Abstract:
From Aristotle’s theory of tragic katharsis to Brecht’s formulation of the Verfremdungseffekt, theorists of the theatre have long engaged with the question of what spectatorship entails. Such question has, directly or indirectly, extended to the investigation of acting. In the wake of Brecht’s critique of conventional theatre, emphasis has been put on the study of spectatorship from the point of view of its cultural determinants and its conscious cognitive aspects, while unconscious processes have been mostly ignored. In this thesis I take a psychoanalytic perspective to analyse theories of th

Firstly, we motivate our development by giving a split-context logic and type-theory, called dual intuitionistic linear logic (DILL), which is equivalent at the level of term equality to the familiar type-theory derived from intuitionist

The surface of animal cells is a thin layer composed of a lipid bilayer and a cytoskeleton. Cells control their shape dynamically by remodeling their cytoskeleton via active processes.

The Lagrangian formulation of the theory is implemented numerically to study large cortical deformations during cytokinesis.

During face-to-face meetings, humans use multimodal information, including verbal information, visual information, body language, facial expressions, and other non-verbal gestures. In contrast, during computer-mediated-communication (CMC), humans rely either on mono-modal information such as text-only, voice-only, or video-only or on bi-modal information by using audiovisual modalities such as video teleconferencing. Psychologically, the difference between the two lies in the level of the subjective experience of presence, where people perceive a reduced feeling of presence in the case of CMC.

Abstract:
The theories of gravity are one of the most important topics in theoretical physics and mathematical physics nowadays. The classical formulation of gravity uses the Hilbert-Einstein Lagrangian, which is a singular second-order Lagrangian; hence it requires a geometric theory for second-order field theories which leads to several difficulties. Another standard formulation is the Einstein-Palatini or Metric-Affine, which uses a singular first order Lagrangian. Much work has been done with the aim of establishing the suitable geometrical structures for describing classical field theories. In

Action Theories are versatile and well-studied knowledge representation formalisms for modelling dynamic domains. However, traditional action theories allow only the specification of definite world knowledge, that is, universal rules for which there are no exceptions. When modelling a complex domain for which no complete knowledge can be obtained, axiomatisers face an unpleasant choice: either they cautiously restrict themselves to the available definite knowledge and live with a limited usefulness of the axiomatisation, or they bravely model some general, defeasible rules as definite knowledg

The thesis makes use of the framework of action and life to consider four philosophical theories of mind, enunciated in the writings of Rene Descartes, David Hume, William James, and Thomas Nagel. Showing how each theory makes an appeal to action or life in order to attempt to provide a characterization of mind that is not too restrictive nor too lax is the concern of the extensive historical portion of the thesis. It is on the basis of the success or failure of these appeals to the mind's living experience of its own activity that the four theories are evaluated. By way of conclusion, the rep

The occurrence of higher-derivative terms both in classical and in quantum theories can be problematic. In case of impossibility of eliminating them by performing an integration by parts they give rise, in fact, to multiple problems, like extra unphysical degrees of freedom, negative unbounded energies and pathological negative norm states called ghosts. The possibility of curing them comes from a procedure developed by Jaén, Llosa and Molina in a classical Hamiltonian framework. It is applied when these terms are introduced as perturbative corrections to a healthy leading order theory multipl

Abstract:
L'objet de cette etude est de considerer le modele d'arbitrage dans l'environnement international; ceci afin de donner une alternative aux modeles internationaux d'equilibre des actifs financiers. Dans une premiere approche, nous avons mis en evidence que la relation fondamentale du modele d'arbitrage n'est pas exactement verifiee. Cependant, et malgre certaines critiques du modele d'arbitrage, celui-ci est coherent sur le plan theorique et de plus, il est falsifiable. Nous avons alors realise une analyse empirique de ce modele sur les echantillons d'actions de dix pays. Ce test indique que le

Abstract:
Automated planning as a satisfiability problem is a method developed in theearly nineties. It has some known disadvantages, such as its inefficient encod-ing of numbers. The field of Satisfiability Modulo Teories tries to connectalready established solvers for e.g. linear constraints into SAT-solvers in orderto make reasoning about numerical values more efficient. This thesis combines planning as satisfiability and SMT to perform efficientreasoning about actions that occupy realistic time in Temporal Action Logic,a formalism developed at Linköping University for reasoning about action andchang
