  1. 1. Zero magic : Shifting the Valuation Convention

    Författare :Simon Goldin; Manuel Borja-Villel; Kungl. Konsthögskolan; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Goldin Senneby; Simon Goldin; Jakob Sennebt; Malin Nilsson; Théo Bourgeron; artistic research; magic trick; patent; finance; financial markets; short selling; value; valuation; Fine Art; Fri Konst; Goldin Senneby; Simon Goldin; Jakob Senneby; Malin Nilsson; Théo Bourgeron; Art; Artistic research; Magic; Trick; Patent; Finance; Financial markets; Short selling; Value; Valuation; Secrets;

    Sammanfattning : Zero Magic is a trick for the financial markets, which has the capacity to undermine the perceived value of a publicly traded company and profit from this. Short selling is a way of profiting from loss: Making money if and when a target company loses in value. LÄS MER

  3. 2. KNOTCIRCUS : Or ‘Being the Adventures of Happy Down-River’

    Författare :Jonathan Priest; Rolf Hughes; André Lepecki; Adrian Heathfield; Stockholms konstnärliga högskola; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Circus; circus research; the circus trick; loop; paradox; contradiction; tautology; knot; knotcircus; fiction; Performativa och mediala praktiker; med inriktning mot film och media koreografi opera scen; Performative and mediated practices; with specializations in choreography film and media opera performing arts;

    Sammanfattning : This is an investigation of the trick as it relates to three fields; gravity, language and capital.   I will fully break down and unpack what I mean by ‘trick’ later in this introduction, in the mean time I refer to it as something that refutes the systemic validity of the system through which it proceeds.

  4. 3. The Invisible Seen in French Cinema before 1917

    Författare :Marina Dahlquist; Frank Kessler; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; trickfilm; vetenskaplig film; fransk tidig film; Film; Filmvetenskap; filmvetenskap; Cinema Studies;

    Sammanfattning : Since the inception of cinema, an important strand of the medium has focused on itself, on what it depicts, and its indexical relation to the profilmic. Such concerns were most conspicuously put forward by the trick-film genre which bypassed conventional realism in its toying with the photographic image as well as cinematic movement. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Moral Illusions

    Författare :Kajsa Hansson; Gustav Tinghög; Emil Persson; Kinga Barrafrem; Topi Miettinen; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Selfish behavior; Preferences for redistribution; Moral behavior; Själviskt beteende; Preferenser för omfördelning; Moraliskt beteende;

    Sammanfattning : Just as optical illusions can trick our visual senses, our moral sense can be misguided by moral illusions. In this thesis, I investigate whether moral illusions can arise from mental shortcuts (availability bias), cognitive biases (attribution bias), contextual factors (possibility to avoid information), and decision rules (democratic decision-making).

  7. 5. Quantum optics with artificial atoms

    Författare :Anton Frisk Kockum; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; surface acoustic waves; transmon; circuit QED; photon detector; parity measurement; quantum stochastic calculus; Quantum optics; artificial atoms; quantum measurement;

    Sammanfattning : Quantum optics is the study of interaction between atoms and photons. In the eight papers of this thesis, we study a number of systems where artificial atoms (here, superconducting circuits emulating the level structure of an atom) enable us to either improve on known concepts or experiments from quantum optics with natural atoms, or to explore entirely new regimes which have not been possible to reach in such experiments.
