How to Frame Understanding in Mathematics Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The frame concept from linguistics, cognitive science and artificial intelligence is a theoretical tool to model how explicitly given information is combined with expectations deriving from background knowledge. In this paper, we show how the frame concept can be fruitfully applied to analyze the notion of mathematical understanding. Our analysis additionally integrates insights from the hermeneutic tradition of philosophy as well as Schmid’s ...
To frame is to explain: A deductive frame-analysis of Dutch and French climate change coverage during the annual UN Conferences of the Parties KU Leuven Ghent University
This study examines the way Dutch and French newspapers frame climate change during the annual United Nations Conferences of the Parties. The methods used in previous studies on the framing of climate change do not allow for general cross-national comparisons. We conduct a quantitative deductive framing analysis on 257 quality Dutch and French newspaper articles between 2001 and 2007. Both countries' newspapers seem to frame climate change ...
Frame theoretic methods in topology and analysis University of Antwerp
The study of frames is also known as pointfree topology. As the name suggests, this is a way of studying spaces without (mentioning) points. This idea is more natural than one might initially think: when drawing a point on paper, we do not draw an actual point, but rather a “spot”, which can be reduced in size if that would be required to serve our purposes. In topology, spots of varying sizes are modelled by open sets, which become the building ...
Crises frame dynamics University of Antwerp
This study aims to understand the dynamic evolvement of frames in news media coverage of the Ebola crisis (2014-2015) and their interplay with narratives put forth in governmental organizations’ (GOs) press releases. An automated-content analysis was applied to U.S. newspapers and GOs press releases on the Ebola epidemic. The findings of time series analyses illustrate how the scope of frames in news media becomes narrower (decreased diversity) ...
Fire safety analysis of a 3D frame structure based on a full-scale fire test Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The topic of this paper is the fire safety analysis of 3D frame structures such as industrial halls. Cold-formed thin plated elements are used as structural components. The building, which is submitted to a full-scale fire test, is introduced. A blind prediction analysis is performed using the finite element model SAFIR. The thermal response of the structural elements under both a standard fire and a natural fire corresponding to a fire load ...
How to frame innovation in mathematics Vrije Universiteit Brussel
We discuss conceptual change and progress within mathematics, in particular how tools, structural concepts and representations are transferred between fields that appear to be unconnected or remote from each other. The theoretical background is provided by the frame concept, which is used in linguistics, cognitive science and artificial intelligence to model how explicitly given information is combined with expectations deriving from background ...
What strikes the responsive chord? The effects of framing qualities on frame resonance amongst protest participants University of Antwerp
This study analyzes the extent to which collective action frames with certain qualities resonate with protesters. It goes beyond previous research on frame resonance by directly examining the frames that demonstrators use to motivate their participation and by comparing them with the frames of social movement organizations. The data consist of protest surveys from more than 5,000 participants in twenty-nine street demonstrations on various ...
Joint Local and Global Information Learning With Single Apex Frame Detection for Micro-Expression Recognition KU Leuven
Micro-expressions (MEs) are rapid and subtle facial movements that are difficult to detect and recognize. Most recent works have attempted to recognize MEs with spatial and temporal information from video clips. According to psychological studies, the apex frame conveys the most emotional information expressed in facial expressions. However, it is not clear how the single apex frame contributes to micro-expression recognition. To alleviate that ...
