- 2020
-
Book (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Boken du håller i är ett delresultat från projekt Vis’man som handlar om designforskning inom visuell och spatial kommunikation och management från användarens perspektiv. I projektet har vi studerat visualiseringens roll och funktion inom visuell management och de tavlor som används vid visuell ledning, planering och uppföljning och i förbättringsarbetet. Det kan vara målstyrningstavlor, Lean-tavlor, teamtavlor, styrtavlor med flera. Ett mål har varit att undersöka och utveckla tavlorna och deras omgivning tillsammans med projektdeltagarna. Dessutom har metoder för användarmedverkan tagits fram, för att olika aktörer ska tillsammans kunna undersöka, utveckla och utvärdera informationsdesign inom visuell management. Projektet har finansierats av KK-stiftelsen genom programmet HÖG. Vi som deltagit är forskare i forskargruppen Informationsdesign vid Mälardalens högskola och industriforskare från Rise i Mölndal. Projektet har utförts tillsammans med svensk tillverkningsindustri, Volvo Construction Equipment i Eskilstuna, Union Electrics Åkers, Falks Metall AB och Gårö Plåtprodukter AB. Studier har även skett tillsammans med Vård och omsorgsförvaltningen vid Eskilstuna kommun. Den här boken presenterar teorier och metoder som relaterar till visuell management, samt erfarenheter från praktiken. Boken vänder sig till dig som har viss yrkeserfarenhet av visuell management och till studenter som studerar informationsdesign, servicedesign, gränssnittsdesign, produkt- och processutveckling, ledning och styrning eller liknande områden.

THE KARAKURI CARD DECK: CO-DESIGNING INDUSTRIAL IOT CONCEPTUAL SOLUTIONS
- 2020
-
In: Proceedings of INTERNATIONAL DESIGN CONFERENCE – DESIGN 2020. - : Cambridge University Press (CUP). - 2633-7762. ; 1, s. 807-816
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Novel IoT market solutions and research promise IoT modules that do not require programming or electrical setup, yet shop floor personnel need to face problem solving activities to create technical solutions. This paper introduces the Karakuri card deck and presents a case study composed of four workshop sessions in four manufacturing settings, where shop floor personnel tested the cards as a means of ideating and presenting conceptual IoT solutions in the form of diagrams. The results indicate the validity of the proposed conceptual solutions and suggest prototyping as a next step.

TO SUPPORT IOT COLLABORATIVE EXPRESSIVENESS ON THE SHOP FLOOR
- 2021
-
In: Proceedings of the Design Society. - : Cambridge University Press (CUP). - 2732-527X. ; 1, s. 3149-3158
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The availability of new research for IoT support and the human-centric perspective of industry 4.0 opens a gap to support operators in unleashing their creativity so they can provide improvements opportunities with IoT technology. This paper presents a case-study carried out in four Swedish manufacturing companies, where four different workshops were facilitated to support operators in the conceptualization of manufacturing improvements with IoT technologies. The empirical material gathered during these workshops has been analyzed in five different reflective sessions and discussed in light of previous research from industry 4.0, operators, and IoT support. Results indicate that operators can collaboratively create conceptual IoT solutions and that expressiveness in communicating their ideas and needs using IoT technology is more relevant than technical aspects and details of their proposed IoT solutions. This technological expressiveness is identified as a necessary skill to be cultivated on the shop floor and can potentially contribute to making a more effective and socially sustainable industrial landscape in the future.

Visual awareness aiding communication
- 2020
-
In: International journal of visual design. - 2325-1581 .- 2325-159X. ; 14:2
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Visual awareness is essential to developing and implementing visualizations that meet the needs of cross-functional teams. The theoretical and practical domain of information design can potentially play a major role in such collaborative working processes by improving flows of relevant information and aiding communication between stakeholders. We argue that one way this can be achieved is by exploiting the boundary object concept, in combination with knowledge from the visual field, and recommending guidelines intended to help clients formulate requirements when planning factory layouts which, with appropriate modification, may also provide support in similar situations. Our suggested guidelines for constructing block layouts and diagrams in factory layout planning highlight the value of simple visualizations based on spatial relationships; utilizing information on available spaces, sizes of machines, and their relationships to human proportions. Such block layouts and diagrams can also be used for ergonomic planning and logistics. The visuals can act as boundary objects between various stakeholders, including those who create CAD models in VR environments.

Older Adults’ Use of a Research-Based Web Platform for Social Interaction
- 2023
-
In: Healthcare. - : MDPI AG. - 2227-9032. ; 11:3
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Loneliness and social isolation are triggers for unfavorable changes in older adults’ health and well-being. Information and communication technology (ICT) can be used by older adults to mitigate the negative effects of loneliness and social isolation. However, ICT needs to be customized to the specific needs and conditions of older adults. The aim of this study was to explore older adults’ use of a new, co-designed and research-based web platform for social interaction from the perspectives of older adults, researchers, and social services personnel. The study is an intervention study with a multimethod approach in which 20 older adults used the web platform for social interaction “the Fik@ room” for eight weeks. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected pretest, during the test, and posttest. The Fik@ room met the expectations of those older adults who completed the study. It enabled them to expand their social network and develop new friendships, but their experiences of loneliness were not reduced. The involvement of social services personnel in recruitment and support was important in facilitating older adults’ use of the Fik@ room. Our study contributes knowledge about a new, co-designed and research-based web platform, customized specifically for older adults, which is valuable in guiding the design and delivery of future web platforms for social interaction among older adults.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Social isolation and loneliness are associated with negative health outcomes, physical as well as cognitive. Information and communication technology (ICT) can be effective tools for preventing and tackling social isolation and loneliness among older people. Our objective was to evaluate the feasibility of the Fik@ room, a web platform for social interaction designed for older people. A mixed methods design was applied, where both quantitative and qualitative data were collected during a 12-week period (n = 28, Md age 74). Experiences of loneliness were reduced using the Fik@ room. The results highlight the feasibility issues surrounding the recruitment process, adoption, pattern of use, usability, support service, and technical infrastructure. In particular, the importance of offering ICT solutions with few technical issues, and to provide easily accessible and appropriate support. The Fik@ room is a feasible tool for older people to develop new friendships, reduce loneliness, and grow their social networks. However, it is not a communication option that fits all. The results offer a compilation of feasibility issues that can serve as an inspirational guide in the design and implementation of similar technologies.

In: 11th Nordic Conference of Epidemiology and Register-based Health Research(NordicEpi 2024).
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Background: To enhance the usability of existing large population-based studies in epidemiologicresearch on office workers, we developed a procedure for a proxy variable on office worker in datawith open-ended responses on occupation.Methods: Self-reported open answers on occupation (n=3738) from the LifeGene pilot study werelinked to a modified version of the Swedish Standard Classification of Occupation 2012 (SSYK12). TheSSYK12 includes 8946 job titles with 4-digit codes which were categorized to managers, white-collarand blue-collar workers. Managers and white-collar workers were used as a proxy for office workers.We then used fuzzy string matching in R to calculate the Jaro-Winkler distance between the LifeGenepilot data answers on occupation and the modified SSYK12 job titles. Zero distance indicated aperfect match, whereas distances above zero were checked manually to assess various job titles asoffice worker or non-office worker. Thereafter, the resulting procedure was applied to the wholeLifeGene study with data on occupation (n=23 525).Results: We got perfect match against the modified SSYK12 job titles for 16 275 responses (69%) inthe large LifeGene data. Another 1721 responses (7%) matched occupations that we had manuallydefined as office worker or non-office worker in the pilot data set, and the remaining 5529 (24%)were unmatched. Among the matched occupations, 15 159 (84%) were office-workers, 2493 (14%)non-office workers, and 344 (2%) nondistinctive.Conclusion: The procedure for a proxy variable on office worker allowed us to classify three quartersof the open-ended responses on occupation.
