2. 1. Mind Games Extended : Understanding Gameplay as Situated Activity

   Author : Jana Rambusch; Tom Ziemke; Tarja Susi; Ulf Wilhelmsson; T. L. Taylor; Högskolan i Skövde; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; computer gameplay; situatedness; embodied cognition; Teknik; Technology; TECHNOLOGY;

   Abstract : This thesis addresses computer gameplay activities in terms of the physical handling of a game, players’ meaning-making activities, and how these two processes are closely interrelated. It is examined in greater detail which role the body plays in gameplay, but also how gameplay is shaped by sociocultural factors outside the game, including different kind of tools and players’ participation in community practices.

4. 2. Investigating the function of the Receptor Tyrosine Kinase ALK during Drosophila melanogaster development

   Author : Christina Lorén; Mike Taylor; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : DAlk; receptor tyrosine kinase; Jeb; visceral muscle fusion; ERK; Drosophila; endoderm; molecular cell biology; molekylär cellbiologi;

   Abstract : The Drosophila melanogaster gene Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (DAlk) is homologous to mammalian Alk, which is a member of the Alk/Ltk family of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs). In humans the t(2;5) translocation involving the Alk locus encodes an active form of Alk that is the causative agent in Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (Morris et al., 1994). READ MORE

5. 3. Processing Asymmetries of Emotionally Valenced Stimuli

   Author : Mats Dahl; Institutionen för psykologi; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Psychology; recollective experience; remember-know; memory; encoding; processing asymmetries; emotional words; emotional faces; affective pictures; emotion; affective information; Psykologi;

   Abstract : The central phenomenon investigated concerns the valence-based process asymmetry found in several earlier studies (e.g. Pratto & John, 1991; Taylor, 1991), where negative stimuli seem to initiate more thorough processing than positive stimuli. This finding was consistent in the three empirical studies forming this dissertation. READ MORE

6. 4. Kalman Filters for Nonlinear Systems and Heavy-Tailed Noise

   Author : Michael Roth; Fredrik Gustafsson; Simo Särkkä; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : This thesis is on filtering in state space models. First, we examine approximate Kalman filters for nonlinear systems, where the optimal Bayesian filtering recursions cannot be solved exactly. These algorithms rely on the computation of certain expected values. READ MORE

7. 5. Power Games : Rules and Roles in Second Life

   Author : Maria Bäcke; Blekinge Tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; performance; role-play; Second Life; online worlds; virtual worlds; virtual; digital space; rules; hierarchies; subversion; power; negotiation; make-believe; Media and Communication Studies;

   Abstract : This study investigates how the members of four different role-playing communities on the online platform Second Life perform social as well as dramatic roles within their community. The trajectories of power influencing these roles are my main focus. READ MORE
