Renewable Energy Production

Solar green roofs, namely rooftops functionalized with properly selected living vegetation and photovoltaic modules, achieve an ideal symbiotic relationship in which promotion of biodiversity and onsite renewable energy production are both enhanced whereas the roof provides a wide range of environmental, health, aesthetic and economic benefits. This study provides a unified outlook of this eminent sustainable technology at the dawn of its uptake across the world, especially in polluted urban areas.

Digitization Of Work

This article presents the results of a study conducted from Chiapas, Mexico, through an online survey, through Google forms, in the Spanish language. The sample was of n.300 and 20 states of the Mexican republic were reflected. It is study consisted of knowing the perceptions regarding the use of ICT, the stress and anxiety generated by the situation before COVID and the digitization of work, services, education, and entertainment. Among the main findings are: 1) stressanxiety is being generated (+80%) for the use of ICTs as the only way, in many cases, to continue working during confinement by COVID, or for access to various public services and entertainment; 2) there is an increase in time for ICT use from 44% to 80% of cases using technologies more than 3 hours a day.

Pragmatist Philosophy

AbstractA pragmatist philosophy of psychological science offers to the direct replication debate concrete recommendations and novel benefits that are not discussed in Zwaan et al. This philosophy guides our work as field experimentalists interested in behavioral measurement. Furthermore, all psychologists can relate to its ultimate aim set out by William James: to study mental processes that provide explanations for why people behave as they do in the world.

Abstract Culture shapes our basic sensory experience of the world. This is particularly striking in the study of religion and psychosis, where we and others have shown that cultural context determines both the structure and content of hallucination-like events. The cultural shaping of hallucinations may provide a rich case-study for linking cultural learning with emerging prediction-based models of perception.

Abstract Hoerl & McCormack argue that animals cannot represent past situations and subsume animals’ memory-like representations within a model of the world. I suggest calling these memory-like representations as what they are without beating around the bush. I refer to them as event memories and explain how they are different from episodic memory and how they can guide action in animal cognition.
