2. 1. Wicked Problems in Engineering Education : Preparing Future Engineers to Work for Sustainability

   Author : Johanna Lönngren; Magdalena Svanström; Åke Ingerman; Tom Adawi; John Holmberg; Marie Paretti; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; wicked problem; engineering education; sustainability; phenomenography; assessment; rubric; design-based research; action research; perspective shift; ill-structured problems; problem-solving; didactics of natural science; naturvetenskapens didaktik;

   Abstract : Most engineering education today does not adequately prepare students to contribute to sustainability. For example, engineering students often do not learn how to address complex and ill-structured sustainability problems that involve different stakeholders, value conflicts,and uncertainty; such problems are also called wicked problems.

4. 2. Geospatial Knowledge Discovery using Volunteered Geographic Information : a Complex System Perspective

   Author : Tao Jia; Bin Jiang; Yifang Ban; Itzhak Benenson; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; knowledge discovery; urban systems; complex system; VGI; OSM; GPS tracking dataset; scaling; heavy-tailed distribution detection; urban sprawl; Zipf’s law; human activity mobility patterns; agent-based modeling; complex network.;

   Abstract : The continuous progression of urbanization has resulted in an increasing number of people living in cities or towns. In parallel, advancements in technologies, such as the Internet, telecommunications, and transportation, have allowed for better connectivity among people. READ MORE

5. 3. Understanding Complex Problems in Healthcare : By Applying a Free-Flowing Design Practice

   Author : Anna Thies; Teresa Cerratto-Pargman; Jalal Nouri; Bridget Kane; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Healthcare in Sweden is in need of a transformation. The increase of chronic conditions poses a great challenge to the organisational structure of healthcare, which still largely remains based on acute, rather than chronic care. READ MORE

6. 4. Approximation problems and weights

   Author : Adem Limani; Matematik (naturvetenskapliga fakulteten); []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; approximation problems; weights; Spaces of analytic functions;

   Abstract : This thesis is mainly concerned with investigations of approximation problems on spaces of analytic functions on the unit disc in the complex plane, which naturally arise in connection to spectral problems of certain classes of linear operators acting on the spaces in question. For instance, quasi-nilpotency of certain analytic paraproducts on the Hardy spaces and on the Bergman spaces are investigated. READ MORE

7. 5. Capturing health in the elderly population : Complex health problems, mortality, and allocation of home-help services

   Author : Bettina Meinow; Mats Thorslund; Marti G Parker; Ingemar Kåreholt; Björn Halleröd; Stockholms universitet; []
