    Co-learning for sustainable design: the case of a circular design collaborative project in Ireland
    (Elsevier, 2021) McMahon, Muireann; Department of Media and Visual Arts; Bakırlıoğlu, Yekta; Researcher; Department of Media and Visual Arts; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 164439
    Incorporating concerns of sustainability and circularity into design practice is undoubtedly important for both design research and education. There is a need to equip novice designers with the skills to facilitate a sustainability-focused future, whilst also collaborating with industry to implement these concerns into contemporary design practices. On the one hand, SMMEs and small teams in other sectors (i.e. public) lack the resources and time to improve their knowledge, to explore alternative ways of conducting business and to transform their design practices. Contrarily, novice designers (i.e. design students) can access state-of-the-art knowledge on sustainability and experiment with sustainable design practices throughout their education, yet they lack insights into market realities around implementation. Similarly, design researchers and educators are on the fore-front of developing sustainability-focused design methodology through research, but they often lack exposure to the industry. If the parties were all to work together, however, the sharing of resources, knowledge and experiences become valuable commodities in creating more sustainable design practices. This paper outlines an on-campus Design for Circular Economy and Sustainability training programme where industry worked with interns and academics to address real-world challenges. The project forms a part of a larger EU collaboration. The programme aimed to create a co-learning environment for novice designers, industry partners and design researcher/educators. Here all stakeholders could exchange their knowledge and insights and learn from each other to explore and experiment with practically implementing sustainability in real-world contexts. This paper briefly introduces the development of the programme and explores how and what co-learning occurred for the different stakeholders. Finally, the paper discusses how the outcomes of this programme subsequently affected the practices of industry partners. The programme offered a unique environment to prepare novice designers for the real world and provided researcher/educators with valuable insights on how to facilitate such a transition. The industry partners utilised this experience and outcomes to review their practices and kick-start the transition towards sustainable businesses.

    Development of a cognitive robotic system for simple surgical tasks
    (InTech, 2015) Muradore, Riccardo; Fiorini, Paolo; Fiorini, Paolo; Barkana, Duygun Erol; Bonfe, Marcello; Borierol, Fabrizio; Caprara, Andrea; De Rossi, Giacomo; Dodi, Riccardo; Elle, Ole Jakob; Ferraguti, Federica; Gasperottil, Lorenza; Gassert, Roger; Mathiassen, Kim; Handini, Dilla; Lambercy, Olivier; Lil, Lin; Kruusmaal, Maarja; Manurung, Auralius Oberman; Meruzzi, Giovanni; Ho Quoc Phuong Nguyen; Freda, Nicola; Riolfo, Gianluca; Ristolainen, Asko; Sanna, Alberto; Secchi, Cristian; Torsello, Marco; Department of Media and Visual Arts; Yantaç, Asım Evren; Faculty Member; Department of Media and Visual Arts; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 52621
    The introduction of robotic surgery within the operating rooms has significantly improved the quality of many surgical procedures. Recently, the research on medical robotic systems focused on increasing the level of autonomy in order to give them the possibility to carry out simple surgical actions autonomously. This paper reports on the development of technologies for introducing automation within the surgical workflow. The results have been obtained during the ongoing FP7 European funded project Intelligent Surgical Robotics (I-SUR). The main goal of the project is to demonstrate that autonomous robotic surgical systems can carry out simple surgical tasks effectively and without major intervention by surgeons. To fulfil this goal, we have developed innovative solutions (both in terms of technologies and algorithms) for the following aspects: fabrication of soft organ models starting from CT images, surgical planning and execution of movement of robot arms in contact with a deformable environment, designing a surgical interface minimizing the cognitive load of the surgeon supervising the actions, intra-operative sensing and reasoning to detect normal transitions and unexpected events. All these technologies have been integrated using a component-based software architecture to control a novelrobot designed to perform the surgical actions under study. In this work we provide an overview of our system and report on preliminary results of the automatic execution of needle insertion for the cryoablation of kidney tumours.

    Sharing and cooperativism: designing for economies
    (Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), 2020) Fedosov, A.; Bates, O.; Lampinen, A.; Light, A.; Department of Media and Visual Arts; Subaşı, Özge; Faculty Member; Department of Media and Visual Arts; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 240920
    Recent work on sharing and cooperativism has helped widen our understanding of the emerging systems for exchanges, interactions, and relationships beyond mainstream economic models, in particular through studying local cooperatives and their sharing practices across various domains. These efforts also indicate that design has the potential to shape our engagements with the global political economy. However, so far, there are few design resources tailored for exploring and further developing design insights from empirical and conceptual research on sharing and cooperativism. Therefore, we invite the community to discuss the role of design in relation to economies of sharing and cooperativism. In this workshop, we will gather a diverse group of scholars, designers, and activists to think together how designs for sustainable economies can be created and circulated across cooperatives and platforms, with the aim to springboard social and economic aspects of sharing cultures.

    User perceptions of security and usability of mobile-based single password authentication and two-factor authentication
    (Springer, 2019) İşler, Devriş; Department of Computer Engineering; Department of Media and Visual Arts; Küpçü, Alptekin; Coşkun, Aykut; Faculty Member; Department of Computer Engineering; Department of Media and Visual Arts; College of Engineering; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 168060; 165306
    Two-factor authentication provides a significant improvement over the security of traditional password-based authentication by requiring users to provide an additional authentication factor, e.g., a code generated by a security token. In this decade, single password authentication (SPA) schemes are introduced to overcome the challenges of traditional password authentication, which is vulnerable to the offline dictionary, phishing, honeypot, and man-in-the-middle attacks. Unlike classical password-based authentication systems, in SPA schemes the user is required to remember only a single password (and a username) for all her accounts, while the password is protected against the aforementioned attacks in a provably secure manner. In this paper, for the first time, we implement the state-of-the-art mobile-based SPA system of Acar et al. (2013) as a prototype and assess its usability in a lab environment where we compare it against two-factor authentication (where, in both cases, in addition to the password, the user needs access to her mobile device). Our study shows that mobile-based SPA is as easy as, but less intimidating and more secure than two-factor authentication, making it a better alternative for online banking type deployments. Based on our study, we conclude with deployment recommendations and further usability study suggestions.
