Identifying biological and behavioural causes of diseases has been one of the central concerns of epidemiology for the past half century. This has led to the development of increasingly sophisticated conceptual and analytical approaches focused on the isolation of single causes of disease states. However, the growing recognition that (i) factors at multiple levels, including biological, behavio...

When faced with a decision, it is often difficult for people to choose the best option for their long term well-being. Augmented reality can enable users to see more than what is physically present. Here, I propose and demonstrate an augmented reality system that helps users make healthier choices. Using object recognition as a heuristic for decision recognition, the system guides the user towa...

This paper explores the theoretical compatibility and practical benefits of combining methods developed within Systems Dynamics with Critical Systems Thinking to address concerns relevant to critical management. Three questions arise. The first is how System Dynamics methods might be useful in critical management studies. What ‘problems’ within critical management studies might qualitative Syst...

This paper focuses on coping with system quality in the early phases of design where there is lack of knowledge about a system, its functions or its architect. The paper encourages knowledge based evaluation of system quality and promotes probabilistic thinking. It states that probabilistic thinking facilitates communication between a system designer and other design stakeholders or specialists...

Problem posing is identified as an important activity in mathematics education. In problem posing, it is important but difficult for learners to generate diverse problems. In this study, we examine a method and implement a system for facilitating learners’ diverse thinking in the task of posing mathematical word problems. Since we focus on an aspect of problem posing as a creative generation ta...

TeleBoard ermöglicht kollaboratives, kreatives Arbeiten in Teams an verschiedenen Standorten.
