  2. 6. Design and Investigation of a Decision Support System for Public Policy Formulation

    Author : Osama Ibrahim; Aron Larsson; David Sundgren; Els van Daalen; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Systems Thinking; Prescriptive Policy Analysis; Policy modelling and Simulation; ICT for governane; Sense4us; Policy Impact Assessment; Scenario Planning; Knowledge synthesis; Computer and Systems Sciences; data- och systemvetenskap;

    Abstract : The ultimate aim of support for public policy decision making is to develop ways of facilitating policymaking that can create policies that are consistent with the preferences of policymakers and stakeholders (such as an increase in economic growth, the reduction of social inequalities, and improvements to the environment), and that are at the same time based on the available knowledge and evidential information.Using the design science research methodology, an iterative design process was followed to build and evaluate a research artefact in the form of an analytical method that is also operationalised as a decision support system (DSS) – in order to facilitate the problem analysis, the impact assessment and the decision evaluation activities carried out at the policy formulation stage of the policymaking process.

  5. 8. The Informed Gaze : On the Implications of ICT-Based Surveillance

    Author : Baki Cakici; Magnus Boman; Nina Wormbs; Markus Bylund; Harald Rohracher; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; ICT; discourse; surveillance; design; sustainability; outbreak detection; Computer and Systems Sciences; data- och systemvetenskap;

    Abstract : Information and communication technologies are not value-neutral. I examine two domains, public health surveillance and sustainability, in five papers covering: (i) the design and development of a software package for computer-assisted outbreak detection; (ii) a workflow for using simulation models to provide policy advice and a list of challenges for its practice; (iii) an analysis of design documents from three smart home projects presenting intersecting visions of sustainability; (iv) an analysis of EU-financed projects dealing with sustainability and ICT; (v) an analysis of the consequences of design choices when creating surveillance technologies.

  6. 9. Designing for Automated Digital Preservation : Model, Pre-Ingest, and Error Handling

    Author : Parvaneh Westerlund; Tero Päivärinta; Jörgen Nilsson; Julie McLeod; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Long-term Digital Preservation; Design Science Research; Information System; Information systems; Informationssystem;

    Abstract : With the rapid increase in the amount and complexity of data that is needed to be preserved, manual preservation activities produce complex, lengthy, and costly processes. Therefore, automation of preservation processes, together with modeling of workflows and streamlining, can help reduce costs and enhance the focus on preservation processes. READ MORE

  7. 10. Maternal Healthcare in Low-Resource Settings: Investigations of IT as a resource

    Author : Hawa Nyende; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Maternal Healthcare; Value-based healthcare; Low-resource settings; Service-dominant Logic; Value Co-creation; Information Technology; Task-shifting strategy;

    Abstract : Maternal mortality is a major problem especially in developing countries. Maternal deaths are partly attributed to the limited access to healthcare and a shortage of medically trained health professionals who can provide maternal healthcare service. Approaches have been adopted to improve access and quality of healthcare. READ MORE
