Data protection regulations mandating explicit user consent for personal data collection have spurred the development of cookie consent interfaces. This study explores the factors influencing user experience with these interfaces and their impact on data privacy choices. Through qualitative analysis of semi-structured interviews with university students, several key factors emerged that shape user

Children’s FinTech apps are digital mobile platforms that incorporate features for managing children’s financial activities ranging from the setting and tracking of chores, the payment of allowances or pocket money, the capacity for saving and spending, and the facilitation of investment options. As we show in this paper, a key aspect of these child money and finance apps is the inclusion of playf

Children’s FinTech apps are digital mobile platforms that incorporate features for managing children’s financial activities ranging from the setting and tracking of chores, the payment of allowances or pocket money, the capacity for saving and spending, and the facilitation of investment options.

Foreign Object Debris (FOD) poses a serious threat to airport safety and efficiency, yet current detection processes often rely on manual labor, it is a repetitive task that is prone to human errors. This thesis investigates how a Human-Machine Interface (HMI) can be deigned to support the FOD detection and handling, with a specific focus on the needs and workflows of ground personnel in apron ope

The changing landscape of science and science education has provided an impetus to re-imagine how science can be taught in schools. The dawn of the Big Data era, especially in astronomy, and the notion of “Science as Practice” are some of the developments driving this need for a re-imagination of science education. This current work contributes to this agenda by exploring the features an education

A benign thermal stress in solid oxide fuel cell is of great importance for its stability and the interfaces between different components suffer from unexpected risks of instability such as electrode delamination and crack due to varying thermal expansion coefficients. Besides, chromium poisoning cathode materials leads to phase changes, which possibly induces thermal stresses at the interface of

The discovery of van der Waals (vdW) magnets opened a new paradigm for condensed matter physics and spintronic technologies. However, the operations of active spintronic devices with vdW ferromagnets are limited to cryogenic temperatures, inhibiting their broader practical applications. Here, the robust room-temperature operation of lateral spin-valve devices using the vdW itinerant ferromagnet Fe

Sweden positions digital health as a means of achieving "good and equal health and welfare," yet how these systems are experienced by those positioned outside their design remains insufficiently understood. Employing the concept of affective atmospheres and conceptualising digital health as a spatial artefact, this study uses semi-structured interviews with seven migrants (aged 24-35) in

Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems are central to modern healthcare, yet their practical impact on clinical workflows remains complex. This thesis explores the advantages and limitations physicians experience when using EHR systems in daily hospital work. Guided by the Systems Engineering Initiative for Patient Safety (SEIPS) framework, the study takes a socio-technical approach, focusing on h

We present an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) human-robot interaction simulation environment to evaluate operator situational awareness (SA) during Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) operations. We have developed a modular simulator that functions as a testbed for the design of custom scenarios and the study of human-robot interaction. This simulator facilitates data collection and allows for the c

This paper is concerned with simple human performance “laws of action” for three classes of tasks—pointing, crossing, and steering, as well as their applications in Virtual Reality research. In comparison to Fitts' law of pointing, the “law of steering”— the quantitative relationship between human temporal performance and the movement path's spatial characteristics—has been notably under investiga
