Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis is to provide an adequate view of moral concepts. The major obstacle that stands in the way of providing such a view is the problem of combining two general features of moral judgments that seem to be constitutive of their meaning, namely objectivity and practical significance.

An investigation is undertaken into the psychology and rationality of such agents. I argue that self-related elements such as emotions and standing value commitments play an irreducible role in successful aesthetic engagement. LÄS MER
3. Catalysis and Site-Specific Modification of Glutathione Transferases Enabled by Rational Design
Sammanfattning : This thesis describes the rational design of a novel enzyme, a thiolester hydrolase, derived from human glutathione transferase (GST) A1-1 by the introduction of a single histidine residue. The first section of the thesis describes the design and the determination of the reaction mechanism. LÄS MER
4. Rational design and applications of cell-penetrating peptides
Sammanfattning : Cell-penetrating peptides are peptides capable of translocating the cellular membrane and entering the cell, either alone or together with a cargo. Potential applications of cell-penetrating peptides include drug delivery and gene therapy. LÄS MER
5. On design of low order H-infinity controllers
Sammanfattning : When designing controllers with robust performance and stabilization requirements, H-infinity synthesis is a common tool to use. These controllers are often obtained by solving mathematical optimization problems. The controllers that result from these algorithms are typically of very high order, which complicates implementation. LÄS MER
