2. 1. Guiding Concepts : Essays on Normative Concepts, Knowledge, and Deliberation

   Author : Olle Risberg; Erik Carlson; Andrew Reisner; Wlodek Rabinowicz; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; action-guidance; adherence; all things considered ought; alternative normative concepts; conceptual engineering; debunking; deliberation; disagreement; epistemic pluralism; epistemology; ethics; external world skepticism; idealization; metaethics; meta-skepticism; moral skepticism; normativity; ought; reasons; response-dependence; uncertainty; Filosofi; Philosophy;

   Abstract : This thesis addresses a range of questions about normativity, broadly understood. Recurring themes include (i) the idea of normative ‘action-guidance’, and the connection between normativity and motivational states, (ii) the possibility of normative knowledge and its role in deliberation, and (iii) the question of whether (and if so, how) normative concepts can themselves be evaluated.

4. 2. Circling Concepts : A Critical Archaeological Analysis of the Notion of Stone Circles as Sami Offering Sites

   Author : Marte Spangen; Anders Andrén; Bjørnar Olsen; Aleks Pluskowski; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Sami circular offering sites; northern Norway; Middle Ages; early modern period; history of archaeology; rituals; religion; osteoarchaeology; cultural heritage; authorised heritage discourse; neo-shamanism; rites and rights; socio-politics; emotional hegemony; materiality; arkeologi; Archaeology;

   Abstract : The thesis discusses a category of cultural heritage that has been labelled "Sami circular offering sites", aiming to establish some basic facts about their origin, distribution and use, as well as their cultural and socio-political context and influence. The stone enclosures in question have been interpreted as Sami offering sites since the mid-19th century, but a discourse analysis of the research history indicates that this may have been based on a scholarly hypothesis rather than ethnographic or archaeological evidence.

5. 3. ALTERNATIVE POLYETHYLENE CROSSLINKING CONCEPTS FOR POWER CABLE INSULATION

   Author : Massimiliano Mauri; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; epoxy; crosslinking; HVDC; polymer blends; click-chemistry; polyethylene; Renewable Energy; High-voltage insulation;

   Abstract : We currently witness an accelerating shift from fossil energy sources to renewables driven by the urgent need to reduce carbon emissions. Wind, solar and hydro power is most abundant in places far away from the end user, which necessitates the efficient transport of electricity over long distances. READ MORE

6. 4. Peace by repatriation : Concepts, cases, and conditions

This assumption is often made in the peacebuilding literature as well as by policy makers, but it has rarely been the object of systematic analysis. READ MORE

7. 5. Alternative electronic packaging concepts for high frequency electronics

   Author : Wolfgang Peter Siebert; Sture Petersson; Shaofang Gong; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Electrical engineering; Connector; cooling; electronic; elastomer interconnect; EMC; shielded enclosure; high frequency; PCB; PWB; reverberation chamber; seams; soldering; twisted pair cable; Elektroteknik; Electrical engineering; Elektroteknik;
