Abstract: We set out to assess the extent to which writing modality affects recollection in children and adolescents. We examined 10- to 11-year-old children’s (N = 63) and 16-year-old adolescents’ (N = 43) handwriting, keyboarding with a laptop computer and keyboarding with a touchscreen tablet computer or mobile phone in a within-subjects experimental design. Participants were instructed to write down stories dictated to them in the three writing modalities. Recollection of the stories was assessed using free recall of details in the stories. The results indicate that the writing modality affects recollection, handwriting leading to better recollection. However, currently, digital writing tools are inundating classrooms and workplaces around the globe, making their competent use a necessity in today’s world. For example, in Finland, students are obligated to use a laptop in upper secondary education and in the national final examination. In light of the results, we highlight the importance of balancing the instruction and practice of different writing modalities. Given the limitations of this study, we suggest conducting a larger-scale study and further research on the educational and cognitive implications of using and learning to write using multiple writing modalities.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a full-Stokes model to simulate the basal shear stress distribution of the Wordie-Fleming Glacier system in the southern Antarctic Peninsula.
Abstract: . The Wordie Ice Shelf–Fleming Glacier system in the southern Antarctic
Peninsula has experienced a long-term retreat and disintegration of its ice
shelf in the past 50 years. Increases in the glacier velocity and dynamic
thinning have been observed over the past two decades, especially after 2008
when only a small ice shelf remained at the Fleming Glacier front. It is
important to know whether the substantial further speed-up and greater
surface draw-down of the glacier since 2008 is a direct response to ocean
forcing, or driven by feedbacks within the grounded marine-based glacier
system, or both. Recent observational studies have suggested the
2008–2015 velocity change was due to the ungrounding of the Fleming Glacier
front. To explore the mechanisms underlying the recent changes, we use a
full-Stokes ice sheet model to simulate the basal shear stress distribution
of the Fleming system in 2008 and 2015. This study is part of the first high
resolution modelling campaign of this system. Comparison of inversions for
basal shear stresses for 2008 and 2015 suggests the migration of the
grounding line ∼9 km upstream by 2015 from the 2008 ice front/grounding
line positions, which virtually coincided with the 1996 grounding line
position. This migration is consistent with the change in floating area
deduced from the calculated height above buoyancy in 2015. The retrograde
submarine bed underneath the lowest part of the Fleming Glacier may have
promoted retreat of the grounding line. Grounding line retreat may also be
enhanced by a feedback mechanism upstream of the grounding line by which
increased basal lubrication due to increasing frictional heating enhances
sliding and thinning. Improved knowledge of bed topography near the grounding
line and further transient simulations with oceanic forcing are required to
accurately predict the future movement of the Fleming Glacier system
grounding line and better understand its ice dynamics and future contribution
to sea level.

26 Nov 2017TL;DR: Interaction with a finger worn ring is studied, focusing on interaction enabled by the ring form factor, with main concerns related to false positives, losing the ring e.g. when changing finger, and limitations from the rigid size of the form factor.
Abstract: In this note, we study interaction with a finger worn ring, focusing on interaction enabled by the ring form factor. We report on 2 user studies, the first (n=13) investigating preferences for different interactions, whilst the second (n=7) explores usage contexts and applications. Twelve different ways of interacting with a ring were evaluated, including e.g. changing the placement of the ring on the fingers and moving the ring along or around a finger. Based the study results, the practical usability and concerns with each of the ring interactions is discussed. Whereas the concept was generally well received, the main concerns related to false positives, losing the ring e.g. when changing finger, and limitations from the rigid size of the form factor.

TL;DR: This paper examined the shaping of post-feminist, neoliberal subjectivity through the different articulations of "gay" and "straight" subject positions, and suggested that practices such as consumption, choosing "freely" and bodily management constitute men and masculinity as well as women and femininity, even if the subject positions in the shows differ in ways that contribute to re-traditionalizing gender.
Abstract: This article continues the discussion of new articulations of gender and sexuality in late modern societies. It examines the shaping of postfeminist, neoliberal subjectivity through the different articulations of ‘gay’ and ‘straight’, femininity and masculinity. The interrelatedness of discursive, material and affective in the constitution of subject positions is of special interest. This article includes an analysis of two makeover series – How to Look Good Naked and Queer Eye for the Straight Guy – and suggests that practices such as consumption, choosing ‘freely’ and bodily management constitute men and masculinity as well as women and femininity, even if the subject positions in the shows differ in ways that contribute to re-traditionalizing gender. Despite their reflexive ways of realizing the transformations, the programmes involve ambivalent ways of making gender difference, such as re-gendering masculinity and femininity. Also, the gay experts in the shows ambivalently participate in maintaining gender dichotomy and heteronormativity.
