Cette thèse est consacrée à la seconde partie de la carrière de l’architecte Adolf Loos (1870-1933) à partir de la fin de la Première Guerre mondiale jusqu’en 1933, et surtout après son départ de Vienne en 1923. Notre hypothèse de travail est que loin d’être une période « en creux » comme l’historiographie l’a souvent présentée, celle-ci est marquée par une plus large...

Personal computing systems like e.g., laptop, smartphone, and smartwatches are nowadays ubiquitous in people's everyday life. People use such systems not only for communicating or searching for information, but also as digital companions, able to track and support their daily activities such as sleep, food intake, physical exercise and even work. Sensors embedded in personal computing systems...

The idea of agents in superposition is central to both encapsulated observers, i.e. Wigner’s-friend-type experiments, and correlations without definite causal order. An agent might be regarded as a thinking or computing entity that is able to perform operations on (other) quantum systems. In case of Wigner’s-friend setups, an agent’s ability to make predictions about other agents...

Social norms as concepts of legitimate and appropriate action are basic elements of social coordination and essentially “communication phenomena” (Rimal & Lapinski, 2015, Lapinski & Rimal, 2005). They are negotiated, shaped, understood, learned, and maintained through communication, with mediated public discourses as central forums for the communication and negotiation of norms. Despite...

Language use acts as an indicator of the individuals’ current mental state, personality and even personal values. In this thesis, we focus on language analysis to study two closely related processes which encompass integral components of...

Sleep is important for health and well-being. Nevertheless, sleep is disturbed in about 20% of the population (e.g., by insomnia) with cognition (e.g., recurrent thoughts, rumination, or worry) making sleep harder. This dissertation therefore describes three cognitive models that illustrate the influence of cognition on sleep. The first model describes how negative cognitive activity leads...

Numerosi studi nell’ambito della ricerca in didattica della matematica hanno ormai da tempo evidenziato come esistano profonde connessioni tra apprendimento della matematica e dimensione linguistica. La presente dissertazione si pone sulla scia di queste ricerche: partendo dal presupposto che una visione integrata tra le due discipline rappresenti un fecondo terreno di indagine, viene...
