How to Design an Onboarding Experience for Passive Wearable NFC Payment Devices
No full textThe rapidly increasing popularity in wearables in combination with countries such as Sweden moving towards a cashless society creates a market for wearable payment devices. NFC technology is already used in traditional payment cards to provide contactless payment and is now also being used in other forms such as rings or bracelets to provide smart payment devices. However, despite NFC technology being commonly used consumers are not familiar with using the technology in alternative forms or connecting them with their smartphones. Something that Fidesmo, a Swedish company that provides a platform for wearable payment devices, has observed amongst their users. Fidesmo found that users faced so many problems attempting to link their payment card to their wearable on their own they no longer recommend users attempt this. This thesis aims to investigate this problem and present insights that can be utilized to create an effective onboarding experience. The onboarding experience aims to guide users through the following: connecting wearables to smartphones, linking a payment card to the wearable through the smartphone and how to use the wearable to make payment at a payment terminal. Through research into the field, traditional user research workshops and co-design workshops exploring the existing onboarding experience within Fidesmo’s smartphone application the following insights could be derived: Visualize Information, Thorough Instructions, Building Confidence, Celebrating Success, Locate "Connection Points", Designing the Physical and Relate to the Familiar. These insights are strongly indicated by the results and some are supported by previous research. A high fidelity prototype was designed using these insights to demonstrate how to apply them. During user tests the design proposed showed significant improvements compared to Fidesmo’s current onboarding experience.Det snabbt växande intresset för wearables i kombination med att länder såsom Sverige går mot ett kontantlöst samhälle har skapat en marknad för betallösningar i formen av wearables. NFC teknologi används redan i traditionella betalkort för funktionen kontaktlös betalning och används nu även i andra former såsom ringar eller armband för att tillhandahålla smarta betalningsenheter. Men trots den breda användingen av NFC teknologi så tycks konsumenter inte vara bekanta med att använda tekniken i alternativa former eller att utföra kopplingen med sina smartphones. Detta är något som Fidesmo, ett svenskt företag som erbjuder en plattform för wearable betalningsenheter, upptäckt bland sina användare. Fidesmo fann att sina användare stötte på så pass många problem när de försökte länka sitt betalkort till sin wearable själva att detta inte längre rekommenderas. Detta examensarbete avser att undersöka detta problem och presentera insikter som är ämnade för att skapa en effektiv onboarding upplevelse. Onboarding upplevelsen syftar på att guida användare genom följande moment: koppla wearables till smartphones, länka betalkort till wearables genom smartphones och hur man ska använda denna wearable för att betala vid en kortterminal. Genom forskning kring området, traditionella användarforsknings workshops och co-design workshops som utforskade den befintliga onboarding upplevelsen i Fidesmos smartphone applikation kunde följande insikter anskaffas: Visualicera Information, Nogranna Instruktioner, Bygga Självförtroende, Fira Framgång, Indikera “Anslutningspunkter”, Designa det Fysiska, och Relatera till det Familjära. Dessa Insikter är starkt indikerade av resultatet från denna studie och vissa stöds av tidigare forskning. En high fidelity prototyp var därefter designad baserat på insikterna för att demonstrera hur de kunde appliceras. Under användartester visade den föreslagna designen tecken på en tydlig förbättring i jämförelse med Fidesmos nuvarande onboarding upplevelse
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Automatiskt Generera Frågor för Nationella Provet i Engelsk Läsförståelse
No full textIn recent years the amount of research in automatically generated questions (AQG) have been on the rise. AQG can be applied to many different fields where one such field is education. The Swedish national test (Nationella provet) is a nation wide test in Sweden that can take 1,5 to 2 years to create. This report aims to investigate if humans are able to distinguish questions written by humans from questions generated by computer as well as if AQG can be used to create exam questions for the Swedish national test. The results showed that the participants within the study were able to identify the generated questions in a majority of cases. In conclusion the general public is in most cases able to identify automatically generated questions but further research must be made on the generated questions educational value within the Swedish national test.På senare år har mängden forskning inom automatiskt genererade frågor varit på uppgång. Automatiskt genererade frågor kan appliceras på många olika områden där utbildning är en av dessa områden. Det svenska Nationella provet är ett prov på nationell nivå i Sverige som tar 1,5 till 2 år att skapa. Denna rapport ämnar undersöka om människor kan särskilja frågor skrivna av människor från frågor genererade av datorer samt att om frågor till Nationella provet kan genereras automatiskt. Resultaten visar att deltagarna i studien kunde identifiera frågorna som var genererade av en dator i en majoritet av fallen. Slutsatsen som kan dras är då att allmänheten i de flesta fall kan särskilja på frågor genererade av en dator men att mer forskning krävs för att avgöra om de genererade frågorna har ett utbildningsvärde i Nationella provet
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
