  2. 1. Contours of Cognition

    Author : Trond A. Tjøstheim; Kognitiv modellering; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; computational; cognitive; neuroscience; perception; memory; spatial cognition; trust; pupil dynamics; reflection; thinking; intelligence; reinforcement learning; foraging; allostasis; decision making;

    Abstract : This thesis concerns the nature of cognition. It posits that cognitive processes primarily are means to maintain allostasis in organisms whose ecological niches require movement to approach food-resources and avoid predation. READ MORE

  4. 2. Regenerative Placemaking: Ecosociospatial practices beyond conventional sustainability

    Author : Sigrid Östlund; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; publicly shared space; spatial poetics; regenerative spatial design; design thinking; performative design research; waste-resource systems; beyond sustainability; placemaking; nonmodernity;

    Abstract : This study aims to understand and develop a designerly interpretation of the growing call to move beyond (conventional) sustainability that emerged in the late 1990’s. It does so through a theoretical and practical exploration of the implications of regenerative design principles for placemaking. READ MORE

  5. 3. Image processing on optimal volume sampling lattices : Thinking outside the box

    Author : Elisabeth Schold Linnér; Robin Strand; Ewert Bengtsson; Alexandre Falcão; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; BCC; FCC; aliasing; distance transform; segmentation; Computerized Image Processing; Datoriserad bildbehandling;

    Abstract : This thesis summarizes a series of studies of how image quality is affected by the choice of sampling pattern in 3D. Our comparison includes the Cartesian cubic (CC) lattice, the body-centered cubic (BCC) lattice, and the face-centered cubic (FCC) lattice. READ MORE

  6. 4. Designing the Edge : An Inquiry into the Psychospatial Nature of Meaning in the Architecture of the Urban Waterfront

    Author : Konstantinos Ioannidis; Katja Grillner; Lars-Henrik Ståhl; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Urban design and theory; spatial psychology; spatial meaning; compositional strategies; formulative logic; waterfront design and spatial organization; psychospatial reading; transformational relations; design of the edge; Architecture; Arkitektur;

    Abstract : The initial goal of this effort is to develop a discussion on urban design process and thinking that acknowledges the needs of places with meaning in the design of the urban waterfront. The thesis addresses the fact that the problematic of the coastal formulation is intricate, comprising not only aspects related to the spatial organization and design of its domain but also shared properties originated by the presence and movement of the perceiving subject in the area.

  7. 5. Learning System Thinking : The role of semiotic and cognitive resources

    Author : Maria Larsson; Kognitionsvetenskap; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; systems thinking; collaborative modeling; learning; external representations; cognition; semiotics; system dynamics;

    Abstract : In the course of our educational life we are introduced to various subject areas, each with its specific way of representing knowledge. The challenge for the learner is to be able to think in ways that are supported by, and match, the representational format. A fundamental question for the science of learning concerns how this is achieved. READ MORE
