Smart mobile devices (SMDs), especially smartphones and tablets, are becoming increasingly ubiquitous among educators and students in Palestine. While their use is on the rise, many academics are not effectively incorporating this technology into their teaching, which may be attributable to their negative perceptions of these devices. This study therefore examined academics’ perceptions of the ...

Understanding how best to accrue benefits from designing physical activity and exercise programmes is needed to tackle global health problems related to physical inactivity and poor mental health. Some studies have implicated an important role for green exercise and physical activity, but there is a lack of clarity in current research. Therefore, more work is needed to understand how to design ...

This article extends our understanding of inland waterways by theorising the temporary absences water in canals and rivers as possibilities for action, that is, affordances. The interplay absence presence provides a range potentialities various activities practices. Affordance theory can help us to further theorise material position them important elements performing, practicing interpreting pl...

conclusions it can be concluded that brain-behavioral systems may be the foundation of behavioral and emotional tendencies in patients with migraine headaches. results the results showed that positive affect had a significant positive correlation with active avoidance parameters and negative significant correlation with passive avoidance and extinction parameters. the findings also indicated th...

Affordances are action-possibilities, ways of relating to and acting on things in our world. They help us understand how these mean what they do we have bodily access world more generally. But happens when this is ruptured or impeded? I consider question the context psychopathology reports that describe experience. argue thinking about consequences losing everyday affordances can better reports...

Understanding human activities and object affordances are two very important skills, especially for personal robots which operate in human environments. In this work, we consider the problem of extracting a descriptive labeling of the sequence of sub-activities being performed by a human, and more importantly, of their interactions with the objects in the form of associated affordances. Given a...

In this paper, we address the issue of learning and representing object grasp affordances. Our first aim is to organize and memorize, independently of grasp information sources, the whole knowledge that an agent has about the grasping of an object, in order to facilitate reasoning on grasping solutions and their likelihood of success. By grasp affordance, we refer to the the different ways to p...

This conceptual paper argues that for sustainable product innovation to make a contribution addressing sustainability issues, we need understand not only why consumers adopt products but also what makes them use these in way. To explain how specific features can change the ways which engage with adoption and usage phase, draw on affordance theory. Affordances refer potential agentic action of u...

This paper explores the temporal and spatial characteristics of mobile phone communication, comparing the experience of presence in phone calls and in virtual reality environments. It is argued that in phone communication interactional affordances create an experience of presence and a degree of embodiment. The theoretical framework adopted combines Goffman’s frame analysis with Gibson’s afford...
