Visualizing partitioned data in Audience Response Systems : A design-driven approach

Wiigh, Oscar January 2020 (has links)
Meetings and presentations are often monological in their nature, creating a barrier of productivity in workplaces around the world. By utilizing modern technologies such as a web-based Audience Response System (ARS), meetings and presentations can be transformed into interactive exercises where the audience’s views, opinions and answers can be expressed. Visualizing these audience responses and relating questions-specific partitioned answers between each other, through visualization structures, was the topic of this report. The thesis project was carried out in collaboration with Mentimeter, creator of a web-based ARS and online presentation tool. The Double Diamond design process model was used to investigate and ground the design and development process. To guide the implementation of the prototypes, a focus group was held with four visualization and design professionals knowledgeable about ARSs, to gather feedback on high fidelity sketches. The final prototypes were evaluated with the extended Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) for information visualization to survey end-users' attitudes and willingness to adopt the visualization structures. Eight end-users tested the final web-based prototypes. The findings of the user tests indicate that both visualizations prototypes showed promise for visualizing partitioned data in novel ways for ARSs, with an emphasis on a circle cluster visualization as it allowed for the desired exploration. The results further imply that there is value to be gained by presenting partitioned data in ways that allows for exploration, and that audiences would likely adopt a full implementation of the visualizations given some added functionalities and adjustments. Future research should focus on fully implementing and testing the visualizations in front of a live audience, as well investigating other contemporary visualization structures and their capabilities for visualizing partitioned ARS data. / Möten och presentationer är ofta sedda som ett produktivitetshinder på arbetsplatser runtom i världen på grund av deras monologiska natur. Genom att använda moderna tekniska lösningar såsom webbaserade Audience Response Systems (ARS) så kan möten och presentationer omvandlas till interaktiva moment där en publiks perspektiv, åsikter och svar kan uttryckas. Att visualisera en publiks svar och relatera frågespecifika partitionerade svar mellan varandra, genom visualiseringar, var denna rapports huvudämne. Projektet utfördes i samarbete med Mentimeter, skapare av ett webbaserat ARS och digitalt presentationsverktyg. Double Diamond-modellen användes för att undersöka och förankra design- och utvecklingsarbetet i projektet. För att guida utvecklingsarbetet, och få feedback på designförslag, genomfördes en fokusgrupp med fyra visualiserings- och designexperter som besatt kunskap om ARS. De framtagna prototyperna utvärderas genom den utökade Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) för att undersöka slutanvändares inställning och villighet att använda visualiseringarna. Totalt testade åtta slutanvändare de framtagna webbaserade prototyperna. Resultatet av användartesterna indikerade att båda visualiseringsprototyperna har potential att visualisera partitionerad data på nya sätt i ARS, men att en klustervisualisering var överlägsen från en utforskningssynpunkt. Resultaten innebär vidare att det finns ett värde i att presentera partitionerad data på sätt som möjliggör utforskning av publikens svar, och att publiken troligen kommer att anta en fullständig implementering av visualiseringarna förutsatt några extra funktioner och justeringar. Framtida forskning bör fokusera på att fullständigt implementera och testa visualiseringarna framför en faktiskt publik, samt undersöka andra samtida visualiseringsstrukturer och deras möjligheter att visualisera partitionerad ARS-data.

Using a multi-stakeholder experience-based design process to co-develop the Creating Active Schools Framework

Daly-Smith, Andrew, Quarmby, T., Archbold, V.S.J., Corrigan, N., Wilson, D., Resaland, G.K., Bartholomew, J.B., Singh, A., Tjomsland, H.E., Sherar, L.B., Chalkley, Anna, Routen, A.C., Shickle, D., Bingham, Daniel D., Barber, S.E., van Sluijs, E., Fairclough, S.J., McKenna, J. 23 September 2020 (has links)
Yes / UK and global policies recommend whole-school approaches to improve childrens' inadequate physical activity (PA) levels. Yet, recent meta-analyses establish current interventions as ineffective due to suboptimal implementation rates and poor sustainability. To create effective interventions, which recognise schools as complex adaptive sub-systems, multi-stakeholder input is necessary. Further, to ensure 'systems' change, a framework is required that identifies all components of a whole-school PA approach. The study's aim was to co-develop a whole-school PA framework using the double diamond design approach (DDDA). Fifty stakeholders engaged in a six-phase DDDA workshop undertaking tasks within same stakeholder (n = 9; UK researchers, public health specialists, active schools coordinators, headteachers, teachers, active partner schools specialists, national organisations, Sport England local delivery pilot representatives and international researchers) and mixed (n = 6) stakeholder groupings. Six draft frameworks were created before stakeholders voted for one 'initial' framework. Next, stakeholders reviewed the 'initial' framework, proposing modifications. Following the workshop, stakeholders voted on eight modifications using an online questionnaire. Following voting, the Creating Active Schools Framework (CAS) was designed. At the centre, ethos and practice drive school policy and vision, creating the physical and social environments in which five key stakeholder groups operate to deliver PA through seven opportunities both within and beyond school. At the top of the model, initial and in-service teacher training foster teachers' capability, opportunity and motivation (COM-B) to deliver whole-school PA. National policy and organisations drive top-down initiatives that support or hinder whole-school PA. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first time practitioners, policymakers and researchers have co-designed a whole-school PA framework from initial conception. The novelty of CAS resides in identifying the multitude of interconnecting components of a whole-school adaptive sub-system; exposing the complexity required to create systems change. The framework can be used to shape future policy, research and practice to embed sustainable PA interventions within schools. To enact such change, CAS presents a potential paradigm shift, providing a map and method to guide future co-production by multiple experts of PA initiatives 'with' schools, while abandoning outdated traditional approaches of implementing interventions 'on' schools. / The conference and workshop were jointly funded through an internal Leeds Beckett Research grant, the Yorkshire Sport Foundation and Public Health England (Yorkshire and Humber).

俄羅斯半導體產業發展之研究:台俄產業合作機會探討 / A Study of Semiconductor Industry Development in Russia

王麗銘 Unknown Date (has links)
台灣半導體產業發展成熟,產業群聚效應明顯,供應鏈完整。基於晶圓製造過程中成本花費考量,若能尋找設備、零組件、材料原廠以外的第二來源,對於台灣半導體廠商而言,除了有機會降低成本,也能不受到原廠的牽制。另外,台廠期望能透過自主開發生產設備來取代設備的高額進口成本,然而目前本土設備廠商自主開發前段製程設備能力有限,向外尋求關鍵技術之合作為良好的解決方案。筆者思考這兩個方面是否能透過與俄羅斯合作,成功突破目前的情況。 本論文針對俄羅斯半導體產業過去發展、現況與未來發展進行研究,同時了解台灣與全球半導體產業現況及發展前景。運用文獻檢閱法搜集全球、台灣、俄羅斯半導體產業現有資料。筆者也使用訪問法,自行設計訪談問題,以台灣及俄羅斯半導體產業專家為對象進行訪談,並將搜集到的第一手資料資料進行整理,以Rugman 與 Verbeke的「雙鑽石模型」,分別為「生產因素條件」、「需求條件」、「相關及支援性產業」、「企業策略、結構與競爭」,以及第五個因素「政府」作為理論架構,分析台灣與俄羅斯半導體產業發展現況,並提出雙方可能合作機會與策略之建議。 研究發現俄羅斯科學基礎研究實力豐厚,晶片應用著重在軍事、航太等方面,晶片生產朝向少量多樣方向發展。從俄羅斯政府許多政策上可以其支持國內微電子產業的發展,並期望微電子產業的振興能帶動國內其他產業的升級。台灣晶圓製造能力強,供應鏈完整,應用領域主要專注於資通訊方面,雙方競爭可能性低。台灣在基礎研究與設備開發所需技術方面,實力較為不足,與俄羅斯進行技術合作可謂實現設備國產化的策略之一。經由理論架構分析,台灣與俄羅斯進行技術合作,有望能縮短設備開發所需的時日。台灣供應鏈及先進製造能力,能為俄羅斯特殊晶片提供生產製造、封裝檢測等服務。台俄雙方在半導體領域的合作機會大,可互相補足缺口,促成產業升級。 / The semiconductor industry in Taiwan is well developed. Because of the high cost of wafer manufacturing process, having a second source of equipment, components, and materials would be beneficial for Taiwanese semiconductor companies. The cost of production and dependency on original equipment suppliers will decrease. In addition, Taiwanese companies seek the opportunity to be self-reliant on developing production equipment in order to reduce the high cost of importing equipment. However, the capacity of Taiwanese equipment manufacturers is limited. Cooperate with foreign companies on key technology is the preferable solution. This thesis focuses on the cooperation with Russia companies and check whether Taiwanese companies can have a breakthrough at current situation. This study includes the past, present, and the future development of Taiwanese and Russian semiconductor industry. Literature review and interview method are two main research methods. Collecting current reference of global, Taiwanese, and Russian semiconductor industry and primary sources from the interview with semiconductor industry experts, the author conducts an analysis on the development of the semiconductor industry in Taiwan and Russia with the “Double Diamond” model of Rugman and Verbeke. The analysis factors include “Factors conditions”, “Demand conditions”, “Related and supporting industries”, and “Government.” Further, this research proposes advice for cooperation and strategies. Through theoretical analysis, technical cooperation between Taiwan and Russia is expected to shorten the develop time of equipment. Industrial supply chain and advanced manufacturing capacity in Taiwan can provide manufacturing, packaging and testing service for Russia. Cooperation between Taiwan and Russia in the field of semiconductor can complement each other and will promote industrial upgrading.

CHECK this out : Designing a resource planning feature into an existing accounting system

Eidet, Maya, Bergman, Sara January 2023 (has links)
Oh My is a design and brand agency that has been developing CHECK, an accounting, billing, and time reporting system. CHECK has been developed to ease the billing and accounting process by making a front-shell system that is easier to use than the existing back-end economic system (Fortnox). To further enhance CHECK’s user experience, a need for a resource scheduling feature arose. The mission of this master thesis project is therefore to design a resource scheduling feature by going through the double diamond design process.  The double diamond design process consists of four phases, a discovering phase, a defining phase, a developing phase, and a delivering phase. The discovering phase consisted of a literature review, interviews, user observations, a market analysis, and workshops to discover the current resource scheduling market and Oh My’s resource scheduling needs. The defining phase consisted of collecting and sorting the information gathered in the previous phase, which were conducted by using a design specification. The developing phase was the creative phase where solutions were beginning to emerge through paper prototyping. The delivering phase was the iterative phase where user tests were conducted, and the design was changed and improved. The delivering phase contained 4 different user test that resulted in the final version of a resource planning system.

Designing an Assistive Technology for Self-reflection for Students Suffering from ADHD at Malmö University

Ravishankar, Vandana January 2022 (has links)
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), is a behaviour disorder, usually first diagnosed in childhood, that is characterized by inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. ADHD is often associated with co-morbid disorders like bipolar disorder, anxiety, depression, and substance abuse. The diagnosis of ADHD is clinically established by a review of symptoms and impairment from the child’s young age. There are numerous assistive technologies that exist for people suffering from ADHD but there exists a research gap in developing self-reflective tools for people with neurodevelopmental disorders. This paper bridges this research gap for students at Malmö University. This project will focus on developing a personalized interactive AI-based system that captures contextual data, analyses it to find relevant patterns in user’s behaviour, and visualizes it effectively to provide students with ADHD with insights into the parameters influencing the nature of their disorder. The project is performed under a Double Diamond method which allows for iteration. The methods used mostly comprise co-design methods to ensure the concept caters to the user’s needs. The project is based on learnings from three key areas: Interactive AI, Personal Informatics and Systems as dialogue partners.

Samtidskonstmuseet och virtuella utställningar i den digitala konstproduktionens tidsålder : ett informationsarkitektoniskt perspektiv på hur museer kan ställa ut digital och digitaliserad konst / Contemporary art museums and online exhibitions in the age of digital art production : an information architecture perspective on how art museums can exhibit digital and digitized art

Brinkborg, Iris January 2021 (has links)
Most contemporary artists work digitally in one way or another, despite the fact that established art museums do not offer a platform to display digital art, which means that it is difficult for visitors to find it and that media art will have a lower status compared to physical art. For a long time the art museum business has had a complex relationship with the digitization of physical works, virtual museums and intangible art works. These are discussions that had to be ignored when the pandemic started and the art museums were forced to digitize activities that had previously been completely analogous. This report with associated artifacts strives to map digital exhibition trends and create a digital exhibition format that takes into account artistic intention and the art museum's activities, and puts the user experience in focus. The report concludes that it is difficult to generalize when it comes to art, but that digital exhibitions have great potential because you do not have to deal with gravity, wires and other physical aspects when installing digital works in a physical space. Another conclusion is that art museums must begin to look at the developer as part of the core business for the digitization initiatives to work in the long term. Perhaps the pandemic will ultimately mean that art museums to a greater extent dare to break new ground, test new exhibition formats and become more positive about the possibilities of digital exhibition formats.

Development of a Novel Device for Optimal Sample Blood Volume Collection from Patients with Sepsis / Utveckling av ett Instrument för Insamling av Optimal Blodvolym från Sepsispatienter

Boltshauser, Rasmus January 2020 (has links)
When performing sepsis diagnosis, the most important preanalytical variable is blood volume. Too little blood increases the risk for false negatives whereas overfilling causes increased risk for false positives. Even though this fact is known, there are case studies showing that in a majority of tests, the taken blood sample volume is not the recommended amount. As previously tried methods have been limited in their ability to tackle the problem this study aimed at creating a technical device to aid healthcare providers with blood volume sample collection. As a base, the double diamond approach by the Design Council was used. This design approach splits up the design process in four distinctly different phases (discover, define, develop, and deliver) all using their own methods to aid the creative process. After completing the discover and define phase it was determined that a non-contact capacitance liquid level sensor could operate as an ideal blood volume sample device. During the development and delivery phase prototypes were created and evaluated. The final results of this work could not give conclusive evidence concerning if a non-contact liquid level sensor could operate as an ideal blood volume collection device. The methodological approach used in this thesis can be used as inspiration for a designer to create a device for a similar or different purpose. Moreover, information from this thesis can also work as reference material to develop a device to perform ideal blood volume sample collection. Such a device would have the potential to be an essential part of the everyday workflow in sample collection from patients with sepsis worldwide and would aid in ensures effective and fast diagnostics.

Contextualizing Customer Feedback: A Research-through-Design Approach - Alternative Approaches and Dialogical Engagement in Survey Design

Svensson, Rasmus January 2023 (has links)
Providing context behind customer feedback remains a challenge for company’s who rely on approaching Customer Experience (CX) through standardized Customer Satisfaction (CS) metrics like Net Promoter Score (NPS), Customer Satisfaction Score (CSAT), and Customer Effort Score (CES). Practical guidelines for monitoring CS throughout the customer journey are limited, creating a gap in academic research. This study addresses this gap by offering practical guidelines for CS, actionable insights, and alternative survey design strategies within the context of invoicing. Utilizing a Research-through-Design (RtD) approach guided by the Double Diamond design model, the study consists of four phases: Discover, Define, Develop, and Deliver. From a service design perspective using qualitative methods, the study acquires and analyzes both organizational and customer insights. Synthesized empirical findings emphasize the need for a more comprehensive approach that targets specific phases of the customer journey utilizing a more customer- centric approach, paving the way for alternative methods that reaches beyond just simply measuring CS. Introducing the concept of a personal companion, the study presents a dialogical approach where surveys are experienced as ongoing interactions rather mere tasks. By highlighting the importance of contextualization, alternative survey approaches, and a dialogical approach, this research aims to guide company’s in managing customer feedback strategies.
