Publication of the dissertation: Usability Results as a Knowledge Resource in Organizations

My dissertation was published in October in the series Schriftenreihe zur Informationswissenschaft: Nähere Informationen beim Verlag. The blurb says:

“Usability and user experience are central quality factors in software development today. With the increasing maturity of usability and UX processes in many organizations, their knowledge of their own users, their preferences and their usage behavior is growing. Interviews and focus groups with usability practitioners from different companies and industries form the basis for the analysis of the added value and possible barriers to the use of usability information. From this, information management requirements are derived for their effective and efficient use. A prototype usability information system implements the requirements exemplarily and enables evaluation from the point of view of the intended users.

Summer crafts

Hey! Summer at last, are you as excited about it as I am? I enjoy going out in short pants in the morning instead of freezing in my winter coat.

I think it’s really cool to sit outside even in the evening. You know, with candlelight ( mosquito candle ) and a glass of red wine on our terrace ….

And just in time for the start of the summer, there are great craft ideas for you, which fit thematically to the summer.

Sun and sea, holidays, flowers, birds and butterflies and much more

More and more patients are opting for dental treatment under hypnosis. Whether fear of dental surgery, fear of injections, severe gag reflex or drug allergy: Medical hypnosis can contribute to a fear-free, painless and relaxed visit to the dentist.

What is hypnosis?

Hypnosis (of Hypnos, the Greek god of sleep) is a procedure to achieve an altered state of consciousness, the hypnotic trance. This state is characterized by deep relaxation and susceptibility to suggestions. In trance, all attention is focused on a specific thing, so that the rest of the environment is completely or partially hidden – as we can experience in everyday life when we jog, read an exciting book or concentrate on a difficult job.

Dr. Kristina Schröder and Prof. Renate Köcher

73 percent of parents of children under 16 want more time for the family. Full-time working mothers even express this wish at 88 percent, part-time working mothers at 78 percent. While fathers would like to work less, mothers would particularly like to see relief in everyday family life.

This is a result of the “Monitor Familienleben” presented by the Federal Minister for Family Affairs, Dr. Kristina Schröder, together with Prof. Renate Köcher, Managing Director of the Institut für Demoskopie Allensbach, on 24 September in Berlin.

Actor Tim Wilde talks to us in an interview about boxing gloves, children on set and family conflicts.

KiNDER: In “The Wild Guys” you played Leons and Marlon’s father. Do you like working with children? Tim Wilde: Yes, very much, because children are pure and not superimposed at all. Recently I asked my five-year-old son Milo if we would rather buy a chair or a sofa for our new apartment. For him it was clear: “A sofa, because I can lounge on it more comfortably. “Children are so honest. And when they compliment you, you can be sure they mean business. It’s often different with adults.
