Deliberative Citizens Arenas in Europe: Questions of Democratic Legitimacy

Although the theory of deliberative democracy suggests that deliberation among the citizens could improve the quality of democracy making it more legitimate, rarely the question of legitimacy was directly approached within the research on deliberative are nas of citizens. In fact, most of deliber...

Dark energy and Structure Formation in the Universe

Cosmic structure formation is one of the main tools to understand the nature of the yet unknown dark energy component of the universe. In the linear regime of structure formation, the basic features of dark energy can be easily extracted, though they are usually degenerate among different models...

Climatic variability and latitudinal patterns in breeding phenology of an obligate brood parasite

Current climate change is having impacts across trophic chains and the interactions among parasites and their hosts are likely to be affected as well. In addition, the rate of temperature rise is not spatially coherent and this provides a good opportunity to study the spatial nature of the host-...

Long water waves in fjords: dynamics of the moving shoreline

Entry of sea waves into narrow bays, such as fjords, and river mouths usually leads to an intensification of wave regimes, which is well-known by various photos of tidal and tsunami bores. For certain bathymetry configurations the wave can propagate witho ut internal reflection even in the cases,...

Norwegian-Spanish cooperation to study human disturbance on brown bears. Applications for the conservation and management of bears in Europe

Understanding the effects of human activities on wildlife is challenging for large carnivores. During my PhD I studied effects of human activities on the behavior of brown bears, which showed fine-scale behavioral responses to human activities. Now I am l eading a project to compare bear behavior...

Meaning Beyond Truth-Conditions: From Vagueness to Linguistic Interpretation

In formal semantics, the meaning of a sentence is its truth-conditions. But that is not uncontroversial. There is a vast recent literature on what could be called the underdeterminacy thesis, which basically says that meaning underdetermines truth-conditi ons. And there are individual areas of re...
