1. 11. Pierced, Wrapped and Torn : Aspects of String Theory Compactifications

   Författare :Magdalena Larfors; Ulf Danielsson; Gary Shiu; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mathematical physics; Matematisk fysik; Theoretical Physics; teoretisk fysik;

   Sammanfattning : An outstanding problem in physics is to find a unified framework for quantum mechanics and general relativity. This is required for a better understanding of black holes and the early cosmology of the universe. String theory provides such a unification. In this thesis, we study aspects of compactifications of type IIB string theory. LÄS MER

3. 12. The efficacy of sacrifice : correspondences in the Ŗgvedic Brāhmaņas

   Författare :Clemens Cavallin; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Sacrifice; Veda; brahmana; efficacy; ritual; ontology; metaphysics; breath; correspondence; nominal sentence; identification;

   Sammanfattning : Sacrifice is a major topic in the study of religious rituals, and one of the issues debated is its possible efficacy. In this study, the need for multiple approaches is acknowledged, but the focus is on the world-view in which a sacrificial practice is embedded, and more specifically on the basic ontological questions that are of importance for it.

4. 13. Samtal med den värdefulla naturen : Ett studium av miljöetiken hos Knud Lõgstrup, Holmes Rolston III och Hans Jonas

   Författare :Staffan Kvassman; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Religion; Anthropocentrism; biocentrism; instrumental value; intrinsic value; value nihilism; objective value; correspondence theory; moral realism; absolute human dignity; deductive knowledge; inductive knowledge; cosmophenomenology; science; creation theology; sensation; disposition; appealing nature; interplay; Religionsvetenskap Teologi; Religion Theology; Religionsvetenskap Teologi; etik; Ethics;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis has three aims. One aim is to explain and analyse the environmental ethics of Rolston, Jonas and Lögstrup. A second aim is to compare and criticize their environmental ethics. A third aim is to put forward a personal proposal for an acceptable formulation of a weakly biocentrical environmental ethic.

5. 14. The World-Class Ordination : A Field Theory Approach to the Study of Global University Rankings

   Författare :Pablo Antonio Lillo Cea; Mikael Börjesson; Emil Bertilsson; Yves Gingras; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; sociology of education; globalisation; field theory; universities; higher education; rankings; Utbildningssociologi; Sociology of Education;

   Sammanfattning : Using Pierre Bourdieu’s field theory, this thesis explores the idea of a “world-class university” by analysing the narratives and dynamics that shape this classification in the context of global university rankings. It uses a combination of methods, including historical studies, bibliometrics, multiple correspondence analysis, and social network analysis to examine the socio-historical factors determining world-class status in higher education.

7. 15. Holographic Wilson Loops : Quantum String Corrections

   Författare :Daniel Ricardo Medina Rincon; Konstantin Zarembo; Gianluca Grignani​; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Gauge-string correspondence; AdS CFT; Wilson loops; String theory; Theoretical Physics; Teoretisk fysik;

   Sammanfattning : The gauge-string duality has been one of the most exciting areas in theoretical physics as it connects strongly coupled field theories with weakly interacting strings. The present thesis concerns the study of Wilson loops in this correspondence. LÄS MER
