Aktivt åldrande – individuellt anpassade måltidslösningar för hälsa och livskvalitet hos äldre : slutrapport
- 2016
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In Sweden, as most parts of the world, the proportion of elderly is increasing. Thenumber of the elderly will shortly exceed the number of younger people. Between2010 and 2030, the number of Europeans aged over 65 will rise by nearly 40%.According to the UN, the increase in life expectancy is mainly due toimprovements in nutrition and hygiene. The growing number of older peopleposes major challenges, but also opportunities for society, business andentrepreneurship.Health issues, primarily food, and quality of life are in focus and strongly relatedto autonomy. It should be possible to live an active and independent life, andpossible to make independent choices, regardless of age, disease and disability.This adds to Quality of Life! To achieve this we created a project in collaborationbetween partners from academia, research institutes, business, industry andsociety. The idea was in a first step to identify target groups along with their needsand desires. Then to design foods and meals adapted to the elderly’s needs andpreferences. Further to develop packaging of the meals that can be used forinformation as well as in the distribution chain. The project invented value chainsfor different types of ordering and distribution of the foods and meals as well as toinclude waste management. The outcome of the project are new knowledge aswell as food products available on the market and other products soon ready to beput on the market.

DESIGN ACT Socially and politically engaged design today — critical roles and emerging tactics
- 2011. - 7
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- DESIGN ACT Socially and politically engaged design today — critical roles and emerging tactics is a book that presents and discusses contemporary design practices that engage with political and societal issues. Since 2009, the Iaspis project DESIGN ACT has been highlighting and discussing practices in which designers have been engaging critically as well as practically in such issues. Itself an example of applied critical thinking and experimental tactics, the process behind the DESIGN ACT project is considered as a curatorial, participatory and open-ended activity. DESIGN ACT has developed through an online archive, public events and an international network. This book complements the project, presenting historical and contemporary perspectives, a discussion of emerging themes and tactics, and platforms discussing the role of designers today. The book is produced by Iaspis in collaboration with the Interactive Institute, co-published by Sternberg Press in 2011, and edited by the initiators of the DESIGN ACT project, Magnus Ericson and Ramia Mazé. Texts featuring: Ana Betancour, Otto von Busch, Mauricio Corbalan, Pelin Derviş, Anthony Dunne and Fiona Raby, Magnus Ericson, Joseph Grima, Peter Lang, Yanki Lee, Tor Lindstrand, Natasha Marie Llorens, Helena Mattsson, Ramia Mazé, Ou Ning, Doina Petrescu, Meike Schalk, Christina Zetterlund ; Projects by: A+URL, Camilla Andersson, Anti-Advertising Agency, Jon Ardern and Benedict Singleton, atelier d’architecture autogérée, Otto von Busch, Constant in collaboration with Recyclart, City Mine(d) and Speculoos, Dunne & Raby, eskyiu, Fantastic Norway, Aslı Kıyak İngin and Teike Asselbergs, International Festival with Front, Natalie Jeremijenko and the xClinic staff, Yanki Lee with Paula Dib, live|work, m7red, MINE, muf, New Beauty Council, Josh On, Marjetica Potrč and STEALTH in collaboration with A5 Arkitekter, Michael Rakowitz, Raumlaborberlin, Hannah le Roux, School of Missing Studies / Centrala – Foundation for Future Cities, Stalker, Think Public, UnSworn Industries, Zoom Architecture

Foundations of real-world intelligence
- 2001. - 1
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (refereegranskat)abstract
- In 1992 Japan's Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) began a research program in Real World Computing, as a successor to the Fifth Generation Computing program of the previous decade, complementing the fifth-generation approach. Its objective is to lay a foundation and to pursue the technical realisation of humanlike flexible and intelligent information processing. This book collects results of ten years of original research by five research laboratories in Japan and Europe, whose research focus has been the theoretical and algorithmic foundations of intelligence as manifested in the real world an in our dealing with it. Real-world intelligent systems handle complex, uncertain, dynamic, multimodal information in real time. Both explicit and implicit information are important. Hence we need to develop a novel integrated framework of representing knowledge and making inferences based in it. It is impossible to pre-program all the knowledge needed for coping with the variety and complexity of real environments, and therefore learning and adaptation are keys to intelligence. Learning is a kind of meta-programming strategy. Instead of writing programs for specific tasks, we must write programs that modify themselves based on a system's interaction with its environment. The book includes chapters on inference and learning with graphical models, approximate reasoning, evolutionary computation and beyond, methodology of distributed and active learning, and computing with large random patterns. The treatment is mathematically rigorous, and the discussion of issues is of general interest to an educated reader at large. The book provides excellent reading for graduate courses in Computer Science, Cognitive Science, Artificial Intelligence, and Applied Statistics. Yoshinori Uesaka is a professor of information sciences at the Science University of Tokyo. Pentti Kanerva is a senior researcher at the Swedish Institute of Computer Science. Hideki Asoh is a senior researcher at the Electrotechnical Laboratory in Tsukuba City, Japan

IT+Textiles
- 2010. - 9
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In light of the imminent arrival of ambient intelligence and smart textiles, the design of computational and textile things are rapidly converging. Substantial attention is directed towards the new technical possibilities of these new materials, but less effort seems to be put into the challenging task of re-thinking the use of textiles and computational technology as design materials on the basis of the complex mixture of traditions, perspectives, concepts and methods that result from such convergence. These challenges and opportunities inspired the IT+Textiles design research program. Trying to dissolve the distinction between technologies and design materials, we have combined textile and interaction design, textile and electrical engineering, philosophy and the behavioural sciences to find new approaches to issues of use and context, form and aesthetics, practice and theory. In this book, we describe the collection of materials, examples, methods and concepts we have developed in our investigation of this emerging design space. IT+Textiles is a design research program led by the Interactive Institute and Newmad Technologies in collaboration with academic and industrial partners in Sweden, and is funded by VINNOVA (the Swedish Agency for Innovation Systems). This is a reprint of the book published in 2005 by IT Press/Edita.

Measurement with persons : Theory, methods and implementation areas
- 2011. - 1
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Measurements with persons are those in which human perception and interpretation are used for measuring complex, holistic quantities and qualities, which are perceived by the human brain and mind. Providing means for reproducible measurement of parameters such as pleasure and pain has important implications in evaluating all kinds of products, services and conditions. This book inaugurates a new era for this subject: a multi- and inter-disciplinary volume in which world-renowned scientists from the psychological, physical, biological, and social sciences reach a common understanding of measurement theory and methods. In the first section, generic theoretical and methodological issues are treated, including the perceptual basis of measurement in the various fields involved; the development of formal, representational, and probabilistic theories; the approach to experimentation; and the theories, models and methods for multidimensional problems. In the second section, several implementation areas are presented, including sound, visual, skin , and odor perception, functional brain imaging, body language and emotions , and, finally the use of measurements in decision making. The book covers topics relevant to a range of sciences, including general psychology and psychophysics, measurement theory, metrology and instrumentation, neurophysiology, engineering, biology and chemistry.
