Challenging Gender Stereotypes using Virtual Pedagocical Characters

This paper explores motivational and cognitive effects of more neutral or androgynous-looking versus more feminine-looking and masculine-looking virtual characters. A user study is presented, in which 158 students, aged 17-19, encountered four virtual characters that were visually manipulated to represent gender stereotypicality versus androgyny. On the one hand we explored students’ attitudes tow

A Study of a Hospital Operating Unit as a Foundation for Future Improvements

Popular Abstract in Swedish Det huvudsakliga syftet med den presenterade forskningen var att bygga en förståelse för hur dynamiken mellan professioner, verktyg och objekt fungerar på en operationsavdelning, som ett led i framtagandet av kunskap användbar vid design av framtidens operationsavdelning med fokus på arbetsmiljö, effektivitet och patient säkerhet. Igenom att undersöka hur olika professiThe main objective of the research presented was to gain an understanding of how the dynamics between professionals, tools and objectives work in an operating unit in order to obtain knowledge useful when designing the operating unit of the future with emphasis on the work environment, effectiveness and patient safety. By investigating how different professions in the operating theatre view their

A Case Study on Regression Test Suite Maintenance in System Evolution

When a system is maintained, its automated test suites must also be maintained to keep the tests up to date. Even though practice indicates that test suite maintenance can be very costly we have seen few studies considering the actual efforts for maintenance of testware. We conducted a case study on an evolving system with three updated versions, changed with three different change strategies.

περὶ φιλίας ἕποιτ᾽ ἂν διελθεῖν· ἔστι γὰρ ἀρετή τις ἢ μετ᾽ ἀρετῆς, ἔτι δ᾽ ἀναγκαιότατον εἰς τὸν βίον. ἄνευ γὰρ φίλων οὐδεὶς ἕλοιτ᾽ ἂν ζῆν, ἔχων τὰ λοιπὰ ἀγαθὰ πάντα. Härnäst är det dags att avhandla vänskapen. Den är en sorts dygd eller förekommer tillsammans med dygden. Dessutom är vänskap det som man allra mest behöver för att leva, för utan vänner skulle ingen vilja leva, även om han hade allt m

Assessment of Total Evacuation Systems for Tall Buildings

This report focuses on the use of egress models to assess the optimal strategy in the case of total evacuation in high-rise buildings. A model case study made of two identical twin towers linked with two sky-bridges at different heights has been simulated. The towers are 50 floor high-rise buildings including both vertical and horizontal egress components, namely stairs, occupant evacuation elevat

Spinal Cord Processing of Sensory Information: Spatial Organization and Adaptive Mechanisms.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Nervsignaler som förmedlar känsel från huden och kommandon till kroppsmuskulaturen passerar genom ryggmärgen eller dess motsvarighet i hjärnstammen. Kunskap om hur ryggmärgens nervkretsar är uppbyggda och hur de bearbetar nervsignaler är därför av fundamental betydelse för att kunna förstå och behandla exempelvis smärta och ryggmärgskador. I detta avhandlingsarbete studPrinciples for sensorimotor transformation and plasticity in the spinal cord and functional repair in the root-avulsed spinal cord were studied. A comparative study confirmed that the nociceptive withdrawal reflex (NWR) system is composed of reflex modules, with each performing a finely tuned transformation of skin sensory input to activity in one muscle. This suggests that modularity of the NWR s
