    Author : Kristina Lindström; Åsa Ståhl; Nina Wakeford; Malmö högskola; []
    Keywords : design; media; collaboration; making; technology; materiality; material turn; interaction design; media and communication studies; publics; feminist technoscience;

    Abstract : This is a collaborative practice-based thesis by publication written across two disciplines: interaction design, and media and communication studies. Based on Threads – a Mobile Sewing Circle, a travelling exhibition in which participants are invited to embroider an SMS by hand and with an embroidery machine connected to a mobile phone, this thesis puts forward the concept of publics-in-the-making.

  4. 12. Designing for Peer Learning : Mathematics, Games and Peer Groups in Leisure-time Centers

    Author : Åsa Harvard Maare; Sune Vork Steffensen; Kognitionsvetenskap; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Leisure-time centers; mathematics; embodied interaction; design research; motivation; observational learning; Leisure-time centers;

    Abstract : Constrained by national tests and the mathematics curriculum, teachers have problems finding time for exploratory and hands-on mathematical activities, especially so in classes with a reduced pace of progression, for example because of a large proportion of second-language learners. Could the leisure-time center, where time is not earmarked, provide such opportunities? The conclusion of this thesis is that this can be done, on the condition that designed activities build on the central premise of the leisure-time center: children have the right to choose which activities to engage with.

  5. 13. Integrated Design-Build Management - Studying Institutional Processes to Understand Project Coordination & Performance

    Author : Lea Urup; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; coordination; institutional work; and; project performance.; design-build;

    Abstract : An increasing number of actors contributing with their skills to design-build projects increase the need for and complexity of coordination. The design-build project delivery method proposes to coordinate actors through collaborative interaction; however, even design-build projects result in poor coordination and building of relatively poor quality.

  6. 14. CAD-Model Parsing for Automated Design and Design Evaluation

    Author : Roland Stolt; Staffan Sunnersjö; Ola Isaksson; Jönköping University; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Design automation; CAD; KBE; Feature based modelling; Feature recognition; Product development.; Industrial engineering and economy; Industriell teknik och ekonomi;

    Abstract : Product development has both innovative and analytic sides. Starting from the requirements, a design suggestion is generated. In order to assess how well the envisioned design fulfils the requirements, it is sometimes necessary to build a computer model of it for the analysis. READ MORE

  7. 15. Between Daring and Deliberating : 3G as a Sustainability Issue in Swedish Spatial Planning

    Author : Stefan Larsson; Rättssociologiska institutionen; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; 3G; UMTS; spatial planning; sociology of law; sustainability issues; sustainable development; public participation; infrastructure development; the precautionary principle; fear of radiation; strategic decision-making; sociology of law; sustainable development; infrastructure development; strategic decision-making; fear of radiation; public participation; the precautionary principle; spatial planning; sustainability issues; UMTS; 3G;

    Abstract : The thesis shows how different aspects of sustainable development have been handled or not handled in the third generation infrastructure development in Sweden. The difference between the design of the 3G development – emphazising competition, growth and regional access, based on a strong technological optimism - and the implementation, as the roll out struck the landscape, including the non-handled radiation issue and the legal changes in order to facilitate the roll out, is discussed and analyzed.
