Decision-Making in Cultural Heritage Security Management under Armed Conflict: A Case Study of Karol Estreicher
This paper examines decision-making in cultural heritage security management through the case of Karol Estreicher Jr. (1906-1984), an art historian, university professor, and one of the leading figures involved in the protection and post-war restitution of Polish cultural heritage. The analysis focuses on his efforts to safeguard the Veit Stoss Altarpiece - one of the largest and most important late Gothic altarpieces in Europe - before, during, and after the Second World War. Using a retrospective case study approach, the analysis combines historical sources, a review of 177 press articles published between 1946 and 2021, contemporary legal regulations concerning the protection of cultural heritage during armed conflicts, and an interview with the current custodian of the Altarpiece. The findings show that many of the challenges resulted from the absence of formal protection plans, coordinated risk management, and institutional cooperation. The case also demonstrates how risks may be incorrectly identified and assessed under conditions of uncertainty. While the decision-makers primarily anticipated the threat of physical destruction resulting from bombing and military operations of the Nazi authorities, they underestimated the likelihood of cultural looting by the occupying forces. The study therefore highlights the importance of early planning, systematic risk assessment, scenario analysis, and stakeholder coordination in safeguarding cultural heritage before and during armed conflicts.Otwarty dostępMonografieMonograph Chapter (Conference proceedings) - 2026-07-16
Egocentric biases in moral judgments of character and behavior
Egocentrism plays a central role in moral cognition, as individuals interpret the social world from a default, self-centered perspective. This often leads people to view their moral evaluations as objective and justified, even when those judgments are influenced by self-interest or interpersonal preferences. In this chapter, I review research that identifies two key egocentric tendencies in moral judgment, which are evident in both children and adults. First, when interests are involved, individuals are more likely to evaluate unethical or unjust actions as morally acceptable. Second, people tend to perceive those they like as more moral than those they dislike, indicating that liking can bias moral evaluation. These patterns persist even when individuals attempt to reason impartially. Rather than being irrational errors, such tendencies may serve adaptive social functions by helping individuals maintain relationships, form alliances, and make strategic moral decisions. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for explaining everyday moral reasoning and behavior.Otwarty dostępMonografieMonograph Chapter - 2023-05-30
An irrelevant look of novice tram driver
The present study explores differences in attention distribution of tram drivers with different expertise while watching tram driving simulations. Forty-seven participants participated in this experiment in two groups (23 experts and 24 novices). The results show between-group differences in attention dynamics. In line with prediction, the novices concentrated more on the middle panel of the tram simulator related to speed control than the experts. The study is the first step in designing gaze-based training for novice tram drivers.Otwarty dostępMonografieMonograph Chapter (Conference proceedings) - 2026-05-01
Immersive VR Training for Tram Drivers. Evaluating Procedural Knowledge Acquisition and User Experience in a Controlled Study
The present study evaluates an immersive VR training module for safety-critical the Pre-Operation Check (OC) in tram driver training using VR180 expert video with instructor commentary. In a controlled study (n=35), trainees were assigned to VR or paper-based instruction and assessed across two instructional sessions. VRtrained participants achieved higher procedural knowledge and perceived readiness, with comparable stress reduction across groups and excellent usability and user experience ratings. Results indicate that immersive VR can effectively complement traditional instruction for procedural learning in public transport training.Otwarty dostępMonografieMonograph Chapter (Conference proceedings) - 2026-04-13
Does Peer Review Need to Change? A Panel on Reporting Standards and Checklists in the Age of AI
Duchowski, AndrewStefik, AndreasRalph, PaulDix, AlanMyers, Brad A.Jorge, JoaquimWehbe, Rina R.Oliver, NuriaShamma, David A.Candello, HeloisaCesar, PabloLopes, PedroArtizzu, ValentinoDraxler, FionaLopez, GustavoReinschluessel, Anke V.Tong, XinToup Dugas, Phoebe O,Many scientific fields of study use formally established reportingstandards to foster research and experimental design, transparency,replicability, peer review, and student training. Examples includeCONSORT in medicine, the What Works Clearinghouse in educa-tion, JARS in psychology. Such standards yield agreement on studyreporting and evaluation, even if using different methodologies.CHI has not adopted reporting standards. Like other fields, CHI hasseen an increased number of low-quality submissions and reviewsfueled by AI. This panel’s objective is to discuss advantages and bar-riers of adopting reporting standards for SIGCHI. Panelists includerepresentatives with significant experience creating, adopting andoperationalizing reporting standards in adjacent fields: softwareengineering, CS education, and Programming Languages. The panelwill include an overview of the history of reporting standards, a livedemo of a standards-based peer review system, discussions of op-portunities, challenges, limitations for SIGCHI reporting standards,and an interactive discussion between attendees and panelistsOtwarty dostępMonografieMonograph Chapter (Conference proceedings)
