1. Using technology for real-time coordination of work : a study of work and artifact use in the everyday activities at SOS Alarm
Sammanfattning : Work in control rooms, or so-called Centers of coordination, places demands both on humans and technology. The people working there have to be able to make quick decisions as well as be alert during less busy times. The work has to be coordinated within the group, since the operators are much depending on each other's work. LÄS MER
2. Work and Technology Use in Centers of Coordination : Reflections on the relationship between situated practice and artifact design
Sammanfattning : The research problem explored in this thesis is how technology and work practice are related in coordinative situations (collocated and over distance). Further, the problem of how this kind of research results can be transformed and used in the development of new technology is discussed. LÄS MER
3. Host responses to malaria and bacterial co-infections
Sammanfattning : The two main causes of child mortality and morbidity in Africa are malaria and invasive bacterial diseases. In addition, co-infections in sub-Saharan Africa are the rule rather than the exception. However, not much is known about the host-pathogen interaction during a concomitant infection or how it affects the outcome of disease. LÄS MER
4. Makers, Materials and Machines : Understanding Experience and Situated Embodied Practice in the Makerspace
Sammanfattning : This thesis explores interaction between humans, materials, and machines, in the context of makerspaces. The concept of making describes a practice that deals with new technologies in combination with craft to create artifacts in physical, digital and hybrid forms. LÄS MER
5. Noticing nature : exploring more-than-human-centred design in urban farming
Sammanfattning : This thesis articulates, theorises and furthers the concept of “more-than-human-centred design” by studying the use and design of technology for noticing nature and caring for nature. The emerging field of more-than-human-centred design focuses on the mutual interdependence between humans and non-humans (e.g. LÄS MER
