Full textDuring leaf senescence nutrients are mobilized towards newly developing vegetative and reproductive structures. The IAOx pathway that produces auxin and defense molecules [indole glucosinolates (IGs) and camalexin] is up-regulated during senescence. To investigate the role of the IAOx metabolites we isolated two independent cyp79B2/cyp79B3 double mutants, which are deficient in IGs and camalexin and had reduced auxin levels. Chlorophyll, protein, and gene expression data indicate that cyp79B2/cyp79B3 mutants display early leaf senescence. Furthermore, leaves accumulated higher levels of hydrogen peroxide and seed production was significantly reduced. Auxin signaling at hydathodes and vascular tissue decreased as leaves aged, even though endogenous auxin levels increased. Since CYP79B2/CYP79B3 play only a minor role in auxin synthesis, it is most likely that IGs and/or camalexin are playing a protective role during age-induced developmental leaf senescence. Identifying molecules that slow down the rate of senescence may allow for genetic manipulation to increase nutritional value and crop yield

Full textDo preschoolers need mental concepts in order to reason and predict behavior, or do they construe meaning within interactions and do not need to build formal theories of mind - ToM? In study 1, the Rasch analysis of 141 children's performances on the Italian version of the ToM Scale (Wellman, Liu, 2004) shows a progression of understanding from desire, to belief to emotion. Results are discussed in terms of children's increasing experience at dealing with different perspectives that interacts with conceptual development. In study 2, the observation of 72 preschoolers' dyadic play interactions (coded with an exhaustive scheme developed ad-hoc) shows progress in children's collaborative construction of meaning, partially independent from abilities measured by the ToM Scale, and finds calmness as a correlate of ToM success. In study 3, the interview of 36 mothers reveals that maternal mindfulness is related to children's calmness and that maternal mind- and psychological mindedness are associated with children's facility at reasoning about the mental world. The theoretical review and empirical evidence collected lead to recognizing the role played by interpersonal and interactive experiences in framing mental reasoning, and suggest that future research measure social understanding in more participative, subjective situations than current formal assessment.

Full textDetta arbete undersöker hur syskon samspelar och skapar mening och social ordning inom ramen för olika mediepraktiker. Med hjälp av medieetnografiska metoder har 14 barn i åldrarna fyra till nio år (tio olika syskonkonstellationer) följts i hemmiljö under en halvårsperiod. Materialet består främst av videoinspelad interaktion. Avhandlingen bygger på sociokulturella och kultursociologiska perspektiv, där individen ses som en aktiv, meningsskapande och samspelande aktör som påverkar och påverkas av sin sociala och kulturella kontext. Analysen är i huvudsak relaterad till de handlingar som äger rum i lokalt situerade aktiviteter och undersöker vad syskonen gör med medier i olika verksamheter, men visar även hur samhällelig kontext och barns aktörskap är parallella aspekter i barns liv. Avhandlingen synliggör hur medier utgör en stor och viktig del av barns vardagskultur. Medier är självklara referensramar och skapar gemensamma plattformar för barnens samtal och lekar. Syskonen använder medier och olika artefakter för att förhandla, utmana eller fördela positioner. Småsyskonen tar sig successivt in i de äldre syskonens medielandskap, medan de äldre ofta blir ledstjärnor eller ger sig själva tolkningsföreträde. Vidare visas hur kunskapsförmedling är ett väsentligt inslag mellan syskon. Utöver rent praktiska färdigheter i hur de tekniska apparaterna ska hanteras, förhandlas även smak, normer, värderingar och tillgång till symboliskt kapital. Spel, musik, TV, YouTube och medieartefakter används som resurser för självpresentation. Analyserna pekar på barnens aktörskap; barnen tolkar, omtolkar, utmanar och förhandlar innebörder och föreställningar om vad som är kultur för barn. Avhandlingen belyser även hur konsumtion intimt hänger samman med mediepraktiker. Mobiler, spelkonsoler och medlemskap på virtuella spelsidor blir åtråvärda artefakter och statusmarkörer i barnens medievärldar.

Full textAccording to social studies, everyday life has reduced children’s opportunities for free-play, which, in the long term, can compromise their social and physical development. Previous HCI studies have been addressing the question of how to apply sensing and reactive technologies to encourage free-play by, for example, augmenting playgrounds and shared objects with these technologies. This dissertation explores the design process and evaluation of wearable digital accessories to encourage and facilitate free-play amongst school-aged children in alternative free-play settings. This is done in order to take advantage of free-play opportunities that arise on the move and to encourage body challenges and social experiences through individual exploration. In this context, the thesis discusses (a) three design cases of playful accessories, (b) a quantitative and qualitative evaluation to assess the ability of the accessories to encourage free-play, (c) the design process of playful experiences with the participation of children and older people (60+). This thesis also provides a set of design opportunities that can be taken into account in the research of future digitally-augmented objects to encourage free-play.

Full textVärmeutvecklingen som uppstår på grund av hydratationen av cement är viktig att beakta vid gjutning av massiva betongkonstruktioner. Detta brukar göras genom simuleringar av värmeutvecklingen och hållfasthetstillväxten med hjälp av olika finita element (FE) program. I detta projekt har programmet ConTeSt använts för att på förhand kunna förutse temperatur - och töjningsutvecklingen i en massiv betongvägg. I och med detta kan bl.a. gjutningen planeras bättre samtidigt som ekonomiska besparingar kan åstadkommas om eventuella risker kan kartläggas innan gjutningen påbörjas. En ledmur bakom ett av utskoven i Storfinnforsens kraftverk undersöktes närmare i samband med en ombyggnad. Möjligheten uppstod att planera en mätning av gjutningen av ledmuren samt att utföra simuleringar av väggen i ConTeSt. En känslighetsanalys utfördes för att undersöka effekterna på temperatur- och töjningsutvecklingen genom att variera cementhalten, omgivningstemperaturen, vindhastigheten och graden av tvång i förskjutningen i längdriktningen av väggen. Resultaten visade att högre cementhalter ökade graden av hydratation vilket ökade temperaturen i betongen. Högre vindhastigheter bidrog till snabbare kylning av betongen vilket i vissa fall lett till sprickor på grund av kontraktion av materialet. Sprickor till följd av kontraktion uppstod även då omgivningstemperaturen sänktes. Omgivningstemperaturen hade ingen större påverkan på hydratationen, utan istället var det temperaturen av den färska betongmassan som visade större påverkan. Högre temperatur av den färska betongmassan ökade graden av hydratation vilket ökade temperaturen i betongen. Graden av tvång kunde i ConTeSt endast varieras i förskjutningen i längdriktningen av väggen vilket inte hade någon större effekt på töjningsutvecklingen. En sprickrisk analys utfördes där den utvecklade dragspänningen jämfördes med draghållfastheten. Analysen utfördes genom att variera samma faktorer som varierades i känslighetsanalysen. Resultaten visade att draghållfastheten överskreds i de flesta fall och att därmed sprickrisken var hög. För att genomföra mätningen blev slutsatsen att det behövs 7 st töjningsgivare av modell KM-100B från TML Tokyo Sokki Kenkyujo, 2 st data logger av typ Spider8 från HBM samt minst en 25 m ø9 mm skärmad 5-kärnkabel, inklusive en dator med programvaran Catman Easy.
