However, in specifically targeted application design planning, the designer community is not always able to consider and analyze every factor. This paper proposes an integrated nonlinear design that incorporates the KANO model as well as a mathematical model of sensible engineering coupled with design science. The application of different design solutions in different types of households is evaluated after dividing the different types of living of elderly households into specific situations. The results show that for elderly households of type 1 versus 4, scenario 2 generally has more accurate application feasibility compared to scenario 1. The maximum increase in application accuracy for Scenario 2 compared to Scenario 1 was 6.28%. However, the frequency of use decreased by 3.09%. And for elderly households of type 2 and 3, which tend to live alone, the feasibility of application of scenario 2 is similar or even worse than that of scenario 1. The improved Scenario 3 both have higher application feasibility than Scenarios 1 and 2 and has a more user-friendly visual aid to understand the design, which helps the elderly group to better use the smart home service terminal system.","PeriodicalId":143630,"journal":{"name":"3C Tecnología","volume":"325 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135842506","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This record is usually updated in a resume, portfolio, or an online database, such as Google Scholar, Research Gate, or LinkedIn. The purpose of this article is to present a metric comparison between Google Scholar and Research Gate for rated scientists who are employed at universities of technology in South Africa. This may help to establish notable similarities or differences between rated scientists from specific universities and identify which platform they prefer to maintain their publication records. A snapshot quantitative study is used where the total number of citations, h-index values, and Research Gate scores were collected and analyzed. Results indicate that Research Gate has the highest number of authors present from the six universities of technology, with Google Scholar recording the highest number of h-index values for these authors. Only 134 out of the 181 (sample size) authors maintain their records on both databases. It is recommended that researchers in higher education use at least one online database to maintain a record of their publications, thereby enhancing the visibility of the research done at a university and enabling a more valid snapshot of the performance achieved by each researcher.","PeriodicalId":143630,"journal":{"name":"3C Tecnología","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135842681","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
