Polydipsia is a disorder that has received little attention in the research literature. Treatment has been mainly confined to medical or pharmacological intervention. Few studies have reported the use of contingency management techniques and none have sought to encourage self-management. This study shows how such a procedure brought about a significant change in rates of water drinking in a thirty-one year old man with a mild learning disability.

Education Initiatives

The adoption of energy efficiency practices and increased penetration of renewable energy sources in the power system are estimated to play a key role in the decarbonization of the energy sector, helping reduce greenhouse gas emissions and ultimately fight climate change. To foster energy transition, energy education initiatives should primarily target the citizens and be designed adopting a User-Centered Design (UCD) approach and HCI methodologies. This paper describes how UCD/HCI can inform the design of citizens’ energy education initiatives by presenting a case study—the development of an information platform targeting Madeiran citizens. The article describes the design process, from ideation to prototype and validation. Methods used in each phase (card sorting, semi-structured interviews, brainstorming sessions, think-aloud protocol and surveys) are described. Results of each phase and how they have informed the following steps are presented, together with a detailed description of the resulting information platform and initial results in terms of acceptance and interaction with the system. Our initial results support the hypothesis that adopting an HCI perspective can nurture the development of energy education initiatives targeting citizens, bringing a user-centered approach to the design of such initiatives.

Rural Urban Migration

During the second half of the twentieth century, Ecuador went through an intense rural-urban migration that drove a significant increase in the demand for housing units. Insufficient government response resulted in great housing deficit in all the cities. Later, this triggered the formation of pro housing organizations across the country, which looked for quick solutions for the poorest working class. Since the 70s, economic changes driven by the oil boom also contributed to said housing deficit increase along with the growth of urban informality in many cities. Although self-build and self-management housing production fostered urban sprawl over unserved peripheral land, cooperativism became an alternative to tackle the growing scarcity. However, the case of Alianza Solidaria Housing Cooperative stands out among the numerous social organizations that aimed for better living conditions. It developed an alternative for housing production in the periphery of Quito based on a comprehensive vision about habitat, self-management, solidarity-based economy and cooperativism.

Using Data

Background/Objective: Hispanics are about 1.5 times as likely as non-Hispanic Whites to experience Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias (AD/ADRD). Eight percent of AD/ADRD caregivers are Hispanics. The purpose of this article is to provide a methodological case study of using data mining methods and the Twitter platform to inform online self-management and social support intervention design and evaluation for Hispanic AD/ADRD caregivers. It will enable other researchers to replicate the methods for their phenomena of interest. Method: We extracted an analytic corpus of 317,658 English and Spanish tweets, applied content mining (topic models) and network structure analysis (macro-, meso-, and micro-levels) methods, and created visualizations of results. Results: The topic models showed differences in content between English and Spanish tweet corpora and between years analyzed. Our methods detected significant structural changes between years including increases in network size and subgroups, decrease in proportion of isolates, and increase in proportion of triads of the balanced communication type. Discussion/Conclusion: Each analysis revealed key lessons that informed the design and/or evaluation of online self-management and social support interventions for Hispanic AD/ADRD caregivers. These lessons are relevant to others wishing to use Twitter to characterize a particular phenomenon or as an intervention platform.
