  2. 1. Norm Acceptance in the International Community : A study of disaster risk reduction and climate-induced migration

    Author : Elin Jakobsson; Mark Rhinard; Lisa Dellmuth; Maria Rost Rublee; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; International Relations; norms; norm diffusion; norm acceptance; norm emergence; norm life cycle; disaster risk reduction; climate-induced migration; climate refugees; climate security; internationella relationer; International Relations;

    Abstract : Different kinds of normative claims and statements of “oughtness” infuse the international political environment. But why do some proposed norms become accepted by the international community while others do not? This thesis investigates this central question using two normatively charged international issues as vehicles for explanation. READ MORE

  4. 2. Norm and difference : Stone Age dietary practice in the Baltic region

    Author : Gunilla Eriksson; Kerstin Lidén; Birgit Arrhenius; Michael Richards; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; diet; norm; variation; Mesolithic; Neolithic; Sweden; Latvia; stable carbon and nitrogen isotopes; radiocarbon; reservoir effect; dogs; breastfeeding; gender; Archaeology subjects; Arkeologiämnen;

    Abstract : Stone Age research on Northern Europe frequently makes gross generalizations about the Mesolithic and Neolithic, although we still lack much basic knowledge on how the people lived. The transition from the Mesolithic to the Neolithic in Europe has been described as a radical shift from an economy dominated by marine resources to one solely dependent on farming. READ MORE

  5. 3. Implicit and explicit norm in contemporary Russian verbal stress

    Author : Elisabeth Marklund Sharapova; Sven Gustavsson; Ludmila Ferm; Lars Steensland; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Slavic and Baltic languages - general; language norm; implicit norm; explicit norm; language normativisation; language normalisation; codification; Russian; stress; verbal stress; accentology; orthoepy; Slaviska och baltiska språk - allmänt; Slavic languages; Slaviska språk; Slaviska språk; Slavic Languages;

    Abstract : The purpose of this thesis is to investigate norm in contemporary Russian verbal stress. In a first step the concept of norm is explored. It is shown that the criteria generally used in Russian for defining norm (correspondence to the language system, usage and authority/tradition/necessity) are not applied strictly. READ MORE

  6. 4. Norm-Regulation of Agent Systems : Instrumentalizing an algebraic approach to agent system norms

    Author : Magnus Hjelmblom; Magnus Boman; Jan Odelstad; Kim Solin; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Agent System; Norm-regulated; Norm-governed; Normative MAS; Normative Positions; Normative system; Transition system; Computer and Systems Sciences; data- och systemvetenskap;

    Abstract : An architecture for norm-regulated multi-agent systems based on an algebraic approach to normative systems is instrumentalized and further developed. The core of the instrumentalization is a Prolog module, which together with a Java library can be used for creating client/server-based runtime systems. READ MORE

  7. 5. Pluripolar Sets and Pluripolar Hulls

    Author : Tomas Edlund; Burglind Juhl-Jöricke; Norm Levenberg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mathematical analysis; plurisubharmonic functions; pluripolar set; complete pluripolar set; pluripolar hull; fine topology; finely analytic function; fine analytic continuation; Matematisk analys; Mathematical analysis; Analys;

    Abstract : For many questions of complex analysis of several variables classical potential theory does not provide suitable tools and is replaced by pluripotential theory. The latter got many important applications within complex analysis and related fields. Pluripolar sets play a special role in pluripotential theory. READ MORE
