1. How reproductive is a reproduction? : Digital transmission of text-based documents
Sammanfattning : Heritage institutions today increasingly rely on digital formats for access, use and re-useof their collections. Books and other text-based documents, previously accessed on locationin libraries are now transferred into digital format and managed, distributed, andengaged as binary encoded representations.

2. Sacred Games - Becoming Gods : Priming digital game ethics
Sammanfattning : The point of departure for my research is a perceived breach and resulting dissonance between how digital games and other parts of society that are similar in form, enact certain aspects of life.

3. A Utopian Quest for Universal Knowledge : Diachronic Histories of Botanical Collections between the Sixteenth Century and the Present
Sammanfattning : This thesis explores the history of botany as a global collection-based science by tracing parallels between utopian traditions and botanical collecting, from their sixteenth-century beginnings to the present. A range of botanical collections, such as gardens, herbaria and classification systems, have played a central role in the struggle to discover a global or universal scientific order for the chaotic, diverse and locally shaped kingdom of plants.

4. Tacit : A research journey into the methods, processes and knowledge of graphic designers
Sammanfattning : By exploring the potential effects of digitisation on graphic design methods, this thesis aims to highlight some of the tacit knowledge possessed by graphic designers and to show that this knowledge can both be externalised and made communicable. Beginning with an interview study where professional designers’ views were gathered and analysed, the work continued through a participatory study where designers’ knowledge was highlighted in a documented design project.

5. Acquisition and control in basic and applied physics : methods and means in some instrument development projects
Sammanfattning : Advanced instrumentation for experimental physics, be it basic or applied, involves to an increasing degree, the use of complex analogue and digital electronic components. This is especially true for nuclear and particle physics where massive data acquisition systems are being developed. LÄS MER
