Determinants of mistrust in digital health research and approaches to address them among Muslim ethnic minorities living in the United Kingdom
Negative perceptions about health research are common among Muslim communities, which are further exacerbated by the way research findings related to South Asians are discussed in public spaces. Despite this, there is a potential of building the Muslim community's trust and improve their participation in health research if health researchers work collaboratively with mosques or Imams and leverage community-based networks and resources
Recommending art online
Museum online collections now contain millions of objects, making developing tools for supporting users in navigating these a priority. We present a user-centric study of a recommendation system created to browse Art UK’s digital collection according to personal preference. Three forms of recommendations were explored: image-only, metadata-only, and a combination of the two. Recommendations were evaluated against a baseline of artworks chosen at …
Choropleth maps can convey absolute magnitude through the range of the accompanying colour legend
Data visualisation software provides the ability to create highly customisable choropleth maps. This presents an abundance of design choices. The colour legend, one particular aspect of choropleth map design, has the potential to effectively convey data points’ absolute magnitudes (how large or small they are). Colour legends present the mapping between a specific range of colours and a specific range of numerical values. In this experiment, we d…
The Effects of Contrast on Correlation Perception in Scatterplots
Scatterplots are common data visualizations that can be used to communicate a range of ideas, the most intensively studied being the correlation between two variables. Despite their ubiquity, people typically do not perceive correlations between variables accurately from scatterplots, tending to underestimate the strength of the relationship displayed. Here we describe a two-experiment study in which we adjust the visual contrast of scatterplot p…
Tracking the structure and sentiment of vaccination discussions on Mumsnet
Vaccination is one of the most impactful healthcare interventions in terms of lives saved at a given cost, leading the anti-vaccination movement to be identified as one of the top 10 threats to global health in 2019 by the World Health Organization. This issue increased in importance during the COVID-19 pandemic where, despite good overall adherence to vaccination, specific communities still showed high rates of refusal. Online social media has b…

Spatio-temporal and contextual cues to support reflection in physical activity tracking
Physical activity reconstruction is a process whereby self-trackers reflect on their physical activities and goals in an episodic fashion by recalling a series of past experiences and events. Tracking tools often include spatio-temporal cues (i.e. maps and timelines) to provide further context to these physical activity patterns, yet little is known about whether these features actually aid reflection. Here, we report a four-week user study (N=26…
The impact of Covid-19 on digital data practices in museums and art galleries in the UK and the US
The first quarter of 2020 heralded the beginning of an uncertain future for museums and galleries as the COVID-19 pandemic hit and the only means to stay ‘open’ was to turn towards the digital. In this paper, we investigate how the physical closure of museum buildings due to lockdown restrictions caused shockwaves within their digital strategies and changed their data practices potentially for good. We review the impact of COVID-19 on the museum …
Playing the 'Berber
In the last decade, Amazigh arts, media and scholarship have flourished in Morocco, facilitated by a number of new measures such as the creation of the Institut Royal de la Culture Amazighe in 2003. Performance in particular is contributing to this renewal by disseminating an oral heritage in Amazigh dialects and using local myths and narratives. The development of an 'Amazigh theatre' has played a crucial role in restoring the prestige of indige…
The healing power of nature
One summer's evening some years ago, I was a healthy, happy, young woman, 34 weeks pregnant, eagerly expecting the arrival of my first child. I had just returned from an NCT class when I began to f
Performance and social activism in Morocco
North Africa has a long and rich history of using satire as a tool of dissent, although those practices slowly died out during the colonisation period. Fatima Chebchoub, a Moroccan academic and theatre-maker, was one of the few contemporary directors to use traditional performance practices, and the only trained female hlayqia, coming from a family of storytellers. Chebchoub was a real pioneer, often performing one-woman shows on sensitive issues…
Acting up
In the 14 years since Mohammed VI took power, the reform of women's status in the public arena and within the family unit has become a priority for Morocco as the country tries to assert its reputation as one of the most liberal countries in the Arab world. It is a very complex task because of deep-rooted patriarchal attitudes, the corruption of the political and judicial system, and also because Moroccan women are far from being a homogeneous gr…
