Many educators use the Me! Lessons to teach high school students with disabilities self-advocacy and self-awareness knowledge and skills. We conducted a mixed-methods study to examine the usefulness of the lessons, obtain student and parent perceptions of the lessons and to examine the lessons' impact on student knowledge. This study indicates the usefulness of the Me! Lessons for teaching high school students with various disabilities needed self-awareness and self-advocacy knowledge. Qualitative findings suggest that students and parents value the content in the Me! Lessons and parents want students to learn about disability awareness and self-advocacy at school.

Self-awareness is defined as the ability of an individual to perceive one’s physical and mental properties separately from the characteristics of the external world and/or other individuals. Traditionally, self-awareness is considered as one of the attributes of human consciousness, indicating the meaningfulness of human behavior. In recent years, there has been increasing evidence of self-awareness in different animal species. One of the earliest evolutionary components of self-awareness is body size awareness, which is expressed in the ability to consider the boundaries of one’s own body when interacting with environmental objects. In this study, we examined body size awareness in ferrets. During the experiments, the animals had to pass through holes, some of which were too small for their bodies to penetrate, and some were suitable. The results show that ferrets could pre-select the penetrable opening, even when the impassable ones were larger. We believe that these data indicate the presence of body size awareness traits in ferrets, which in turn suggests their self-awareness. This opens the way for the study and discussion of self-awareness in many other animals.

The article treats self-esteem as a very subjective and personal feature of human psyche, which integrates behavior and activity of a personality and determines the implementation of his/her potential. It is emphasized that self-esteem is formed under more or less active participation of the personality and reflects the qualitative uniqueness of the mental world of an individual. Having described the levels of self-esteem, the authors focus on the study of self-esteem development in ontogenesis. They use A.A. Rean’s methodology “Personality self-esteem” to identify the development level of the functions regulating life activities and psychological development of the individual as a whole on the basis of determining the rank correlation coefficient, which is an indication of adequate or inadequate self-esteem. The results of students’ self-esteem study are presented. It is proved that only a small percentage of students demonstrate positive changes in self-esteem while being trained at the university. Teachers are recommended to consider the personal and psychological characteristics of students within the differentiated approach to training to ensure successful mastering of curriculum by students.

OBJECTIVE:: To investigate the relations among self-awareness (SA), impaired SA, and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) after traumatic brain injury (TBI). PARTICIPANTS:: One hundred forty-one adults hospitalized with TBI and their significant others from a cross-sectional multicenter study. Using Glasgow Coma Scale classification, 32 participants had severe injuries, 29 moderate, 44 mild, and 25 complicated mild TBI. MEASURES:: Patient Competency Rating Scale for Neurorehabilitation; Short Form-36 Health Survey; Cognitive Quality of Life; Quality Of Life after Brain Injury; Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale; Profile of Mood States; Glasgow Outcome Scale Extended. METHOD:: Patient Competency Rating Scale for Neurorehabilitation ratings made by participants and their significant others were used to assess SA and discrepancies between the 2 ratings were used to define impaired SA. RESULTS:: Significant associations were identified between SA and HRQOL, anxiety, depression, and severity of injury. Participants with and without impaired SA differed in cognitive HRQOL and leisure activities. Using multiple regression, no direct predictors of SA were identified, although interaction effects were observed. CONCLUSION:: After TBI, lower SA is associated with higher estimates of HRQOL, particularly in the cognitive domain. Although the associations are modest, the assessment of SA should play a role in the interpretation of reported HRQOL after TBI.

We present PowerDial, a system for dynamically adapting application behavior to execute successfully in the face of load and power fluctuations. PowerDial transforms static configuration parameters into dynamic knobs that the PowerDial control system can manipulate to dynamically trade off the accuracy of the computation in return for reductions in the computational resources that the application requires to produce its results. These reductions translate directly into performance improvements and power savings. Our experimental results show that PowerDial can enable our benchmark applications to execute responsively in the face of power caps that would otherwise significantly impair responsiveness. They also show that PowerDial can significantly reduce the number of machines required to service intermittent load spikes, enabling reductions in power and capital costs.

A study was conducted to investigate the body movements of participants waiting to be interviewed in one of two conditions: preparing to answer questions truthfully or preparing to lie. The effects of increased self-awareness were also investigated, with half of the participants facing a mirror; the other half facing a blank wall. Analysis of covertly obtained video footage showed a significant interaction for the duration of hand/arm movements between deception level and self-awareness. Without a mirror, participants expecting to lie spent less time moving their hands than those expecting to tell the truth; the opposite was seen in the presence of a mirror. Participants expecting to lie also had higher levels of anxiety and thought that they were left waiting for less time than those expecting to tell the truth. These findings led to the identification of further research areas with the potential to support deception detection in security applications.

The aim of this study was to examine the impact of each dimension of emotional intelligence on job performance. There is a dearth of studies that have examined the association between the sub-dimensions of emotional intelligence and job performance in a developing country. This study will address this gap in conceptual research. This was a quantitative study that adopted a positivist philosophy. The participants were employees in the banking sector in Djibouti. Data was collected from 121 respondents. Multiple regression analysis was done to test the hypothesis. This study revealed that the self-awareness and self-management dimensions of emotional intelligence had a positive and significant relationship with performance. However, social awareness and relationship management had an insignificant relationship with job performance. The results of this study provided insights to policymakers for effective job performance. This paper provides an understanding on the sub-dimensions of emotional intelligence and their influence on employee performance.

Acquired brain injury/illness (ABI) can lead to a range of cognitive, physical, emotional, social and behavioural sequelae. Unawareness of these deficits and of errors made in activities of everyday living can be a significant barrier for successful outcomes in rehabilitation following ABI. This review presents several theories and clinical models that propose multiple psychological, neuropsychological and biopsychosocial underpinnings of impaired self-awareness (ISA). Current knowledge regarding neuropathology of awareness is discussed, highlighting the widespread locations and connections within the brain that are implicated in awareness. Clinical practice promotes a client-centred approach to rehabilitation that acknowledges the multiple contributing factors of ISA post-ABI. This review discusses the merits of theories and clinical models in providing a useful framework for assessing and treating the multifaceted and complex phenomenon of ISA following ABI.

Self-integration requires a system to be self-aware and self-protecting of its functionality and communication processes to mitigate interference in accomplishing its goals. Incorporating self-protection into a framework for reasoning about compliance with critical requirements is a major challenge when the system's operational environment may have uncertainties resulting in runtime changes. The reasoning should be over a range of impacts and tradeoffs in order for the system to immediately address an issue, even if only partially or imperfectly. Assuming that critical requirements can be formally specified and embedded as part of system self-awareness, runtime verification often involves extensive on-board resources and state explosion, with minimal explanation of results. Model-checking partially mitigates runtime verification issues by abstracting the system operations and architecture. However, validating the consistency of a model given a runtime change is generally performed external to the system and translated back to the operational environment, which can be inefficient. This paper focuses on codifying and embedding verification awareness into a system. Verification awareness is a type of self-awareness related to reasoning about compliance with critical properties at runtime when a system adaptation is needed. The premise is that an adaptation that interferes with a design-time proof process for requirement compliance increases the risk that the original proof process cannot be reused. The greater the risk to limiting proof process reuse, the higher the probability that the requirement would be violated by the adaptation. The application of Rice's 1953 theorem to this domain indicates that determining whether a given adaptation inherently inhibits proof reuse is undecidable, suggesting the heuristic, comparative approach based on proof metadata that is part of our approach. To demonstrate our deployment of verification awareness, we predefine four adaptations that are all available to three distinct wearable simulations (hearables, stress, and insulin delivery). We capture metadata from applying automated theorem proving to wearable requirements and assess the risk among the four adaptations for limiting the proof process reuse for each of their requirements. The results show that the adaptations affect proof process reuse differently on each wearable. We evaluate our reasoning framework by embedding checkpoints for requirement compliance within the wearable code and log the execution trace of each adaptation. The logs confirm that the adaptation selected by each wearable with the lowest risk of inhibiting proof process reuse for its requirements also causes the least number of requirement failures in execution.
