Older adults are both vulnerable to the impacts of climate change and uniquely positioned contribute action. However, their ability willingness engage vary significantly due health disparities, financial constraints, cultural factors. To ensure inclusivity, policies must reflect these differences empower older participate effectively. This research focused on 30 London-based aged 60–85 (18 women, 12 men) selected via purposive sampling stratified by gender awareness. All participants were...
Current demographic trends such as increasing ethnic diversity and the ageing population indicate importance for designers to appreciate assess a wide variety of human capabilities, needs wants.Work is being undertaken within Inclusive Design Research Group investigate how one might effectively communicate range people-based information, not only meeting designer's data requirements but also enhancing empathy with those considered. A real-world case study described illustrate rich user in...
Abstract. Even though dissolved organic carbon (DOC) is the most active (C) cycling in soil (SOC) pools, it receives little attention from global C budget. DOC fluxes are critical to aquatic ecosystem inputs and contribute balance of terrestrial ecosystems, but few models have attempted integrate dynamics into cycling. This study introduces a new process-based model, TRIPLEX-DOC, that capable estimating forest soils by incorporating both ecological drivers biogeochemical processes....
Artificial Intelligence (AI) will provide novel User Experience (UX) solutions if UX designers understand how AI can be best utilized. They need to capabilities and envisage potential applications. To aid the ideation processes, design heuristics for are needed support in conceptual stage. Forty were extracted from 1,755 granted patents through a four-step process. The feasibility of was verified with two AI-powered case studies: smart canteen an online shopping system. Case studies suggest...
Engineering designers often see themselves as 'solution providers', but there is an emerging need to change this mindset towards 'user-led innovation'. Inclusive design, one of the many user-centred design approaches, has potential help students appreciate user capabilities, needs, and expectations: a first step user-led innovation. This paper discusses approaches teaching inclusive at degree levels. A number challenges undergraduate are identified. Three pilot studies illustrated, focusing...
Space heating accounts for almost 60% of the energy delivered to housing which in turn nearly 27% total UK's carbon emissions. This study was conducted investigate influence control design on degree ‘user exclusion’. calculated using Design Exclusion Calculator, developed by Engineering Centre at University Cambridge. To elucidate capability requirements system, a detailed hierarchical task analysis produced, due complexity overall task. The Calculation found that current placed excessive...
Despite the potential benefits of mobile health (mHealth) services and applications, older adults face challenges barriers to adopt mHealth. Published work on opportunities mHealth for aging China has focused trends in its clinical but not adults' perceptions or their processes adoption. In this study, questionnaires interviews were conducted understand adoption China. Conceptual models generated using existing theories refined findings user research. The proposed "pine tree model"...
The relationship between ergonomics and design has great potential for growth in an era of human-centred approaches such as inclusive design. In particular there is further opportunity to foster the disciplines by encouraging ergonomists better visualize present their scientific data turn designers reconsider how they use interpret data. This study aims analyse develop presentation physical ergonomic designers. Specifically, research focuses on understanding anthropometric – which critical...
Abstract With declining vision ability, character spacing and size on smartphones designed for the general population are not accessible older adults. This study aimed to explore how larger Chinese affect adults’ user experience (UX). An orthogonal experiment was conducted. The optimal range of font (FS), word (WS) line (LS) were proposed utilising subjective evaluations investigate correlation eye movement data with participants perceived UX. results showed that improvement in different...
