  2. 16. Designing Interactive Learning Environments to Support Learners’ Understanding in Complex Domains

    Author : Marcelo Milrad; Växjö universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; interactive learning environments; complex domains; social constructivism; collaborative learning; construction kits; system dynamics simulations; collaborative modelling tools.; Information technology; Informationsteknologi; Cognitive science; Kognitionsvetenskap; Media Technology; Media Technology;

    Abstract : This dissertation focuses on the design of interactive learning environments (ILEs) to support learning in complex domains. Previous research efforts in this field indicate that we lack a well-articulated design framework with sufficient detail to take us from a socially-situated, problem-based, collaborative learning perspective to the design of a particular learning environment for a particular subject domain.

  4. 17. Usability in Transportation : Improving the analysis of cognitive work tasks

    Author : Mikael Erlandsson; Anders Jansson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Datavetenskap med inriktning mot människa-datorinteraktion; Computer Science with specialization in Human-Computer Interaction;

    Abstract : In most vehicle domains within the transportation sector, traffic is increasing and vehicles are becoming more technologically advanced. In addition to this, drivers are faced with conflicting goals, such as punctuality, maintaining safety, minimizing fuel consumption, ensuring passenger comfort, etc. READ MORE

  5. 18. Cooperative communication for multi-user cognitive radio networks

    Author : Maksym Girnyk; Lars Kildehöj Rasmussen; Fredrik Rusek; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : In recent years, the main trend in wireless communications has been shifted from voice transmission to data-centric communication. This shift has caused an increase in the data rate requirements for future wireless communication systems. These requirements result in need for large bandwidth. READ MORE

  6. 19. Biomarkers as Monitors of Drug Effect, Diagnostic Tools and Predictors of Deterioration Rate in Alzheimer’s Disease

    Author : Malin Degerman Gunnarsson; Lena Kilander; Hans Basun; Jan Marcusson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Alzheimer s disease; biomarkers; CSF; PIB PET; amyloid-beta; tau; rapid cognitive decline; dying in severe dementia; mortality; neuropsychological tests; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science;

    Abstract : Decreased amyloid-ß42 (Aß42), increased total tau (t-tau) and phosphorylated tau (p-tau) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) reflect histopathological core changes in the most common dementia disorder, Alzheimer’s disease (AD). They discriminate AD from healthy controls and predict conversion to AD with a relatively high accuracy. READ MORE

  7. 20. Genetic and cognitive aspects on recovery after propofol anaesthesia

    Author : Marja Lindqvist; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : propofol;

    Abstract : Propofol is one of the most used intravenous anaesthetics in the western world. It is often used for ambulatory surgery due to favourable pharmacokinetic properties allowing quick onset and short emergence time. However, there is considerable interindividual variation in pharmacokinetics and dynamics as well as gender differences. READ MORE
