Dans cette thèse, nous nous intéressons à un point quantique<br />connecté à trois réservoirs. Le nuage Kondo se développe<br />essentiellement dans le troisième réservoir, fortement couplé au point<br />quantique, alors que les deux autres réservoirs, faiblement couplés au<br />point quantique, servent à sonder le système par des mesures de<br />transport.<br />Après avoir modélisé une telle géométrie triterminale, nous<br />avons calculé la matrice de conductance à température nulle par la<br />théorie des liquides de Fermi.<br />Dans le reste de la thèse, nous nous sommes intéressés au cas<br />où le troisième réservoir est de taille finie, ce qui confère à sa densité d'état une structure en pics.<br />Dans un premier temps, nous avons étudié le système par le<br />groupe de renormalisation perturbatif et nous avons calculé la<br />température Kondo, principale échelle d'énergie du problème.<br />Ensuite, nous avons calculé la matrice de conductance du<br />système dans différents régimes de température. Pour des températures<br />très grandes devant la température Kondo, nous avons utilisé une<br />approche perturbative. Pour des températures très petites devant la<br />température Kondo, nous avons utilisé une théorie de type liquides de<br />Fermi. Et dans le régime intermédiaire, nous avons utilisé une méthode<br />numérique appelée théorie des bosons esclaves en champ moyen. Dans ce<br />dernier régime a également été menée à terme une analyse<br />spectroscopique de la densité d'état du point quantique.

Abstract The focus of this essay is the american director Wes Anderson and the use of colour in his films. I also put some focus on colour as a neglected element in film studies, and what has caused this neglect. In my own research, I have analysed three of Anderson's films: Bottle Rocket (1996), The Royal Tenenbaums (2001) and The Darjeeling Limited (2007). To get a broad sense of a films use of colour, I have investigated the colour scheme, the colours of the costumes, as well as colour patterns. I have also interpreted the symbolism related to certain colours and then used the results of the analyses to answer the question; "how does Wes Anderson use colour, and in which film is this most apparent?" A very generalizing answer to this question, is that Anderson use colour as a means of signifying the characters' feelings and ambitions, and also their relations to the themes of the films. He does this by connecting symbolic values to certain colours and makes these colours stand out in certain scenes and in the characters' clothes. The film that best shows this use of colour is The Royal Tenenbaums. In short, this essay will hopefully bring some understanding of how colours are used in the films of Wes Anderson, but also open up the eyes of the readers to the importance of the neglected element itself; colour.

There is little consensus among scholars as to what Nietzsche’s “perspectivism” is or what it entails. I will focus on a limited number of Nietzsche’s commentators, describing and commenting upon the writings of Brian Leiter, R. Lanier Anderson, Maudemarie Clark, Christoph Cox, and John Wilcox. Each commentator provides insight into the problems generated by the interpretations previous commentators have given, while simultaneously generating different problems within these newer interpretations. I hope to draw together the salvageable elements of each of these five interpretations in order to alleviate some general interpretive problems. My own interpretation is as follows: perspectivism entails the two positions ‘knowledge coherentism’ and ‘truth constructivism.’ ‘Knowledge coherentism’ is the need for coherence within a system of knowledge. This position saves perspectivism from relativism. ‘Truth constructivism’ is the claim that we humans intersubjectively create truth; this entails a rejection of the dichotomy of the real and the apparent.

This thesis seeks to demonstrate that although Laurie Anderson’s performance works are technologically driven and often involve gender play, seemingly transgressing the gender binary, ultimately she reinscribes traditional gender norms. On the one hand, Anderson has been a pioneer in the use of electronic technology, which is significant considering she is a woman and electronics is a male-dominated arena; on the other hand, her ambiguously- gendered cyborg persona, which does often raise awareness about gender stereotypes, ultimately reinscribes traditional gender norms. Although I consider these issues as they pertain specifically to Anderson, the significance of this project lies in the broader picture. Are there limits to gender performativity? Is it possible to break traditional gender norms? Must gender norms constantly reinscribe themselves regardless of new technology? As gender norms are deeply rooted in society, they are difficult to escape, as Anderson’s work demonstrates.

Uppsatsen syfte är att undersöka mötet mellan feministisk religionsfilosofi och frågan om religiös mångfald. Utgångspunkten för uppsatsen är religionsfilosofiska texter av Pamela Sue Anderson och Grace Jantzen och dessa texter får här representera och ligga till grund för en feministisk religionsfilosofi. Som representant för det filosofiska samtalet om religiös mångfald använder jag mig av Mikael Stenmarks översikt över den typologi som präglar det filosofiska samtalet om religiös mångfald. Uppsatsens frågeställning lyder: Vad kan en feministisk religionsfilosofi som tar sin utgångspunkt i Grace Jantzens och Pamela Sue Andersons religionsfilosofiska texter bidra med till det filosofiska samtalet om religiös mångfald? Genom att läsa Andersons och Jantzens litteratur svarar jag för det första på hur en feministisk religionsfilosofi som tar sin utgångspunkt i Andersons och Jantzens texter skulle kunna se ut. För det andra undersöker jag hur en feministisk religionsfilosofi förhåller sig till det filosofiska samtalets typologi (exklusivism, inklusivism och pluralism) vad gäller religiös mångfald. Slutligen svarar jag på vad en feministisk religionsfilosofi kan bidra med till det filosofiska samtalet om religiös mångfald. Ett första bidrag kan innebära en medvetenhet och erfarenhet om mångfalden som finns ibland oss. Ett andra bidrag kan innebära en diskurskritik och en medvetenhet av att religionen inte går att separera från samhälleliga normer och diskurser. Ett tredje bidrag kan handla om fantasi och föreställningsförmåga som strategi. På grund av globalisering, migration och kommunikation som snabbt tar oss över jordklotet uppstår möten mellan människor med olika erfarenheter, traditioner, kulturer och religioner. Detta innebär nya utmaningar som inte bör lösas genom att dela in människor i påstått homogena grupper och försöka lösa konflikter och oenighet mellan dessa grupper. Den feministiska religionsfilosofin med dess utmaningar - att granska maktstrukturer, söka alternativa bilder och våga göra nya tolkningar av religioners funktioner och betydelser i ljuset av feministisk teori - riktar blicken mot mellanmänskliga relationer, oavsett religionstillhörighet.

In order to make statistical inference, that is drawing conclusions from a sample to describe a population, it is crucial to know the correct distribution of the data. This paper focused on censored data from the normal distribution. The purpose of this paper was to answer whether we can test if data comes from a censored normal distribution. This by using normality tests and tests designed for censored data and investigate if we got correct size of these tests. This has been carried out with simulations in the program R for left censored data. The results indicated that with increasing censoring normality tests failed to accept normality in a sample. On the other hand the censoring tests met the requirements with increasing censoring level, which was the most important conclusion in this paper.
