Toward ontologies and services for assisting industrial robot setup and instruction

Achieving rapid, intuitive, and error-free robot setup and instruction is a challenge. We present our work towards an assistive infrastructure for robot setup and instruction that attempts to address it. In this paper, we describe the ongoing development of a system that automatically generates multimodal dialogue interaction from product and process ontologies. The prototype currently generates t

The Time Machine – an Inclusive Tourist Guide Application Supporting Exploration

In the present paper we describe an inclusive tourist application, The Time Machine, that allows users to explore an environment or be guided along a trail while experiencing virtual sounds and get information (visual and auditory) at key locations in the environment. We report the application design and preliminary results from evaluations in a city environment. Results indicate that the Time Mac

Maskulinitet i feminismens tjänst : Dragkingande som praktik, politik och begär

Masculinity in the service of feminism. Drag kinging as practice, politics, and desire. The aim of the thesis is to explore drag kinging as lived experience at the crossroads of masculinity, the body, and feminist politics. Drag kinging is defined as a conscious performance of masculinity. Theoretically, the study takes a feminist and queer phenomenological perspective as a point of departure. In

Catalytic combustion in environmental protection and energy production

Catalytic combustion is an important area of catalysis and is used in energy production as well as in the abatement of harmful emissions of various types. This thesis is focused on three different areas of catalytic combustion: - Catalytic combustion of diesel soot - Development of catalytically active wire meshes through thermal spraying - Stabilisation and activation of g-alumina for methane com

Experiencing the University Context

Our problem is how to design, with the use of distance and ICT, an appropriate academic context for learning, for students with no previous knowledge of this context. Our aim is to analyse and describe the learner’s relation to the object of his/her studies as part of his/her relation to the learning activity. By using a combination of a phenomenographic approach and activity system theory, we ana

Reacting Boundary Layers in Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) Engine

An experimental and computational study of the nearwall combustion in a Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI) engine has been conducted by applying laser based diagnostic techniques in combination with numerical modeling. Our major intent was to characterize the combustion in the velocity- and thermal boundary layers. The progress of the combustion was studied by using fuel tracer LIF, th

Psykodynamisk korttidsterapi : En intensivstudie av samspel, förändring och utfall

Popular Abstract in Swedish Psykoterapi betraktas idag som en etablerad behandlingsform för människor med psykiska problem. Under senare hälften av 1900-talet växte intresset för alternativa behandlingsformer inom vårdsektorn, och en ansenlig mängd psykoterapeutiska metoder utvecklades. Under denna period tog även psykoterapiforskningen fart, med syfte att undersöka vilken betydelse olika behandliThe overall aim of the thesis was to investigate the effects of psychodynamically oriented psychotherapy and gain an increased understanding of the curative factors in psychotherapy by thorough examination of the therapeutic alliance and of client change. The core of the thesis is a naturalistic study of 22 short-term dynamic psychotherapies and a follow-up 6-12 months later. Individual outcome me
