Abstract:

<p> Though eating disorders are a serious public health threat, misinformation about these potentially deadly diseases is widespread. This study examines eating disorder information from a wide variety of sources including medical journals, news reports, and popular social activist authors. Examples of misinformation were identified, and three aspects of eating disorders (prevalence, mortality, and etiology) were chosen as key indicators of scientific illiteracy about those illnesses. A case study approach was then adopted to trace examples of misinformation to their original sources whenever

Abstract:

In this sub-thesis I introduce the idea of Reality Science. Reality science involves the telling of personal stories, such as with autobiography, biography, mentoring, documentaries, profiles and public lectures. The importance of reality science in shaping positive stereotypes and perceptions of science is discussed and ways of approaching reality science is given. Reality science can be used to encourage, inspire and inform people of the various roles scientists play and the diversity of science, breaking down stereotypes and normalising science and scientists. Reality science gives us ins

Abstract:

My central concern in this thesis is how science should be understood by the public. I argue that science should be understood, and valued for, the formative aspirations of the scientific community. The formative aspirations of the scientific community are the values members try to uphold as members of the group, even when this is not always possible. These aspirations are constitutive of the scientific ‘form of life’. I argue that science and religion are distinct forms of life, and through their formative aspirations can be differentiated from one another. Drawing on the theory of Elective M

Abstract:

Communication complexity studies how many bits a certain number of parties need to communicate with each other in order to compute a function whose input is distributed among those parties. Although it is a natural area of investigation based on practical considerations, the main motivation comes from the myriad of applications in theoretical computer science.This thesis has three main parts, studying three different aspects of communication complexity.1. The first part is concerned with the k-party communication complexity of functions F:({0,1}^n)^k -> {0,1} in the 'number on the forehead' (N

Given the severe environmental problems we are facing, it is crucial to communicate environmental knowledge to society in order to facilitate a trajectory towards sustainability. Therefore, the aim of this study is to explore how departments at Swedish universities, whose research revolves around environmental topics, communicate their research. At four departments at two universities, I examine based on semi-structured interviews (I) with whom and in what ways these departments communicate their research, (II) what the motivations are to do so, and (III) if there are challenges in communicati

Abstract:

An auction is a well-known mechanism for reallocating items between buyers and sellers. An extension of the standard single-item auction is the combinatorial auction where multiple items are handled simultaneously. The focus of this thesis is to address the problem of allocating items in the setting of a combinatorial auction. We consider some of the computational work that has been done in recent years for combinatorial auctions. A fundamental problem in auction theory is how one represents the bidders and their preferences. Another issue is to address the cost of communications between bidde

This study analyzes how spatial organization impacts science communication at the St. Petersburg Science Festival in Florida. Through map analysis, qualitative interviews, and a close reading of evaluation reports, the author determines that sponsorship, logistics, exhibitor ambience, and map usability and design are the factors most affecting the spatial performance of science. To mitigate their effects, technical communicators can identify these factors and provide the necessary revisions when considering how science is communicated to the public.

This thesis examines the key characteristics and challenges of science communication in contemporary urban Thailand. I argue that one key characteristic of science communication in Thailand is the significant role of the Science-Buddhism dialogue in public accounts of science, and I examine the vital role of media in this dialogue for the Thai middle-class. By tracing the history of science communication in urban Thailand, I suggest that the Science-Buddhism dialogue has long been engaged in the Thai cultural landscape, with political meanings since the 19th century.

Abstract. Communicating scientific concepts to non-scientific audiences can be difficult. Often, scientists rely solely on the strength of empirical evidence as an appeal to reason in public scientific discourse. Unfortunately, in a world where ‘truthiness’ has become an accepted part of media messaging, public understanding and attitudes do not develop solely in response to objective reasoning. From climate change to evolution, vaccines to nuclear power, the science community finds itself on the defensive as shifting perceptions of authority and the narratives that frame scientific communicat

The developing nations of the Pacific Islands face a number of issues as they move towards economic and environmental sustainability. The application of science and scientific knowledge can be valuable in addressing these problems, and moving the region towards a more stable future. However, science can have little impact unless it is effectively communicated to relevant audiences. Science communication is a relatively new and developing discipline. It is concerned with the context in which information is delivered, and the processes by which knowledge is accepted by different groups in soc
