Abstract:
The interest in complex systems has increased exponentially during the past years because it was found helpful in addressing many of today's challenges. The study of the brain, biology, earthquakes, markets and social sciences are only a few examples of the fields that have benefited from the investigation of complex systems. Internet, the increased mobility of people and the raising energy demand are among the factors that brought in contact complex systems that were isolated till a few years ago. A theory for the interaction between complex systems is becoming more and more urgent to help mankind in this transition. The present work builds upon the most recent results in this field by solving a theoretical problem that prevented previous work to be applied to important complex systems, like the brain. It also shows preliminary laboratory results of perturbation of in vitro neural networks that were done to test the theory. Finally, it gives a preview of the studies that are being done to create a theory that is even closer to the interaction between real complex systems.

Abstract:
This thesis purports to critically analyze Wallerstien’s world-systems theory, to test its strengths and weaknesses and establish its reliability as a world politics theory, thereby reviving Marxism in general. The study employs a qualitative research method to go deep into the underlying logic of the theory.In an endeavor to tackle the matter at hand, five criteria of analysis are employed to examine the merits and demerits in specific areas of the theory. This involves looking at the structure of the theory, the period of the emergence of capitalism, the unit of analysis, the coherence of the arguments and processes of the theory and the reliability of the world-systems theory in contemporary world politics. The main conclusion of the study is that the world-systems theory is reliable when used to explain three themes in world politics. These are global inequality, dependency and sovereignty.

Pfohl, Katie A. "American Painting and the Systems of World Ornament." Thesis, Harvard University, 2014. http://dissertations.umi.com/gsas.harvard:11537.

Full text
Abstract:
This dissertation examines the work of nineteenth-century American painters Frederic Edwin Church, William Michael Harnett and Albert Pinkham Ryder, and focuses on the relationship between their work in painting and their work in the decorative arts. Through their decorative work, all three artists explored "systems of world ornament" that introduced them to an international range of ornamental form by compiling, cataloguing, and comparing ornament from nearly all cultures and eras. Combining all of world culture single folios, these "systems of world ornament" promised to help American artists and designers study and sort a wide range of cultural influences into temporal and geographic order and thus make sense of the increasingly internationalized nature of American material culture. As this dissertation argues, the study of these "systems of world ornament" became for American artists and designers a powerful--if problematic--tool for distilling the increasingly international nature of American art and culture into a material form--and a formal painterly language--that opened it up to comment and critique. Ornament has to a large extent been understood as a mode of retreat rather than engagement with the clean lines and streamlined aesthetic of the twentieth-century, a crust that had to be cleared from painting's surface so that it might embrace the revolutionary potential of the technological and artistic innovations of the twentieth-century, but this dissertation argues the opposite--that ornament crucially informed American painters' attempts to update painting in response to the artistic challenges of increasingly internationalized twentieth-century life.

Abstract:
Les systèmes de recommandation se sont révélés être des outils efficaces pour aider les utilisateurs à faire face à la surcharge informationnelle. D’importants progrès ont été réalisés dans le domaine durant les deux dernières décennies, menant en particulier à l’exploitation de l’information contextuelle pour modéliser l’aspect dynamique des utilisateurs et des articles. La définition traditionnelle du contexte, adoptée dans la plupart des systèmes de recommandation contextuels, ne répond pas à plusieurs contraintes rencontrées dans les applications du monde réel. Dans cette thèse, nous abordons les problèmes de recommandation en présence d’informations contextuelles partiellement observables et d’informations contextuelles non observables dans deux applications particulières, la recommandation d’hôtels et la recommandation en ligne, remettant en question plusieurs aspects de la définition traditionnelle du contexte, notamment l'accessibilité, la pertinence, l'acquisition et la modélisation.La première partie de la thèse étudie le problème de recommandation d’hôtels qui souffre du démarrage à froid continu, limitant la performance des approches classiques de recommandation. Le voyage n’est pas une activité fréquente et les utilisateurs ont tendance à adopter des comportements diversifiés en fonction de leurs situations spécifiques. Après une analyse du comportement des utilisateurs dans ce domaine, nous proposons de nouvelles approches de recommandation intégrant des informations contextuelles partiellement observables affectant les utilisateurs. Nous montrons comment cela contribue à améliorer la qualité des recommandations.La deuxième partie de la thèse aborde le problème de recommandation en ligne en présence de flux de données où les observations apparaissent continûment à haute fréquence. Nous considérons que les utilisateurs et les articles reposent sur des informations contextuelles non observables par le système et évoluent de façons différentes à des rythmes différents. Nous proposons alors d’effectuer de la détection active de changements et d’assurer la mise à jour des modèles en temps réel. Nous concevons de nouvelles méthodes qui s’adaptent aux changements qui apparaissent au niveau des préférences des utilisateurs et des perceptions et descriptions des articles, et montrons l’importance de la recommandation adaptative en ligne pour garantir de bonnes performances au cours du temps
Recommender systems have proven to be valuable tools to help users overcome the information overload, and significant advances have been made in the field over the last two decades. In particular, contextual information has been leveraged to model the dynamics occurring within users and items. Context is a complex notion and its traditional definition, which is adopted in most recommender systems, fails to cope with several issues occurring in real-world applications. In this thesis, we address the problems of partially observable and unobservable contexts in two particular applications, hotel recommendation and online recommendation, challenging several aspects of the traditional definition of context, including accessibility, relevance, acquisition, and modeling.The first part of the thesis investigates the problem of hotel recommendation which suffers from the continuous cold-start issue, limiting the performance of classical approaches for recommendation. Traveling is not a frequent activity and users tend to have multifaceted behaviors depending on their specific situation. Following an analysis of the user behavior in this domain, we propose novel recommendation approaches integrating partially observable context affecting users and we show how it contributes in improving the recommendation quality.The second part of the thesis addresses the problem of online adaptive recommendation in streaming environments where data is continuously generated. Users and items may depend on some unobservable context and can evolve in different ways and at different rates. We propose to perform online recommendation by actively detecting drifts and updating models accordingly in real-time. We design novel methods adapting to changes occurring in user preferences, item perceptions, and item descriptions, and show the importance of online adaptive recommendation to ensure a good performance over time

Abstract:
One of the primary goals of systems biology is to understand the complex underlying network of biochemical interactions which allow an organism to respond to environmental stimuli. Models of these biological interactions serve as a tool to both codify current understanding of these interactions as well as a starting point for scientific discovery. Due to the massive amount of information which is required for this modeling process, systems biology studies must often attempt to construct models which reflect the whole of the system while having access to only partial information. In some cases, the missing information will not have a confounding effect on the accuracy of the model. In other cases, there is the danger that this missing information will make the model useless. The focus of this thesis is to study the effect which missing information has on systems level studies within several different contexts. Specifically, we study two contexts : when the missing information takes the role of incomplete molecular interaction network knowledge and when it takes the role of unknown kinetic rate laws. These studies yield interesting results. We show that when metabolism is isolated from gene expression, the effects are not limited to those reactions under strong control by gene expression. Thus, incomplete understanding of molecular interaction networks may have unexpected effects on the resulting analysis. We also reveal that under the conditions of the current study, mass action was shown to be the superior substitute when the true rate equations for a biological system are unknown. In addition to studying the effect of missing information in the aforementioned contexts, we propose a method for limiting the parameter search space of biochemical systems. Even in ideal scenarios where both the molecular interaction network and the relevant kinetic rate equations are known, obtaining appropriate estimates for the unknown system parameters can be challenging. By employing a method which limits the parameter search space, we are able to acquire estimates for parameter values which are much closer to the true values than those which could be obtained otherwise.

Abstract:
The article is devoted to the problem of incorporation geographic information systems (GIS) in world school practice. The authors single out the stages of GIS application in school geographical education based on the retrospective analysis of the scientific literature. The first stage (late 70 s – early 90s of the 20th century) is the beginning of the first educational GIS programs and partnership agreements between schools and universities. The second stage (mid-90s of the 20th century – the beginning of the 21st century) comprises the distribution of GIS-educational programs in European and Australian schools with the involvement of leading developers of GIS-packages (ESRI, Intergraph, MapInfo Corp., etc.). The third stage (2005–2012) marks the spread of the GIS school education in Eastern Europe, Asia, Africa and Latin America; on the fourth stage (from 2012 to the present) geographic information systems emerge in school curricula in most countries. The characteristics of the GIS-technologies development stages are given considering the GIS didactic possibilities for the study of school geography, as well as highlighting their advantages and disadvantages.

Abstract:
Computers, smartphones, smart systems, and other technologies are woven into nearly every aspect of our daily lives. As computational technology advances, it is imperative that we educate young people and working adults to thrive in a computational world. In this context, the essential question for American education is: In a computational world, what is important to know and know how to do? This paper argues that computational thinking is both central to computer science and widely applicable throughout education and the workforce. It is a skillset for solving complex problems, a way to learn topics in any discipline, and a necessity for fully participating in a computational world. The paper concludes with recommendations for integrating computational thinking across K-12 curriculum.
