2. 1. As if Peoples Mattered: Critical Appraisal of "Peoples" and "Minorities" from the International Human Rights Perspective and Beyond

   Author : Zelim Tskhovrebov; Juridiska institutionen; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Self-Actualization; Individuation; Games; Self-Determination; International Law; Peoples; Minorities; Human rights; Mänskliga rättigheter;

   Abstract : The subject matter of the thesis is the comprehensive - legal and multidisciplinary - analysis of the terms 'peoples' and 'minorities' in international law. The argument of the author proceeds in four parts: the Problematique which deals with the 'minority challenge' and the international normative response to that challenge; the Critique, criticizing the basic underlying assumptions of the discourse; the Diagnostics, diagnosing the causative factors behind the normative 'malaise'; and the Resolutique, recapping the best international law of human rights offers for the solution of the 'minority' problem on the one hand, and suggesting new ways of looking on the problem, on the other.

4. 2. Making complex commons work : identifying critical social-ecological factors and mechanisms for sustainable ecosystem management

   Author : Caroline Schill; Therese Lindahl; Björn Vollan; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Agent-based modelling; Behavioural experiments; Collective action; Common-pool resources; Cooperation; Ecological complexity; Knowledge sharing; Regime shifts; Social-ecological systems; Sustainable management; Thresholds; Uncertainty; Sustainability Science; vetenskap om hållbar utveckling;

   Abstract : Collective action holds the key to many sustainability challenges, from local to global scales. Whether it is to manage community-based fisheries or take action against climate change or biodiversity loss – the question on how to overcome the conflict between individual and collective interests (i.e. READ MORE

5. 3. Simple Models for Complex Nonequilibrium Problems in Nanoscale Friction and Network Dynamics

   Author : David Andersson; Astrid de WIjn; Supriya Krishnamurthy; Nicola Manini; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; tribology; nanofriction; 2d materials; graphene; image reconstruction; social dynamics; common-pool resource; collective action; simple models; teoretisk fysik; Theoretical Physics;

   Abstract : This doctoral thesis investigates three different topics: How friction evolves in atomically thin layered materials (2D materials); How social dynamics can be used to model grand scale common-pool resource games; Benchmarking of various image reconstruction algorithms in atomic force microscopy experiments. While these topics are diverse, they share being complex out-of-equilibrium systems. READ MORE

6. 4. From Shrieks to Technical Reports : technology, disability and political processes in building Athens metro

   Author : Vasilis Galis; Jane Summerton; Jonas Anshelm; Ingunn Moser; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; co-production; transport disability; symmetry; hybrid collective; accessibility provisions; handbooks; materiality; translation; social model of disability; hybrid forums; concerned groups; configuration of the built environment; samproduktion; transport handikapp; symmetri; hybrid collective; tillgänglighetsåtgärder; handbok; materialitet; översättning; hybrid forums; concerned groups; Technology and social change; Teknik och social förändring;

   Abstract : Avhandlingen beskriver och analyserar hur frågor kring tillgänglighet/handikapp för första gången aktualiserades och implementerades i planeringen och utformningen av den byggda miljön i Aten, nämligen processen i samband med beslut, planering och implementering av jätteprojektet Atens Metro. Studien tecknar framväxten av olika handikapporganisationer, som från att ha varit svaga aktörer successivt lyckades få gehör för sina krav inom stadens förvaltning, politiska organ, den grekiska riksdagen och inte minst inom de företag som byggde metrosystemet.

7. 5. Game theory and applications

   Author : Carl-Joar Karlsson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : 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;

   Abstract : 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. READ MORE
