2. 1. Learning ecosystem complexity : A study on small-scale fishers’ ecological knowledge generation

   Author : Diana Garavito-Bermúdez; Camilla Thunborg; Cecilia Lundholm; Beatrice Crona; Alan Reid; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; small-scale fishers; informal learning; knowledge generation; systems thinking; ecological knowledge; ecosystem complexity; work practices; emotional bonds to place; sustainable fisheries management; environmental learning; Vättern; Blekinge; Baltic Sea.; pedagogik; Education;

   Abstract : Small-scale fisheries are learning contexts of importance for generating, transferring, and updating ecological knowledge of natural environments through everyday work practices. The rich knowledge fishers have of local ecosystems is the result of the intimate relationship fishing communities have had with their natural environments across generations (see e. READ MORE

4. 2. Modularization of the Learning Architecture : Supporting Learning Theories by Learning Technologies

   Author : Fredrik Paulsson; Yngve Sundblad; Miguel Angel-Cecilia; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Computer Science; Technology Enhanced Learning; e-learning; Semantic Web; Service Orientation; Learning Object; Virtual Learning Environment; Computer science; Datavetenskap;

   Abstract : This thesis explores the role of modularity for achieving a better adaptation of learning technology to pedagogical requirements. In order to examine the interrelations that occur between pedagogy and computer science, a theoretical framework rooted in both fields is applied. READ MORE

5. 3. Making Room for Complexity in Group Collaborations: The Roles of Scaffolding and Facilitation

   Author : Pia Andersson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; action research; adult development; awareness; coaction; collective efficacy; complexity; group facilitation; hope; metacognition; methods for complex issues; scaffolding;

   Abstract : This thesis has a dual objective: the theoretical aim is to analyse how developmental scaffolding influences the way that group participants’ conceptions about societal issues of concern, appropriate goals and courses of action change as their awareness of the interconnectedness between different issues, conditions, causes and consequences increase. On a practical level, the thesis aims to contribute insights into the craft and role of facilitation for facilitators, project leaders, dialogue designers and other practitioners whose engagement in group processes involves scaffolding the understanding of issues that have a considerable degree of complexity.

6. 4. Machine Learning for Wireless Link Adaptation : Supervised and Reinforcement Learning Theory and Algorithms

   Author : Vidit Saxena; Joakim Jaldén; Mats Bengtsson; Hugo Tullberg; Jakob Hoydis; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Wireless Communications; Reinforcement Learning; Multi-Armed Bandits; Thompson Sampling; Convex Optimization; Deep Learning; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

   Abstract : Wireless data communication is a complex phenomenon. Wireless links encounter random, time-varying, channel effects that are challenging to predict and compensate. Hence, to optimally utilize the channel, wireless links adapt the data transmission parameters in real time. READ MORE

7. 5. Rethinking power in participatory planning : Towards reflective practice

   Author : Martin Westin; Kaisa Raitio; Tim Richardson; Camilo Calderon; Jonna Bornemark; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Power; participation; frame theory; planning; planners; facilitation; reflective practice; phronesis; Makt; deltagande; dialog; ramteori; planering; planerare; facilitering; process design; reflekterande praktik;

   Abstract : High hopes for democracy and sustainability are placed on participatory planning. Policy makers and scholars argue that broad participation can revitalise democracy and tackle sustainability challenges. Yet, critics claim that power asymmetries stand in the way of realising the potential of participatory planning. READ MORE
