Care services, that value “personhood” of individuals, should be\u0000 designed based on a person-centered principle[1]. We aim to develop an\u0000 online rehabilitation exercise service that utilizes the ICT but is based on\u0000 the principle. This paper reports a trial of intervention experiment of the\u0000 online rehabilitation exercise, which was conducted as a 12-time event for\u0000 three months. A subject, a female in 78 years old with left hemiplegia who\u0000 desires more rehabilitation opportunities, joined about 45-minute online\u0000 exercise sessions in addition to regular outpatient rehabilitations. She\u0000 exercised by watching a model exercise on a tablet screen that is connected\u0000 to the nursing facility. The model exercises were performed by an\u0000 occupational therapist for the first four times and by on-site care workers\u0000 for the rest. A manual with notes on exercise instruction was distributed to\u0000 the workers. The instructor change and the manual are for the future regular\u0000 operation of the service. The exercises were designed for not only the\u0000 recovery of her arm and fingers on the affected side but also her\u0000 rehabilitation goal of being able to cook again since a goal setting is\u0000 important[2]. For risk management, the exercises were limited to those\u0000 performed in a sitting position and her burden was confirmed before, during,\u0000 and after the exercise. The exercise design was tentatively determined based\u0000 on information from a manager of the nursing facility and from an interview\u0000 with her. After that, the exercise load was adjusted according to her\u0000 response in trial sessions by the occupational therapist. As a result of\u0000 physical function measurements, questionnaires, and interviews, there was no\u0000 improvement in physical functions, but an effect of her self-disclosure was\u0000 confirmed.[1] Kitwood, T. and Bredin, K.

HF/E applies\u0000 theory, principles, data and methods in design to optimize human well-being\u0000 and overall system performance. International Ergonomics Association (IEA)\u0000 has defined HF/E specialists core competencies as foundation knowledge, HF/E\u0000 measurement and analysis skills, HF/E evaluation skills, HF/E recommendation\u0000 skills, HF/E implementation skills, scientific skills, and professional\u0000 behavior. In addition, Centre for Registration of European Ergonomists\u0000 (CREE) has defined European Ergonomists as professionals who are experienced\u0000 in using knowledge from the areas of anatomy, physiology, psychology, social\u0000 organization and the physical environment to design work systems, structures\u0000 and activities to optimize human performance and well-being. However, in\u0000 public discussion and in generic understanding, it is not clear what HF/E or\u0000 ergonomics means nor who are HF/E specialists or ergonomists, what do they\u0000 do and where do they work.This study aims to contribute to the above\u0000 presented discussion. A questionnaire was conducted to collect\u0000 internationally HF/E experts' (n = 8) opinions on proactive designing of\u0000 work and work environments. Beside the questionnaire, to gain the same\u0000 understanding nationally, qualitative interviews for Finnish professionals\u0000 (n = 9) were conducted with a semi-structured interview form. The questions\u0000 in both phases were based on a handbook, “People in designing work and the\u0000 working environment - a handbook for the proactive planning of work and\u0000 design of working environments” (later “handbook”), commissioned by the\u0000 Finnish Ministry of Social Affairs and Health. The handbook aimed to offer\u0000 tools for proactive planning of work and designing working environments. In\u0000 this study, related to the questionnaire, the focus is on the questions\u0000 “What is your image about who are doing the planning of work and design of\u0000 work environment at workplaces?”, “Who are responsible for taking care that\u0000 all needed actions for planning and designing the work will be done?”, “Who\u0000 are responsible for the whole process (designing of work)?”, “Who are\u0000 responsible for the needed knowledge (designing of work)?”, and “How would\u0000 you define the role and tasks of a HFE professional in this kind of process\u0000 (designing of work)?”. Related to interviews, the focus is on the generic\u0000 views and comments about the design process and the roles in it, inspired by\u0000 the discussion about the handbook. The materials were analyzed by\u0000 categorization.In the interviews, the overall opinion was that there is no\u0000 clear picture of who actually is an HF/E specialist, how it is defined and\u0000 who are they specifically in Finland, which may lead to false impressions.","PeriodicalId":231376,"journal":{"name":"Human Systems Engineering and Design (IHSED 2023): Future Trends\n and Applications","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125014710","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}

Aspects from user research, technology development and business\u0000 models must be weighed against each other and to be optimized as holistic\u0000 concept. For future product design those three dimensions seems to be not\u0000 sufficient any more as the sustainable impact from products regarding their\u0000 production, usage and end of life, becomes an important factor in\u0000 development processes. The so-called circular economy, that describes the\u0000 goal of a most efficient use of resources and products in closed loops,\u0000 brings with it totally new requirements for products and their development.\u0000 Already the traditional innovation design should have been understood as a\u0000 joint task of market researchers, engineers, business planers and designers,\u0000 but the arising challenge of the development objectively sustainable\u0000 products needs that interdisciplinary thinking even more. New frameworks,\u0000 tools and method that allow the interdisciplinary exchange in an effective\u0000 way to enable the creation of joint visions and concepts are needed. While\u0000 the traditional three fields of product design as described by Tim Brown can\u0000 be showed in two-dimensional frameworks as three overlapping circles, the\u0000 addition of sustainability as fourth design field needs more complex\u0000 visualization that brings the different aspects in relation to each other.\u0000 For solving that task and for creating a new tool as core for\u0000 interdisciplinary, circular economy oriented design projects, we developed\u0000 and evaluated a three-dimensional framework – the tetrahedron of\u0000 sustainability design. The critical aspect of integrating the circular\u0000 economy as a decision parameter into innovation processes arises through the\u0000 facts that target conflicts will come up that can not be solved in an easy\u0000 way as product individual lifetimes must be taken into consideration.\u0000 Therefore, the main goal of the framework is to motivate discussions of\u0000 different disciplines and their decisions regarding to the effecting\u0000 influence on other design fields. It is created as tangible\u0000 three-dimensional object as anchor point for workshops and individual\u0000 considerations. The tetrahedron of sustainability designs shows the four\u0000 fields of future product design as equilateral pyramid with triangular\u0000 bases, with each design field representing one of the bases. The corners of\u0000 the pyramid, each closed by three of the design fields, are defined as four\u0000 main levers of sustainable product concepts. At the top of the pyramid, the\u0000 central value proposition that can be described as a set of abstract value\u0000 elements that should be fulfilled by the product, must be thought by\u0000 reflecting the customers (desirability), the business model (viability) as\u0000 well as the sustainability effects (integrity).

From the growing of population inhabiting urban areas, natural\u0000 disasters, and a pandemic context, built environment disclosers its impact\u0000 in human experience. Based on the concepts of human centred design and\u0000 social and cultural sustainability, urban solutions have been developing to\u0000 improve and qualify user experience. The layout of public and private spaces\u0000 has been challenged in its formal configuration, dimensions, and equipment,\u0000 by means of research, available data, and the success of some practices.\u0000 This movement has been beneficial to city centres, but it is expanding to\u0000 dwelling peripheries, boosting multifunctionalities and solutions oriented\u0000 to human requirements and expectancies answering to a need well recognised\u0000 and experienced during the pandemic context.Despite the changes and the good\u0000 examples, colour as a vital parameter of visual communication, is still\u0000 neglected and applied as a simple aesthetic component. Repeatedly, the\u0000 chromatic palettes are based on (inter)national fashion trends, disregarding\u0000 the geography, climate, and culture of the place. Colour focus and/or blur\u0000 our attention, while emphasising and/or disguising an element in its\u0000 context, organising the space, aiding in orientation while communicating\u0000 messages and symbols that illustrate the identity of the place and the\u0000 community. Colour has the ability of challenge the perception of the volumes\u0000 - despite their nature and scale – and spaces regarding their formal shape,\u0000 proportions, visual weight, and texture. Furthermore, colour as an element\u0000 of urban environment, expresses the hierarchy of the elements and their\u0000 order in the environmental composition with respect to function, structure,\u0000 etc. Furthermore, colour defines how individuals visually experience the\u0000 environ, and as a medium it gives significance, emotional attitude, and\u0000 functional information, emerging as a crucial attribute in human perception\u0000 of the built environment.Numerous reasons can justify the repeated\u0000 negligence in the use of colour in urban environ: the fear of using colour,\u0000 unawareness, (or lack of skills) about how to use it, the copy of\u0000 international and/or awarded models, and the use of finishing materials and\u0000 colour tendencies, among others. However, this is a common reality for\u0000 designers and architects, which sets the hypothesis of these professionals\u0000 are unaware of the roles performed by colour and its impact in human daily\u0000 living, while experiencing environments, products, and communication\u0000 systems.The aim of this research paper is to raise the discussion regarding\u0000 the way colour is neglected in the design of urban space although its\u0000 importance to define the user experience.

For a long time, it was believed that natural and anthropic systems\u0000 responded to perturbations gradually through a slow adaptive process. Today,\u0000 we know that vulnerability (economic, social, environmental and health)\u0000 projects us into a condition of sudden discontinuity, unpredictable and\u0000 uncontrollable immersive events, in which every single fragility is related\u0000 to the \"whole\" and every single action produces an eco or a cascading effect\u0000 on the well-being of users and the health of the planet. The global crisis\u0000 scenarios, the conditions of uncertainty and reality complexity, the limited\u0000 resources and the variability of the framework of the needs show the failure\u0000 of a \"rigid\" conception-organization of the built environment often forced\u0000 to reorganize itself as a result of stressful events for reach acceptable\u0000 levels of efficiency or to show its fragility (seismic, hydro-geological,\u0000 climatic, social) by undermining the concepts of stability (environmental,\u0000 economic and social security) we are used to. Precisely in urban areas, a\u0000 context in which human health-planetary health relationships express their\u0000 effects more than elsewhere, it is necessary to intercept new solutions and\u0000 rules to deal with the direct consequences (deterioration of surface\u0000 materials, structures, reduction of energy performance) and indirect (loss\u0000 of identity, interruption of socio-economic activities, loss of livability\u0000 and conditions of well-being) of climate change on urban centres. Although\u0000 the literature recognizes the need for impact forecasting tools, it appears\u0000 increasingly important to support strategies aimed at increasing\u0000 adaptability understood as a characteristic of the designed system that\u0000 allows its transformation/modification, increasing its performance qualities\u0000 and its life span useful. In this sense, adaptability is one of the\u0000 fundamental requisites for a holistic-circular regeneration and\u0000 redevelopment of neighbourhoods and architectures, conceived as products\u0000 that are not \"disposable\" but \"error-friendliness\" or \"prone to error\" and\u0000 structured to \"regenerate\" following damage or decompensation through\u0000 actions of transformation, repair, maintenance, reuse, reconditioning, etc.A\u0000 paradigm shift is needed in the interpretation of adaptive intervention as a\u0000 \"regenerative process\", understood not only as a solution for the\u0000 restoration/maintenance of acceptable performance conditions - in a linear\u0000 vision of the life cycle of the designed system - but a moment of \"reset\u0000 /restart\" in which the action (of transformability, maintainability,\u0000 replaceability, reversibility, mitigation/compensation, etc.) underlies a\u0000 set of strategies structu","PeriodicalId":231376,"journal":{"name":"Human Systems Engineering and Design (IHSED 2023): Future Trends\n and Applications","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123318675","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}
