“…The study adopted the standard practice of selecting fit indices from previous research (Jackson et al, 2009; Zhou et al, 2012) and settled on the following fit indices to test the adjusted measurement model: χ 2 , degrees of freedom ( df ), χ 2 / df ratio, goodness-of-fit index (Keszei et al, 2014), adjusted goodness-of-fit index (AGFI), normed fit index (NFI), Tucker-Lewis index (TLI), comparative fit index (CFI), and root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA). The results, summarized in Table 3, showed all evaluation indices of the measurement model fell into acceptable ranges based on recommended criteria with the measurement model’s fit indices well above the minimum values recommended by prior studies (Hair et al, 2019; Segars & Grover, 1993; Zhou et al, 2012).…”

Studies conducted in Western democratic countries with privately owned press presenting news from different ideological perspectives have found the phenomenon of news overload causes stress in media users (affective load) and this leads to news avoidance behavior. This study, conducting a structural equation modeling using AMOS 27, investigates the relationships between news overload, affective load, and consequent news avoidance behavior in China. The findings suggest, consistent with studies in Western democratic jurisdictions, that news overload and affective load influence users’ news avoidance behavior. However, in contrast to studies outside of China, this study found demographic variables of age, gender, education, and occupation had no statistically significant influence on avoidance behavior by Chinese social media news consumers. The results suggest that either social attributes and responses by media users in China are significantly different from those in Western countries or ideology plays an important role in avoidance behavior and the impact of ideology is different across different demographic groups in Western jurisdictions.

“…Of course, the current thesis is not the first initiative to study how humans interact with complex three dimensional virtual environments (e.g. Bohil, Alicea, & Biocca, 2011;Keszei et al, 2014;Sziebig & Øritsland, 2012). Nonetheless, integrative view of neuroscientific, cognitive, and psychological results makes the present work a unique contribution to the field.…”

Spatial Perception and Cognition, Insights From Virtual Reality Experiments

Several important questions of human spatial perception and cognition can only be answered with the use of virtual reality. Virtual environments enable the manipulation of reality, and their perception provides us insights on how spatial cognition works under normal circumstances. The present dissertation also benefits from this tool in answering how our senses, our body, and our viewpoint affect our spatial representations. In the first study, we investigated how different viewpoints are associated with different reference frames. The results of the tablet PC navigation task showed that when we take a ground-level viewpoint, an egocentric frame of reference is preferred. However, from an aerial viewpoint, using an allocentric frame of reference results in better navigation performance. This difference motivated the second study presented herein. We examined how the lack of constant feedback from our position change affects navigation. In the experiment, participants were searching rewards in the East or the West alleys of a cross-maze. Before each choice, they were teleported randomly either to the South or to the North alley. The teleportation induced reorientation, which resulted in profound topographic ERP differences as early as 100 msec. Furthermore, we found that, here, reward objects were represented in allocentric reference frame. Because both of these studies were primarily visual, in the next study we demonstrated the dominance of vision in spatial perception. We showed that sounds were perceived as coming from the direction of the concurrent visual stimuli in virtual reality. The role of multisensory perception in spatial cognition has been the focus of the last study. In this experiment we showed that object seem farther when we look up to them, and they seem closer when we look down at them. This phenomenon is caused by a multisensory integration between vision and the vestibular sense. The four presented studies support the notion of multisensory and collage-like nature of cognitive maps. The present research, besides of its significance to basic research, holds also important implications for applied fields. Hence, we devote the last chapter to discussing our results from the perspective of virtual reality navigation interface design. This work is original, except where references and acknowledgements are made to previous work. Neither this nor any substantially similar dissertation has been or is being submitted for any other degree, diploma, or other qualification at any other university.

“…Mostly composed by unregistered micro and small enterprises, South Kivu food and agribusiness sector have been victims of the fallout of armed conflict and looting that led some large companies to reduce their productive capacity and others to cease their activities (Vwima, 2014). In addition, several agricultural policies have been adopted but failed to boost the agricultural sector as they have been geared towards improving the business environment of major mining companies at the expense of agriculture (Lebailly, Michel, & Ntoto, 2014) and promoting local small business. Programs implemented by the Congolese government with its multiple partners for supporting SMEs and agribusiness to provide primary production and downstream support service failed too (Kabango, 2015).…”

The objective of this study is to analyze differences between business obstacles and performance by their location using 92 food and agribusiness firms operating in rural and urban areas. Descriptive statistics, chi-square and analysis of variance are used to evaluate data collected through household surveys. Chi-square test are used to identify relationships between location and enterprises characteristics and business obstacles. Results reveal a less participation of female in ownership and management. Access to finance still the main obstacle faced by all firms. Scarcity of electricity, transportation cost and lack of equipment are perceived as severe and moderate obstacles. The analysis of variance show that urban firms are able generate higher profit margin than rural firms. These results are helpful for policymakers to promote food and agribusiness sector in order to reduce poverty and enable SME growth in Eastern of the Democratic Republic of Congo (South Kivu region).
