Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Based on the ontology developed in the ongoing SUITCEYES EU-funded project to bridge visual analytics for situational awareness and navigation with semantic labelling of environmental cues, we designed a set of static and dynamic haptograms to represent concepts for two-way communication between deafblind and non-deafblind users. A haptogram corresponds to a tactile symbol drawn over a touchscreen, its dynamic nature referring to the act of writing or drawing, where the touchscreen can take several forms, including a smart textile screen designated for specific areas on the body. In its current version, our haptogram set is generated over a 4 x 4 matrix of cells and is displayed on the back of the user, tested for robustness at the receiving end. The concepts and concept sequences simulating simple questions and answers represented by haptograms are focused on ontology content for now but can be scaled up.

Modeling uncertainty in bibliometrics and information retrieval : an information fusion approach
- 2015

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- We describe ongoing research where the aim is to apply recent results from the research field of information fusion to bibliometric analysis and information retrieval. We highlight the importance of ‘uncertainty’ within information fusion and argue that this concept is crucial also for bibliometrics and information retrieval. More specifically, we elaborate on three research strategies related to uncertainty: uncertainty management methods, explanation of uncertainty and visualization of uncertainty. We exemplify our strategies to the classical problem of author name disambiguation where we show how uncertainty can be modeled explained and visualized using information fusion. We show how an information seeker can benefit from tracing increases/decreases of uncertainty in the reasoning process. We also present how such changes can be explained for the information seeker through visualization techniques, which are employed to highlight the complexity involved in the process of modeling and managing uncertainty in bibliometric analysis. Finally we argue that a further integration of information fusion approaches in the research area of bibliometrics and information retrieval may results in new and fruitful venues of research.

Interpersonal Influence in Viral Social Media: A Study of Refugee Stories on Virality
- 2017
-
Ingår i: Proceedings of the 8th International Conference on Communities and TechnologiesTable of Contents. - New York : ACM. - 9781450348546 ; , s. 183-192

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The expansion of social media use has enabled massive and rapid spreadability of content, which is often referred to as virality. Earlier studies have examined various aspects of virality such as the attributes of stories that become viral. In this on-going study we aim to make a better sense of the role of interpersonal influences in the spreadability of viral social media content. In this, we are inspired by Tarde’s views on interpersonal processes and the notion of imitation. Considering the recent mass migrations, and numerous viral stories that have related to the plight of refugees, we chose a group of Syrian refugees consisting of men and women as the participants for this study. In twelve in-depth qualitative interviews we learned about the participants’ views on viral stories as well as the way in which their interpersonal influences may play a role in their interaction with viral stories. The findings show that the views on migrant-related viral stories varied among the participants, but a common view seemed to be somewhat of scepticism about the agenda behind the spread of these stories. As part of the study, we identified four key interpersonal influences including community conversation, formative consciousness, community boundaries, and retrospective experiences. A main conclusion in the study is that although back-end technical issues, content attributes, emotions and so on may play a role in virality, still human agency, connections and interpersonal ties play a major role in shaping the process that leads to content spreadability, hence virality.

The Internet of Things and Convenience
- 2016
-
Ingår i: Internet Research. - : Emerald Group Publishing Limited. - 1066-2243. ; 26:2, s. 360-376
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore and engage with connections between the evolving technology of the Internet of Things (IoT) and notions of convenience. In particular, the concept of alpha convenience is introduced in order to articulate the broad scope of Internet “any-everything” connectivity, here called “alpha convenience.” Design/methodology/approach – The recommendations of Constructive Technology Assessment are followed in order to evaluate technology before implementation. The seven value drivers articulated by Fleisch (2010) are utilized in order to envision-specific aspects. Findings – Three critical aspects relating to alpha convenience are identified and discussed: gossiping technology, personalization and the disempowered smartphone user. It is argued that extreme forms of convenience shift traditional areas of human agency onto technology. It is also noted that alpha convenience tends to develop as ubiquitous feature of future society, making it difficult, if not impossible, to opt out. Research limitations/implications – The paper focusses on one powerful concept, although the IoT is merely one of several terms used to deliberate the role of next-generation information technology and society. Notable competitors include semantic web, ubiquitous computing, pervasive computing and ambient intelligence. Social implications – The IoT is predicted to be an intrusive feature into everyday life and the paper identifies important aspects. Originality/value – This is the first critical discussion of the IoT and convenience. The paper aims at conceptual innovation. Overall, there is a substantial lack of critical scrutiny of the emerging ideas of the IoT.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Constructive Technology Assessment (CTA) aims to involve a multitude of stakeholders in discussions involving technology. However, all technological assessment is mediated through concepts. Development of concepts regarding technology rich futures has been lively but confusing for many stakeholders. Utilizing bibliographic data from Web of Science, this article overviews and discusses ten influential concepts that have played an important role during the 2000s. It is argued that the lively and dynamic concept production leads to numerous problems for a CTA approach.

Biosensors-Publication Trends and Knowledge Domain Visualization
- 2019
-
Ingår i: Sensors. - Basel, Switzerland : MDPI. - 1424-8220. ; 19:11
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The number of scholarly publications on the topic of biosensors has increased rapidly; as a result, it is no longer easy to build an informed overview of the developments solely by manual means. Furthermore, with many new research results being continually published, it is useful to form an up-to-date understanding of the recent trends or emergent directions in the field. This paper utilizes bibliometric methods to provide an overview of the developments in the topic based on scholarly publications. The results indicate an increasing interest in the topic of biosensor(s) with newly emerging sub-topics. The US is identified as the country with highest total contribution to this area, but as a collective, EU countries top the list of total contributions. An examination of trends over the years indicates that in recent years, China-based authors have been more productive in this area. If research contribution per capita is considered, Singapore takes the top position, followed by Sweden, Switzerland and Denmark. While the number of publications on biosensors seems to have declined in recent years in the PubMed database, this is not the case in the Web of Science database. However, there remains an indication that the rate of growth in the more recent years is slowing. This paper also presents a comparison of the developments in publications on biosensors with the full set of publications in two of the main journals in the field. In more recent publications, synthetic biology, smartphone, fluorescent biosensor, and point-of-care testing are among the terms that have received more attention. The study also identifies the top authors and journals in the field, and concludes with a summary and suggestions for follow up research.

Report on Training Needs : Deliverable D7.1 - PERICLES
- 2015
-
Rapport (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- This deliverable is the first in the work package to report on the results of the assessment. Since the start the work in WP7 was done in close collaboration with the “Dissemination” and “Technology transfer” work packages (WP8 and 9) and is a part of the knowledge transfer activities formed by these three work packages. The deliverable also provides a training plan for the years 2015 and 2016. The implementation of this plan has already started with a first training workshop on automated metadata extraction and encapsulation during the IDCC conference 2015. As the training plan (see section 5) takes a central role in outlining the path for the upcoming WP activities it has been formulated in a way to allow readability even in isolation from the rest of this document.
