In this paper I advance the theory of critical communication design by exploring the politics of data, information and knowledge visualisation in three bodies of work. Data reflects power relations, special interests and ideologies that determine which data is collected, what data is used and how it is used. In a review of Max Roser’s Our World in Data, I develop the concepts of digital positivism, datawash and darkdata. Looking at the Climaps by Emaps project, I describe how knowledge visualisation can support integrated learning on complex problems and nurture relational perception. Finally, I present my own Mapping Climate Communication project and explain how I used discourse mapping to develop the concept of discursive confusion and illustrate contradictions in this politicised area. Critical approaches to information visualisation reject reductive methods in favour of more nuanced ways of presenting information that acknowledge complexity and the political dimension on issues of controversy.

My research permitted me to reexamine my recent evaluations of the Leaf Project given to the Foundation Year students during the fall semester of 1997. My personal description of the drawing curriculum formed part of the matrix of the Foundation Core Studies at the Ontario College of Art and Design. Research was based on the random selection of 1 8 students distributed over six of my teaching groups. The entire process included a representation of all grade levels. The intent of the research was to provide a pattern of alternative insights that could provide a more meaningful method of evaluation for visual learners in an art education setting. Visual methods of learning are indeed complex and involve the interplay of many sensory modalities of input. Using a qualitative method of research analysis, a series of queries were proposed into a structured matrix grid for seeking out possible and emerging patterns of learning. The grid provided for interrelated visual and linguistic analysis with emphasis in reflection and interconnectedness. Sensory-based modes of learning are currently being studied and discussed amongst educators as alternative approaches to learning. As patterns emerged from the research, it became apparent that a paradigm for evaluation would have to be a progressive profile of the learning that would take into account many of the different and evolving learning processes of the individual. A broader review of the student's entire development within the Foundation Year Program would have to have a shared evaluation through a cross section of representative faculty in the program. The results from the research were never intended to be conclusive. We realized from the start that sensory-based learning is a difficult process to evaluate from traditional standards used in education. The potential of such a process of inquiry permits the researcher to ask for a set of queries that might provide for a deeper form of evaluation unique to the students and their related learning environment. Only in this context can qualitative methods be used to profile their learning experiences in an expressive and meaningful manner.

Im Rahmen der Arbeit wird ein Unterrichtskonzept für den Leistungskurs Stochastik in der gymnasialen Oberstufe vorgestellt, bei welchem Computersimulationen und Lernumgebungen mit der Software FATHOM über das gesamte Kurshalbjahr unterstützend eingesetzt werden. Der experimentelle Zugang zur Wahrscheinlichkeit ergänzt den theoretischen Zugang und soll im Sinn eines handlungsorientierten Lernens die Motivation der Schülerinnen und Schüler fördern. Das Unterrichtskonzept enthält drei Schwerpunktsetzungen: • Einstieg in den Stochastikkurs mit Simulationen • Binomialverteilung • Das Testen von Hypothesen Die Arbeit konzentriert sich in der Darstellung und der Analyse auf den Einstieg in den Stochastikkurs mit Simulationen und computergestützten Lernumgebungen. Der Erwerb der Simulations- und Fathomkompetenzen in der Einstiegsphase wird auf inhaltlicher Seite verknüpft mit dem Wahrscheinlichkeitsbegriff, mit dem Gesetz der großen Zahl, sowie mit weiteren stochastischen Grundlagen. Das Unterrichtskonzept zum Einstieg in das Kurshalbjahr Stochastik wird ausführlich vorgestellt, zu den beiden anderen genannten Schwerpunkten werden die entwickelten Unterrichtskonzepte knapp erläutert. Die ausführlich kommentierten Unterrichtsmaterialien zu allen drei Schwerpunkten sind als Band 2 der KaDiSto-Schriftenreihe publiziert. Im Rahmen unterrichtlicher Erprobungen wurden verschiedene empirische Untersuchungen durchgeführt. Bei diesen Untersuchungen liegt ein Schwerpunkt auf der Transkriptanalyse von Videos des Bildschirmgeschehens und der simultan hierzu aufgenommenen verbalen Kommunikation während der Schülerarbeitsphasen am Computer. Diese Videos ermöglichen tiefer gehende Einblicke in die Kompetenzentwicklung der Schülerinnen und Schüler, in auftretende Probleme bei der Erstellung der Computersimulationen und in den Umgang der Schülerinnen und Schüler mit den Aufgabenstellungen. Die Analyse ausgewählter Transkriptausschnitte wird eingebettet in die Schilderung des Unterrichtsverlaufs auf der Basis von Unterrichtsprotokollen. Weiter wird die Bearbeitung einer komplexen Simulationsaufgabe in einer notenrelevanten Klausur nach Abschluss der Einstiegsphase analysiert. Es werden die Ergebnisse eines Eingangstests vor Beginn der Einstiegsphase und eines Ausgangstests im Anschluss an die Einstiegsphase geschildert. Ergänzend werden die Ergebnisse einer Schülerbefragung vorgestellt. Zum Abschluss der Arbeit wird eine Gesamtbetrachtung des Unterrichtskonzepts vorgenommen, bei der die Stärken aber auch zentrale Probleme des Konzepts beschrieben und teilweise verallgemeinert werden. Aus diesen Betrachtungen werden weitere Entwicklungsmöglichkeiten des geschilderten Projekts abgeleitet. Die Arbeit verfolgt einen stark unterrichtspraktischen Ansatz. Das methodische Vorgehen ist im Bereich einer Design-Research-Studie angesiedelt. Der Autor selber ist Lehrer an dem Kasseler Oberstufengymnasium Jacob-Grimm-Schule und hat über einen längeren Zeitraum im Rahmen einer Abordnung in der Arbeitsgruppe Mathematik-Didaktik der Universität Kassel mitgearbeitet. Die Arbeit stellt die Dissertation des Verfassers dar, die an der Universität Kassel von Prof. Dr. Rolf Biehler betreut wurde. Sie ist identisch mit der Erstveröffentlichung 2008 im Franzbecker Verlag, Hildesheim, der der elektronischen Veröffentlichung im Rahmen von KaDiSto zugestimmt hat

The increasing burden of emerging infectious diseases worldwide confronts us with numerous challenges, including the imperative to design research and responses that are commensurate to understanding the complex social and ecological contexts in which infectious diseases occur. A diverse group of scientists met in Hawaii in March 2005 to discuss the linked social and ecological contexts in which infectious diseases emerge. A subset of the meeting was a group that focused on ‘‘transdisciplinary approaches’’ to integrating knowledge across and beyond academic disciplines in order to improve prevention and control of emerging infections. This article is based on the discussions of that group. Here, we outline the epidemiological legacy that has dominated infectious disease research and control up until now, and introduce the role of new, transdisciplinary and systems-based approaches to emerging infectious diseases.Wedescribe four cases of transboundary health issues and use them to discuss the potential benefits, as well as the inherent difficulties, in understanding the social–ecological contexts in which infectious diseases occur and of using transdisciplinary approaches to deal with them.

Clinical pathway is an approach to standardise care processes to support the implementations of clinical guidelines and protocols. It is designed to support the management of treatment processes including clinical and non-clinical activities, resources and also financial aspects. It provides detailed guidance for each stage in the management of a patient with the aim of improving the continuity and coordination of care across different disciplines and sectors. However, in the practical treatment process, the lack of knowledge sharing and information accuracy of paper-based clinical pathways burden health-care staff with a large amount of paper work. This will often result in medical errors, inefficient treatment process and thus poor quality medical services. This paper first presents a theoretical underpinning and a co-design research methodology for integrated pathway management by drawing input from organisational semiotics. An approach to integrated clinical pathway management is then proposed, which aims to embed pathway knowledge into treatment processes and existing hospital information systems. The capability of this approach has been demonstrated through the case study in one of the largest hospitals in China. The outcome reveals that medical quality can be improved significantly by the classified clinical pathway knowledge and seamless integration with hospital information systems.

Cyclic imides have been widely employed in drug design research due to their multiple pharmacological and biological properties. In the present study, two-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship (2D QSAR) studies were conducted on a series of potent analgesic cyclic imides using both classical and hologram QSAR (HQSAR) methods, yielding significant statistical models (classical QSAR, q(2) = 0.80; HQSAR, q(2) = 0.84). The models were then used to evaluate an external data test, and the predicted values were in good agreement with the experimental results, indicating their consistency for untested compounds.

Today’s e-services are complex phenomenon consisting of several different e-services linked together. The e-services are provided by IT systems and presented to customers through user interfaces. Within web design research criteria are laid out for the design of good user interfaces, but one problem is that these analyses are performed without a service focus. This lack of service focus can result in the designed user interfaces providing indistinct service concepts, especially where several e-services are intertwined with each other.In order to design IT system interfaces, we have to be clear about which e-services are provided by the IT system and how these e-services are related to each other. This paper presents a framework for the analysis of user interfaces in terms of focused e-service, service environment and two types of intertwined e-services; related e-services and interrelating e-services. The analyses are exemplified by an Internet based e-marketplace. The paper discusses how the framework can be combined with ordinary web design criteria and how it can be used for e-service development.
