Det är fel att göra rörlighet till en merit i sig. Forskarmeriter ska mätas i form av forskningspublikationer och rekryteringen utgå från dessa. Akademin behöver också bli en human, modern och jämställd arbetsplats och då behöver vi synliggöra kulturen och vilja arbeta för att förändra densamma. Förslaget om att premiera forskares rörlighet riskerar att verka i direkt motsatt riktning, skriver for

A large part of the Earth’s turnover of resources is associated with buildings and building construction. There is therefore a complex relationship to be taken into consideration when realizing construction projects, since economic and social aspects also affect individual people. In order to gain an overall perspective on this relationship during the construction process, one solution is to adapt

Hakkarainen and Sintonen (2002) praise the descriptive adequacy of Hintikka's Interrogative Model of Inquiry (imi) to describe children's prac- tices in an inquiry-based learning context. They further propose to use the imi as a starting point for developing new pedagogical methods and designing new didactic tools. We assess this proposal in the light of the formal results that in the imi characte

This paper is concerned with two approaches to designing spaces for knowledge work. The central concern of the first approach is with the use of fictional descriptions of the workplace, in order to stimulate creative thought about new workspaces. The second approach draws on the emerging potential of three dimensional virtual reality as a tool to develop shared visions and to stimulate creativity.

How are longings for intimacy engendered in different ways in relation to technology use? How can alternative uses of consumer electronics make us more aware about the conditions for mediation and technology use? The presentation will reflect on a specific consumer electronics product called the Intenso Viddy, which is a cheap video messenger marketed as a lifestyle/mobility-gadget. With it’s inco

In many areas, the ability to create accurate 3D models is of great interest, for example, in computer vision, robotics, architecture, and augmented reality. In this paper we show how a textured indoor environment can be reconstructed in 3D using an RGB-D camera. Real-time performance can be achieved using a GPU. We show how the camera pose can be estimated directly using the geometry that we repr

Good roofing materials are both difficult to find and expensive in developing countries. Roofing tiles using cement as the binding agent have been produced in Europe for over 150 years, and have partially replaced burnt ceramic tiles for purely economic reasons. Although modern factories can produce 10,000 tiles per person per day with a few workers, small-scale hand production still offers both g
