2. 1. Spatial transcriptome and epigenome analysis with focus on prostate cancer

   Author : Maja Marklund; Joakim Lundeberg; Patrik Ståhl; Marc Friedländer; KTH; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Spatial; Spatial Transcriptomics; Spatial ATAC; epigenomics; Biotechnology; Bioteknologi;

   Abstract : Each cancer is unique, and therefore the use of general treatments are often suboptimal. If we can understand the mechanisms of cancer development, we might be able to develop effective treatments tailored to each patient. Our bodies are complex three-dimensional structures and how things are organized correlate with proper functioning. READ MORE

4. 2. Contours of Cognition

   Author : Trond A. Tjøstheim; Kognitiv modellering; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; computational; cognitive; neuroscience; perception; memory; spatial cognition; trust; pupil dynamics; reflection; thinking; intelligence; reinforcement learning; foraging; allostasis; decision making;

   Abstract : This thesis concerns the nature of cognition. It posits that cognitive processes primarily are means to maintain allostasis in organisms whose ecological niches require movement to approach food-resources and avoid predation. READ MORE

5. 3. Investigating the role of spatial ability as a factor of human intelligence in technology education : Towards a causal theory of the relationship between spatial ability and STEM education

   Author : Jeffrey Buckley; Niall Seery; Donal Canty; Lena Gumaelius; David Spendlove; KTH; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Education is a particularly complex discipline due to the numerous variables which impact on teaching and learning. Due to the large effect of human intelligence on the variance in student educational achievement, there is a substantial need to further contemporary understandings of its role in education.

6. 4. A Representation Scheme for Description and Reconstruction of Object Configurations Based on Qualitative Relations

   Author : Heike Joe Steinhauer; Erik Sandewall; Alexander Klippel; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Qualitative Reasoning; Spatial Reasoning; Cognitive Modeling; Human-Machine Interaction; Coarse Reasoning; Artificial Intelligence; Computer science; Datavetenskap;

   Abstract : One reason Qualitative Spatial Reasoning (QSR) is becoming increasingly important to Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the need for a smooth ‘human-like’ communication between autonomous agents and people. The selected, yet general, task motivating the work presented here is the scenario of an object configuration that has to be described by an observer on the ground using only relational object positions.

7. 5. Artefactual Intelligence: The Development and Use of Cognitively Congenial Artefacts

   Author : David de Léon; Kognitionsvetenskap; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; pervasive computing; affective computing; persuasive computing; Psychology; Psykologi; computer-mediated extrospection; precommitment; self-control; situated cognition; distributed motivation; cognitive ethnography; distributed cognition; cognitive biographies; redesign; task–artefact cycle; artefact evolution; artefact design; task structure; cognitive task; cognitive congeniality; artefactual intelligence; cognitive artefacts; task environment; tools; Cognition; artefacts; ubiquitous computing;

   Abstract : How can tools help structure tasks to make them cognitively easier to perform? How do artefacts, and our strategies for using them, develop over time in cognitively beneficial ways? These are two of the main questions that are explored in the five papers collected in this thesis. The first paper details an ethnographic study conducted on people cooking in their homes. READ MORE
