The evolutionary biologist Julian Huxley (1887–1975) attempted to promote a “religion for the future,” which he would come to refer to as Transhumanism. It was Huxley’s firm belief that mankind needed a unifying system of thought that could motivate action and change. Transhumanism was also an attempt to unite a more traditional humanistic view of the human as containing some form of core essence The evolutionary biologist Julian Huxley (1887–1975) attempted to promote a “religion for the future,” which he would come to refer to as Transhumanism.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Yttersta domen blev det favoriserade motivet då man under 1700-talet dekorerade de västsvenska kyrkornas innertak. VARFÖR kom just helvetesdetaljen att uppta allt större utrymme? Syndens straff utvisas här som en evig vistelse i ett kvalfyllt helvete. Snart var det stort nog att symboliskt rymma hela församlingen. Härifrån rungar varningar, hot skallar medan eldsprutand
A methodology for estimating the carbon balance across Scandinavian forests using remote sensing is presented. By estimating the gross primary production (GPP) and the ecosystem respiration (ER), and thereby, the net ecosystem exchange (NEE), using parameters that are routinely retrieved from satellite, it is possible to implement an operational model for obtaining large scale NEE. GPP is successf
Background: The aim of this study is to analyze longitudinally, based on four measurements at intervals of eight years, the annual effect of age group and birth cohort on regular exercise in the Swedish population from 1980-1981 to 2004-2005. Methods: We followed a randomly drawn subsample of individuals aged 16-63 years, interviewed by professional interviewers, from the Swedish Annual Level of L
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattningAvhandlingen tog sin utgångspunkt i nödvändigheten att organisationer ständigt måste vara flexibla för att kunna bemästra krav på variation och oväntade händelser. En organisations förmåga att snabbt anpassa såväl antalet anställda som de anställdas arbetsinsats på ett smidigt sätt kan vara en förutsättning för flexibilitet. Förutom kapacitet till förändring är deThis thesis assumed the necessity of organizations having to be flexible in respect to mastering variation and unexpected circumstances. Organizations’ ability to alter the number of workers, or to vary the intensity of workers’ workload in a smooth way, is generally a prerequisite for flexibility. In addition to being able to change, organizations must also have the capacity to obtain development
Popular AbstractAvhandlingen presenterar, från ett fenomenologiskt perspektiv, interaktionen mellan naturvetenskapens kunskap och annan kunskap, här kallad "vardagskunskap". Utgångspunkten i presentationen är människans existens. Två aspekter av denna lyfts fram som centrala - att människan är kroppsligt utsatt för, berörd av, något hon inte har full kontroll över, samt att hon alltid agerar utifrThe dissertation presents a phenomenological view on the interaction between science knowledge and prescientific knowledge. Drawing on Husserl, Merleau-Ponty and Lévinas the human bodily grounded existence is described, the central feature of this existence being its responsivity to the Other. This responsivity is presented as the starting point for the production of science knowledge, thus making
The European Union (EU) has laid down very clear objectives for the reduction of greenhouse gases in the hope that it will prevent or mitigate climate change. Political incentives are used to make the power industry adopt changes in order to reach these EU targets. In this thesis, some solutions that could help power companies meet the EU objectives are evaluated. Thermodynamic models have been de
Dying in older persons precedes often by a prolonged period of frailty and multimorbidity. The global increase in the aged population means more death at an older age and highlights the need to integrate palliative care in elderly care. Knowledge-based palliative care is lacking outside the specialist units, for which reason there is insufficient access to palliative care for older persons. Thus t
Kultur och värderingar är ett allt mer omdiskuterat område i urvalsprocesser samtidigt som egenskaper och kompetenser krävs för att en person ska betraktas som kvalificerad för en anställning. Valet av frågor och bedömningsunderlag ligger till grund för anställningsbeslut och är därför av stor betydelse i intervjusammanhang. I denna studie genomfördes en attitydmätning för att undersöka vad yrkesvCulture and values are terms that are currently more and more discussed in recruitment processes, whilst at the same time personal traits and competences are required in order to be qualified for an employment. The choice of interview questions and assessment grounds are the foundation of the employment decision and therefore of the utter most importance in an interview context. In this research s
Allt sedan Öresundsbron öppnades år 2000 har både pendlingen över landsgränserna och integrationen i Öresundsregionen gått stadigt framåt. Det pendlas dagligen fram och tillbaka från bostaden i det ena landet till arbetet i det andra, framför allt är pendling över landsgränsen från bostaden i Sverige till arbetet i Danmark omfattande. Det finns alltid en risk för att en inkomsttagare blir dubbelThe commuting and the integration in the Öresund region have progressed ever since the bridge between Denmark and Sweden opened up for traffic in the year of 2000. Every day commuting across the border from the residence in one country to the place of work in the other country is taking place. The commuting between the residence in Sweden to the place of work in Denmark is the far most frequent.

This master’s thesis has been conducted in collaboration with Remote Aero. The aim is to determine important design principles when developing an interface to be used for drone control in emergency situations. To determine the end user, an interview was conducted with the stakeholder. The end user was defined as an individual that works as a sea rescue volunteer at the Swedish Sea Rescue Society w
Even though the first coronavirus pandemic was registered in 1965, SARS-CoV-2 was better acknowledged when it caused the worldwide pandemic in 2019 in which millions of individuals lost their lives. Due to its facile way of spreading from one individual to another, the number of infected cases has gone up to more than 750 million to this day. DENV is a very dangerous virus due to its asymptomatic

Different actors identified the circular economy (CE) as a solution to tackle global environmental challenges and foster sustainable growth. Transitioning to CE requires new circular business models (CBM), which create, capture, and deliver value, based on the principles of the CE. It is, however, a challenging process for companies see through the wide variety of CBM types and to identify which C
Purpose: The purpose of this exploratory qualitative research is: First, to explore what brands understand by metaverse and how they perform branding in this new context. Second, to investigate how established constructivist approaches to branding are performed within the metaverse. And finally, to define what decentralized branding is and how it is linked to a decentralized metaverse. Additionall
Accelerated deforestation represents a major global environmental concern. Over the last decades Cambodia has experienced a drastic decrease in forest cover and measures to halt deforestation have not been as effective as planned. In order to support reforestation, as well as appropriate sustainable forest management practices, two aspects need to be taken into account: (a) the ecosystem functioni
Tänk om vi kunde ersätta dagens hydrauliska lösningar med elektriska och skapa mer energieffektiva system i dagens moderna arbetsmaskiner? Vilka möjligheter och utmaningar uppstår då man ersätter pumpar och hydraulik med batterier och elektronik? Den pågående elektrifieringen av fordon inom många sektorer skapar nya möjligheter att utmana och ersätta traditionella lösningar med hjälp av modern teExcavators have traditionally been diesel driven with hydraulic actuators, but with the ongoing electrification of vehicles, smaller electric excavators are getting more common. Larger electrical excavators are still in a prototyping or early production stage but can be expected to grow. The electrification of construction equipment creates new possibilities to replace previous hydraulic- with ele
Domain-specific languages are used in numerous problem domains, e.g. database handling, robot programming and numerical calculations. The main advantage of using such languages is the ease with which a problem within the domain can be expressed in the language. The resulting programs are easier to debug and maintain, and consist of higher quality code since the language constructs are close to the
