1. Making Sense of Negative Numbers
Sammanfattning : Numbers are abstract objects that we conceptualize and make sense of through metaphors. When negative numbers appear in school mathematics, some properties of number sense related to natural numbers become contradictory. The metaphors seem to break down, making a transition from intuitive to formal mathematics necessary. LÄS MER
2. Att skapa mening i en komplex praktik : Föreställningar om brottspreventiva samverkansformer mellan omsorg och kontroll
Sammanfattning : This thesis deals with individual-oriented crime prevention interaction (ICPI) aimed at young people who commit - or are deemed to be at risk of committing - offences. Youth crime prevention is always topical, and a great deal of attention has been paid to such initiatives in recent years. LÄS MER
3. Sensing and Making Sense : Designing Middleware for Context Aware Computing
Sammanfattning : Computing devices are becoming wireless, smaller and embedded into other artifacts. Some of them are mobile while others are built into the environment. The novel technologies are also becoming more dependent of communication with other computing devices over different kinds of networks. LÄS MER
4. Making Sense of Antisense
Sammanfattning : RNA is a highly versatile molecule with functions that span from being a messenger in the transfer from DNA to protein, a catalytic molecule important for key processes in the cell to a regulator of gene expression. The post-genomic era and the use of new techniques to sequence RNAs have dramatically increased the number of regulatory RNAs during the last decade. LÄS MER
5. Mathematical Learning Disability : Cognitive Conditions, Development and Predictions
Sammanfattning : The purpose of the present thesis was to test and contrast hypotheses about the cognitive conditions that support the development of mathematical learning disability (MLD). Following hypotheses were tested in the thesis: a) domain general deficit, the deficit is primarily located in the domain general systems such as the working memory, b) number sense deficit, the deficit is located in the innate approximate number system (ANS), c) numerosity coding deficit, the deficit is located to a exact number representation system, d) access deficit, the deficit is in the mapping between symbols and the innate number representational system (e.
