Introducing usability heuristics for mobile map applications
2013
In this paper, a set of heuristics for evaluating the usability of mobile map applications is introduced. We developed the heuristics by exploring the present generic heuristics and then forming new theory-based heuristics. Usability specialists tested the heuristics by evaluating the usability of a mobile map application with both generic and domain-specific heuristics. As a result, more usability problems were found with the proposed domain-specific heuristics. In addition, based on the evaluators’ views the initial domain-specific heuristics were further developed. We conclude by proposing domain-specific usability heuristics for evaluating the mobile map applications. peerReviewed
The microbiota of the bilio-pancreatic system: a cohort, STROBE-compliant study.
2019
Background: The gut microbiota play an essential role in protecting the host against pathogenic microorganisms by modulating immunity and regulating metabolic processes. In response to environmental factors, microbes can hugely alter their metabolism. These factors can substantially impact the host and have potential pathologic implications. Particularly pathogenic microorganisms colonizing pancreas and biliary tract tissues may be involved in chronic inflammation and cancer evolution. Purpose: To evaluate the effect of bile microbiota on survival in patients with pancreas and biliary tract disease (PBD). Patients and Methods: We investigated 152 Italian patients with cholelithiasis (CHL),…
Perceived Well-being Effects During the Implementation of a Self-tracking Technology
2016
In recent years, both individuals and the healthcare sector have become more interested to measure and improve health and well-being by using different selftracking technologies. However, the number of studies concerning the experiences that people have with these technologies is still rather limited. This study investigates the expectations and perceived short-term effects of using self-tracking technologies on users’ well-being. The focus is on the first weeks of usage i.e., the implementation phase. The study is qualitative in nature and based on thematic analysis of ten semistructured interviews. The results reveal that the perceived well-being effects of using a self-tracking technolog…
The Effects of Using a Mobile Wellness Application on Physical Activity Levels : A Four-Month Follow-Up Study Among Aged People
2020
Insufficient physical activity threatens people in older age. Thus, finding ways to support a physically active life in the older age is important. Digital wellness technologies have been presented as potential solutions, but in order for these solutions to be effective, research to gain insights on their use among aged people is needed. This study investigated how the use of a mobile wellness application for tracking physical activity affects physical activity levels among aged people. The physical activity levels were measured by using the IPAQ-E. The focus was on the first four months of use. The study was part of a research program in which groups of aged people take into use a mobile w…

Automated Testing of iOS Apps: tTap Extension for Apple UIAutomation
2015
Mobile apps tend to extend or even substitute the existing IT solutions. In the corporate world, according to the statistics, the preference is given to iOS devices. The complexity of the apps increases together with the apps quantity. This also increases the need for automated testing. In a course of the study we compare the existing test automation solutions for iOS apps and describe some extensions for Apple UIAutomation tool. We have also created our own extension called tTap that improves the existing ones and solves several issues that does not work in the clean UIAutomation. We describe the implementation details of our extension and share the practical experience of testing iOS apps…
iOS Foto Aplikācija
2016
iOS Foto aplikācija - ir projekts, kas veltīts iOS Foto aplikācijas izveidošanai. Šī aplikācija ir paredzēta cilvēkiem, kuri dod priekšroku fotoattēlu uzņemšanai ar iPhone, un grib manuāli izvēlēties atbilstošus iestatījumus katrai fotogrāfijai. Mūsdienās iPhone spēj izvelēties pareizu ekspozīciju un fokusu gandrīz vienmēr, bet vēl ir nepieciešams manuāls režīms. Šis režīms ir paredzēts mākslas fotogrāfijai vai fotografēšanai sarežģītā apgaismojumā. Ar šo aplikāciju, lietotājs var piekļūt galveniem telefonu kameras iestatījumiem, piemēram: ISO (sensora jutība), slēdža ātrums (laiks kamēr sensors būs pakļauts gaismas stariem), fokuss …
