Rapid Service Design Method For Services With Robots In Healthcare Facilities Under Covid-19, Satoru Tokkuhisa, Tetsuro Morimoto

ServDes Conference Series

Under the influence of COVID-19, rapid research and design are required for the service design process, and even before COVID-19, there were expectations for the adoption of service robots as an answer to labour shortages in the medical field. Against this background, we developed a method for rapid service design method to organise services with robots under COVID-19. This method aims to achieve rapid service design based on behavioural change by introducing rapid ethnography and behavioural design into the research, analysis, design and evaluation steps. To test this method, we implemented two services in two months. The results of the …

Reconsidering (Service) Design In View Of Systemic Challenges: Insights From A Quantum Theoretical Perspective, Ingo Oswald Karpen, Melis Senova

ServDes Conference Series

(Service) designers must increasingly navigate complex and interconnected challenges in their daily work. In response, new design practices are emerging that are more systemic and strategic in their orientation. However, there is insufficient discussion about, or questioning of, the onto-epistemological foundations of design and their appropriateness in the emerging context. This paper aims to support the service design discipline in its transition towards conceiving of and responding to systemic challenges as entangled phenomena. To do so, we draw on quantum mechanics, specifically a Baradian view, which centres on the notion of entanglement and enactment to understand and navigate the world. …

Detecting Tech-Driven Inequalities: A Service Design Framework, Qiling Long, Dan Mu, Kin Wai Michael Siu, Joseph R. Peissel

ServDes Conference Series

Technological growth is realizing an ever more intelligent and convenient future. But is this future equal, and what role does service design hold in addressing, or exacerbating, these inequalities? The relationship between technology and inequality is fluid, moving from the elimination of existing inequalities to the creation of new ones, and service design has the potential to impact this relationship. However, current literature to identify this potential is limited, with service design’s contribution to the technology-inequality-design nexus not clearly identified. This paper analyses the mutual relationship between technology, inequality, and service design, and proposes a novel framework incorporating four dimensions …

Local Particularities In Regional Social Innovation: A Case Study Of Rural Stay Program In Mungyeong, South Korea, Punyotai Thamjamrassri, Hoyong Kang, Yong-Ki Lee

ServDes Conference Series

Rural decline threatens sustainable development, leading to lower life quality and environmental degradation. To revitalize regional areas and address youth unemployment problems, the Korean government established a Youth Village program to attract young people to rural towns and set up new businesses. A rural town, Mungyeong, was chosen as a case study to investigate its rural stay program, motivations, and outcomes. Based on the report review and preliminary interview with the program organizer, we identify the program’s strengths, weaknesses, and critical success factors. The issues are then examined through a cultural lens to identify cultural and regional differences that may …

Mercy Buckets: Country Music, Southern Fiction, And The Limits Of Rewriting The South, Andy Oler

Study the South

"During World War II, GIs began saying “mercy buckets” as an intentional, joking mispronunciation of the French “merci beaucoup.”1 In the 2011 song “Mercy Buckets,” the southern rock and alt-country band Drive-By Truckers rewrite the phrase’s origin by treating it as an idiom of the American South. As might be expected, however, DBT do not reinforce stereotypical notions of the ignorant southern redneck. Instead, songwriter and lead singer Patterson Hood takes the phrase seriously, explaining just what it would mean if bringing someone “buckets of mercy” were a recognized part of southern culture. . . . In this article, I …

Branding And Designing A Website Mockup For A New Curly Hair Brand, Sophie Isabelle Shif

Graphic Communication

For this project I created a fictitious curly hair brand named Twirl. Twirl’s mission is to make curly hair care fun and easy. I started by making a logo and creating branding guidelines. Next I designed some labels and put them on packaging mockups. I wanted this project to have a UX/UI element so I made a landing page wireframe and then converted it into a mockup that incorporated the branding guidelines and packaging mockup. Throughout the design process I kept the brand’s mission in mind, and prioritized the user’s experience with the products and website.

Mfa Master Project, Owen Pierce

Electronic Theses, Projects, and Dissertations

I am a storyteller.

I just happen to paint, draw and sculpt my stories more often than I write them. Thematically, I gravitate towards stories that speak about ecological and humanitarian concerns. Fantasy illustration is where I can create with the greatest freedom and indulge my love of crafting stories, and also as a form of escapism. As the author

Ursula K. Le Guin quotes, “If the direction of escape is towards freedom, what then is ‘escapism’ an accusation of?” Long running series of programs, films and books attest to this desire to be engaged at a deeper, more meaningful …

Remember The Hand: Manuscription In Early Medieval Iberia, Catherine Brown

Medieval Studies

Remember the Hand studies a body of articulate manuscript books from the Christian monasteries of northern Iberia in the tenth and eleventh centuries. These exceptional, richly illuminated codices have in common an urgent sense of scribal presence—scribes name themselves, describe themselves, even paint their own portraits. While marginal notes, even biographical ones, are a common feature of medieval manuscripts, rarely do scribes make themselves so fully known. These writers address the reader directly, asking for prayers of intercession and sharing of themselves. They ask the reader to join them in not only acknowledging the labor of writing but also in …

The Worlding Of Arabic Literature: Language, Affect, And The Ethics Of Translatability, Anna Ziajka Stanton

Literary Studies

Critics have long viewed translating Arabic literature into English as an ethically fraught process of mediating between two wholly incommensurable languages, cultures, and literary traditions. Today, Arabic literature is no longer “embargoed” from Anglophone cultural spaces, as Edward Said once famously claimed that it was. As Arabic literary works are translated into English in ever-greater numbers, what alternative model of translation ethics can account for this literature’s newfound readability in the hegemonic language of the world literary system?

The Worlding of Arabic Literature argues that an ethical translation of a work of Arabic literature is one that transmits the literariness …

Westerners, Western Power And Polish Society In The Mid-Twentieth Century: The Poznan International Trade Fair As A Complex Frontier, Patryk Babiracki

Cambridge University Press Open Access Agreement Publications-Archive

Drawing on Polish, US, French, British and German archival documents, this article examines the encounters between Western and Polish participants at the International Trade Fair in the Polish city of Poznań in the 1950s and 1960s. Challenging the predominant Cold War framework, it shows that Westerners who came to Poznań drew on power and privilege while pursuing personal interests. Consequently, the author both highlights the self-indulgence of the well-known story about the largely emancipatory motivations of Westerners who became involved with Eastern European affairs in the second half of the twentieth century and demonstrates that the resulting patterns of interactions …

Khazar Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences

During the period between the 8thand10thcenturies, the Khazar Region was one of the economic and trade centers that played a key role in the world. The Northern Silk Road route, which is an important branch of the Silk Road route, passed through the Khazar Region, extended to the Black Sea via the Caucasus, and reached India via the eastern countries. In this period, the Silk Road route passed through the lands under the administration of various Turkish tribes, and the security of the trade routes was provided by the Turks. The geography where the Khazar Khanate was founded was located …

The First Republic Of Azerbaijan: A State Without A Nation, Orkhan Valiyev, Musa Yavuz Alptekin

Including detailed case studies of the World Congress of Families, anti-abortion activism, and the global homeschooling …

An Architectural Riddle: Billy Tripp's Minefield, Frédéric Allamel

Study the South

"The Mindfield, the sculptural environment created by self-taught builder Billy Tripp, is an alternative to architecture, or at least a countermodel that brings a novel perspective to the discipline. Challenging present architectural principles, such as functionality, cost-effectiveness, building techniques, and materials, the Mindfield opens the way to new possibilities. An ever-evolving edifice not designed to be inhabitable, and whose raison d’être emerged late in the building process, the Mindfield positions itself at the antipodes of mainstream architecture, thus enriching the architectural discourse with its innovative experiments. In building the Mindfield, Tripp inaugurates a holistic art where architecture, sculpture, and literature …
