    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.

    Design Discourse in Discount Shopping Context: Textual Analysis With Critical Studies Perspective and Deconstructionist Theory
    (Intellect Ltd., 2024) Talu, Nilüfer
    In 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.

    Designing a Driver Environment for Rigid Inflatable Boats Using a User-Centred Design Approach
    (University of Buckingham Press, 2022) Erkarslan, Özlem; Aşıcı, Burçin
    Herein, the importance of design methods for a company’s competence in the commercial world and the importance of integrating design into the product development process in the initial stages are discussed. Notably, driver environments on current boats are not ergonomically designed. Hence, this study aimed at designing a new driver environment with improved ergonomics and user experience that is aesthetically compelling to the market. This study is based on a user-centred design approach, which implies that all team members participate throughout the product development process to create design value for users by crafting innovative solutions that satisfy their requirements. Consequently, a new console, seating unit, and hardtop design that consider the importance of ergonomics, user experience, and manufacturability are developed. These elements are not only integrated in a user-friendly manner but also provide improved maintainability and productibility. © 2022: The Royal Institution of Naval Architects.

    The Impact of Visual Thinking in Medical Education
    (Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2022) Demir, Ayşe Banu; Okuyan, Zuhal; van Eck, Alexander; Mura, Gökhan; Gönlügür, Emre; Karaca, Can; Abacıoğlu, Hakan
    Background Considering medical humanities, medicine and art are two areas that resemble each other at several features. Clinical diagnosis involves the observation, description and interpretation of information of which visual ones take an important one. The skills described are important skills in the field of visual arts, as well. Underlying a good clinical practice; clinical examination and observation skills constitute an important place. Although in several studies, these skills are shown to be improved by analyzing visual art pieces, courses intended to improve visual thinking skills are not that much common in medical faculty curriculums. Materials and methods In this article, we share our opinion about the use of visual thinking in medical education by providing preliminary reflection results of learners from the second year of medical education about the visual thinking course that we have recently started to apply in Faculty of Medicine in collaboration with Faculty of Fine Arts in Izmir University of Economics in order to improve the observational skills of learners. Results Reflection results of the learners support the view that training art-viewing skill is helpful to improve observational and descriptive skills. Conclusions Increasing interdisciplinary programs on visual thinking in medical curriculums have the potential to overcome several professional development challenges in clinics.

    Analysis of Design-Driven Innovation Practices in Turkish and Swedish Furniture Firms: an Exploratory Approach
    (Common Ground Research Networks, 2019) Aydın, Mahmut Ferit; Erkarslan, Önder
    This study explores and analyzes recent design-driven innovation (DDI) practices in the furniture industries in Turkey and Sweden.2 The study was conducted in three phases: an in-depth literature review; the identification and selection of furniture companies; and analysis of the selected companies based on the strategic, operational, market-entry and organizational dimensions. We used case-study methods and conducted semi-structured interviews with designers and design managers of leading furniture companies from Turkey (Nurus, Ersa, Burotime, and Tuna Ofis) and Sweden (Offecct and Skandiform). Through cross-case analysis of national outcomes, we propose additional drivers to DDI theory, such as product segmentation, activity research, culture research and concept/designer research. The results of this study are crucial for all parties involved, as they suggest ways to achieve incremental and radical design-driven innovations. © Common Ground Research Networks, M.

    Symbolic Creativity in Play Activity: a Critique on Playthings From Daily Life Objects To Toys
    (Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2018) Talu, Nilüfer
    Play is an essential activity for children’s development. Children play with daily life objects as well as toys. Daily life with its various objects and practices provides a real freedom for discovery and self-realization. Children celebrate this value through symbolic creativity that flourishes in various play practices, such as symbolic object use, storytelling, animation in special modes of virtualization and actualization, construction with everyday mathematics and puzzling for order in chaos. The study examines a girl’s play activities with daily life things and waste materials between 6 and 8 years of ages. Finally, the study emphasizes that: (1) symbolic creativity is necessary for children’s self-realization and accordingly for their well-being and (2) toys must be selected carefully to stimulate children’s ability to imagine, create and produce.
