This work aims to evaluate the effects of visualization of climate impact data. The study was performed together with the logistics department at Sandvik Materials Technology (SMT), Sweden. SMT has sought to develop their sustainability strategy and was therefore suitable as a collaboration partner. The development of the design was done in consultation with SMT to fulfil their needs, for example the data was chosen and provided by SMT. In addition to this, research was done on effective visualization designs. From this, a sketched prototype was created which furthermore developed into a website. Human Computer Interaction (HCI) methods, such as think aloud interviews, were used in the evaluation process. These interviews focused on understanding the current mindset towards sustainability. After two to three weeks, a survey was sent out with similar questions as during the first survey and interviews. The purpose of this survey was to be able to compare the results between the interviews and the answers on the survey, and recognize any changes in mindset. The results from these comparisons were that the mindsets did not seem to have changed significantly. However, the results show that there is a change in the perception of the individual responsibility, both as a department and person. It should be pointed out that the time provided for the evaluation process was limited. To strengthen these results, it is suggested that the evaluation time extends and that the frequency of usage is consistent and high level.Detta arbete syftar till att evaluera effekterna av visualisering av data över klimatpåverkan. Arbetet utfördes tillsammans med logistikavdelningen på Sandvik Materials Technology (SMT), Sverige. SMT har för avsikt att utveckla deras hållbarhetsstrategi och var därför passande som samarbetspartner. Utvecklingen av designen för visualiseringen utfördes genom konsultation med SMT för att uppfylla deras behov, exempelvis valdes data ut, samt förseddes, av SMT. Utöver detta gjordes undersökningar av effektiva metoder för designer för visualisering. Utifrån detta skapades en skissad prototyp som därefter utvecklades till en hemsida. Metoder inom människodatainteraktion (MDI), såsom think aloud-intervjuer, använder inom utvärderingsprocessen. Dessa intervjuer fokuserade på att förstå den nuvarande situationen för tankesättet kring hållbarhet. Efter två till tre veckor skickades en enkät ut, med liknande frågor som under intervjuerna. Syftet med denna enkät var att möjliggöra för jämförelse mellan resultaten från intervjuerna och svaren på enkäten, för att adressera eventuella skillnader i tankesätt. Resultaten från dessa jämförelser var att tankesättet inte hade förändrats signifikant. Resultaten visade dock att det finns en förändring i uppfattningen av det individuella ansvaret, både vad gäller avdelningen och individen. Det bör påpekas att tiden som fanns tillgänglig för utvärderingsprocessen var begränsad. För att stärka dessa resultat föreslås det att utvärderingstiden förlängs och att frekvensen för användandet av hemsidan är konsistent och på en hög nivå

And just then some people were carrying a paralyzed man lying on a bed. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Take heart, son; your sins are forgiven.” Then some of the scribes said to themselves, “This man is blaspheming.” But Jesus, perceiving their thoughts, said, “Why do you think evil in your hearts? For which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Stand up and walk’? But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”—he then said to the paralytic—“Stand up, take your bed and go to your home.” And he stood up and went to his home. When the crowds saw it, they were filled with awe, and they glorified God, who had given such authority to human beings. -Matthew 9:1-8I’ve always liked the story of Jesus healing the paralytic. As a child my imagination ran wild with the idea of a man being lowered through the roof of a house. As an adult, however, I’m drawn to verse five. Jesus perceives the evil thoughts of the teachers of the law and directly questions if it’s easier to forgive sin or heal. Almost as an afterthought, Jesus follows this statement by healing the paralytic with the simple words “Get up, take your mat and go home”. The focus that I missed as a child, is Jesus’ power over sin. The healing was merely a physical demonstration of Jesus’ power for the nay-sayers present.Part of the reason I’m drawn to this miracle is that I’ve witnessed family members suffering from chronic illnesses. My grandmother was an amazing woman of God who was crippled by arthritis at a very young age. Every step she took was with great effort and pain and her hands were twisted and mangled from years of arthritis running rampant through her body. My grandmother passed away almost 20 years ago, but I’ve thought about her more frequently since my daughter, Jocelyn, was diagnosed with arthritis as a 10-year old. It’s tough to watch your child ache and make difficult decisions she shouldn’t have to make. Because of this, I have a better understanding of the paralytic’s friends. I get how you would carry someone you love for miles and devise a cockamamie plan for dangling them through roof tiles. I would love nothing more than for Jocelyn to be healed of arthritis, but I’m missing the point of the story again: Jesus forgave sins. Jesus has power over sin and healing.I also need to be reminded that God’s plan is much greater than I can imagine. My grandmother was an amazing woman of God. Her physical challenges made her who she was. Because of her challenges, she fought even harder to serve the Lord with the abilities that she had. Healing my grandmother would have been an answer to prayer, but there were many blessings in the physical body she was given that allowed her to testify to God’s grace. My grandmother’s legacy gives me great confidence in God’s plan for my daughter. I will continue to fervently pray for Jocelyn’s healing, trusting that God’s plan for her life is much greater than I could imagine and remembering too, that the point of the story is that God forgives our sins. We have eternal life and a future hope where aches and pains are no more.1/1
