  2. 22. Knowledge Bases and the Geography of Innovation

    Författare :Roman Martin; CIRCLE; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; economic geography; regional innovation systems; learning regions; differentiated knowledge bases; knowledge networks; social network analysis; Scania; Sweden;

    Sammanfattning : Despite the ongoing globalisation of economic activities, innovation does not take place randomly distributed over space, but concentrates in certain locations. A central argument to explain the spatial concentration of innovation activities lies in the ability of geographical proximity to facilitate interactive learning and knowledge exchange, which in turn is seen as an important driver for regional growth and prosperity.

  3. 23. Free software to open hardware: Critical theory on the frontiers of hacking

    Författare :Johan Söderberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; hackers; constructivism; innovation; free software; critical theory; immanent critique; technology; lay expertise; open hardware;

    Sammanfattning : Starting from the experiences of hackers developing free software and open hardware, this thesis addresses some key and recurrent themes in the field of Science and Technology Studies (STS). It poses the question: how are technologies conceptualised, constructed and used in ways that render some aspects of them transparent, while leaving others opaque? This question is complicated by the fact that what is visible and transparent to some will remain opaque to others, depending on the level of technical expertise commanded. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : The recent emphasis on performance in standardized testing of Swedish students is visible in reports from both national and international agencies. According to the reports, there has been a steep decline in the internationally measured performance of Swedish students in school since the 1990s. LÄS MER

  5. 25. Cultivating humanity in science education : A capabilities approach to students' critical examination of public issues in science education

    Författare :Jonna Wiblom; Maria Andrée; Carl-Johan Rundgren; Erik Knain; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; science education; critical examination; public issues; Martha Nussbaum; the capabilities approach; ‘world citizenship’; narrative imagination; research ethics; participatory research; naturvetenskapsämnenas didaktik; Science Education;

    Sammanfattning : This dissertation is about science education as an education for citizenship with a particular focus on the potential of inviting students to participate in critical examination of public issues in the media. Through digital media, a vast amount of health-related information is readily available to the public. LÄS MER
