“…As living creatures that usually move from one place to another, humans must carry their cultural colors and try hard to adapt and blend in with new environments. Broadly speaking, certain cultures will have the same reaction to certain colors as well (Pettersson, 1982). For example, in Betawi culture, red often appears together with other bright colors.…”

The research discussed the warm colors, such as yellow, orange, and red, as individual colors with a composition that could have a different impact on color connoisseurs depending on the background and context. The color was one design element that was rarely noticed but often used in everyday life. Color adds not only the beauty of an object but also the ability to manipulate the eyes and mind, often used to communicate without words. Using the right color at the right time and place could quickly send a message that was both fun and sad. The same color could mean different things in different cultural, social, economic, and political settings. Different cultures endowed color with different meanings depending on many things. As for color users, it was good to understand the effects of colors that were likely to occur to minimize the negative things. The research method applied was a qualitative narrative by collecting data from the literature, interviewing users and connoisseurs of color, observing, and analyzed. It is found that warm colors are often interpreted as bad things for some people in Jakarta, but they can also become symbols of courage and passion. It is hoped that these research results can be used as a rationale for making design work.

“…It should also be noted that it is likely that there is a cultural component to how images are perceived, therefore affecting the ability to reproduce these results in all populations. 7 A study by Ulrich et al investigated the effect of passive viewing of natural scenes on the post-operative recovery of patients after a cholecystectomy. 8 This was a retrospective study where records of patients between 1972 and 1981 who were assigned to rooms facing the gardens and rooms facing the wall of the building were examined.…”

BACKGROUND Recovery from surgery is a stressful experience for patients, both physically and psychologically. Previous research has shown that in- creased stress has effects on post-operative outcomes. Non-pharmacological therapies, such as experiencing nature, may be potential avenues to further improve patient care. METHODS PubMed and Google Scholar were searched for the terms “nature,” “plants,” “surgery,” “post-operative outcomes,” and “pain.” RESULTS There were very limited numbers of studies looking into the effect of plants, nature, and art on post-operative outcomes. Those that did exist were relatively low quality in design. Nevertheless, exposure to plants was associated with a slightly reduced systolic blood pressure and reduced self-reported stress levels and pain intensity. Similarly, a retrospective study found that patients in rooms with views of nature consumed less analgesia on days three to five post-operatively, and had a slightly shorter hospital stay. Views of artwork were associated with increased mobilization distance on day one post-operatively, but this association disappeared from day two onwards. Some evidence exists that nature and images of nature can improve pain tolerance in university students, but this may not generalize well to the clinical population. CONCLUSION There is limited evidence to support the thesis that the view of plants, nature, or art can improve post-operative outcomes. The papers identified in this review were of low quality with limited statistical power. However, enabling access to nature and art could be an avenue for non-pharmacological improvement of patient outcomes, and high-quality studies are warranted.

Previous work on the automatic identification of fallacies in natural language text has typically approached the problem in constrained experimental setups that make it difficult to understand the applicability and usefulness of the proposals in the real world. In this paper, we present the first analysis of the limitations that these data-driven approaches could show in real situations. For that purpose, we first create a validation corpus consisting of natural language argumentation schemes. Second, we provide new empirical results to the emerging task of identifying fallacies in natural language text. Third, we analyse the errors observed outside of the testing data domains considering the new validation corpus. Finally, we point out some important limitations observed in our analysis that should be taken into account in future research in this topic. Specifically, if we want to deploy these systems in the Wild. Arg.
