Fashion Technology : What Are the Limits of Emerging Technological Design Thinking?

2021

Designing intelligent technologies is a multidisciplinary process. From this perspective, fashion has continued to be an under explored dimension of technology design. While there persistently are connections between the term fashion and the clothing design industry, an historical and sociological approach to fashion reveals a much deeper and permeating understanding of the notion and its implications across the technological world. During recent popular developments, the interrelationship between fashion as a concept and technology as components and proponents of fashion – technology as fashion promoter (think of Tiktok, Instagram, Facebook and even LinkedIn for example), and technology as…

Parents' satisfaction on the quality of education and care in Qatar-Finland International School

2015

Suomalaisella koulutusjärjestelmällä on hyvä maine maailmanlaajuisesti. Sen seurauksena suomalaiseen osaamiseen kohdistuu yhä kasvava kysyntä kansainvälisillä markkinoilla ja koulutuksesta on tullut kilpailukykyinen vientituote. Suomalaista koulutusvientiä edustaa syksyllä 2014 Qatariin perustettu Qatar-Finland International School. Tämän tutkielman tarkoituksena on kartoittaa vanhempien tyytyväisyyttä koulun toiminnan laatuun. Tutkielman aineiston keräsi koulun johtoryhmä kevättalvella 2015. Aineisto kerättiin vanhemmilta kyselylomakkeella. Lomakkeessa oli strukturoituja väittämiä ja jokaisen väittämän jälkeen tila avoimelle kommentille. Määrällinen aineisto analysoitiin SPSS-ohjelmalla ja…

The use of integrals in Mechanics of Materials textbooks for engineering students: the case of the first moment of an area

2018

International audience; Research has reported on the difficulties engineering students face in relating the content of their mathematics courses to what is taught in their professional courses. One way to address these difficulties is by better understanding how mathematical notions are used in professional engineering courses. This paper analyses how the notion of first moment of an area – which is defined as an integral – is used in civil engineering courses. Basing our analysis on elements from the anthropological theory of the didactic, we are currently analysing a classic Mechanics of Materials book. Our findings indicate that although first moments are introduced as an integral, the t…

Emotional Dimensions of User Experience ? A User Psychological Analysis

2014

User psychology is a human–technology interaction research approach that uses psychological concepts, theories, and findings to structure problems of human–technology interaction. As the notion of user experience has become central in human–technology interaction research and in product development, it is necessary to investigate the user psychology of user experience. This analysis of emotional human–technology interaction is based on the psychological theory of basic emotions. Three studies, two laboratory experiments, and one field study are used to investigate the basic emotions and the emotional mind involved in user experience. The first and second experiments study the measurement of…

Trait Self-Control, Social Cognition Constructs, and Intentions: Correlational Evidence for Mediation and Moderation Effects in Diverse Health Behavi…

2019

Background: We examined effects of trait self‐control, constructs from social cognition theories, and intentions on health behaviours. Trait self‐control was expected to predict health behaviour indirectly through theory constructs and intentions. Trait self‐control was also predicted to moderate the intention–behaviour relationship. Methods: Proposed effects were tested in six datasets for ten health‐related behaviours from studies adopting prospective designs. Participants (N = 3,249) completed measures of constructs from social cognition theories and self‐control at an initial time point and self‐reported their behaviour at follow‐up. Results: Results revealed indirect effects of self‐co…

Changing people’s attitudes and beliefs toward driving through floodwaters : Evaluation of a video infographic

2018

Abstract Despite awareness of campaigns such as ‘Turn Around, Don’t Drown’ and the Australian state of Queensland’s ‘If It’s Flooded, Forget It’, people continue to drive through floodwaters, causing loss of life, risk to rescuers, and damage to vehicles. The aim of this study was to develop a video infographic that highlights the dangers of driving through floodwaters and provide safety tips to reduce the risk, and to evaluate its effectiveness in changing the beliefs and intentions of Australian adults toward this risky driving behaviour. This study adopted an online three-wave non-controlled pretest–posttest design. Australian licensed drivers (N = 201, male = 41, female = 160; Mage = 34…

From single to multi-variable Calculus: a transition?

2018

International audience; We recently used the notion of praxeology from the Anthropological Theory of the Didactic to model the knowledge that is necessary for students to learn in order to succeed in an undergraduate multivariable Calculus course. We considered the presence and absence of elements of the knowledge to be taught, as proposed by curricular documents, in the knowledge to be learned, as indicated by final exams. Our results indicate that the mathematical activities expected of students at this level align with the activities observed in differential and integral Calculus, where exercise-driven assessments set students' work mainly in the recognition of types of tasks and recolle…
