Crowd Effect

Thanks to a large-scale campaign to increase the financial literacy of Russian citizens, financial pyramids began to seem like ghosts from the past, but in 2019 in Russia a significant number of financial pyramids were recorded. Financial literacy protects citizens from the so-called economic methods of involvement in dubious money enterprises. To a lesser extent, the layman is protected from psychological and sociological methods of influence. Psychology implies managing a person with controversial methods. Sociology offers the so-called crowd effect as an explanation of the phenomenon of mass insanity. This work classifies typical methods of attracting investors to the Russian financial pyramids, for which purpose a combined model of influence on citizens, including economic, psychological and sociological methods, is constructed. Based on this model, a typology of investors is proposed taking into account the methods of their involvement.

The Many

Of the many effects that eye contact has, perhaps the most powerful is the stare-in-the-crowd effect, wherein faces are detected more readily when they look directly toward you. This is commonly attributed to others’ eyes being especially salient visual stimuli, but here we ask whether stares-in-the-crowd might arise instead from a deeper property that the eyes (but not only the eyes) signify: the direction of others’ attention and intentions. In fact, even simple geometric shapes can be seen as intentional, as when numerous randomly scattered cones are all consistently pointing at you. Accordingly, we show here that cones directed at the observer are detected faster (in fields of averted cones) than are cones averted away from the observer (in fields of directed cones). These results suggest that perceived intentionality itself captures attention—and that even in the absence of eyes, others’ directed attention stands out in a crowd.

Floor System

This paper proposed a new kind of precast hollow cross-grid floor system which is fabricated by several precast panels and post-poured concrete strips. As there is a lack of data related to the vibration serviceability of this new floor system which aim at being used in the large-span buildings, an experimental investigation was conducted. The data obtained from the experiment showed the new floor system meet existing China criteria under most pedestrian excitations. The resultsalso demonstrated thepacing rate influence the vibration performances most as the crowd effect least. Then the FEM analysis was taken to predict the peak acceleration of the new kind of floor system comparing to the experimental results using different coefficient of dynamic force.
