    #accessibilityFail: Categorizing Shared Photographs of Physical Accessibility Problems
    (ACM, 2016-10) Li, Hanlin; Brady, Erin; Department of Human-Centered Computing, School of Informatics and Computing
    Social media platforms are existing online spaces where users share their daily encounters, providing a large dataset of photographs of inaccessible environments. We analyzed 100 posts from Twitter and Instagram that describe accessibility problems. Our findings suggest these posts are helpful to locate, identify and communicate accessibility problems, and provide design ideas for potential assistive technologies. We suggest design implications using social media posts to improve physical accessibility.

    Childhood Unraveled
    (2023) Edgerly, Brianna; Setser, Meredith; Petranek, Stefan; Potter, William; Baldner, Karen
    Through the exploration of handmade paper with nostalgic imagery I have been transforming the fragments and sorrow of my memories into a cathartic experience shared between the artist and the viewer. I use Van Dyke brown printing to translate photographic imagery that reminds me of my childhood and create my version in the form of an abstracted illustration. This translation from photography to drawing allows for a personal reprocessing of the original memory. I print the illustrations onto handmade cotton paper that together create an aesthetically intriguing collection of objects. They are a physical record of how the artistic process has also been a healing one when it comes to my mental health. It also offers the spectator a moment to slow down and reflect on how they process their memories by witnessing how I have processed my own. As a result, my work creates a stronger empathetic understanding of how someone’s past can affect them in the present moment. The delicately intricate use of the material creates a curiosity in the spectator to further interact with the work. As they move in closer to inspect the work, tears, stains, and other imperfections litter both prints and cast forms alike. By allowing the natural processes of hand papermaking and analog printing to create these imperfections, I can embrace and redefine my own. Through paper making and analog printing, I can embrace my own imperfections, redefine them, and find beauty in them.

    Determining the adenoma detection rate and adenomas per colonoscopy by photography alone: proof-of-concept study
    (Thieme, 2015-09) Rex, Douglas K.; Hardacker, Kyle; MacPhail, Margaret; Rahmani, Farrah; Vemulapalli, Krishna C.; Kahi, Charles J.; Department of Medicine, IU School of Medicine
    Background and study aims: The adenoma detection rate (ADR) and adenomas detected per colonoscopy (APC) are measures of the quality of mucosal inspection during colonoscopy. In a resect and discard policy, pathologic assessment for calculation of ADR and APC would not be available. The aim of this study was to determine whether ADR and APC calculation based on photography alone is adequate compared with the pathology-based gold standard. Patients and methods: A prospective, observational, proof-of-concept study was performed in an academic endoscopy unit. High definition photographs of consecutive polyps were taken, and pathology was estimated by the colonoscopist. Among 121 consecutive patients aged ≥ 50 years who underwent colonoscopy, 268 polyps were removed from 97 patients. Photographs of consecutive polyps were reviewed by a second endoscopist. Results: The resect and discard policy applied to lesions that were ≤ 5 mm in size. When only photographs of lesions that were ultimately proven to be adenomas were included, the reviewer assessed ADR and APC to be lower than that determined by pathology (absolute reductions of 6.6 % and 0.17, and relative reductions of 12.6 % and 13.1 % in ADR and APC, respectively). When all photographs were included for calculation of ADR and APC, the reviewer determined the ADR to be 3.3 % lower (absolute reduction) and the APC to be the same as the rates determined by pathology. Conclusions: In a simulated resect and discard strategy, a high-level detector can document adequate ADR and APC by photography alone.

    The Effect of Pet Therapy and Artist Interactions on Quality of Life in Brain Tumor Patients: A Cross-Section of Art and Medicine in Dialog
    (MDPI, 2018-04-27) Petranek, Stefan; Pencek, Jennifer; Dey, Mahua; Neurological Surgery, School of Medicine
    With the evolution of modern medical treatment strategies, there also comes the realization that many times we reach a point where traditional goals of medical care, such as overall survival or disease-free survival, are not realistic goals for many patients facing devastating illnesses. One such disease is malignant primary brain tumors, known as malignant glioma (MG). With median survival of only 20.9 months following best available standard of care treatment strategies, including surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, and tumor treating fields, MG is one of the deadliest malignancies of the modern era. Along the course of treating patients with MG, clinicians often realize that traditional treatment therapies can at best provide incremental benefit of symptom management without any survival benefit. However, even in these difficult situations, it is possible to make significant positive changes in patients’ health-related quality of life (HRQoL) using creative, non-traditional interventions. In this paper, we describe the initial findings from our project that takes a unique approach to studying the intersections of clinical care and art by using pet therapy and art-making as interventions for patients diagnosed with brain tumors. Our preliminary findings suggest that pet therapy and the ability to reflect as well as speak about their journey through a life-altering disease significantly increases patients’ overall feeling of wellbeing and reduces anxiety about future uncertainty.

    Experiencing Our Town : In the words of immigrant women
    (Indiana University, 2020-04-16) Towers, George W.; Zoeller, Aimee N.; Wills, Katherine; Sociology, School of Liberal Arts
    The multifacted experiences of being a woman and an immigrant in Indiana was co-discovered and articulated through writing workshops supported by Indiana University Purdue University faculty and staff.  The writing workshop participants were photographed near community landmarks.  Their narratives, along with the photographs, were displayed in public spaces, including City Hall.

    To use photography to better understand the following concerning the "guests" at a churchbased soup kitchen in Indianapolis. One year was spent exploring how to use researcherproduced photos of soup kitchen "guests":*to meet their social/emotional/physical needs*to give back or implement feelings of trust and reciprocity*to improve relations between IUPUI, the church, and the surrounding urban community.

    Shoot, taste and post: an exploratory study of food and tourism experiences in an online image-share community
    (Texas A & M University Press, 2012) Liu, Bingjie; Norman, William C.; Backman, Sheila J.; Cuneo, Karen; Condrasky, Margaret
    This paper presents the results from an exploratory study of food and tourism experiences in the online image-share community Flickr.comTM. The purpose of this research was to provide a description of Flickr food group members' behaviour of taking pictures of food, as well as to better understand the role of food pictures in their travel experiences. The study found that members' travel experiences were recorded and shared socially through food photography. While food images could be regarded as a trip motivator, it is hard to regard it as the primary trip purpose.
