Abstract:

La cryptogeine est une proteine d'environ 10 kda appartenant a la famille des elicitines et secretee par le champignon phytophthora cryptogea. Les elicitines agissent sur des diverses plantes telles que le tabac, la tomate, la pomme de terre, le poivron et le radis. Elles induisent une formation de necroses foliaires dans les tissus de ces plantes ainsi qu'une resistance contre les pathogenes du radis et du tabac. Sur les plants de tabac, la cryptogeine induit une resistance contre le phytopathogene phytophthora nicotianae, agent de la maladie du pied noir. Les structures secondaires de la cry

Abstract:

Many software development projects fail because they do not meet the needs of users, are over-budget, and abandoned. To address this problem, the user requirements elicitation process was modified based on principles of Appreciative Inquiry. Appreciative Inquiry, commonly used in organizational development, aims to build organizations, processes, or systems based on success stories using a hopeful vision for an ideal future. Spanning five studies, Appreciative Inquiry was evaluated for its effectiveness with eliciting user requirements. In the first two cases, it was compared with traditional

Abstract:

The amount of information involved in many decision making situations has increased dramatically in recent years and support of some kind is often needed. Consequently, fields like Business Intelligence (BI) and Decision Support Systems (DSS) have advanced. Decision analysis applications belong to the latter category and aim to support decision making activities in businesses and organizations, and provide more clearly structured decision material to use as a basis for decisions. In spite of a belief in their potential, their employment is still limited in practice, which could partly be attri

Abstract:

In the modern world, making informed decisions requires obtaining and aggregating relevant information about events of interest. For many political, business, and entertainment events, the information of interest only exists as opinions, beliefs, and judgments of dispersed individuals, and we can only get a complete picture by putting the separate pieces of information together. Thus, an important first step towards decision making is motivating the individuals to reveal their private information and coalescing the separate pieces of information together.

A review of the literature revealed the lack of employee engagement amongst call centre representatives (CCRs) to be a central concern in this fast-emerging global industry.

Abstract:

The focus of the present research is on children's commonsense reasoning in mechanics. The important effect of pre-instructional ideas on children's learning is now widely recognised and much effort has gone into investigating what these ideas are like in various domain areas in science in the past few years. Early researches in this area have provided us with a comprehensive catalog of phenomenological descriptions of various aspects of children's reasoning about forces and motion. A related line of research has grown over recent years, which attempts to probe into whether there are deeper ex

Abstract:

Model eliciting activities are assignments which require students to develop models to describe realistic situations. Every MEA follows six principles: model-construction, reality, self-assessment, model documentation, generalizability, and effective prototype. The six principles provide a solid guideline in which instructors can develop more MEAs, which can then be shared and used among several participating universities.

Abstract:

The topic of this thesis is users' models: the representations users may form of the computer system which they are interacting with. It has been proposed that user interfaces which support the construction of appropriate users' models facilitate learning and use of computer systems. Users' models have been a topic of research in human-computer interaction (HCI) since 1984, but to date, no knowledge exists which could be applied by designers of computer systems. The aim of the thesis is to address this problem and contribute to the development of an integrated and applicable body of knowledge

Preschool-aged children (n = 116) completed a frustration task.

Our main aim in this thesis is to obtain an elicitation method for quantifying uncertainty about a population distribution with uncertain mean and variance. An example of where this methodology could be used is in risk analysis, where experts are uncertain about values of input parameters in a mechanistic model and with little or no data available. In addition, it could be used to obtain a prior distribution in Bayesian inference. In this thesis, we first search the literature of elicitation, since the review of O'Hagan et al.

Abstract:

Decision Support systems have been gaining in importance recently. Yet one of the bottlenecks of designing such systems lies in understanding how the user values different decision outcomes, or more simply what the user preferences are. Preference elicitation promises to remove the guess work of designing decision making agents by providing more formal methods for measuring the `goodness' of outcomes. This thesis aims to address some of the challenges of preference elicitation such as the high dimensionality of the underlying problem. The problem is formulated as a partially observable Markov

Abstract:

Some literature creates fictional worlds similar to the one we live in and others create worlds that are very different from ours. By inviting us to identify with characters, literature raises empathy. William Golding’s novel Lord of the Flies is viewed by many as an emotional novel that can make its reader feel fear, confusion, empathy and anger, which makes it a useful tool to use when teaching about empathy. Developing empathy is an important process and while we cannot teach empathywe can evoke empathy using literature. According to the Swedish curriculum, students should be able to empat
