Think Smaller: Growing Small Ideas Is A Great IdeaDave Racine
The document advocates thinking smaller rather than bigger with ideas. It argues that big ideas require large budgets and efforts but often fail, while small ideas are easier to deploy. Small, unique ideas can create distinction and fuel movements. In today's competitive environment with limited resources, smaller budgets that focus tightly will be most effective for achieving maximum impact. True creativity involves developing simple solutions to complex problems. If ideas are broken down into smaller parts by removing unnecessary elements, projects can be executed better. Simplicity is the most valuable asset, so start with small ideas that can then grow bigger.
This document discusses the importance of empathy in design and provides strategies for developing empathy. It begins by critiquing traditional personas as being too rigid and not reflective of real people. It then encourages developing empathy through mindfulness, active listening, understanding emotions, and creating multi-sensory empathy maps. The document also discusses how data and technology can be used to better understand people at scale and build relationships, but that empathy does not require technology. It emphasizes that personas should evolve over time to capture the complexity of human experiences and needs.
The document discusses sensemaking as the process of understanding ambiguous situations and establishing situational awareness to make decisions. It defines sensemaking from both textbook and expert perspectives. It then discusses different contexts where sensemaking occurs, including at the individual, organizational, and societal levels. Finally, it outlines different models and methodologies for studying sensemaking, emphasizing the need to understand complex problems and situations before designing interventions.
The Triforce of UX: Empathy, Curiosity, HumilityBrandon Ward
UX Consultants are great—like design ninjas dropping in to fix all the things. But what happens when you want to take the relationship to the next level and bring design in-house? How can you tell the good candidates from the bad, and sift through the good to find the great? How do you avoid someone who looks good on paper, but won’t deliver the results you need? In this talk I’ll share the 3 core qualities I seek in every designer I hire, and how to discover if your candidates have them.
ImagineNation LAST Generating Creative Conversations Presentation Janet Sernack
A creative conversation transfers ideas from one mind to another, it also allows you to reveal and remove all obstacles in the way of making creative ideas and inventions happen. It even allows you to see opportunities, realise possibilities and easily solves real-life, personal and business problems.
It’s not that we’ve forgotten how to hold genuine conversations. The problem is much deeper. We’ve stopped learning how to hold a genuine conversation.
The good news is we can all learn it. All this ability demands is the ability to be observant, having a core skill-set and following the four key steps in the generative discovery cycle.
The user group you never knew you had ux camp 2015Hello Group
'The user group you never knew you had' is about designing for the experience of the stakeholders who sponsor either internal or external projects. As designers we immediately think of the end users but without subject matter experts, middle managers and corporate sponsors our job would be much harder. In the talk Mette Riisgaard Andresen and Henriette Hosbond describe tactics to ensure to get these key people on board in the design process. Originally shown at UX Camp Copenhagen 2015.

The document discusses how psychology and design thinking can positively impact society. It presents five key psychology concepts for applying in design: 1) Cognition, focusing on human factors and usability; 2) Emotion, emphasizing the importance of emotional engagement; 3) Perception, addressing managing change and influencing perceptions; 4) Motivation, discussing converting client views; and 5) The Future, covering trends like empathy and mindfulness. The presentation argues that for products and services to be successful, users must be able to use it, want to use it, be convinced of its value, and practitioners must understand client and user needs.
Sentiment Analysis of Social Media Content: A multi-tool for listening to you...Eirini Ntoutsi
This document discusses sentiment analysis of social media content. It begins by noting the abundance of opinion-rich resources online due to the social nature of Web 2.0. Sentiment analysis aims to automatically analyze opinions expressed in text to determine sentiment. This is challenging for social media due to informal language, short texts, and continuous new content. The document outlines challenges in building sentiment classifiers from social media data due to the need for large labeled training datasets but few available labels. It describes using emoticons and sentiment dictionaries to implicitly label some data for use in classifier training and evaluates the agreement between these labeling methods.
User Experience Doesn’t Happen on a Screen - It Happens in the Mind. Introduc...UXPA International
User experience happens in the mind, not on a screen. The document discusses an approach to understanding user experience called the "Six Minds" which are the vision/attention, wayfinding, memory, language, emotion, and decision making aspects of how users think. It describes methods like eye tracking, interviews, and observation to understand each of these areas and gain insights into the user's experience. The real-world application section then shows how these insights can be used throughout an emergent design process to develop validated prototypes that meet user needs.
The fourth way: design thinking meets futures thinking | anna roumiantseva | ...Naveen Srivatsav
The document discusses how design thinking and futures thinking methodologies can be combined to create more future-proof products and services. While design thinking focuses on solving current problems, futures thinking involves envisioning potential future scenarios to better prepare for uncertainties. The author proposes integrating some futures thinking exercises, like looking at past trends and signals of change, into the design thinking process to generate ideas that will remain relevant as user needs evolve over time. This blended approach could result in designing offerings with longer-lasting relationships with users.
The document discusses potential shortcuts organizations may take when trying to scale agility that can actually hinder their progress. It covers cognitive biases like loss aversion that can lead teams astray and preferences for familiar approaches over those that are tough but better. Cultural factors are also important to consider as what works well in one society may not translate elsewhere. Tools for understanding differences like Hofstede's cultural dimensions can help organizations apply agile principles appropriately for their context in a way that truly supports agility.
This document summarizes a presentation about using social media for nonprofits. The presentation covers:
1) Defining a "networked nonprofit" as one that leverages relationships and partnerships through social media to address complex issues.
2) The importance of developing a social culture within the organization that is open to new ideas and not afraid of losing some control.
3) Developing an effective social media strategy by aligning efforts with objectives, listening to audiences, engaging in conversations, building relationships, integrating across channels, and learning through testing.
4) Examples of how specific nonprofits have successfully used social media for outreach, fundraising, and achieving their missions.

Lukáš Třešňák: User experience research ÚISK FF UK
The document discusses user experience research conducted by a team within a large healthcare company. It provides background on lean development practices and applied sociological research methods used by the team. The team aims to deliver useful, usable solutions through research, design, and gaining an understanding of customers and target users. Key areas of focus for research are outlined as problem scope, target groups, environmental factors, and competitive analysis. The overall goal is to develop products and services that best meet customer needs.
Applying Human Centered Design to Global Health Programs_1 CORE Group
Design thinking and human-centered design focus on putting people and communities at the center of the design process to tackle complex challenges. Design thinking looks at complex issues from the perspective of users and is a way of thinking, while human-centered design provides processes and techniques to apply design thinking. It involves exploratory research to build understanding, brings together diverse perspectives, and prototypes and iterates to refine solutions. Design thinking can be applied at the system, program, and product levels.
This letter transmits a report on design thinking to aspiring entrepreneurs and college graduates. The author chose to research design thinking as an aspiring engineer and problem solver. The attached report provides an overview of design thinking as a problem-solving method and argues it is the best existing approach. The author recommends the report for anyone interested in entrepreneurship or problem solving in their career. The report will educate readers on design thinking and why it is important for solving problems in business and society.
This document outlines the process and activities for a challenge to develop solutions that create impact. It involves defining problems, ideating concepts, testing feasibility, and delivering solutions through converging and diverging phases. Participants are guided to define target users, partners, and scope of impact. The process focuses on understanding needs, benefits, resources, and touchpoints through user research. It aims to develop solutions in collaboration with partners and users to maximize real-world impact.
This document summarizes a workshop on networked nonprofits and social media. It discusses introducing participants and an icebreaker activity. The rest of the workshop focuses on defining a networked nonprofit as one that collaborates using social media rather than operating independently. It explores how social media can spread an organization's mission if employees openly engage online. Examples from Kenya show how social media captures community events and brings positive attention. The workshop emphasizes being transparent and engaging with communities online as opposed to maintaining a closed "fortress" approach.
IESEG (Lille) - 'Contemporary Market Research Management & Techniques'Tom De Ruyck
The document discusses new approaches to market research using social media and observational techniques. It argues that traditional survey and focus group methods need to change to better understand contemporary consumers who are empowered, cosmopolitan, co-creators and emotional. New techniques discussed include online discussion groups, bulletin boards, research communities, and observational research using natural data sources rather than traditional interviews.
Qualitative Datacollection on Social Media and SelfpresentationMartine Gjede
This document summarizes Martine Gjede's qualitative research on social media self-presentation and context collapse. Her thesis examined how private individuals experience context collapse on Facebook and the consequences for their behavior. She defined context collapse and discussed challenges in collecting qualitative Facebook data. Her method involved asking open-ended questions on Facebook to gather user perspectives on networking, privacy, and performance of self.
Semira Rahemtulla led a communication workshop focused on effective feedback and building psychological safety. She discussed models for understanding intentions, impacts, and behaviors in communication. Rahemtulla emphasized giving feedback focused on observable behaviors and their impact, and asking for the other perspective. Examples were provided for giving both constructive criticism and compliments. Creating a culture of appreciation through self-disclosure and managing defensiveness when receiving feedback were also covered.

"Your Health App may be Illegal" IEEE 3 Feb 2021, ManionSean Manion PhD
This document discusses some of the key ethical issues related to the use of artificial intelligence and blockchain in healthcare. It outlines principles of ethics like autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice. It also examines specific ethical issues for AI like consent, data privacy, bias and fairness, transparency, and safety. For blockchain, it looks at issues like job loss, wealth creation, and potential to facilitate crime or be overhyped. The document advocates that regulatory frameworks may need to be developed to provide oversight of AI systems, such as through institutional review boards, to help address ethical challenges.
Researchers and data safety monitoring boards currently provide oversight of research data and evidence. However, future projects aim to utilize blockchain and other technologies to establish more transparent, verifiable, and crowd-sourced methods of ensuring data integrity, conducting peer review of datasets and evidence, and developing clinical practice guidelines. These include initiatives from ConsenSys Health, Intel, Dell, Microsoft, and others to create decentralized data marketplaces and fabrics for verifying research artifacts.

Blockchain and Patient-Centered Outcomes Measures - GoldwaterSean Manion PhD
Blockchain has the potential to transform how patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are developed and used. By decentralizing clinical data collection and giving patients control over their personal health information, blockchain addresses current challenges in PROMs around representation, participation, and data integration. Quantified data streams from smartphones and other devices could provide real-time, patient-centered insights to develop more relevant PROMs and measure treatment effectiveness. A blockchain-based system is proposed where patients use apps to collect health data, which builds an immutable record of progress that is validated by patients and providers and can be used to refine PROMs over time through feedback.

The document summarizes key ideas from Carl Jung, Martin Heidegger, and Jane Bennett regarding technology and its impact on society and the self. Carl Jung saw technology leading to self-destruction if not balanced by consciousness. Martin Heidegger viewed modern technology as destructive but believed humans could influence their relationship to it through questioning and creativity. Jane Bennett analyzed things as empowered "actants" within complex systems, rejecting the notion that humans are the sole agents of change. The short story "Byzantine Empathy" explores these themes through an activist using virtual reality to promote empathy and humanitarian funding.

The use of Nauplii and metanauplii artemia in aquaculture (brine shrimp).pptxMAGOTI ERNEST
Although Artemia has been known to man for centuries, its use as a food for the culture of larval organisms apparently began only in the 1930s, when several investigators found that it made an excellent food for newly hatched fish larvae (Litvinenko et al., 2023). As aquaculture developed in the 1960s and ‘70s, the use of Artemia also became more widespread, due both to its convenience and to its nutritional value for larval organisms (Arenas-Pardo et al., 2024). The fact that Artemia dormant cysts can be stored for long periods in cans, and then used as an off-the-shelf food requiring only 24 h of incubation makes them the most convenient, least labor-intensive, live food available for aquaculture (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021). The nutritional value of Artemia, especially for marine organisms, is not constant, but varies both geographically and temporally. During the last decade, however, both the causes of Artemia nutritional variability and methods to improve poorquality Artemia have been identified (Loufi et al., 2024).
Brine shrimp (Artemia spp.) are used in marine aquaculture worldwide. Annually, more than 2,000 metric tons of dry cysts are used for cultivation of fish, crustacean, and shellfish larva. Brine shrimp are important to aquaculture because newly hatched brine shrimp nauplii (larvae) provide a food source for many fish fry (Mozanzadeh et al., 2021). Culture and harvesting of brine shrimp eggs represents another aspect of the aquaculture industry. Nauplii and metanauplii of Artemia, commonly known as brine shrimp, play a crucial role in aquaculture due to their nutritional value and suitability as live feed for many aquatic species, particularly in larval stages (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021).
The ability to recreate computational results with minimal effort and actionable metrics provides a solid foundation for scientific research and software development. When people can replicate an analysis at the touch of a button using open-source software, open data, and methods to assess and compare proposals, it significantly eases verification of results, engagement with a diverse range of contributors, and progress. However, we have yet to fully achieve this; there are still many sociotechnical frictions.
Inspired by David Donoho's vision, this talk aims to revisit the three crucial pillars of frictionless reproducibility (data sharing, code sharing, and competitive challenges) with the perspective of deep software variability.
Our observation is that multiple layers — hardware, operating systems, third-party libraries, software versions, input data, compile-time options, and parameters — are subject to variability that exacerbates frictions but is also essential for achieving robust, generalizable results and fostering innovation. I will first review the literature, providing evidence of how the complex variability interactions across these layers affect qualitative and quantitative software properties, thereby complicating the reproduction and replication of scientific studies in various fields.
I will then present some software engineering and AI techniques that can support the strategic exploration of variability spaces. These include the use of abstractions and models (e.g., feature models), sampling strategies (e.g., uniform, random), cost-effective measurements (e.g., incremental build of software configurations), and dimensionality reduction methods (e.g., transfer learning, feature selection, software debloating).
I will finally argue that deep variability is both the problem and solution of frictionless reproducibility, calling the software science community to develop new methods and tools to manage variability and foster reproducibility in software systems.

ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptxPRIYANKA PATEL
With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.
Unlocking the mysteries of reproduction: Exploring fecundity and gonadosomati...AbdullaAlAsif1
The pygmy halfbeak Dermogenys colletei, is known for its viviparous nature, this presents an intriguing case of relatively low fecundity, raising questions about potential compensatory reproductive strategies employed by this species. Our study delves into the examination of fecundity and the Gonadosomatic Index (GSI) in the Pygmy Halfbeak, D. colletei (Meisner, 2001), an intriguing viviparous fish indigenous to Sarawak, Borneo. We hypothesize that the Pygmy halfbeak, D. colletei, may exhibit unique reproductive adaptations to offset its low fecundity, thus enhancing its survival and fitness. To address this, we conducted a comprehensive study utilizing 28 mature female specimens of D. colletei, carefully measuring fecundity and GSI to shed light on the reproductive adaptations of this species. Our findings reveal that D. colletei indeed exhibits low fecundity, with a mean of 16.76 ± 2.01, and a mean GSI of 12.83 ± 1.27, providing crucial insights into the reproductive mechanisms at play in this species. These results underscore the existence of unique reproductive strategies in D. colletei, enabling its adaptation and persistence in Borneo's diverse aquatic ecosystems, and call for further ecological research to elucidate these mechanisms. This study lends to a better understanding of viviparous fish in Borneo and contributes to the broader field of aquatic ecology, enhancing our knowledge of species adaptations to unique ecological challenges.
When I was asked to give a companion lecture in support of ‘The Philosophy of Science’ (https://shorturl.at/4pUXz) I decided not to walk through the detail of the many methodologies in order of use. Instead, I chose to employ a long standing, and ongoing, scientific development as an exemplar. And so, I chose the ever evolving story of Thermodynamics as a scientific investigation at its best.
Conducted over a period of >200 years, Thermodynamics R&D, and application, benefitted from the highest levels of professionalism, collaboration, and technical thoroughness. New layers of application, methodology, and practice were made possible by the progressive advance of technology. In turn, this has seen measurement and modelling accuracy continually improved at a micro and macro level.
Perhaps most importantly, Thermodynamics rapidly became a primary tool in the advance of applied science/engineering/technology, spanning micro-tech, to aerospace and cosmology. I can think of no better a story to illustrate the breadth of scientific methodologies and applications at their best.
Describing and Interpreting an Immersive Learning Case with the Immersion Cub...Leonel Morgado
Current descriptions of immersive learning cases are often difficult or impossible to compare. This is due to a myriad of different options on what details to include, which aspects are relevant, and on the descriptive approaches employed. Also, these aspects often combine very specific details with more general guidelines or indicate intents and rationales without clarifying their implementation. In this paper we provide a method to describe immersive learning cases that is structured to enable comparisons, yet flexible enough to allow researchers and practitioners to decide which aspects to include. This method leverages a taxonomy that classifies educational aspects at three levels (uses, practices, and strategies) and then utilizes two frameworks, the Immersive Learning Brain and the Immersion Cube, to enable a structured description and interpretation of immersive learning cases. The method is then demonstrated on a published immersive learning case on training for wind turbine maintenance using virtual reality. Applying the method results in a structured artifact, the Immersive Learning Case Sheet, that tags the case with its proximal uses, practices, and strategies, and refines the free text case description to ensure that matching details are included. This contribution is thus a case description method in support of future comparative research of immersive learning cases. We then discuss how the resulting description and interpretation can be leveraged to change immersion learning cases, by enriching them (considering low-effort changes or additions) or innovating (exploring more challenging avenues of transformation). The method holds significant promise to support better-grounded research in immersive learning.
