  1. 1. No alternatives : The end of ideology in the 1950s and the post-political world of the 1990s

    Författare :Daniel Strand; Bosse Holmqvist; Mats Hallenberg; Howard Brick; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; intellectual history; political theory; philosophy of history; ideology; end of ideology; post-politics; modernization theory; Cold War; anticommunism; 1950s; 1990s; idéhistoria; History of Ideas;

    Sammanfattning : In the 1950s, scholars in Europe and the United States announced the end of political ideology in the West. With the rise of affluent welfare states, they argued, ideological movements which sought to overthrow prevailing liberal democracy would disappear. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Alternatives to pickling : preparation of carbon and low alloyed steel wire rod

    Författare :Peter Gillström; Magnus Jarl; Sven-Erik Lundberg; Tarras Wanheim; Örebro universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Mechanical descaling; shot blasting; pickling; steel wire rod; wear; drawing; Mechanical engineering; Maskinteknik; Maskinteknik; Mechanical Engineering;

    Sammanfattning : A well established method for scale removal on hot rolled wire rod is pickling. To avoid pollution problems, the wire rod can be mechanically descaled. By this method, the removed scale can be recirculated to the blast furnace. In batch pickling considerable energy is necessary; e. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Norms and Alternatives : Logical Aspects of Normative Reasoning

    Författare :Karl Nygren; Valentin Goranko; Dag Westerståhl; Ivano Ciardelli; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; alternative semantics; norms; normative systems; deontic logic; modal logic; inquisitive semantics; inquisitive logic; semantics of questions; disjunction; free choice; obligation; permission; action; normative reasoning; ignorance; axiomatic system; completeness; Philosophy; filosofi;

    Sammanfattning : In this thesis, I develop and investigate various novel semantic frameworks for deontic logic. Deontic logic concerns the logical aspects of normative reasoning. In particular, it concerns reasoning about what is required, allowed and forbidden. I focus on two main issues: free-choice reasoning and the role of norms in deontic logic. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Objects and objectivity : Alternatives to mathematical realism

    Författare :Ebba Gullberg; Sten Lindström; John Cantwell; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Philosophy of mathematics; mathematical realism; ontological realism; semantic realism; platonism; the semantic argument; the indispensability argument; the non-uniqueness problem; Benacerraf s dilemma; the irrelevance challenge; Field; Carnap; Balaguer; Yablo; the internal external distinction; fictionalism; Theoretical philosophy; Teoretisk filosofi; Theoretical Philosophy; teoretisk filosofi;

    Sammanfattning : This dissertation is centered around a set of apparently conflicting intuitions that we may have about mathematics. On the one hand, we are inclined to believe that the theorems of mathematics are true. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Improving alternatives assessment of plastic additives : exploring in silico tools to identify less hazardous flame retardants

    Författare :Ziye Zheng; Patrik L. Andersson; Hans Peter Arp; Gregory Peters; Gerrit Schüürmann; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Chemical alternatives assessment; plastic additives; flame retardants; hazard; emission; in silico; modeling; quantitative structure-activity relationship QSAR ; multi-criteria decision analysis MCDA ; environmental science; miljövetenskap; organisk kemi; Organic Chemistry; ekotoxikologi; Ecotoxicology; Toxicology; toxikologi;

    Sammanfattning : Alternatives assessment is applied for replacing hazardous chemicals with viable, safer substitutes. High quality experimental hazard data, however, are usually unavailable for this purpose, and obtaining in silico data is the only approach to fill in data gaps. LÄS MER
