  2. 21. 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. 22. Numerical Model of Beach Topography Evolution due to Waves and Currents: Special Emphasis on Coastal Structures

    Author : Thanh Nam Pham; Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; morphodynamics; surface roller; wave-induced currents; random waves; sediment transport; coastal structures;

    Abstract : The beach topography change in the nearshore zone may be induced by natural phenomena such as wind, wave, storm, tsunami, and sea level rise. However, it can also be caused by man-made structures and activities, for example, groins, detached breakwaters, seawalls, dredging, and beach nourishment. READ MORE

  5. 23. CUnT-SPLICING THOUGHT-FORMS : Promiscuous Play with Quantum Physics and Spirituality

    Author : Lea Porsager; Konsthögskolan i Malmö; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Artmaking; Excited states; Rope-work; Thought-Forms; Agential realism; Quantum mysticism; Tantra;

    Abstract : CUnT-SPLICING THOUGHT-FORMS — Promiscuous Play with Quantum Physics and Spirituality could perhaps best be described as an invocation of excited states. In more ways than one, this dissertation indulges in a weird threesome between quantum thinking, tantric practices, and feminist theory, with artistic practice at its core. READ MORE

  6. 24. Semantic description and communication of going around in a simulated world

    Author : Nazeer T. Mohammed Saeed; Klaus-Dieter Kuhnert; Madjid Fathi; Germany Siegen Naturwissenschaftlichen-Technischen Fakultät der Universität Siegen Institut für Echtzeit Lernsysteme (EZLS); []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Robotics; Semantic Web; Human-robot communication; Robot-robot communication; Semantic environment description;

    Abstract : In recent years, mobile robots have helped to link predictions, imaginations, and expectations to human life. The tsunami of research on mobile robots mirrors their importance in various fields, such as production, agriculture and medicine. READ MORE

  7. 25. Geochemical and sedimentary signatures of Phanerozoic events

    Author : Jane Wigforss-Lange; Berggrundsgeologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; geokemi; Sedimentology; Petrology; mineralogy; geochemistry; Petrologi; mineralogi; Carbon and oxygen isotopes; Jurassic-Cretaceous boundary; K-T boundary; Late Silurian; Events; Trace elements; Sedimentologi;

    Abstract : Geological and biological catastrophic events have occurred repeatedly in the Earth's history, leaving traces in the global stratigraphical record in the form of sedimentary features, geochemical anomalies and biotic turnovers. This thesis focuses on the sedimentological and geochemical signatures of several key events in the Phanerozoic stratigraphical record, and aims to interpret the different signals and the causal mechanisms behind each of these events.
