Abstract:

Cette thèse prend place au sein d'une agence digitale qui met en œuvre des méthodes de design qui permettent d'impliquer ses client.e.s dans la conception. Ce terrain me permet d'observer des situations de co-conception qui rassemblent une agence et une organisation cliente, situations peu étudiées dans la littérature. Notre immersion et notre engagement en tant que designeure nous a permis de faire l'expérience des temporalités du travail en agence et de revenir en particulier sur ce que le vocabulaire et les méthodes dites de “sprint” supposent de rapport au temps dans la conception.

Cette thèse porte sur les spécificités du secteur public et leurs impacts sur les incitations et la performance. Elle mobilise les outils microéconomiques de la théorie des contrats et l’analyse économétrique. Parmi ces caractéristiques, une attention particulière est portée sur les problématiques de surveillance, de gestion de l’information et de contraintes budgétaires. Le premier chapitre de cette thèse contribue au débat sur la transparence dans le secteur public en considérant l’une de ses caractéristiques majeure : un budget limité.

This augmentation takes the form of bottom up micro-movements and daily gestures contributing to opportunities for greater agency in the increasingly fraught InfoSec domain.

Abstract:

In the field of digital media, the study of interactive narratives holds the aesthetics of agency and dramatic agency as core to digital design. These principles hold that users must reliably be able to navigate the interface and the narrative elements of the artifact in order to have a lasting appeal. However, due to recent academic and critical discussions several digital artifacts are being focused on as possible new ways of engaging users. These artifacts do not adhere to the design aesthetics foundational to digital media, but represent a movement away from the principle of dramatic agenc

Though the topic of learner agency has received relatively little discussion in the literature of educational technology, it is nevertheless a significant and actually omnipresent concern of both scholars and practitioners. Through the journal-ready articles contained herein, I show how theories of learning and certain practices of instructional designers reflect implicit positions on the agency of learners. I also discuss agency in more concrete terms as the responsibility for learning that is shared with learners in instructional design contexts. In addition, I provide practical suggestions

South African democracy is perceived and evidenced to be under duress.

The literature is reviewed to map how designed objects, processes, and philosophy enable and hamper notions of democracy. Within this literature, two concepts are identified as key to a South African context, and require further research - Indigenous Knowledge Systems (IKS) and cosmopolitanism. The African concept of Ubuntu, a subset of IKS, is argued to function as an authentic context, howeve

The present thesis deals with the playful exploration of fermentation as a practice of care. Fermentation has a lot of positive impacts and can be seen as a practice of care in relation to human self-care, caring with human others, relationships to non-human beings, like microorganisms, and caring with the planet Earth. Based on the question ‘What can game design do to explore fermentation as a practice beyond human (self-) care?’ I developed an Online Fermentation Game.

On the other hand, developing non-peptide small molecule drugs targeting GLP-1R remains elusive likely due to the large nature of the orthosteric binding site on GLP-1R. A promising ap

After decades of exorbitant antibiotic misuse and overuse in human medicine, agriculture and livestock industry, multidrug resistant bacteria (MDR) have become a major medical concern.

Polymyxins are antimicrobial lipopeptides, highly active and selective against Gram- negative bacteria which were discovered in 1947, but their use was abandoned in the 1970s due to nephro- and neurotoxicity issues.

A number of studies have investigated the relationship between the user and product in relation to agents (e.g. DeAngeli, Lynch & Johnson, 2002).

Abstract:

Thesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Economics, 2012.<br>Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.<br>Includes bibliographical references.<br>This dissertation ties together three papers on mechanism design with boundedly rational agents. These papers explore theoretically whether, and to what extent, limitations on agents' ability to strategically misrepresent their preferences can help a mechanism designer achieve outcomes that she could not achieve with perfectly rational agents. The first chapter investigates whether local incentive constraints are sufficient to log

Abstract:

Thesis (MSc (Chemistry and Polymer Science))--University of Stellenbosch, 2005.<br>This thesis begins with the description of the preparation of thirteen dithioesters (of the form Z- (C=S)-S-R) which were characterized via Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) and ultraviolet spectroscopy (UV). The dithioesters were then used as reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) mediating agents in the bulk polymerization of styrene, in order to observe differences in the kinetic behaviour of the polymerizations and, as a resul
