Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- Distributions of Earth's species are changing at accelerating rates, increasingly driven by human-mediated climate change. Such changes are already altering the composition of ecological communities, but beyond conservation of natural systems, how and why does this matter? We review evidence that climate-driven species redistribution at regional to global scales affects ecosystem functioning, human well-being, and the dynamics of climate change itself. Production of natural resources required for food security, patterns of disease transmission, and processes of carbon sequestration are all altered by changes in species distribution. Consideration of these effects of biodiversity redistribution is critical yet lacking in most mitigation and adaptation strategies, including the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals.

Games and Play SIG : Connecting Through Social and Playful Technologies
- 2023

Ingår i: CHI EA '23: Extended Abstracts of the 2023 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems. - : Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). - 9781450394222

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Games have always been popular for connecting people, from local single-player and couch co-op, to massively multiplayer online. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, remote games that involved and fostered social interactions and connections were a highlight among strategies for staying connected. For this year’s games and play SIG, we come together to discuss the relevant and timely topic of social and playful technologies, and how they can be designed to best foster meaningful social connections over a distance. We bring together attendees from not only the games community, but also those in the broader field of CHI focusing on social and playful technologies.

How to write a CHI paper (asking for a friend)

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Writing and genre conventions are extant to any scientific community, and CHI is no different. In this paper, we present the early phases of an AI tool called KITSUNE, which takes text and adapts it toward the writing conventions of a CHI paper. We describe the development of the tool with the intent to promote discussion around how writing conventions are upheld and unquestioned by the CHI community, and how this translates to the work produced. In addition, we bring up questions surrounding how the introduction of LLMs into academic writing will fundamentally change how conventions will be upheld now and in the future.

Toward a Design and Play-Focused Approach to Teaching Technical Game Design
- 2024
-
Ingår i: FDG '24: Proceedings of the 19th International Conference on the Foundations of Digital Games. - : Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). - 9798400709555

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- As of 2023, education surrounding game design has become a fixture in university education systems around the world. As the teaching of game design is an inherently interdisciplinary subject with many connections to the arts and humanities, there are a diverse range of perspectives as to what the focus of each curriculum should include. In this essay, we argue that game programs with a more technical focus should include both design and play-focused approaches embedded into the pedagogy. We present two case studies drawing from our education journeys studying games as well as our experiences teaching in both game and computer science programs, and discuss the resulting benefits of integrating these concepts into our practice.

Edu-larp @ CHI
- 2023

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Role-play has long been used as an active learning technique in educational and training contexts. In particular, Edu-larp (a structured, live action roleplay experience that teaches through social enactment and reflection [1]) has been used in therapeutic contexts, training courses, and even an entire course curriculum [4]. We propose to host a workshop at CHI 2023 which will connect CHI attendees of various disciplines interested in this topic, with the outcome to understand how edu-larp might be an effective way of augmenting existing teaching and research within HCI. During the workshop, attendees will participate in numerous edu-larp exercises designed to introduce and orient them to the concept, and facilitate discussion about the different ways edu-larp can be leveraged in the broad domain of HCI.

The European technical report on aquatic effect-based monitoring tools under the water framework directive
- 2015

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The Water Framework Directive (WFD), 2000/60/EC, requires an integrated approach to the monitoring and assessment of the quality of surface water bodies. The chemical status assessment is based on compliance with legally binding Environmental Quality Standards (EQSs) for selected chemical pollutants (priority substances) of EU-wide concern. In the context of the mandate for the period 2010 to 2012 of the subgroup Chemical Monitoring and Emerging Pollutants (CMEP) under the Common Implementation Strategy (CIS) for the WFD, a specific task was established for the elaboration of a technical report on aquatic effect-based monitoring tools. The activity was chaired by Sweden and co-chaired by Italy and progressively involved several Member States and stakeholders in an EU-wide drafting group. The main aim of this technical report was to identify potential effect-based tools (e.g. biomarkers and bioassays) that could be used in the context of the different monitoring programmes (surveillance, operational and investigative) linking chemical and ecological status assessment. The present paper summarizes the major technical contents and findings of the report.
