2. 1. Picture Viewing and Picture Description: Two Windows on the Mind

   Author : Jana Holsanova; Kognitionsvetenskap; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; discourse hierarchy; picture description; vision; picture viewing; information flow; discourse segmentation; discourse analysis; coherence; semantics; spatial and temporal relations; cognitive science; linguistics; cognitive linguistics; psycholinguistics; speech; cognition; multimodal communication; mental processes; eye movement protocol; focus of attention; spoken language protocol; information processing; scene perception; areas of interest;

   Abstract : In this thesis, I connect two disciplines, linguistics and vision research, and combine two methods, spoken language protocols and eye movement protocols, in order to cast light on the underlying cognitive processes. In a series of studies, I investigate the processual aspects of picture viewing and picture description. READ MORE

4. 2. A Representation Scheme for Description and Reconstruction of Object Configurations Based on Qualitative Relations

   Author : Heike Joe Steinhauer; Erik Sandewall; Alexander Klippel; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Qualitative Reasoning; Spatial Reasoning; Cognitive Modeling; Human-Machine Interaction; Coarse Reasoning; Artificial Intelligence; Computer science; Datavetenskap;

   Abstract : One reason Qualitative Spatial Reasoning (QSR) is becoming increasingly important to Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the need for a smooth ‘human-like’ communication between autonomous agents and people. The selected, yet general, task motivating the work presented here is the scenario of an object configuration that has to be described by an observer on the ground using only relational object positions.

5. 3. Operating cycle representations for road vehicles

   Author : Pär Pettersson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; operating cycle; full vehicle simulation; energy usage; transport operation description; road format; CO2 emissions;

   Abstract : This thesis discusses different ways to represent road transport operations mathematically. The intention is to make more realistic predictions of longitudinal performance measures for road vehicles, such as the CO2 emissions. READ MORE

6. 4. A comprehensive picture of ethical values in caring encounters, based on experiences of those involved : Analysis of concepts developed from empirical studies

   Author : Lise-Lotte Jonasson; Carina Berterö; Per-Erik Liss; Britt-Marie Ternestedt; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : Ethical values; grounded theory; older patient; next of kin; nursing care; qualitative methods; empirical ethics; normative ethics; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

   Abstract : Older people should have a life with a sense of value and should feel confident. These ethical values, which are expressed in normative ethics, are expected to prevail in empirical ethics. Central components of nursing are the ethical issues of autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence and the principles of justice. READ MORE

7. 5. Synthesis, Coding, and Evaluation of 3D Images Based on Integral Imaging

   Author : Roger Olsson; Youzhi Xu; Mårten Sjöström; Tingting Zhang; Aljoscha Smolic; Mittuniversitetet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Integral Imaging; 3D images; coding; quality evaluation; H.264 AVC; JP3D; Telecommunication; Telekommunikation;

   Abstract : In recent years camera prototypes based on Integral Imaging (II) have emerged that are capable of capturing three-dimensional (3D) images. When being viewed on a 3D display, these II-pictures convey depth and content that realistically change perspective as the viewer changes the viewing position. READ MORE
