1. 1. Reconstructing point patterns from spatially aggregated data

   University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för matematiska vetenskaper

   Author : Jens Michelsen; [2024-03-13]
   Keywords : lorem; ipsum; dolor; sit; amet; consectetur; adipisicing; elit; sed; do.;

   Abstract : In this thesis we explore the ability to reconstruct samples (point configurations) from a point process, based only on the information contained in spatially aggregated data, namely the number of points in the partitions of a larger region. The ability to reconstruct a point configuration, in such a way that it retains most of it’s statistical properties, could be useful in cases where one is faced with a mixed dataset; some regions containing the full point configuration data, while other regions only contain aggregated data, i.

3. 2. Simulating Mobility of Large Population using Mobile Application Data

   University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för data- och informationsteknik

   Author : Mattias Rydström; Diana Salim; [2024-01-23]
   Keywords : Human mobility; mobile application data; synthesize activity plans;

   Abstract : Understanding people’s travel patterns and knowing the frequency of their travel activities provide important insights for effective transport management and infrastructure planning. While traditional travel surveys have historically contributed to this valuable information, they come with shortcomings such as being expensive to collect, easily outdated, and having short time coverage.

4. 3. Accessibility in Social Media : Facebook and the Older Adult

   University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för bibliotek, information, pedagogik och IT

   Author : Angie Jeansson Hall; Arshed Al-Hadeethi; Jenny Gustafsson; [2024]
   Keywords : Older Social Media Users; Heuristic Evaluation; Inclusive Design; WCAG Compliance; Digital Exclusion; Facebook Usability; User Study;

   Abstract : In recent years, there has been a substantial increase in the percentage of seniors using social media, yet few studies have been conducted to understand the challenges underlying social network utilisation by seniors. By understanding what motivates seniors to use social media, the difficulties they encounter while using them and what would be an inclusive social media from their perspective is paramount for designing inclusive user interfaces that suit this growing population.
