  2. 1. Towards Automated Support for the Co-Evolution of Meta-Models and Grammars

    Author : Weixing Zhang; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Blended Modeling; Co-Evolution; Systematic Literature Review; Grammar Optimization; Xtext; Blended Modeling; Systematic Literature Review; Xtext; Grammar Optimization; Co-Evolution;

    Abstract : Blended modeling is an emerging paradigm involving seamless interaction between multiple notations for the same underlying modeling language. We focus on a model-driven engineering (MDE) approach based on meta-models to develop textual languages to improve the blended modeling capabilities of modeling tools. READ MORE

  4. 2. Hybrid E-learning for Rural Secondary Schools in Uganda : Co-evolution in Triple Helix Processes

    Author : Peter Okidi Lating; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Secondary Schools; Hybrid E-Learning; Multilevel Analysis; Rural; Gender; Triple Helix; Physics and Mathematics; Mode 2; CD-ROMs; ICT Research Centre; Information Society; Uganda;

    Abstract : For the last two decades, a number of policies aimed at increasing participation of female students in higher education have been implemented by Uganda Government. However, the participation of female students in the engineering courses in Makerere University, Uganda’s biggest University, has remained between 17% to 20% only. READ MORE

  5. 3. SEA CHANGE : Social-ecological co-evolution in Baltic Sea fisheries

    Author : Jonas Hentati-Sundberg; Henrik Österblom; Joakim Hjelm; Trevor Branch; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; resilience; social-ecological systems; complex adaptive systems; fisheries; Baltic Sea; Sustainability Science; vetenskap om hållbar utveckling;

    Abstract : Sustainable management of natural resources requires an in-depth understanding of the interplay between social and ecological change. Linked social-ecological systems (SES) have been described as complex adaptive systems (CAS), which mean that they are irreducible, exhibit nonlinear dynamics, have interactions across scales and are uncertain and unpredictable.

  6. 4. Towards a sustainable automotive industry : experiences from the development of emission control systems

    Author : David Bauner; Staffan Laestadius; Lee Schipper; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; evolutionary economics; environmental innovation; trajectories; co-evolution; Industrial engineering and economy; Industriell teknik och ekonomi;

    Abstract : From the mid-1970s and on, the contribution to air pollution of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides from gasoline passenger cars in the developed world has been reduced through co-evolution of regulation and commercial introduction of catalytic emission control technology, now part of hundreds of millions of cars, trucks and buses worldwide. This dissertation is a disaggregated study of the global introduction of catalytic emission control technology as a measure to reduce local air pollution. READ MORE

  7. 5. Aposematism, Crypsis and Population Differentiation in the Strawberry Poison Frog

    Author : Andreas Rudh; Anna Qvarnström; Jacob Höglund; Michael Speed; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; co-evolution; population divergence; natural selection; sexual selection; warning colouration; Oophaga pumilio; Dendrobates pumilio; aggression; explorative behaviour; colour patterns; Biologi med inriktning mot zooekologi; Biology with specialization in Animal Ecology;

    Abstract : Evolutionary transitions between the two major predator avoidance strategies aposematism and crypsis are expected to be associated with changes in many important traits of animals. However, empirical studies on populations experiencing ongoing or recent transitions between these strategies are rare. READ MORE
