1. Meaning and Action in Sustainability Science : Interpretive approaches for social-ecological systems research
Sammanfattning : Social-ecological systems research is interventionist by nature. As a subset of sustainability science, social-ecological systems research aims to generate knowledge and introduce concepts that will bring about transformation. Yet scientific concepts diverge in innumerable ways when they are put to work in the world. LÄS MER
2. Design Principles for Network Distributed Denial of Service Defense

It is becoming easier and easier to perform successful network attacks against these Information Systems, which causes the system to become unavailable for its intended users. LÄS MER
3. Robots That Understand Natural Language Instructions and Resolve Ambiguities
Sammanfattning : Verbal communication is a key challenge in human-robot interaction. For effective verbal interaction, understanding natural language instructions and clarifying ambiguous user requests are crucial for robots. In real-world environments, the instructions can be ambiguous for many reasons. LÄS MER
4. Stripped-envelope supernovae discovered by the Palomar Transient Factory
Sammanfattning : This thesis is based on research made by the intermediate Palomar Transient Factory [(i)PTF]. The focus is on stripped-envelope (SE) supernovae (SNe) discovered by (i)PTF, and it is closely tied to the research on the SE SN iPTF13bvn, that occurred in the nearby galaxy NGC 5806. LÄS MER
5. Placing Conflict : Religion and politics in Kaduna State, Nigeria
Sammanfattning : Decentralisation and federalism are often said to mitigate conflict by better meeting the preferences of a heterogeneous population and demands for limited autonomy. But it is argued in this thesis that this perspective does not sufficiently address the ways in which conflict-ridden relations entangle processes across different scales ‒ local, regional as well as national.
