Design and Emotion

In Saudi Arabia, significant investments in fitness field reinforcements were started since the announcement of the 2030 vision. Instagram is a popular marketing platform for fitness professionals. This study investigates the challenges Saudi female fitness trainers face when using Instagram as a personal branding tool. A purposive, typical sample of eleven Saudi female fitness trainers participated in two focus groups. The results indicated that factors such as media coverage, branding professionals and branding awareness were needed to enhance the personal branding strategies among the trainers. Social shyness was found as a personal barrier, which was associated with society's expectations' of females' social roles. There was also a relation between the type of sport and the choices to start the personal branding journey. Moreover, religious values, family traditions, and conservatism were identified as the main challenges for Saudi female fitness trainers.

Emotions in the context of UX are generally evaluated in regard to product appearance and sensorial experience. The use of virtual reality can be a way to study UX in consumer products. We want to evaluate if we could increase emotional responses using a virtual reality immersive system. For that purpose, we used the GAPED picture database and compared valence and arousal ratings of GAPED and those obtained using virtual reality. Results showed that arousal was higher in virtual reality for all images, and valence was negatively extreme for images of living creatures usually associated with phobias (spiders and snakes). Nonetheless being this is a pilot study, we conclude that there is a tendency for Virtual Reality to increase emotional responses.

The market today is invaded by a lot of products, line extensions and a variety of brands that compete for positioning, recall and be first when making a purchase decision. The processes of persuasion are made through the conceptual values of the brand in combining proper sharp image, in this experimental study whose primary objective was to determine if the value of the brand affects the perception of affective image, participated 423 Students University in Mexico City from 19 to 25 years. Ninety photographs of the IAPS (International Affective Picture System) model bioinformational Lang (1994) highly emotional, with 30 positive feedbacks (6-9 points) and 30 negative (1-3 points) were used. Emotional and 30 neutral images (4-5 points). Subsequently 30 brands positioned in the Mexican market, selected from the list of BrandZ, Millward Brown Top 100 (2012) were taken. Each of these brands was inserted into a positive image, in a neutral and negative. The images were assessed using a Likert scale nine intervals, the pictures, recording responses, were performed through SuperLab version 4.5 program. The results suggest that the value of a brand can alter the perception of the image presented, allowing a proposed analysis in the field of marketing to develop strategies for graphic communication.

In a recent publications, radio artist Tetsuo Kogawa describes a correlation between Félix Guattari‘s concept of the machinic unconscious and Walter Benjamin‘s philosophy of history. How can such theoretical thinking, which activates two key conceptual frameworks of the long twentieth century,
inform radiophonic aesthetic practices?

The present article depicts whole work relates with the development of the mechanical project for the conception and design of an innovative cane, whose functionality goes by having the functionality of reducing the probability of the user himself falling. A great percentage of falls exists when the cane is used, in spite of its main objective to be to give support to the user. The cane is a common and plenty object known by the people and it should have a function more relevance in the life of these, that is, to prevent the falls better. With the existence of several technology types it is incomprehensible to verify that the human gait aids more available on the market do not provide more safety. It was verified that the user when is in unbalance support more weight in the cane, for consequence, the user may fall due to the support lack. For not happen that, it was concluded by the authors that the best solution would be to fasten the base of the cane to the floor when the user felt in unbalance. Like this, in this work, it was conceived a prototype that fix to the floor through vacuum suckers.

O presente artigo relata todo o trabalho de desenvolvimento do projeto mecânico que foi realizado para a conceção, projeto, construção e validação de uma bengala inovadora, cuja funcionalidade passa por ter a funcionalidade de diminuir a probabilidade de ocorrência de quedas do utilizador. Existe uma grande percentagem de quedas quando a bengala é utilizada, apesar do seu objetivo principal ser dar suporte ao utilizador. A bengala é um objeto comum e bastante conhecido pelas pessoas e devia ter uma função mais impactante na vida destas, isto é, prevenir melhor as quedas dos que a usam. Com a existência de vários tipos de tecnologia é um bocado incompreensível verificar que estes auxiliares de marcha não evoluírem para um equipamento que pudesse providenciar mais segurança. Verificou-se que o utilizador quando está em desequilíbrio apoia-se em demasia na bengala fazendo-a cair, por consequência, dá-se a queda do utilizador devido à falta de apoio. Para não acontecer essa ausência de ...

We propose an experiential quality called evocative balance as key in designing for affective interaction that aims to empower users in and through the interaction. Evocative balance draws on the dual meaning of the word "evoke" in characterizing the user's sense that data and actions evoke familiar recollections of lived experience, yet are still open enough to evoke multiple interpretations in an ongoing process of co-constructive making of meaning. Our aim is to capture those experiences that resonate with our lived, everyday, social and bodily experiences; those experiences that we can recognise in ourselves and, through empathy, in others. We elaborate on and substantiate the meaning of this quality by means of retrospective reflection on three of our own design projects. This account provides detailed insights on how to find the balance between openness and familiarity through design.

This research addresses from the perspective of design and emotion, the emotional relationship that women have with their shoes. It aims to describe the general emotional relationships that women who claim to love or like a lot shoes establish with this type of product. The history of female footwear allows us to understand the evolution of their functions, especially from the moment when fashion began to influence its configuration. In view of this, the reasoning of this research includes the influence of fashion, fetish and symbolism assigned to shoes, perception of comfort and risk and about the use of women's footwear. To better understand how people's preferences and desires in the context of product configuration, were also considered the product's functions, the role of emotions related to objects and product semantics. From the literature review, we selected twenty-eight categories related to emotions with products in order to assist in the description of affective relationships between women and their shoes. These relationships were explored by analyzing the speech of women which declare to really like shoes. Thus, we conducted in-depth interviews with a group of eleven women between 19 and 44 years, residents of the metropolitan area of Porto Alegre. The interviews followed a protocol that addressed the buying motivation, usage motivation, preference, care and feelings related to the footwear. The data analysis was done with the aid of the twenty-eight categories addressed in the literature on design and emotion, and was divided in two axes. The first considers the responses of all women for every topic and protocol issue and the second examines the responses of each respondent individually. The results of this research indicate that the motives of affection for shoes are based on comfort, versatility, the approval of others (praise) and aesthetics.

Se asume tradicionalmente que los infinitivos de las subordinadas sustantivas que complementan a los verbos no pueden construirse con sujeto expreso porque este no podría recibir Caso. En este trabajo se muestra que los verbos psicológicos constituyen una excepción sistemática a este hecho conocido. Se explica asimismo por qué la estructura abordada no corresponde a otras, largamente analizadas en la bibliografía, y se argumenta que sus propiedades fundamentales se reducen, en buena medida, a las relaciones de control. Se explica, finalmente, que la asigna-ción excepcional de Caso se daba a menudo en español antiguo (y se da hoy oca-sionalmente) en construcciones en las que el sujeto del infinitivo no está legitima-do por una relación de concordancia, sea esta explícita o encubierta.

The use of day-to-day life artifacts is a key phase in the lifecycle of products. Indeed it has a great impact on our environment. User centered methods are not yet taken into account in eco-design approaches. These methods are being developed in two ways, by building new user models encompassing complex dimensions such as Kansei and experience, including values and moods, and by integrating the user himself in the design process. This paper deals with setting-up a new theoretical framework associating user-centered design advanced approaches such as experience design, Kansei studies, or participative design and eco-design methods. The final goal is to support product design by providing some guidelines according to environmental issues linked to the users and their abilities.

the most important step in research comes when the artifact itself, the way in which it is used and its effect on the person involved yield information back." a) qualities a future artifact should have (i.e. the goal of the design), b) means needed to produce an artifact (methods, activities and resources), and c) definition of goals and designing of methods for the use of the final artifact (i.e. planning of use, operation, service, maintenance and redesigning of the final artifact). Design for rehabilitation engineering requires that we utilize all the means at our disposal to acquire information. We need to try and place ourselves in the user's situation, before and during the entire design process. The process cannot be considered complete just because the product is there and functioning in application. Certec,

Despite their increased recognition as a valid educational tool and resource by teachers, video games have often been associated with many stereotypes and alleged to have negative effects on gamers' physical and mental health. Several studies have shown that digital games played beyond a reasonable length of time, like any other activity, can have negative effects on players -and this was illustrated by the recent World Health Organisation's classification of gaming disorder. However, gaming disorder is thought to affect only a small proportion of players. At the same time, many studies have consistently shown that if good gaming habits are followed (e.g. time, frequency, environment, moderator for online games, etc.), playing games can be considered a safe and fulfilling activity and that gaming can bring many health benefits to players. Many educators have understood that video games can play an important part in education or training and have been using immersive environments and gaming technologies in order to reach their students, to harness their creativity, and to encourage them to learn by doing. This shift in teaching practices has been supported by improvements in gaming technologies and the availability of applications that make it easier to introduce, amongst other things, programming concepts to novices.

Research on groups of subjects has contributed to understanding the influence of collective behavior on learning. The detection of physiological parameters by biosensors can contribute to the evaluation of such behaviors, and self-report feedback is a possible tool to validate the detected parameters. However, situations of social distance such as those imposed by COVID-19 limit the evaluation of these groups. Seeking to reduce the impact of the pandemic on data collection, this paper proposes the construction and use of a network of devices that allow the analysis of individual subjects' behavior through multiple simultaneous collections in a group activity, but performed remotely. Four prototype wearable devices were built, for the collection of voluntary data (button for specific events) and involuntary data (continuous signals from biosensors), and connected to a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). The devices were sent to geographically distant volunteers, who wore them during the same online meeting while presenting seminars. The sampling data were collected, transmitted and compiled in a dashboard, and initial findings indicate that the network is capable of providing signals with sufficient integrity for psycho-pedagogical support in research on collective learning behavior, with expert support, which is suggested as future work. The device presented, due to its open development characteristics, allows modifications for other applications beyond those presented in this text. The entire project is available for public access, so that anyone can assemble, adapt, and use it freely. Resumo: Pesquisas em grupos de sujeitos têm contribuído para compreensão da influência do comportamento coletivo na aprendizagem. A detecção de parâmetros fisiológicos por biossensores pode contribuir para a avaliação de tais comportamentos, sendo o feedback por auto-relato uma possível ferramenta para validar os parâmetros detectados. No entanto, situações de distanciamento social como as impostas pela COVID-19 limitam a avaliação desses grupos. Buscando reduzir o impacto da pandemia sobre a coleta de dados, propõe-se neste artigo a construção e uso de uma rede de dispositivos que permitam a análise do comportamento individual dos sujeitos por meio de múltiplas coletas simultâneas em uma atividade em grupo, porém realizada remotamente. Foram construídos quatro protótipos de dispositivos vestíveis, para a coleta de dados voluntários (botão para eventos específicos) e de dados involuntários (sinais contínuos de biossensores), e conectados a uma Rede de Sensores Sem Fio (RSSF). Os dispositivos foram enviados para sujeitos geograficamente distantes, que os vestiram durante uma mesma reunião online enquanto apresentavam seminários. Os dados dos sujeitos foram coletados, transmitidos e compilados em um dashboard, e conclusões iniciais indicam que o sistema é capaz de prover informações suficientemente íntegras para o apoio psicopedagógico em pesquisas sobre o comportamento coletivo na aprendizagem, mediante apoio especializado, sendo sugerido como trabalho futuro. O dispositivo apresentado, por sua característica de desenvolvimento aberto, permite modificações para outras aplicações além das apresentadas neste texto. Todo o projeto está disponível para acesso público, de forma que qualquer pessoa possa montar, adaptar e utilizar livremente.

This paper presents an experimental study that assesses the impact of novelty appraisal on user s emotional feelings and in their evaluation of user experience with commercial products. After actual interaction with 4 products differing in two levels of design typicality of design in two categories of products (cameras and highlighters) participants used a SD method for the evaluation of user experience quality, and a two-­‐dimensional mood scale survey for assessing their own emotional feeling. Likewise, participants were asked if they had seen and if they had used the products before, obtaining three cases: 1. who had already used it before (no novelty), 2. who had seen it but not used it (relative novelty) and 3. who had not seen it before (absolute novelty). The previous experience of participants with the particular product defined the degree of novelty appraisal, confirming that typical products were more likely to be appraised as known and atypical ones as novel. Results on e...

Body posture and movements play a key role in the expression and recognition of emotions during social interactions. Such signals have been used for the prediction of emotions, both when considering discrete affective labels and affective dimensions. In this work we explore how posture and movements information of the human arm can be obtained from the robot onboard sensing in order to discriminate the affective states of the human in physical Human-Robot-Interaction scenarios. Specifically we focus on the Potency dimension of the affective state, that provides information about the sense of control in situated interaction contexts. Our envisaged application scenario is assistive robotics for eldercare.

This paper discusses ideas relative to the construction of emotional artifacts that have to interact in a social world, and in particular with humans. It first exam- ines some of the ways in which emotions can enhance social interactions with artifacts, and some of the chal- lenges posed to the designer. After considering the de- bate that opposes "shallow" versus

While basic design principles tend to be visually oriented, a user-centred design perspective focuses on the product experience and hence is multi-sensory. Moreover, the sensory qualities of products can relate to perceived product personalities. This paper describes a pilot investigation in a design principles course. We used an existing product personality tool for evaluating perceptions associated with a number of small mechanical everyday products. Initially students explored links between visual qualities of products and meanings and emotional responses derived from them. Subsequently, they observed participants' multi-sensory experiences with the same products with the objective of understanding the differences in perception between purely visual experiences and other sensory layers of human-object interactions. The paper concludes that tactile and auditory sensory design attributes contribute additional and sometimes different meanings, emotional responses, and interactions to everyday products, and possibly into whole product categories. Product design educators can benefit from expanding their introduction to form-giving from a strongly visually-oriented approach to a multi-layered approach for detailing sensory characteristics of products, especially auditory and tactile features.

Game development is a multidisciplinary field that integrates software engineering, graphic design, storytelling, artificial intelligence, and user experience to create engaging digital experiences. This research explores the core principles, challenges, and innovations in game development, with a focus on contemporary trends such as procedural content generation, augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and artificial intelligence (AI) in games. Through a combination of literature review and analysis of recent industry case studies, this study identifies key factors that contribute to successful game development, including iterative design processes, robust project management practices, and the adaptation of user-centered design principles. Additionally, it examines the economic and psychological impacts of games on players, addressing issues like monetization, accessibility, and inclusivity. Findings suggest that successful games rely heavily on continuous player feedback, adaptive gameplay, and meaningful narrative structures. Future research directions are suggested, including the potential of AI to create dynamic, personalized game experiences and the implications of VR and AR on player engagement. This research provides insights for game developers, designers, and researchers aiming to enhance player satisfaction and foster sustainable innovation within the industry.

This article presents a kansei design methodology. It is placed at the very beginning of the design process and aims to influence the following steps in order to improve the user's understanding and experiencing of the designed product. The experimentation combines in a subtle way the design thinking approach of learning by doing and the kansei engineering quantitative approach. The research presented is based on the results of a previous study that defined the semantic and emotional scope of future hybrid cars for European using visual stimuli. Building on this scope this kansei design methodology creates and assesses multisensory atmospheres is order to provide tangible direction composed of vision, touch, hearing and smell stimuli. From the cognitive and affective responses of the 42 participants we were able to detail 3 directions for future cars interiors that aim to enrich the styling design briefs and to influence the design strategies such as the management of the different grades. The research presented here was supported by the Kansei Design department from Toyota Motor Europe (TME-KD). This collaboration also brought an industrial context to it.

Encontrar meios para conhecer quem é e o que deseja o usuário é uma tarefa importante e necessária para o Design. Entre a pesquisa de dados e o projeto propriamente dito existe um momento importante, que é quando o designer analisa e assimila a informação, elabora conexões e traça sua estratégia projetual. Neste sentido a contribuição da Psicologia Cognitiva vem sendo reconhecida como relevante por disponibilizar bases para uma melhor compreensão sobre as predisposições do usuário. Um de seus recursos é o Perfil de Concerns, documento organizado pelo designer para reconhecer, interpretar e estruturar as necessidades do usuário com o objetivo prático de encaminhá-las como diretrizes de projeto. Mesmo que traga um olhar mais qualificado a esta questão do usuário, este recurso não observa sua ordem de prioridades, ficando ao cargo do designer deliberar neste processo quais necessidades serão contempladas no projeto. Assim, se o designer não tem o que lhe aponte o que é mais ou menos im...

This paper is an exploration into the role of objects in the creation of the domestic interior and the establishment of a sense of ‘at home’. It argues that personal possessions create an itinerant domestic interior and proposes that this interior represents a place-unbound meaning of the home – the minimum home. The paper investigates this hypothesis by project and text. The project applies archaeological methods of research to an existing domestic interior. It is a study of modern material culture, which probes the relations between the objects, their owner and a specific site. The text develops this exploration by a theoretical analysis on the relationship between an individual and his personal possessions that draws on the fields of anthropology, philosophy and psychology. Project and text attempt to understand the material ‘at home’ constructed by one’s personal possessions and the immaterial ‘at home’ created by their relationship to their owner. The paper uses these two forms...

A cadeira de rodas é considerada um símbolo de deficiência, causando insatisfação a seus usuários. O objetivo geral deste estudo foi identificar os principais estigmas relacionados ao design da cadeira de rodas. A pesquisa é de gênero teórico e metodológico, de natureza básica e exploratória. Quanto aos procedimentos técnicos é uma pesquisa bibliográfica. Foram selecionados nove estudos de campo que envolvem pessoas com e/ou sem deficiência na compreensão do significado atribuído à cadeira de rodas. Verificou-se que o olhar diferenciado e o sentimento de compaixão das pessoas sem deficiência foram as principais relações com o estigma do produto. O design da cadeira de rodas hospitalar é o que mais transmite emoções negativas. Observou-se ainda que estudos qualitativos se mostraram mais eficazes na compreensão do estigma. Acredita-se que sejam necessárias mudanças expressivas no design das cadeiras de rodas para reduzir sua estigmatização.

This chapter genealogically analyzes the feelings, gestures and bodies of youth through the analysis of visual pieces of illustrated magazines of the twentieth century, to evidence the strategies, designs and ideas at the basis of an idea of modern youth1. In this way, I analyze the recurrences and insistences of narratives, motifs and representations of images of the young body that build senses on youth feelings as elements proper and adjusted to their vital cycle, such as melancholy and euphoria. In particular, I make an observation on the face – as a place of the body and expression of gestures and emotionality –, which presents the tensions and discourses about the emotional worlds of youth.

La conversacion constituye un genero discursivo especifico cuya interpretacion textual se lleva a cabo, contra toda logica, desafiando ciertas normas discursivas. El exito de su interpretacion radica en una serie de presuposiciones e inferencias que pueden parecer incongruentes desde una perspectiva estrictamente normativa. La complejidad cognitiva que supone la interpretacion de la conversacion espontanea, confronta al traductor profesional con dos textos (el de partida y el de llegada) que no solo difieren en la lengua, en la estructura semantica o en las reglas sintacticas, sino tambien en los usos pragmaticos, en los referentes culturales y en los habitos sociales de interpretacion. Estas reflexiones sobre la traduccion de los intercambios verbales parten de las investigaciones sobre la conversacion realizadas por linguistas y sociolinguistas como Labov (1972 y 1978), Gumperz (1989), Kerbrat-Orecchioni (1987, 1994 y 1996) y Briz (1998 y 2000), entre otros.

Este estudo consiste em uma revisão sistemática da literatura que objetiva análise de concerns dos usuários em artigos sobre o desenvolvimento de cadeiras de rodas publicados internacionalmente no período entre 2007 e 2021. A análise dos artigos baseia-se no conhecimento das áreas das publicações, das metodologias empregadas nos projetos e na forma de obtenção dos concerns e tipologia dos mesmos. Ao final, foi possível perceber a importância dada aos aspectos técnicos e ergonômicos das cadeiras de rodas em detrimento do valor estético e simbólico de tais produtos, o que interfere na aceitação e identificação do usuário para com o produto.

The automotive interior, a product that is currently part of the life of the great majority of the inhabitants of the planet, is designed to foster the perception of comfort, luxury, domain and pleasant emotions. However one must question whether it is possible that the materials used in these environments, such as polymeric fabrics, leather, foam and glass can influence the well-being of drivers and passengers of these cars. Thus, this research aims to evaluate, with the look of the design for well-being associated with product design, which are subjective notions of comfort, discomfort, emotions and well-being of people during their own interactions with materials and components used in automotive interiors. With this aim, it was applied qualitative and quantitative questionnaires with a group of 200 university students from engineering, psychology and design of the city of Porto Alegre. Even it was measured pressure and temperature distributions existing at the interface of an automotive seat during the seated position with the aid of pressure measurement sensors and infrared imager in order to investigate the relationship of these data with the responses from the questionnaires. It was concluded that the participants of this study judged the interior of popular vehicles as clean, good-looking, luxurious, easy to drive, contributing to their perception of comfort. On the other hand, there was a mild discomfort and low pressure body contact with the seats. The emotions experienced in these cases were considered more pleasant than unpleasant, but the occupants did not believe that this contributed to their well-being, even when they thought their lives as moderately to very satisfactory during the research. It was concluded with the data collected that, the interior design of popular vehicles only favours comfort, reduces discomfort and contributes to pleasant emotions but not necessarily contributes to the well-being of its occupants. Therefore, to help designers of reduced environments, a methodology has been suggested as a tool for implementation and evaluation of design variables related to comfort, discomfort, emotions and wellbeing .

We examine design factors that may evoke positive emotions in learners and investigate the effects of these positive emotions on learning. Recent research showed that the emotional design of multimedia learning material can induce positive emotions in learners that in turn facilitate comprehension and transfer. We sought to replicate these results with a different population and different mood induction procedure and examine individual emotions, and to decompose the effects of the design elements of color and shape. Study 1 showed that well-designed materials induced positive emotions and facilitated comprehension, though transfer performance was not affected by emotional design. Study 2 found that round face-like shapes both alone and in conjunction with warm color induced positive emotions. Warm colors alone, however, did not affect learners' emotions. Comprehension was facilitated by warm colors and round face-like shapes, independently as well as together. Transfer was facilitated by round face-like shapes when used with neutral colors.

Illumination was always next to book design. Among the various schools of illumination, the Timurid School is considered a turning point in Quranic illumination, and its influence can also be seen in Safavid Quranic illuminations. On the other hand, Iran's political, economic and cultural connection with India in the Safavid era also caused the growth of Gurkanid illumination in that period. Based on this, the present qualitative research examines examples of Timurid, Safavid, and Gurkanid Qur'ans in a descriptive-analytical way, using library sources. The aim of this article is to achieve the structure of Sharafeh in Quran illumination in two Timurid and Safavid periods and its effect on Sharafeh illuminations in Gurkanid Qurans. The main question of the article is: what visual characteristics did Sharafeh has in the Qur'anic illumination of the Timurid and Safavid periods? And what effect did these features have on Gurkanid Qur'anic Sharafeh? The concepts of Sharafeh in the Quranic illumination of the Timurid and Safavid periods are related to rays of sun light, and the illumination artists tried to make it to show in the Quran, what is clear is that Sharfeh has gone through its own evolutionary process in the Timurid and Safavid Qurans. Usually, the sharafeh of the Timurid period were of medium length and it is drawn in a single color, with a medium distance and with the design of two types of simple and productive balconies side by side. As in the Qur'an of Ibrahim Sultan, which was made in Shiraz, these characteristics are clearly evident. In the early Safavid period, due to the fact that the court paid more attention to the art of painting and the establishment of the painting in School of Tabriz II, artists painted magnificent paintings and illuminations. In the Safavid period (16th century AD), Sharafeh were drawn relatively large, single-color, medium-distanced and elaborately painted porches. In the 17th century, the Sharafeh were usually monochromatic, short and with a short and simple distance. In the meantime, it seems that Iranian artists had a great impact on Gurkanids and Indian artists gradually combined their artistic taste with Iranian artistic teachings and after a few decades achieved a more independent style of Iranian illuminations. Therefore, it can be said that the performance of sharafeh in Indian Qurans was inspired by the sharafeh of the Safavid era (16th century AD) and in the 17th century AD, unlike the Sharafeh in Iranian Qurans, it was very prolific, dense, and long. And it was more diverse and, in some versions, it was also drawn in color. The illuminators of Timurid and Safavid schools tried to use Sharafeh in Quranic illumination with a certain balance and order. Gurkanid illuminators have also been greatly influenced by these elements in decorating the Qur'an; while they also applied their tastes. Sometimes the decorations of these balconies in the Gurkanid school - especially at the end of the 17th century - are seen in an extreme form, rich, crowded and with a high variety of colors.

This paper examines the main recent theories in the conceptualization of emotions, proposing an integrative theoretical and methodological framework of analysis, from a cultural-anthropological and cognitive historical semantics point of view. Emotions represent complex cognitive and cultural phenomena, linguistically encoded, diachronically and diatopically variable. Following the undertaken theoretical and methodological premises, we put forward a case study: the analysis of the historical dynamics of a core emotional concept, LOVE in Romanian, focusing on the conceptual-semantic mutations undergone within the process of transition from the Old Medieval period (the 16 – the 18 centuries) towards the Early Modern time (end of the 18 century – first part of the 19 century).

Gambletron's Technical Submission With equal parts chance and skill, a career experimenter orchestrates the perfect conditions for chaotic harmony Gambletron performing Ether Underground in 2016. Photo: Meg T. Noe. Gambletron's studio is a laboratory: overfull and messy in a way that feels just shy of a breakthrough. They have the exposed circuit boards of toys and small electronics spread out across a few wooden tables and shelves packed with dozens of radios, boom boxes and transistors. Jars and drawers full of small tools and by Yaniya Lee parts are next to rolled-up cords and an array of adhesive tape. Still, these objects and materials only hint at what it's like to be at a Gambletron performance. Most bands will play the same song in the same way wherever they perform, but the Montreal artist creates new sounds each time. Gambletron's mostly improvised performances often invite the audience to join in and are always designed to incorporate aspects of their settings-at an auditorium, in a field, at a metro station, under a bridge. These soundscapes of vocals and field recordings are layered with small synthesizers, circuit-bent electronics and manipulated radio frequencies.

در فلسفه تحلیلی و مباحث تفکر انتقادی  قاعده ای موسوم به حسن نیت یا نیک اندیشی وجود دارد که در تفسیر متون و سخن طرف مقابل مورد توجه قرار می گیرد و مطابق با آن می بایست سعی شود، سخن و نوشته مخاطب را در معقولانه ترین و بهترین صورت ممکن تفسیر و نقل کرد. شاید بتوان وجود این اصل در آثار یک متفکر را دلیل بر انصاف علمی وی دانست. یکی از لوازم این رویکرد می تواند حسن قبول ناظران نسبت به تحلیل های آن متفکر و رو آوری به شنیدن و خواندن بیانات وی باشد چنانکه در چنین رویکردی است که می توان امید داشت که در تبیین و نقد دیدگاه مخالف، از مغالطه معروف به پهلوان پنبه پرهیز شده است. مساله این مقاله، بررسی اصل، میزان و حدود و ثغور پایبندی حکیم سبزواری به قاعده حسن نیت و نقش آن در انجذاب طالبان و معلمان فلسفه در مواجهه با  آثار وی می باشد و برای این منظور، به طور موردی شرح منظومه ایشان مورد بررسی قرار گرفته است.  نتیجه این بررسی نشان داد که می توان نمونه های بسیاری سراغ گرفت که وی کوشیده است به انصاف علمی و نیک اندیشی در خصوص قول دیگران که مقتضای اصل مذکور است، پایبند باشد. به عنوان نمونه در مباحثی همچون نظریه شبح در مبحث وجود ذهنی یا قول به نظریه صیرورت و اتصاف در  مبحث جعل و... پس از نقل دیدگاه مخالفین و گذر از تفسیر مشهوری که از آنها صورت گرفته، بیان می کند که نامتعارف بودن این اقوال نباید مجوز شتابزدگی در نقد آنها شود و چه بسا ورای ظاهر قابل نقد آن، مقصود و تفسیر قوی تری بتوان از آنها ارائه نمود و در این راستا می کوشد معقولانه و منصفانه ترین تبیین ممکن از آنها را ارائه نماید.

Innovation and creativity seem to be mere buzzwords, but the quest for innovation and creativity by game companies is very real. This Ph.D. dissertation suggests adopting a new p erspective on these concepts by abandoning a managerial attitude and favoring a design approach. The design process of video games is understudied, and this research aims to create a model of video game design activity, using the already existing Permission to make digital or hard copies of part or all of this work for personal or classroom use is granted without fee provided that copies are not made or distributed for profit or commercial advantage and that copies bear this notice and the full citation on the first page.

This paper examines the effects of the textual (headline, body copy and typography) and visual (image) elements of print advertising on the emotional responses of an audience. Six web-based experiments were carried out to determine the causal relationships between elements of print advertisements and viewers’ emotional responses. Data were collected from 105 respondents and Crisp Set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (csQCA) was undertaken. Results indicate that viewers were emotionally affected by the textual and visual elements of the advertisements. Moreover, the emotional responses were multivalent, indicating that people experience emotional ambiguity while viewing ads.

Search for innovation, from a socioeconomic point of view, has been an interesting area of study for many fields – including Design. Traditionally focused on form and function, now the Design research field has targeted the experience (aesthetic, symbolic and emotional) as one of its main topics. This challenge becomes more complex when we try to understand the emotional values and meanings that can possibly coexist within a utilitarian type of product. Therefore, this article studied the sugar and its emotional values by using the laddering technique along with stimuli application during the interviews. We will conclude that there's potential to achieve innovation if we can establish attachment bonds and improve the contexts of user experience.

Typography is a critical tool in visual communication, in part because it can evoke human emotion by combining form with narrative text. Human feelings may serve as the basis for the design of compelling images of a wide range of circumstances in our surroundings. Emotion has a powerful voice, and it can be used in a soul-stirring way to convey
