The question of the relation between the collective and the individual has had a long but patchy history within both philosophy and psychology. In this chapter we consider some arguments that could be adopted for the primacy of the we, and examine their conceptual and empirical implications. We argue that the we needs to be seen as a developing and dynamic identity, not as something that exists fu

We present a rasterizer, based on time-dependent edge equations, that computes analytical visibility in order to render accurate motion blur. The theory for doing the computations in a rasterization framework is derived in detail, and then implemented. To keep the frame buffer requirements low, we also present a new oracle-based compression algorithm for the time intervals. Our results are promisi

This paper deals with new forms of political mobilisation and participation in social media. The main focus is on the importance of social networks in providing a “media filter”, functioning as a kind of collective gatekeeper to spread news and information perceived as important, in contrast to the image of the single individual media consumer faced with an insurmountable mass of information.

he surface structure of Bi(110) has been investigated by low-energy electron diffraction (LEED) intensity analysis and by first-principles calculations. Diffraction patterns at a sample temperature of 110 K and normal incidence reveal a bulk truncated (1×1) surface without indication of any structural reconstruction despite the presence of dangling bonds on the surface layer. Good agreement is obt

Popular Abstract in Swedish Språklig bearbetning och kontextuell påverkan En studie av förskolebarn med språkstörning Bakgrund Avhandlingen behandlar olika aspekter av språklig bearbetning hos barn med språkstörning. Barn med språkstörning har svårt att tillägna sig sitt modersmål trots att de växer upp i en enspråkig miljö. Dessa barn får problem i förskolan och ofta senare under skolåren efterLanguage Processing and Contextual Influence A Study of Swedish Preschool Children with Language Impairment The aim of the present work was to study different types of contextual influence on language performance in a variety of tasks: repetition of nonwords, narration, understanding of idioms and picture naming in a group of Swedish preschool children with language impairment (LI). The stress p

Det främsta syftet med detta expertutlåtande är att göra äldre teknikanvändare tydligare och föreslå åtgärder som motverkar diskriminering, okunskap och osynliggörande av äldre i innovationsprocesserna. Expertutlåtandets bedömning är nämligen att det i huvudsak är sådana brister som tenderar att hålla kvar föreställningarna om äldre som passiva och behövande mottagare, rent av som offer för ny tek
