1. 6. Smart, Fast and Beautiful : On Rhetoric of Technology and Computing Discourse in Sweden 1955-1995

   Författare :Magnus Johansson; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :rhetoric of technology; computing history; technological discourse; technological frame; actor network; STS; social construction; computerisation; information technology; computer science; government policy; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP;

   Sammanfattning : Ever since the computer was introduced some 50 years ago, its role in society has been increasing. From being a tool for scientists and technicians, the computer has become a concern for everyone. Different actors engaged in introducing — or denouncing — this technology, have used many strong words for winning others to the cause. LÄS MER

3. 7. Methodology and Infrastructure for Statistical Computing in Genomics : Applications for Ancient DNA

   Författare :Kristiina Ausmees; Carl Nettelblad; Mattias Jakobsson; Flora Jay; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; statistical computing; genotype imputation; ancient DNA; deep learning; dimensionality reduction; genetic clustering; distributed computing; Scientific Computing; Beräkningsvetenskap;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis concerns the development and evaluation of computational methods for analysis of genetic data. A particular focus is on ancient DNA recovered from archaeological finds, the analysis of which has contributed to novel insights into human evolutionary and demographic history, while also introducing new challenges and the demand for specialized methods.

4. 8. Computational problems in evolution : Multiple alignment, genome rearrangements, and tree reconstruction

   Författare :Isaac Elias; Jens Lagergren; Lior Pachter; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Distance Methods; Tree reconstruction; Sorting by Transpositions; multiple alignment; ancestral sequences; Computer science; Datavetenskap;

   Sammanfattning : Reconstructing the evolutionary history of a set of species is a fundamental problem in biology. This thesis concerns computational problems that arise in different settings and stages of phylogenetic tree reconstruction, but also in other contexts. LÄS MER

5. 9. That's How We Role! A Framework for Role Modeling in Computing and Engineering Education : A Focus on the Who, What, How, and Why

   Författare :Virginia Grande; Mats Daniels; Anne-Kathrin Peters; Anders Berglund; Päivi Kinnunen; Alison Clear; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Role model; educator; teacher; identity; norms; ethics; virtue ethics; care ethics; ethics of freedom; emotions; professional competencies; computing education; engineering education; higher education; Datavetenskap med inriktning mot datavetenskapens didaktik; Computer Science with specialization in Computer Science Education Research;

   Sammanfattning : Role model is a term used in everyday language and literature on education, particularly on diversity, equity, inclusion, and access, describing topics such as motivation and inspiration. However, role model, as a loosely defined concept, is understood and used in different ways. LÄS MER

7. 10. Life histories across time and space : methods for including geographic factors on the micro-level in longitudinal demographic research

   Författare :Finn Hedefalk; Centrum för ekonomisk demografi; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES;

   Sammanfattning : Historical demography, which is the study of human population dynamics in the past, is central for understanding human behaviours and traits, such as fertility, mortality and migration. An important factor in demographic research is the geographic context. LÄS MER
