Most eyewitness identification protocols recommend withholding feedback after an identification has been made, at least until a measure of confidence can be gathered. Although much research has examined the impact of post-identification feedback on subsequent witness behavior and confidence, research addressing the importance of post-recall feedback remains largely incomplete. The current study examined the effects of post-recall feedback and question type on subsequent witness recall, confidence, and reports of view of the crime. In line with previous eyewitness identification research, it was predicted that participants receiving confirming post-recall feedback would be more confident in their prior recall compared to participants receiving neutral, no, or disconfirming feedback. One hundred and fifty-eight participants viewed a mock crime video of a robbery followed by an interview which included both open-ended and cued questions. Participants were then given either confirming, neutral, no, or disconfirming feedback and asked about their confidence and the clarity of their view of the perpetrator. Under the pretense that the recording equipment failed, participants were interviewed again using the same question format. The second interview was followed by a series of suggestive questions. After the second interview, participants were again asked about their confidence and self-reported quality of view of the perpetrator. Participant interviews were transcribed and scored for quantity, accuracy, and consistency by two blind, independent coders. Analyses revealed that feedback had a systematic impact on confidence such that participants who received confirming feedback were more confident in the overall accuracy of their prior memory accounts than those who received neutral, no, or disconfirming feedback and participants who received neutral or no feedback were more confident in the overall accuracy of their prior memory accounts compared to those in the disconfirming feedback condition. In line with previous eyewitness identification research, there was no significant relationship between recall accuracy and reported confidence. Results from the current study can be used to inform real-world investigative interviewers by highlighting the consequences of offering post-recall feedback. Specifically, feedback can impact witness confidence irrespective of actual recall accuracy.

Dieser Beitrag möchte mit der Weiterentwicklung von Assessment Literacy für zukunftsfähige Lern- und Prüfungsumgebungen an Hochschulen (Advanced Learning and Examination Spaces) einen Beitrag zur Qualitätssicherung von Studium und Lehre leisten. Dazu wird die Entwicklung von Assessment Literacy bei Hochschullehrenden auf zwei Stufen dargelegt: Zunächst werden exemplarische Problemfelder aus verschiedenen Prüfungsformaten beschrieben und Lösungsvorschläge angeboten, um Ansatzpunkte für die Reflexion der eigenen Prüfungspraxis zu liefern (Kap. 2.1). Auf einer zweiten Stufe werden Assessments als Teil von kompetenzorientierten Lern- und Prüfungsumgebungen gesehen. Dazu wird das Konstrukt Kompetenz, dessen Bedeutung im Hochschulkontext sowie das Constructive Alignment als hochschuldidaktisches Planungsmodell für eine kompetenzorientierte Hochschullehre und als Steuerungsinstrument für die Qualitätssicherung von Prüfungen skizziert. Vor diesem Hintergrund werden Ansatzpunkte für das Konzept einer Assessment Literacy in Higher Education abgeleitet, die Funktionsweisen, Rahmenbedingungen und Formate des Prüfens in einen systematischen Zusammenhang bringen sollen (Abb. 1). Diese Wissenssammlung beansprucht nicht dem Leser Unbekanntes zu entdecken. Vielmehr soll Vorhandenes gesammelt, gesichtet, geordnet und bewertet werden und so als Ausgangsbasis für künftige Forschungen im Bereich des Lehrens und Lernens an Hochschulen dienen.

This paper describes the format of monitoring data files that are collected for external measuring sites and at laboratory experiments at the Institute for Building Climatology (IBK). The Monitoring Data Files are containers for storing time series or event driven data collected as input for transient heat and moisture transport simulations. Further applications are the documentation of real world behaviour, laboratory experiments or the collection of validation data sets for simulation results ( whole building / energy consumption / HAM ). The article also discusses the application interface towards measurement data verification tools as well as data storage solutions that can be used to archive measurement data files conveniently and efficiently.:1 Introduction 2 File Name Conventions 3 Headers 3.1 Specifics on Time Series Header Files 3.2 Specifics s on Event Driven Header Files 4 Data Section Format Description 5 SI Unit Strings 6 Competition Law Advice 7 Liability for external Links

Wie kann man die internationale Anlagen - und Maschinenindustrie zum „Besseren Entwerfen von Mensch-Maschine-Benutzeroberflächen“ verführen. Das war die Ausgangssituation und Aufgabenstellung. [...] Mit der Erkenntnis, dass nutzerorientiertes HMI-Design ein wesentlicher Erfolgsfaktor ist, stellte sich das Unternehmen Siemens die Frage, wie es nachhaltig und schrittweise die weltweiten Kunden zum „besseren Design“ anleiten und die tägliche Arbeit der Anwender in den Maschinen-Produktionshallen der Welt spürbar verbessern könnte. In Zusammenarbeit mit chilli mind entstand mit der HMI-Design Masterclass eine erfolgversprechende Antwort: Man braucht ein zeiteffizientes und unterhaltsames Lernformat, verbunden mit praktischen und pragmatischen Lerninhalten, um die Zielgruppe der weltweiten Maschinenbauer für eine „bessere HMI-Gestaltung“ zu gewinnen und zur Teilnahme zu bewegen. (Kranert et al. 2018) Dieser Beitrag beantwortet u.a. folgende drei Fragen: 1. Welche Charakteristika von Content Marketing, Microlearning und Storytelling greifen ineinander, um zum Lernerfolg der Zielgruppe zu führen? 2. Wie sieht das Konzept der HMI-Design Masterclass konkret aus? 3. Welche messbaren Erfolge konnten mit der HMI-Design Masterclass erzielt werden? [... aus der Einleitung]

This thesis presents a first real world case-study of road transport operations that use the COVER format, in which the driver and the vehicle are regarded as separate entities. This format enables a complex representation of the transport operation that potentially better describe reality compared to the conventional representation used in today’s certification tools. The representation of operations treated in this thesis is called Operating Cycles and has been used to fully describe three representative transport missions from a case-study truck. Stochastically generated operating cycles have been used to create a large data set and thus prevent overfitting of specific cycles. The Operating Cycle-representation allowed for fair comparison between vehicle designs and ultimately manifested a vehicle composition that reduced the fuel consumption by nearly 10% for the same kind of transport operations.

The grocery trade is part of the food industry, which is Sweden's third largest industry. It is obvious that it is an industry with a high market concentration where the market share of the three largest companies corresponds to almost 87%. In addition to the high concentration in the market, the industry is undergoing a structural change in new store formats that are more adapted to the customer's needs, among other things through geographical location, opening hours, service, price and design. Each individual has their own preferences when it comes to where to shop. At present, the supply of grocery stores is large and there is a tough level of competition throughout the country. It is therefore important for the various chains in the grocery trade to create and maintain a loyal customer base in order to remain relevant but also to survive the tough competition. The purpose of the study is to create an understanding of which marketing techniques the various chains in the Swedish grocery trade use to create and maintain a loyal customer base. To be ableto investigate this, a qualitative study was conducted consisting of four interviews with three different chains. The respondents who have participated have either had a central and high-ranking role within the chain or in the stores. This is because it is important for the study that the respondents have insight into how the organization works. The chains that have participated are: ICA, Hemköp and Coop. Based on the theoretical framework and the empirical evidence that has been collected, ananalysis has been carried out in order to be able to draw a conclusion. The conclusion that is drawn is that there are many and important factors that come into play to maintain and create aloyal customer base. But the marketing technique that stands out and that is of utmost importanceis loyalty programs followed by customer relationship management, relationship management and corporate store image.

Modern build systems that build large software projects often utilize a distributed compiler, allowing the compilation of object files to be parallelized over multiple machines. These build systems are often not able to fully utilize all the resources available on all machines. As linking is not part of this distributed process, the unused resources could be used to perform linking instead, reducing the total build time. However, linking is often performed at the end of the build process, thus not being able to access the previously unused resources. In this thesis project, a linker that runs concurrently with the compilation process of the build system is designed, implemented, and evaluated . As the compilation process produces an object file, the linker performs a partial link using this file. The link is finalized at the end of the build, not unlike a traditional linker. The results show that the total build time is reduced when using the new linker in a build system utilizing a distributed compiler. In some cases, the time spent linking at the end of the build system is reduced over 50 percent when compared to the reference linker.
