Conference Object Ethics in Industrial Product Design - (good, Goods and Gods)(University of Zagreb, 2002) Özcan, A. CanThe lack of ethical side and its possible reasons in our professional designer lives is the main theme of this presentation. For the basic principle is good for ethical existence, we usually avoid asking ethical questions in our professional design activities. We prefer principles of professionalism or codes of conduct. Though the whole design culture of past, present and future have been and will be abstractions of human mind, yet we find ethics too abstract for design practice. We seem to prefer designing for the sake of design’s own sake and never asking ethical questions like “is it good?” Of course there comes a time for all of us to ask ethical questions and it usually happens when the going gets tough. When somebody reproduces a sheep genetically, when a couple of designer-scientists get close to apply human DNA into computer processors, when we start watching planes crashing into towers just like a movie or a war just like a computer software, or when we see our children getting more violent in front of actual or fictional terror in our designed environment, then we start asking ethical questions as it is nowadays.Article Citation - WoS: 41Citation - Scopus: 65Adoption Factors of Electronic Health Record Systems(Elsevier Ltd., 2019) Spatar, Daria; Kök, Orhun; Başoğlu, Ahmet Nuri; Daim, Tuğrul U.The main goal of the study is to investigate the factors that affect adoption of EHR systems. The adoption has been looked at through four lenses: users' satisfaction, impact on quality of care, infusion and diffusion of the technology. The study incorporates the results of the most important studies in the field. The findings of the research allow decision-makers to select an EHR that better suits needs of the users, to choose a strategy to avoid users' resistance and lack of support. The study offers a comprehensive framework that can be used in different settings, i.e. small and large clinics, developing and developed countries, etc. Also it contributes to the state of knowledge, as it provides an extensive analysis of the factors, both system- and user-related, that affect user adoption and proves applicability of TAM in the healthcare settings.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 1Paramortals, or Dancing With the Interactive Digital Dead(Athabasca University Press, 2016) Onufrijchuk, Roman[No abstract available]Conference Object Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 2A Comparison of Two Innovation Tools: Application on Smart Kitchen Design(IEEE, 2017) Taşkın, Burcu; Başoğlu, Nuri; Daim, Tuğrul ÜnsalThe process is one of the significant issues of companies in innovative product design. The designers and the management deal with producing high quality products with the creativity in a short-term period. The researchers developed techniques to solve that problem as TRIZ. The TRIZ-based techniques aim to recover the gaps of the creative innovation to solve specific problems of technical products and technologies. However, the traditional innovation techniques are still preferred for the design process. This study conducted a comparative research on outcomes regarding the process of two design groups. The assignment is given to ten design students to identify the design requirements of smart kitchen design that answers the specific problem and to propose a product through needs and demands. First group with five students applied TRIZ-based techniques, while the other five students applied one of another innovation techniques. In this study the outcomes of the group design of smart kitchen is discussed to compare the application of the process and quality of the products.Article Citation - WoS: 22Exploring Adoption of Augmented Reality Smart Glasses: Applications in the Medical Industry(Higher Education Press, 2018) Başoğlu, Nuri; Göken, Müge; Dabic, Marina; Özdemir Güngör, Dilek; Daim, Tuğrul ÜnsalThis study explores the use of augmented reality smart glasses (ARSGs) by physicians and their adoption of these products in the Turkish medical industry. Google Glass was used as a demonstrative example for the introduction of ARSGs. We proposed an exploratory model based on the technology acceptance model by Davis. Exogenous factors in the model were defined by performing semi-structured in-depth interviews, along with the use of an expert panel in addition to the technology adoption literature. The framework was tested by means of a field study, data was collected via an Internet survey, and path analysis was used. The results indicate that there were a number of factors to be considered in order to understand ARSG adoption by physicians. Usefulness was influenced by ease of use, compatibility, ease of reminding, and speech recognition, while ease of use was affected by ease of learning, ease of medical education, external influence, and privacy. Privacy was the only negative factor that reduced the perceived ease of use, and was found to indirectly create a negative attitude. Compatibility emerged as the most significant external factor for usefulness. Developers of ARSGs should pay attention to healthcare-specific requirements for improved utilization and more extensive adoption of ARSGs in healthcare settings. In particular, they should focus on how to increase the compatibility of ARSGs. Further research needs to be conducted to explain the adoption intention of physicians.Article 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.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4The Roma Image in the Mainstream Turkish Audiovisual Media: Sixty Years of Stereotyping(Liverpool University Press, 2019) Cox, Ayça Tunç; Uştuk, OzanThis article seeks to address one of the most problematic lacunae in Turkey's political and academic landscape by examining the mediated images of the Roma people in Turkey. This long-neglected sub-cultural group in the Turkish context is mostly regarded as the “others” of society, who cannot speak for themselves. Their public imagination is, therefore, based heavily on narratives that are exclusively produced by non-Roma people. In order to reveal the historical construction of the popular Roma image in Turkey, we cover audiovisual material from the 1960s onward. Through a descriptive-interpretive analysis, we seek to explore how cultural and artistic narratives have contributed to and/or mirrored, and thus reproduced, the prevailing knowledge and imagination about the Roma people in Turkish society. © 2019 Liverpool University Press.

Their impact in some fields has already been seen. We explore the factors which are important and help the adoption of these technologies. Specifically we study the adoption factors of smart glasses. Technology adoption process depends on preferences and needs of people who use the systems under study. We explore these phenomenon through two frameworks: Product Characteristics and User Intention Characteristics. The purpose of the first framework is to examine the effects of smart glass design features; Stand-alone device, field of view, interaction, price, and display resolution on user preference through an experimental study and we use conjoint analysis. The second framework explore many more factors such as self-efficacy, anxiety, involvement, risk-task characteristics, enjoyment, usefulness, ease of use, attitude and intention. A web survey supplemented by visual aids was used.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 1Design Study of a Medical Device(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2017) Taşkın, Burcu; Başoğlu, Ahmet NuriFor the new product design in the medical industry, the designer's role is to identify requirements of product by focusing on the target need, demand and market supply. This research aims to explore the main problems of existing crutches in the medical industry with two phases; to identify the crutch design requirements by research and to define market position involving financial analysis with three economic scenarios. Therefore, the study based on a research with reutilize multiple techniques for walking aid design requirements through needs and demands, aims to discuss the collected data from different perspectives of medical experts, medical store owners and crutch users to create design criteria.
