C. Ewing; Jonas Olson; Noah Lemos; Graham Oddie; Philosophy; filosofi;

    Sammanfattning : This dissertation is about the partiality problem for fitting attitude (FA) analyses of value. More specifically, it is about whether and how the problem might be resolved. In Chapter 1, I set the stage by offering a short introduction to the topic and a rationale for investigating it. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Radioluminescence : A simple model for fluorescent layers

    Författare :Jan Lindström; Eva Lund; Michael Sandborg; Gudrun Alm-Carlsson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Extrinsic efficiency; extinction factor; radioluminescence; modelling; Monte Carlo; optical attenuation; optimisation; particle size; phosphor; scintillator; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis is to present a simple model for the radiation to light conversion processes in fluorescent layers as an aid in future developments and applications. Optimisation between sensitivity and spatial resolution for fluorescent layers in digital radiology is a delicate task where the extrinsic efficiency for various phosphors needs to be established for varying parameters.

  5. 4. Pricing capability development and its antecedents

    Författare :Linn Andersson; Institutet för Ekonomisk forskning; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Pricing capability; Value appropriation; Organizational capabilities; Managerial decision making; Governance structure; Pricing strategy;

    Sammanfattning : Previous studies have convincingly argued that firms’ ability to efficiently utilize their resources is linked to the effectiveness of their routines and resources for pricing. The ability to appropriate value and achieve a more efficient resource utilization relative to competitors through routines and resources for pricing has been named pricing capability. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Exploring the bits and pieces of curiosity : an information-theoretic approach to understanding what compels information-seeking

    Författare :Gustaf Wadenholt; Linus Holm; Paul Schrater; Ronald van den Berg; Kou Murayama; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Curiosity; uncertainty; information seeking; information gaps; learning satisfaction; learning reward; extrinsic reward; distraction; Psychology; psykologi;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis is to investigate the computational mechanisms that drive curiosity, the motivational state for learning for its own sake. Curiosity is operationalized as information-seeking behaviors and self-reported curiosity. LÄS MER
