Pohledy zaměstnance na použitelnosti elektronických záznamů (EPR) pro plánování péče o lidi s demencí v pečovatelských domech: komparativní případová studie Summary of the dissertation Author: Mgr. Kate Shiells Supervisor: Doc. MUDr. Iva Holmerová, Ph.D. 2 Prague 2020 Přehled Pobytová zařízení poskytující péči seniorům (care homes, nursing homes) využívají stále častěji elektronické záznamy ('electronic patient records' nebo 'EPR'), k řízení dokumentace. Potenciální výhody EPR jsou: archivace informací; interoperabilita; lepší kvalita dokumentace. Nicméně využívání EPR v pečovatelských domech se v jednotlivých zemích liší. Mnohdy je ztíženo nekompatibilitou některých systémů s tímto prostředím. Navíc s EPR pro plánování péče o lidi s demencí není dostatek zkušeností. Cíl tohoto výzkumu je vypracovat doporučení pro budoucí vývoj EPR systémů pro plánování péče o lidi s demencí. Budou uskutečněny celkem čtyři případové studie čtyř pečovatelských domů v Belgii, České Republice, Španělsku a Anglii. Výzkum má dvě součásti: (i) zaprvé bude provedeno kvalitativní šetření mezi zaměstnanci ('contextual inquiry' ) s cílem zjistit í problémy spojené s využíváním EPR.

Staff perspectives on the usability of Electronic Patient Records for planning and delivering dementia care in nursing homes: a multiple case study Summary of the dissertation Author: Mgr. Kate Shiells Supervisor: Doc. MUDr. Iva Holmerová, Ph.D. Prague 2020 2 Abstract Nursing homes are more frequently turning to the electronic patient record (EPR) to manage documentation. Potential benefits associated with EPR include the storage of longitudinal information, interoperability, and improved documentation quality. However, the uptake of EPR in nursing homes has varied considerably across countries, which has been associated with the incompatibility of some EPR systems with this environment. Furthermore, the suitability of EPR for planning dementia care is largely unknown. This study aims to produce recommendations for the future development of EPR systems for use in the assessment and care planning for people with dementia in nursing homes. Case studies of three nursing homes using EPR in Belgium, Czech Republic, and Spain were conducted. There are two elements to the study: (i) the contextual inquiry method is employed to explore usability issues with different types of end users. Data is analysed using qualitative...Doktorský obor Studia dlouhověkostiPh.D. - Longevity StudiesFakulta humanitních studiíFaculty of Humanitie

Bariéry přechodu z iPhone na Google Pixel: Kvalitativní Studie
No full textThe research study maps out the main barriers of switching from iPhone to Google Pixel faced by Millennial iPhone users. Based on four focus groups with iPhone users conducted before and after using Pixel for two weeks the author identified that iPhone users are satisfied with iPhone but they are on daily basis dealing with several issues, such as lack of internal storage. Although the experience of using Pixel exceeded users’ expectations, it was not strong enough to convince them to consider switching to Pixel. The main barriers of switching revealed by the research are: a brand loyalty, risk aversion, synchronisation of iOS ecosystem, and a design of the hardware. The research showed multiple differences between the switching barriers faced by female and male iPhone users, such as the size of the device. In the end, managerial recommendations for marketing strategy of Pixel were provided.Cílem této práce je zmapovat bariéry přechodu z iPhone na Google Pixel. Na základě čtyř focus group vedených před a po zkušenosti s používáním Pixel telefonu autor shrnul, že uživatelé mobilního telefonu iPhone jsou s ním do určité míry spokojeni. Na denní bázi se ale také potýkají s problémy jako je například nedostatek vnitřního úložiště. I přes to, že zkušenost s používáním Pixel telefonu předčila očekávání respondentů, stále nebyla na tolik pozitivní, aby je přiměla zvažovat k přechodu z iPhone na Google Pixel. Na základě dat této studie autor shrnul čtyři základní bariéry přechodu z iPhone na Google Pixel: věrnost značce, averze vůči riziku, synchronizace v rámci iOS ekosystému a design telefonu. V závěru práce autor představil základní doporučení pro management marketingového oddělení společnosti Google

Sites of action. An investigation of performance painting and spectatorship
No full textThis practice-based research sets out to explore modes of address and spectatorship in relation to contemporary painting. Taking as its point of departure Michael Fried’s Absorption and Theatricality: Painting and Beholder in the Age of Diderot (1980), I question whether painting can be performative without becoming theatrical and what this means for spectatorship specifically.Throughout, I aim to establish the contemporary conditions required for painting to firstly be sincere (non-theatrical) and secondly to ‘activate’ the spectator (as well as itself) and thus become ‘performative’. In this way something gets done (J.L.Austin) as opposed to just being described and a reality is changed. I have undertaken detailed research into ‘theatricality’ and ‘performativity’ as concepts, the latter possessing the potential to give power to the artwork and viewer simultaneously, thus enabling both the artwork and spectator to be at once ‘activated’. This sits in opposition to traditionally passive object/subject models of spectatorship. I utilise ideas of ‘action’ throughout the process of my research. The action-reflection spiral constitutes a large part of my method and I also intend for it to be transparent in the outcome of the research i.e the artworks and their consequent agency.Chapter one focuses on theatricality with particular emphasis on Michael Fried’s book Absorption and Theatricality: Painting and Beholder in the Age of Diderot (1980), which is used to scaffold the structure of my argument. I break down his argument into three key terms: ‘absorption’, ‘theatricality’ and ‘tableau’ and discuss them in relation to the paintings, collages and assemblages in my 2011 show titled My Brother is a Hairy Man. Chapter Two involves a discussion of my second 2012 exhibition titled, The King of Hearts Has No Moustache, in relation to performativity (Dorothea von Hantlemann) and networks (David Joselit) within gallery contexts. I unpack this discussion of performativity through the individual discussion of the two exhibition spaces (the front room and back room). In Chapter Three I focus predominantly on spectatorship’s potential for performativity with particular focus on Alfred Gell’s anthropological theory of art. I consider this theory of social agency in relation to my 2013 exhibition Escape The Esplanade which addressed the dichotomy between the spectacle and the spectator, reversing the traditional roles in the process.Through a renegotiation and expansion of the term tableau I conclude a framework was put in place from which the spectator could be ‘absorbed’ and activated in larger exhibition environments. In addition, networked displays of painting, engendered collective sociability and many-to-one (as opposed to one-to-one) performatives, as was demonstrated by the installation of the back room of the second exhibition. This more ‘plural’ performativity ultimately resulted in more ‘activated’ spectators. Finally through an inversion of traditional modes of address in Escape the Esplanade the spectator simultaneously became the spectacle and the artworks spectators. In this way painting, and spectatorship became performative whilst evading theatricality

Axiom
No full textAxiom was created during Acts:ReActs 4 residency in at Wimbledon College of Arts, London in 2017.
In the residency Kate Lane & Joe Wild turned the gallery into a performance making machine in the final sharing of the residency.
Documentation from the final performance sharing was selected as part of the Society of British Theatre Designers exhibition 'Staging Places' at the V&A in 2019-2020
Axiom was a research project between Joe Wild and Kate Lane. The ‘Performance Machine’ explored multi-platform performance using unities of time, space, body and text to generate an alternative authorship for performance generating. It was a transformative space moulded to the body of the performer, distorting and hiding parts, while extending and framing others.
Each performance was shaped by the performers body and their relationship with the piece from the sound recorded (through a contact mic inside the costume) and then played out via speakers on the performer; the piece shaping and restricting the performers body through the rhizomatic constructed pattern. The digital laser projector live fed the performers experience and/ or the audience is invited to superimpose themselves onto the performer.
In this research we explored and experimented on deconstructing the human body, distorting the lines between the intimate and private, and narcissistic self-reflection and self-projection. It looked to question the performers body as author and played with post-dramatic aspects of time/ space/ body and media through game playing, performance and creation of objects. It involved into a series of performance and participatory games inviting the audience to interact physically either live or virtually through telematic performance
