  2. 1. Transcendental idealism and the organism : essays on Kant

    Author : Marcel Quarfood; Dugald Murdoch; Camilla Serck-Hanssen; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Kant; things in themselves; transcendental idealism; perspective; intelligible world; epigenesis; biological functions; teleology; organism; antinomy; regulative maxim; discursivity; acquisitio originaria; Philosophy subjects; Filosofiämnen;

    Abstract : The notion of the organism has a somewhat ambiguous status in Kant’s philosophy. On the one hand it belongs to natural science, on the other hand it is based on an analogy with the structure of reason. Biology therefore has a peculiar place among the sciences according to Kant: it is a natural science constituted by the use of a regulative maxim. READ MORE

  4. 2. Optimization and Learning for Large-Scale MIMO-OFDM Wireless Systems : Theory, Algorithms, and Applications

    Author : Shashi Kant; Carlo Fischione; Mats Bengtsson; Bo Göransson; Gabor Fodor; Christoph Studer; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; First-Order Optimization; Convex Optimization; ADMM; Three-operator ADMM TOP-ADMM ; EVM; OOBE; PAPR; ACLR; MIMO; OFDM; Federated Learning; Telecommunication; Telekommunikation; Optimeringslära och systemteori; Optimization and Systems Theory; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

    Abstract : The requirements for next-generation wireless communications networks, particularly fifth-generation (5G) and beyond, are driven by at least three broad use cases. These include enhanced mobile broadband services to support extremely high data rates in terms of network or per user in both uplink and downlink, massive machine-type communications to accommodate massive internet-of-things applications, and critical machine-type communications to handle mission-critical applications that require ultra-high reliability and low latency.

  5. 3. Waves and instabilities in quantum plasmas

    Author : Shahid Ali; Padma Kant Shukla; Mattias Marklund; Jose Tito Mendonca; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Quantum mechanical effects; dusty plasma; linear and nonlinear waves; instabilities; nonlinear wave interactions; density gradients; magnetoplasmas.; Plasma physics; Plasmafysik;

    Abstract : The study of waves and instabilities in quantum plasmas is of fundamental importance for understanding collective interactions in superdense astrophysical objects, in high intense laser-plasma/solid-matter interactions, in microelectronic devices and metallic nanostructures. In dense quantum plasmas, there are new pressure laws associated with the Fermi-Dirac distribution functions and new quantum forces associated with the quantum Bohm potential and the Bohr magnetization involving electron ½ spin.

  6. 4. Back to the Woods or Into Ourselves? : Kant, Rousseau and the Search for the Essence of Human Nature

    Author : Annika Wennersten; Pauliina Remes; Marcel Quarfood; Ina Goy; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Kant; Rousseau; Moral Anthropology; Human Nature; Radical Evil; Sociability; Gesinnung; Character; Denkungsart; Propensity; Compassion; Self-Love; Self-Conceit; Ambition; Humility; History; Philosophy; with specialization in history of philosophy; Filosofi med filosofihistorisk inriktning;

    Abstract : This thesis contributes to a field of Kant’s practical philosophy that has received renewed attention, namely his moral anthropology. While it is true that Kant, in some of his best-known writings, literally says that the fundamental ground of morality must be pure and thus entirely free from admixture with anthropological principles, he nevertheless admits that these “subjective conditions” in human nature that “either hinder or help people in fulfilling the laws of the metaphysics of morals” make up the foundation of all applied ethics.

  7. 5. Liberty Revisited. A Historical and Systematic Account of an Egalitarian Conception of Liberty and Legitimacy

    Author : Lena Halldenius; Praktisk filosofi; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; History of philosophy; welfare state; discrimination; subordination; socioeconomics; power; gender; Pettit; Wollstonecraft; Mill; Locke; Kant; equality; non-domination; liberty; legitimacy; history of ideas; Filosofins historia; idéhistoria; Political history; Politisk historia;

    Abstract : This dissertation argues for an interpretation of liberty in terms of non-domination rather than non-interference, that non-domination can work as an independent criterion of political legitimacy, and that non-domination includes an approximation of equality in socioeconomic goods. In the first part, four theories of liberty and power – those of Kant, Locke, J. READ MORE
