Impacts of Touch Screen Size, User Interface Design, and Subtask Boundaries on In-Car Task's Visual Demand and Driver Distraction
2020
Visual distraction by secondary in-car tasks is a major contributing factor in traffic incidents. In-car user interface design may mitigate these negative effects but to accomplish this, design factors’ visual distraction potential should be better understood. The effects of touch screen size, user interface design, and subtask boundaries on in-car task's visual demand and visual distraction potential were studied in two driving simulator experiments with 48 participants. Multilevel modeling was utilized to control the visual demands of driving and individual differences on in-car glance durations. The 2.5” larger touch screen slightly decreased the in-car glance durations and had a diminis…
Perceived status and value
2017
This article examines how students in a multidisciplinary project-based learning course involving real customers perceive their interactions with their customers. The authors conducted a qualitative study and analysed students’ learning reports by means of a thematic network analysis. The analysis shows how students perceive their status in relation to their customers and how their perceptions of their work affect how they see the value of the projects. The authors consider their empirical findings in the context of the existing literature on university–industry collaboration and thereby summarize different scenarios of the contrasting working practices and priorities in academia and indus…
Hothousing: Utilising industry collaborative problem-solving practices for STEAM in schools
2022
Collaborative problem solving (CPS) has been widely used in both industry and in schools over at least the last twenty years. The Industry Hothousing variant of CPS in its adult format is an intensive, time-constrained workshop based process designed to build mutual trust between customers and industry experts in order to synergically develop creative solutions together. Its potential use in schools raises two important questions: Firstly, what degree of structure and support is required to unleash student creativity and enhance learning - as in industry or does the student need more structured methods including explicitly being taught collaborative problem solving skills? Secondly, is CPS …
System wczesnego ostrzegania w zarządzaniu projektami jako narzędzie wspomagania osiągania sukcesu projektu
2020
Celem artykułu jest zaprezentowanie istoty systemów wczesnego ostrzegania w zarządzaniu projektami w kontekście osiągania celów projektów. Potrzeba stosowania narzędzi wczesnego ostrzegania w zarządzaniu projektami ma uzasadnienie przede wszystkim w fakcie, że z reguły (pomijając zdarzenia nadzwyczajne) przedsiębiorstwa wykazują objawy sytuacji kryzysowych w realizacji podejmowanych projektów na długo przedtem zanim dojdzie do niepowodzenia projektu. Wczesne zidentyfikowanie sygnałów zbliżającego się kryzysu powinno być zatem jednym z podstawowych zadań w zarządzaniu projektami. W artykule omówiono rolę systemu wczesnego ostrzegania oraz jego funkcje. Wskazano na zastosowania systemów wczes…
A Comparative Eye Tracking Study of Usability—Towards Sustainable Web Design
2021
Websites are one of the most frequently used communication environments, and creating sustainable web designs should be an objective for all companies. Ensuring high usability is proving to be one of the main contributors to sustainable web design, reducing usage time, eliminating frustration and increasing satisfaction and retention. The present paper studies the usability of different website landing pages, seeking to identify the elements, structures and designs that increase usability. The study analyzed the behavior of 22 participants during their interaction with five different landing pages while they performed three tasks on the webpage and freely viewed each page for one minute. Th…
Sbateyl.org: A Virtual Space for Effective Language Training
2016
AbstractThe paper presents an ongoing European cross-institutional project on teaching young language learners whose aim is to develop a web-based in-service teacher education programme with a school-based follow-up component. The main focus of the project is to bring researchers and teachers together to establish an innovative professional procedure blending theory and practice. Based on the strategic partnership between one local university and one primary school from each participant country, the project aims to foster the professional advancement and teaching practices of primary school teachers. The article initially outlines the main theoretical and methodological issues in the field …
La progettazione di interventi per il benessere individuale e di comunità
2022
I progetti di intervento in ambito sociale e psicologico prevedono azioni volte a creare una rete non solo tra istituzioni e supporto informale, ma anche un'opportunità di cambiamento per i beneficiari. In tal senso, nel 2020, 6 giovani dei Servizi della Giustizia Minorile di Palermo hanno par-tecipato ad un progetto ottenendo un'opportunità di cambiamento attraverso la promozione del benessere, sia come individui sia come membri di una comunità. In generale, tali interventi consistono nel sostenere le categorie sociali e gli individui più vulnerabili. L'adozione dello sport acquatico è una metodologia valida, poiché si basa sulla condivisione di norme oltre che sulla responsabilità individ…
Uncover : Aiap women in design Award : AWDA 3-4
2022
UNCOVER è un progetto polifonico che descrive le proposte di studentesse, professioniste e ricercatrici selezionate nella terza e quarta edizione del premio Aiap Women in Design Award e insieme raccoglie riflessioni teoriche, che affrontano attraverso la lente del design i temi dei diritti e del lavoro femminile, e più in generale delle disparità in ogni ambito. Ai saggi e ai progetti visuali si affiancano le interviste con persone impegnate nei più svariati campi – economia, comunicazione, giornalismo, politica, formazione, arte, volontariato, istituzioni. Un volume non convenzionale, che prova a “scoprire” non solo progetti di comunicazione visiva da ogni parte del mondo, ma anche sto…
La organización del trabajo por proyectos: La fábrica de la precariedad laboral
2019
The project-based organization, considered as a radical reorganization of work around one or more simultaneous projects, is nowadays widespread in large companies and public administrations. According to the managerial way of thinking, this system would be virtuous: by giving more autonomy to the employees in the act of production and by developing their skills through mobility and interdisciplinarity of work teams, it would be able to arouse their full commitment. This study confirms in some way how this opinion has been imposed, but at the expense of precarious working conditions, increasing the dedication of employees and silencing any form of criticism. The research is based on a review…
Mental health promotion competencies in the health sector based on a Delphi study
2018
Purpose Effective public mental health policy and practice call for a trained workforce that is competent in mental health promotion and delivering on improved mental health. Systematic information on what competencies are needed for mental health promotion practice in the health sector is lacking. The purpose of this paper is to investigate these competencies for mental health promotion. Design/methodology/approach A Delphi survey was carried out to facilitate a consensus-building process on development of the competencies. Professionals (n=32) working in mental health and mental health promotion took part in the survey. The experts were asked their professional views on the needed compet…
