Persuasive teachable agent for intergenerational learning by Lim, Su Fang

“…In this thesis, the Persuasive Teachable Agent (PTA) is proposed, a teachable agent based on the theoretical framework of persuasion, computational and goal-oriented agent modelling. Firstly, our proposition is that persuasion theory, which attempts to influence behaviour and attitude change in the users allow the PTA to resolve interaction issues in existing TA by keeping users interested the process of teaching the agent. …”

Doodles and Blobs on a Ruled Page: Convex Quasi-envelops of Traversing Flows on Surfaces by Katz, Gabriel

“…We compute the bordisms of regular embeddings and construct many invariants that distinguish between the bordisms of immersions and embeddings. In the case of oriented doodles on $$A= {\mathbb {R}} \times I$$ A = R × I , our computations of 2-moderate immersion bordisms $$\textbf{OC}^{\textsf{imm}}_{\mathsf {moderate \le 2}}(A)$$ OC moderate ≤ 2 imm ( A ) are near complete: we show that they can be described by an exact sequence of abelian groups $$\begin{aligned} 0 \rightarrow {\textbf{K}} \rightarrow \textbf{OC}^{\textsf{imm}}_{\mathsf {moderate \le 2}}(A)\big /\textbf{OC}^{\textsf{emb}}_{\mathsf {moderate \le 2}}(A) {\mathop {\longrightarrow }\limits ^{{\mathcal {I}} \rho }} {\mathbb {Z}} \times {\mathbb {Z}} \rightarrow 0, \end{aligned}$$ 0 → K → OC moderate ≤ 2 imm ( A ) / OC moderate ≤ 2 emb ( A ) ⟶ I ρ Z × Z → 0 , where $$\textbf{OC}^{\textsf{emb}}_{\mathsf {moderate \le 2}}(A) \approx {\mathbb {Z}} \times {\mathbb {Z}}$$ OC moderate ≤ 2 emb ( A ) ≈ Z × Z , the epimorphism $${\mathcal {I}} \rho $$ I ρ counts different types of crossings of immersed doodles, and the kernel $${\textbf{K}}$$ K contains the group $$({\mathbb {Z}})^\infty $$ ( Z ) ∞ whose generators are described explicitly.…”

The moral formation of the intellectual appetite in Hugh of St. Victor, Philip Melanchthon, and John Henry Newman by Williams, B

“…These visions often regard people as either detached intellects, political citizens, marketplace labourers, technological innovators, or moral and spiritual agents, and orient the process of education accordingly. The tradition of theological reflection on education, known as the "didascalic tradition," provides resources for thinking that people are each of these and more.…”

Expressions of grief on the early modern stage by Welch, K

“…The first is the extent to which theatrical mourning is an expression of mourning for a Catholic past, a familiar account that is complicated by asking what happens when mourning is future-oriented, rehearsing for a death still to come. The second intervention disrupts the notion of a linear progression from stoical, anti-grief attitudes to increasing sympathy for mourners by revealing a variety of responses to staged mourning across this time period.…”
