2. 6. Learning for safety: Improvements of Swedish authorities’ toolkits for societal resilience

   Author : Jonas Borell; Ergonomi och aerosolteknologi; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Societal safety; Crisis management; Emergency management; Learning; Evaluation; Exercise; Risk assessment; Safety culture;

   Abstract : This thesis suggests improvements of selected parts of the Swedish authorities’ toolkits for societal safety and crisis management; crisis response evaluations, crisis management exercises and organizational risk assessments. The thesis also explores how visualizations of safety culture data can be used to support safety culture development. READ MORE

4. 7. Harnessing Handheld Computing - Framework, Toolkit and Design Propositions

   Author : Bo Andersson; Sven Carlsson; Institutionen för informatik; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mobile Computing; Design Science; Digital Ranger; Handheld Computing; Informatics; Informatik; System Development; Handheld Information Systems; Accentuated Factor Framework; Mobile Computing;

   Abstract : The rapid development of handheld technologies such as smartphones and personal digital assistants in recent years has created opportunities for the mobile workforce to take advantage of computerised information systems. To apprehend and harness the opportunities of computerised information systems implemented on handheld devices it is crucial to fully understand the user group and the handheld technology. READ MORE

5. 8. Circular design through co-creation: Exploring perspectives and future directions for design in a circular economy

   Author : Giliam Dokter; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Circular Economy; Co-creation; Design practice; Prototyping; Design for Sustainability; Circular Design;

   Abstract : In the efforts to stimulate sustainable development, the circular economy aims to establish ‘closed-loop’ flows of resources in a way that enables businesses and society to reap benefits from maintaining products, components and materials at their highest utility and value, while simultaneously reducing the generation of waste. Designing for a circular economy will require designers to, more than ever, anticipate how artifacts function and change over time and conceptualise the entire lifecycle (including the design, production, use and end-of-life phase) in a coherent and holistic way.

6. 9. Reflective Spatial Haptic Interaction Design Approaching a Designerly Understanding of Spatial Haptics

   Author : Jonas Forsslund; Eva-Lotta Sallnäs Pysander; Petra Sundström; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : With a spatial haptic interface device and a suitable haptic rendering algorithm, users can explore and modify virtual geometries in three dimensions with the aid of their haptic (touch) sense. Designers of surgery simulators, anatomy exploration tools and applications that involve assembly of complex objects should consider employing this technology. READ MORE

7. 10. Modular Enzyme-Responsive Polysaccharide-Based Hydrogels for Biofabrication

   Author : Sajjad Naeimipour; Daniel Aili; Robert Selegård; Alireza Dolatshahi-Pirouz; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; 3D cell-culture; Bioprinting; Alginate; Hyaluronan; Cancer model;

   Abstract : Engineered human tissue and disease models can decrease the cost and time of developing new drugs and treatments, facilitate personalized medicine, and eliminate the need for animal models that poorly represent the human body and are ethically problematic. However, the current conventional cell expansion methods using 2D culture flasks cannot enable the development of such complex multi-cellular 3D models. READ MORE
