Comments on Christina Fredengren in her essay Beyond Entanglement on human-animal relations, critical feminist posthumanism and nature/culture

I undertake a metaphysical investigation of Saul Kripke's modern classic, Naming and Necessity (1980). The general problem of my study may be expressed as follows: What is the metaphysical justification of the validity and existence of the pertinent classes of truths, the necessary a posteriori and the contingent a priori, according to the Kripke Paradigm? My approach is meant to disclose the log

There are two, partially interlaced, themes treated in this thesis; inverse problems of tomographic type and fast and accurate methods for the application of convolution operators. Regarding the first theme, the inverse problem of Doppler tomography is considered and the Doppler moment transform is introduced for that purpose. By investigating the properties of the transform, we prove results reg

The preliminary results of a survey of ancient Hermione (epichoric Hermion) are presented in this paper. The survey was conducted during three short campaigns over the period 2015–2017, and focused on the urban layout and development of the ancient city. Because the ancient city area more or less coincides with modern Ermioni, the investigation was mainly restricted to the documentation and analys

Short survey over the problems connected to the collection and preservation of experimental film

Shift-map image processing is a new framework based on energy minimization over a large space of labels. The optimization utilizes $\alpha$-expansion moves and iterative refinement over a Gaussian pyramid. In this paper we extend the range of applications to image registration. To do this, new data and smoothness terms have to be constructed. We note a great improvement when we measure pixel simi

Coldings tool life equation for metal cutting tools has been modified to suit the difficult to machine material Maxthal. The dominant tool wear mechanisms during machining of Maxthal are abrasive and adhesive wear and a strongly temperature dependent chemical deterioration. The combination of these three mechanisms leads to a considerable variation in tool life, even when the cutting speed has bee

In what follows, two properties characterizing supplier selection methods, namely, transparency and independence of irrelevant alternatives, will be properly discerned. Consecutively, three hypotheses, concerning the impact these properties have on the procurement outcome, will be suggested. Transparency is presumed to decrease the likelihood of having a locally established winner as well as to in

Summary Title: Sustainability reporting in Sweden - Possible effects from EU-directive 2014/95/EU Amount of words: 25 807 Authors: Albin Askman Junhede, Tobias Carlsson och Viktor Johansson Advisor: Per Magnus Andersson Key words: Sustainable development, sustainability report, guidelines for sustainability reporting, comparability, EU-directive 2014/95/EU. Purpose: With the basis in an ana

In the first part of this thesis, measurement and registration procedures of occlusal interferences and their inter and intraobserver variability were evaluated. In the second part of this thesis, the short and long-term effect of occlusal adjustment therapy was prospectively assessed in a controlled clinical trial in a selected group of 50 patients with myogeneous craniomandibular disorders (CMD)

This dissertation is a study of In the Heart of the Country (1977), Waiting for the Barbarians (1980), Age of Iron (1990), Disgrace (1999), Diary of a Bad Year (2007), and Summertime (2009) written by J. M. Coetzee. The aim of the dissertation is to analyze these works of fiction using four postcolonial aspects that function as consistent themes in the novels. The aspects are; the relationship bet
