  1. 1. Foundations for knowing God : Bernard Lonergan's foundations for knowledge of God and the challenge from antifoundationalism

    Author : Ulf Jonsson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Religion; B Lonergan; knowledge of God; foundationalism; antifoundationalism; cognitional theory; epistemic justification; transcendental method; basic beliefs; religious experience; Aquinas; Aristotle; H Putnam; R Rorty; Religionsvetenskap Teologi; Religion Theology; Religionsvetenskap Teologi; Philosophy of Religion; religionsfilosofi;

    Abstract : This study deals with the theory of knowledge of God elaborated by the Canadian theologian and philosopher Bernard Lonergan (1904-1984). Lonergan's theory of knowledge of God, or his "philosophy of God", has already been the subject-matter of a number of doctoral dissertations. READ MORE

  2. 2. Movement and experimentation in young children's learning : Deleuze and Guattari in early childhood education

    Author : Liselott Olsson; Gunilla Dahlberg; Marianne Bloch; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; preschool; subjectivity; learning; movement; experimentation; micropolitics and segmentarity; transcendental empiricism; event; assemblages of desire; Pedgogical work; Pedagogiskt arbete;

    Abstract : This study departs from experiences made in a setting where preschool children, teachers, teacher students, teacher educators and researchers in the Stockholm area in Sweden have been collectively experimenting with subjectivity and learning since the beginning of the 1990’s. However, during later years, questions were raised in the context of cooperative work about the changes that have been achieved so far, possibly becoming new and somewhat rigid ‘mappings’ of young children and learning.

  3. 3. Graded lie algebras in local algebra and rational homotopy

    Author : Rikard Bøgvad; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : This thesis consists of three papers, [A – C]The old conjecture that Poincaré-series of local noetherian rings are rational was disproved by Anick in 1979. Building upon his counter-example, as analyzed by Löfwall-Roos, I construct a Gorenstein ring with transcendental Poincaré-series; by a method of Roos this also gives a manifold whose loopspace has transcendental Poinaré-Betti series.

  4. 4. Exploring effective descriptions of gauge fields and strings : A Lagrangian approach with insights from color-kinematics duality

    Author : Lucia M. Garozzo; Henrik Johansson; Chris White; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; scattering amplitudes; double copy; gauge theory; string theory; Theoretical Physics; Teoretisk fysik;

    Abstract : The concept of a color-kinematics duality is an important driving force in advancing the modern understanding of scattering amplitudes, in both field theory and string theory. Yet, open questions remain that motivate the need for a deeper understanding of the duality. READ MORE

  5. 5. Quasi-analytical Modelling and Optimisation Techniques for Transport Aircraft Design

    Author : Askin T. Isikveren; KTH; []
    Keywords : aircraft; conceptual; design; specifications; atmosphere; geometry; weight; aerodyanmics; propulsion; operational performance; stability and control; constrained multi-objective optimisation; computer aided design; regional; business; high-transonic; ;

    Abstract : The research work presented here focuses on the subject oftransport aircraft design at the pre-design or conceptuallevel. The primary topics addressed are: (1) generation of avast array of new quasi-analytical expressions to permit aconceptual treatment of commercial and business transportaircraft with adequate sensitivity for more advanced tradestudies; (2) review and adoption of a method to predictstability and control characteristics (using the Mitchellmethod); (3) a study of the relative merits between variousmethods in facilitating an expedient and robust constrainedmulti-objective optimisation result within the context oftraditional conceptual design problems (Genetic Algorithms andNelder-Mead Simplex search); (4) creation of a software packageas a new and unique conceptual tool that permits the generationof design proposals in an accurate yet expeditious manner; and,(5) practical demonstration of the new conceptual designsoftware package by undertaking some actual aircraft designproposals.
