▼ Autonomous vehicles seem to be closer than expected on their timeline. However, there is still a decade of driving manual as well as semi-autonomous vehicles before we can experience completely automated vehicles on the road. Hence, the number of deaths due to driving accidents will take a while to drop, and we require alternative ways to prevent them.
Driver distraction is one of the primary causes of accidents. Driver distraction has posed a significant problem since the first car appeared on our roadways. According to WHO findings, 1.25 million people lose their lives every year due to road traffic crashes. One of the major causes of traffic crashes is distracted driving. As a result, there is a profound need and necessity to continuously observe driver state and provide appropriately informed alerts to distracted drivers. As defined by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), there are several types of distractions including cognitive, visual and manual distractions, which may be distinguished from each other based upon the resources required to perform the task. Cognitive distraction refers to the "look but not see" situations when the drivers' eyes are focused on the forward roadway, but his/her mind is not. Typically, cognitive distractions can result from fatigue, conversation with a co-passenger, listening to the radio, or other similarly loading secondary tasks that do not necessarily take a driver's eyes off the roadway. This makes it one of the hardest distractions to detect as there are no visible clues whether the driver is distracted. In this thesis, we have identified features from different sources such as pupil size, heart rate, acceleration that are relevant to classify distracted and non-distracted drivers through collection and analysis of driving data collected from participants over multiple driving scenarios. The Machine Learning methods used dealt with classification including, but not limited to Random Forest, Decision Trees, and SVM. A reduced feature set including pupil area, pupil vertical and horizontal motion was found while maintaining an average accuracy of 90% across different road types. Also, the impact of road types on driver behaviour is identified.
Information about dominant features which affect the classification would aid early detection of distracted driving, and mitigation through the development of effective warning systems. The algorithm could be personalized to the specific driver depending on their reaction to driving situations. It would enable a safer and more comfortable driving experience.

▼ Distracted driving compromises safety. Distractions stem from intentional engagement in secondary tasks (voluntary) or an inability to supress non-driving related information (involuntary). This thesis aims to understand, through two driving simulator experiments, how involuntary and voluntary distraction affect drivers and individual differences in susceptibility to either type of distraction. Findings show involuntary and voluntary distraction degrade driving performance. Drivers appear more cognisant of voluntary distractions compared to involuntary distraction. They compensate for their accelerator release delays in response to lead vehicle braking by transitioning more quickly to the brake pedal under voluntary distraction, but not under involuntary distraction. Drivers self-reporting frequent distraction engagement in real-world driving glanced more frequently at the voluntary distraction task used in the experiments and drivers self-reporting greater everyday distractibility had longer glances toward involuntary distraction stimuli. Involuntary distraction engagement was not related to the manipulated environmental visual complexity nor inhibition ability measured through cognitive tasks.

Introdução
A distracção osteogénica (DO) é uma técnica que consiste num procedimento cirúrgico para a reconstrução de deformidades esqueléticas e alveolares. Envolve o deslocamento gradual e controlado de fracturas provocadas cirurgicamente, seguida de uma expansão simultânea de tecido mole e volume ósseo. Esta capacidade de reconstrução, combinada de deficiências ósseas e de tecido mole, confere a este procedimento um valor assinalável para uma multiplicidade de cirurgias reconstrutivas.
Objectivo:
O objectivo desta revisão bibliográfica é avaliar a técnica de distracção alveolar vertical, os tipos de distractores e a sua aplicabilidade clínica.
Material e Métodos:
Foi efectuada uma pesquisa de artigos científicos dedicados ao tema da distracção osteogénica alveolar vertical através dos motores de busca Pub-med, Scielo-br, Lilacs e Google académico, limitando a pesquisa aos publicados em inglês e/ou português, sem limitações temporais, do tipo de estudo como ensaios clínicos, meta-análise, revisão bibliográfica e relatos de casos clínicos. Desta pesquisa resultou um total de 50 artigos, tendo sido utilizados os que faziam referência à distracção para posterior colocação de implantes.
Resultados:
A revisão da literatura efectuada indica que a DO vertical apresenta-se como uma terapia promissora e constitui uma alternativa válida para reconstruções de deficiências alveolares moderadas e severas. Com opções que variam desde distractores extra-orais a intra-orais, esta técnica cirúrgica permite a colocação de implantes dentários e uma reabilitação protética final, num ambiente em que o novo osso e o tecido mole formado são capazes de suportar cargas funcionais em condições esteticamente favoráveis.
Introduction
The Osteogenic distraction (OD) is a technique that consists in a surgical procedure for reconstruction of skeletal and alveolar disorders. It involves the gradual and controlled displacement of fractures caused by surgery, followed by a simultaneous expansion of soft tissue and bone volume. This capability, combined reconstruction of bone defects and soft tissue, makes the process unique and with remarkable value for a variety of reconstructive surgeries.
Objective:
This review evaluates the technique of vertical alveolar distraction, types of distractors and his clinical applicability.
Methods:
A survey was conducted for scientific articles devoted to the theme of vertical alveolar osteogenic distraction through search engines Pub-med, br-Scielo, Lilacs and Google academic and, limiting the search to articles published in English and / or Portuguese, with no time limitations with types of studies like clinical trials, meta-analysis, literature review and case report, we obtained a result of 50 articles, which used those who made reference to the distraction to the subsequent implant placement.
Results:
The literature review carried out indicates that the vertical OD…

▼ Motor vehicle collisions are a leading cause of police officer on-duty deaths. Distracted driving is a major contributing factor in motor vehicle collisions among the general public. Within policing, fatigue associated with shift work is a well-established and pervasive problem that affects officer performance, safety, and health. Although drowsy driving among post-shift workers is a well-established risk factor, no data are available about officer injuries and deaths due to drowsy driving. To address this gap in the literature, we assessed the impact of
distraction, fatigue, and the interaction of
distraction and fatigue on officers’ driving using laboratory experiments with high fidelity simulation. In addition, we assessed the ability of a well-validated psychomotor vigilance test to assess post-shift drowsy driving risks. Experienced police patrol officers (n=80) from all four shifts of a medium-sized city's police department were tested using a within- and between-subjects design to assess the impact of
distraction and fatigue on individual officers, as well as the impact of different work shifts, on driving performance. Controlled laboratory experiments were conducted during which participants drove high-fidelity driving training simulators on two separate occasions: immediately following five consecutive 10:40-hour patrol shifts (fatigued condition) and again 72 hours after completing the last shift in a work cycle (rested condition).Generalized linear mixed effects model analyses of driving performance showed that officers’ distracted driving performance had significantly greater lane deviation (f=88.58, df=1, 308, p<0.001)—a leading indicator of collisions. This analytical framework found officers working night shifts had significantly greater lane deviation during post-shift, non-operational driving than those working day shifts (f=4.40, df=1, 150, p=0.038). The same method also showed that easy-to-measure psychomotor vigilance test (PVT) scores for reaction time predicted both lane deviation (f=31.48, df=1, 151, p<0.001) and collisions (f=14.10, df=1,151, p<0.001) during the simulated drives. We also found a significant impact of
distraction (f=14.90, df=1, 305, p<0.001), working the graves (midnight) shift (f=4.89, df=1, 305, p=0.028), and
distraction/shift interaction (f=4.81, df=1, 305, p=0.029) on the probability of a collision.This is the first experimental research to assess the impact of
distraction, fatigue, and shiftwork on police patrol driving and post-shift driving.

▼ La distraction ostéogénique est une technique chirurgicale visant à reconstruire les defects osseux ou à allonger les os du corps humain. Elle met à profit la capacité du tissu osseux à se régénérer sous une stimulation mécanique appropriée. L'objectif général de ce travail est l'optimisation des moyens permettant de mettre en œuvre ce procédé en chirurgie maxillo-faciale. Plus particulièrement, il est focalisé sur le Distracteur Ostéogénique Sur mesure (DEOS) de la société OBL et les protocoles associés. Pour cela, un modèle micromécanique de guérison osseuse a été développé afin de permettre de simuler numériquement les transformations mécano-biologiques se produisant au sein du régénérat de distraction. Après son implémentation dans une routine de calcul, cette approche a été appliquée à un modèle simplifié de la distraction. Elle a ainsi pu permettre de reproduire des phénomènes encore jamais décrits numériquement et d'établir des propositions pratiques pour l'amélioration des protocoles et des dispositifs de distraction. D'autre part, la force de transport osseux lors de l'utilisation du DEOS a été étudiée. Une méthode originale de mesure de cet effort a été développée en tenant compte des spécificités de l'expérimentation en biomécanique. Une campagne d'essais a alors été menée avec la participation de deux patients bénéficiant du DEOS pour constituer une base de résultats qui a ensuite été analysée. Enfin, l'ensemble des résultats obtenus a servi à l'optimisation des caractéristiques du DEOS selon les souhaits des cliniciens et des patients. Elle a abouti à des avancées notables sur les paramètres essentiels que sont sa masse, son encombrement et sa fonctionnalité
Distraction osteogenesis is a process used to restore bone defects or to lengthen bone segments of the human body. It takes advantage of bone tissue ability to regenerate itself under an appropriate mechanical stimulation. The goal of this work is the optimisation of the ways this technique is implemented in maxillofacial surgery. A special focus has been done on the DEOS device from OBL company and on the associated protocols. In order to simulate mechanobiological changes happening in the distraction regenerate a micromechanical bone healing model was developed. After it was implemented in a computational routine, this approach was applied to a simplified bone distraction model. It allowed the numerical investigations of phenomena never simulated before. It also permitted to propose practical improvements of distraction protocols and devices. Moreover, the bone distraction force when using the DEOS was studied. An original method for the measurement of this force was set up taking into account restrictions of biomechanical tests. An experimental campaign was led with two patients benefiting from the DEOS. A database was then created and analysed. Finally, all the results obtained were used to optimise the DEOS up to clinicians and patients wishes. This has come to noticeable improvements of essential parameters as mass, size and practicality of…

▼ Medication administration error contributes to deaths and injury in hospitals, especially in the area of anaesthesia. Labelling and packaging contribute to medication error. The current study examined the role of labelling and packaging in medication error and compared medically trained and medically naive participants.
Using eye-tracking equipment, Study 1A investigated the distribution of fixations across 32 pre-existing medication labels and packages. Both groups of participants fixated less on the dose and top of medications than on the name and ‘other’ features. Both medical experience and packaging type influenced on which label areas participants fixated. Medical participants fixated on dose more than control participants; there were no other differences between groups.
In Study 1B participants viewed a target medication, they were then asked whether it was present in an array. The target was present in 50% of arrays. Distractors varied in similarity to the target. Signal detection theory analysis of discriminability through d’ revealed that medical participants were significantly better than control participants at discriminating whether or not the target was in the array. Bias analyses through C revealed that there was no difference between the biases of the two groups. Both groups of participants adopted a liberal criterion which increased the occurrence of false alarms. Across all trials, participants were most likely to select a distractor that differed only in the dose of the medication.
Divided attention can increase medication error rates, therefore Study 1C utilised the same procedure as Study 1B and added a divided attention task. During the divided attention task participants saw a string of either five or seven letters and were later asked to recall one of the letters. Both groups of participants recalled fewer letters in the seven-letter compared to five-letter condition. There was no difference in the overall performance of the two groups on the divided attention task. Both groups showed a significant reduction in discriminability under the seven- compared to five-letter divided attention condition. Medical participants had significantly higher discriminability indices than control participants. Both groups of participants adopted a liberal criterion, however control participants were more biased than medical professionals. Control participants displayed an increase in bias in the seven-letter, compared to five-letter condition; the bias of medical participants was not influenced by the divided attention task. As in Study 1B, participants were most likely to select a distractor that differed only in the dose of the medication.

▼ Dual-task costs occur when attention is divided among two or more concurrent tasks. Most dual-task studies involve paradigms where participants complete two, concurrent cognitive tasks; in these studies, performance on one or both tasks are slower and/or less accurate. The goal of this study was to examine whether dual-task costs would exist when participants completed a cognitive task while walking and whether those costs would be greater when the cognitive task required a motor-based response or when the task was more difficult. Twenty-two college students completed four blocks of a visual search task while walking. The difficult and the manual blocks were associated with the greatest accuracy costs, but performance was slower in both the difficult and the verbal modality blocks. These findings indicate that dual-task costs do occur, even when one of the tasks is walking, and that costs are greatest when the concurrent task is especially difficult.

▼ New Zealand obesity rates have reached epidemic proportions. Excessive eating not only harms individual health, but also the NZ economy; health-related costs soar with rising obesity rates. The need to understand possible mechanisms driving excessive eating behaviour is now crucial. One cognitive mechanism thought to contribute to excessive eating is an attentional bias towards food stimuli. We propose this bias would be similar to the attentional bias that is consistently shown with emotional stimuli (e.g. erotic and mutilation images). In this thesis I examined attentional biases towards food stimuli and how they relate to both state (hunger) and trait (waist circumference) factors. In Experiment 1, I investigated the existence of a food-related attentional bias and whether this bias is stronger towards high calorie food images, compared to low-calorie and non-food images (household objects). Participants were asked to fast for 2 hours (to promote self-reported hunger) before completing a
distraction task. This task has repeatedly shown an attentional bias to high arousal emotional images (erotic and mutilation scenes). On each trial, participants had to determine whether a target letter was a ‘K’ or an ‘N’, while ignoring centrally-presented distractors (high calorie, low calorie and household object images). Compared to scrambled images, all image types were similarly distracting. We found no support for the existence of an attentional bias towards food stimuli; nor did we find a significant association between the bias and either state or trait factors. Experiment 2 sought to conceptually replicate Cunningham & Egeth (2018) who found significant support for the existence of a food-related attentional bias. Participants completed a similar task. However, distractor relevance was manipulated by incorporating both central and peripheral distractors, to increase ecological validity. Additionally, participants were asked to fast for longer (4 hours) to increase self-reported hunger. Despite a significant
distraction effect (participants were more distracted on distractor present vs. distractor absent trials) and distractor-location effect (participants were more distracted by central vs. peripheral distractors), participants did not exhibit an attentional bias towards food stimuli. Furthermore, no significant associations between the bias and either state or trait factors were found. Thus, food stimuli do not appear to rapidly capture attention the way that emotional stimuli do, at least not in this task. Future research is needed to clarify the role of cognitive mechanisms in excessive eating behaviour.

▼ Anxiety is marked by impaired inhibition of
distraction (Eysenck et al., 2007). It is unclear whether these impairments are reduced or exacerbated when loading working memory (WM) with non-affective information. Cardiac vagal control has been related to emotion regulation and may serve as a proxy for load-related inhibition under anxiety (Thayer and Lane, 2009). The present study examined whether: (1) the enhancing and impairing effects of load on inhibition exist together in a nonlinear function, (2) there is a similar association between inhibition and concurrent vagal control, (3) nonlinear relations depend on trait anxiety. During anxiogenic threat-of-noise, 116 subjects maintained a digit series of varying lengths (0, 2, 4, 6 digits) while completing a visual flanker task. The task was broken into four blocks, with a baseline period preceding each. ECG was acquired throughout to quantify vagal control as high-frequency heart rate variability (HRV). There were significant quadratic relations of WM load to flanker performance and to HRV, but no associations between HRV and performance. Trait anxiety did not moderate any relations among HRV, load, and inhibition. Results indicate that low load was associated with relatively better inhibition and increased HRV. Findings suggest that attentional performance under anxiety depends on the availability of WM resources, which might be reflected by vagal control. These results have implications for treating anxiety disorders, in which emotion regulation can be optimized for attentional focus.

▼ Attentional control is a fundamental cognitive quality that allows us to process relevant information while filtering out distractions. Given its importance to our healthy mental functioning, understanding its neural mechanism has been one of the central goals in neuroscience. In this dissertation, we have used multivariate pattern analysis on neuroimaging data and functional connectivity methods on EEG and neuroimaging data to investigate various aspects of attentional control.

▼ Highly and fully automated vehicles have gained much popularity in recent years based on the expectations to reduce human related accidents and fatalities. It may appear that we are close to the deployment of fully autonomous vehicles, which can minimize these accidents related to
distraction and human control, however there are several barriers that will delay their immediate implementation and widespread adoption. Current highly automated vehicles provide a broad range of assistive and safety features but has an indirect effect of enabling drivers to be disengaged from the primary driving task. Driver
distraction has resulted in numerous accidents, fatalities and costly property damage. The issues relating to driver
distraction will continue to be a serious concern for highly automated and lower level vehicles for many years into the future until we reach a point where fully autonomous vehicles are widespread on all roads. One type of
distraction that has always been of concern to roadway safety is driver drowsiness. Even with the advancements in alerting systems of today, these systems have been ineffective at keeping drowsy drivers temporarily alert. Although alerts and notifications have been prevalent for a few years, research regarding continuous engagement for drowsy drivers has been largely unexplored. A continuous engagement system has the potential to increase roadway safety since some roadways have nowhere to pull over, some areas are deemed unsafe to stop and in other circumstances drivers would attempt to complete the remainder of a short trip without continuous assistance.

▼ Driver
distraction is a widespread and growing issue. Previous studies have shown that passenger conversations can be less distracting than cell phone conversations because of an increase in shared situational awareness when the conversation partner can see the driver and driving scene. Recently, Gaspar and colleagues (in press) found that providing remote conversation partners views of the driver and driving scene via a videophone could mitigate driver
distraction relative to cell phone conversations. The goal of the present project was to extend these results by examining the efficacy of videophone conversations in reducing cell phone
distraction during freeway and intersection driving for younger and older drivers. Pairs of younger and older adult drivers completed highway and intersection driving assessments in each of four conditions: driving alone without
distraction, conversing with an in-car passenger, conversing with a remote cell phone partner and conversing with a remote partner via a videophone. Although all conversations disrupted driving performance relative to driving alone, the results suggest that passenger and videophone conditions reduced
distraction relative to the cell phone. Conversational analyses suggest that the benefit for passenger and videophone conversations was due to an increase in partner situational awareness, even when the partner could only see a subset of the critical information in the driving scene. Importantly, younger and older adults showed similar benefits from videophones over cell phones. These results provide evidence for the efficacy of videophone conversations in reducing, but not eliminating, cell phone
distraction across different driving tasks and for different groups of drivers.

Personal communication devices such as basic cell phones, enhanced cell phones (smartphones) and tablet computers provide users instant access to a wealth of electronic media such as the Internet, email, and instant texting. In hospitals the potential distraction of personal communication devices could be particularly hazardous. However, the extent of this issue is unknown. The purpose of this study was to (1) determine the frequency of personal communication device (basic cell phones, enhanced cell phones (smartphones) and tablet computers) use among hospital registered nurses, and (2) to identify the concerns and opinions among hospital registered nurses regarding personal communication device use on in-patient units. In March 2014 a previously validated 30-question survey was emailed to the 10,978 members of the Academy of Medical Surgical Nurses. There were 825 respondents who met the inclusion criteria. The use of a personal communication device while working was reported by 78.1% of respondents. Sending personal emails and text messages while working was acknowledged by 38.6% of respondents. Nurses reported shopping on the Internet (9.6%), checking/posting on social networking sites (14.3%) and playing online games (6.5%) while working. Safety concerns were expressed by 87.2% who believe that personal communication devices on a nursing unit are a serious distraction and 69.5% who believe that personal communication devices in hospitals have a negative on patient care. Registered nurses reported that distraction by their personal communication device had negatively affected their performance as a nurse (7.4%), that they had witnessed another registered nurse negatively affected (70.9%); that they had missed important clinical information (4%), that they had witnessed another registered nurse miss important clinical information (29.9%), that they had made a medical error (0.8%) and had witnessed another registered nurse make a medical error (13.1%) as a result of their use of a personal communication device. This study suggests that the majority of registered nurses believe that personal communication device use on hospital units raise significant safety issues. There is a need for further study of this issue and to establish a consensus on the appropriate use of personal communication device while working in hospitals.

▼ Objective: To experimentally test a mindfulness coping strategy to reduce craving and urge distress when experiencing cue-elicited cravings for alcohol. Method: After being exposed to neutral cues and alcohol cues, eighty-four heavy drinkers
were asked to observe and accept their cravings, to try to distract themselves from their cravings, or to use whatever strategy they liked during a series of exposures to alcohol cues with subsequent extinction intervals in a simulated bar environment.
Results: Mixed ANOVAs of craving and urge distress revealed that groups endorsed differential reactivity and extinction to alcohol cues as a function of their coping strategies. The group instructed to distract themselves reported the largest decreases
in craving and urge distress. Conclusions: In this sample, occupying one’s mind with another activity was more effective at reducing craving and distress from craving acutely than a mindfulness “urge surfing” approach. In the short term, engaging in a
pleasurable distracting activity may be more helpful at reducing craving for alcohol.

▼ In the first chapter, I examine the relationship
between institutional investors’
distraction and innovation.
Institutional investor
distraction means that these institutional
investors get distracted when they perceive either positive or
negative information from other stocks in their portfolio. Prior
studies suggest institutional holdings provide stable funding for
firm managers and thus allow them to pursue long term innovation
(stability hypothesis). However, the level of institutional
holdings is also a proxy for the level of attention given by these
institutions (attention hypothesis). I address this debate by
utilizing the investor
distraction measure of Kempf, Manconi, and
Spalt (2017) and find that institutional investors’
distraction
reduces firm patent filings, citations, and quality, supporting the
attention hypothesis. The effect is concentrated in firms owned by
institutions providing beneficial monitoring but limited attention:
passive institutions, independent institutions, and institutions
with a low ownership concentration in the firm. The test shows that
investor
distraction impacts innovation via the monitoring channel
or the information channel. In my second essay, I investigate the
relationship between a firm's external financing needs and the
extent of technology spillovers that the firm experiences. Reliance
on external funds is captured by the firm's level of external
financial dependence (EFD) firm. My empirical results indicate that
firms with higher technology spillover have lower external
financial dependence.

▼ Driver distraction is a serious and growing hazard to road safety. With the rapid introduction of the new information, communication, and entertainment technologies, this problem is becoming more threatening in the coming years. For instance, drivers who use mobile phones while driving are more likely to be involved in the car crash than those who do not.
However, using technologies such as mobile phones and navigation systems in a vehicle can have different personal, social, practical, and psychological advantages which outweigh the risk. Therefore, there are number of metrics and methods for evaluating in-vehicle technologies, their services, applications, and functionalities to improve and make them safer.
The purpose of this thesis was to investigate and develop a new framework which consists of a safety evaluation library and server for evaluating in-vehicle applications with safety consideration. By the use of the framework, Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and third-party developers can get safety feedback from their in-vehicle applications in the real driving situation. For the safety analysis, different metrics were investigated. Due to the time restriction and based on the possible information that could be collected from an application and a vehicle, four metrics were used in the safety analysis including, total task time, number of interactions, speed, and completed task rate.
In addition, the framework was deployed and tested by two case-study applications and some interesting results were discovered. Moreover, it was found out using the safety library by third-party developers is quite easy, which is one of the most important factors in the usability area.

▼ Limb lengthening procedures use fixation devices to extend the constantly regenerating bone and surrounding soft tissues. Automated devices have been developed that aim to provide a more gradual tissue extension, resulting in better quality of treatment for the patient. Benefits include pain reduction and probable enhanced tissue outcomes. The development of one such new smart lengthening device is described. An integrated numerical model of tissue mechanics during lengthening is presented. It represents the mechanical environment in which the devices extend. The mechanism of the automated device is also modelled using Matlab software and validation was achieved through experimental testing. Validation of the tissue model includes the design of an experimental hydraulic system with the ability to control the peak loads and relaxation over time. A simplified mechanobiological model for the longer term healing effects is proposed. Calibration of the tissue model to clinical data allows for direct comparison of the load and extension of identical tissues, one being lengthened by a traditional device, the other an automated device. This simulation can be extended to include a range of lengthening rates and frequencies of distraction alongside various patient dependent tissue properties. The models also provide the opportunity to assess the effects of iterative changes to the device parameters (such as stiffness) on its performance as well as analyse the effect that these changes have on tissue extension and loading. Use of these models to optimise the device design alongside optimisation of the extension regime can result in improved device design and consequently improved patient outcomes.

▼ This research aims to compare how adults use handheld and widescreen digital devices to distract children during painful medical procedures. Levels of pain and distress are compared to assess the effectiveness of each device medium. The behaviors of the adults using these devices were also examined in order to determine the quality of the
distraction provided. Additionally, the observed behaviors of the adults are documented and analyzed to determine if the rates of specific action types are predictors of pain, distress, and quality of
distraction provided. The results of this work show that children reported less pain when distracted by handheld devices compared to widescreens. Although children reported less pain with handheld devices they received lower quality
distraction compared to when widescreen devices were used. Two types of actions were positively associated with higher quality
distraction: those that demonstrated the adults’ interest in the devices and those that provided support to children interacting with the devices. Adults using widescreen devices performed these two types of actions more frequently than those using handheld devices. These findings indicate that when adults use handheld devices they tend to reduce pain and distress compared to widescreens. However, widescreen devices are more likely encourage actions that are linked to higher quality
distraction. This interdependency of devices and coaching ability led to an interpretation of findings that presents a new theory called mediPLAYtion. MediPLAYtion recommends specific actions that promote cooperative engagement using digital devices for reducing pain during medical procedures.

▼ Today, in a world of automation, the impact of
Artificial Intelligence can be seen in every aspect of our lives.
Starting from smart homes to self-driving cars everything is run
using intelligent, adaptive technologies. In this thesis, an
attempt is made to analyze the correlation between driving quality
and its impact on the use of car infotainment system and vice versa
and hence the driver distraction. Various internal and external
driving factors have been identified to understand the dependency
and seriousness of driver distraction caused due to the car
infotainment system. We have seen a number UI/UX changes, speech
recognition advancements in cars to reduce distraction. But
reducing the number of casualties on road is still a persisting
problem in hand as the cognitive load on the driver is considered
to be one of the primary reasons for distractions leading to
casualties. In this research, a pathway has been provided to move
towards building an artificially intelligent, adaptive and
interactive infotainment which is trained to behave differently by
analyzing the driving quality without the intervention of the
driver. The aim is to not only shift focus of the driver from
screen to street view, but to also change the inherent behavior of
the infotainment system based on the driving statistics at that
point in time without the need for driver
intervention.

▼ This project has explored the relationship between the moving image and temporal experience. Acknowledging the constructed temporality of narrative cinema, in conjunction with what Peter Osborne has described as distracted perception, I have examined the potential for the moving image to direct attention to the here-and-now. What began as an attempt to provide an antidote to the condition of distraction through contemplative immersion evolved as a reflection on the temporal dialectic of contemporary experience.
The project’s concern with temporal experience is based on my response to working with narrative forms of the moving image in a commercial context. Drawing on anti-illusionist strategies of the film-artists of the 1960s as well as representational aspects of commercial production has resulted in work that embodies the inherent tension between these conditions of spectatorship, simultaneously heightening and dissolving temporal perception.
The visual context for the project is defined by the work of contemporary artists who also deal with the potential for the moving image to both absorb and distance viewers. This has been explored through a selection of specific works by Andy Warhol, David Hockney, Chantal Akerman, Christian Marclay, Douglas Gordon, Tacita Dean, Daniel Crooks and David Claerbout. These works challenge viewing habits and expectation through strategies of duration, re-contextualisation and re-examining the configuration of normative cinema.
In developing a theoretical understanding of the relationship between temporal experience and conditions of spectatorship, the project has been informed by Walter Benjamin, Tom Gunning and Sean Cubitt, writing on the relationship between narrative and non-narrative forms of cinema. These concepts have been further developed through Michael Fried’s theory of absorption and theatricality and Peter Osborne’s writing on attention and distraction. A philosophical understanding of temporal experience has been explored through the existentialist thought of Jean-Paul Sartre and Albert Camus.
The work developed as a combination of gallery-based and site-specific artworks that include single channel projections, multichannel installation, panoramic photography, live-feed cinema/installation and augmented reality. This broad, experimental approach is the result of exploring the moving image beyond the confines of linear cinematic structures. These diverse outcomes have been refined in the context of the Plimsoll Gallery for the submission exhibition.
By developing strategies that examine the relationship between time and the moving image the project has concluded that to offer a contemporary experience of the here-and-now, the work must fluctuate between states of immersion and awareness; between attention and distraction. Here, the inherent tension activated by the intersection of these temporal states directs audience attention toward the potential of a moment.

▼ A new knee brace design is required to provide non-surgical
distraction of the knee joint for extended periods of time. This knee brace needs to apply traction force to the joint directly, rather than indirectly unloading one compartment. In providing such a design, this research had two objectives: 1) to design a lower-leg knee brace that can apply traction load to the knee; and 2) to test prototypes of these lower-leg knee brace components and relate the traction load to wearer discomfort and interface force.
The first objective was met through prospective analysis and iterative design. A planar finite element (FE) model of the lower leg was used to analyse the effect of knee brace coverage. It was observed that increasing the coverage of the knee brace may reduce interface pressures and concentrations of force. A lower-leg knee brace was designed responding to this model, using fibreglass casts with embedded fasteners to transfer load. Braces were manufactured in three lengths for testing: 3”, 7”, and a combined (“mixed”) design with components from each.
Nine participants were recruited for pilot testing of the lower leg knee brace. A mechanical test frame was built to apply traction load to the participants’ legs through each of the prototype knee braces. The load in the test frame was increased in 3kgf increments as interface force measurements were taken. Participants self-reported their discomfort on an 11-point Likert scale or Numerical Rating Scale (NRS).
Results of the pilot study showed significant differences among the brace designs. The 3” design showed higher NRS scores than the 7” and mixed designs by a full NRS step. Graphical profiles of the interface force suggested that this difference may be the result of higher interface forces distributed across the smaller area of the 3” brace. However, no significant correlation between maximum interface force and self-reported pain was found. Parameters characterizing the shape of the participant’s lower legs indicated that leg shape may influence brace effectiveness.
This study concluded that a rigid knee brace is indeed a valid design, but a longer knee brace interface is required for the anterior surface of the leg to improve comfort. This length may not be required for the posterior surface. Further, this study demonstrated simple relationships among applied load, interface force, and wearer discomfort. Future work will adapt this design to the upper leg and optimize the design to minimize force concentrations at the joints.

▼ Hand held device users encounter various forms of
distraction in their daily lives. Distractions may prevent them from correctly using the hand held device. Usability evaluations are meant to identify issues prior to end-users experiencing them. However the laboratory environment, which usability evaluations are conducted, may not reflect the real-world conditions that devices are used. The experiment involved each participant performing tasks in both a quiet and a noisy environment. The noisy environment emulated part of a real-world experience by adding social noise in the background during the participant's tasks. The goal was to compare how much insight each participant was able to achieve from the data in each of the environments. It was found that task performance accuracy was higher in a quiet environment as opposed to the noisy environment. The mental demands and frustration of participants were found to be higher during the noisy environment evaluation.

▼ Research has conclusively shown that cell phones have a detrimental effect on driving performance. In an attempt to understand why, a handful of researchers have investigated the differences between cell phone and passenger conversations, with several of these studies revealing that the
distraction caused by concurrent cell phone conversations noticeably outweighs that imposed by passenger conversations. One study suggested that the availability of visual cues during a passenger conversation may be an important factor contributing to this reduced level of
distraction. The focus of this research project was to test whether providing drivers and remote conversers with access to visual cues via a videophone would result in improved driving performance when compared to a concurrent cell phone conversation. An initial experiment, in which 24 drivers encountered five hazards on a simulated road while conversing with a passenger, cell phone caller, videophone caller, or driving without conversation, resulted in driving behaviour that did not appear to be an accurate representation of real-world driving behaviour, which resulted in the early termination of this experiment. A second revised experiment, in which novice and practiced drivers drove a shortened version of the simulated road once under each of the aforementioned conversation conditions, produced more normal behaviour but failed to reveal any significant differences in driving or conversation performance as a result of concurrent videophone conversation compared to cell phone conversation. However, the results did reveal a number of other findings that may aid in understanding the distracting effects of cell phones, one of which was that remote conversations may result in an overestimation or underestimation of the correct driving response depending on the nature of the driving situation.

▼ Two experiments were carried out in order to see if higher rates of responding during training result in higher stability of accuracy in the face of
distraction. In the first experiment hens were exposed to a repeated acquisition procedure where they were taught to peck a number of 3 key combination response sequences (chains). In the first condition hens had the opportunity respond at any rate, in the second condition delays between each correct response were used to reduce response rate. Each session was made up of two periods. During the first period (training), hens learnt to complete chains. The second period was a test period where a stroboscope was used to distract behaviour. Accuracy during each condition and period was measured. The number of trials and rate of reinforcement were held constant. This procedure was repeated in a second experiment in order to test if habituation to the stroboscope was occurring. During both experiments the stroboscope was found to distract behaviour during the test period. During training, accuracy was higher for the no-delay condition than the delay condition. There were no large differences in accuracy between the no-delays condition and the delays condition during the test period, this was the same for both experiments. The second experiment showed that repeated presentation of the stroboscope resulted in higher accuracy meaning that habituation had occurred. The findings showed that when rate of reinforcement and number of practices were controlled, rate of responding alone during training did not change the stability of accuracy during
distraction which was unexpected.

▼ This thesis is an investigation of how positive and negative emotions affect driving speed, steering, and hazard response times while controlling arousal. Previous driving literatures have shown emotions to influence attention either by preparing drivers for action or impairing performance. Moreover, the environment exposes the driver to many factors that can change their emotional state. Given that previous experiments commonly confounded valence with arousal, further experiments are needed to determine the different effects of valence and arousal have on attention. Contrary to expectations, results revealed no significant effect of emotional valence on speed and steering. Furthermore, an unexpected interaction between valence and hazard position emerged in reducing brake response time. These findings suggest arousal to have a more important role in attention than previously thought in literature. Moreover, valence and arousal may have different roles in influencing different driving attentional mechanisms.

▼ This project began with an interest in the productivity of the individual. How does the definition of productivity change when altering the perspective from a team to the individual? The context of this project is very intentionally limited to the individual workplace of an employee. The opportunities of an understanding of individual working techniques and personal strategies that employees develop to cope with mood changes throughout their working day can offer great insights and possibilities to guide and help the individual in accomplishing their personal work goals. The shift of perspective from designing for an entire working environment to the focus of individual productivity is one of the goals in this graduation project.

▼ Attention is biased toward emotional stimuli, which are often important for our biologically-determined goals of survival and reproduction. But to succeed in our daily tasks we must sometimes ignore emotional stimuli that are not relevant to current goals. In four experiments, I examine the extent to which we can ignore emotional stimuli if we are motivated to do so. I draw on the Dual Mechanisms of Control (DMC) framework which proposes that we use two modes of control to deal with
distraction: reactive control, which shifts attention back to a task after
distraction has occurred; and proactive control, which allows us to anticipate and control
distraction before it occurs. In non-emotional contexts, task motivation encourages use of more effective, but more effortful, proactive control to ignore emotionally-neutral distractions. But, little is known about how we can control our attention to ignore highly distracting emotional stimuli. In all experiments, participants completed a simple visual task while attempting to ignore task-irrelevant negative (mutilation scenes), positive (erotic scenes), and neutral images (scenes of people).
Distraction was indexed by slowing on distractor trials relative to a scrambled distractor, or no distractor, baseline. To manipulate motivation, half the participants completed the task with no performance-contingent reward; the other half completed the task with the opportunity to earn points and/or money for fast and accurate performance. In Experiment 1 the images were presented centrally, so attention must be shifted from the distractor location to complete the task. Reward reduced
distraction by both positive and negative emotional images. Experiment 2 replicated Experiment 1, and measured pupil dilation to index the timecourse of cognitive effort. The aim of Experiment 2 was to determine whether motivation elicits a shift to proactive control to reduce emotional
distraction, as it does in non-emotional contexts. Again, reward reduced positive and negative
distraction. Pupil findings indicated that reward dynamically enhanced proactive control prior to stimulus-onset, facilitating rapid disengagement from distractors, regardless of their expected emotional value. In contrast, a sustained proactive strategy was used across blocks in which emotional distractors were expected, relative to blocks in which neutral distractors were expected. In the final two experiments, the distractors were presented peripherally and so must capture attention away from the central targets to impair performance. In Experiment 3, and in Experiment 4 – in which the points did not represent money – reward reduced attentional capture by positive and negative emotional distractors. Together, findings show that motivation can enhance control of positive and negative distractions that appear both centrally, and peripherally. Findings extend the DMC framework to an emotional context; motivation elicits a shift to proactive control, even when distractors are high arousal emotional stimuli. Further, in three out…

▼ To examine behavioural and electrophysiological effects associated with the intentional suppression of spatial locations, a task was employed which cued to-be-ignored locations prior to stimulus presentation. Over three experiments, participants were faster to respond to targets when such stimuli were presented alongside salient distractors at cued locations compared to uncued locations. This distractor cueing benefit, however, was time dependent as it was only observed when sufficient time was provided between cue and target displays. Possibly underlying the distractor cueing benefit, hemispheric differences in alpha-band activity gradually emerged between cue and target displays in accordance with the position of cued locations. While it was expected that electrophysiological markers associated with reactive suppression would also be influenced by distractor cueing, this was not the case; only a late stage of effortful processing was affected. Further, findings were present to suggest that both endogenous and exogenous processes contributed to the distractor cueing benefit.

▼ Cognitive distractions related to sexual arousal in males have been studied over the years, but not only until recently has the female sex been involved in studies revolving around the topic of sexuality. There is research related to men that state two main cognitive distractions: body image and sexual performance. Barlow (1985) conducted a study which showed that cognitive distractions lowered sexual arousal in males. Unfortunately, his study was not conducted on females. The purpose of this study is to understand how cognitive distractions can affect female sexual arousal. I propose that by looking into how these cognitive distractions affect sexual arousal in women, it could help to expand the knowledge and mental health services for women. This literature review will examine current literature to investigate female cognitive distractions in order to answer the question: If a woman has negative cognitive distractions, will it affect sexual arousal?

▼ Previous studies have shown positive results on the use of music as postoperative pain relief. Quantitative studies have examined the effect of music on rated pain and otherparameters such as anxiety, relaxation and blood-pressure. The purpose of this study was to investigate the expectations and experiences of patients and nurses onimplementing music as postoperative pain relief in an orthopedic unit
Qualitative design and semi-structured interviews were used to examine expectations and experiences. Five patients and five nurses in the unit were interviewed.
Four themes developed during the data-analysis. These themes were “Expectations on music as postoperative pain relief”, “Experiences of music as postoperative pain relief”,“Effects of music as postoperative pain relief” and “Continued implementation of musicas postoperative pain relief”. A general theme was distraction. Both patients and nurses described the distracting ability of music. Music distracted the patients from both painand the unfamiliar environment and provided relaxation.
According to the results of this study there is a connection between the distracting effect of the music and pain relief. More research needs to be done to examine how musicaffects the human body and mind.
