Information of Personality Disorder as a Negative Impact of Social Media Through Infographic for Teenagers

The development of current technology makes the flow of information is speeding up. Nowadays, people have a dependency on using social media leaning to increase. Most people utilize social media for communication, socialization, or just lifestyle. From the internet, we can get everything, start from information about the recipes to personal information about someone. This is possible because a lot of people want to share personal information on social media. All easiness which obtained from social media surely helps activity in our life. It has benefited and also has a disadvantage, if we ex-ploit it excessively one of the negative effects, we can receive is a personality disorder. Most people do not recognize this negative effect from social media utilize if we ignore this personality disorder, it can directly impact teen mental develop-ment. Therefore, it needs media that can inform recognize the initial stage of personality disorder that causes by social media exploitation. The qualitative methods were used in this study, whereas the collection of data is done through observation, interview, and literature study. The outcome data processing made into a reference for displaying information content on personality disorders. Communication design theory, visual communication design, infographics, illustrations, colors, typography, and layouts are the basis for infographic media design. Infographic visualization as visual communication media can deliver the information that is able to be accessed by the teen. The research result expected to be the aid that can help teens be wiser in social media utilization and exploitation. Keywords: Personality Disorder, Infographic, Social Medi

User Interface Design in Managing an Alarm System

Information visualization is defined as follow (UIUC DCI, 1998): a method of presenting data or information in non-traditional and interactive graphical forms. These visualizations can show the structure of information by using 2-D or 3-D color graphics and animations. It also allows one to navigate through it, and modify it with graphical interactions. [1] The end-users will communicate with the data in a more visualized manner and when data representation is understandable by end-users, it would lead to a better decision making. By applying visual representation in managing alarm system in the oil refmery, it would assist the high-level users in the management site to better visualized the alarms events and thus make better decision when it comes to the occurrence of abnormal situations. As the occurrence of abnormal situations would lead to triggering the alarms, this indicates that there must be action taken to resolve the issue. If no appropriate action being taken, it would cost money and endanger life. To be even worse, it might cause the plant to be shut down. Thus, the use of visual representation and data simulation would be one of the ways to resolve the problems. The objective of the project is to visualize the data in making it more understandable in the view of the endusers that dealing with the alarm system. To carry out this project, a visit to Petronas Penapisan Melaka Sdn Berhad (PPMSB) was done to understand the overview of how alarm management system works. Then a set of sample data was generated. The set of data would then be verified by the experts. This set of data would be simulated using a tool namely Context Free Art. The project would be focusing on only one unit, called the Crude Distillation Unit (CDU). Basically, the project mainly involving the collection of data, analyzing them and then visualizing them in a way that makes it easy for the endusers to refer to them

Visualizing the Transition Out of High-Demand Religions

This research uses a questionnaire and a bridge drawing directive to explore the lived experience of transitioning out of a high-demand religion. Subjects include disaffiliated Mormons, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and Fundamentalist Protestants who were recruited through a dedicated website via limited promotion in online communities for disaffiliates. Visual and textual responses are analyzed through qualitative coding, with additional analysis performed on the artwork using Hays and Lyons’ (1981) bridge drawing criteria. Results reveal the psychological, social, behavioral, identity, and existential effects of disaffiliation. Results also produce seven emergent themes: ambivalence; embracing uncertainty; social justice; simultaneous transitions; freedom and constraint; growth; and remaining ties. The paper then explores the subjects’ lived experiences, latent content in the artwork, and the role and value of artmaking in healing from these difficult transitions. Lastly, this paper discusses treatment considerations, limitations of the study, and suggestions for future research on religious struggles and disaffiliation

Visualizing Rhetorical Awareness: Building Critical Digital Literacies Practices With Visual Rhetoric in First-Year College Composition

Visual rhetoric assignments allow students a space to practice rhetorical design with a specific audience in mind. When used in concordance with traditional writing assignments, these visual multimedia projects (such as flyers and infographics) can be a useful way for college writing teachers to build rhetorical awareness, which is one of the objectives of first-year college composition courses. This project examines the use of visual rhetoric assignments within a concurrent enrollment college writing course. Students in the course created a community-based proposal, including flyers, infographics, and a final essay. By examining these assignments for evidence of critical digital literacies (decoding, meaning making, using, analyzing, and persona), the researchers investigated how the visual projects promoted student thinking about their audience in their designs and how composition teachers could use visual assignments, in combination with traditional writing assignments in college composition courses

Beyond immediacy and transparency. A semiotic approach to discursive and rhetorical strategies in media visualization and data visualization

Media visualization based on big cultural data, as “visualization without reduction” (Manovich 2010) is supposed to make data immediately and completely available, in contrast to classic data visualization, which visually translates information by means of “graphical primitives.” On the other hand, from a pure functionalist point of view, also the visual form of diagrams, charts, and graphs, being fully proportional to the data values it conveys, is transparent with respect to its object (cf. Tufte 1990, 1997, 2001, and Card, Mackinlay, Shneiderman 1999). In this paper we will try to consider both media visualization and data visualization (across several examples, including some Manovich’s and Accurat’s projects and New York Times graphics) as complex visual communication artifacts, not only from a purely informational point of view but from a semiotic point of view, by introducing a semiotic reflection on what we have proposed to call “discourse of data” (Manchia 2020a). From our perspective, situated in the methodological framework of visual semiotics, and of the semiotics of scientific discourse, it might be interesting to pay attention to the whole process of constructing knowledge (and visual information) from data, understood as a chain of “devices of visualization” (Bastide 1985a, 1990 [1985b], 2001), investigating data as a channelled result, and also visualization strategies of specific–and oriented–discourses across data

A Study of Interaction, Visual Canvas, and Immersion in AR Design: A DSR Approach

Augmented reality (AR) as an innovative technology has changed the way people use technology for interaction and communication. While researchers have studied the application of AR, research on AR as a communication medium remains scant. In this study, we investigate the effect of AR factors (namely, interaction, visual canvas/cues, and immersion) on AR-mediated communication. We apply design science research (DSR) guidelines to design, develop, and evaluate an AR artifact. We derive the design elements based on interactivity, media naturalness, and immersion theories and develop the AR artifact as a mobile app in an iterative manner. We evaluate the design product through the informed arguments and scenarios method, and the design process by assessing its conformance to DSR principles. We show that AR factors\u27 design elements—interaction (user controls, contextual tasks, and ergonomics), visual canvas/cues (realistic 3D models, visual and audio cues, and aesthetics), and immersion (diverse components)—play a critical role in AR-mediated communication. Furthermore, high-quality product visuals and interactive user controls give users a good AR experience. From a practice perspective, AR app designers may incorporate the design process we used in our study and generate AR experiences that fully exploit AR media’s communication affordance. We contribute to knowledge by using DSR guidelines for designing and developing AR as a communication medium

Computational Model for Predicting Particle Fracture During Electrode Calendering

In the context of calling for low carbon emissions, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have been widely concerned as a power source for electric vehicles, so the fundamental science behind their manufacturing has attracted much attention in recent years. Calendering is an important step of the LIB electrode manufacturing process, and the changes it brings to the electrode microstructure and mechanical properties are worth studying. In this work, we reported the observed cracking of active material (AM) particles due to calendering pressure under ex situ nano-X-ray tomography experiments. We developed a 3D-resolved discrete element method (DEM) model with bonded connections to physically mimic the calendering process using real AM particle shapes derived from the tomography experiments. The DEM model can well predict the change of the morphology of the dry electrode under pressure, and the changes of the applied pressure and porosity are consistent with the experimental values. At the same time, the model is able to simulate the secondary AM particles cracking by the fracture of the bond under force. Our model is the first of its kind being able to predict the fracture of the secondary particles along the calendering process. This work provides a tool for guidance in the manufacturing of optimized LIB electrodes
