  1. 1. Belief & Desire : The Standard Model of Intentional Action — Critique and Defence

    Författare :Björn Petersson; Praktisk filosofi; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; ethics; Systematic philosophy; Michael Smith; David Hume; Donald Davidson; akrasia; 2nd order desires; reasons; understandings; intention; propositional content; tendency; desire; disposition; belief-desire model; motivation; aesthetics; metaphysics; epistemology; ideology; Praktisk filosofi; estetik; metafysik; kunskapsteori; ideologi;

    Sammanfattning : The scheme of concepts we employ in daily life to explain intentional behaviour form a belief-desire model (BD model), in which motivating states are sorted into two suitably broad categories. The BD model embeds a philosophy of action, i.e. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Modeling of a Retrodirective Channel With Active Antenna Arrays for Cross-Eye Jamming

    Författare :Björn Petersson; Martin Norgren; Warren P. du Plessis; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; electronic warfare; antenna array; antenna system; radar countermeasures; jamming; cross-eye; systems modeling; system performance; systems simulation; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

    Sammanfattning : Cross-Eye (CE) jamming is a technique aimed at inducing false target angles in radar measurements. The potential to deceive monopulse radar, a radar type commonly used due to its angular accuracy and resilience against jamming, has captured the interest of Electronic Warfare (EW) system manufacturers.

  4. 3. A numerical study of two-fluid models for dispersed two-phase flow

    Författare :Reynir Levi Gudmundsson; Björn Sjögreen; Anders Petersson; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Numerical analysis; two-phase flow; two-fluid mode; well-posedness; numerical experiments; Numerisk analys; Numerical analysis; Numerisk analys;

    Sammanfattning : In this thesis the two-fluid (Eulerian/Eulerian) formulation for dispersed two-phase flow is considered. Closure laws are needed for this type of models. We investigate both empirically based relations, which we refer to as a nongranular model, and relations obtained from kinetic theory of dense gases, which we refer to as a granular model. LÄS MER

  5. 4. On drug use, multiple medication and polypharmacy in a national population

    Författare :Bo Hovstadius; Göran Petersson; Sven Tågerud; Bengt Åstrand; Björn Wettermark; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Nyckelord :drug use; multiple medication; polypharmacy; register; prevalence; therapeutic intensity; acquisition cost.; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; Biomedical Sciences; Biomedicinsk vetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : The application of multiple medications has successively increased during a number of years and has thereby increased the potential risks of adverse drug reactions, interactions and non-adherence to drug therapy. This may result in unnecessary health expenditure, directly due to redundant drug sales, and indirectly due to the increased hospitalization caused by drug-related problems. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Robots and Moral Agency

    Författare :Linda Johansson; Sven Ove Hansson; Björn Petersson; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; machine ethics; UAV; laws of war; robot morality; moral agency; Moral; Turning Test; Philosophy subjects; Filosofiämnen;

    Sammanfattning :   Machine ethics is a field of applied ethics that has grown rapidly in the last decade. Increasingly advanced autonomous robots have expanded the focus of machine ethics from issues regarding the ethical development and use of technology by humans to a focus on ethical dimensions of the machines themselves.
