2. 21. Algorithms and Complexity for Temporal and Spatial Formalisms

   Author : Thomas Drakengren; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : The problem of computing with temporal information was early recognised within the area of artificial intelligence, most notably the temporal interval algebra by Allen has become a widely used formalism for representing and computing with qualitative knowledge about relations between temporal intervals. However, the computational properties of the algebra and related-formalisms are known to be bad: most problems (like satisfiability) are NP-hard. READ MORE

4. 22. Spatial complexity and fit between ecology and management : Making sense of patterns in fragmented landscapes

   Author : Arvid Bergsten; Örjan Bodin; Emily Minor; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Connectivity; Conservation; Dispersal; Ecological knowledge; Ecology; Forest; Fragmentation; Graph theory; Institutional fit; Landscape; Management; Metapopulation; Municipal ecologist; Network; Planning; Protected area; Scale mismatch; Social-Ecological; Urban; Wetland; naturresurshushållning; Natural Resources Management;

   Abstract : Avoiding the negative effects of habitat fragmentation on biodiversity is especially challenging when also the management institutions are spatially and administratively distributed. This doctoral thesis introduces five case studies that investigate ecological, social and social-ecological relations in fragmented landscapes. READ MORE

5. 23. Spatial and Numerical Abilities in Infants and Toddlers

   Author : Elin Schröder; Gustaf Gredebäck; Linda Forssman; Nora Newcombe; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Having a basic understanding of numbers and math is important for functioning in society. The first mathematical challenge children meet is to learn to understand the natural numbers (the positive integers 1, 2 ,3…). Children must learn what number words symbolize and how to use counting to determine the number of elements in a set. READ MORE

6. 24. Stewardship in an urban world : Civic engagement and human–nature relations in the Anthropocene

   Author : Johan Enqvist; Maria Tengö; Örjan Bodin; Bengt G. Karlsson; Richard C. Stedman; Morgan Grove; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; agency; Bengaluru; boundary object; care; civil society; community; environmental ethics; knowledge; natural resource management; New York City; problem of fit; rigidity trap; sense of place; social–ecological system; urbanization; water governance; Sustainability Science; vetenskap om hållbar utveckling;

   Abstract : Never before have humans wielded a greater ability to alter and disrupt planetary processes. Our impact is becoming so noticeable that a new geological epoch has been proposed – the Anthropocene – in which Earth systems might no longer maintain the stable and predictable conditions of the past 12 millennia.

7. 25. Individual Differences in Multitasking : Support for Spatiotemporal Offloading

   Author : Ivo Todorov; Timo Mäntylä; Fredrik Jönsson; Patrik Sörqvist; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; multitasking; cognitive offloading; cognitive functions; individual differences; executive functions; spatial ability; sex differences; Psychology; psykologi;

   Abstract : In both the private and work spheres, multitasking among three or more activities has become and is continuing to evolve as a pervasive element of everyday life, and recent technological advances only seem to be exacerbating the process. Despite attempts to understand the mental processes that let humans successfully multitask, little is known about the functional cognitive level at which these mental processes take place. READ MORE
