1. 6. Consensus formation in the Deffuant model

   Författare :Timo Hirscher; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Deffuant model; consensus formation; opinion dynamics; sociophysics; vector-valued opinions; percolation; sociophysics;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis deals with a mathematical model used in the context of social interaction in large groups, introduced by Deffuant et al. in 2000. Each individual holds an opinion and shares it with others in random pairwise encounters. LÄS MER

3. 7. Don’t Mention the War : The forging of a domestic foreign policy consensus on the entry, expansion and exit of Swedish military contributions to Afghanistan

   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Sweden; foreign policy; consensus; framing; foreign policy line; domestic politics; ISAF; Afghanistan; peace support operations; NATO.; Statskunskap; Political Science;

   Sammanfattning : Consensus is not something that just happens in the foreign policy domain when political actors seemingly agree on a policy.

4. 8. Consensus Trade-offs in Wireless Sensor Networks

   Författare :CHRISTOPHER LINDBERG; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Distributed Algorithms; Wireless Sensor Networks; Compressed Sensing; Consensus Algorithms; Trade-off Analysis;

   Sammanfattning : As more and more everyday electronic devices become equipped with the combined re- sources of computation, sensing, and wireless communications, possible platforms for implementation of wireless sensor networks have become ubiquitous. The combination of these three main capabilities of such a network present the opportunity to for example gather high resolution measurement data, or cooperatively perform advanced computa- tional tasks.

5. 9. Essays on Epistemology and Evolutionary Game Theory

   Författare :Elias Tsakas; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Common knowledge; communication; consensus; betting; primitive propositions; negative introspection; information partition; projection; learning.;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis has two parts, one consisting of three independent papers in epistemology (Chapters 1-3) and another one consisting of a single paper in evolutionary game theory (Chapter 4): (1) “Knowing who speaks when: A note on communication, common knowledge and consensus” (together with Mark Voorneveld) We study a model of pairwise communication in a finite population of Bayesian agents. We show that, if the individuals update only according to the signal they actually hear, and they do not take into account all the hypothetical signals they could have received, a consensus is not necessarily reached.

7. 10. Genmodifierade livsmedel och kommunikativ etik : En analys av etisk oenighet i debatten om genmodifierade livsmedel

   Författare :Karin Hugo; Carl-Henric Grenholm; Anders Nordgren; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Ethics; Communicative Ethics; Seyla Benhabib; Argumentation analysis; Genetically modified food; Novel food; Consensus; Dialogue; Etik; Philosophy subjects; Filosofiämnen;

   Sammanfattning : The purpose of this thesis is to analyse the Swedish debate regarding genetically modified food products. What does the moral disagreements within this debate entail? In which way would it be possible to obtain and maintain a true dialogue? Is consensus a plausible or even a desirable goal? Can communicative ethics contribute? These questions are analysed in this research project. LÄS MER
