Community and public gatherings are an important component of political participation in sub-Saharan Africa. Formal and informal community meetings and rallies are instrumental to the practice of politics in many parts of the continent. However, little multidimensional research has focused on the drivers of this form of political participation in an African context. This study will examine determinants...

This study aims to identify secondary school students' level of awareness of renewable energy sources. The study's method combined quantitative and qualitative research techniques. A five-point Likert scale was developed to quantitatively measure awareness of these energy sources. The scale was analysed for validity and reliability, and it addressed cognitive and affective sub-dimensions of awareness...

Complex industrial systems, including mining, have a prominent challenge in understanding the interrelationship among the cognitive processes, working environment and available equipment. The concept of cognitive work analysis (CWA) transcends the traditional analytic methods of evaluating human tasks solely based on perceptual and physical traits, and rather implements the notions of behavioral and...

Explicit visual representations of domain knowledge have the potential to support students engaged in scientific inquiry learning activities on an epistemic level. This can be facilitated using computational methods for the extraction of concepts from student generated knowledge artefacts such as hypotheses, concept maps, or wiki articles. We propose an application of this approach in the context...

Adoption of preparedness measures among the US public remains low after the expansion of the all-hazards approach to personal preparedness campaigns following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 (9/11). This study sought to understand factors influencing preparedness behavior, particularly how demographics might influence preparedness behavior and whether preparedness actions are related to...

To achieve this goal, in this study we first used in-depth interviews with student teachers in the education service business to understand their motives for starting their own businesses, their entrepreneurial ability and the elements for starting their own businesses. The results showed that...

Situational awareness (SA) is the understanding of an environment and how one's actions affect it. We present the Cognitive Air Defense Training System (CADTS) Engagement Control System Simulator (ECS2), currently installed at Fort Bliss, Texas; which aims to increase the cognitive awareness and SA of radar operators of the MIM-104 Patriot surface-to-air missile system. The ECS2 presents multiple...

Situation awareness is crucial factor in decision-making. It involves monitoring and identification of relationships among objects in collaborative dynamic environments. In the domain of Airport Security one of the main needs is to support the security operator to manage in real-time risk scenarios in the airside. This work relies on a cognitive approach to model the awareness ontology and introduces...

Research shows that most agent-based collaborations suffer from lack of flexibility. This is due to the fact that most agent-based applications assume pre-defined knowledge of agents' capabilities and/or neglect basic cognitive and interactional requirements in multi-agent collaboration. The highlight of this paper is that it brings cognitive models (inspired from cognitive sciences and HCI) proposing...
