1. Artworks as diagrams : Diagrammatic reasoning and the epistemic potential of art
Sammanfattning : This thesis is concerned with establishing a bridge between matters of aesthetics and epistemology, by investigating the mechanisms through which artworks allow agents to derive knowledge through the former’s manipulation. It is proposed that, in order to understand the epistemic potential of artworks, we need to approach them as diagrams, in the sense developed by Charles Peirce. LÄS MER

3. Patterns of corporate visual selfrepresentation in accounting narratives
Sammanfattning : This dissertation deals with firms’ visual and pre-visual self-representations in accounting narratives. Self-representations are those descriptions about the company that firms include in accounting narratives to convey the current standings and their identity. LÄS MER
4. Efficient Analysis of Discrete Event Systems: Supervisor Synthesis with Binary Decision Diagrams
Sammanfattning : Due to the ever-increasing complexity of software and hardware, it is becoming more and more important to develop methods and tools for automatic analysis and synthesis of systems. One obstacle in achieving this goal has been the unmanageable size and complexity of the involved mathematical operations. LÄS MER
5. Invariants of knot diagrams and diagrammatic knot invariants
Sammanfattning : Two knot diagrams describe isotopic knots if and only if they can be connected by a sequence of planar isotopies and Reidemeister moves (cusp-, self-tangency-, and triple point moves). In this dissertation classes of knot diagrams, Reidemeister moves, and relations between sequences of Reidemeister moves are investigated, in a manner inspired by V. LÄS MER
