    Författare :Erik Åkerlund; Tomas Ekenberg; Henrik Lagerlund; Pauliina Remes; Helen Hattab; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Francisco Suárez; final causes; causality; ontology; metaphysics; intentionality; Francisco Suárez; ändamålsorsaker; kausalitet; ontologi; metafysik; intentionalitet; Philosophy; with specialization in history of philosophy; Filosofi med filosofihistorisk inriktning;

    Sammanfattning : The main thesis of this dissertation is that final causes are beings of reason (‘entia rationis’) in the philosophy of Francisco Suárez (1547-1617). The rejection of final causes is often seen as one of the hallmarks of Early Modern philosophy, marking the transition from an earlier Aristotelian tradition. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Causes of corruption

    Författare :Tobias Dahlström; Jönköping University; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis consists of an introductory chapter and four essays. Although possible to read individually they all analyse the causes of corruption and hence complement each other.The four essays collectively illustrate the complex nature of corruption. Often many interrelated factors work together in causing corruption. LÄS MER

  5. 4. The Heterogenic Final Cell Cycle of Retinal Horizontal Cells

    Författare :Shahrzad Shirazi Fard; Finn Hallböök; Ulla Pirvola; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Apoptosis; Checkpoint; DNA damage; Differentiation; Heteroploid; Endoreplication; Proliferation; Tumor; Neuroscience; Neurovetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : The cell cycle is a highly complex process that is under the control of several pathways.  Failure to regulate and/or complete the cell cycle often leads to cell cycle arrest, which may be followed by programmed cell death (apoptosis). One cell type that has a variety of unique cell cycle properties is the horizontal cell of the chicken retina. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Cracking during Continuous Casting of Steels : Analysis tools and procedures to identify their causes on microalloyed steel slabs

    Författare :Rosa Maria Pineda Huitron; Esa Vuorinen; Pavel Ernesto Ramí­rez López; Maria Begoña Santillana; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Transverse corner cracks; Continuous Casting; Microalloyes steels; Secondary cooling; Cooling curves; Crack susceptibility; Materialteknik; Engineering Materials;

    Sammanfattning : Transverse corner cracks are one of the most common but complex defects formed in microalloyed steels during continuous casting (CC). Such cracks are detrimental because it leads to a loss in productivity with a great impact on environment, energy and economics for several steel making companies all over the world. LÄS MER
