Seeing is Believing: How Visual Data Analysis Empowers Us in a Digital Age

We are living in a data-driven world. With the continuing digitalization process affecting all areas of our daily lives, there is also an increase in data being recorded or created on the wayas well as an increased interest in making sense of this data in order to be able to derive insights and actions from it. This holds true at a personal, professional, and public level, for example, when looking at private tness data, companies' processes data, or countries' public health data. At all stages of working with such data, no matter if personal or big data, visualization and data analysis are required to access and make sense of it as well as to communicate the gathered insights [Spe01; TS20]. At the same time, data analysis is not limited to take place on desktop computers anymore. Modern devices, such as smartwatches, smartphones, tablets, laptops, or digital whiteboards, allow to access information anytime and anywhere [Wei91] and can provide the opportunity to interact with information in more natural ways [Lee+12; Rob+14]. This thesis contributes concepts for how visual data analysis can be facilitated on modern devices by using them in combination.

Drowning in data? This book unlocks the power of visual analysis. Learn to see trends, make clear decisions, and become a master of the digital age.

While a feminist approach is often championed by women, Dr. James' work on "Intersections of Care: A Feminist Approach to Public Health Nursing with Refugee Women" brings a valuable perspective from a male scholar. Dr. James, a dedicated public health nurse and researcher, tackles a critical public health issue in this book. He sheds light on the unique challenges faced by refugee women when it comes to accessing and receiving quality healthcare. "Intersections of Care" utilizes a feminist lens to analyze these challenges. Dr. James explores how social determinants of health, including gender, race, and immigration status, intersect to create vulnerabilities for these women. He emphasizes the importance of culturally competent care and dismantling structural oppressions that contribute to health disparities. The book is not just a critique; it's a solution-oriented guide. Dr. James outlines a framework for public health nurses to provide compassionate, feminist care to refugee women.
