GaNEsHA: Opportunities for Sustainable Transportation in Smart Cities

In developed nations, cities experience a growing pressure to establish sustainable transportation solutions. However, currently cities have still only little knowledge about the transportation routines, needs and troubles of its citizens. A greater awareness of daily transportation activities could support cities to build up customized transportation infrastructures that meet sustainable requirements. To address this gap, we build the GaNEsHA mobile application. A mobile crowed-sensing tool to track mobility activities. We used the tool as a probe in an interview study with 14 citizens. Our findings indicated a need for ICT design to move beyond normative tools that simply aim to \u27encourage\u27 people to adopt sustainable practices. Instead, we identified different transitions how municipal mobility services can support sustainable mobility practices. These include: (1) creating awareness of environmental footprints, (2) supporting alternative transportation options, (3) optimizing towards individual needs, (4)facilitating local communities and participative approaches

A dialectic view on Open Innovation

The paradigm of Open-Innovation allows software companies new forms of interactive innovation and its diffusion across socio-cultural boundaries. This process constitutes and is constituted by a heterogeneous network of interacting actors. In this interaction, seeds for innovation will be created and have to be adopted by the participants of the respective network. This paper studies the concept of Open Innovation from a dialectic perspective on innovation seeds, which regards diffusion and adoption as intertwined. Traditionally, innovation research mainly focuses on transferring processes, but in order to reflect on the interactive character of Open Innovation across socio-cultural boundaries, one has to enlarge this perspective. In this paper we have developed a theoretic model which integrates also the aspect of translation and transformation. Based on this theoretical understanding we have figured out competences to adopt innovation seeds that have been developed in a crosscultural setting. At the end of the paper we show how this model can be used to study empirically the behavior of a software company adopting externally created seeds

Einfluss Apoptose-regulierender Proteine der BCL-2-Familie auf die Seneszenzinduktion in Tumorzellen

Seneszenz und Apoptose sind zwei parallel im menschlichen Körper existierende Zellschicksale, mit denen dieser unter anderem auf Stress reagieren und sich vor in ihrem Wachstumsverhalten veränderten Zellen und damit vor der Entstehung eines Tumors schützen kann. Während die Apoptose als Form des programmierten Zelltods zur Elimination der veränderten Zelle führt, ist Seneszenz jedoch lediglich ein Wachstumsstillstand, in dem die Zelle weiterhin die Umgebung beeinflussen und potenziell negative Effekte ausüben kann. Apoptose und Seneszenz scheinen zwei konkurrierende Alternativen zu sein, da sie durch die gleichen Stressoren ausgelöst werden können und beide dem Ziel der Proliferationshemmung von geschädigten Zellen dienen. Wie in der Zelle eine „Entscheidung“ zwischen den beiden Wegen gefällt wird und wie diese möglicherweise auch medikamentös beeinflusst werden kann, ist in den vergangenen Jahren vermehrt Gegenstand der Forschung gewesen. Diese Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Frage, ob eine Behinderung der Apoptose durch das Fehlen der pro-apoptotischen Proteine Bax bzw. Bak zu einer alternativen Seneszenzinduktion als Reaktion auf apoptogene Stimuli führt. Dazu wurden humane Darmkrebszellen der Linie HCT-116 verwendet, die entweder kein Bax (Bax-/-), kein Bax und kein Bak (DKO) oder beide Proteine normal exprimieren (WT). Die Zellen wurden zum einen mit den Zytokinen IFN-gamma und TNF-alpha behandelt, um eventuelle Unterschiede in der Zytokin-induzierten Seneszenz zu untersuchen; zum anderen mit dem in der Tumortherapie bewährten, DNA-schädigenden Chemotherapeutikum Doxorubicin. Durch IFN-gamma und TNF-alpha konnte in den HCT-116-Zellen kein für die Seneszenz charakteristischer Wachstumsstillstand hervorgerufen werden, möglicherweise aufgrund eines funktionellen Defizits des CDK-Inhibitors p16INK4A in HCT-116-Zellen, der für die Einleitung der Zytokin-induzierten Seneszenz eine zentrale Rolle zu spielen scheint. Eine Behandlung mit Doxorubicin konnte in den HCT-116-Zellen allerdings eine Seneszenz induzieren, wahrscheinlich wie in der Literatur beschrieben über DNA-Schädigung und den p53-p21-Signalweg. Unter Behandlung mit Doxorubicin zeigte sich in Bax-/--Zellen weniger Apoptose als in WT-Zellen, dafür gingen signifikant mehr Bax-/-- als WT-Zellen in Seneszenz. Ein zusätzliches Fehlen von Bak in den DKO-Zellen zeigte weder auf die Apoptosehemmung noch auf die Seneszenzinduktion additive Effekte im Vergleich zu den einfach Bax-defizienten Zellen. Die Ergebnisse dieser Arbeit zeigen, wie bereits einzelne andere Studien, dass eine Manipulation der Apoptose-regulierenden Proteine der BCL-2-Familie neben der Apoptose auch die Seneszenz in Zellen beeinflussen kann. Zwar sind die Mechanismen der Interaktion dieser beiden Wege noch nicht bis ins Detail verstanden, jedoch werden sogar bereits die ersten Medikamente entwickelt, die durch Verschiebung des Gleichgewichts der pro- und anti-apoptotischen Proteine der BCL-2-Familie seneszente Zellen eliminieren können und die ein breites Anwendungspotenzial von altersbedingten, degenerativen Erkrankungen bis hin zur Krebstherapie versprechen

Ansätze praxis-basierter Gestaltung für nachhaltige Alltagsmobilitäten in der Sozio-Informatik

Dissertation in Information Systems and ManagementThis dissertation aims to contribute to a socio-informatics approach by addressing sustainable everyday mobilities through practice-based design. Supporting the sustainable transformation of everyday mobilities is a rising demand of our times that can profit highly from mobile sustainable interaction design (SID). However, conventional designs to support sustainable mobilities have often been criticized as too rationalistic and normative, ignoring the complex nature of mobility patterns. In particular, design interventions that only address a very specific mobility mode are often revealed to be insulated solutions that do not account how for their further embeddedness in everyday mobility practices. These shortcomings can either be or have problematic unintended consequences, such as rebound effects (Shove 2010; Banister and Button 2015). To address these issues, I studied SID for sustainable mobilities in real-life settings using a socio-informatic approach. In particular, this thesis examines how SID can be applied to focus on everyday mobilities as habituated practices. Thus, it aims to answer the following question: "How should a practice-based design approach be applied to support sustainable everyday mobilities in everyday life settings?" The research question is examined through the lens of three research fields: first transport information systems (TIS), second shared mobility services (SMS) and third eco-feedback tools (EFT). Therefore, six research studies were completed to study and support the environmental and social sustainability of everyday mobility practices. The studies showed that a practice-based approach addresses SID for everyday mobilities on three levels: first, by elaborating a new methodological understanding to study everyday mobilities as evolving practices; second, by evolving methods and tools that are able to reflect on the development of new mobility practices in real-life contexts; and third, by supporting SID that goes beyond the normative stance but is built upon the practices of everyday life mobilities in the research fields of TIS, SMS and EFT

Knowledge Management-in-action in an EUD- oriented Software Enterprise

Abstract: End User Development (EUD) aims at the enabling of end users to adapt, modify or extend software and has become an important keyword for software designers. Discussing premises for the success of EUD, several authors have stated that processes of knowledge development and diffusion play an important role. Current research discusses such Knowledge-Management issues mostly in the client organization. But if we want to bring an End User perspective into design practice, we have to take into account how producers manage their costumerrelated knowledge and bring it into action. Therefore, the study presented here describes the results of a related Business Ethnography, which was carried out in a small enterprise of the German software branch. The paper explains how this ethnographic action research helped to identify practices, potentials and problems in the enterprise to acquire, secure and use knowledge about the end users of its products. Preliminary findings demonstrate that EUD is not only a technical, but also a Knowledge-Management challenge for software enterprises
