1. 1. Decoding communication of non-human species - Unsupervised machine learning to infer syntactical and temporal patterns in fruit-bats vocalizations.

   Master-uppsats, Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för data- och systemvetenskap

   Författare :Luigi Assom; [2023]
   Nyckelord :animal decision making; unsupervised machine learning; UMAP; autoencoders; classifiers; bioacoustics; combinatory syntax; animal communication;

   Sammanfattning : Decoding non-human species communication offers a unique chance to explore alternative intelligence forms using machine learning. This master thesis focuses on discreteness and grammar, two of five linguistic areas machine learning can support, and tackles inferring syntax and temporal structures from bioacoustics data annotated with animal behavior.

3. 2. Pathways to Multispecies Cities: Backcasting from Solarpunk Stories

   Master-uppsats, Stockholms universitet/Stockholm Resilience Centre

   Författare :Reetta Rossi; [2023]
   Nyckelord :solarpunk; backcasting; urban futures;

   Sammanfattning : Cities are increasingly important for the well-being of humans, other species, and the whole biosphere. Recently, there has been growing awareness of cities being inhabited by multiple species whose needs are entangled. LÄS MER

4. 3. Zooësis and Contemporary Art : Animal, Plant, and Machine Ontologies: Art Representations Beyond the Human

   Master-uppsats, Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för kultur och estetik

   Författare :Anna Pernilla Olofsson Hjorth; [2022]
   Nyckelord :Human-Nonhuman-Animal Studies; Zooësis; Biopolitical Aesthetics; Material Semiotics; Historical Animal Studies; Cultural Plant Studies; Taxidermy; BioArt; Plant-Art; Cyborg; Hybrid-Artifact;

   Sammanfattning : What does it mean to take Animals, Plants, and Machines seriously when engaging in hybrid natures such as bioart, plant-art, taxidermy art and cyborgs in contemporary art?  Traditionally within art history the focus has been on human culture as the fundamental underpinning for cultural behaviour and productions, consequently rendering animal and plant histories invisible from the analysis of artworks. In this thesis I attend to the bodies of animals, plants, and machines put in the context of the zooësis (places/contact zones) of these bodies as biopolitical aesthetics (aesthetic bodies/objects) in contemporary art.

5. 4. What bird is that?

   Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistik

   Författare :Axel Wetterlundh; [2020]
   Nyckelord :TimeFrequencyRepresentations WignerVilleDistribution Spectrogram ConvolutionalNeuralNetworks Birds; Mathematics and Statistics;

   Sammanfattning : The presence of birds in an ecosystem is often a good indicator of the overall biodiversity. Since birds can be hard to see, their sounds are often used instead to measure their presence. To automatically detect birds the most common method is to use a time-frequency representation together with a convolutional neural network. LÄS MER

7. 5. Respect for animals - with what implications? : A critical policy analysis of the Swedish Animal Welfare Act

   Magister-uppsats, Stockholms universitet/Statsvetenskapliga institutionen

   Författare :Camilla Björkbom; [2020]
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : In this thesis I interrogate the concept of respect for animals, or intrinsic value, in the new Swedish Animal Welfare Act adopted in 2018. I draw on poststructural theory and conceptual input from political theory as well as Martha Nussbaum’s capability approach. LÄS MER
