Abstract:
We connect two areas of research: psychological research on mental time travel as a way of understanding memory and the interdisciplinary work on collective memory. For individuals, remembering the personal past and imagining the personal future are closely related. We explore whether the link can extend to the collective realm. We review two recent studies that support this hypothesis and outline questions that should be addressed by future research. We conclude by addressing the relations between memory, simulation, and group identity.

Abstract:
This study means to analyze Shakespeare’s use of mental time travel (MTT) in his collection of sonnets, especially those addressed to his young friend. It also hopes to amplify that Shakespeare’s versification of MTT anticipates modern neuropsychological studies on the topic. The article tackles MTT in light of four different premises induced from the sonnets subject to analysis: first, MTT occurs in the sonnets in correlation with objective time; second, the dual constructive and destructive nature of time triggers the need for the memory-based MTT; third, the disparaging effect of time on the poet and the friend’s mother is meant to stimulate the young friend to heed the future of his extraordinary beauty under the strokes of ruthless time; and, fourth, the destructive force of time on non-human beings and natural phenomena provides another stimulus to urge the young friend to heed the dangers of time on his future.

Abstract:
The rapid development of information technology in the current era of modernization has changed many humanlifestyles in all fields, both private and government agencies to the general public. Laju Jaya Tour & Travel providestransportation services that are known to be on time in the departure schedule. The problem faced is the lack of departureschedule information which makes consumers do not know the departure schedule. Even ordering tickets is not efficientbecause they still use the recording process. To solve this problem, a Travel Reservation web was created to make it easierfor customers to order tickets. Data collection was carried out by conducting interviews directly related to the object understudy and reviewing the necessary needs. This system was built using the JavaScript programming language and MERNStack technology, namely the Mysql database, the ExpressJs framework on the backend, ReactJs on the frontend and NodeJs. In making this information system using the waterfall method. This system has been tested using blackbox testing to getthe expected results and the system is feasible to use. The system is expected to be able to assist in managing travelreservation data where as long as ticket ordering is still done manually. This system has limited features so that it can bedeveloped to make it even better and is expected to have high performance in terms of its software developmentinfrastructure, so it needs regular development.

Abstract:
Introduction: Vaccines and drugs for the treatment and prevention of COVID-19 require robust evidence generated from clinical trials before they can be used. Decisions on how to apply non-pharmaceutical interventions such as quarantine, self-isolation, social distancing and travel restrictions should also be based on evidence. There are some experiential and mathematical modelling data for these interventions, but there is a lack of data on the social, ethical and behavioural aspects of these interventions in the literature. Therefore, our study aims to produce evidence to inform (non-pharmaceutical) interventions such as communications, quarantine, self-isolation, social distancing, travel restrictions and other public health measures for the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: The study will be conducted in the United Kingdom, Italy, Malaysia, Slovenia and Thailand. We propose to conduct 600-1000 quantitative surveys and 25-35 qualitative interviews per country. Data collection will follow the following four themes: (1) Quarantine and self-isolation (2) social distancing and travel restrictions (3) wellbeing and mental health (4) information, misinformation and rumours. In light of limitations of travel and holding in-person meetings, we will primarily use online/remote methods for collecting data. Study participants will be adults who have provided informed consent from different demographic, socio-economic and risk groups. Discussion: At the time of the inception of the study, United Kingdom, Italy, Malaysia, Slovenia and Thailand have initiated strict public health measures and varying degrees of “lockdowns” to curb the pandemic. These public health measures will change in the coming weeks and months depending on the number of cases of COVID-19 in the respective countries. The data generated from our study could inform these strategies in real time.

Abstract:
Surf tourism is the principal development driver in many coastal communities around the world. Surf tourism development brings economic opportunities to residents in coastal destinations, but has also been criticized for associations with gentrification, pollution, and inequity. While many have speculated that surfers represent a crisis-resistant tourist segment, this had not yet been empirically demonstrated, nor had the sustainability implications of their travel during crises been explored. Building on ethnographic observations and two interview phases with 25 resident surfers in Bocas del Toro, Panama, this is the first study to do both. The findings reveal that the pandemic exacerbated existing sustainability challenges by accelerating development near surf-breaks, fomenting tensions within the surf community (related to surf tourism business operations and the distribution of benefits) and facilitating residents to surf more frequently—exacerbating surf-resource crowding. Evidence also revealed, however, a potential shift in surfers’ collective consciousness in the context of the pandemic, which reduced conflicts between visiting and resident surfers. This paper exposes the urgent need for stakeholders in surf communities, and particularly surf tourism business owners, to cooperate in order to preserve surf experiences that are vital to resident mental/physical health and well-being, as well as the attractiveness as a surf tourism destination.

Abstract:
Aims1.To evaluate the clinical practice and documentation of remote patient consultations in memory assessment service during COVID-19 pandemic2.To gather the views of clinicians and patients on the benefits and challenges of remote patient consultations 3.To understand the role of digital psychiatry in our services after the pandemicMethodsAn audit tool and feedback questionnaires for patients and clinicians were completed through discussions and consensus with multidisciplinary team. RCPsych guidance for cognitive assessments was also considered.A random sample of 20 patients was identified who had virtual consultations. Rio clinical records were used for data collection using audit tool.Patients and clinicians were sent questionnairesResultsEvaluation of clinical practiceThe audit demonstrated that all the relevant documentation was completed in vast majority of cases and the clinical practice was not significantly affected by the consultations being carried out virtually. Mental state examination was identified as one aspect which got partially completed in 4 out of 20 assessments during the remote consultationsPatient surveyPatient survey showed that the purpose of the consultation was mostly served by remote appointments. Almost 90% fedback that the communication was clear and they were able to engage freely and effectively with the clinicians. 55% reported preference for face to face meetings in future. 28% preferred remote consultations citing not having to travel as the main reason for their choice. Another benefit identified was relatives who don't live locally could also attend the virtual meetings to support the patients and to offer useful informationClinicians’ surveyFrom clinicians’ perspective, the main advantages were reduced travel time, improved time efficiency, and reduced risk of infection. The main disadvantages were inability to get the full clinical picture compared to face-to-face appointments, technological challenges, and lack of personal touch.43% reported that the job satisfaction has improved from hybrid workingConclusionThere are certainly benefits and advantages for remote consultations from the perspective of both patients and clinicians. While majority of clinicians prefer a combination of remote working and face-to-face consultations, more than half of patients expressed preference for face-to-face appointments. This audit demonstrates that, although remote consultation is not the gold standard method in assessing cognitive functions and dementia diagnosis, it was useful for obtaining most of the relevant information to enable diagnosis and initiating treatment in timely manner. We also found that approximately 437 miles of travelling was prevented because of the possibility of virtual meetings

Abstract:
Abstract This study investigates processing of passive and active constructions between native speakers (NS) and non-native speakers (NNS) of English using traditional on-line mechanisms such as response time in conjunction with techniques that capitalize on the parallel activation of distributed mental representations during online syntactic processing. In the current study, hand motions captured by a mouse-tracking system were used to index listeners’ cognitive processes while making commitments to different choice alternatives during the processing of English passive and active structures. During data collection, 57 NNS and 43 NS carried out an aural forced-choice picture identification task. Data analysis indicated differences and similarities between NS and NNS participants such that NS participants are faster at responding to passive and active stimuli, travel less distance, and make fewer directional changes when compared to NNS participants. However, all participants showed similar trends for passive processing, suggesting comparable difficulties in processing passive constructions.

Abstract:
Episodic memory (memories of the personal past) and prospecting the future (anticipating events) are often described as mental time travel (MTT). While most use this description metaphorically, we argue that episodic memory may allow for MTT in at least some robust sense. While episodic memory experiences may not allow us to literally travel through time, they do afford genuine awareness of past-perceived events. This is in contrast to an alternative view on which episodic memory experiences present past-perceived events as mere intentional contents. Hence, episodic memory is a way of coming into experiential contact with, or being again aware of, what happened in the past. We argue that episodic memory experiences depend on a causal-informational link with the past events being remembered, and that, assuming direct realism about episodic memory experiences, this link suffices for genuine awareness. Since there is no such link in future prospection, a similar argument cannot be used to show that it also affords genuine awareness of future events. Constructivist views of memory might challenge the idea of memory as genuine awareness of remembered events. We explain how our view is consistent with both constructivist and anti-causalist conceptions of memory. There is still room for an interpretation of episodic memory as enabling genuine awareness of past events, even if it involves reconstruction.

Abstract:
Après avoir longtemps négligé l’ancrage temporel des groupes sociaux, un nombre croissant de travaux en psychologie sociale appréhende désormais les groupes comme des entités qui se meuvent à travers le temps et suggère que les représentations du passé et du futur collectifs des individus, en plus d'être continuellement (re)construites en fonction du présent, sont pertinentes pour la compréhension des comportements collectifs actuels. Cette nouvelle ligne de recherche a récemment conduit à l'idée d'un voyage mental temporel collectif (VMTC) –i.e., l'équivalent collectif du voyage mental temporel individuel, qui rassemblerait les influences croisées entre les représentations du présent, du passé et du futur du groupe des individus. Cette thèse visait à examiner les dynamiques et conséquences de ces VMTC, à la lumière de l'anomie sociétale perçue –i.e., la perception que la société actuelle est désintégrée et dérégulée. A travers neuf études corrélationnelles et expérimentales, nous avons montré que la perception d’anomie dans la société actuelle (a) façonnait les représentations du passé national des individus (e.g., une représentation plus positive de Charles de Gaulle) (b) favorisait la projection de futurs nationaux négatifs et anxiogènes et (c) influençait les relations entre les représentations du passé et du futur collectifs (e.g., une représentation de déclin national d’autant plus abrupte lorsque la société actuelle était perçue comme anomique). Par ailleurs, ces VMTC étaient à leur tour associés au soutien et à l’intention présente de s'engager dans différents types d'actions visant à défendre la France (dont des actions anti-immigration)After neglecting the temporal aspect of social groups for a long time, a growing body of research in social psychology now apprehends groups as entities that move through time and suggests that people’s representations of the collective past and future, in addition to being continuously (re)constructed according to the present, are relevant for understanding current collective behaviours. This new line of research has recently led to the idea of a collective mental time travel (CMTT) -i.e., the collective equivalent of individual mental time travel, that would gather the cross-influences between people’s representations of the group’s present, past, and future. This thesis aimed to examine the dynamics and consequences of these CMTT in light of perceived societal anomie -i.e., perceiving that current society is disintegrated and disregulated. Through nine correlational and experimental studies, we found that perceiving anomie within current society (a) lead individuals to reinterpret the national past (e.g., even more positive representations of the former French president Charles de Gaulle) (b) fostered the projection of negative, anxiety-inducing national futures and (c) influenced the relationships between people’s representations of the national past and future (e.g., declinist representations of the nation across time that were steeper when current society was perceived as highly anomic). Moreover, these CMTT were in turn associated with people’s current support for and intention to engage in various types of actions aimed at defending France (including anti-immigration actions)

Abstract:
Episodic memory and episodic future thinking appear to be fundamentally linked, sharing many commonalities that have led numerous theorists to claim that they rely on the same neural system and develop simultaneously. On the other hand a number of striking temporal asymmetries have also been observed in the way that we think about the past and the future: events in the future appear to be valued more than those in the past, feel closer in subjective time and elicit stronger emotions. The aim of this thesis was two-fold in that it considered both of these areas of the mental time travel literature. Developmental research into the link between past and future mental time travel is limited therefore, Studies 1a and 1 b examined 3-to 10-year-olds' past and future narratives. The findings suggest that the proposed link between episodic past and future thinking may be more complex among children than adults and raise doubts over the manner in which previous studies have interpreted the relations between narratives for past and future events. Studies 2a-3c explored the developmental profile of temporal asymmetries in mental time travel. Until now a developmental account of temporal asymmetries in value, emotion and subjective temporal distance was absent; therefore Studies 2a-3c make original contributions to knowledge. Over the course of these studies, appropriate tasks and methodologies were identified for examining such asymmetries in children and adolescents. The evidence emerging from these studies suggests that the type of task used (hypothetical versus real event tasks) in developmental studies is crucial, whilst these different asymmetries did not appear to emerge at the same stage in development. These studies offer a comprehensive and wide-ranging developmental consideration of mental time travel, not only examining the similarities in the same way as previous developmental studies, but also considering the temporal asymmetries in mental time travel.

Hill, Joanna. "Mental time travel in schools : children's counterfactual thinking : the educational implications." Thesis, Cardiff University, 2015. http://orca.cf.ac.uk/77186/.
Abstract:
The current research study explores the use of counterfactual thinking by children in school settings. Counterfactual thinking is entertaining imaginative thoughts about what might have been -‐ the 'what if' or 'if only' thoughts. Research has shown regularities in the way that people think counterfactually and has suggested that the focus of these thoughts is influenced by the order of events prior to an event (temporal and causal order) and there are strong links with self-‐ evaluative emotions (e.g., regret and blame) and social judgements (e.g., blame). The first section will entail a comprehensive and in-‐depth review of the existing literature with regards to this area and its links to educational practice. The empirical study, found in the second section, is primarily aimed at addressing the order effects within counterfactual thinking using quantitative and qualitative methods. Consequently, 121 children were asked to answer questions about two scenarios. In addition, this research adopted a mixed-‐design approach and a series of interviews were carried out with 13 pupils, randomly selected from the children who took part in the quantitative stage of the study. These pupils were asked specific questions about their responses to the scenarios. Two focus groups comprising of teachers of some of the pupils who took part in the study were also set up to elicit views, more generally, on children's thinking about school-‐based events. The temporal order effect was observed in the sentence completion task and for blame questions but not for questions about regret and blame. The causal order effect was observed in the choice of first event to focus on but not for the question of blame. Thematic analysis of the qualitative data indicated that children thought of order to explain their choices but also created stories to explain their ideas. A few children described their choices in terms of automatic thoughts; locus of control was also a theme from the interviews. Analysis of teachers' views suggested that they felt negatively about children's thinking in terms of events in school and made links between pupils' thought patterns and their emotional experiences. In addition, the teachers believed that children should take more responsibility for their actions. Interpretations of the findings are discussed with regard to children’s thinking, emotions and behaviour. Implications for educators and educational psychologists are considered.

Abstract:
The main objective of this master thesis is to clarify the nested structure in time consciousness, depending on mental time travel and episodic memory. Time consciousness, mental time travel and episodic memory are connected, and function depending on each other. Mental time travel ability enables us to imagine personal future events. Episodic memory allows us to travel mentally into both past and future. Similarity between remembering the past and imagining the future indicates that episodic memory system contribute to future-directed personal mental time travel competence, and justifies the relation between episodic memory and mental time travel into both past and future. Episodic memory requires autonoetic consciousness, which can be applied to mental time travel competence, and mental time travel is a function of episodic memory. Distinguishing humans and non-humans is a method to understand the role of episodic memory and mental time travel in time consciousness. Episodic memory and mental time travel indicate to a higher-level time consciousness in humans, because mental time travel, episodic memory, autonoetic consciousness and recursive language are unique to humans, while non-humans show future-directed acts, possess episodic-like memory, and communicate with limited ways. Time consciousness is derived from the notion of autonoetic consciousness and it is a sort of temporal consciousness which enables us to be conscious of ourselves who travels in time and aware of ourselves along the temporal line. Non-humans have a rudimentary form of time consciousness, even they are deprived of autonoetic consciousness.

Abstract:
Mental time travel (MTT) refers to an individual’s ability to mentally travel through subjective time, autonoetically re-experiencing past events under the form of autobiographical memories (past MTT), and pre-experiencing events as future autobiographical representations (future MTT). MTT can occur voluntarily, whereby a past/future autobiographical event is subjectively experienced as an intended occurrence, or involuntarily, wherein such an event is subjectively experienced as an unintended outcome of which the individual is aware. Studies investigating MTT’s characteristics in dysphoria and depression show that dysphoric and depressed individuals produce more overgeneral and negative MTT events when compared to control groups. However, existing research has been limited to past and voluntary MTT events, with few studies investigating involuntary MTT and future MTT in dysphoria and depression. The overarching aim of the present research was to compare the phenomenological characteristics of MTT in dysphoric individuals vs. normal mood individuals (Study 1), and in clinically depressed individuals vs. never-depressed individuals (Study 2), with the purpose of furthering existing knowledge on MTT and its relation with dysphoria and Major Depressive Disorder. This aim was addressed by conducting two studies, using a 2 x (2 x 2) mixed-factorial design, with temporality (past vs. future events) and type of retrieval (voluntary vs. involuntary events) as within-subjects independent variables, and participant group as a between-subjects variable. In Study 1, Portuguese university students were categorised into a dysphoric (n=17) or a normal mood group (n=39) depending on their score on the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-IA) – cutoff point (≥ 10). In Study 2, clinically diagnosed depressed patients (n=32) were recruited from a Portuguese hospital and matched for age and gender with never-depressed control participants (n=32) recruited from the community. The dependent variables tested were: level of spatiotemporal specificity, self-relevance, mood and physical impact, valence, and visual perspective of the MTT events produced. A diary methodology was used in both studies, with an open-ended time period that lasted for a minimum of two weeks, for participants to record their MTT events and grade them on the above mentioned variables using Likert-type ratings. Between seven and fourteen MTT events were produced for each of the four MTT conditions (past voluntary, past involuntary, future voluntary, future involuntary). Results showed that when compared to their respective control groups, depressed, but not dysphoric participants, exhibited a clear influence of mood on several of the phenomenological characteristics of MTT. In Study 1 there were no statistically significant differences in the specificity, negative valence, and mood/physical impact of the MTT events produced by dysphoric and normal mood participants. On the contrary, in Study 2, results partially supported a lower specificity and fully supported a greater negativity and mood/physical impact of MTT events in depressed individuals compared with never-depressed participants. Both studies supported the greater self-relevance of voluntary MTT events and partially supported the hypothesised effect of type of retrieval in specificity. These were the first studies to directly compare past and future, voluntary and involuntary MTT events in dysphoric and depressed individuals, addressing existing gaps in the literature. The key limitation is the relatively small sample size of both studies, however each participant was comprehensively assessed for at least two weeks, providing a rich set of reliable data. Despite limitations, this thesis provides novel pilot findings that help understand the similarities and differences between involuntary and voluntary, past and future MTT, as well as providing new information regarding the possible role of MTT in dysphoria and depression.

Abstract:
Recent research showed that a network of brain regions known as the Default Mode Network (DMN), including the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC), is active when individuals remember the past, imagine the future, take the perspective of others, as well as during spontaneous cognition (mind wandering). The goal of this dissertation is to investigate whether the vmPFC plays a crucial role during DMN-related cognitive processes, such as MTT and mind wandering. Experiment 1 revealed that a damage to the vmPFC provokes the disruption of past and future MTT and a decreased ability to imagine future other-related episodes. vmPFC role extends to imagining events that are not self-relevant indicating that vmPFC is crucial for the imagination of complex experiences alternative to the current reality. In experiment 2, findings showed that a lesion to vmPFC disrupts the ability to construct complex atemporal scenarios. However, unlike the control groups, vmPFC patients had more difficulties in imagining future compared to fictitious experiences, suggesting that vmPFC is more critical for the simulation of future episodes. Experiment 3 revealed that these results are not explained by the disruption of non-episodic capabilities, such as narrative and working memory abilities. Furthermore, experiment 4 explored the effect of a lesion to vmPFC on the occurrence of mind wandering. A damage to the vmPFC provokes a decreased propensity to mind-wander, showing that vmPFC supports spontaneous cognition. Experiment 5 confirmed the involvement of the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) in supporting mind wandering. Using the transcranial direct current stimulation to inhibit the mPFC we could decrease the intensity of mind wandering in males. Together, these results point out the fundamental role of vmPFC in allowing human beings to escape the here and now, whether it occurs deliberately or spontaneously.

Abstract:
Vi ställs dagligen inför väldigt många val och beroende på vilka val vi väljer att göra kommer dessa till stor del att påverka hur vi lever vårt liv och även hur tillfreds vi kommer att vara med livet. Vi baserar många av våra val på känslomässiga förutsägelser som är våra antaganden om hur framtida händelser kommer att påverka oss känslomässigt. Våra känslomässiga förutsägelser är dessvärre ofta påverkade av olika bias som gör att vi missbedömer hur starkt och under hur lång tid vi kommer att reagera känslomässigt på kommande händelser, vilket i sin tur påverkar vilka val vi kommer att göra. Den här uppsatsen kommer att undersöka hur våra känslomässiga förutsägelser påverkar vårt subjektiva välbefinnande och även hur förståelse för detta skulle kunna användas i psykologisk coachning i form av interventioner för att hjälpa människor att göra fler val som leder till ett ökat subjektivt välbefinnande.

Abstract:
Intertemporal choice is certainly a matter of study dear to economists, for many decisions which are economic in nature reflect its commonsensical feature, that of an action whose associated consequences are deferred in time and, therefore, temporally separated from the decision itself. Given the great deal of occurrences in which our immediate choices have inevitably delayed outcomes, it only seems sensible to focus our attention on the mental processes behind the attribution of value in intertemporal setting and on the manners in which such mechanisms challenge the traditional economic models of intertemporal choice: the first chapter of this work is entrusted with this goal.
The ability to simulate and access future states, emotions and contingencies, both involving us as protagonists and mere participants, in particular, seems to be crucial for a reliable, useful and, perhaps, successful evaluation of future situations and associated outcomes. Mental time travel refers to our faculty to mentally project ourselves backwards in time to re-live given events, or, forwards to pre-live them. Evolutionary considerations well allow for the possibility that a vivid memory and an imaginative foresight may be pivotal cognitive mechanisms for human decision-making processes, constituting a system with notable flexibility features in its design to grant ourselves outstanding adaptability in a complex, dynamic environment. The second chapter unravels by discussing the necessary conditions and the neural substrates identifiable in mental time travel engagement, as well as its implications, reviewing the evolutionary grounds speculated to have allowed for its emergence in the first place and their relevance in economic terms, and dedicating much needed attention to studies investigating mental time travel aptitude in nonhuman animals.
The work then proceeds to disclose its experimental core in Chapters III and IV.

Abstract:
The hegemonic meaning of depression as a universal mental illness embodied by an individualized subject is propped up by psychiatry’s clinical gaze. Cinemas of Therapeutic Activism turns to the work of contemporary filmmakers who express a shared concern for mental health under global capitalism to explore how else depression can be perceived. In taking their critical visions as intercessors for thought, Adam Szymanski proposes a thoroughly relational understanding of depression attentive to eventful, collective and contingent qualities of subjectivity. What emerges is a melancholy aesthetics attuned to the existential contours and political stakes of health. Cinemas of Therapeutic Activism adventurously builds affinities across the lines of national, linguistic and cultural difference. The films of Angela Schanelec, Kelly Reichardt, Apichatpong Weerasethakul and Kanakan Balintagos are grouped together for the first time, constituting a polystylistic common front of artist-physicians who live, work, and create on the belief that life can be more liveable.

Abstract:
AbstractNo matter how hard you try—pinching different parts of your body, slapping your face, or moving restlessly in your seat—you cannot prevent your mind from occasionally escaping from the present experience as you enter into a mental navigation mode. Sometimes spontaneously, others deliberately, your mind may move to a different time—you may see yourself running an experiment inspired by the chapter you just finished reading or you may imagine yourself on a quantum leap into the future as you fantasize about the delivery of your Nobel Prize acceptance speech. Your mind may move to a distinct space, for example, as you replay last weekend’s party or anticipate a most desirable date, and may even venture into the mind of another (e.g., as you embody the mind of the author you are currently reading). Our minds can accomplish all this mental navigation in fractions of a second, allowing us to see ourselves or even impersonate different people across space and time. While teleportation and time travel may never be physically possible, our wandering minds are indeed very accomplished “time machines” (Suddendorf T, Corballis MC, Behav Brain Sci 30(3), 2007).

Abstract:
As engineering systems become more complex, there is a growing need for interdisciplinary collaboration to achieve design and business objectives. Individuals with hetergoenous mental models are under pressure to optimize and make trades across performance, quality, cost and time. Engineering of complex systems requires these teams to work together effectively, which in turn necessitates collective sensemaking. Collective sensemaking is defined as an ability to gain sufficient shared understanding of a system so that taking effective action is possible. Current research has focused on qualitative approaches to capture sensemaking over time and to evaluate that data after the fact. Accordingly, research of sensemaking processes in real-time remains a challenge, with underlying operating mechanisms of collective sensemaking not yet well understood. This research proposes and prototypes measurements that map sensemaking concepts to sensemaking phenomena during systems work by cross-functional teams. An experimental approach is proposed. An initial study deploys a questionnaire that correlates instances of teamwork sensemaking to team-level observable practices. Next steps are described for integration of these measures into engineering team workshops for non-intrusive detection of sensemaking in real time.

Abstract:
As a result of technological progress, environmental aspects and social change, the automotive industry is undergoing a radical transformation. The focus is no longer on the product "vehicle" but much more on the mobility service itself and the users individual experience and well-being during travel time. In that field of innovation, the study deals with a explorative investigation of using the travel time for a improvement of the mental health of the passenger. The vision is to integrate breathwork relaxation in combination with a human centric lighting scenario as an immersive service within luxury ride-hailing vehicles to enhance the mental health during automated rides and utilizing the time spent in cars for personal pleasure. To enable a user-centered and experimental approach, a test vehicle from the non-profit company bq.Labs was equipped with the bq breath work app and a spezialized LED-based lighting screen that was developed by Fraunhofer. The effects were tested on randomly selected and voluntary users in a guerrilla testing at three different locations in San Diego. The tests explored user acceptance of the innovative technologies by combining surveys, vital data collection, qualitative interviews and observations. Initial data analysis provides insights into the feasibility and potential effects on well-being and user perception. The study illustrates those innovations in the field of mobility, involve systemic dependencies and considerations beyond technology, encompassing social and psychological dimensions. It underscores that successful innovations require a holistic, user-centered approach that considers technological, social, and psychological dimensions. The findings lay the groundwork for future research and development of innovation strategies in the evolving field of mobility and personalized strength.

Abstract:
Immersive three-dimensional (3D) model review is a key use case for Virtual Reality (VR) in engineering endeavours. The stereoscopic image provided by VR headsets enables users to naturally perceive the 3D model; this bypasses the mental effort needed when viewing 3D on a regular display and viewers can easily grasp the complexities. This technology is particularly beneficial for team members who aren't design experts, such as construction staff, the Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) team, and Subject Matter Experts (SMEs). VR allows these users to actively engage, understand, and contribute valuable insights to the design team in real-time. Now that remote working and online meetings are standard practices, VR meetings are the next step and a natural progression for collaborative design reviews. VR headsets with internet connectivity empower teams to collectively scrutinize 3D models and LIDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) point cloud scans. This user-centric, immersive review approach:-Engages a broader set of stakeholders in the design process,-Swiftly highlights design and layout flaws, and-Facilitates a safer construction sequence, especially when Building Information Modelling (BIM) is used.VR in engineering is therefore a triple-win, with the potential to reduce travel costs and CO2 emissions (significant since the construction sector is responsible for around 39% of global carbon emissions), engage specialized skillsets that may be scarce or geographically dispersed, and identify design issues at earlier project stages. For the latter, there is an outsize cost reduction gain since it is well established that project cost escalation has a significantly non-linear upward trajectory (North American Space Institute (NASA), 2004). Since the construction industry amasses a staggering $2500 billion in rework costs annually (representing 13% of the industry's total budget), early detection of issues is highly important to the success of any project.This paper delves into the workflows of VR design review, exploring how they have been successfully applied in large-scale capital projects, encompassing: -VR hardware and software solutions (current at the time of writing),-Details of a staged roll-out model that reduces barriers to adoption, and-Examples from real-world case studies.

Abstract:
Our mental state influences how we behave in and interact with the everyday world. Both uncertainty and emotions can alter our mental state and, thus, our behaviour. Although the relationship between uncertainty and emotions has been studied, research into this relationship in the context of daily travel is lacking. Emotions may influence uncertainty, just like uncertainty could trigger emotional responses. In this paper, a study is presented that explores the relationship between uncertainty and emotional states in the context of daily travel. Using a diary study method with 25 participants, emotions and uncertainty that are experienced during daily travel while using multiple modes of transport, were tracked for a period of 14 days. Diary studies allowed us to gain detailed insights and reflections on the emotions and uncertainty that participants experienced during their day-to-day travels. The diary allowed the participants to record their time-sensitive experiences in their relevant context over a longer period. These daily logs were made by the participants in the m-Path application. Participants logged their daily transportation modes, their emotions using the Geneva Emotion Wheel, and the uncertainty that they experienced while travelling. Results show that emotions and uncertainty influence each other simultaneously, with no clear causality. Specifically, this study observed a significant correlation between negative valence emotions (disappointment and fear) and uncertainty, which emphasises the importance of uncertainty and the management of negative valence emotions in travel experiences.

FACULTY OF HOTEL MANAGEMENT AND TOURISM IN VRNJAČKA BANJA UNIVERSITY OF KRAGUJEVAC, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.52370/tisc21232dc.
Abstract:
The American National Institute of Mental Health announced that 10% of the total adult population has some kind of phobia. With the appearance of the COVID - 19 infection, and the huge consequences it left behind, there is a growing fear of people deciding to travel. There is a growing fear of infection after a year, but also a fear of lack of money, at a time when protection measures have destroyed tourism and hospitality. About 6,000 experts, including many scientists from the UK, say Covid measures are physically and mentally harmful to health, as well as to the social environment and the economy. The authors of the paper conducted an online research on the degree of strength of two types of fear that potentially influence the decision to travel. The research was conducted during 2020, on a total sample of 250 respondents. Confirming the reliability of the questionnaire, the obtained results were processed in the software SPSS, 23.00. Descriptive statistical analysis, and multiple regression analysis, confirmed the hypothesis that fears are present in all respondents, and that both types of fears are important in predicting and making travel decisions.

Abstract:
The COVID-19 pandemic affected the entire world in various ways. It influenced the global order, lives, livelihoods, travel, workspace, digital systems and most importantly the health systems. One unarguably the most unusual and striking effect of the pandemic has been on the mental health of people worldwide as lives underwent drastic changes in the pandemic. As the pandemic continues, the demand for mental health treatment is only increasing with focus on more personalized and customized healthcare as each individual has his/her own sets of issues, fears and insecurities and ‘one size-fits-all’ approach cannot be practiced in such cases. This paper presents a comprehensive solution in the form of a novel stress monitoring system that detects stress levels and guides the person to relax by pursuing a hobby like watching a meditative video or distract for some time and play some soothing game. It also alerts his personal psychiatrist or doctor who can then check up on him and prescribe him appropriate treatment and medication in case of high stress levels.

NYC: MSF-USA, 2024. http://dx.doi.org/10.57740/rpzy6fl.
Abstract:
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Globally, one in four infants is born too small or too early and is therefore at increased risk of poor growth and development, ill-health and death. In South Sudan, vulnerability is further exacerbated by recurring conflict and climatic shocks. Five primary healthcare facilities across four States introduced the integrated care pathway (ICP) for small and nutritionally at-risk infants and their mothers (MAMI), ensuring continuity of mother-infant-centred care. This study explored the acceptability of the ICP among care providers and care users. METHODS A mixed-method study followed a cohort of 521 infant-mother pairs at moderate risk from October 2022 to December 2023 until the infant reached 6 months. The ICP involved screening for vulnerability in both the community and health facility, assessing and classifying risk, and tailoring care to address physical health, mental health, nutritional and socio- economic factors of both infants and their mothers. Acceptability and adherence of the ICP was appraised based on experienced cognitive, socio-economic, and emotional responses from 20 health workers and 30 enrolled mothers interviewed. RESULTS Most of the 521 moderate-risk pairs receiving care (84%) no longer showed risk factors (defined as recovered) at the end of care. Mothers’ adherence to returning for scheduled follow-up visits was low (56%). Facilitators included improved care for their infant, facilitated access to healthcare, supportive environment for adopting healthy behaviours. Barriers included not understanding vulnerability and health monitoring, long waiting time at the health facility, not receiving tangible items compared to other services, transportation challenges and conflicting messages within the healthcare system and from the family context. Among health workers, the acceptability of the ICP was enabled by early care for a neglected population and hampered by more and longer consultations not part of regular duties using lengthy assessment forms. The collaborative learning system engaged health workers in improving quality of care, adapting implementation modalities to the local health system, and addressing barriers early. CONCLUSIONS Collective adaptive learning on implementing the ICP contributed to understanding barriers to implementation and addressing risk factors for vulnerable infants and their mothers early. Context-specific and generalizable learning will inform policy guidance.

Abstract:
Performance sports and sedentary lifestyle are two sides of the same coin. Conditioned by determination and work, achieving performance is much facilitated by the emergence and continuous improvement of electronic devices: simulators, software for the fine and detailed analysis of technical aspects, applications for data management and the prediction of competitive performances, etc. On the other hand, ordinary population not involved in sports activity is more or less sedentary. Paradoxically, the emergence of sedentary lifestyle has become possible just because of technological modernization. The world we live in provides fewer and fewer opportunities to practice physical activity, and the more the daily living is facilitated by modern technology, the more it becomes the source of various physical and mental health problems. At the same time, decreasing the level of physical exercise is, among others, a consequence of the sedentary content of many forms of recreation, because the main entertaining activity is closely related to the computer keyboard or, more recently, that of cell phone. This paper focuses on the latest electronic game, Pokémon Go, which no longer sticks the practitioners in front of the computer, but gets them out of their houses and forces them to travel by walking, running, or even alternately, in full consonance with the message of World Health Organization, which urges us to consume 300 calories daily through movement. Our study tries to determine whether the release of the new game is just a financial boom or, on the contrary, an attempt to avoid sedentary lifestyle, combining the fascination of the game with the need for movement. Conclusions are based on the analysis of responses to a questionnaire addressed to a heterogeneous sample of players.
