The suppression of the effects of anisotropy on a pendulum by use of a rotating mount was initially envisaged by Léon Foucault, based on his observations of the vibrations of a rod clamped in a lathe. However, the method seems to never have been tried due to the practical difficulties involved. We report a computational study of the stabilisation o...
Are some scholars more equal than others? Surely, no. But some are more visible than others. What lends “Some,” this “extra visibility?” Of course, some (get to) write more and “better” than others. But why? Location is a significant factor, with scholars from the Global North often receiving more citations and reliance in copyright-related researc...

The introduction outlines the Socratic and Stoic foundations of Seneca’s ethics. The next section focuses on the interpretation of passages from the Letters that remin...
This thesis develops a detailed examination of the claims made by two key contemporary political philosophers — Michel Foucault and Giorgio Agamben — concerning the relationship between sovereignty and biopolitics. I argue that both Foucault and Agamben use the concept of sovereignty in two distinct, yet interrelated meanings. First of all, they un...
L’objet central de la thèse a été d’identifier en quoi la prévention des risques professionnels répond ou non aux besoins des activités de service et de spécifier les points d’inadéquation entre ces deux éléments. L’hypothèse étant que ceux-ci sont liés à une prévention fondée initialement pour répondre à des problématiques industrielles, là où les...
Syftet med det här arbetet är att belysa de maktuttryck som kan skönjas i formuleringar rörande individens ansvar, rättigheter och skyldigheter i läroplaner samt kursplaner för ämnet samhällskunskap för åren 1980, 1994, 2011 och 2022. Utifrån Foucaults definition av makt som processer där individer formas utifrån det handlingsutrymme de erbjuds vil...
This thesis engages Michel Foucault’s late work on ancient philosophy in relation to his earlier investigations of modern forms of government and events in his political present. Beginning with a reinterpretation of the function of style in Foucault’s oeuvre, it demonstrates that the ancient notion of the care of the self – the style of existence –...
Vård av svårt sjuka döende människor innefattar fysiska, psykiska, sociala och existentiella aspekter. En vårdform som beaktar detta är hospice. Tidigare forskning visar att socionomers arbetsfält är vitt och brett och saknar jurisdiktion, socionomyrket saknar legitimation vilket medför att jurisdiktionen behöver skapas på annat sätt. Den svåra avg...
