Book Part Adoption Factors of Electronic Health Record Systems(Springer, 2016) Kök,O.M.; Başoğlu, Ahmet Nuri; Daim,T.U.Today’s rapidly changing regulations, increasing healthcare costs, and most importantly globalization have made health record keeping an important issue. Electronic health record systems are rising as a crucial and unavoidable way of record keeping for healthcare. However, as other information technology implementations, electronic health records also have their own adoption processes and diffusion factors. The main goal of this study is to define a model to analyze the adoption process of electronic health record systems and to understand the diffusion factors. © 2016, Springer International Publishing Switzerland.Article Design Discourse in Discount Shopping Context: Textual Analysis With Critical Studies Perspective and Deconstructionist Theory(Intellect Ltd., 2024) Talu, NilüferIn consumption culture, individuals need things to update their selves or to repre-sent their identities. The more they update their belongings, the more they feel unsatisfied. In this cultural recycling, everyday objects become objects of desire, while the notion of design functions to create attraction. The problem originates in the disengagement of subjects–objects in which the capitalist economic system gets benefits sustaining the cycle of mass production-consumption. To get more benefit, this cycle is sped up along with discount shopping context. The study aims to produce a design discourse in discount shopping context in relevance of the issues of individuality and ethics. The method is a textual analysis with critical studies perspective and deconstructionist approach. The texts are the questionnaire transcripts written by fifteen women. Critical studies perspective clarifies power relations between capitalist economic system and consumer; and deconstructivist approach determines binary relations in relevance of individuality, and ethics and heterogeneity of the texts concerning to design. Along with these two approaches, textual analysis creates a discursive structure. The structure is used to generate a design discourse in which the meaning of design is situated. In this structure, design would be something in a specific heterogeneity and relations around the matters of individuality and ethics. The discursive structure is of importance that summarizes the method used and determines all coherencies around the definitions of design. This structure also could be a useful source for the production of other critical discourses on the relations of subjects–objects and the position of design in consumption culture. © 2023 Intellect Ltd Article.Article Design Discourse in Discount Shopping Context: Textual Analysis With Critical Studies Perspective and Deconstructionist Theory(Intellect Ltd., 2023) Talu, NilüferIn consumption culture, individuals need things to update their selves or to repre-sent their identities.

The cluster contains 167 toys, collected between the years 1993 and 2015. The study methodology consisted of content analysis involving both qualitative interpretation and quantitative techniques. The interpretation is initiated with the toys’ physical materiality. Analysis is then developed on the compositional modalities of each toy, the place of each in the cluster, and the cluster as a whole. Qualitative interpretation and theoretical analysis of detailed descriptions and groupings of the cluster highlight the central themes found at the intersection of design and culture. Analysis of the cluster reveals that it carries the duality, or the tension, between modern and postmodern cultures with one elevating functionality and the other using storytelling as a means of creativity. They are designed objects and design things blending the two cultures in their physical content, and can be seen as artifacts that contribute to the value of design in everyday life within the context of mass culture. © Common Ground Research Networks, Nilüfer Talu, All Rights Reserved.Article The Queen’s Body: The Favourite by Yorgos Lanthimos(Intellect Ltd., 2022) İnan, Fatma Serra; Tunç Cox, AyçaThe palace as a building type is a very complex structure both socially and spatially. It accommodates a few hundreds or thousands of people within a strictly stratified social structure that is constantly manifested through the spatial boundaries or innumerable symbols embodied in the material culture.Book Part Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 10An Acceptance Model for the Adoption of Smart Glasses Technology by Healthcare Professionals(Springer, 2020) Ozdemir-Gungor, Dilek; Goken, Muge; Basoglu, Nuri; Shaygan, Amir; Dabic, Marina; Daim, Tugrul U.Article Citation - WoS: 51Citation - Scopus: 75Augmented Reality Technology Adoption: Case of a Mobile Application in Turkey(Elsevier, 2021) Yavuz, Merve; Çorbacıoğlu, Eda; Başoğlu, Ahmet Nuri; Daim, Tuğrul U.; Shaygan, AmirWith the increasing use of smart devices, augmented reality (AR) technology has become widespread in mobile devices. As with user interaction technologies, there are factors affecting the use of applications in mobile augmented reality (MAR) applications. In this study, the factors affecting the use of mobile augmented reality in Turkey are investigated. Although AR and MAR are generally investigated during the research period, “Augment”, the application, was used in the survey and interview parts of the research study. The interview consists of three different parts in addition to a quantitative experimental study. More than hundred variables were obtained from articles and interviews which 22 of them were selected. The results showed that the two most important factors that influence usage of MAR applications are security and privacy. These two are followed by ease of learning, visual quality of the application 3D model, and ease of use in importance, respectively. It is recommended that designers and application developers consider these five variables when designing or developing a MAR application. © 2021 Elsevier LtdArticle Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4Design Based Exploration of Medical System Adoption: Case of Wheelchair Ramps(Elsevier, 2021) Doğan Kumtepe, Elvan; Çorbacıoğlu, Eda; Başoğlu, Ahmet Nuri; Daim, Tuğrul Ünsal; Shaygan, AmirThis study focuses on the exploration of wheelchair users' expectations from portable ramps and their adoption factors, then correspondingly offers a smart mass customization design tool. Briefly, portable ramps are generally used by wheelchair users, and provide a temporary solution to increase accessibility in their daily lives. In this research, a rollable ramp was examined as this prototype was developed in a prior funded research and thesis study. Our aim in this study is to explore the critical factors of satisfaction of users' and potential users' of portable ramps. To maximize the usability of portable ramp in various outdoor/indoor spaces and physical structures, an efficient permutation of flexible/adjustable components is offered. The research includes flexibility and customization and many external factors effective for adoption of portable ramp. In this context, three research methods were applied; semi structured-face-to-face interviews, observation, and experimental study. The constructs of the survey were extracted from literature and patent reviews then refined during observation and interviews. Wheelchair users answered a web-based survey with multiple constructs. The survey uncovered that personalization, flexibility, extension capability, and cost is critical. As well, users prefer the chance to try the model before purchasing. The effort needed to carry and learn how to use the ramp seems to be one of the key factors. It is also found that the user's life style and product match has an effect on adoption. At the end of the study, a smart mass customization design tool will be developed, which potential users or sales representatives are able to easily interact with in order to customize the portable ramp. © 2021 Elsevier LtdArticle Citation - WoS: 1An Apprenticeship Project: Silversmithing in Kapalicarsi (the Grand Bazaar)(Intellect Ltd., 2019) Tarcan, Berilsu; Cox, Ayça TunçVarious cultural objects, crafts and traditional production techniques from Turkey have been research subjects in the field of design studies in recent years. During this time, definitions of tradition, culture and craft have changed and, therefore, these changes need to be revisited, in particular relating to product design. This study explores these changes through a field study conducted in Istanbul, Turkey, one of the key areas of craft production. Focusing on silversmithing, a traditional craft in Turkey, the study seeks to identify new ways in which craft can be used in and lead to the design of new products. The field study was conducted with students from the Industrial Design Department of Istanbul Bilgi University during their second-year studio course. For the study, they were paired with craftsmen in the Kapalicarsi (the Grand Bazaar) area, one of the most well-known and historic craft neighbourhoods in Istanbul. The aim was to investigate the relationship between traditional craft methods, craft knowledge and contemporary product design, specifically to find out how traditional craft knowledge and methods can be used to inform contemporary product design, and in return, how the craftspeople might benefit from this exchange.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 3Portrayal of Turkish-German Migratory Relations in Turkish Films of the 1980s: a Call for an Alternative Reading(Routledge, 2019) Tunç Cox, AyçaPopular imagination of an age-old and very common phenomenon - migration - depends on images and stories in circulation. Mediated images of migration, refugees and diasporas play an important role in ethnic and cultural identification processes. This article explores how Turkey has accounted for its own diasporic subjects through cinematic narratives. Focusing on two salient Turkish examples from the 1980s that contradict the dominant narrative tendencies in Turkish-German/German films of the time, this article aims to present a fresh outlook. It strives to explore how these films question stereotypes and problematize essentialist readings of Turkishness and nationhood via a descriptive-interpretive analysis.
