2. 1. Crossing the threshold : Visualization design and conceptual understanding of evolution

   Author : Andreas C. Göransson; Lena Tibell; Konrad Schönborn; Anat Yarden; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Evolution; Natural selection; Visualization; Conceptual understanding; Conceptual change;

   Abstract : The theory of evolution is considered the unifying theory of biology. An accurate understanding of evolution is vital both for the understanding of diverse topics in biology, but also for societal issues such as antibiotic resistance or biodiversity. READ MORE

4. 2. Collision Threshold Pressure : A novel measure of voice function Effects of vocal warm-up, vocal loading and resonance tube phonation in water

   Author : Laura Enflo; Anita McAllister; Johan Sundberg; Marc de Bodt; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : The phonation threshold pressure (PTP), i.e., the smallest amount of subglottal pressure needed to initiate and sustain vocal fold oscillation, is frequently difficult to measure due to the difficulty for some subjects to produce extremely soft phonation. In addition, PTP values are often quite scattered. READ MORE

5. 3. Improved computerized perimetric threshold strategies

   Author : Boel Bengtsson; Oftalmologi (Malmö); []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; probability maps; normal limits; test time; clinical testing; test strategies. glaucoma; test algorithms; false positive answers; Visual field testing; computerized perimetry; Ophtalmology; Oftalmologi;

   Abstract : Perimetric threshold examination is the most important method for diagnosing and monitoring patients with glaucoma. Such examination, however, is time-consuming and often difficult for the elderly patients in whom glaucoma is prevalent. Shorter test strategies have been proposed, but unfortunately also with lower test quality. READ MORE

6. 4. Building the city from the inside : architecture and urban transformation in Los Angeles, Porto, and Las Vegas

   Author : Hannes Frykholm; Daniel Koch; Catharina Gabrielsson; Roemer van Toorn; Albena Yaneva; KTH; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Interior urbanism; architecture; urban transformation; threshold; lobby; temporality; labor; atmosphere; aesthetics; estetik; design; design; Stadsbyggnad;

   Abstract : Positioned in the research field of “interior urbanism” (Rice, 2016), this thesis considers entrance situations that occur between buildings and cities in order to develop new ways of investigating the relationship between architecture and urban transformation. From the main research question—How does architecture mediate urban transformation?—the thesis focuses on experience-driven narratives about the city (Pine & Gilmore, 2011). READ MORE

7. 5. The Role of Odor and Sensory Irritation in Human Chemical Sensitivity

   Author : Li Zheng; Birgitta Berglund; Staffan Hygge; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Odor and irritation detection; recognition; threshold; choice theory; intensity; chemical sensitivity; threshold; and sensitivity index.; Psychology; Psykologi; Psychology; psykologi;

   Abstract : The main objective of this thesis is to apply complimentary psychophysical theories and methods to investigate human perception of odor and sensory irritation of chemical compounds present in indoor air. Three psychophysical theories: Signal Detection Theory (SDT), Threshold Theory and Luce’s Choice Theory (CT) were applied to measure detection and recognition of odor and sensory irritation of two odorous irritants (pyridine and formaldehyde) by using the method of constant stimuli.
