Detta kandidatarbete är format för att belysa den subjektiva upplevelsen av omvärlden hos människor med psykisk ohälsa, hur deras varseblivning kan förvrängas i svåra omständigheter. Då man uppfattar att antalet individer med psykisk ohälsa har ökat de senaste åren, så finns ett behov av att skapa ett nytt sätt, eller redskap för dem som behöver eventuella hjälpmedel och allmän förståelse i samhället. Med hjälp av kunskapen bakom perception utifrån bl.a. Yvonne Eriksson och Michel Chion kompetenser så vill vi ta fram ett sätt att placera in människor i en emotionellt påverkande miljö. Genom olika metoder så som intervjuer och kritiskt skapande har det framtagits hur vi skulle kunna gestalta en subjektiv upplevelse genom att betrakta audiovisuell varseblivning som verktyg i nämnd gestaltning. Avslutningsvis presenterar vi hur forskningen framställs under prövandet av gestaltnings prototyper och under diskussionen tas det även upp hur andra förhållningssätt hade kunnat forma projektet och dess resultat. / This bachelor thesis is formed to illustrate the subjective experience that people with mental illness have of the surrounding world, for how their perception can be distorted in bad circumstances. When one observes the number of individuals with mental illness rising the last couple of years, then we might need a new way off, or tool to show how those individuals do need eventual help and understanding in society. We want to create a way to place people with in an emotionally affecting environment, this with help of the knowledge behind perception with among others Yvonne Eriksson and Michel Chion´s competence. With different methods such as interviews and critical making its been formulated a way of how we would be able to mould a subjective experience with the concept that audiovisual perception as a tool in the configured artwork. At the end we present how the research show up while we examen the designed prototypes and under the discussion we bring up how other approaches may have formed the project and its result.

Digital platforms such as social media are big part of people's everyday life and social network. Recent studies shows that the ability to act anonymously on social media has increased harassment behaviors online. For marginalized groups, digital platforms are important for the act of freedom of speech and harassments online can limit these groups in the digital environment. Within the framework of this study we found, that there is a lack of studies that specifically research sexual harassments online and what different factors that may have an impact on the problem. Therefore, the aim for this study was to research what values, attitudes and emotions users of social media services experiences online. We wanted to research, from a user perspective, what existing counter-strategies options are provided on social media against sexual harassments online, and if there are other technical design solutions for social media interfaces. Within the framework of this essay we have conducted a focus group interview and a participatory design workshop. The empirical data that was collected has been analysed with different theories such as power, resistance, empowerment in design, master suppression techniques in social media, feminist HCI and social norms and participatory design. The study also use previous research on harassment on social media to further understand the empirical data for the analysis. In this study there are findings from the focus group that has been placed in three different themes. 1) The importance of social relationships for counter-strategies against sexual harassment online. 2) Social norms and normalization of sexual harassment online. 3) The importance of technical aspects for dealing with sexual harassment online. Our study shows that the counter-strategies options on social media services today are not sufficient enough for these different aspects. The participatory design workshop in this study resulted in eight possible technical design solutions. These solutions can be implications for design on social media interfaces and can work as counter-strategy tools against sexual harassments online. This study only research one focus group, therefore the study can be used as a basis for further research. By including users with participatory design methods, values made from users of social media in relation to sexual harassments online can unfold and hopefully decrease the problem.

Biometric monitoring as part of workplace surveillance is an emerging phenomenon alongside the widespread use of self-tracking technologies. Among tools that are used for biometric monitoring of employees are technologies for menstrual tracking, and companies who have access to their employees menstrual data could use it against them to exert power, control, and discrimination. This project critically addresses questions of surveillance, privacy and productivity at the workplace as menstrual tracking technologies are being inserted into the workplace. It does so by applying a Research through Design (RtD) methodology and creating the fictional menstrual tracking application Career Cycles, which invites users to consider how menstrual technologies at the workplace could and should work. This project contributes to HCI research by demonstrating how a design artifact can engage users in critical discussion about the quantification of the menstruating body, menstrual surveillance at the workplace, and productivity. / Biometrisk övervakning av anställda som är ett framväxande fenomen vid sidan av den alltmer utbredda användningen av teknologier för självspårning. Bland verktyg som används för biometrisk övervakning av anställda finns teknologier för menstruationscykelspårning, och företag som har tillgång till deras anställdas menstruationsata data kan använda den för att utöva makt, kontroll och diskriminering. Detta projekt adresserar kritiskt upp frågor om övervakning, integritet och produktivitet på arbetsplatsen i samband med att teknologier för menstruationscykelspårning införs på arbetsplatser. Det görs genom att tillämpa en Research through Design-metod (RtD) och genom skapandet av den fiktiva mensspårningsapplikationen Career Cycles, som uppmanar användare att överväga hur mensteknologier på arbetsplatsen kan och bör fungera. Detta projekt bidrar till HCI-forskning genom att visa hur en designartefakt kan engagera användare i kritisk diskussion om kvantifiering av den menstruerande kroppen, menstruationsövervakning på arbetsplatsen, och produktivitet.
