  2. 1. Acquisition of reference to self and others in Greek Sign Language : From pointing gesture to pronominal pointing signs

    Author : Marianna Hatzopoulou; Brita Bergman; Richard P. Meier; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; deaf children; Greek Sign Language; personal pronouns; pointing; pointing signs; reference; sign language acquisition; Sign language; Teckenspråk; Sign Language; teckenspråk;

    Abstract : This dissertation explores the emergence of the linguistic use of pointing as first- and non-first-person pronoun in Greek Sign Language. Despite the similarity in form between the pointing gesture and pronominal pointing signs, children acquiring sign language pass through the same stages and acquire personal pronouns at about the same age as children acquiring spoken language.

  4. 2. Pointing, Placing, Touching : Physical Manipulation and Coordination Techniques for Interactive Meeting Spaces

    Author : Johan Mattsson; Carl Gustaf Jansson; Norberet Streitz; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Computer and systems science; Data- och systemvetenskap;

    Abstract : In the design and study of dedicated ubiquitous computing environments, efforts to enhance and support co-located collaborative activities and work have been a particular focus. In his vision of ubiquitous computing, Mark Weiser foresees a new era of computing, one that closes and follows on from the era of Personal Computing (Post Desktop). READ MORE

  5. 3. Visual and proprioceptive control of arm movements : studies of development and dysfunction

    Author : Birgit Rösblad; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Vision; proprioception; reaching; pointing; arm movements; child; motor impairments; sensorimotor development;

    Abstract : The aim of this dissertation was to examine the role of sensory information for control of goal-directed arm movements in children. The role of visual and proprioceptive information on the target for end point accuracy was examined in normal 4- to 12-year- old children (Study I), and in children with motor impairments (Study II).

  6. 4. Laser-Driven Plasma Waves for Particle Acceleration and X-ray Production

    Author : Guillaume Genoud; Atomfysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Laser plasma acceleration of electrons and protons; laser-wakefield acceleration; plasma waves; plasma-wiggler radiation; betatron radiation; laser guiding; laser pointing stabilisation;

    Abstract : This thesis presents experimental results related to laser plasma accelerators. These rely on very different principles from conventional particle accelerators. READ MORE

  7. 5. Effects of eye and neck muscle proprioception on ocular motor control in normal and strabismic subjects

    Author : Ying Han; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : strabismus; binocular function; proprioception; eye position; muscle vibration; eye muscle; neck muscle; hand pointing; accommodative vergence movement; dynamics;

    Abstract : Abundant proprioceptive information originates in eye and neck muscles but their role in normal visual function is unknown. Under experimental conditions, proprioceptive activation induces illusory visual movement, whereas clinical evidence indicates that proprioceptive dysfunction causes disturbances in spatial orientation.
