  1. 1. Future generations : A challenge for moral theory

    Författare :Gustaf Arrhenius; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Philosophy; future generations; population theory; population ethics; axiology; welfare; moral theory; social choice theory; impossibility theorems; Filosofi; Practical philosophy; Praktisk filosofi; Practical Philosophy; Praktisk filosofi;

    Sammanfattning : For the last thirty years or so, there has been a search underway for a theory that canaccommodate our intuitions in regard to moral duties to future generations. The object ofthis search has proved surprisingly elusive. The classical moral theories in the literature allhave perplexing implications in this area. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Game theory and applications

    Författare :Carl-Joar Karlsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; non-cooperative game theory; prisoner s dilemma; disease; distribution; compartmental model; epidemiological model; game theory; equilibrium strategy;

    Sammanfattning : Individual-level interactions and decisions spread though populations and change the collective-level dynamics in an intricate way. Nevertheless, game theory is well suited for the unification of these viewpoints. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Markov Chains, Renewal, Branching and Coalescent Processes : Four Topics in Probability Theory

    Författare :Andreas Nordvall Lagerås; Thomas Höglund; Ingemar Kaj; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mathematical statistics; Matematisk statistik; matematisk statistik; Mathematical Statistics;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis consists of four papers.In paper 1, we prove central limit theorems for Markov chains under (local) contraction conditions. As a corollary we obtain a central limit theorem for Markov chains associated with iterated function systems with contractive maps and place-dependent Dini-continuous probabilities. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Game Theory and Agents

    Författare :Stefan J. Johansson; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Game Theory; Multi-Agent Systems; No Free Lunch Theorem; Characteristic Distributions;

    Sammanfattning : A fundamental problem in multi agent systems is conflict resolution. A conflict occurs in general when the agents have to deal with inconsistent goals, such as a demand for shared resources. We investigate how a game theoretic approach may be a helpful and efficient tool in examining a class of conflicts in multi agent systems. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Patient and relative perspective regarding quality in hospital care for older people : Theory and Methods

    Författare :Barbro Krevers; Britt-Inger Saveman; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; patient perspective; older patients; relatives; quality of care; hospital care; POCR; process perspective; continuous quality improvement;

    Sammanfattning : Although the elderly population consumes a relatively large proportion of health care, international research has focused little attention on older people and their perception of health care and its outcome. Information is also scanty concerning relatives in hospital care and their actions and the circumstances related to relatives' participation in the care process. LÄS MER
