Context-dependent modulation of spatial attention: prioritizing behaviourally relevant stimuli by Noah Britt, Jackie Chau, Hong-jin Sun

“…Over time, we learn to allocate attention resources towards stimuli that are behaviourally relevant to ongoing action, leading to attention capture by meaningful peripheral stimuli. A common example includes, while driving, stimuli that imply a possibly hazardous scenario (e.g. a pedestrian about to cross the road) warrant attentional prioritization to ensure safe proceedings. …”

ANATOMY OF CAUSES AND EFFECTS OF THE FARMER-HERDER CONFLICT ON FOOD SECURITY IN BENUE STATE, 2015-2023 by ACHANYA JULIUS JOHN, VARZOA LUMA

“…Deriving from the study findings, the results generated indicated that the underlying cause of the farmer-herder conflict in Benue State is climate change with its attendant consequence of herders migrating from the north to the state in search of pasture and water points. However, trigger causes muted by respondents include but not limited to illegal invasion of farms and destruction of crops by cattle, cattle rustling and theft; passage of the Open Grazing Prohibition and Ranches Establishment Law 2017, among others. …”

Key accelerometry measures for understanding walking sway during dual-task exercises by Abdulaziz A. Alkathiry

“…A 3.5Hz low-pass filter and mean referencing were found effective in capturing these changes. Computation methods, such as root mean square (which quantifies the variability of COM acceleration) and normalized path length (which measures the distance traveled by the COM over time), showed sensitivity to detect changes in sway amplitude during dual-task conditions. …”
