When Is an Affordance? Outlining Four Stances

2016

Part 3: Exploring Affect and Affordance; International audience; Affordance has emerged as a core concept in information systems (IS) research during the last decade. This relational concept is applied to understand and theorize the relationship between the social and the technical. In the works of the concept originator James Gibson, the relation was mainly portrayed as an ever-existing fact between the natural environment and an animal. In contrast, IS research focuses on relationships in-the-making between artificial things and human beings. In the IS context, we have identified vagueness in temporal and relational ontology: when do affordances exist and between whom or what? In this pap…

Emotional Design: Discovering Emotions Across Cars’ Morphologies

2020

The primary focus behind the overall design involves shifting from a designer-centric concept to a user-centric one. In essence, cars are utilitarian from an engineering point of view and symbolic-emotional from a social point of view. The modern car retains a strong social position and also generates vivid emotions. The tellability of a car is the priority when communicating with a customer. As a result, this paper proposes a computational approach towards studying the relationship between car morphology and the aforementioned produced emotions. Emotions are considered self-measurable and physiologically distinct. Each car is thus self-evaluated emotionally by a panel of potential users. T…

Making sense of crises: the implications of information asymmetries for resilience and social justice in disaster-ridden communities

Intérêt d’outils digitaux dans le maintien d’un parcours de soins obésité dans le contexte épidémique Covid-19. Retour de l’expérimentation article 5…

2021

L’épidémie de Covid-19, au-delà de mettre en évidence l’obésité comme facteur pronostique important, modifie grandement la prise en charge de cette maladie chronique. L’expérimentation article 51 Espace médical nutrition et obésité (EMNO) a dû intégrer des outils numériques pour maintenir les parcours de soins. Cette démarche a également été enrichie par l’apport d’un outil d’éducation thérapeutique digital. L’ensemble du processus de prise en charge a ainsi été réalisé malgré la situation, avec un retour très positif des patients inclus dans l’expérimentation. En contexte épidémique, le maintien des parcours de soins d’une maladie chronique comme l’obésité peut ainsi être assuré avec l’app…

2020

The Covid-19 pandemic has introduced challenges throughout the world and is endangering people’s prosperity. To these health, economic, political, and social challenges have been added those related to the management and dissemination of information, mainly concerning its exponential growth, veracity, and dissemination. Providing objective evidence-based information contributes to meeting these challenges. Social media and social networks are playing a key role in informing society about the evolution of the pandemic and progress towards its eradication. However, social networks are also a vehicle for the transmission of biased or false news that can endanger people’s health. Information pr…

High-throughput sequencing for 1-methyladenosine (m1A) mapping in RNA

2016

Abstract Detection and mapping of modified nucleotides in RNAs is a difficult and laborious task. Several physico-chemical approaches based on differential properties of modified nucleotides can be used, however, most of these methods do not allow high-throughput analysis. Here we describe in details a method for mapping of rather common 1-methyladenosine (m1A) residues using high-throughput next generation sequencing (NGS). Since m1A residues block primer extension during reverse transcription (RT), the accumulation of abortive products as well as the nucleotide misincorporation can be detected in the sequencing data. The described library preparation protocol allows to capture both types …
