Teymur, E. (2024)Motivation or Manipulation? Dark UX and Persuasive Elements in Mobile Game Advertisements
, Köln
[BibTeX] [Abstract] [Download PDF]As we live in the modern time and use social media, the amount of advertisements we get exposed to is increasing more and more daily (Andrews, Van Leeuwen, & Van Baaren, 2013, p. 8), the amount of mobile game ads are parallelly increasing in social media and digital landscape. These persuasive lines can cause UX (User Experience) to become a manipulative practice and turn into Dark UX, known as ”Dark Patterns” (Brignull, 2013). This thesis addresses the Dark UX patterns employed in mobile game advertising, including persuasive techniques and deception elements, and it finds out different types of Dark UX strategies in mobile game advertising. These include explicit psychological tricks and Dark UI methods incorporated within the in-game or in-app ad frameworks. These techniques are discussed concerning empiricism, with detailed descriptions of the complex maneuvers employed. The work analyzes the underlying patterns within which the dark UX elements are hidden for the content/narrative and the mobile game UI designs. The inquiry does not just identify problems but also provides critique and design ethics. By analyzing user experiences, interviews, surveys n = 125, and empirical data, the study sheds light on the immediate effectiveness of these tactics compared to their long-term effects: reduced consumer confidence, and more remarkable instances of advertising aversion. It shows a need to switch to honest, user-focused advertising approaches and friendlier UX and UI. This thesis also contributes significantly to the current discourse on digital ethics and consumer protection in an era dominated by online advertising. It underscores the necessity of perpetually updated surveillance mechanisms since digital environments and user behavior constantly change. Besides, this study calls out to the advertisers and developers of mobile games to reassess their ethics and reorganize their advertising strategies to enhance users’ rights and improve the user experience in the short and long term.

Dochow, P. (2023)Konzeption, Entwicklung und Evaluation einer Software für Community Based Innovation in ERP-Systemen
Bachelorthesis, Siegen, Germany
[BibTeX] [Abstract] [Download PDF]In dieser Arbeit soll erforscht werden, welche Anforderungen die Nutzer*innen einer ERP-Software an ein Werkzeug zur Erstellung und Diskussion von Verbesserungsvorschlägen stellen. Um dieser Frage nachzugehen, wurde zunächst ein Low-Fidelity-Prototyp entwickelt, welcher mit sechs Endnutzer*innen einer ERPSoftware evaluiert wurde. Aus diesen Ergebnissen wurde ein zweiter High-Fidelity-Prototyp entwickelt und mittels eines Gruppeninterviews evaluiert. Abschließend wurden die Ergebnisse der beiden Evaluationen ausgewertet und mit relevanter Literatur verglichen. Die qualitative Studie hat gezeigt, dass man bei der Umsetzung eines Werkzeugs zur Generierung von Innovationen viele Faktoren beachten muss. Zu diesen Faktoren zählen unter anderem die möglichst hohe Gebrauchstauglichkeit der Software, wie auch der Umgang mit den eingereichten Verbesserungsvorschlägen. Zudem konnten Erkenntnisse bezüglich der Diskussion gewonnen werden. Dazu zählte, dass man nur relevante Nutzer*innen in die Diskussion mit einbezieht, wie auch die Vorteile von Rückmeldungen seitens der Anbieter*innen. Die erhaltenen Ergebnisse zeigen, dass ein Werkzeug zur Erstellung von Verbesserungsvorschlägen viele Anforderungen erfüllen muss, damit dieses im Arbeitsalltag der Nutzer*innen tatsächlich verwendet wird.

Pinto, L. S. (2023)LUNA: HCI for Supporting Abused Women in Mexico
, Siegen, Germany
[BibTeX] [Abstract] [Download PDF]Cases of domestic violence around the globe can no longer endure at this day and age. The World Health Organization estimates one out of three women in the globe being subjected to either physical and/or sexual intimate partner violence or non-partner sexual violence in their lifetime [51]. In most Latinamerican countries, the numbers are worse. In Mexico, 43.9\% of women aged 15 years and older (19.1 million) reported being victims of intimate partner abuse over the last decades [20]. HCI seeks to tackle this problem and does so successfully in some regions of the world. For LATAM, this technological battle is full of opportunities. Women in Mexico City that suffer domestic violence seek help at LUNA, government centres dedicated to offer free services such as psychological advice, legal assistance and refuge to all women. However, as an NPO, LUNA is understaffed, underequipped and underbudgeted, making it challenging for employees, managers and directors to perform effectively. In this paper, I present a dashboard designed with a participatory approach (by including users along the whole design process) that has proven to enhance employee’s quality of service by improving the usability of their registration system. Moreover, this dashboard offers a friendlier visualisation of the victims’ data for an improved follow-up service and allows a more efficient interdisciplinary collaboration. This tool equips the LUNA director with the means to analyse their data properly as to identify patterns that will lead to better strategies and executive decisions, as well as to demand the proper budget and assistance they require. The dashboard features serve as the evidence required for policy creation in Mexico, allowing the opportunity for social change on scale. By referencing studies on Data & Bureaucracy and Gender Violence, this paper aims to add to the discussion in LATAM to tackle domestic violence through HCI.

Clausen, L. C. (2023)How to design a motivating e-learning concept for students for a social (informal) exchange of information in the digital age?
Thesis, Siegen, Germany
[BibTeX] [Abstract] [Download PDF]In recent decades e-learning is becoming increasingly important in higher education due to the rapid development of digitalisation. E-learning not only offers opportunities to reinvent and support learning but could also provide an answer to how to cope with the rapidly changing information in 21st century society. However, the focus of higher education was on face-to-face courses until March 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic required a rapid shift to e-learning. E-learning enabled students around the world to continue their studies, but also brought many new challenges for them. While formal study communication with lectures could be converted to an e-learning format, informal communication among students, which is also an essential part of the study and learning experience, suffered. This lack of communication was accompanied by a decline in student motivation and well-being. This master’s thesis investigates these e-learning problems, analyses modern e-learning approaches and technologies, and creates a concept that supports the mostly informal information exchange between students. The concept is based on the pedagogical ideas of Constructivism, Connectivism, and Adult Learning Theory. This leads to the choice of using the collective learning approaches Community of Practice, Artistic Pedagogical Technologies, Microlearning and Microtraining combined and to integrate them in the open-source platform Humhub. The concept and platform are evaluated in a small qualitative study. The results provide a starting point to create a better e-learning experience for students – not only during the COVID-19 pandemic, but also in the future as the digitalisation of higher education will continue to grow.

Specovius, O. (2023)Begegnung von Sprachbarrieren internationaler Studierender an deutschen Hochschulen – Design einer digitalen Plattform zur Rekrutierung englischsprachiger Forschungspartner:innen unter Verwendung partizipativer Designmethoden
, Siegen
[BibTeX] [Abstract] [Download PDF]Internationale Studierende werden während ihrer Studienzeit aufgrund sprachlicher Barrieren mit vergleichsweise mehr Herausforderungen konfrontiert als ihre einheimischen Kommiliton:innen. Um diesem Problem entgegenzuwirken, greifen Hochschulen auf verschiedene Methoden zurück. Viele dieser Methoden adressieren dabei jedoch meist die Unterstützung zur Aneignung einer neuen Sprache und nicht etwa, wie internationalen Studierenden während ihrer Studienzeit geholfen werden kann, wenn diese der einheimischen Sprache nicht mächtig sind, jedoch ausreichende Englischkenntnisse besitzen. Die zugrundeliegende Arbeit nimmt sich daher diesem Befund an und stellt einen technologiebasierenden Ansatz vor, der internationale Studierende bei ihren universitätsinternen Projekten helfen kann, ohne dass diese die deutsche Sprache erlernen müssen. In diesem Zusammenhang wurde im Vorfeld eine empirische Vorstudie durchgeführt, über die eruiert wurde, welche Anforderungen Endnutzer:innen an eine digitale Plattform stellen, damit sich internationale Studierende und Forschungspartner:innen begegnen können, um gemeinsam auf Englisch zu forschen. Das Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit ist es zu ergründen, wie ein User Interface Design einer digitalen Plattform gestaltet werden muss, um den Anforderungen der Endnutzer:innen gerecht zu werden. Für die Beantwortung der Forschungsfrage wurde ein partizipativer Designworkshop mit Vertreter:innen potenzieller Endnutzer:innen durchgeführt und ein Designsystem nach dem Atomic Design Ansatz entworfen. Ausgehend von den Ergebnissen des Workshops und relevanter Fachliteratur, wurde nachfolgend ein klickbarer Prototyp erstellt, der die Resultate dieser Arbeit widerspiegelt und in einer weiterführenden Forschung dazu verwendet werden kann, die Plattform programmiertechnisch umzusetzen.

Filipovic, I. (2023)Game of Participatory Research – Investigating Game-Based Learning for Participatory Research in Healthcare
, Siegen, Germany
[BibTeX] [Abstract] [Download PDF]Participatory research has been an emerging topic and has been gaining a lot of attention. Specifically, participatory research has been integral and gaining interest in the healthcare field as collaboration and public involvement has shown to improve healthcare research. Game-based learning is another topic that has been gaining a lot of interest recently. Gamebased learning has been shown to have a positive impact on education and learning, specifically in adults. However, there is not that much research into educational games for adults. This study used a mixed methods approach to investigate the benefits and limitations of using game-based learning to teach participatory research in healthcare. A pilot study was conducted to gain initial feedback from students about features that would be helpful in an educational game. After that, a game to teach participatory research in healthcare was designed. Subsequently, a main study, comprising of two surveys and interviews, was conducted to determine students‘ opinions on participatory research and game-based learning and get their feedback on the designed game. The study’s findings were analysed using a thematic analysis approach, and it was found that overall, students preferred to learn about participatory research in healthcare through playing a game rather than other traditional methods. According to the findings, students think gamebased learning is engaging and fun while still being educational and can benefit visual learners and people who may have trouble focusing on more conventional learning methods. The features of an educational game to teach participatory research in healthcare that students found essential are engaging, fun, and realistic while adding random events and ethical dilemmas to keep it as true to life and educational as possible.

de Leal, D. C. (2023)At the edge – a decolonial perspective of the digital world
Doctoral {Thesis} doi:10.25819/ubsi/10382
[BibTeX] [Abstract] [Download PDF]Some places remain on the periphery of the World System (Wallerstein, 2004), participating in it but not fully absorbed by it. However, it is argued that there is almost no place in the planet in the 21st century left untouched by global capitalism (Moore, 2016; Moore, 2017). This dissertation delves into the economic life of two pericapitalist (Tsing, 2015b) community in the Amazon rainforest. One is a traditional rural village in the Brazilian Amazon region, caught between tradition on the one hand and modernity, coloniality and development on the other. The other is a community of former members of the Colombian guerrilla group Armed Revolutionary Forces of Colombia – Popular Army (FARC-EP), who are faced with the difficult task of building a new economic, political and social life for themselves after the peace agreement, and build relations with the modern world system they have formerly been in armed rebellion against. Through ehtnographic inquiries into the practices of the community members, the dissertation details how these two distinct rural Latin American communities meet the spread of the capitalist world system and manage their positions in relation to it. It pays special attention to the role of digital technologies, like mobile phones and internet, in these processes. To make sense of the practices of these communities, it engages with conceptual and analytical tools and theories that attempt to explain the global situation, including decolonial theory and the concept of coloniality/modernity, Immanuel Wallerstein’s World System Analysis, and Anna Tsing’s concept of Pericapitalism. I aim to describe what can be done about this global condition that decolonial writers address, by combining these ideas with ethnographic description, and outline specifically what it means for the interventions of HCI activists-scholars and designers. The contribution of the thesis is as follows: Firstly, it provides a detailed analysis of the material practices of two communities at the edge of capitalism. These include a wide variety of economic practices, but also political and social practices. Secondly, it draws attention to the heterogeneous nature of responses to global capitalism, formed from the relationship between specific material practices, new technology and elements of cultural identity. Through the different practices, community members manage to keep their distance from aspects of the World System and globalised capitalism, even resist it, but seek closeness in other moments. Thirdly, building on my ethnographic study and my engagement with the concepts mentioned above, my thesis makes several conceptual contributions, appropriating existing concepts, which include a) the idea of counter-appropriation as a means to describe the practices of FARC-EP members to evade the appropriation of digital technologies against them by the national Colombian army, b) it builds on the idea of social capital to describe how how communities deal with the economic pressures of development (in the Brazilian case) and re-integration into mainstream modern/colonial society (in the Colombian case), and the supportive role of digital media, and c) it addresses lacunae in WSA and decolonial thinking by describing how colonliality/modernity and global capitalism actually spread and encountered by local specific communities, highlighting also the notion of resistance, which especially Wallerstein underplays. Fourthly, it argues for an increased sensibility towards these different relations to capitalism when considering design implications. Consequently, it indicates the need to investigate the economic assumptions contained in HCI initiatives, as well as inside ourselves as HCI researchers, as they might clash with the different ways in which local communities wish to relate to global systems. It argues that close attention to material practice goes some way towards resolving those tensions and, further, provides for an appeal to a more pluralistic views of culture and development (Escobar, 2018).

To make sense of the practices of these communities, it engages with conceptual and analytical tools and theories that attempt to explain the global situation, including decolonial theory and the concept of coloniality/modernity, Immanuel Wallerstein’s World System Analysis, and Anna Tsing’s concept of Pericapitalism. I aim to describe what can be done about this global condition that decolonial writers address, by combining these ideas with ethnographic description, and outline specifically what it means for the interventions of HCI activists-scholars and designers. The contribution of the thesis is as follows: Firstly, it provides a detailed analysis of the material practices of two communities at the edge of capitalism. These include a wide variety of economic practices, but also political and social practices. Secondly, it draws attention to the heterogeneous nature of responses to global capitalism, formed from the relationship between specific material practices, new technology and elements of cultural identity. Through the different practices, community members manage to keep their distance from aspects of the World System and globalised capitalism, even resist it, but seek closeness in other moments. Thirdly, building on my ethnographic study and my engagement with the concepts mentioned above, my thesis makes several conceptual contributions, appropriating existing concepts, which include a) the idea of counter-appropriation as a means to describe the practices of FARC-EP members to evade the appropriation of digital technologies against them by the national Colombian army, b) it builds on the idea of social capital to describe how how communities deal with the economic pressures of development (in the Brazilian case) and re-integration into mainstream modern/colonial society (in the Colombian case), and the supportive role of digital media, and c) it addresses lacunae in WSA and decolonial thinking by describing how colonliality/modernity and global capitalism actually spread and encountered by local specific communities, highlighting also the notion of resistance, which especially Wallerstein underplays. Fourthly, it argues for an increased sensibility towards these different relations to capitalism when considering design implications. Consequently, it indicates the need to investigate the economic assumptions contained in HCI initiatives, as well as inside ourselves as HCI researchers, as they might clash with the different ways in which local communities wish to relate to global systems. It argues that close attention to material practice goes some way towards resolving those tensions and, further, provides for an appeal to a more pluralistic views of culture and development (Escobar, 2018).}, language = {en}, urldate = {2023-10-25}, author = {Leal, Debora de Castro}, year = {2023}, doi = {10.25819/ubsi/10382}, note = {Accepted: 2023-08-23T07:24:05Z Journal Abbreviation: Am Rande – eine dekoloniale Perspektive der digitalen Welt}, keywords = {thesis}, }

Hieber, L. (2022)Accessible Museums through 3D Printing
, Siegen
[BibTeX] [Abstract] [Download PDF]Accessibility is an important topic for museums to enable people with (visual) impairments experience art and culture. Although there are several regulations by the European Union (EU) and the German Federal Republic for more accessibility, also in the cultural area, visually impaired people still face a lot of barriers. Nevertheless, there are various concepts to overcome these shortcomings such as audio descriptive guides or descriptions in braille. One of several methods of inclusion are 3D printed exhibits, offered as touch objects. This idea is also pursued by a museum near Siegen – the Ginsburg. Using the Ginsburg as an example this thesis aims to describe the role and potential of 3D printing in replicating historical artefacts. Following a holistic approach, the possibilities for additional enhancement of these 3D prints to promote accessibility to the visually impaired are explored. For this purpose, a design case study was conducted. This started with a literature review on visual impairment and current developments in museums as well as in 3D printing. Then, an empirical pre-study was performed. To understand current practices as well as underlying issues, 11 semi-structured interviews were carried out with blind people. Based on this, interactive Prototypes were developed using different 3D printing techniques in combination with various output modalities for audio comments. One version works with QR codes, the other version with conductive filament. Finally, the prototypes were evaluated with blind and sighted participants. The pre-study and the evaluation clearly show that there is a need for interactive exhibits such as those developed here. To provide significant added value for visually impaired museum visitors, they must not be limited to touch objects alone, but need to be enriched with additional information. Since not all blind people – especially late-blind people – can read textual information in braille, audio commentaries are an indispensable aid. Of the two versions developed, V2 is more promising. However, since V2 still exhibits considerable flaws, a further iteration of the prototype is strongly recommended before it is integrated as a permanent part of the exhibit at the Ginsburg. Independently of the Ginsburg, such interactive touch objects offer great potential for more accessible museums in general and could add value not only for the visually impaired, but for all museum visitors.

Tahir, A. (2022)Is Technology Necessary for Overcoming Anxiety: An Empirical Study
, Siegen
[BibTeX] [Abstract] [Download PDF]In this thesis I am focusing on how technology is helping students in overcoming anxiety, what technological artifacts students are using to deal with it. There is different coping mechanism to deal with anxiety. Some people prefer to be alone and some likes to surround them with friends and family. Most people experience anxiety depending on their surrounding or their experiences so to find out what are the reasons students’ experience anxiety I conducted semi-structured interviews. I collected data by asking participants about their general thoughts on anxiety, what are their opinions on dealing with anxiety with professional help and technological help, and in the end I asked them what future they envision in terms of anxiety. I conducted these interviews with students from diverse background to get their insights on what causes them anxiety and how they deal with it. Living alone, cultural shocks and managing studies are some of the reasons I got from interviews. When it comes to technological artifacts there are mobile applications and digital assistants available which helps in dealing with anxiety and I did market analysis on them too. For analyzing the data collected from interviews I did thematic analysis and from the results of the interview I created design fiction which propose the solutions to the problems faced by students.

Weber, J. K. (2021)Design of an Interaction Concept for Assisted Cooking in Smart Kitchens
, Siegen, Germany
[BibTeX] [Abstract] [Download PDF]Cooking can be a complex activity that concerns almost everyone in everyday life. Therefore, the topic of smart kitchens has great potential to provide users with added value through intelligent assistance. However, so far there is a lack of user-centric and holistic concepts for the use of these technologies in the cooking context. This shows the need to understand how users can be supported by integrating multiple devices in an interaction concept for assisted cooking. Therefore, the aim of this thesis is to design an interaction concept for assisted cooking in smart kitchens. The design mainly considers which interaction modalities are suitable and what aspects are relevant for designing a multimodal interaction concept. Furthermore, it is investigated in which form an intelligent assistant can proactively support the user during a cooking process. It is a target to investigate how the personality of the user, especially the factors cooking competence and need for autonomy, can affect the perception of such a proactive assistant. To achieve this goal, two qualitative studies were designed conducted using the user-centered design process. In order to understand the user context of cooking with a focus on cooking alone, a participant observation was conducted. Based on this, a multimodal proactive interaction concept was designed considering design guidelines from the literature. Finally, the concept was evaluated in the form of the prototype ”Cookie” using a Wizard-of-Oz approach. The conducted studies included different user groups recruited with a questionnaire designed for this purpose. The results of the thesis provide design indications for multimodal proactive assistants. Accordingly, for the design of multimodal systems it is especially important to consider the application context and the interaction efficiency. Furthermore, the modalities should be designed to be complementary to each other in a combined design process to achieve a holistic concept. For the design of proactive assistants, an emphasis should be put on the accuracy of user intention recognition in order to be able to support users according to their needs. Regarding proactivity, the results show that the degree of user involvement in the cooking activity can influence the users’ perception of the assistant’s controllability. Moreover, different user groups indicate to have different expectations towards the assistant to be perceived as trustworthy. In addition, the personality characteristics of cooking competence and need for autonomy might have an impact on the user’s perception of decision freedom when using a proactive assistant. Directions are provided towards further research focusing on how an adaptive proactive assistant could adapt to the user’s personality.

Castelli, N. (2020)Designing Human-Centered Systems for the Internet of Things – Design-Case Study inspired Concept for End-User Data Work for tailorable information visualizations and analysis of IoT and IIoT Data
Dissertation, Siegen
[BibTeX] [Abstract] [Download PDF]The Internet of Things (IoT) and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) are fast-growing emerging topics of technical, social, and economic significance that not only affect work practices but also daily routines and habits. The IoT and IIoT comprise a network of smart physical things and devices (such as production machines and home appliances). The number of “things” connected via the internet or the intranet is constantly increasing. It is estimated that approximately 20 billion IoT devices will be online by 2020 [179]. Internet of Things and IIoT devices communicate with one another through software technology with the aim of making them more autonomous and cooperative [334]. In addition to technological advances in hardware for the efficient acquisition and communication of context and status data, software solutions in particular offer great potential for influencing many areas of everyday life and work; to this end, humans should be taken into account when designing new digital systems. The central element here is the use of digital data, which are now available in greater quantities and at a better quality than ever before. Currently, the amount of data produced daily is 2.5 quintillion bytes–this will continue to increase in coming years [366]. These data contain much valuable information, which can only be obtained through appropriate data analyses and visualization and correct embedding in their context. The term “data work” has evolved as a superordinate area that combines all aspects of work with data to derive meaningful information, such as data consolidation, data processing, data refinement, data analysis, and data visualization [119]. This thesis focuses on end-user data work in the context of IoT and IIoT systems that supports users using their digital data by providing tailorable information visualizations and data analysis. From a Human Computer Interaction (HCI) perspective, this thesis examines how IoT and IIoT systems have to be designed to enable end-users to make digital data meaningful and usable. In this regard, and combining the areas of IoT system design, end-user development (EUD) and information visualization, the main goals of this thesis are: • To gain a deeper understanding of the use and appropriation of IoT and IIoT technology in different contexts, • To gain insights about the use of digital data for daily routines, habits and work practices; and • To evaluate possibilities for the development of a system design for end-user data work. This work is based on empirical field studies that investigate different settings (domestic and industrial) in the context of IoT and IIoT. Seen through the lens of appropriation [37, 99, 102, 291, 337], relevant practices for deploying and using IoT and IIoT technology, especially the practices of working with digital data to support routines, habits, and processes, are identified and discussed for different application areas. This has resulted in the development of system requirements to support the process of making abstract digital data accountable and meaningful for users in their everyday life and work practices. Grounded in these results, a concept of an end-user data work tool that allows the consolidation of digital data across system boundaries, lets users adjust the system to their context, supports flexible data visualizations, and empowers collaborative data work is presented.

The IoT and IIoT comprise a network of smart physical things and devices (such as production machines and home appliances). The number of “things” connected via the internet or the intranet is constantly increasing. It is estimated that approximately 20 billion IoT devices will be online by 2020 [179]. Internet of Things and IIoT devices communicate with one another through software technology with the aim of making them more autonomous and cooperative [334]. In addition to technological advances in hardware for the efficient acquisition and communication of context and status data, software solutions in particular offer great potential for influencing many areas of everyday life and work; to this end, humans should be taken into account when designing new digital systems. The central element here is the use of digital data, which are now available in greater quantities and at a better quality than ever before. Currently, the amount of data produced daily is 2.5 quintillion bytes–this will continue to increase in coming years [366]. These data contain much valuable information, which can only be obtained through appropriate data analyses and visualization and correct embedding in their context. The term “data work” has evolved as a superordinate area that combines all aspects of work with data to derive meaningful information, such as data consolidation, data processing, data refinement, data analysis, and data visualization [119]. This thesis focuses on end-user data work in the context of IoT and IIoT systems that supports users using their digital data by providing tailorable information visualizations and data analysis. From a Human Computer Interaction (HCI) perspective, this thesis examines how IoT and IIoT systems have to be designed to enable end-users to make digital data meaningful and usable. In this regard, and combining the areas of IoT system design, end-user development (EUD) and information visualization, the main goals of this thesis are: • To gain a deeper understanding of the use and appropriation of IoT and IIoT technology in different contexts, • To gain insights about the use of digital data for daily routines, habits and work practices; and • To evaluate possibilities for the development of a system design for end-user data work. This work is based on empirical field studies that investigate different settings (domestic and industrial) in the context of IoT and IIoT. Seen through the lens of appropriation [37, 99, 102, 291, 337], relevant practices for deploying and using IoT and IIoT technology, especially the practices of working with digital data to support routines, habits, and processes, are identified and discussed for different application areas.

The existence of the Israeli state prevented the Palestinian refugees to get back to their homes. Their houses and villages were depopulated and demolished. Traveling to Palestine could be intimidating for some people due to the perception that the western media have shown about the country. Palestinian refugees need to have access to see Palestine. Anybody who wants to visit the country, but has political situation concerns, must experience or see what to expect of a visit to Palestine. Action research was the concept of developing Glimpses from Palestine Virtual Reality application. The application development was based on the insights that were collected from interviews. The rebuilding of one of the demolished villages in Virtual Reality has given the application a historical and political aspect. The results show a strong connection between the second and third generations of Palestinians and Palestine. The transition of stories from grandparents to grandchildren in the diaspora and their effect on maintaining a strong relationship with the country. Also, the results showed the effect that Glimpses from Palestine has on people to preserve the value of their country and villages. This research explores the Virtual Reality as a new approach for documenting and displaying the historical events and facts of a country as Palestine, that the history and the demography of the country were changed due to political conflict.

Pakusch, C. (2020)Technology assessment of autonomous driving – are shared autonomous vehicles ecologically and socially sustainable?
doi:10.25819/ubsi/8475
[BibTeX] [Abstract] [Download PDF]Since its advent, the sustainability effects of the modern sharing economy have been the subject of controversial debate. While its potential was initially discussed in terms of post-ownership development with a view to decentralizing value creation and increasing social capital and environmental relief through better utilization of material goods, critics have become increasingly loud in recent years. Many people hoped that carsharing could lead to development away from ownership towards flexible use and thus more resource-efficient mobility. However, carsharing remains niche, and while many people like the idea in general, they appear to consider carsharing to not be advantageous as a means of transport in terms of cost, flexibility, and comfort. A key innovation that could elevate carsharing from its niche existence in the future is autonomous driving. This technology could help shared mobility gain a new boost by allowing it to overcome the weaknesses of the present carsharing business model. Flexibility and comfort could be greatly enhanced with shared autonomous vehicles (SAVs), which could simultaneously offer benefits in terms of low cost, and better use of time without the burden of vehicle ownership. However, it is not the technology itself that is sustainable; rather, sustainability depends on the way in which this technology is used. Hence, it is necessary to make a prospective assessment of the direct and indirect (un)sustainable effects before or during the development of a technology in order to incorporate these findings into the design and decision-making process. Transport research has been intensively analyzing the possible economic, social, and ecological consequences of autonomous driving for several years. However, research lacks knowledge about the consequences to be expected from shared autonomous vehicles. Moreover, previous findings are mostly based on the knowledge of experts, while potential users are rarely included in the research. To address this gap, this thesis contributes to answering the questions of what the ecological and social impacts of the expected concept of SAVs will be. In my thesis, I study in particular the ecological consequences of SAVs in terms of the potential modal shifts they can induce as well as their social consequences in terms of potential job losses in the taxi industry. Regarding this, I apply a user-oriented, mixed-method technology assessment approach that complements existing, expert-oriented technology assessment studies on autonomous driving that have so far been dominated by scenario analyses and simulations. To answer the two questions, I triangulated the method of scenario analysis and qualitative and quantitative user studies. The empirical studies provide evidence that the automation of mobility services such as carsharing may to a small extent foster a shift from the private vehicle towards mobility on demand. However, findings also indicate that rebound effects are to be expected: Significantly more users are expected to move away from the more sustainable public transportation, leading to an overcompensation of the positive modal shift effects by the negative modal shift effects. The results show that a large proportion of the taxi trips carried out can be re-placed by SAVs, making the profession of taxi driver somewhat obsolete. However, interviews with taxi drivers themselves revealed that the services provided by the drivers go beyond mere transport, so that even in the age of SAVs, the need for human assistance will continue – though to a smaller extent. Given these findings, I see action potential at different levels: users, mobility service providers, and policymakers. Regarding environmental and social impacts resulting from the use of SAVs, there is a strong conflict of objectives among users, potential SAV operators, and sustainable environmental and social policies. In order to strengthen the positive effects and counteract the negative effects, such as unintended modal shifts, policies may soon have to regulate the design of SAVs and their introduction. A key starting point for transport policy is to promote the use of more environmentally friendly means of transport, in particular by making public transportation attractive and, if necessary, by making the use of individual motorized mobility less attractive. The taxi industry must face the challenges of automation by opening up to these developments and focusing on service orientation – to strengthen the drivers’ main unique selling point compared to automated technology. Assessing the impacts of the not-yet-existing generally involves great uncertainty. With the results of my work, however, I would like to argue that a user-oriented technology assessment can usefully complement the findings of classic methods of technology assessment and can iteratively inform the development process regarding technology and regulation.

[BibTeX] [Abstract] [Download PDF]Das Okavango Delta in Botswana, einem Land im südlichen Afrika, ist berühmt für seine Artenvielfalt. Doch das beliebte Touristenziel wird auch von zahlreichen Menschen in direkter Nachbarschaft zu Nationalparks bewohnt. Wenn die Weideflächen ihrer Nutztiere mit dem Territorium von Raubtieren überlappen, sind fatale Konflikte die Konsequenz: etwa 250 Angriffe auf Rinder wurden im Jahr 2017 in vier untersuchten Dörfern gemeldet, von denen 87 \% von Löwen stammen. Nicht nur die Existenz und Sicherheit der Farmer sind bedroht: unzureichende staatliche Entschädigung führt auch zu Frustration, einer negativen Wahrnehmung und sogar Verfolgung von Löwen. Um dieses Problem zu lösen und Konflikte auf ein Minimum zu reduzieren, hat die Non-Profit-Organisation CLAWS (Communities Living Among Wildlife Sustainably) ein GPS-Tracking von Löwen mittels Halsbändern und ein Warnsystem namens LionAlert etabliert, bei dem Forscher die Einheimischen per SMS warnen, wann immer ein Löwe einen kritischen Bereich betritt.

Diese Masterarbeit beschäftigt sich mit einer Lösung für diese Probleme, indem ein interaktives Interface für eine neue, automatisch betriebene Version von LionAlert designt und evaluiert wird.

Jakobi, T. (2019)Incorporating Usable Privacy into Connected Devices: A User-Centered Perspective
Dissertation, Siegen
[BibTeX] [Abstract]Due to the popularity of the Internet and the networked services that it facilitates, networked devices have become increasingly common in both the workplace and everyday life in recent years-following the trail blazed by smartphones. The data provided by these devices allow for the creation of rich user profiles. As a result, the collection, processing and exchange of such personal data have become drivers of economic growth. History shows that the adoption of new technologies is likely to influence both individual and societal concepts of privacy. Research into privacy has therefore been confronted with continuously changing concepts due to technological progress. From a legal perspective, privacy laws that reflect social values are sought. Privacy enhancing technologies are developed or adapted to take account of technological development. Organizations must also identify protective measures that are effective in terms of scalability and automation. Similarly, research is being conducted from the perspective of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) to explore design spaces that empower individuals to manage their protection needs with regard to novel data, which they may perceive as sensitive. Taking such an HCI perspective with regard to understanding privacy management on the Internet ofThings (IoT), this research mainly focuses on three interrelated goals across the fields of application: 1. Exploring and analyzing how people make sense of data, especially when managing privacy and data disclosure; 2. Identifying, framing and evaluating potential resources for designing sense-making processes; and 3. Exploring the fitness of the identified concepts for inclusion in legal and technical perspectives on supporting decisions regarding privacy on the IoT. Although this work’s point of departure is the HCI perspective, it emphasizes the importance of the interrelationships among seemingly independent perspectives. Their interdependence is therefore also emphasized and taken into account by subscribing to a user-centered design process throughout this study. More specifically, this thesis adopts a design case study approach. This approach makes it possible to conduct full user-centered design lifecycles in a concrete application case with participants in the context of everyday life. Based on this approach, it was possible to investigate several domains of the IoT that are currently relevant, namely smart metering, smartphones, smart homes and connected cars. The results show that the participants were less concerned about (raw) data than about the information that could potentially be derived from it. Against the background of the constant collection of highly technical and abstract data, the content of which only becomes visible through the application of complex algorithms, this study indicates that people should learn to explore and understand these data flexibly, and provides insights in how to design for supporting this aim. From the point of view of design for usable privacy protection measures, the information that is provided to users about data disclosure should be focused on the consequences thereof for users‘ environments and life. A related concept from law is „informed consent,“ which I propose should be further developed in order to implement usable mechanisms for individual privacy protection in the era of the IoT. Finally, this thesis demonstrates how research on HCI can be methodologically embedded in a regulative process that will inform both the development of technology and the drafting of legislation.

IN Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, Vol. 6 doi:10.3389/fevo.2018.00242
[BibTeX] [Abstract] [Download PDF]Across Africa, lions (Panthera leo) are heavily persecuted in anthropogenic landscapes. Trans-disciplinary research and virtual boundaries (geofences) programmed into GPS-tracking transmitters offer new opportunities to improve coexistence. During a 24-month pilot study (2016-2018), we alerted communities about approaching lions, issuing 1,017 alerts to four villages and 19 cattle posts. Alerts reflected geofence breaches of nine lions (2,941 monitoring days) moving between Botswana’s Okavango Delta and adjacent agro-pastoral communities. Daily alert system costs per lion were US\$18.54, or \$5,460.24 per GPS deployment (n = 13). Alert-responsive livestock owners mainly responded by night-kraaling of cattle (68.9\%), significantly reducing their losses (by \$124.61 annually), whereas losses of control group and non-responsive livestock owners remained high (\$317.93 annually). Community satisfaction with alerts (91.8\%) was higher than for compensation of losses (24.3\%). Study lions spent 26.3\% of time monitored in geofenced community areas, but accounted for 31.0\% of conflict. Manual alert distribution proved challenging, static geofences did not appropriately reflect human safety or the environment’s strong seasonality that influenced cattle predation risk, and tracking units with on-board alert functions often failed or under-recorded geofence breaches by 27.9\%. These insufficiencies prompted the design of a versatile and autonomous lion alert platform with automated, dynamic geofencing. We co-designed this prototype platform with community input, thereby incorporating user feedback. We outline a flexible approach that recognizes conflict complexity and user community heterogeneity. Here, we describe the evolution of an innovative Information and Communication Technologies-based alert system that enables instant data processing and community participation through interactive interfaces on different devices. We highlight the importance of a trans-disciplinary co-design and development process focussing on community engagement while synthesising expertise from ethnography, ecology, and socio-informatics. We discuss the bio-geographic, social, and technological variables that influence alert system efficacy and outline opportunities for wider application in promoting coexistence and conservation.

We discuss the bio-geographic, social, and technological variables that influence alert system efficacy and outline opportunities for wider application in promoting coexistence and conservation.}, language = {English}, urldate = {2021-04-16}, journal = {Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution}, author = {Weise, Florian J. and Hauptmeier, Helmut and Stratford, Ken J. and Hayward, Matthew W. and Aal, Konstantin and Heuer, Marcus and Tomeletso, Mathata and Wulf, Volker and Somers, Michael J. and Stein, Andrew B.}, year = {2019}, note = {Publisher: Frontiers}, keywords = {thesis, Alert System, coexistence, Conflict mitigation, early warning, Geofencing, grounded design, Lion (Panthera leo), Socio-informatics}, }

Ahmadi, M. (2018)Strengthening the Role of Female Young Professionals in IT-Organizations by Using a PAR Approach in Gender Studies
Proceedings of the 2018 ACM Conference on Supporting Groupwork. New York, NY, USA, Publisher: Association for Computing Machinery, Pages: 369–372 doi:10.1145/3148330.3152696
[BibTeX] [Abstract] [Download PDF]Women interested in STEM fields (science, technology, engineering and mathematics), especially information technology (IT), are still facing several problems considering equality and career chances. Companies realize the opportunities of diversity and yet for several reasons they are struggling to hire or integrate female young professionals. Although gender study research provides promising frameworks there are still issues of making those usable in practical environments. Thus, there does exist a gap between science and practice – A gap which our project aims to close by promoting the transfer of knowledge between gender studies and IT practice. Therefore, we collaborate with IT-organizations over a timespan of three years using a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach. This approach offers opportunities to reveal new, relevant insights and create social change in a collaborative way. Thus, my PhD thesis deals on the one hand with the results considering specific gender-related topics we gained in the organizations as well as, on the other hand, with an evaluation of our methodology in this specific context.

Kirchhübel, J. & Jasche, F. (2018)BeamLite Nutzerzentrierte Konzeption, Implementierung und Evaluierung eines Mixed Reality Kommunikationssystems für Remote-Meetings (Masterarbeit)
[BibTeX] [Abstract] [Download PDF]
Studien zeigen, dass die Anzahl der Meetings im beruflichen Alltag zunimmt. Die räumliche Distribuierung von Arbeitern und Partnern erschwert es jedoch zunehmend Face-to-Face- Meetings abzuhalten. Tele- und Videokonferenzsysteme gehören daher zum Alltag vieler Angestellter und gewinnen zunehmend an Wichtigkeit für die Forschung [RN01]. Bei der Betrachtung unterschiedlicher Systeme fällt auf, dass die Vermittlung von Telepräsenz im Fokus steht. Entwickler und Forscher adressieren mit ihren Projekten die Frage „Wie bringe ich den Remote-Teilnehmer in das Meeting?“ Allerdings mangelt es an der Lösung zu der Fragestellung: „Wie kann das Meeting zu dem Remote-Teilnehmer gebracht werden?“ Die Masterarbeit BeamLite bearbeitet diese Fragestellung. Das Ziel besteht in der Entwicklung eines Konzepts für ein innovatives Mixed Reality-Kommunikationssystem, das sich neuer Technologien wie Virtual Reality und Augmented Reality bedient. Das System kann einem entfernten Teilnehmer eines Meetings die Möglichkeit bieten, sich virtuell an demselben Ort wie die lokalen Teilnehmer zu befinden und aktiv an diesem Meeting teilzunehmen. Der entfernte Teilnehmer kann den Meeting-Raum durch ein Virtual Reality-Headset so realitätsnah wie möglich wahrnehmen, sich in diesem bewegen und mit Objekten sowie Personen in der Umgebung interagieren. Zeitgleich werden Position, Sprache sowie Gestik des entfernten Teilnehmers an die Personen im realen Meeting-Raum mittels Augmentierung durch Datenbrillen übertragen.
