Summary: Ketamine is an addictive drug that has been shown to inflict considerable physical and mental damage on users. Due in part to its low cost, ketamine has become one of the most popular club drugs among young adults and teenagers in Southeast Asia. This paper proposes a phone-based support system (KeDiary) with Bluetooth-enabled device for the screening of saliva, as a means of assisting ketamine-dependent patients to self-monitor their ketamine use following acute withdrawal treatment. We also conducted a practical experiment to evaluate the feasibility of the proposed system, wherein three ketamine-dependent patients self-administered tests at least once per day over a period of three weeks. Follow-up interviews with the same users helped in the further refinement of the proposed self-monitoring system.

Summary: Alcohol dependence is a chronic disorder associated with severe harm in multiple areas, and relapsing is easy, despite treatment. This study proposes SoberDiary, a phone-based support system that enables alcohol-dependent patients to self-monitor and -manage their own alcohol behavior, and remain sober in their daily lives. We tested SoberDiary in a real-life 12-week user study involving 27 clinical patients. The quantitative and qualitative results revealed that SoberDiary helped patients self-monitor and -manage their alcohol-use behavior, and reduced their total alcohol consumption as well as the number of heavy drinking days. Compared with patients who received standard treatment alone, this study demonstrated SoberDiary successfully complemented current alcohol treatment in reducing patients' alcoholic cravings and dropout rate over 3-month study period. Follow-up interviews further revealed the sophisticated use practices and value of SoberDiary.

Summary: Section 508 of the Rehabilitations Act of 1973 states that federal agencies are required to maintain accessible web-based information for persons with disabilities, namely, visual impairments. Studies spanning over 1 decade conducted by The American Foundation for the Blind and Towson University's Universal Usability Lab investigated federal home pages for Section 508 violations. Both studies concluded that numerous university, corporate, federal, and federal contractor websites are largely inaccessible to people with disabilities -- specifically in terms of clarity, consistency, and fidelity to standards. Due to inconsistencies across federal agencies, constant website updates, and webmaster turnaround, there is a need for practical guidelines for web page design compliant with Section 508, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and the World Wide Web Consortium's Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, with particular focus on the visually impaired.

Summary: Alcohol dependence is a chronic disorder associated with severe harm in multiple areas, and relapsing is easy despite treatment. After alcohol-dependent patients complete alcohol withdrawal treatment and return to their regular lives, they face further challenges in order to maintain sobriety. This study proposes SoberDiary, a phone-based support system that enables alcohol-dependent patients to self-monitor and self-manage their own alcohol use behavior and remain sober in their daily lives. Results from a 4-week user study involving 11 clinical patients show that, using SoberDiary, patients can self-monitor and self-manage their alcohol use behavior, reducing their total alcohol consumption and the number of drinking or heavy drinking days that occur following intervention.

AttachedShock: Design of a crossing-based target selection technique on augmented reality devices and its implications / You, Chuang-Wen / Hsieh, Yung-Huan / Cheng, Wen-Huang / Hsieh, Yi-Hsuan International Journal of Human-Computer Studies 2014-07 v.72 n.7 p.606-626

Summary: The prevalence of touch devices in daily lives offers increasing opportunities for users to navigate the real world. However, as users move, on-screen targets move unpredictably, and eventually disappear from the screen in mobile navigation scenarios. The changing target movement pattern creates difficulties in selecting targets in time before targets escape from the screen. This study proposes a novel selecting technique, AttachedShock, for easing target selection tasks on augmented reality devices by crossing a naturally expanding wave pattern attached to targets. We evaluated the effectiveness of our technique by conducting three sets of comparative studies on measuring the performance of four techniques under various mobile navigation scenarios, i.e., various combinations of the identified factors. The results indicate that the proposed technique assists users in selecting moving targets to improve the error rate substantially, by a minimum of 76.51%, 61.75%, and 72.77% in Experiment-I, -II, and -III relative to state-of-the-art techniques, and incurs acceptable distractions to users, compared to other techniques.

ACM Digital Library Link

Summary: We present a new mobile application SocialCRC to simplify the process of coordinating an impromptu rendezvous. By considering contextual information and the social relationships between the attendants of a rendezvous, SocialCRC can identify a more satisfactory rendezvous point. In this study, we deploy SocialCRC in the context of a dinner rendezvous. A preliminary user evaluation indicates that SocialCRC can offer satisfactory results for the most influential person involved in the coordination process. It also provides an acceptable solution for the whole group, without diminishing the satisfaction of the least influential person in the group.
