2. 1. How to Set Rational Environmental Goals : theory and applications

   Author : Karin Edvardsson; John Cantwell; Erik Carlson; KTH; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; goal-setting; rationality; precision; evaluability; approachability; motivity; coherence; operationalization; goal conflicts; environmental objectives; sustainable development; Philosophy subjects; Filosofiämnen;

   Abstract : Environmental goals are commonly set to guide work towards ecological sustainability. The aim of this thesis is to develop a precise terminology for the description of goals in terms of properties that are important in their practical use as decision-guides and to illustrate how it can be used in evaluations of environmental policy.

4. 2. Goal-setting and goal-achieving in transport policy

   Author : Holger Rosencrantz; Sven Ove Hansson; Jan Odelstad; KTH; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; rationality; goals; policy goal; transport policy; road safety; goal conflicts; priority; value uncertainty; restriction; Philosophy subjects; Filosofiämnen;

   Abstract : The thesis aims at developing new, alternative approaches and methods based on suggestions and ideas originating from moral philosophy and philosophical decision theory. More precisely, the thesis aims at investigating the rationality of transport policy decisions, including goal-setting and performance evaluation. READ MORE

5. 3. New horizons in string theory : bubble babble in search of darkness

   Author : Suvendu Giri; Ulf Danielsson; Bert Vercnocke; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; String theory; black holes; dark energy; de Sitter; cosmological constant; M-theory; braneworld; anti de Sitter; Theoretical Physics; Teoretisk fysik;

   Abstract : It was discovered nearly two decades ago that we live in an accelerating universe that is dominated by dark energy. Understanding the origin of such an energy has turned out to be a very difficult open question in physics, and calls on the need for a fundamental theory like string theory. READ MORE

6. 4. Multiphase continuum modeling of wood : A hybrid mixture theory approach

   Author : Winston Mmari; Björn Johannesson; Lynn Schreyer; Linnéuniversitetet; []
   Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Moisture transport; Coupled heat and moisture; Over-hygroscopic; Hybrid mixture theory; Mixture theory; Swelling; Hygro-mechanical; Non-linear elasticity; Large deformation; Phase field crack model; Anisotropic cracking; FEM; Numerical model; Norway spruce; Wood; Porous media; Forestry and Wood Technology; Skog och träteknik;

   Abstract : Wood has been used as a construction material for a very long time. The development of efficient industrial production processes of wood has expanded the use of the material with the introduction of new products, such as engineered wood products. READ MORE

7. 5. Relations in Dependent Type Theory

   Author : Carlos Gonzalía; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; formalized mathematics; relational systems; category theory; programming logics; constructive type theory; logical frameworks; relational database model;

   Abstract : This thesis investigates how to express and reason about relational concepts and methods inside the constructive logical framework of Martin-Löf's monomorphic type theory. We cover several areas where the notion of relation is central, and show how to formalize the basic concepts of each area. READ MORE
