Existing pharmacy services predominantly rely on manual processes, which cause inconvenience for the community. To address this issue and cater to the needs of the community, a comprehensive survey was conducted that involved 41 residents. The survey findings not only provide insights into the needs of the community but also serve as a foundation for tailoring electronic services to this specific demographic. Considering the survey results, we further introduced “MoulPharmacy”, an accessible online platform designed to streamline the purchase of over-the-counter medications. The main goal of “MoulPharmacy” is to bridge the gap between consumers and local pharmacies by providing a user-friendly interface for seamless medication procurement. This platform enables local citizens to order medications effortlessly, with the added convenience of doorstep delivery. To understand the perceptions and potential adoption factors of “MoulPharmacy” in countries with limited digital capabilities, we conducted a user study with 20 Moroccan citizens to explore aspects such as website aesthetics, ease of use, and the overall purchasing process. A synthesis of the results of both the survey and the user study, reveals that this research contributes to a nuanced understanding of the unique requirements of citizens in countries with digital challenges. “MoulPharmacy” not only addresses practical challenges faced by residents but also sets a precedent for future developments in online pharmacy-related platforms designed for countries with limited digital capabilities.

However, there is an urgent need to challenge and advance the archetypal role of design from inadvertently embodying and perpetuating dominant narratives, to instead becoming a proactive, critical, and generative agent responsible for uncovering, interrogating, speculating, and scaling a diversity of narrative ‘sources’ and ‘statuses’ within the design process and beyond. In this article, narratives and their neighboring concepts are explored across various disciplines before the state and impact of narratives within user-centered design contexts are discussed. A ‘Narrative Matrix’ is outlined, and a Conceptual Framework is proposed which frames design as an agent of narratives through three strategic narrative stages: (1) acknowledgement and capture, (2) negotiation and speculation, and (3) embedding and scaling. The implications and possibilities for incorporating narratives in design and innovation processes are discussed, covering the potential to amplify marginalized voices, advance equality, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) in design practice, and bring about systemic change and transformative impact.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100031,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Design Research","volume":"2 1","pages":"Pages 37-44"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2949782524000136/pdfft?md5=527a503ccb5c4b01066739a8e68c6abf&pid=1-s2.0-S2949782524000136-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141962850","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Once visual fatigue symptoms set in, the limited space of the closed cabin and its monotonous visual environment make it challenging to alleviate visual fatigue by disregarding the fatigue. Fifteen healthy male participants aged 20–25 years were recruited for the study, and the results were statistically significant. The fatigue recovery degrees under three lighting color temperatures (3000 K, 4500 K, and 6000 K) and three recovery durations (5 min, 10 min, and 15 min) in a closed cabin were studied. The visual fatigue scale and the Karolinska Sleepiness Scale were employed to collect subjective fatigue data from the participants, while objective visual fatigue data were obtained using an eye tracker. After 5 min of rest, the rate of change in pupil diameter at low temperatures was significantly greater than that at high temperatures (<em>P</em> = 0.033). The results indicated that recovery under the 3000 K light environment was beneficial for alleviating and eliminating visual fatigue, while a 6000 K light environment helped improve the alertness of VDT operators. Recovery time significantly impacted the recovery degree of visual fatigue, with the recovery degree increasing as recovery time increased. Color temperature and recovery time interacted significantly (<em>P</em> = 0.011), and the light environment parameters showed a significant impact only at short recovery times.
