    Sammanfattning : This dissertation is a study of John Buridan's (c.1300-c.1361) conception of modalities. Modal concepts - concepts of necessity, possibility, impossibility, and contingency - describe the ways in which things could and could not be otherwise. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Navigating Sustainability Transformations: Backcasting, transdisciplinarity and social learning

    Författare :Johan Holmén; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; backcasting; transformations; systems change; social learning; Education for Sustainable Development ESD ; Sustainability; transitions; reflexive governance; transdisciplinarity;

    Sammanfattning : Complex and persistent sustainability challenges necessitate transformations into futures that are fundamentally different to what was before. Such change processes cannot be planned in traditional ways; they require reflexive modes of governing where we collectively learn how to navigate uncharted terrain while exploring it. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Temporal information in natural language

    Författare :Magnus Merkel; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Talspråk;

    Sammanfattning : The subject of this thesis is temporal information; how it is expressed and conveyed in natural language. When faced with the task of processing temporal information in natural language computationally, a number of challenges has to be met. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Bias-adjusted analysis of global natural disaster records and an assessment of seismic hazard in Sweden

    Författare :Niranjan Joshi; Roland Roberts; Ari Tryggvason; Björn Lund; Kuvvet Atakan; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Power-law; Natural-disasters; Seismic-hazard assessment.;

    Sammanfattning : Natural disasters pose significant challenges today and demand efficient allocation of society’s limited resources for disaster risk reduction. This relies on analysis of natural disaster records, which are prone to (reporting) biases that can affect the inferences drawn from their analysis. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Managing knowledge sharing of extreme weather induced impacts on land transport infrastructure : Case study of the Swedish Transport Administration

    Författare :Monika Rydstedt Nyman; Lars Nyberg; Magnus Johansson; Eva Liljegren; Peter Söderholm; Karlstads universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; lessons learned; risk management; climate change adaptation; accident investigation method; extreme weather events; natural hazard; land transport infrastructure; maintenance; lärande; kunskapsåterföring; risk hantering; klimatanpassning; olycksutredningsmetod; naturolyckor; landtransport infrastruktur; underhåll; Risk and Environmental Studies; Risk- och Miljöstudier;

    Sammanfattning : Extreme weather events and effects of climate change are threats to the transport sector’s functionality and safety. Risk management in this context implies a necessity to focus on the connection between near-term experiences and coping strategies on one hand, and long-term adaptation analyses on the other. LÄS MER
