    Author : John Cantwell; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Philosophy; Belief revision; iterated belief revision; non-linear belief revision; epistemic entrenchment; plausibility relations; possibility relations; preferential relations; sources of information; contradictory information; non-prioritised belief revision; AGM; Filosofi; Philosophy subjects; Filosofiämnen; teoretisk filosofi; Theoretical Philosophy;

    Abstract : Three structures for belief revision: plausability relations on states, relations of epistemic entrenchment on propositions and systems of spheres (hypertheories), are generalised to the non-linear (non-connected) case. The further generalisation to the case of sets of such structures is also investigated. READ MORE

  4. 2. Relations between soil organic carbon, soil structure and physical processes in an agricultural topsoil : The role of soil mineral constituents

    Author : Jumpei Fukumasu; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : A better understanding of the interactions between soil organic carbon (SOC) and mineral constituents (e.g. clay and reactive oxide phases) and their consequences for soil structure and physical processes is important for assessing the potential for, and benefits of, carbon sequestration in arable soils.

  5. 3. A default extension to description logics and its applications

    Author : Niclas Wahllöf; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES;

    Abstract : This thesis discusses how to extend a family of knowledge representation formalisms known as description logics with default rules. Description logics are tailored to express knowledge in problem domains of a hierarchical or taxonomical nature, that is domains where the knowledge is easily expressed in terms of concepts, objects and relations.

  6. 4. When the first-world-north goes local : Education and gender in post-revolution Laos

    Author : Ann-Louise Bäcktorp; Britt-Marie Berge; Lars Dahlström; Ulla Ambosius Madsen; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; education; gender; development cooperation; post-structuralism; post-colonialism; discourse analysis; Laos; ethnography; Education; Pedagogik;

    Abstract : This thesis is a study of three global issues – development cooperation, education and gender - and their transformation to local circumstances in Lao People’s Democratic Republic (PDR), a landlocked country in Southeast Asia. Combining post-colonial and post-structural perspectives, it sets out to understand how discourses of education and gender in Laos intersect with discourses of education and gender within development cooperation represented by organisations such as the World Bank and the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida).

  7. 5. Materials science of magnetron sputtered fullerene-like carbon nitride thin films

    Author : Jörg Neidhardt; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Carbon nitride (CNx) is a promising compound thin film material for a variety of applications. The nano-structured fullerene-like allotrope in particular exhibits outstanding mechanical proper ties. such as extreme elasticity and toughness. due to a unique microstructure of curved and crosslinked basal planes.
