In this paper I consider whether eudamonism—i.e. the thesis that the ultimate aim of human life and conduct is the attainment of happiness and that the achievement of this goal is closely linked to the acquisition and exercise of moral virtue and tranquillity of the soul—could serve as a framework for a theory of rights. I argue that the eudaimonist’s chances to ground a theory of rights from with
Sheep and goats are some of the most important animals in prehistoric Scandinavia. The habitus of the animals was used and transformed into cultural categories. Owing to their important and long-term utility they were ritualised during the pre-Christian periods. The role of these animals and the attitudes towards them in and beyond Norse paganism is discussed with habitus perspectives applied to t
Syftet med studien är att undersöka om investeringsstrategin ”Dogs of the Dow” har genererat överavkastning på Stockholmsbörsen under perioden 1988-2015, jämfört med relevant index. Avkastningen jämförs med hänsyn till transaktionskostnader, skatter och risk. Författarna undersöker om det finns en statistiskt signifikant skillnad i avkastningen och risken mellan investeringsstrategin och jämförels
Beundran för Maos Kina och inte minst för kulturrevolutionen betydde mycket för vänsteruppsvinget under 1960-talets senare hälft. Den växande konflikten mellan maoismen och sovjetkommunismen kom i hög grad att influera den svenska vänsterns utveckling och till sist sönderfall i olika fraktioner. Mao i Sverige följer den svenska maoismens utveckling steg för steg. Förutom att gå kronologiskt fram l
Friction stir welding (FSW) is a solid-state welding process where metals are joined without melting. Heat is generated by friction between a rotating non-consumable tool and the work-piece material, and by mechanical deformation of the material. The process, invented in 1991, provides several benefits over arc welding and other fusion processes: No filler material has to be added, low energy cons
Xilinx FPGAs offer both Block SelectRAM and distributed RAM for embedded memory. To investigate the impact of utilizing such opportunities, some variations on the hardware implementation of a SNOW 2.0 stream cipher IP core have been designed. We find the ratio of throughput and effective slice usage to be close to 3.5. This allows a flexible trade-off between speed and area consumption, with a thr
The argument in this paper is that Hobbes’ theory of freedom in Leviathan allows for four ways of being free to act – corporal freedom by nature, freedom from obligation by nature, the freedom to disobey, and the freedom of no-rule – each corresponding to a particular absence, some of which make sense only in the civil state. Contrary to what some have claimed, this complexity does not commit Hobb
