▼ Architecture and Information, abundance and connectivity, unsettling hierarchies. Clouds, streams, lists, indexes, pixels. What are they about and how do they shape the way we think about the world? How is coding changing the way in which we think about architecture? One way to approach this vast cloud is by thinking of coding as a literacy. Play Among Books wants to offer one fantastic scenario of what such a literacy might be about. Not by explaining or defining what it is, but by performing a Play Among Books. This play is an attempt to talk about architecture and information on the level adequate to abstractness, speed and breadth of today’s information technologies. It approaches architecture and information from an infinite flow of books. It strives to show a mode of handling objects as ambiguous and lively propositions, rather than finding their definitions. Play Among Books keeps concepts and books alive, open and implicit by placing them in the plenty, exposing them to different contexts, and taking into account their richness and beauty. In Play among Books, books start to open up to the world and grow. They become more, as one learns how they behave in different and new atmospheres. In this sense, coding as literacy becomes a way of approaching concepts and objects beyond specialised and disciplined perspectives, not by explaining and analysing them, but by indexing them in many manners, by taking snapshots of their informational faces, and by granting them intelligence. Play among Books consists out of two main parts. One part is the articulation of the Informational Instrument, and the other part is a performance with it. The performance, in itself, consists out of two plays, played in inverted manners. The first play talks about information in an intimate way, by going from the spectrality of concepts towards their articulations in books. The second play seeks for architecture in the infinite flow of books by approaching it in atom-letters. It goes from the flow towards a subtle articulation of characters and concepts. Together, both plays form an infinite spiral where one talks to books and learns with concepts. Books start to express their many faces. They can become a letter and a mood, encode the subjective and the objective, symbolise its quantities and qualities, change masks and dresses, produce paradoxes, and stay unsettled. Play Among Books is a symposium on architecture and information spelt in Atom-Letters. Advisors/Committee Members: Hovestadt, Ludger, Bühlmann, Vera, Delbeke, Maarten.

▼ This research thesis is aimed to examine a new housing problem of the younger generation in Greece. They find themselves in a difficult position of earning insufficient incomes, or being unemployed and therefore not being able to have access to housing. Home ownership is not an option for them, due to heavy taxation that accompanies it and rental prices are still unaffordable for a big part of the population. In fact the ratio of income to housing rental price is almost the same. On top of that, examining the housing stock of Greece we observe that in the centers of many big cities such as Athens, Thesaloniki, or Kalamata unused buildings exist, being left unrented or unsold, due to lack of collaboration between their owners. 96% of them are situated in Athens city center and therefore it is used as a case study of this research. Potentials need to be found for reusing the empty stock and motivating the owners, starting from the smaller scale and moving towards the greater image. In this point, the European successful idea of cooperative housing is proposed as an alternative affordable and sustainable solution for the millennial’s housing problem in Athens. It could solve the abandoned buildings issue, provide job opportunities for the residents, revitalize local neighborhoods in the city center and offer adequate housing in lower prices than the current real estate market. Bottom – up initiatives and group synergies from the citizens will act as the beginning of this process and cooperation will the authorities will be necessary at the point of a new legal framework needed to support the cooperative. The research gap that has been found, of studying cooperative housing in Athens for the millennials is empirical and new, as only practical efforts are being performed at the moment. Definitely, this is a study directed to solve the problems of an initial target group, but if the pilot model becomes a success other proposals might come up for different target groups.

▼ Since the construction industry has begun deploying robotic technologies for digital fabrication processes, this direction has mostly been focused on integrating industrial-type robots into off-site prefabrication processes. By contrast, no enabling robotic technology exists today that allows robotic systems to be integrated into in situ construction processes right on the building site. This is mainly because in comparison with robotic prefabrication, robotic in situ fabrication faces fundamental technological challenges. First, buildings are large in scale. In contrast to prefabricating sub-assemblies of a building with stationary robotic systems off-site, in situ robotic systems must be able to fabricate large-scale assemblies at their final location. Second, building sites are poorly structured. As opposed to operate within structured factory conditions, in situ robotic systems must be able to accurately fabricate large-scale assemblies – irrespective of the uncertainties prevalent on-site. To firstly address the challenges imposed by the building scale, this thesis explores the mobile robotic fabrication of continuous and monolithic architectural-scale building components on-site. To further respond to the challenges imposed by the unstructured nature of building sites, and by the uncertainties related to the site, the fabrication, and the material, this thesis investigates the integration of robotic sensing solutions and the implementation of adaptive fabrication control techniques. For the purpose of validating the developed methods and strategies for robotic in situ fabrication, three subsequent case studies are implemented. Each of them utilises a different robotic set-up, once a stationary and twice a mobile, and applies a distinctive material system – that is, loam, bricks, and steel rebar. The research culminates in the third experiment, namely the mobile robotic fabrication of a doubly-curved steel rebar mesh for a reinforced concrete wall. This demonstration provides the unique opportunity to present robotic situ fabrication not only as a future vision, but applied in the context of a real construction project.

Z razvojem je Evropska unija ustvarila različne mehanizme in politike v smeri izvajanja ukrepov, pomoči, zagotavljanja storitev, razvoja, vojaških posegov itd. Skladi Evropske unije predstavljajo instrumente ali programe, ki nudijo pomoč državam članicam ali državam kandidatkam za članstvo v razvoju na različnih področjih. Na splošno so skladi oziroma programi namenjeni državam članicam, a za olajšanje njihove priprave na članstvo držav kandidatk je del teh sredstev odprt za države kandidatke ali posebna sredstva zgolj za predpristopno pomoč, ki pa je poseben interes ali namen te raziskave. V skladu s tem smo se pri nadaljnji opredelitvi problema usmerili ravno na Republiko Makedonijo kot državo kandidatko za članstvo v Uniji, s poudarkom na izkoriščenosti na državni ravni. Do danes je več skladov prispevalo ali ponudilo priložnost za podporo državam članicam EU in državam kandidatkam za članstvo. Skladi so eden od instrumentov, ki pomagajo neenakim ali manj razvitim državam doseči razvojno raven tistih, ki so bolj razviti. Skladi so instrumenti, ki v veliki meri prispevajo k olajšanju predpristopne poti kandidatkam predvsem s finančno pomočjo ter pomočjo na številnih področjih, ki so pomembna tako za Unijo kot tudi za države kandidatke. V začetnih poglavjih magistrskega dela smo opredelili Evropsko integracijo, njene cilje in njeno ekonomiko oziroma zakaj se države hočejo integrarati v EU, katere so prednosti in slabosti, izzivi in možnosti, pojasnili smo evolucijo Evropske Unije oziroma, kako je prišlo do politične in ekonomske skupnosti, opredelili sklade za predpristopno pomoč in pojasnili njihove cilje in naloge, opisali sestavine oziroma komponente teh skladov ter na kratko opisali njihovo implementacijo v Republiki Makedoniji. V nadaljevanju smo analizirali izkoriščenost sredstev Instrumenta za predpristopno pomoč na državni ravni, in sicer glede na vrsto pogodb, organ ki vodi posel, vrsto uporabnika, v primerjavi z nacionalno udeležbo. Analizirali smo tudi sredstva glede na osnovne makroekonomske kazalnike ter podali dokaz za postavljeno hipotezo s pomočjo linearne regresije.

With development up until today, the European Union has created various mechanisms in the policies towards the implementation of measures, assistance, provision of services, development, military interventions etc. The European Union funds represent instruments or programs that provide assistance to Member States or candidate countries for membership in the development in various fields. In general, funds or programs are targeted at Member States, but in order to facilitate their preparation for membership of the candidate countries, part of this funding is open to candidate countries or special funds only for pre-accession assistance, which is of particular interest or a purpose of this research and accordingly, further problem-solving was directed towards the Republic of Macedonia as a candidate country for membership in the Union, with emphasis on utilization at the state level. Until today, several funds have contributed or…

▼ Shaped by concern and curiosity for the state of indeterminacy in the public realm, the premise of this research is that questions of power, resistance and identity are mainly contested in undefined spaces within, as well as on the outskirts of, contemporary cities. The traditional concept of the city as a relatively contained and cohesive entity has been increasingly questioned by subsequent decentralization, suburbanization and fragmentation in the way the built-environment is perceived. The diversity inherent today in the concept of 'city' is greater than the capacity of the available vocabulary to define new emerging spaces. Within the contemporary diffused urban fabric, new globalized landscapes merge city and nature into an uncontrollable condition. Some of these indeterminate spaces are neither properly defined nor well situated within the urban discourse. In this respect, a need surfaced in the 1990s for innovative and alternative tools to delineate, represent and intervene in such indefinite spaces. The notion of terrain vague, which defines not only physical aspects of indeterminate spaces, but also how we perceive and represent these, emerged out of this context. Such a notion, which appears to combine seemingly antagonist meanings of both vagueness and territoriality, and of both fear and hope, holds a strong potential for urban change. It is capable of responding to multiple issues posed by the contemporary urban fabric made of fragmented diversified elements. Accordingly, approaches and reflections on terrains vagues have become increasingly significant in the last twenty years, and the notion has evolved in marked urban approaches towards a discourse larger than a mere idea. The term was coined in the fields of architecture and urbanism by Catalan theoretician and architect Ignasi de Solà-Morales in the mid-1990s through his essay of the same name: "Terrain Vague". He described spaces that fall out of the normal urban organization due to their inefficiency to serve a primary function in the systems of production, consumption, infrastructure, or recreation. He argued that these spaces possess particular qualities making them notably attractive to photographers and architects. Inspired by the urban transformations of Berlin after the fall of the Wall in 1989 and those of post- Olympics Barcelona after 1992, Solà-Morales first constructed and formulated the notion of terrain vague during the first half of the decade within the contexts of the Metropolis Master Program in Barcelona and his lectures of 1992-1993 at Princeton University. He then presented and published his essay, in 1994 and 1995, within a seminar at the Triennale di Milano and Anyplace at the CCA in Montreal, the fourth in a series of yearly conferences organized by the Anyone Corporation. After that, the essay and the notion were internationally influential, recurrently translated, re-presented, re-published, and received with great interest. From the notion’s history line, to the author’s trajectory and… Advisors/Committee Members: Ursprung, Philip, Costa, Xavier.

Po več kot tridesetih letih pogajanj je 25 članic Evropske unije februarja 2013 doseglo zgodovinski dogovor na patentnem področju. Sprejet in podpisan je bil še zadnji manjkajoči del Patentnega svežnja EU – Sporazum o enotnem patentnem sodišču – in enotnemu patentu EU so se končno na široko odprla vrata. V času, ko intelektualna lastnina pridobiva na pomenu in imajo patenti vse večjo konkurenčno in ekonomsko vrednost, se zdi podpis Sporazuma pomembnejši kot kadarkoli prej. Enotni patent prinaša mnogo prednosti za podjetja, predvsem mala in srednje velika. Predvideva zmanjševanje stroškov za kar 80 %, enostavnejše postopke pridobitve, uporabnikom prijaznejši jezikovni aranžma in bolj pregledno ureditev pravnega področja. Nov patentni sistem pomeni nove izzive za podjetja, strokovnjaki opozarjajo, da ne vedno tista v pozitivnem smislu. Povečano število patentov pomeni večje možnosti izrabljanja sistema in neetičnega poslovnega vedenja. Še posebej zaskrbljujoči so tako imenovani patentni škrati in izkoriščanje pravnega sistema v svoj prid – »forum shopping«. Evropska unija in podjetja, ki delujejo znotraj njenih meja, se bodo morala naučiti delovati v novih okoliščinah, ko svet postaja vse bolj integriran in globaliziran. Ali se bodo uresničile pozitivne napovedi predstavnikov Evropske unije ali tiste bolj črnoglede, bomo lahko videli v prihodnje, ko bodo podeljeni prvi enotni patenti EU.

After more than thirty years of negotiations, the 25 Member States of the European Union, have reached a historic agreement on the patent field in February 2013. The last missing part of the EU Patent Package was accepted and signed - Agreement on unitary patent court - and the single EU patent have finally opened the floodgates. At the time as intellectual property is gaining in importance and the patents have increasing competitive and economic value, it seems that the signature of the Agreement is more important than ever. Unitary patent brings many advantages for businesses, particularly for small and medium-sized. It predicts a reduction of costs for 80%, simple procedures for acquisitions, more user-friendly language package and more manageable regulation of the legal field. The new patent system means new challenges for businesses, but experts warn that it is not always the one in a positive way. Increased number of patents means more opportunities to exploit the system and unethical business behavior. Particularly worrying are the so-called patent trolls and the exploitation of the legal system to their advantage - forum shopping. The European Union and the businesses that are operating within its borders will have to learn to operate in new circumstances, as the world is becoming more integrated and globalized. If the positive predictions of the European Union representatives come true, or those that are more pessimistic, we will see in the future, when the first single EU patent will be given.

▼ Desetletja gospodarskega zaostajanja Evropske unije (EU) za vodilnimi svetovnimi gospodarstvi, kot so Združene države Amerike (ZDA) in Japonska, so v ospredje političnih in ekonomskih razprav v EU postavili vprašanje, kako povečati produktivnost in gospodarsko rast. V magistrski nalogi smo se osredotočili na vlaganja v raziskave in razvoj kot dejavnik produktivnosti in gospodarske rasti. Skozi zgodovino ekonomske teorije najdemo več teoretičnih in empiričnih prispevkov različnih avtorjev, ki so proučevali povezanost vlaganj v raziskave in razvoj s produktivnostjo in gospodarsko rastjo. V skladu s tremi prevladujočimi smermi v sodobni teoriji rasti od sredine dvajsetega stoletja naprej smo v nalogi predstavili in izpeljali Solow-Swanov neoklasični model, ki pojasnjuje dolgoročno gospodarsko rast z eksogeno določenim tehnološkim napredkom. V skupini endogenih modelov gospodarske rasti, ki so poskušali tehnološki napredek endogenizirati, smo predstavili model učenja z delom in prelivanjem znanja, model z naraščajočo raznovrstnostjo proizvodov in model kakovostne lestvice. Stična točka predstavljenih modelov endogene rasti je, da pojmujejo novo znanje, ki se pojavlja v procesu proizvodnje preko učenja z delom, prelivanjem znanja, v procesu nastajanja novih tipov proizvodov, procesov, organizacije ipd. ali kakovostnih izboljšav le-teh, in je neločljivo povezano z dejavnostjo raziskav, razvoja in inovacij, kot pomemben dejavnik rasti produktivnosti oz. gospodarske rasti. Prispevki tretje usmeritve, ki smo jo predstavili v magistrski nalogi, za razliko od navedenih poudarjajo pomen neekonomskih dejavnikov za gospodarsko rast (npr. nova institucionalna ekonomika, koncept nacionalnih inovacijskih sistemov). Temelječ na predstavljenih teoretičnih izhodiščih EU namenja vlaganjem v raziskave in razvoj osrednje mesto v svojih ključnih strateških dokumentih. Cilj doseči vlaganja v raziskave in razvoj v obsegu 3 % BDP EU si je zastavila že v lizbonski strategiji v letu 2000 in ga kot osrednji cilj ohranila tudi v novi strategiji Evropa 2020 in vodilni pobudi Uniji inovacij. Vendar samo povečanje investicij v raziskave in razvoj še ne zagotavlja učinkovitosti raziskovalne dejavnosti. Pregled dosedanjega razvoja upravljanja raziskovalne dejavnosti od začetkov Evropske skupnosti v 50-ih letih prejšnjega stoletja, ko so se pričeli gospodarski in politični integracijski tokovi v Evropi, do danes, in pregled najpomembnejših strateških dokumentov, ki predvidevajo njen nadaljnji razvoj, je pokazal, da je vodenje skupne, učinkovite raziskovalne politike EU ključnega pomena za doseganje večje produktivnosti in gospodarske rasti. V tem okviru je EU dodelila posebno vlogo uresničevanju Evropskega raziskovalnega prostora, notranjega trga znanja in raziskav, ki vključuje vsa relevantna področja raziskovalne politike EU od vzpostavitve učinkovitih in povezanih nacionalnih raziskovalnih sistemov, skupnega usmerjanja in izvajanja raziskav za reševanje ključnih izzivov evropske družbe, odprtega trga dela za raziskovalce, izgradnje raziskovalne… Advisors/Committee Members: Strašek, Sebastjan.

Magistrsko delo obravnava problematiko načrtovanja vstopnih turističnih območij naselij, ki jih odlikuje bogata kulturna in grajena dediščina. Podrobno je obdelana zasnova vstopnega območja Štanjela. Vstopna območja turističnih naselij so namreč eno ključnih elementov turistične infrastrukture. Če niso oblikovana, to negativno vpliva na delovanje in razvoj naselij, ki so turistično zanimiva in obiskovana. Štanjel nima ustrezno vzpostavljenega vstopnega območja, kar otežuje uspešen razvoj turizma. Ob vznožju griča Turn je predlagana arhitekturna zasnova Kraškega parka z info centrom, ki želi vzpostaviti primerno vstopno območje kot del oživitve oziroma širitve Fabianijeve pešpoti. Vloga arhitekture je oblikovanje turističnega vstopnega območja, kjer bo turist lahko dobil vse potrebne in izčrpne informacije o tistem okolišu. Vstopno turistično območje je segment turistične infrastrukture, ki lahko prispeva pomemben delež pri ohranjanju kulturne krajine ter podpre gospodarski razvoj naselja oziroma občine.

Master thesis highlights the problem of planning an entrance for settlements with rich historic background that are frequently visited by tourists. It focuses on design of the entrance area of Štanjel. Entrance areas of these settlements are one of the key elements of infrastructure for tourism. If they are not designed properly it negatively affects its functioning and development. Štanjel does not have properly established entrance area which is not good for successful development of tourism. The location for architectural design of Karst park with info center is suggested at the foothill of Turn. Its purpose is establishing appropriate entrance area as a part of the revival and expansion of Fabiani’s path. The role of architecture is designing tourist entrance area where the visitor can receive all necessary information about the place. Tourist entrance area is a segment of tourist infrastructure that can contribute an important part of preservation of cultural landscape and support economic development of the settlement and municipality.

▼ The development and dissemination of computer-aided modelling tools in the last two decades have enabled architects to design with complex, often double curved, geometry. In order to convert these digital data sets into the physical reality, digital fabrication technology has become crucial and, in turn, has stimulated the field of architectural geometry. However, commonly used digital fabrication methods are still time- and material-inefficient in producing bespoke double curved surfaces, generating the need for alternative solutions. This thesis develops around a multi-robotic hot-wire cutting technique, that allows to significantly expand the set of possible hot-wire cutting geometries. In contrast to standard computer-controlled hot-wire cutting processes, in which the cutting medium remains straight, this technique modulates the curvature of the hot-wire, which adopts itself against the resistance of the processed material. This allows to produce a particular family of double-curved surface geometries: sweep surfaces defined by the motion of an altering profile curve along two guide curves. While the technique's principle is simple, its implications comprise to momentarily react and adapt to occurring forces, which dynamic change determine the overall form being cut. The aim of this thesis is to develop methods and techniques that allow to control this cutting technique and to foresee its outcome. Knowledge is acquired directly from the physical form-finding process and implemented in a respective digital model. The thesis investigates material- and fabrication process-related constraints, correlations between operating physical factors, such as heat input, cutting speeds, resulting cutting forces and wire shape. It develops and validates suitable design, simulation and fabrication techniques and examines possible architectural applications, such as the time-efficient production of formwork components at full architectural scale. The work is built upon the hypothesis that the integration of digital design and simulation techniques with adaptive control strategies can not only lead to efficient manufacturing procedures, but can also yield unique formal vocabularies in placing materiality as an a priori agent in the formulation of architectural building elements. As such, the thesis investigates topics that are generally relevant for digital fabrication processes with complex or non-linear behaviour and contributes to fabrication-aware design methods at large.

Energetska učinkovitost je način za zagotavljanje zmanjševanja emisij toplogrednih plinov, zmanjševanja odvisnosti od zunanjih uvoznikov olja in plina, torej povečevanja energetske varnosti in neodvisnosti ter način za zagotavljanje trajnosti in energetskih prihrankov. Energetsko učinkovitost v Evropski uniji neposredno urejajo predvsem štirje temeljni akti, ki pokrivajo vsak svoje temeljno področje. Direktiva 2012/27/EU o energetski učinkovitosti, ki jo spreminja Direktiva (EU) 2018/2002, kot krovna direktiva splošno ureja področje energetske učinkovitosti, Direktiva 2009/125/ES Ecodesign ureja energetsko učinkovitost produktov, Direktiva 2010/31/EU o energetski učinkovitosti stavb, ki jo spreminja Direktiva (EU) 2018/844, ureja energetsko učinkovitost stavb in skuša uresničiti velik energetski potencial na področju stavb. Uredba (EU) 2017/1369 o energetskem označevanju ureja obveznost označevanja energetske učinkovitosti pri različnih kategorijah produktov. Leta 2016 je Evropska komisija sprejela predlog zakonodajnega paketa − »Zimski paket« oziroma »Čista energija za vse Evropejce«. Namenjen je področju energetske zakonodaje, ki prinaša spremembe na že urejenih področjih energetske učinkovitosti stavb in energetske učinkovitosti. V okviru zakonodajnega paketa sta bili sprejeti Direktiva (EU) 2018/2002 o energetski učinkovitosti in Direktiva (EU) 2018/844 o energetski učinkovitosti stavb, poleg tega pa je bilo na novo urejeno področje upravljanja energetske unije s sprejemom Uredbe (EU) 2018/1999 o upravljanju energetske unije. Energijski paket ohranja, razširja in na novo postavlja ambicioznejše in dolgoročnejše cilje v zvezi s spremembami že obstoječe ureditve. Uredba o upravljanju energetske unije (2018/1999) na novo določa postopke poročanja, nadzora in postopek v primeru neskladnosti razvoja nacionalnih politik držav članic s krovnimi cilji energetske unije. Temeljno načelo energetske unije je »energetska učinkovitost na prvem mestu«. Slednji se pripisuje tolikšen pomen, da je v evropskem pravnem redu opredeljena kot svoj energetski vir. Cilj je predstaviti pomen in vsebino ureditve energetske učinkovitosti v Evropski uniji, sistematično predstaviti ukrepe, ki urejajo to področje, ter pomen, ki ga je energetska učinkovitost pridobila znotraj evropske agende po dekarbonizaciji.

Energy efficiency is a means for ensuring reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, reducing dependence on external oil and gas suppliers, i.e. increasing energy security and independence in a way to ensure sustainability and energy savings. Energy efficiency in the European Union is governed directly by four basic acts, each covering its own basic scope.

▼ Republika Slovenija je od leta 2004 z vstopom v Evropsko unijo upravičena do črpanja sredstev iz proračuna Evropske unije. Slovenija se pri črpanju sredstev iz Evropske unije srečuje s težavami, ker še vedno nima regij, temveč številne majhne, večinoma finančno šibke občine in regionalna središča, katerih razvoj je večinoma financiran s sredstvi iz državnega proračuna. Ker v Sloveniji še vedno nimamo regij, predstavljajo občine osnovne enote za izvajanje regionalnega razvoja države. Strokovna literatura navaja, da občine ne morejo bistveno vplivati na skladnejši regionalni oziroma gospodarski razvoj, saj kohezijska politika Evropske unije daje prednost večjim, regionalno usmerjenim projektom. V Sloveniji deluje 212 občin. Občine so po velikosti, številu prebivalcev in gospodarski moči zelo različne, zato je naloga države, da zagotovi tak sistem financiranja občin, ki bo omogočal njihovo učinkovitost in enakost pri izvajanju zakonsko določenih nalog. Občina predstavlja samostojno gospodarsko enoto. Če so občine gospodarsko in ekonomsko močnejše, lahko namenijo več proračunskih sredstev zadovoljevanju tistih javnih potreb, ki omogočajo višji življenjski standard prebivalcev. Z reformo lokalne samouprave je večina novonastalih občin videla uspešnejši gospodarski preboj svoje lokalne skupnosti v odcepitvi od matičnih občin. Vendar nove, finančno šibke občine (dobra polovica slovenskih občin ima manj kot 5000 prebivalcev), večinoma niso doprinesle k večjemu gospodarskemu razvoju regije, temveč prej k večji regionalni razdrobljenosti in zmanjšanju vloge lokalne samouprave. Ker sedanji sistem financiranja občin dodatno povečuje odvisnost od finančnih sredstev iz državnega proračuna in v večini slovenskih občin ne omogoča občinam finančne avtonomije, ki je osnova lokalne razvoja, so sredstva iz skladov Evropske unije velikega pomena za nadaljnji razvoj slovenskih regij. Čeprav imajo občine težave s pridobivanjem evropskih sredstev, so se prejeta transferna sredstva iz proračuna Evropske unije leta 2014 bistveno povečala. Evropski razvojni denar je tako postal drugi največji vir prihodka občinskih proračunov, saj občine več denarja zberejo le še z dohodnino. Tako so za Slovenijo evropska sredstva pomemben dolgoročni dejavnik gospodarskega in družbenega razvoja. Čeprav financiranje projektov iz skladov Evropske unije le dopolnjuje nacionalne politike razvoja, predstavljajo evropska sredstva dodatna vrednost projektom, velikokrat pa so celo nujna za njihovo izvedbo, kar se še bolj odraža v času gospodarske in finančne krize. V času povečane obremenjenosti javnih financ, neustreznega financiranja lokalne samouprave, sredstva iz skladov EU zagotavljajo pomemben prispevek pri izvajanju razvojnih funkcij države. Glavni namen naloge je ob proučitvi aktualnega financiranja lokalnih skupnosti in problematiki zadolževanja občin na primeru Pomurske statistične regije ugotoviti ali bi Republika Slovenija lahko pridobila več sredstev iz proračuna EU, če ne bi bila razdrobljena na 212 občin, ker bi bile večje občine učinkovitejše pri… Advisors/Committee Members: Korpič Horvat, Etelka.

Varstvo človekovih pravic je v Evropi prepuščeno dvema organizacijama, to sta Svet Evrope, kot že od nekdaj ključni akter na področju človekovih pravic ter Evropska unija, ki na začetku svojega obstoja človekovim pravicam ni naklanjala posebne pozornosti, saj je bil prvotni smisel integriranja v njenem okviru predvsem gospodarski, temu pa je drugače danes, saj varstvu človekovih pravic daje vse več pomena. Naloga magistrskega dela je bila predvsem predstaviti vse vidike varstva človekovih pravic s strani obeh organizacij ter razmerje pristojnosti med njima. Vsaka od teh organizacij ima svoj dokument človekovih pravic, to sta Evropska konvencija o človekovih pravicah ter Listina EU o temeljnih pravicah, pri čemer se pravice, ki so v dokumentih zapisane bolj ali manj prekrivajo. Prav tako pod okriljem vsake organizacije deluje lastno sodišče, in sicer Evropsko sodišče za človekove pravice pod okriljem Sveta Evrope in Sodišče Evropske unije pod okriljem Evropske unije. V preteklosti sta ti najpomembnejši evropski sodišči delovali eno mimo drugega. Medtem ko se je ESČP vse bolj uveljavljalo kot najpomembnejši varuh človekovih pravic v Evropi, je luksemburško sodišče stremelo h kontinuirani graditvi Evropske unije, še zlasti na ekonomskem področju. Pozneje se je Sodišče EU v vse večji meri začelo ukvarjati tudi s človekovimi pravicami in sprejeti so bili akti, na podlagi katerih tudi EU zagotavlja njihovo varstvo. Ker se je zavedanje o pomembnosti varstva pravic tudi znotraj EU začelo vse večati, so se začele pojavljati ideje o pristopu EU k Evropski konvenciji o človekovih pravicah. Ideja se je začela uresničevati z Lizbonsko pogodbo, ki je določila pravno podlago za možnost priključitve in pristop omogočila. Kmalu po njenem sprejemu so se začela med Svetom Evrope in EU pogajanja, ki so pripeljala do sporazuma in osnovan je bil osnutek pogodbe o pristopu. Ko je SEU odločalo o njegovi skladnosti s Pogodbama, je ugotovilo nezdružljivost s pravom EU in pristop je bil začasno odložen. Ker pa omenjen pristop v skladu s Pogodbo o Evropski Uniji za EU ni samo možnost, temveč obveza, se bodo pogajanja v prihodnosti morala zaključiti v obliki, ki bo skladen s pravom EU in bo upošteval posebno naravo njenega pravnega reda. Na podlagi tega EU ne bo imela popolnoma enakega položaja kot ga imajo druge države podpisnice, saj je bil namreč Svet Evrope doslej le zveza držav. S tem, ko bi naj h Konvenciji pristopila nadnacionalna sui generis organizacija, se je odprlo specifično pravnopolitično vprašanje, na katerega bo uspešno odgovorjeno takrat, ko bo dorečen način, na podlagi katerega bo v Evropi prišlo do okrepljenega, skladnega ter kar je najpomembneje, učinkovitega varstva človekovih pravic. Magistrsko delo obravnava zgoraj opisano, pri čemer je vsako poglavje bilo poskušano obravnavati v luči učinkovitega varstva pravic, saj pravica per se brez, da bi stanju de iure sledila ustrezna realizacija v praksi, kot vemo, ne bi imela pomena.

▼ Quantum optics, the study of light at the level of its building blocks, has been one of the frontiers of science. The arena of quantum optics has been fruitful for investigations of a wide range of interesting questions, from those on the fundamental structures in driven dissipative systems to those on applications of quantum information processing and quantum communication. The first part of this thesis is concerned with one of the holy grails of quantum optics: an efficient transfer of energy (coupling) between single photons and matter degrees of freedom. From a certain point of view, the problem of efficient coupling is purely geometrical. The efficiency of coupling between an atom and light is difficult because it is difficult to shape the wavefunction of a single photon such that it overlaps perfectly with the matter degree of freedom (emitter). The first contribution of this thesis is addressing this issue by considering an emitter which perfectly matches the single photon plane-wave. Moreover, luckily, such an emitter is already realized in nature in the form of a two-dimensional crystal. We show that a new generation of two-dimensional semiconductors, transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) monolayers, have especially favorable characteristics for allowing highly efficient coupling between photons and matter degrees of freedom. One of the most important goals in realizing an efficient coupling between photons and matter degrees of freedom is that unlike photons, matter excitations interact with each other. Hence, if we would like to have photons which act as if they interact, one possible way is to first convert them into matter excitations, and then transfer the correlations due matter interactions back to photons. As the second contribution of this thesis, we demonstrate that TMD monolayers placed within a cavity can help us create photons which avoid each other as if they interact. The effect can be simply understood as the TMD monolayer acting as a filter for photons, such that it only allows the passage of one photon at a time. Besides being the fundamental building block of light, photons also serve as mediators of interactions between charged particles. In a sense, two positive charges repel each other because there is always a photon which lets them know that they are close to one another. On the other hand, systems of many interacting particles behave in a completely different way then when they are alone. It may even be argued that all physical phenomena at some level emerge from the behavior of many interacting constituents. Given this point of view, it is crucial to find ways to control photons in order to control the interactions that they mediate between matter degrees of freedom. As the third contribution of this thesis, we analyze an experimental scheme where the control of photonic degrees of freedom can allow an experimentalist to modify the strength and range of interactions between matter. In particular, we propose squeezed photon states as a… Advisors/Committee Members: Imamoglu, Atac, Huber, Sebastian, id_orcid0000-0003-3558-351X.

▼ Intracranial or cerebral aneurysm is a ballooning of the vessel wall due to a pathological remodeling specific to intracranial vessels feeding the cerebrum. In 2-3% of the cases, the outpouching may rupture and allow blood to leak into the surrounding tissues, and potentially massively increase the intracranial pressure and reduce or interrupt brain perfusion. On average, 10% of aneurysm rupture patients die before receiving medical attention, 25% in the first 24 hours and another 25% within six months due to related complications. Not the least because of the high mortality rate connected to aneurysm rupture, a comprehensive understanding of this serious disease is urgently needed. Thanks to recent advancements in imaging technologies, cerebral aneurysms are being detected more regularly, often as a secondary diagnosis in clinical examinations. However, as a result, physicians are challenged, as they are forced to make decisions on the further course of treatment while taking into account various factors such as small rupture rates, treatment risks, high financial costs, and the psychological effects, e.g., anxiety, depression on the patients. Historically, aneurysm rupture risk is usually assessed through simple geometric scores, i.e., aneurysm size and location (aspect ratio and shape have been suggested by not yet validated in a good clinical setting). Yet, due to the availability of high-contrast imaging technologies that provide spatially resolved information about, e.g., the status of the vessel wall, the focus of rupture risk assessment is gradually shifting to the patient-specific characterization of the aneurysm wall and its exposure to the hemodynamic environment. Mechanobiological modeling (mathematical and computational) of mechanical wall-exposure and ensuing tissue remodeling can assist image-based evaluation of aneurysm stability and increase the mechanistic understanding of disease inception and evolution, and thus play an important role in both diagnosis and investigative. This thesis provides an integrated, comprehensive framework for aneurysm disease characterization and evolution modeling which covers all the steps from image-based creation of patient-specific aneurysm and vasculature models, to morphological shape-analyses, fluid dynamical exposure assessment, biomechanical wall modeling, and (sub)cellular wall constituents-based disease growth and remodeling simulation. The implementation of the disease evolution model - driving flow and wall-exposure metrics, biomechanical wall characteristics, and wall constituent evolution - can be easily adapted, by modifying corresponding formulas in a Python script, to provide researchers with a powerful tool to explore hypotheses on disease inception and evolution. The framework is unique, as the simulation of flow, growth, and remodeling of intracranial aneurysms is enabled, with realistic modeling of (i) flow boundary conditions; (ii) personalized vascular geometries; (iii) inhomogeneous processes in and properties of the vascular wall; (iv)… Advisors/Committee Members: Huang, Qiuting, Kuster, Niels, Kurtcuoglu, Vartan.

▼ The awareness of the limited availability of fossil fuels and of their negative impact on the global environment is increasing. A transition towards a sustainable energy generation from renewable sources is of paramount importance but challenges the operation of the distribution grid. Among others, the distributed generation results in undesirable voltage fluctuations in distribution grids. As an alternative to conventional costly and tedious grid reinforcements, active grid voltage control has recently gained attention to ensure a high power quality in the presence of a high share of renewable generation. A significant enhancement of the grid controllability is possible with hybrid transformers, which combine a conventional low-frequency transformer with a fractionally rated power electronic converter. Since the major part of the power is transferred through the low-frequency transformer, the hybrid transformer concept utilizes the high efficiency, the high reliability and the low cost of conventional low-frequency transformers. By integrating a conventional transformer and a converter into one single system, the overall system complexity, cost and volume can be reduced. This thesis examines hybrid transformers from different perspectives to provide a comprehensive picture of their functionalities, protection requirements, performance and limitations. The focus is on hybrid transformers interconnecting the 20 kV and the 400V grids. Today's grid is a hostile environment for power electronic converters. Hence, a protection concept is of decisive importance for the reliable operation of hybrid transformers. In this thesis, protection requirements for hybrid transformers are derived from realistic fault scenarios and, where possible, from the standards for low-frequency transformers IEC 60076. A protection concept was developed, implemented and tested experimentally for a 100 kVA prototype. The converter protection was found to have a major impact on the design and the performance of the converter. However, the protection concept increases losses and volume of the complete hybrid transformer system only insignificantly due to the fractional converter rating. A converter optimization procedure is developed in this thesis to derive the theoretically achievable performance of the power electronic converter and of the total hybrid transformer. For the considered 100 kVA hybrid transformer with a control range of 10% of the voltage, active and reactive power, a full load efficiency of ηHT = 98.48% is possible. This is only 0.16 percent points lower than the assumed full load efficiency of the conventional transformer of ηLFT = 98.64%. The control system is an essential part of the hybrid transformer to allow the precise adjustment of grid voltages and currents while ensuring a safe converter operation. This thesis presents the overall hybrid transformer control structure and investigates a control concept which is generally applicable to three-phase inverters with parallel phase-legs.

▼ Chlorinated paraffins (CPs) are industrial chemicals widely applied as plasticizers, flame retardants and additives in metal working fluids. CPs are produced by nonspecific chlorination of it{n}-alkane mixtures. Therefore, they are a complex class of compounds of tens of thousands of different isomers. CPs can differ in carbon chain length (C10-C30) and degree of chlorination (30-70 m/m%Cl}). They are categorized according to their chain length into short-chain (SCCPs, C10-C13), medium-chain (MCCPs, C14-C17) and long-chain CPs (LCCPs, C≥18). CPs are high production volume chemicals (>1000000 t/a) of emerging environmental concern. SCCPs are persistent, bioaccumulative, subject to long-range transport and toxic. In 2017, SCCPs have been listed as persistent organic pollutants (POPs) under the United Nations Stockholm Convention. Due to their complexity, the analysis of CPs is challenging. Several issues are associated with CP analysis, including (a) chromatographic co-elution of the many isomers, (b) unknown composition of CP standard materials, and (c) broad and complex isotopic clusters often resulting in interfered mass spectra. These issues get worse in presence of CP transformation products. Up to now, CP research mainly focused on reporting SCCP levels in different matrices. Only few studies dealt with their environmental toxicity and the identification of transformation pathways and products. Even fewer studies, reported respective data for MCCPs. Almost no studies are available for LCCPs. Risk assessments and discussions about the regulation of CPs are impeded by the many analytical uncertainties and, hence, the lack of robust data. It is crucial that analytical issues are addressed and solved, and comprehensive data about the fate of CP is generated. The focus of this thesis is on the development of new analytical methods to investigate CPs and potential transformation pathways and transformation products. CPs are considered persistent in the environment and, hence, their abiotic and biotic transformation is slow. This thesis considered thermal exposure during the application of CPs as an important transformation pathway and this subject was herein investigated. In the first part of this thesis, thermal transformation products of CPs were identified by mass spectrometric (MS) analysis using thermally aged chlorinated tridecane mixtures. Direct liquid injection coupled to chloride-enhanced atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) was the method of choice. This method forces the formation of pseudo-molecular chloride-adduct ions without fragmentation and, therefore, is highly suited to investigate CPs and their transformation, when applied in full scan mode. It was found that thermal exposure of CPs causes the elimination of HCl, resulting in chlorinated olefins (COs) with one or more double bonds. Isotope clusters of CP and CO isomers of the same chain length and degree of chlorination strongly interfere even at a moderately high mass resolution of R≈10000. This so called CP/CO problem was… Advisors/Committee Members: McNeill, Kristopher, id_orcid0000-0002-2981-2227, Heeb, Norbert, Schäffer, Andreas.

▼ This thesis contributes to our understanding of the strategies and features necessary to build and maintain trust in digital health. Myriad experts foresee digital health technologies as a solution to alleviate the demands on contemporary health systems. Yet, these technologies introduce many ethical challenges, one of which is trust. Besides altering the status quo in physician-patient relationships, plenty of evidence suggests that certain digital health technologies may be unreliable or even promote detrimental behaviors. Moreover, these technologies remain increasingly susceptible to malicious actors; while a number of developers and implementers continue to act negligently. As a result, the perceived risks of digital health continue to grow and thus deteriorate trust. Since trust is imperative to the proper functioning of health systems, it is necessary to determine how to assess the trustworthiness of digital health technologies. The thesis employs both empirical and theoretical methods. The first chapter offers an introductory analysis of digital health and trust in relation to this rapidly expanding form of medical technology. Chapter 2 discusses the major ethical issues posed by digital health in a global as well as in the Swiss context. Through a scoping review of the literature, Chapter 3 identifies the facilitators and inhibitors to trust in digital health as well as the main stakeholders. Meanwhile, since precision medicine relies on diverse datasets that may be obtained from digital health technologies, Chapter 4, stipulates some requirements for trust in precision medicine. Through focus group discussions, Chapter 5 identifies trust-related expectations with respect to mobile health apps, and translates such findings into a trustworthiness checklist. In Chapter 6, the checklist is validated by relevant stakeholders via an online survey. Finally, chapter 7 discusses the overall findings of this thesis, compares it to existing research, and determines its implications Advisors/Committee Members: Vayena, Effy, id_orcid0000-0003-1303-5467, Karlen, Walter, Blasimme, Alessandro, id_orcid0000-0001-5908-2002.

▼ University-based research centers today form an integral part of the global research landscape. Due to their versatility, they have become a popular instrument of strategic research policy over the past few decades. At the same time, the growing demand for accountability has moved research centers along with universities into the focus of evaluation and impact assessment. The most widely used evaluation approaches in the university context, however, fall short in the case of inter- and transdisciplinary research centers as they do not adequately take into account some of their characteristic features. In view of the current academic reward system, which stresses disciplinary productivity, this shortcoming has far-reaching implications for the reputation of inter- and transdisciplinary research and the willingness of individual researchers to engage in corresponding research centers. Against this background, this dissertation aims to contribute to a better understanding of research centers, their impact potential, and the methodological challenges associated with their evaluation. Conceived as a cumulative dissertation, three journal articles constitute the main body of the work. The case study is a research center in the field of sustainability science, the Competence Center Environment and Sustainability (CCES) of the ETH Domain in Switzerland. The dissertation is largely based on archival data from the research center under scrutiny, bibliometric data, and expert interviews. The quantitative data were analyzed, inter alia, within the framework of a quasi-experimental research design. Statistical analyses were carried out using different methods, including multiple regression, multi-level analysis, and growth curve modeling. The dissertation comes to the conclusion that a comprehensive evaluation of research centers requires methodological triangulation. While quantitative evaluation approaches can shed light on key aspects, their results have to be interpreted in a wider context, including qualitative evidence. Research centers can contribute to a cultural change in the academic reward system by mobilizing a critical mass of researchers. Finally, the dissertation provides empirical evidence suggesting that engagement in research centers does not have a negative impact on the research productivity of individuals and their groups. On the basis of its main findings, the dissertation discusses recommendations that aim at improving evaluation practice in the context of inter- and transdisciplinary research centers and beyond.

▼ The current cosmological concordance model, ΛCDM, is very successful at describing the statistical properties of the Universe and its evolution with cosmic time at both low and high redshifts. However, two major ingredients of ΛCDM, cold dark matter (CDM) and dark energy (Λ), are only phenomenologically motivated and cosmologists lacks deeper understanding of their origins. Therefore, investigating the physical nature of this dark sector of the ΛCDM model is one of the most pressing issues in modern cosmology and multiple major observational programs aimed at investigating the dark components of ΛCDM are either on the way or already in operation. At low redshifts, three major wide-field surveys, the Kilo-Degree Survey (KiDS), the Dark Energy Survey (DES) and the Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) survey, have recently published updated cosmology constraints. They all rely on cosmic shear, the weak gravitational lensing by large-scale structures, as a powerful probe of both the expansion history of the Universe and the growth of structures. While cosmic shear has great potential to shine light on the dark sector of ΛCDM, the effect is challenging to measure and prone to systematic effects. Therefore, Refregier & Amara (2014, DOI: 10.1016/j.dark.2014.01.002) proposed the Monte-Carlo Control Loops (MCCL) framework. This method employs large amounts of forward simulations to quantify the systematic uncertainty of cosmic shear measurements and propagate it through the analysis in a probabilistic way. In this thesis, we develop methods for measuring cosmology with cosmic shear based on the MCCL framework. We first implement and test a forward-modeling approach to measuring the redshift distribution n(z) of typical weak lensing samples. To this end, we devise an empirical model of the intrinsic galaxy population based on redshift-dependent luminosity functions. We then use Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC) to adjust our simulations to survey data in a Bayesian framework. This yields a family of likely posterior n(z) curves which quantifies the uncertainty of the measurement. Moreover, we develop a method for fast point spread function (PSF) estimation and modeling based on Deep Learning, specifically a convolutional neural network (CNN). Once trained, the computational speed of this algorithm allows it to be used within the MCCL framework to analyze large volumes of synthetic data. Based on the methods described above, we next present the first end-to-end application of the MCCL framework to survey data. In a non-tomographic setup, we constrain cosmology with cosmic shear using the DES Year (Y1) data. The core of our method is the joint measurement of the shear 2-point function and the associated redshift distribution. By simulating the full survey footprint numerous times, we quantify the systematic uncertainty of our analysis and are furthermore able to disentangle statistical and systematic errors. Building on this achievement, we implement a tomographic shear pipeline for the DES Year 3 (Y3) data. We classify… Advisors/Committee Members: Refregier, Alexandre, Amara, Adam, Kuijken, Koenraad.

▼ Mountainous landscapes reflect the competition between denudation, uplift, and climate, which produce, modify, and destroy relief and topography. Bedrock rivers are dynamic topographic features and a critical link between these processes, as they record and convey changes in tectonics, climate, and sea level across the landscape. River incision models, such as the stream power model, are often used to quantify the relationship between topography and rock motion in the context of landscapes at steady state. At steady state, the stream power model predicts higher denudation rates for steeper river channels, while accounting for only the vertical motion of rock due to rock uplift or denudation. However, natural landscapes often have more complicated histories, particularly in convergent orogens with asymmetric topography, where steady state requires that denudation must balance both vertical and horizontal rock motion. This thesis addresses this central issue by comparing the spatial and temporal pattern of denudation with metrics of topographic steepness in the Northern Apennine Mountains of Italy, a young and active orogen with asymmetric topography. New and existing catchment-averaged denudation rates from cosmogenic 10Be concentrations demonstrate that the steeper flank of the Northern Apennines is eroding more slowly than the gentler flank. Long-term denudation rates inverted from low-temperature thermochronometers show that this pattern of denudation across the orogen is long-lived, since at the least 3—5 Ma, and that denudation rates have decreased on the Ligurian side through time. The apparent decoupling between denudation rates and topography is resolved with a kinematic model of the orogenic wedge that accounts for the full vertical and horizontal rock velocity field. This model reconciles the 10Be concentrations, geomorphic observations, and geodetic rates of rock motion with the topography of the Northern Apennines, and provides new estimates for slab retreat rates consistent with recent estimates from tomography, surface geology, and morphology. This thesis also explores the partitioning of denudation into physical erosion and chemical weathering in the Northern Apennines. Chemical weathering in particular is an important control on landscape evolution and the global CO2 budget. Most studies have focused on weathering in orogens comprised of silicate-rich lithologies, which can remove CO2 from the atmosphere over geologic timescales, whereas carbonate weathering is generally considered to be CO2 neutral. However, even in silicate-rich landscapes, carbonate weathering dominates total solute fluxes. Recently uplifted orogens in particular are often characterized by carbonate-rich, marine sedimentary sequences, so the global weathering flux of carbon and calcium to the oceans should be more strongly influenced by these orogens. However, the partitioning of denudation fluxes remains largely unexplored in mixed lithology orogens, so, it is unclear whether the same processes that control erosion and… Advisors/Committee Members: Willett, Sean, Picotti, Vincenzo, Gallen, Sean F., Pazzaglia, Frank J..

▼ The solutions to many problems in information theory can be expressed using Shannon’s information measures such as entropy, relative entropy, and mutual information. Other problems—for example source coding with exponential cost functions, guessing, and task encoding—require Rényi’s information measures, which generalize Shannon’s. The contributions of this thesis are as follows: new problems related to guessing, task encoding, hypothesis testing, and horse betting are solved; and two new Rényi measures of dependence and a new conditional Rényi divergence appearing in these problems are analyzed. The two closely related families of Rényi measures of dependence are studied in detail, and it is shown that they share many properties with Shannon’s mutual information, but the data-processing inequality is only satisfied by one of them. The dependence measures are based on the Rényi divergence and the relative α-entropy, respectively. The new conditional Rényi divergence is compared with the conditional Rényi divergences that appear in the definitions of the dependence measures by Csiszár and Sibson, and the properties of all three are studied with emphasis on their behavior under data processing. In the same way that Csiszár’s and Sibson’s conditional divergence lead to the respective dependence measures, so does the new conditional divergence lead to the first of the new Rényi dependence measures. Moreover, the new conditional divergence is also related to Arimoto’s measures. The first solved problem is about guessing with distributed encoders: Two dependent sequences are described separately and, based on their descriptions, have to be determined by a guesser. The description rates are characterized for which the expected number of guesses until correct (or, more generally, its ρ-th moment for some positive ρ) can be driven to one as the length of the sequences tends to infinity. The characterization involves the Rényi entropy and the Arimoto–Rényi conditional entropy. The related second problem is about distributed task encoding: Two dependent sequences are described separately, and a decoder produces a list of all the sequence pairs that share the given descriptions. The description rates are characterized for which the expected size of this list (or, more generally, its ρ-th moment for some positive ρ) can be driven to one as the length of the sequences tends to infinity. The characterization involves the Rényi entropy and the second of the new Rényi dependence measures. The third problem is about a hypothesis testing setup where the observation consists of independent and identically distributed samples from either a known joint probability distribution or an unknown product distribution. The achievable error-exponent pairs are established and the Fenchel biconjugate of the error-exponent function is related to the first of the new Rényi dependence measures. Moreover, an example is provided where the error-exponent function is not convex and thus not equal to its Fenchel biconjugate. The fourth… Advisors/Committee Members: Lapidoth, Amos, Sason, Igal.

▼ Most humans are born with a fundamental motivation to socialize with others. A lack of meaningful social ties, therefore, can be detrimental for an individual’s mental health. At the same time, an individual’s mental health can affect how and which social ties are created and maintained. Thus, the association between social networks (i.e., the collection of social ties) and mental health is bidirectional. In the worst case, this bidirectionality can turn into a vicious cycle, in which (the lack of) social ties and (poor) mental health affect each other in reinforcing feedback loops. This thesis presents four studies that aim to disentangle the bidirectional association between social networks and mental health by investigating social mechanisms on the level of friendship and social interaction ties. This disentanglement is not trivial, because, so far, theoretical and empirical endeavors have mostly been concerned with one direction of the vicious cycle only or have neglected the dynamic nature of these constructs. In order to overcome these challenges, this thesis introduces a new theoretical model and, throughout its four empirical studies, applies novel methodologies to acquire a better understanding of the bidirectional and dynamic nature of social networks and mental health. In the first study, we investigate how the mental-health-related mechanisms of perceived social integration, social influence, and social selection operate on the friendship networks of a graduate housing community. We show that individuals’ mental health strongly affects the formation of friendship ties (social selection), while the alternative directionality (perceived social integration and social influence) has no significant effect. Based on these findings, a reasonable next step is to understand in more detail how mental health affects the smallest building blocks of social life: social interactions. However, face-to-face social interactions are difficult to describe and measure, and many technological solutions for collecting data have not yet been validated. Thus, in a second study, we apply newly developed RFID badges that capture how individuals interact with one another, and we examine their validity by comparing their measures with video data and self-reports. We show that the RFID badges are moderately valid to measure face-to-face social interaction. We further discuss how the accuracy of this measurement can be improved with simple data processing strategies. In the third study, we apply these RFID badges to investigate how social interaction networks captured during a socializing weekend are affected by individuals’ depressive symptoms. This way, we examine social selection mechanisms on a fine-grained interaction level. We find that depressive symptoms are associated with (1) spending less time in social interactions, (2) spending time with others reporting similar levels of depression, and (3) spending time in pair-wise interactions as opposed to groups. These interaction-level results help us to better understand the… Advisors/Committee Members: Stadtfeld, Christoph, Brandes, Ulrik, id_orcid0000-0002-1520-0430, van Zalk, Maarten.
