Criterion research summary
The document discusses observations about a modern family's use of entertainment technology. It notes that technology is dispersed throughout the home and used in different locations by different family members at different times. Insights include that dispersed technology exposes values of ownership and control, increases the need for digital security like for family photos, and leads to clutter since technology lacks a specific location. The document proposes that a solution should enhance family interaction with dispersed technology, provide secure digital storage, and intuitively accommodate dispersed technology in a clutter-free way.

Techniques and artifacts
This document discusses three techniques and artifacts in photography: depth of field, shutter speed, and film grain/digital noise. Depth of field refers to the area of an image that appears in focus, while shutter speed is the length of time the camera shutter is open. Film grain and digital noise appear as spots or lines on an image and can be caused by various factors like scratches or added manually in photo editing software.
Basic Any Where Reboot short
This presentation introduces RoomWare/AnyWhere, an open source project that connects people to physical spaces using RFID tags, mobile devices, and networked hardware. The system allows users to bookmark locations, access location-based services and information, and interact with spaces through lighting, screens and other devices. It aims to make buildings more conscious and living by adapting to users' tastes, moods, proximity and connecting them with other people and content in the space. While concerns about privacy exist with such systems, the presenters argue they can enrich experiences and interactions if implemented carefully with user consent and control over their own data.

Why Sprint Zero Sucks
For all of Agile’s strengths, it’s not inherently a user centered method. We’re challenged to find ways to integrate UX into agile development, and the Design Sprint or Sprint Zero has become an accepted way to do this.
But Sprint Zero isn’t the solution. It’s a workaround. It makes design a different kind of sprint, and silos UX away from the work of the “real” team. This isn’t even an agile way to work, and it’s not the best route to designing excellent user experiences.
We need a revolution. We need to incorporate user centered design into the work of everyone on an agile team.
IA Language Critique IAS16 Surla
How can we tell good Information Architecture from bad? What can we use to evaluate our work and persuade coworkers and clients that it’s good – or to pivot if it’s bad? More than this, what tools will help us understand how well we’re practicing and teaching IA overall, and help us develop IA as a discipline?
Information architecture needs a framework for addressing how we think about and improve our field at multiple levels. We need a language of critique. This talk introduces audience members a movement currently underway to develop a robust framework for IA critique.
The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly: A Language of Critique for Information Archi...
Information architecture is more than wireframes. But we’re confined by the mindset that thinks IA is a box to check off on a project plan. A language of critique is going to help change this discourse.
So what’s a language of critique for IA? And what’s wrong with whatever we’re using now?
Design Doing: Creating a Digital Practice
This Ignite! talk is a practical case study that takes its lessons from how my company is transforming our service delivery and, incidentally, creating a fantastic way to work. It walks through the key conceptual and practical aspects of bringing “design doing” into a consultancy setting. Results so far include new processes, new and participatory types of client and team engagement (such as the project Hack Day and Innovation Mining), and wider adoption of tools for design thinking (like Journey Mapping, Business Origami, and Content Modeling). The point of the session is to deliver beautiful ideas, some familiar, some new, in a down-to-earth package that practitioners, managers, and business owners can adapt to fit their own situations.
Ux Local Groups
Local user experience groups are important for professionals who often work in isolation. They provide opportunities for regular social and intellectual contact with peers, help validate work and ideas, and cultivate new ideas through volunteer projects and networking. Successful local UX groups involve volunteer leadership to manage projects and events, keep activities fun and meaningful, and celebrate accomplishments to maintain momentum. This document provides tips and strategies for starting and maintaining a local UX group.
Employee Recruitment through Second Life
Second Life is an online virtual world where users can socialize, play games, and interact. The document discusses how businesses are using Second Life for recruitment by setting up virtual offices and hosting job fairs. Recruiters see Second Life as a way to reach tech-savvy job candidates. Several large companies like IBM, eBay, and Microsoft have a presence in Second Life for recruitment purposes. While recruitment in Second Life has advantages like lower costs, some downsides are the learning curve for new users and the need for recruiters to maintain an active virtual presence.
Starting IA Locals and Bringing IA to Work
The document provides guidance on starting IA (Integral Action) local groups and fostering IA in the workplace. It discusses challenges and opportunities for both IA locals and IA at work. It offers tips on the philosophical approach, practical matters, logistics, and resources for starting an IA local group. The goal is to help readers create IA-friendly environments and networks for learning, sharing, and practicing IA.
Leading Successful Volunteer Projects
Leader = Servant
Volunteers get more than they give by contributing their expertise to projects and being recognized for their work.
The key to successful volunteer projects is for leaders to provide infrastructure like communication plans and tasks, trust volunteers, celebrate accomplishments, and ensure the goal is achieved even if it changes along the way.

Fabular Frames and the Four Ratio Problem
Digital, interactive art showing the struggle of a society in providing for its present population while also saving planetary resources for future generations. Spread across several frames, the art is actually the rendering of real and speculative data. The stereographic projections change shape in response to prompts and provocations. Visitors interact with the model through speculative statements about how to increase savings across communities, regions, ecosystems and environments. Their fabulations combined with random noise, i.e. factors beyond control, have a dramatic effect on the societal transition. Things get better. Things get worse. The aim is to give visitors a new grasp and feel of the ongoing struggles in democracies around the world.
Stunning art in the small multiples format brings out the spatiotemporal nature of societal transitions, against backdrop issues such as energy, housing, waste, farmland and forest. In each frame we see hopeful and frightful interplays between spending and saving. Problems emerge when one of the two parts of the existential anaglyph rapidly shrinks like Arctic ice, as factors cross thresholds. Ecological wealth and intergenerational equity areFour at stake. Not enough spending could mean economic stress, social unrest and political conflict. Not enough saving and there will be climate breakdown and ‘bankruptcy’. So where does speculative design start and the gambling and betting end? Behind each fabular frame is a four ratio problem. Each ratio reflects the level of sacrifice and self-restraint a society is willing to accept, against promises of prosperity and freedom. Some values seem to stabilise a frame while others cause collapse. Get the ratios right and we can have it all. Get them wrong and things get more desperate.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.Tdasx: In-Depth Analysis of Cryptocurrency Giveaway Scams and Security Strate...

二、回国进私企、外企、自己做生意的情况，这些单位是不查询毕业证真伪的，而且国内没有渠道去查询国外文凭的真假，也不需要提供真实教育部认证。鉴于此，办理一份毕业证【微信：A575476】即可
