Hoftijzer, J.W. (author), Keyson, D.V. (author)Today's global context of mass-produced items has resulted in an increasing 'distance', or alienation, between people and the origins of the items they buy and use: an unhealthy human-product relationship. This observation permits the search for an alternative interpretation of well-being: a transformation that would support resilience and...journal article 2023

Colenberg, S.E. (author), Romero Herrera, N.A. (author), Keyson, D.V. (author)The prolonged working from home during the recent pandemic has increased awareness of the social function of the office: employees missed informal social interaction with co-workers, face-to-face meetings, and spontaneous encounters. If the trend of hybrid working persists, one of the main functions of the physical office will be to support face...conference paper 2022

Adar, M.E. (author), de Bruin, R. (author), Keyson, D.V. (author)Whether it is from the office-office or the home office, creating a physical work environment is essential for both improving work performance as well as for the physical and mental wellbeing of employees. But as jobs are becoming increasingly less active, and working adults are spending almost a third of their lives in the office, most of their...conference paper 2022

Colenberg, S.E. (author), Keyson, D.V. (author)Background and aim – While remote working is not a new phenomenon, Covid-19 has forced many office workers to work from home for long consecutive periods. Recent research shows that while most of them say they can work productively from home, many feel less connected to their colleagues. This study explores how these experiences may influence...conference paper 2021

Singh, A. (author), Romero Herrera, N.A. (author), van Dijk, Hylke W. (author), Keyson, D.V. (author), Strating, Alex T. (author)The literature on Design Anthropology (DA) is skewed towards discussion exploring anthropology's potential for design. In contrast, discourse on how design can contribute to anthropology is somewhat limited. This article proposes an ‘Anthropology through Design’ (AtD) approach by reflecting on a study on the emergent phenomenon of ‘energy...journal article 2021

Romero Herrera, N.A. (author), Jiménez García, Juan (author), Keyson, D.V. (author), Havinga, Paul (author)Shorter hospitalisation is a strategy that healthcare services have adopted to solve the problem of high demand for hospitalisation under conditions of insufficient resources. Early discharge demands patients to self-manage their recovery at home, while recovery is still perceived a clinician’s responsibility. This often results in an extra...journal article 2018

Singh, A. (author), Strating, Alex T. (author), Romero Herrera, N.A. (author), Mahato, Debotosh (author), Keyson, D.V. (author), van Dijk, Hylke W. (author)Within the areas of distributed, off-grid, and decentralized energy, there is a growing interest in local energy exchanges. A crucial component of an energy exchange is a return provided by an energy-receiver to an energy-giver for the energy provided. The existing energy literature on such returns is primarily limited to monetary returns and...journal article 2018

Romero Herrera, N.A. (author), Doolaard, J.M. (author), Guerra Santin, O. (author), Jaśkiewicz, T.J. (author), Keyson, D.V. (author)The energy and building research community acknowledges the importance of including occupants' wellbeing in the evaluation of building energy performance. Particularly in office buildings, occupants' comfort assessment is not yet a common practice, partially due to the shortcomings of the comfort assessment activities. Contextual factors such as...journal article 2018

Singh, A. (author), Strating, Alex T. (author), Romero Herrera, N.A. (author), van Dijk, Hylke W. (author), Keyson, D.V. (author)Many energy researchers and practitioners envision householders to have an active role in local energy distribution in emerging energy systems. In the energy literature, the dominant view of local energy distribution, grounded in the rational choice perspective, sees exchanges of energy between households as energy trading. The existing...journal article 2017

Singh, A. (author), Van Dijk, H.W. (author), Romero Herrera, N.A. (author), Keyson, D.V. (author)Local generation, distribution and consumption of renewable energy within neighborhood is an emerging application context for the concept of `sharing'. This position paper introduces a cross-cultural approach to enable `new' social practices of renewable energy sharing in neighborhoods. The approach is being developed based on ongoing field...conference paper 2015

Paauwe, R.A. (author), Hoorn, J.F. (author), Konijn, E.A. (author), Keyson, D.V. (author)In the near future, human-like social robots will become indispensable for providing support in various social tasks, in particular for healthcare (e.g., assistance, coaching). The perception of realism, in particular human-like features, can help facilitate mediated social interaction. The current study investigated the effects of form realism...journal article 2015

Singh, A. (author), Van Dijk, H.W. (author), Romero Herrera, N.A. (author), Keyson, D.V. (author), Wartena, B.O. (author)With the advent of Smart Energy Systems and Energy Cooperatives in the Netherlands and elsewhere, sharing of renewable energy within neighbourhoods is likely to gain wide prominence in the near future. Today the concept of 'Energy Sharing' is often limited to householders 'selling' their surplus of locally generated energy to the energy grid....conference paper 2015

Keyson, D.V. (author), Al Mahmud, A. (author), De Hoogh, M. (author), Luxen, R. (author)In this paper we describe the design of a home energy and comfort management system. The system has three components such as a smart plug with a wireless module, a residential gateway and a mobile app. The combined system is called a home energy management and comfort toolkit. The design is inspired with the fact that making energy visible and...journal article 2013

Denef, S. (author), Opperman, R. (author), Keyson, D.V. (author)In this paper we present our approach for informing the design of ubiquitous computing by using pattern languages of human practice. By linking ethnography and design, this approach makes it possible to tackle the social dimension of ubiquitous computing in the design processes. Adding to the existing research on patterns of human practice for...journal article 2011

Alonso, M.B. (author), Hummels, C.C.M. (author), Keyson, D.V. (author), Hekkert, P.P.M. (author)Sometimes, the way in which we interact with products implicitly communicates how we feel. Based on previous studies on how emotions can be detected and communicated via product interaction, we discuss how an interactive product could influence affect by responding and changing behaviors expressing affect. We discuss the proposal of the...journal article 2011
