The InterActive Choice Aid: A new approach to supporting online consumer decision making

Interactive Choice Aid (ICA) is a decision aid, introduced in this paper, that systematically assists consumers with online purchase decisions. ICA integrates aspects from prescriptive decision theory, insights from descriptive decision research, and practical considerations; thereby combining pre-existing best practices with novel features. Instead of imposing an objectively ideal but unnatural decision procedure on the user, ICA assists the natural process of human decision-making by providing explicit support for the execution of the user's decision strategies. The application contains an innovative feature for in-depth comparisons of alternatives through which users' importance ratings are elicited interactively and in a playful way. The usability and general acceptance of the choice aid was studied; results show that ICA is a promising contribution and provides insights that may further improve its usability.

Desenvolvimento de revistas científicas em mídia digital: o caso da Revista Produção Online

O artigo descreve a elaboração do primeiro periódico científico, em mídia digital, da área de engenharia de produção a revista científica Produção Online, do Curso de Pós-graduação da Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina. Explicitam-se as ações desenvolvidas para sua manutenção, como instrumento de comunicação científica em suporte digital. Relata-se todo o processo de produção científica, desde o recebimento do artigo até sua publicação eletrônica. Chama-se a atenção para a proposta de oferecer à comunidade científica uma revista eletrônica, com baixos custos em relação à publicação em meio impresso, possibilitando a divulgação das pesquisas científicas em tempo real, e ao mesmo tempo oferecer mecanismos eletrônicos que agilizem o processo de submissão, avaliação e leitura dos artigos, facilitando a rápida circulação do conhecimento científico.

Emotionale Offenheit: Ein neues Modell in Forschung und Praxis

Jeder Mensch hat seine eigene Art, Emotionen, Gefühle und Stimmungen zu erleben und zu verarbeiten. Die verschiedenen emotionalen Zustände und die Formen ihrer Verarbeitung spannen sich über ein komplexes Kontinuum: sie umfassen unsere schönsten persönlichen Erlebnisse, können aber auch wichtige psychologische Probleme zum Ausdruck bringen. Diese Komplexität wird in der Psychologie, aber auch in anderen Wissenschaften, stärker denn je diskutiert und stellt eine große Herausforderung für Diagnostik und Intervention dar.«Emotionale Offenheit» wird als mehrdimensionaler Ansatz vorgestellt, um der Spannbreite der Emotionsverarbeitung gerecht zu werden und den Herausforderungen in Diagnostik und Intervention im klinischen Kontext zu begegnen.Der beiliegenden Fragebogen und eine Reihe von Anwendungsbeispielen machen aus dem Buch auch ein Instrument für die Praxis.

Online teaching of inflammatory skin pathology by a French-speaking International University Network

INTRODUCTION: Developments in technology, web-based teaching and whole slide imaging have broadened the teaching horizon in anatomic pathology. Creating online learning material including many types of media such as radiologic images, whole slides, videos, clinical and macroscopic photographs, is now accessible to most universities. Unfortunately, a major limiting factor to maintain and update the learning material is the amount of resources needed. In this perspective, a French-national university network was initiated in 2011 to build joint online teaching modules consisting of clinical cases and tests. The network has since expanded internationally to Québec, Switzerland and Ivory Coast. METHOD: One of the first steps of the project was to build a learning module on inflammatory skin pathology for interns and residents in pathology and dermatology. A pathology resident from Québec spent 6 weeks in France and Switzerland to develop the contents and build the module on an e-learning Moodle platform under the supervision of two dermatopathologists. The learning module contains text, interactive clinical cases, tests with feedback, virtual slides, images and clinical photographs. For that module, the virtual slides are decentralized in 2 universities (Bordeaux and Paris 7). Each university is responsible of its own slide scanning, image storage and online display with virtual slide viewers. RESULTS: The module on inflammatory skin pathology includes more than 50 web pages with French original content, tests and clinical cases, links to over 45 virtual images and more than 50 microscopic and clinical photographs. The whole learning module is being revised by four dermatopathologists and two senior pathologists. It will be accessible to interns and residents in the spring of 2014. The experience and knowledge gained from that work will be transferred to the next international resident whose work will be aimed at creating lung and breast pathology learning modules. CONCLUSION: The challenges of sustaining a project of this scope are numerous. The technical aspect of whole-slide imaging and storage needs to be developed by each university or group. The content needs to be regularly updated and its accuracy reviewed by experts in each individual domain. The learning modules also need to be promoted within the academic community to ensure maximal benefit for trainees. A collateral benefit of the project was the establishment of international partnerships between French-speaking universities and pathologists with the common goal of promoting pathology education through the use of multi-media technology including whole slide imaging.

Els usos d'internet, les xarxes socials i els jocs online, concretament els MMORPG

L’objectiu d’aquest treball és descriure els riscos i les possibilitats d’Internet i les Web 2.0 i la importància de com utilitzem Internet, les xarxes socials i els jocs de rol massius en línia (MMORPG). A la recerca han participat 34 estudiants universitaris, els quals han respost un qüestionari per determinar els usos, abusos, les conductes de risc i la possible addicció a Internet o a alguna aplicació 2.0. Per últim, hi ha una proposta de disseny d’un projecte per a la sensibilització d’educadors/es socials entorn d’aquestes eines.
