  2. 11. Climate change resilience : exploring socio-ecological system resilience for livelihood effects of climate change in peri-urban areas

    Author : Lazaro Mngumi; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Ecosystem services are increasingly regarded as having the potential for building resilience to the effects of climate change in urban and peri-urban areas. Despite this, the knowledge of ecosystem services typologies aligned with analysis of how they might contribute in building resilience for specific effects of climate change is largely lacking, especially in peri-urban areas in Sub-Saharan Africa.

  4. 12. Distributed and Communication-Efficient Continuous Data Processing in Vehicular Cyber-Physical Systems

    Author : Bastian Havers; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Query Spreading; Data Streaming; Vehicular Cyber-Physical Systems; Compression; Edge Computing;

    Abstract : Processing the data produced by modern connected vehicles is of increasing interest for vehicle manufacturers to gain knowledge and develop novel functions and applications for the future of mobility. Connected vehicles form Vehicular Cyber-Physical Systems (VCPSs) that continuously sense increasingly large data volumes from high-bandwidth sensors such as LiDARs (an array of laser-based distance sensors that create a 3D map of the surroundings).

  5. 13. Supporting Video-mediated Communication over the Internet

    Author : Mathias Johanson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; layered multicast; distributed collaborative work; layered video coding; robust video transmission; Internet video; video gateways; video-mediated communication; congestion control; teleconferencing; stereoscopic video;

    Abstract : The tremendous success of the Internet in providing a global communication infrastructure for a wide variety of applications has inspired the invention of packet video systems for synchronous interpersonal communication. The potential benefits of video-mediated communication are numerous, ranging from improved social interactions between individuals to more efficient distributed collaborative work. READ MORE

  6. 14. Modeling the Role of Energy Management in Embodied Cognition

    Author : Alberto Montebelli; Tom Ziemke; Robert Lowe; Högskolan i Skövde; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Technology; Teknik;

    Abstract : The quest for adaptive and autonomous robots, flexible enough to smoothly comply with unstructured environments and operate in close interaction with humans, seems to require a deep rethinking of classical engineering methods. The adaptivity of natural organisms, whose cognitive capacities are rooted in their biological organization, is an obvious source of inspiration. READ MORE

  7. 15. LIFE EVENTS, STRESS AND COPING

    Author : Charlotta Sunnqvist; Lund Psykiatri; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; coping strategies; biological stressmarkers; SUAS-S; Suicide attempt; time-geographic life charting;

    Abstract : In order to increase the understanding of suicidal behaviour, the general aim of the thesis is to gain a profound knowledge of the suicidal individual, and hence to find and ensure a preventive strategy. This will be accomplished by finding and trying new methods for evaluation of suicide risk. READ MORE
