2. 1. Embodied Evolution of Learning Ability

   Author : Stefan Elfwing; Henrik Christensen; Jarmo Alander; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Embodied Evolution; Evolutionary Robotics; Reinforcement Learning; Shaping Rewards; Meta-parameters; Hierarchical Reinforcement Learning; Computer science; Datalogi;

   Abstract : Embodied evolution is a methodology for evolutionary robotics that mimics the distributed, asynchronous, and autonomous properties of biological evolution. The evaluation, selection, and reproduction are carried out by cooperation and competition of the robots, without any need for human intervention. READ MORE

4. 2. Evolutionary Humanoids for Embodied Artificial Intelligence

   Author : Krister Wolff; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; linear genetic programming; bipedal locomotion; humanoid robotics; evolutionary algorithms;

   Abstract : The work presented in this thesis aims at investigating the potential of a proposed methodology to create a cognitive control architecture for a humanoid robot. This architecture comprises three hierarchical layers: the reactive layer, the model building layer, and the reasoning layer. READ MORE

5. 3. Making Sense of Negative Numbers

   Author : Cecilia Kilhamn; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; mathematics education; metaphor; signed number; negative number; number sense; case study; longitudinal; social constructivism;

   Abstract : Numbers are abstract objects that we conceptualize and make sense of through metaphors. When negative numbers appear in school mathematics, some properties of number sense related to natural numbers become contradictory. The metaphors seem to break down, making a transition from intuitive to formal mathematics necessary. READ MORE

6. 4. Form & Formlessness : Questioning aesthetic abstractions through art projects, cross-disciplinary studies and product design education

   Author : Cheryl Akner Koler; Edith Ackermann; Konstfack; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Aesthetics; Abstractions; Form; Design; Formgiving; Formlessness; Gestalt; Complexity; cross-disciplinary; Design; Design; Konst; Arts; Designdriven och gestaltande kunskapsproduktion; Designdriven och gestaltande kunskapsproduktion; Sensorium; rumsliga perceptioner; Sensorium; rumsliga perceptioner; Materiella kulturer; Materiella kulturer;

   Abstract : This research is based on empirical, embodied studies aimed to generate and regenerate aesthetic reasoning through three approaches:an educational approach concerned with developing an aesthetic discipline, supporting a formgiving process aimed to create tangible artifacts.an art-based approach supporting an open exploration of distortion and formlessnessa multi-disciplinary exploratory approach concerned with aesthetic experiences shared in laborations demonstrating complexity and transformation.

7. 5. Ovarian response to vascular and toxic insults in early life : focus on ovarian reserve and fertility preservation

   Author : Valentina Pampanini; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The ovarian reserve is defined as the number of eggs embodied in primordial follicles. Every woman is born with a fixed number of primordial follicles, which are formed during fetal development. Pathological events can affect the ovarian reserve both preand postnatally and cause a premature ovarian insufficiency (POI), i.e. READ MORE
