Abstract:

In this thesis, we defend the view of works-as-interaction by developing three independent arguments: the anti-textualist, the actionalist and the ecological arguments. The anti-textualist argument has two parts. First, the uniform category of text does not cover the diversity of types of literary works, as it is shown by oral works, multiple-texts works, visual literary works and numerical literary works. Second, we reject the idea that the text is sufficient to give the identity conditions of the literary work. The latter argument forces us to include the history of production and, in

Mon travail propose l'histoire épistémologique du concept d'interaction, que j'ai appelée son "hidden epistemological exaptation", à partir des domaines de la physique (complementarity principle) et de la psychologie (Gestalttheorie) en arrivant à la biologie contemporaine. Ma thèse est que, de ce point de vue, l'interaction est un processus doté d'une polarité. Il a un coté positif, du point de vue de l'action coordonnée entre deux dynamiques ou processus, mais, d'autre part, il a un coté négatif, en tant qu’inter-férence (littéralement: inter-fero en Latin, amener) qui résulte de la co-const

Abstract:

This analysis examines the theme of divine activity as found in the literature of religion and science over the past quarter century. After a brief historical chapter, reflections on divine action from authors in the philosophy of religion are considered. In chapters 2 and 3, concepts such as intervention, deism, master act and subacts, primary and secondary causation, double agency and the causal joint are outlined. Following this, chapters 4 and 5 concentrate on the work of Whitehead. The amount of space devoted to the treatment of process thought in this investigation reflects the attention

Abstract:

This project is driven by omissions at the intersection of ecological game studies and media-ecology. Although authors have studied videogames from a variety of ecological approaches, few have attempted to develop a holistic methodology, embracing videogames' specific attributes while recognising their role within larger physical systems. This thesis is an attempt to address this, reading videogames as simultaneously about and functioning as ecologies. My methodology draws on the agential-realist philosophy of Karen Barad whose theory of 'intra-activity' is abundant with ecological ramificatio

Intervention programs providing support for father parenting skills need a practical but psychometrically strong observational measure of fathers’ early positive parenting interactions with children.

Discussion surrounding the development of artificial intelligence (AI), and its moral and social impacts, is one of the most important conversations of our time.

This dissertation, however, focuses upon the use of AI technology in the form of sex robots (‘sexbots’).

These figures, two Muslim and one Hindu, were each prominent representatives of religious thought as it occurred in one of the three pan-imperial languages of the Mughal Empire: Arabic, Sanskrit, and Persian. In this study, I re-trace the trans-regional scholarly networks in which each of the figures participated, and then examine the various ways in which their

History is a complex subject. It is more propositional than procedural in nature (Nichol, 1984), and involves adductive thinking (Booth, 1983), where historical evidence and facts are 'teased out' and a convincing account of the past is then reconstructed through speculation, imagination and empathy (Nichol, 1984; Booth, 1983). The teaching and learning of history should not just be the transmission of knowledge, but rather it should involve a process whereby students and teachers interact in order to analyze evidence, raise questions and hypotheses, synthesize facts, and communicate their ide

The development of autonomous social robots is still in its infancy, but there is no reason tothink that it will not continue. In fact, the robotics industry is growing rapidly.

In this thesis I argue that it is unlikely that we will ever be able to be friends with robots.

Through a qualitative, inductive content analysis of 171 HCI research articles, a number of themes are identified in the literature and, it is argued, construct a dominant perspective of materiality, the self, and interaction.

Firstly, the effect of pectin on acid milk gels in concentrated, quiescent systems was investigated by passive microrheology using two complementary techniques: diffusive wave spectroscopy (DWS) and multiple particle tracking (MPT).

The addition of high methoxyl pectins was shown to change the network structure which has been explained by bridging of the casein micelles by the polymer as the system was undergoing acidification.

This thesis consists of the production of an inter-active computer-based artwork, an analysis of its research outcomes, and an exploration of the theoretical issues that influenced the artistic practice. The artwork, Postcard from Tunis, is an Integrationist exploration of writing and its transformation at the human-computer interface. It is set in a personal portrait of Tunis, a city with a rich history of writing. The thesis starts with the theory of writing. The conventional view of real writing as representation of speech is shown to have serious limitations.Postcard from Tunis offers user

Abstract:

This thesis presents VERTIPH, a visual programming language for the development of image processing algorithms on FPGA hardware. The research began with an examination of the whole design cycle, with a view to identifying requirements for implementing image processing on FPGAs. Based on this analysis, a design process was developed where a selected software algorithm is matched to a hardware architecture tailor made for its implementation. The algorithm and architecture are then transformed into an FPGA suitable design. It was found that in most cases the most efficient mapping for image proce

This module is informationally encapsulated from segmental features. (2) Phonological generalizations over underlying representations can be captured in the lexicon. The claim in (1) suggests a departure from

Abstract:

Abstract This thesis concentrates on investigating the social construction of learning and teaching in a classroom that was encultured into working and acting as a community of inquiry across the curriculum. The theoretical and methodological premises of the study draw on sociocultural and sociolinguistic views on learning and instruction. Through this framework, the study aims at investigating the development, implementation and evaluation of the processes and conditions for communal inquiry across different pedagogical situations and across the curriculum in the case study classroom.

Abstract:

Syftet med studien är att presentera ett designkoncept för publika diskussioner på nätet med målet att uppnå djupare diskussioner och minska mängden information overload. Arbetet använder metoden Concept Driven Interaction Design (CDID) som går ut på att skapa ett designkoncept utifrån flera olika teorier som appliceras genom interaktionsdesign. Ett designkoncept innehåller tre delar: ett namn, ett syfte och huvudprinciper. CDID innehåller sju steg som arbetet är utformat efter: 1.

De quoi la révolution numérique est-elle la révolution ? Le premier niveau d'analyse s'inscrit sur le plan de l'histoire.

Abstract:

Há, entre educação e música, uma relação profunda que ultrapassa o ensino da arte. Partindo de uma perspectiva fenomenológica da interpretação e da escuta, encontramos na música estruturas míticas que permitem sustentá-la como chave metafórica para uma compreensão da atividade educacional, mediante a centralidade do ENCONTRO para ambas. A música compartilha com as outras formas de arte a capacidade mobilizadora do imaginário. Sua função simbólica retira-lhe do mundo da linguagem convencional e denotativa; sua manifestação está continuamente prenhe de sentido, desenrolando a expressão de maneir
