabitants” (pp. 13–15). Roberts (2006) explains the notion of a city centre or town centre as a space “in which human interaction and therefore creativity could flourish”. According to her, the point can realise by creating or revitalising 24-hour city policies that can omit the “‘lagerlout’ phenomenon, whereby drunken youths dominated largely empty town centres after dark” (pp. 333–334). De Certeau (1984) explains that a city and subsequently a city centre is where “the ordinary man, a common hero [is] a ubiquitous character, walking in countless thousands on the streets” (p. V). Paumier (2004) depicts a city centre particularly a successful and a vibrant one as “the focus of business, culture, entertainment … to seek and discover… to see and be seen, to meet, learn and enjoy [which] facilitates a wonderful human chemistry … for entertainment and tourism These few examples represent a wide range of physical, mental and spiritual concerns that need to be applied in the current and future design and planning of city centres. The term ‘concern’, here, refers to the opportunities and potentials as well as the problems and challenges. On the one hand, we —the academics and professionals in the fields associated with urbanism— are dealing with theoretical works and planning documents such as short-to-long term masterplans, development plans and agendas. On the other hand, we are facing complicated tangible issues such as financial matters of economic growth or crisis, tourism, and adding or removing business districts/sections. Beyond all ‘on-paper’ or ‘on-desk’ schemes and economic status, a city centre is experienced and explored by many citizens and tourists on an everyday basis. This research aims to understand the city centre from the eyes of an ordinary user —or as explained by De Certeau (1984), from the visions of a “common hero”. In a comparative study and considering the scale indicator, the size of one city centre might even exceed the whole size of another city. However, within all these varieties and differences, some principal functions perform as the in-common formative core of city centres worldwide. This investigation has selected eight similar categories of these functions to simultaneously investigate two different case study cities of Tehran and Belfast. This mainly includes: 1) an identity-based historical element; 2) shopping; 3) religious buildings; 4) residential area; 5) network of squares and streets; 6) connection with natural structures; 7) administrative and official Buildings; and 8) recreational and non-reactional retail units. This would thus elaborate on if/how the dissimilarities of contexts manifest themselves in similarities and differences of in-common functions in the current city centres. With a focus on the age-gender indicator, this investigation studies the sociocultural aspect of inclusiveness and how it could be reflected in future design and planning programmes of the case study cities. In short, the aim is to explore the design and planning guidelines and strategies —both identical and divergent— for Tehran and Belfast to move towards sociocultural inclusiveness and sustainability. In this research, due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, the studies of the current situation of inclusiveness in Belfast city centre have remained as incomplete. Thus, this presentation would like to perform either as an opening of a platform for potential investigations about Belfast case study city or as an invitation for future collaborations with the researcher for comparative studies about age-gender inclusiveness in city centres worldwide. In short, this research tries to investigate the current situation by identifying unrecognised opportunities and how they can be applied in future short-to-long plans as well as by appreciating the neglected problems and proposing design-planning solutions to achieve age-gender inclusiveness. The applied methodology mainly includes the direct appraisal within a 1-year timespan of September 2019 – September 2020 to cover all seasonal and festive effects. Later, however, in order to consider the role of the COVID-19 Pandemic, the direct appraisal was extended until January 2021. The complementary method to the direct appraisal is the photography to fast freeze the moments of the ordinary scenes of the life of the case study city centres (John Paul and Caponigro Arts, 2014; Langmann and Pick, 2018). The simultaneous study of the captured images would thus contribute to better analyse the age-gender inclusiveness in the non-interfered status of Tehran and Belfast. Acknowledgement This investigation is based on the researcher’s finding through ongoing two-year postdoctoral research (2019 – 2021) as a part of the Government Authorised Exchange Scheme between Fulmen Engineering Company in Tehran, Iran and Queen’s University Belfast, Northern Ireland. The postdoctoral research title is “The role of age and gender in designing inclusive city centres – A comparative study of different-scale cities: Tehran and Belfast” in School of Natural and Built Environment of the Queen’s University of Belfast and is advised by Dr Neil Galway in the Department of Planning. This works is financially supported by Fulmen Company as a sabbatical scheme for eligible company’s senior-level staff.

Abstract:
Stirling engines are being used more and more frequently in applications such as Combined Heat and Power (CHP). Federal projects have a history of employing Stirling technology to address critical needs. Exploitation of certain alternative energy approaches such as the increased reliance on Bio-Mass energy inherently argues the Stirling case. This paper examines this expanded role for Stirling technology, while also examining the potential impacts achievable from the application of modern technologies. Examples of modern technologies include improved control technologies, new materials and new design approaches. Specific examples of successes are documented, and typical future choices are identified and appraised. The functional advantages of Stirling technology are likewise enumerated and discussed. They range from a variety of economic and technical advantages (fuel diversity, quietness, pristine environmental character, lubrication friendliness,...), through the most basic advantage that Stirling engines possess relative to many competing technologies, namely the fact that there are ‘no showstoppers’ with Stirling engine technology (implemented since 1816). An assessment is provided relative to some of the limitations of previous Stirling engine design approaches, and suggestions are provided regarding how such limitations and concerns can be addressed with the expanding role of Stirling engines.
