The higher-order thought theory of consciousness holds that a mental state is conscious when it is the intentional object of a higher-order thought (HOT). Often, the HOT is conceived to be essentially indexical. This means that the HOT somehow picks out the individual who tokens it. Sebas

Change in Japanese foreign and security policy has long been characterized as “incremental”. However, Japan’s response to Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine provides an opportunity to reconsider this paradigm. In the aftermath of the 2014 annexation of Crimea, then-Prime Minister Abe Shinzō chose not to put Crimea on the agenda, prioritizing instead relations with Russia. However, Prime Minister Ki
A solution to an ordinary differential equation may be stable or unstable. Let x = φ(t) be a solution of an autonomous differential equation x′ = Ax. The solution x = φ(t) with φ(0) = t0 is stable if every other solution ψ(t) with initial condition sufficiently close to φ(t) will remain close to φ(t) for all t > 0. For an autonomous system of linear differential equations, it is possible to determ
Climate-focused study abroad relying on high-emitting travel poses a dilemma between study abroad and emission reductions. This study employs the three spheres of transformation investigating this dilemma through coding syllabi (n=156,) surveying educators (n=9,) and interviewing (n=14) Climate Action Network for International Educators (CANIE) affiliates considering whether studying climate chang

The first part deals with a proposal by John Broome. Broome claims that our “homely intuitions” should be set aside in large number cases, just as our intuitions for building bridges should be set aside when spanning br

The COVID-19 pandemic revealed the fragility of the global food system and its existing inadequacies in achieving food security, providing jobs, and ensuring environmental sustainability on various regimes around the world. Through a qualitative thematic-textual analysis, this thesis uses a case study of New York City to identify themes of actor expectations, either explicit or implicit, on how to
År 1994 trädde Lagen om stöd och service till vissa funktionshindrade (1993:387) (LSS) som ett resultat av regeringens utredning.

Dessutom noterade utredningen att de insatser som erhölls enligt socialtjänsten och hälso- och sIn 1994, the Swedish law on certain disabled persons, came into effect as a result of the government’s inquiry. The inquiry was named “Handikappreformen” (in english: The Disability reform). The reform revealed disparities between individuals with disabilities and those without disabilities.
