The document summarizes three experiments from Dutton & Aron's 1974 study that tested the hypothesis that males experiencing a strong emotion (fear) would find an attractive female more sexually appealing than males not experiencing fear. Experiment 1 found that males crossing a shaky suspension bridge rated a female interviewer as more sexually attractive than males crossing a safer bridge. However, subjects were not randomly assigned. Experiment 2 addressed this issue and replicated the results. Experiment 3 induced anxiety through electric shocks and also found that males experiencing fear found an attractive female confederate as more sexually appealing. The study provided evidence supporting the link between emotions and increased sexual attraction.

Interviewing ethnic minoritiesMark Boukes (University of Amsterdam)

��

1. Interviewing ethnic minorities presents considerations for researchers who do not belong to the ethnic minority group being studied. Access to respondents, issues of voice, and how respondents' answers are influenced by the researcher must be taken into account. 2. Researchers should be aware of cultural differences that may impact access, and build rapport with respondents to make them feel more comfortable. Respondent answers are also shaped by the perceived social roles and power dynamics between the researcher and respondent. 3. To accurately represent ethnic minority groups, researchers must recognize how their own backgrounds and biases could influence data interpretation and present the groups' perspectives without stereotyping. Understanding context is key to obtaining and analyzing responses.

This document analyzes the differences in political news coverage between the Netherlands and the United States, concluding that Dutch coverage is generally more substantive and less cynical. Factors contributing to this include a strong public broadcasting system and a multiparty political framework, which discourages negative campaigning. The study suggests that the presence of commercial pressures in media affects the coverage but that their impact is mitigated in the Dutch context.

��

This study aims to test whether different types of mediated contact with immigrants can reduce prejudice among the Dutch majority. 250 participants will be randomly assigned to one of five groups: four experimental groups involving different media (interactive video chat, non-interactive video chat, TV show, newspaper article) depicting contact between a Dutch and immigrant actor working together, and a control group. Prejudice will be measured before and after through participants' choice of reward and responses to a questionnaire. It is hypothesized that any mediated contact will reduce prejudice, and that interactive/audiovisual media will have stronger effects than non-interactive/static media. Findings could inform efforts to reduce polarization between immigrant and native groups in Dutch society.

��

This study investigates the impact of economic conditions, particularly unemployment rates, on the coverage of unemployment in Dutch newspapers, notably NRC Handelsblad, from 1990 to 2000. Using autoregressive distributed lags and error correction models, the results reveal that negative changes in unemployment significantly decrease the number of articles published about unemployment, while positive changes have a negligible impact. Overall, the findings highlight an asymmetrical media response, with more coverage driven by negative economic news.

CausalityMark Boukes (University of Amsterdam)

Antismoking campaigns can have unintended effects on smokers and non-smokers. The author analyzed survey data from 1,687 respondents to examine how antismoking messages influence behavioral intentions, attitudes, and perceptions of influence. A structural equation model with four latent factors and direct effects between them found that exposure to antismoking messages was positively associated with intention to smoke, though the effect was small. Exposure also had a positive impact on attitudes toward smoking. The model explained a higher proportion of variance in intention for smokers than non-smokers.

Etmaal 2014 presentation: on the effects of opinionated newsMark Boukes (University of Amsterdam)

��

This document summarizes a study that examined how opinionated news affects citizens' political attitudes. The study tested two hypotheses: 1) that presumed influence of opinionated news shapes perceived opinion climate and attitudes, and 2) that perceptions of bias mediate the relationship between political preferences and attitudes. Results supported both hypotheses, finding opinionated news indirectly shaped attitudes by influencing perceived opinion climate and triggering perceptions of bias. The study suggests opinionated news can indirectly influence attitudes through both cognitive and affective mechanisms.

Russia is one of the most aggressive nations when it comes to state coordinated cyberattacks — and Ukraine has been at the center of their crosshairs for 3 years. This report, provided the State Service of Special Communications and Information Protection of Ukraine contains an incredible amount of cybersecurity insights, showcasing the coordinated aggressive cyberwarfare campaigns of Russia against Ukraine. It brings to the forefront that understanding your adversary, especially an aggressive nation state, is important for cyber defense. Knowing their motivations, capabilities, and tactics becomes an advantage when allocating resources for maximum impact. Intelligence shows Russia is on a cyber rampage, leveraging FSB, SVR, and GRU resources to professionally target Ukraine’s critical infrastructures, military, and international diplomacy support efforts. The number of total incidents against Ukraine, originating from Russia, has steadily increased from 1350 in 2021 to 4315 in 2024, but the number of actual critical incidents has been managed down from a high of 1048 in 2022 to a mere 59 in 2024 — showcasing how the rapid detection and response to cyberattacks has been impacted by Ukraine’s improved cyber resilience. Even against a much larger adversary, Ukraine is showcasing outstanding cybersecurity, enabled by strong strategies and sound tactics. There are lessons to learn for any enterprise that could potentially be targeted by aggressive nation states. Definitely worth the read!

Smarter Aviation Data Management: Lessons from Swedavia Airports and SwecoSafe Software

��

Managing airport and airspace data is no small task, especially when you’re expected to deliver it in AIXM format without spending a fortune on specialized tools. But what if there was a smarter, more affordable way? Join us for a behind-the-scenes look at how Sweco partnered with Swedavia, the Swedish airport operator, to solve this challenge using FME and Esri. Learn how they built automated workflows to manage periodic updates, merge airspace data, and support data extracts – all while meeting strict government reporting requirements to the Civil Aviation Administration of Sweden. Even better? Swedavia built custom services and applications that use the FME Flow REST API to trigger jobs and retrieve results – streamlining tasks like securing the quality of new surveyor data, creating permdelta and baseline representations in the AIS schema, and generating AIXM extracts from their AIS data. To conclude, FME expert Dean Hintz will walk through a GeoBorders reading workflow and highlight recent enhancements to FME’s AIXM (Aeronautical Information Exchange Model) processing and interpretation capabilities.

For millions of people living with disabilities, poorly designed content isn’t just frustrating. It’s a barrier to growth. Inclusive learning is about fixing that. And today, AI is helping us build digital learning that’s smarter, kinder, and accessible to everyone. Accessible learning increases engagement, retention, performance, and inclusivity for everyone. Inclusive design is simply better design.

Using the SQLExecutor for Data Quality Management: aka One man's love for the...Safe Software

��

The SQLExecutor is one of FME’s most powerful and flexible transformers. Pivvot maintains a robust internal metadata hierarchy used to support ingestion and curation of thousands of external data sources that must be managed for quality before entering our platform. By using the SQLExecutor, Pivvot can efficiently detect problems and perform analysis before data is extracted from our staging environment, removing the need for rollbacks or cycles waisted on a failed job. This presentation will walk through three distinct examples of how Pivvot uses the SQLExecutor to engage its metadata hierarchy and integrate with its Data Quality Management workflows efficiently and within the source postgres database. Spatial Validation –Validating spatial prerequisites before entering a production environment. Reference Data Validation - Dynamically validate domain-ed columns across any table and multiple columns per table. Practical De-duplication - Removing identical or near-identical well point locations from two distinct source datasets in the same table.

VMware’s pricing changes have forced organizations to rethink their datacenter cost management strategies. While FinOps is commonly associated with cloud environments, the FinOps Foundation has recently expanded its framework to include Scopes—and Datacenter is now officially part of the equation. In this session, we’ll map the FinOps Framework to a VMware-based datacenter, focusing on cost visibility, optimization, and automation. You’ll learn how to track costs more effectively, rightsize workloads, optimize licensing, and drive efficiency—all without migrating to the cloud. We’ll also explore how to align IT teams, finance, and leadership around cost-aware decision-making for on-prem environments. If your VMware bill keeps increasing and you need a new approach to cost management, this session is for you!
