This thesis is about the problem of how sensory qualities relate to neural states or processes. I shall try to present an account of why dualism appears to be an attractive and intuitive position, but also point out why dualistic intuitions may be misleading. A relatively common view in philosophy of mind is that accounts of how sensory qualities relate to neural states and processes involve an ex
This doctoral dissertation presents a range of results concerning efficient algorithms and data structures for string processing, including several schemes contributing to sequential data compression. It comprises both theoretic results and practical implementations. We study the suffix tree data structure, presenting an efficient representation and several generalizations. This includes augmenti
In this paper we present a working hypothesis that there is need to further analyze Botswana’s colonial era if we are to understand several aspects of contemporary economic structures. Our focus is on identifying the roots of post-independence high levels of inequality. We have constructed social tables for 1936-1964, covering all but the very first decades of colonial rule, and based on them we h

In this thesis tactical intelligence collection is studied. The aim is to investigate how the intelligence collection is affected by using a gender perspective. In the study interviews with experienced collectors are made and the data is analyzed using content analysis. It is found that gender affects which type of intelligence can be collected and how the collector can act in a tactical situation
