As information and communication technologies become more ubiquitous and pervasive, they increasingly shape the ways we communicate, collaborate and establish new relationships. However, important questions need to be explored: are computers making us happy? Are new ways of interacting with and using technology actually improving the quality of our life, by enhancing our opportunities for growth and self-expression, and making us feel safer and more connected? The recent and growing interest towards these issues is paving the way for a new research area: “Positive Technology”.
Paths of Wellbeing on Self-Organizing Maps + excerpts from other presentationsTimo Honkela
In this presentation in WSOM 2012 conference, we introduce the concept of pathways of wellbeing
and examine how such paths can be discovered from large data
sets using the self-organizing map. Data sets used in the illustrative experiments
include measurements of physical fitness and subjective assessments
related to diagnosing work stress. In addition, we show results from related projects.

The industrial sector was always skeptical about the potentials of cloud computing and its capabilities to overcome the challenges of the manufacturing industry. Now the manufacturing sector have largely accepted cloud solutions that is depicting a paradigm shift for manufacturers striving for smarter IT enterprise and business processes.

Why code robots, avatars and software agents with compassion? In one word: Neuroplasticity. Repeated exposure to objects, relations,emotions changes who we are. Recent Discoveries in Neuroscience, neuroendocrinology, Psychoneuroimmunology, etc. show biological benefits from compassion - witnessing it, giving it or receiving. Designing technologies without considering how they change us, without designing to display or encourage compassionate we are in some sense encouraging our psychopathic tendencies through our daily interactions. Slides contain some disturbing graphics.

How Do You want Scientists to be PerceivedJohn C. Besley
Slides for a April 1 plenary talk at the International Society for Biosafety Research talk in Tarragona, Spain, April 1, 2019. The talk focuses on the idea of strategic science communication in the context of genetic engineering. It emphasizes the importance of setting behavioral goals and then figuring out what types of communication objectives could ethically help you reach these goals over time. It further argued that public engagement activities should be understood as tactics meant to foster cognitive engagement and thus the formation of meaningful beliefs. The primary emphasis of the talk was on choosing communication tactics that have the potential to foster beliefs about scientists' warmth, openness, value similarity, honesty, and competence.

Diane F. Halpern Claremont McKenna College
Eric Turkheimer University of Virginia
We review new findings and new theoretical developments
in the field of intelligence. New findings include the follow-
ing: (a) Heritability of IQ varies significantly by social
class. (b) Almost no genetic polymorphisms have been
discovered that are consistently associated with variation
in IQ in the normal range. (c) Much has been learned
about the biological underpinnings of intelligence. (d)
“Crystallized” and “fluid” IQ are quite different aspects of
intelligence at both the behavioral and biological levels.
(e) The importance of the environment for IQ is established
by the 12-point to 18-point increase in IQ when children
are adopted from working-class to middle-class homes. (f)
Even when improvements in IQ produced by the most
effective early childhood interventions fail to persist, there
can be very marked effects on academic achievement and
life outcomes. (g) In most developed countries studied,
gains on IQ tests have continued, and they are beginning in
the developing world. (h) Sex differences in aspects of
intelligence are due partly to identifiable biological factors
and partly to socialization factors. (i) The IQ gap between
Blacks and Whites has been reduced by 0.33 SD in recent
years. We report theorizing concerning (a) the relationship
between working memory and intelligence, (b) the appar-
ent contradiction between strong heritability effects on IQ
and strong secular effects on IQ, (c) whether a general
intelligence factor could arise from initially largely inde-
pendent cognitive skills, (d) the relation between self-reg-
ulation and cognitive skills, and (e) the effects of stress on
intelligence.
Keywords: intelligence, fluid and crystallized intelligence,
environmental and genetic influences, heritability, race and
sex differences
In 1994, a controversial book about intelligence byRichard Herrnstein and Charles Murray called The BellCurve was published. The book argued that IQ tests are
an accurate measure of intelligence; that IQ is a strong
predictor of school and career achievement; that IQ is
highly heritable; that IQ is little influenced by environmen-
tal factors; that racial differences in IQ are likely due at
least in part, and perhaps in large part, to genetics; that
environmental effects of all kinds have only a modest effect
on IQ; and that educational and other interventions have
little impact on IQ and little effect on racial differences in
IQ. The authors were skeptical about the ability of public
policy initiatives to have much impact on IQ or IQ-related
outcomes.
The Bell Curve sold more than 300,000 copies and
was given enormous attention by the press, which was

Transforming Brand Perception and Boosting Profitabilityaaryangarg12
In today's digital era, the dynamics of brand perception, consumer behavior, and profitability have been profoundly reshaped by the synergy of branding, social media, and website design. This research paper investigates the transformative power of these elements in influencing how individuals perceive brands and products and how this transformation can be harnessed to drive sales and profitability for businesses.
Through an exploration of brand psychology and consumer behavior, this study sheds light on the intricate ways in which effective branding strategies, strategic social media engagement, and user-centric website design contribute to altering consumers' perceptions. We delve into the principles that underlie successful brand transformations, examining how visual identity, messaging, and storytelling can captivate and resonate with target audiences.
Methodologically, this research employs a comprehensive approach, combining qualitative and quantitative analyses. Real-world case studies illustrate the impact of branding, social media campaigns, and website redesigns on consumer perception, sales figures, and profitability. We assess the various metrics, including brand awareness, customer engagement, conversion rates, and revenue growth, to measure the effectiveness of these strategies.
The results underscore the pivotal role of cohesive branding, social media influence, and website usability in shaping positive brand perceptions, influencing consumer decisions, and ultimately bolstering sales and profitability. This paper provides actionable insights and strategic recommendations for businesses seeking to leverage branding, social media, and website design as potent tools to enhance their market position and financial success.
You could be a professional graphic designer and still make mistakes. There is always the possibility of human error. On the other hand if you’re not a designer, the chances of making some common graphic design mistakes are even higher. Because you don’t know what you don’t know. That’s where this blog comes in. To make your job easier and help you create better designs, we have put together a list of common graphic design mistakes that you need to avoid.
