Would Granny Let an Assistive Robot Into Her home

Assistive robots have received considerable research attention due to the increase of the senior population around the world and the shortage of care-givers. However, limited attention has been paid to involving seniors in the de-sign process in order to elicit their attitudes and perceptions of having their own robot. This study addresses this issue. We conducted a workshop with 14 Swe-dish senio

Reception of multimodality: Applying eye tracking methodology in multimodal research

The chapter presents a new perspective that concerns reception of multimodality and emphasizes how multimodal messages are perceived by the users. This perspective is described in relation to three main production-oriented perspectives: social semiotic multimodal analysis, a systemic functional approach and multimodal interactional analysis. It is argued that eye tracking measurements, in combinat

Microorganisms in the Indoor Environment Analysis and Structure-Bioactivity Relationships

Popular Abstract in Swedish Otillfredsställande inandningsluft på bl a arbetsplatser har satts i samband med utveckling av olika akuta och kroniska symptom såsom allergi, astma och kronisk bronkit. Vi vet att bakterier och svamp producerar ett stort antal ämnen som verkar irriterande eller är allergiframkallande. Misstankar har därför riktas mot olika mikrobiologiska ämnen i luften såsom endotoxinInhalation of air-borne microorganisms and components thereof can cause illnesses and diseases. However, lack of specific and sensitive methods for exposure assessment can pose problems in predicting health outcomes. Characterization of microbial load from indoor environments using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and/or tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MSMS) as well as various bioassays (

Public administration developments in post-Soviet Central Asia

In the West, everybody is now talking about the economic and financial crisis. The term ‘’crisis” has become a buzzword within both academic and policy communities. There is an enormous upsurge of scholarly interest in the effects of this crisis on public administration systems, and the role that public administration plays in these processes. The underlying belief is that the public administratio

Equilibrium and Nonequilibrium Properties of Nonionic Surfactant Membranes

An extensive investigation of the multilamellar vesicles (La*), lamellar (La), and multiply connected sponge (L3) phase formed in surfactant systems is presented in this thesis. These membrane structures were studied using surfactant systems containing poly(oxyethylene) alkyl ethers, n-CnH2n+1(OCH2CH2) mOH, commonly abbreviated as CnEm. This class of nonionic surfactants, often viewed as short AB
