  1. 1. Electronic Healthcare Ontologies : Philosophy, the real world and IT structures

    Author : Martin Berzell; Ingemar Nordin; Urban Forsum; Daniel Karlsson; Ingvar Johansson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Philosophy; medical informatics; ontology; terminology; critical realism; immanent realism; Filosofi; medicinsk informatik; ontologi; terminologi; kritisk realism; immanent realism; Theory of science; Vetenskapsteori; Theoretical philosophy; Teoretisk filosofi;

    Abstract : The thesis investigates how the notion of ‘ontology’ has been used in the field of medical informatics and knowledge representation. Partly to investigate what an ‘ontology’ can be said to represent and what requirements we can have on a good ‘ontology’. READ MORE

  2. 2. On the Microstructure and the Thermal Conductivity in Compacted Graphite Iron

    Author : Martin Selin; Ingvar L. Svensson; Daniel Holmgren; Lars Nyborg; Kenneth Hamberg; Jönköping University; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Compacted graphite iron; Microstructure; Thermal conductivity; Ferrite; Cementite; Nodularity; Mathematical modelling; Laser flash technique; Austempering;

    Abstract : Compacted graphite iron (CGI) is a cast iron material that has gained much attention due to its attractive material properties which are intermediate between those of grey and ductile cast iron. In the automotive industry compacted graphite iron has become an interesting alternative material to grey cast iron in components like cylinder blocks or cylinder heads. READ MORE

  3. 3. On Thermal Conductivity and Strength in Compacted Graphite Irons : Influence of Temperature and Microstructure

    Author : Martin Selin; Ingvar L. Svensson; Attila Diószegi; Steve Dawson; Jönköping University; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Compacted Graphite Iron; Thermal Conductivity; Mechanical Properties; Hardness; Microstructure; Plastic Deformation; Hollomon Equation; Elevated Temperature; Materials science; Teknisk materialvetenskap;

    Abstract : Thermal conductivity, hardness and strength are all highly important material properties, affecting the performance and life expectancy of components operating at elevated temperatures. The main purpose of this work has been to increase the knowledge and understanding concerning how mechanical and physical properties are affected by temperature and microstructure in compacted graphite irons.

  4. 4. Neuroimaging Consciousness: What happens in the brain when we become aware of what we percieve?

    Author : Johan Eriksson; Lars Nyberg; Martin Ingvar; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Psychology; Psykologi; Psychology; psykologi;

    Abstract : Although consciousness has been studied since the beginning of the history of psychology, how the brain implements consciousness is seen as one of the last great mysteries. This thesis investigates neural correlates of consciousness by measuring brain activity while specific contents of consciousness are defined and maintained. READ MORE

  5. 5. The structure of knowing : Existential trust as an epistemological category

    Author : Hildur Kalman; Martin Edman; Ulla M. Holm; Ingvar Johansson; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; lived body; knowing; existential trust; tacit knowing; Pkolanyi; subsidiary awareness; experience; gender; epistemology; from-to structure; agency;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates the structure of knowing, and it argues that existential trust is an epistemological category.The aim of the dissertation is to develop a view according to which all human activity is seen as an activity of a lived body, and in which the understanding of the structure of such activity is regarded as central for the solution even of epistemological problems.
