1. Religion – evolutionens missfoster eller kärleksbarn? : Kognitionsvetenskaplig religionsforskning och dess relevans för religiösa trosföreställningars rationalitet
Sammanfattning : This thesis is on Cognitive Science of Religion (CSR) and its relevance for the rationality of religious beliefs. An epistemical model for rationality is developed according to which: a person (or group of persons) is rational to hold a certain belief a) if this belief can be assumed to have been generated by one or more reliable cognitive mechanisms, b) applies whether or not she is aware of what these mechanisms are, but c) only as long as it does not exist or arise some reasons (defeaters) to question the belief; if they occur, she must d) reflect on it and find other reasons or grounds to hold the belief in question.

2. Computational Prediction Models for Proteolytic Cleavage and Epitope Identification
Sammanfattning : The biological functions of proteins depend on their physical interactions with other molecules, such as proteins and peptides. Therefore, modeling the protein-ligand interactions is important for understanding protein functions in different biological processes. LÄS MER
3. Statistical methods in single particle fluorescence microscopy
Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis is stochastic modeling and statistical inference in single particle fluorescence microscopy related to the experimental observation of randomly moving particles. A central theme is the use of single particle microscopy for estimation of absolute concentration of nanoparticles performing Brownian motion. LÄS MER
4. Convergence issues in inter-domain routing and connectivity modeling of ad hoc networks
Sammanfattning : This thesis addresses two topics in computer networking: inter-domain routing and modeling intermittently connected networks (ICNs). The standard inter-domain routing protocol used in the Internet today is the Border Gateway Protocol version 4 (BGP). BGP applies send-rate constraints to routing messages in order to limit its convergence complexity. LÄS MER
5. Risk, reproducibility, and reproduction : Essays on scholar’s analytic decisions and consumers' product purchases
Sammanfattning : This thesis investigates how evolutionary biology theories can be used to better understand consumer behavior. The first paper lays the groundwork for the methodologies used throughout the thesis. Here, the focus is on the (ab-)use of p-values and how easy it is to find a false-positive research result under different common circumstances. LÄS MER
