  2. 1. On the Fundamentals of the Engineering Design Process

    Author : Damien Motte; Innovation; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; systems theory; design theory; engineering design; product development; problem solving; creativity; machine design; maskinkonstruktion;

    Abstract : In an industrial context when the product development cycles are shortened and constraints on technical innovations are high, it is very important to provide a very efficient and effective engineering design activity. In the current engineering design literature, most methodologies are by and large based on the so-called systematic engineering design approach. READ MORE

  4. 2. Modeling and simulating inhibitory mechanisms in mental image reinterpretation : towards cooperative human-computer creativity

    Author : Rita Kovordanyi; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Computer science; Datavetenskap;

    Abstract : With the accelerating development of computer and software technology, human-computer cooperation issues are becoming more and more centered on the human user's abilities and weaknesses. The cognitive characteristics of visual communication and reasoning, and how these affect the way users take advantage of the richness of visually represented information comprise one area which needs to be further explored within this context.

  6. 4. The Missing Link : The implementation of priorities for research, development, and innovation

    Author : Erik Brattström; Företagsekonomiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Science policy; research; development; innovation RDI ; priority-setting; implementation; street-level discretion; street-level bureaucracy;

    Abstract : The thesis explores the ‘missing link’ in the study of priority-setting for research, development, and innovation (RDI), namely the processes of implementing RDI priorities, and the consequences of these processes. It does so by focusing on how choices, actions, and motivations of implementers of RDI priorities established elsewhere in the policy system enact, or carry out, the priorities, resulting in new conditions for RDI production.

  7. 5. Tracking mathematical giftedness in an egalitarian context

    Author : Linda Mattsson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; mathematics; giftedness; creativity; identification; characterization; gifted education; gifted education;

    Abstract : In three different studies upper secondary school head teachers’ characterization and identification of mathematical giftedness was investigated. A survey study (Paper II) explored the conceptions held by 36 randomly selected upper secondary school head teachers in mathematics. READ MORE
