  2. 16. Two Topics in Survey Methodology : Inference from Nonprobability Samples Using the Double Samples Setup

    Author : Boris Lorenc; Daniel Thorburn; Lars Lyberg; Gösta Forsman; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; response process; establishment surveys; socially distributed cognition; response burden; measurement error; nonprobability samples; web surveys; double samples; propensity scores; model-based estimation; imputation; nonparametric imputation; weighting; Surveying; Lantmäteri;

    Abstract : Modelling the response process in establishment surveys proceeded thus far by adding steps of operational character to the core cognitive steps of the individual cognitive model. Here (Paper 1) a larger unit of the cognitive analysis is posited: that part of the enterprise that is engaged in responding to a survey, consisting of one or more employees, the tools they use and the established practices of record keeping and survey responding.

  4. 17. Escaping the riptide : probing the malleability of cognition

    Author : Nicholas Judd; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Cognitive abilities are essential for functioning in daily life – even something as mundane as going to the grocery store taps into a variety of cognitive functions. Exactly how and under what circumstances they can be improved has led to over a century of academic debate. READ MORE

  5. 18. Exploring models of time processing : effects of training and modality, and the relationship with cognition in rhythmic motor tasks

    Author : Olympia Karampela; Guy Madison; Linus Holm; Fredrik Ullén; Simon Grondin; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; timing; motor timing; cogntion; dedicated models; intrinsic models; timing variability;

    Abstract : Timing can be defined as the ability to perceive temporal sequences and regulate timed behaviors. As in other animals, our ability to make accurate time estimations is crucial in order to accomplish several activities. Organisms can process time over a wide range of durations ranging from microseconds to days. READ MORE

  6. 19. Cognition and decision-making in adoption of agricultural decision support systems : the case of precision agriculture

    Author : Christina Lundström; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Precision agriculture (PA) has a central role to play in a sustainable intensification trajectory of agriculture, including increased yields and decreased environmental impact. Although grounded in advanced technologies this still implies that the individual farmer will have to develop knowledge that is complex, diverse and local. READ MORE

  7. 20. Interoperability Infrastructure and Incremental learning for unreliable heterogeneous communicating Systems

    Author : Abdul Haseeb; Mihhail Matskin; Jüri Vain; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Interoperability; Incremental learning; Unreliable heterogeneous communicating Systems; Robotics; Computer science; Datavetenskap;

    Abstract : In a broader sense the main research objective of this thesis (and ongoing research work) is distributed knowledge management for mobile dynamic systems. But the primary focus and presented work focuses on communication/interoperability of heterogeneous entities in an infrastructure less paradigm, a distributed resource manipulation infrastructure and distributed learning in the absence of global knowledge.
