  1. 1. Modal syllogistics in the Middle Ages

    Författare :Henrik Lagerlund; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Philosophy; modal syllogistic; modal logic; Middle Ages; Aristotle; Robert Kilwardby; Albert the Great; Averroes Ibn Rushd ; Richard of Campsall; William of Ockham; John Buridan; Pseudo-Scotus; Albert of Saxony; Marsilius of Inghen; Jodocus Trutfetter; George of Brussels; Filosofi; Philosophy subjects; Filosofiämnen; teoretisk filosofi; Theoretical Philosophy;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis presents the first systematic study of the development of the theory of modal syllogistic during the Middle Ages. It traces the theory from the first commentators, after the rediscovery of Aristotle's Prior Analytics in the twelfth century, to the end of the Middle Ages in the fifteenth century. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Invoking the modal nymph: The emergence and dissemination of the concept of modality in Swedish folk music

    Författare :Netta Huebscher; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Swedish folk music; Modality; Neo-modality; Modal theory; Scale degree theory; Romanticism; Open concept;

    Sammanfattning : Since the emergence of a concept of folk music, the study and practice of certain Western European musical traditions has been informed by notions of the music’s modality. Specifically, the idea that older or more indigenous layers of traditional repertoires manifest an underlying, pre-tonal structure of their own has been significant in scholarship, musical education, and performance.

  4. 3. Mechanical Characterization of Engineering Materials by Modal Testing

    Författare :Daniel Larsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; material variability; modal testing; non-destructive test methods; damping ratios; timber beams; plastic panels; aluminium panel; elastic constants; concrete curing; wood-based panels; solids; high-strength concrete; anisotropic materials;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis deals with the use of modal testing for establishing elastic constants of engineering materials and for indicating material variability in terms of stiffness and damping properties. The methodology using modal testing techniques, is applied to timber beams, high strength concrete prisms, wood-based panels (oriented strand board and chipboard), an aluminium alloy panel and plastic laminate panels (high-pressure laminate).

  5. 4. Theory and Application of the Mechanics of Graphene Sheets

    Författare :Juan Atalaya; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Graphene; Elasticity Theory; Nonlinear Dynamics and NEM-based Mass Spectrometry.;

    Sammanfattning : Starting from an atomistic approach, I derive a hierarchy of successively more simplified continuum elasticity descriptions for modeling the mechanical properties of suspended graphene sheets. It is shown that graphene sheets with clamped edges have an intrinsic nonlinear mechanical response due to a variable tension induced by stretching. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Lärares dilemman

    Författare :Helge Räihä; Per Ledin; Kajsa Falkner; Jan Anward; Örebro universitet; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; teacher; dilemma; media; trust; derivation; rationality; connective; logical; predicative; modal; Swedish language; Svenska språket; Svenska språket; Swedish Language;

    Sammanfattning : The topic of the present dissertation is teachers’ everyday dilemmas and the use of language to deal with these dilemmas. The concept of dilemma is compared to the concept of risk and the concept of paradox. The theoretical background consists of sociological systems theory and linguistic pragmatic theory. LÄS MER
