1. 1. The Bloch-Messiah theorem and its application to overlaps

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk fysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

   Author : Frieder Selisko; [2023]
   Keywords : Physics and Astronomy;

   Abstract : The Bogoliubov transformation is the starting point for the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov method and thus for many theoretical approaches that describe heavy nuclei. This transformation is based on two matrices, denoted by U and V, which are called Bogoliubov amplitudes. In this paper the properties of these matrices are investigated. READ MORE

3. 2. Lucas and Penrose vs. Computationalism: A Refutation of the Gödel-arguments

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Teoretisk filosofi

   Author : Leonard Nygren Löhndorf; [2021]
   Keywords : Computationalism; Mechanism; Kurt Gödel; logic; incompleteness; metamathematics; Philosophy and Religion;

   Abstract : John Lucas and Roger Penrose attempted to refute Computationalism, the theory that the human mind is a computational system. They did so by utilizing meta-mathematical proofs by Kurt Gödel. READ MORE

4. 3. Bodies, current vehicles, or embodied agents? : An anthropological study of the human body and the human condition in an age of Transhumanism

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för kulturantropologi och etnologi

   Author : Ingrid Bäckström; [2020]
   Keywords : Transhumanism; Body; Human Condition; Ontology; Cryonics; Mind Uploading; Primo Posthuman;

   Abstract : Transhumanism is a philosophy and a contemporary movement dedicated to improving the human condition in various ways. This thesis explores how the transhumanist movement contributes to the contemporary conceptualization or reconceptualization of the human body and the human condition. READ MORE

5. 4. Towards Identification of Effective Parameters in Heterogeneous Media

   University essay from

   Author : David Johansson; [2020]
   Keywords : parameter identification; multiscale modelling; homogenization theory; partial differential equations; inverse modelling;

   Abstract : In this thesis we study a parameter identification problem for a stationary diffusion equation posed in heterogeneous media. This problem is closely related to the Calderón problem with anisotropic conductivities. The anisotropic case is particularly difficult and is ill-posed both in regards to uniqueness of solution and stability on the data. READ MORE

6. 5. A Critique of the Learning Brain

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Avdelningen för teoretisk filosofi

   Author : Joakim Olsson; [2020]
   Keywords : Learning Brain; Learning; Cognitivism; Representational Theory of Mind; Computational Theory of Mind; Mentalism; Mind-Brain Identity; Computer Analogy; Scientism; Anthropological Holism; Enactivism; Intentionality; Intentional Action; Phenomenology; Philosophy of Mind; Cognitive Science; Capabilities; Practical Knowledge; Bildung; Wolf Singer; Kurt W. Fischer; Jerry Fodor; Vincent Descombes; Ludwig Wittgenstein; Elizabeth Anscombe; Evan Thompson;

   Abstract : The guiding question for this essay is: who is the learner? The aim is to examine and criticize one answer to this question, sometimes referred to as the theory of the learning brain, which suggests that the explanation of human learning can be reduced to the transmitting and storing of information in the brain’s formal and representational architecture, i.e. READ MORE
