The Relationship between Drivers' Hazard Perception Ability and Cognitive Traits of Empathizing-Systemizing: Pilot Study based on Gaze Response Speed | Chapter 05 | Innovations in Science and Technology Vol. 7

 Introduction: Previous research (Danno & Taniguchi, 2015) demonstrated that the Empathy Quotient (EQ) reduced near-miss incident experience and was disturbed by the Systemizing Quotient (SQ) when the Empathy Quotient was low, based on the Empathizing and Systemizing (E-S) model using a web questionnaire survey [1]. It means that drivers with a low EQ and a high SQ had a higher rate of near-miss occurrences. It was stated that drivers with a stronger Empathizing function may have superior danger perception ability, despite the fact that when Empathizing is bad, the Systemizing function may weaken hazard perception ability. The D score (standard SQ (T) score minus standard EQ (T) score) of the near-miss incident was later discovered to have a significant impact on the near-miss occurrence experience.

Method: Those findings suggested that a D score, which is used to categorise "E-S kinds," should be connected to near-miss incident experience, i.e., hazard perception ability. The D ratings were supposed to be related to the cognitive ability to evaluate the mental conditions of other road users and predict their behaviour, or to recognise stable laws in traffic scenarios. The goal of this study was to examine the association between a driver's physical visual attention capacity (gaze movement) and hazard (near-miss incident) perception ability at various D levels. Drivers' Real-time Useful Field of View (rUFOV) [2] was tested in a driving simulator with six traffic scenarios under normal and rapid driving conditions.

The results of seven persons with varying D scores demonstrated that under hurried driving situations, a driver's visual attention ability (gaze movement) diminishes in proportion to their scores.

Conclusion: Because a D score is used to categorise "E-S types," this pilot study raised the possibility that individual differences in cognitive trait utilising the E-S model could be a potential approach for studying the process of hazard perception.

Greening Regional Airports: A Vision for Carbon Neutral Infrastructure | Chapter 12 | Contemporary Perspective on Science, Technology and Research Vol. 3

 This study provides an overview of the energy demand of a regional airport, divided into individual time horizons. The electrification of aircraft systems raises the question of whether airports will be among the largest electricity consumers in our infrastructure in the future. Sustainability and especially emission reductions are significant challenges for airports that are currently being addressed. The Clean Sky 2 project GENESIS addresses the environmental sustainability of hybrid-electric 50-passenger aircraft systems in a life cycle perspective to support the development of a technology roadmap for the transition to sustainable and competitive electric aircraft systems. This article originates from the GENESIS research and describes various options for ground power supply at a regional airport. Potential solutions for airport infrastructure with a short (2030), medium (2040), and long (2050) time horizon are proposed. In addition to the environmental and conservation benefi...

Alkali Element Modification of Glucose Molecules as a Method to Dissolve Cancer Cells | Chapter 12 | New Visions in Medicine and Medical Science Vol. 4

  The present study highlights about alkali element modification of glucose molecules as a method to dissolve cancer cells. The central regulation of the mechanisms governing cell proliferation has little effect on cancer cells. Cancer cells are entirely independent of the central command and divide and proliferate on their own, making it challenging to activate their response mechanism. Precisely, this is the reason why they are at risk to the health of humans and/or any biological entities. Instead of trying to reconnect the central command of the growth control mechanism to cancer cells that are already out of the range, we present a method of using the cancer cell’s own irresponsive and uncontrolled growth mechanism to their disadvantage and destroy the cancer cells. We found that this is achievable in an atomic/molecular level study of the glucose molecule, which is the primary food source used for growth and energy generation by all cells in the body, including the cancer cel...

Diagnosis and Management of Scrapie in Post Mortem Goats by Immunohistochemistry | Chapter 6 | New Visions in Medicine and Medical Science Vol. 4

  The main objective of this study was to contribute to the annual passive surveillance for this pathology, since the goats are a species considered reservoir for the prion. A class of pathologies known as Transmissible Spongiform Illnesses (TSEs), which affect both humans and animals, includes scrapie, a neurological disease with a slow and deadly course that affects sheep, goats, and mouflons. Given that Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is the globally accepted technique for identifying classical scrapie in goats—a species thought to be a potential zoonotic disease reservoir. Chile in relation to Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE), is classified as a disease-free country. Scrapie is actively monitored for the sheep, but passively for the caprine species, which is why this study was carried out in slaughtered goats in the central north of the country (IV Region), to provide information to the surveillance system for this disease. Fifty brains of goats older than 2 years were used, r...
