Adotamos a noção de cultura epistêmica para operacionalizar nossa análise sobre estratégias para configuração de objetos, tecnologias e sujeitos epistêmicos por sistemas de produção de conhecimento que, por sua vez, criam efeitos de verdade. Para tal, nos inspiramos nas etnografias de laboratório e na abordagem das “três tecnologias” de Shapin e Shaffer (1985) para explicar como os filósofos naturais do século XVII construíram a noção de fato científico (matter of fact) como uma “variedade de conhecimento” tão sólida que se tornou sinônimo de ciência. De modo análogo, procuramos compreender como os modos de ciência emergentes pretendem legitimar novas maneiras de produzir conhecimento e disputar a própria noção de ciência. No movimento contemporâneo da Ciência Aberta, abordamos o open notebook science, tal como proposto em 2006 pelo professor e pesquisador em Química Jean-Claude Bradley como “uma maneira de fazer ciência na qual – da melhor maneira possível – você torna toda a sua pesquisa livre e acessível ao público em tempo real” (BRADLEY, set 2010). Adentramos seu “laboratório aberto” através de uma pesquisa documental que identificou o caderno aberto como principal elemento de um complexo ecossistema de colaboração aberta. Articulada com tecnologias sociais e materiais, esta tecnologia literária pretende substituir uma ciência baseada na confiança por outra fundamentada na transparência e na proveniência dos dados. Sua cultura epistêmica não impõe a obtenção de um fato científico como condição sine qua non para a comunicação de conhecimento novo, mas valoriza, sobretudo, o registro adequado da prática experimental seja qual for seu resultado – o que chamamos de matter of proof pela ênfase na documentação. Já na Ciência Comum (LAFUENTE, ESTALELLA, 2015), abordamos o caderno aberto de laboratório cidadão (CALC) prototipado por Antonio Lafuente e práticas de documentação de pesquisadoras-mediadoras do Medialab Prado, instituição pública madrilenha se autodenomina “laboratório cidadão”. Aqui, a crítica à noção de fato científico dialoga com o composicionismo latouriano ao compreendê-lo como um (importante) subconjunto da realidade que, no entanto, não deve se sobrepor aos debates políticos, mas conectar-se às “questões de interesse” (matter of concern). Nesta perspectiva, a modernização epistêmica fomentaria um “terceiro setor do conhecimento” que disputaria a governança antecipatória de assuntos tecnocientíficos (LAFUENTE, 2007). Nossa observação participante identificou que as práticas atuais de documentação tendem a reproduzir a lógica do campo da produção cultural que fomenta novos imaginários políticos, mas não inicia o ciclo de acumulação de conhecimento que o transformaria os laboratórios cidadãos em centros de cálculo (LATOUR, 2000). Os promotores de atividades tendem a reduzir a comunicação à divulgação de atividades para atrair participantes em potencial ou a prestação de contas, comprovando a realização de atividades. / We describe and analyze new epistemic cultures (KNORR-CETINA, 1999) that are being engendered by two emerging modes of science - Open Science and Common Science - that, despite numerous differences, converge on two aspects: the critique of scientific fact and their strategy of transforming laboratory notebooks into their main literary technology. We have adopted the notion of epistemic culture to operationalise our analysis of knowledge production systems strategies to configurate technologies, epistemic objects and subjects that, in turn, create effects of truth. To do so, we are inspired by laboratory ethnographies and Shapin and Shaffer's (1985) "three technologies" approach elaborated to explain how natural philosophers of the seventeenth century constructed the notion of scientific fact (matter of fact) so solid that it became synonym of science. Similarly, we aimed to understand how emerging modes of science seek to legitimize new ways of producing knowledge and disputing the very notion of science. In the contemporary Open Science movement, we approach open notebook science, proposed in 2006 by professor and researcher in Chemistry Jean-Claude Bradley as "a way of doing science in which - in the best possible way - you make all your research free and accessible to the public in real time" (BRADLEY, Sep 2010). We entered his "open laboratory" through documentary research that identified the open notebook as the main element of a complex ecosystem of open collaboration. Articulated with new social and material technologies, this literary technology aims to replace a science based on trust with one based on transparency and data provenance. Its epistemic culture does not impose a scientific fact as a sine qua non condition for knowledge communication, but values, above all, the adequate record of experimental practice whatever its outcome is - an epistemic culture that we have named a "matter of proof", given its emphasis on documentation. In Common Science (LAFUENTE, ESTALELLA, 2015), we investigated the open notebook of citizens' laboratory (CALC in spanish) prototyped by Antonio Lafuente and documentation practices of mediator- researchers at Medialab Prado, a public institution in Madrid that calls itself a "citizen's laboratory". Here, the critique of scientific fact dialogues with Latour´s compositionism since it is understood as an (important) subset of reality, which, however, should not supersede political debates, but rather relate to “matters of concern". In this perspective, the epistemic modernization process would foster a "third sector of knowledge" that would dispute the anticipatory governance of technoscientific subjects (LAFUENTE, 2007). Our participant observation has observed that current documentation practices tend to reproduce the logic of a cultural production field that fosters new political imaginaries, but does not initiate the knowledge accumulation cycle that would transform citizen laboratories into centre of calculation (LATOUR, 2000). Promoters tend to reduce communication to publicity of activities, attracting potential participants; or accountability, to prove that they carried out the projects.

OpenModelica is an open-source based development environment for Modelica coordinated by the Programming Environments Laboratory (PELAB) at Linköpings Universitet. Previously an external tool, PtPlot, has been used to create graphics from simulation data. This tool is poorly integrated with OMNotebook, the OpenModelica Notebook, which is a tool for creating interactive documents where Modelica code can be edited and evaluated. This thesis develops and implements a plotting API accessible from Modelica algorithmic code and extends OMNotebook to allow creation of diagrams and other forms of graphics without an external application.These diagrams are more customizable than those generated by PtPlot and allow for example logarithmic scaling. The new Modelica API for graphic programming allows access of graphic functionality from within Modelica models and Modelica functions.

Fuzzy logic is a complex tool for support for decision-making in various arrays of use. This thesis should analyze existing solutions in selected decision processes in companies and to bring more effective ways of decision-making using fuzzy logic in consequence.

One of the largest product categories within all the electronic products is portable ­computers, also known as notebooks, is slowly replacing stationary computers and is ­predicted to be the mainstream choice in the near future. But the current state of ­notebook shows these products are not accommodated for an effective large scale ­recycling process. As the notebooks are becoming more compact, its inner ­structures have become more complicated. Permanently fastening methods, multi-material ­compositions and many other factors contribute to an ineffective, expensive and tedious recycling process. The goal of the project treated in this report was to investigate the possibilities of a simplified structure adapted for an effective disassembly and recycling process. And to develop a conceptual notebook adapted for the stated purpose. The project resulted in a conceptual notebook named Sixten with an enhanced and ­simplified inner structure. All permanently fastening methods was replaced by ­detachable locking and securing devices. The number of tools required for dismantling was reduced, as the usage of screws. The variation of materials used in the notebook, with ­electrical components apart, is low. These materials, ABS plastics and aluminum were chosen based on their recyclable and processing possibilities. But also because of the durability and desired mechanical properties the structure required. The limited number of materials used in Sixten makes it environmentally beneficial since every material ­requires its own specific recycling process, and by reducing the number of materials energy can be saved on using only a few recycling methods. Sixten fulfills the principals of design for disassembly as a notebook that is easy to ­disassemble in comparison with notebooks on the market today. The disassembly time has been reduced, from the 45 minutes which may be required to fully disassemble a conventional notebook, down to an estimated disassembly time of 6 minutes, which is the time Sixten requires. It is in this short disassembly time where the economic benefits of Sixten lie.

With the ongoing innovation of production technology, the quality and properties of NoteBook (NB) are more advanced, and the price is getting lower. Due to the low price and the rising of Chinese consumption level, the demand of NB is progressively increasing. On the other hand, compared with other items, NB is a high unit price item. Therefore, the brand name of products becomes a factor for consideration in consumer purchases. It also leads to the consequence of NB industrial concentration. According to MIC¡¦s report, the global market share of top 5 NB brand (Acer, Hewlett Packard, Dell, Lenevo, and Toshiba) is up to 74% in 2010. Due to the circulation in information technology, NB functions and services provided by brand companies become similar. Under this condition, the discrepancy between different brand NBs is shortened. In the consumer-oriented market, only consumer satisfaction cannot create the consumer loyalty. Despite the consumer satisfaction, brand companies should consider other factors that affect the brand loyalty. The research is to discuss the factors affecting brand loyalty from the aspects of involvement, using habits, and demographic variables. In addition, statistic analysis is based on collecting questionnaires, in which the analysis includes factor analysis, regression analysis, and ANOVA analysis. The research found that: 1. Consumer satisfaction still affects brand value ,and be a essential factor of brand loyalty. 2. Regarding to involvement, product pleasure will be factor between consumer satisfaction and brand loyalty; others will be not. 3. Using habit and Demographic Statistic will be factors between consumer satisfaction and brand loyalty.
