Effets de quartier, effet de département : discrimination liée au lieu de résidence et accès à l'emploi
2013
L’objet de cette étude est de mesurer la discrimination à l’embauche à l’encontre des jeunes en Ile-de-France en raison du lieu de résidence en considérant plusieurs échelles spatiales de façon à distinguer l’effet de la réputation du département (Paris et la Seine-Saint-Denis), celui de la localité et celui du quartier. L’évaluation est réalisée sur données expérimentales auto-construites de testing selon un protocole permettant d’examiner les effets propres à chacune de ces trois échelles sur l’accès à l’emploi ainsi que leurs effets cumulés. On s’intéresse aux discriminations pour deux professions en tension du secteur de la restauration pour laquelle les discriminations devraient a prio…
A quick review of ethics, design thinking, gender, and AI development
2022
Ethics, artificial intelligence (AI), and design thinking are current buzz words. The threat of bias-riddled machine learning algorithms is represented media-wide. Research and development initiatives are endeavoring to ‘translate’ ethics into processes and machine logic and design thinking as a method is adopted to gauge the interests and values of a vast range of stakeholders. Gender, its framing, reflection, and critical evaluation in relation to design thinking as a means for developing ethical AI appear to be less represented in scholarly discourse. Against a background of critical theory and gender studies that describe and problematize gender, its construction and norms in socio-tech…
Human Research in Technology Design
2021
Modern technology design processes in intelligent societies are different from the classic electromechanical technology design processes. Future technology design must be based as much on human research as on natural scientific thinking. Today one can find technologies such as social media applications which are created with minimal technical effort. Thus, understanding the human dimension of technologies is becoming much more important today than in the time of electromechanical technologies. The change in focus motivates to pay attention to the foundational differences between natural science and human research in technology design. The differences between the two traditions have been dis…
Development of an Agile Requirements Risk Prioritization Method : A Design Science Research Study
2023
The practice of information systems development (ISD) has changed during the past two decades from very structured approaches to agile ISD methods. However, many methods available for managing requirements-related risks in the literature follow the structured way of doing ISD. If any, few methods offer solutions to prioritize requirements risks for agile ISD projects based on recognizing requirements-related risks and patterns to mitigate these. To fill this gap in the literature, we apply the design science research methodology to develop an agile requirements risk prioritization method together with industry experts (n=54) in Finland and New Zealand in a multi-year study. The method was d…
Affective Mimetics, Emotional Information Space, and Metaverse
2021
Current technology design pursues applying human-like features to AI technologies. These attempts have faced many challenges due to the essential complexities of the human mind. Cognitive mimetics is a design approach to mimic human information processes in designing intelligent technologies. The focus is on mimicking cognition, human knowledge structures, and represented mental information contents which addresses a fundamental issue in technology design. However, cognition is one aspect of information processing in the human mind. Affective information processing also plays an essential role in addressing the meaningfulness of cognitive processes. This paper discusses affective mimetics (…
Empathy in Technology Design and Graffiti
2021
This paper discusses empathic understanding, what it means, and how it can be acquired. After an overview of some theories and models from the existing literature, two experiments are presented, where participants were assessing graffiti works. From the results of these experiments, it can be concluded that empathic understanding involves both embodied processes and abstract inferences. Furthermore, understanding can be based on perceived, mechanistic bodily similarities and movements or on folk-psychological inferences mentalized between the observer/empathizer and an object/empathized. Empathic understanding it can also be gained by recognizing and implementing learned bodily skills and c…
Innovative, Translucent and Multi-functional Components for the Building Envelope: technological and performance optimization
2017
The paper describes the actions aimed at the technology and performance optimization of an innovative, multi-functional building component made of precast and pre-stressed glass blocks useful for the construction of sustainable building envelopes able to reduce the energy consumption and to produce clean energy from the sun. The design optimization of different sub-components and the choice of the right materials for guaranteeing their good response in terms of mechanical resistance, thermal and acoustic insulation, light transmission, electricity production, integration with other components, dimensional coordination, are particularly described.
Cambio de percepción de los niños de preescolar sobre su ambiente, mediante una intervención educativa con enfoque local.
2015
La investigación se desarrolla con 300 infantes de doce centros escolares de preescolar en cinco comunidades aledañas a los Manglares y Humedales de Tuxpan. El objetivo fue determinar si una intervención educativa cambia la percepción sobre su medio. Se realiza un diagnóstico solicitando a los pequeños que elaboraran un dibujo bajo el título ¿Cómo es mi medio ambiente?. Se diseña e implementa una intervención educativa pertinente al contexto y alineada con el currículum Programa de Estudios 2011/ Preescolar, específicamente con el campo formativo de Exploración y Conocimiento del mundo, fomentando una actitud reflexiva sobre la importancia del aprovechamiento adecuado de los recursos natura…
DIGITAL BANKING. A CURRENT DILEMMA SOLVED THROUGH THE DESIGN THINKING METHOD
2020
More natural than analytical thinking, design thinking provides solutions to common dilemmas. Fundamentally, it is a human centered and collaborative approach. It all starts with empathy, through the help of a deep research. Furthermore, banking success resides from understanding customers, not exclusively from profits. It is necessary to figure out human thinking, the needs and desires of customers, in order to have a portfolio of appropriate products and services. This is where success comes from. Having this desideratum, the paper analyzes the characteristics of the design thinking method and the digital elements that appear in the banking sector. Certainly, the biggest challenges in the…
Focalisation sur le leadership collaboratif
2017
Des chercheurs suggerent que la gestion des defis et des changements de plus en plus nombreux ainsi que la resolution de problemes complexes en education pourraient etre facilitees par le leadership collaboratif. Ainsi, le present article vise a eclaircir le concept de leadership collaboratif et, plus precisement, ii repond aux questions suivantes : Qu'est-ce que le leadership collaboratif? Qu'est-ce que le modele TenKeys* (dix clés) propre au leadership collaboratif? De quelle facon le leader peut-il faire preuve de leadership collaboratif? Quels sont les effets du leadership collaboratif selon les recherches effectuees? Par l'entremise de ces questions, nous ferons egalement valoir que l…
