2. 1. Embodied Pedagogical Agents: From Visual Impact to Pedagogical Implications

   Author : Magnus Haake; Ergonomi och aerosolteknologi; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; masculinity; role modelling; cognitive styles; stereotypes; education; pedagogical implications; visual style; virtual characters; visual design; Virtual pedagogical agents; femininity; gender; androgynities;

   Abstract : Embodied pedagogical agents – visually represented, computer generated characters in pedagogical roles, such as virtual instructors, mentors and learning companions – populate the digital society in increasing numbers. They are found in educational programmes from preschool to university, as well as in broader educational contexts in the form of medical counsellors, virtual health coaches, information guides, etc. READ MORE

   Author : Görkem Paçacı; Andreas Hamfelt; Alberto Pettorossi; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Programming; Syntax; Logic Programming; Combilog; CombInduce; Prolog; Variable-free; Point-free; Tacit; Compositional Relational Programming; Combinatory Logic; Predicate-Functor Logic; Program Synthesis; Meta-interpreters; Meta-interpretative Synthesis; Decompositional Synthesis; Inductive Synthesis; Inductive Logic Programming; Usability; Cognitive Dimensions of Notations; Visual Variables; Usability testing; Programming Language usability; Empirical evidence; Informationssystem; Information Systems;

   Abstract : Usability aspects of programming languages are often overlooked, yet have a substantial effect on programmer productivity. These issues are even more acute in the field of Inductive Synthesis, where programs are automatically generated from sample expected input and output data, and the programmer needs to be able to comprehend, and confirm or reject the suggested programs.

5. 3. Supporting evidence-based design using lighting simulations : A framework for lighting simulation of visual comfort in building design

   Author : Anahita Davoodi; Myriam Aries; Peter Johansson; Thorbjörn Laike; John Mardaljevic; Jönköping University; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Lighting quality; visual comfort; lighting simulation; evidence-based design; field study; post-occupancy evaluation; Ljuskvalitet; visuell komfort; ljussimulering; evidensbaserad design; fältstudie; brukarutvärderingar;

   Abstract : This research aims to integrate lighting simulation into the evidence-based design process for achieving improved lighting outcomes in built environments with a particular emphasis on visual comfort analysis in office settings. The objectives of the study include 1) understanding the current usage of lighting simulation tools, learning designers’ experiences' and needs, 2) providing a conceptual framework to integrate the use of lighting simulation in the evidence-based design (EBD) process, 3) testing the usage of the conceptual framework (named EBD-SIM) through two field studies.

6. 4. On vision in old age. A longitudinal study of subjects 70 to 97 years old

   Author : Birgitta Bergman; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; elderly; hearing impairment; intervention; longitudinal study; ocular disorders; old; risk factors; visual ability; visual acuity VA ;

   Abstract : Aims. The main purpose of this study was to investigate different aspects of vision and visual function in old people, like change in vision and visual ability, to study the natural course of eye diseases, assess needs of visual intervention, investigate risk factors for ocular disorders late in life, and also to investigate coexistence between visual and hearing impairments.

7. 5. Visual navigation in a conspicuously planar world

   Author : Per Fornland; KTH; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : This thesis addresaee an important topic in computer vision,namely finding the ground plane and potential obstacles in theimages taken by an indoor mobile platform. This is ofimportante, since the platform then automatically can detect ifit can continue on its path. READ MORE
