This paper proposes a ‘tool for thinking with’1: that we can describe the interaction between peopleand computers, and especially people and developer tools, as a form of conversation. We outline thisperspective, construct a work in progress analytical frame, and use it to talk about a couple of differentexamples and draw implications for future work.

Despite the growing integration of code analysis tools into developer workflows, usability challengespersist in many aspects. Previous research, primarily focused on static languages and professional developers, has largely overlooked the needs of novice developers and non-static languages like Python.In this paper, we investigate the experiences of novice Python programmers with static code analy

When interacting with other humans, we attempt to develop a shared understanding using various means. One such method is through our eyes: when someone is looking at something, we understand that their attention is focused on that object. In this work, we present the results of an eye-tracking study built upon the Progger tool, in which we used additional code highlighting in an attempt to influen

This chapter discusses implications for epigenetic responsibility that the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in the analysis of epigenetics gives rise to. AI technology has a capacity to see patterns in big data sets and can help improve accuracy in epigenetic based diagnostics, prognostics, and therapy. However, characteristics of AI systems such as their black-box character, and their

The first mass-distributed vaccines based on mRNA technology were launched in 2021 to protect against COVID-19, sparking rumours among vaccine critical individuals that these “new” vaccines might be more dangerous to the health than other, “traditional” vaccines. Drawing on rumour theories and social cognitive perspectives, the aim of this chapter is to account for the purpose and the spreading of

Custom instructions used for structuring data using a trained LLM (ChatGPT), as a GitHub repository. The repository contains the preprompting instructions, a link to a deployment on ChatGPT that can be tested, and a documentation video of the system in use.

It is important for utilities to plan for Distributed Energy Resources (DER) uptake by representing and modelling their characteristics using appropriate assumptions, methods and tools. Large-scale DER deployment impacts power flows and power system performance in various complex ways as well as potentially contributing to ancillary services. In this paper, we explore state of the art planning met

This chapter critically analyses SDG 8 (Decent work and economic growth) and its targets from the perspective of degrowth, and suggests how the economy and work could be reoriented towards socio-ecological transformation. First, it problematizes the goal of perpetual economic growth, which is not compatible with ecological sustainability because of the impossibility of decoupling GDP growth from m

ABSTRACT In 2021, we were designing a research study in Sweden in which we planned to use newspaper articles focusing on children and adolescents under the age of eighteen during the Covid-19 pandemic as empirical material. As we developed this study, an ethical question arose: do studies using journalistic articles that may contain health information about individuals as empirical material have t

BACKGROUND: The head-up tilt test (HUT) and other evidence suggest that the vagal effect on the heart decreases with age.OBJECTIVES: The main aim of the study was to assess whether this age effect also affects the rate of asystole in spontaneous reflex syncope (RS).METHOD: We performed an analysis of pooled individual data from 4 studies that recruited patients ≥40 years of age affected by certain

According to the dual route model of word processing (Pinker & Prince, 1991),morphologically irregular and frequent words are stored in the lexical memory as full-form neural representations. In contrast, regular and infrequent words are decomposed into morphemes. So far, it has been unclear whether a tonal element―a lexical word accent―is treated by the brain as a decomposable component or an

Background: Pragmatics is the functional use of language in ever-changing social contexts. One early pragmatic ability is decontextualized language;to talk about events and things beyond here and now. Pragmatic difficulties are practically universal in ASD, but we don’t know about impairmentsin early pragmatic development. Further, the roles of early socio-communication and linguistic abilities in

Logoped Maja Rudling disputerade i mars 2023 inom psykologi på Uppsala universitet. Avhandlingen ”Facilitators of communication and the development of autism” handlar om tidig utveckling av autism, med fokus på sociala och kommunikativa aspekter under de första två levnadsåren. Arbetet med avhandlingen var en del av den longitudinella småsyskonstudien ”Projekt Småsyskon” och sammantaget belyser de
