1	Persuasive Design in Digital Pediatric Asthma Self- Management : Physician Perspectives / Övertygande design i ett pediatrisk självhanteringssystem för astma : Läkarperspektiv Soltan, Aleksandra January 2021 (has links) This work explores the acceptability of various persuasive design principles for pediatric users of a digital, asthma self-management solution. While persuasive design methods have been shown to motivate adherence to digital self-management, effective persuasion is highly context-dependent. The gap in research on persuasive design for younger users of asthma self-management applications raises the question of which persuasive principles are acceptable for this group’s unique context. This question is explored through the Persuasive Systems Design model. Based on interviews and workshop feedback from physicians, six persuasive principles were chosen for a redesign of an existing asthma self-management solution. The prototype was evaluated for potential acceptability by user proxies. The Personalization and Simulation persuasive principles were perceived as most acceptable for pediatric, digital asthma self-management. / Detta arbete undersöker hur pediatriska användare upplever acceptansen av övertygande designprinciper av ett digitalt självhanteringsstystem för astma. Även om övertygande designmetoder har visat sig motivera att man följer digital självhantering, är effektiv övertalning mycket kontextberoende. Den vetenskapliga kunskapsluckan rörande övertygande design för yngre användare väcker frågan om vilka designprinciper som anses vara acceptabla för denna grupps unika sammanhang. Denna fråga utforskas i detta arbete genom modellen för övertygande systemdesign. Baserat på intervjuer och workshops med läkare valdes sex övertygande designprinciper ut för att designas om för ett befintligt självhanteringssystem för astma. Designprototypen utvärderades med avseende på potentiell acceptans av användarproxys. Resultatet av undersökningen visade att personifierings- och simuleringsövertygande designprinciper uppfattades som mest acceptabla för pediatrisk, digital självhantering för astma.

2	Green Relationship Imad, Fadel 01 May 2014 (has links) Green Relationship is a design solution attempting to raise awareness toward the environment and reduce consumerism. Waste generation and pollution have become major concerns of many governments, municipalities, organizations and individuals around the world since they are affecting human wellbeing and the environment. As an MFA student with VCUQatar, I chose to use design to contribute in protecting the environment hoping to make a difference in life. The thesis includes a research and a design component. The research explores the recycling programs and facilities in Qatar, the governmental and private sector actions toward waste generation and collection, as well as precedent solutions applied around the world. Furthermore, it includes a survey on recycling to gather and analyze the community’s feed back in order to come up with a solution that aims to change people’s behavior toward waste generation and to promote green lifestyle. The design component defines the Green Relationship as the personal connection between the individual and the silent partner, “the environment.” It fulfills the basic survival needs, “food and water,” and the one and only independency need, “oxygen.” The elements of the Green Relationship are the projection of the generic relationships elements we know of through the theory of “Humimicing” that I introduce in my thesis. Humimicing is the design theory that mimics human innate attributes and behaviors to develop design concepts to be applied in different industries. Every element of the Green Relationship is visualized through a different design discipline similar to its nature. Therefore, interactive, product and critical designs are the mediums used to represent Green Communication, Care and Ethics respectively through public installation, experimentation and conceptual design definition. The thesis methodology, which is “Make it Personal,” concludes in creating the Green Relationship that aims to change the behavior of individuals and ultimately to reach out to the wider community. Under the maxim, “Green is not just a color; it is a Lifestyle,” the thesis promotes the use of design to inspire people, designers and manufacturers to consume less and generate less waste in order to save natural resources and the environment.
