1. Enhancement of the Tribological Properties of Plasma Sprayed Alumina
Sammanfattning : Thermal spraying is the name of a large group of coating deposition techniques used to deposit thick layers for a variety of applications. The principle is to melt the material, and rapidly propel the droplets towards a substrate where they flatten and solidify. When properly used, the substrate is not significantly heated. LÄS MER
2. Regulation of Breathing under Different Pulmonary Conditions
Sammanfattning : The breathing pattern of preterm infants is immature and is associated with a variety of reflexes. In a patient on the ventilator these reflexes interfere with spontaneous breathing. A better understanding of the immature control of breathing could lead to further improvements in ventilatory techniques. LÄS MER
3. Prognostic role of the tumour microenvironment in esophago-gastric, pancreatic and periampullary adenocarcinoma: B cells and beyond
Sammanfattning : Cancer development depends on cells aquiring a skillset of limitless growth and finally invasive properties to allow for metastasis, as summarised by the six hallmarks of cancer. Recently four more hallmarks have been added: genomic instability, deregulating cellular metabolism, tumour-promoting inflammation and avoiding immune destruction. LÄS MER
4. Landfill mining approach for resource recovery from glass dumps into the circular economy
Sammanfattning : Landfills and open dumps have been the most cost-effective waste disposal option, resulting in over 500,000 landfills and dumps in the EU alone. They pose significant environmental and health threats due to emission of toxic gases and release of persistent contaminants to soil and groundwater, triggering a considerable global economic impact annually.

5. Changing practice by reform : the recontextualisation of the Bologna process in teacher education
Sammanfattning : The purpose of the thesis is to investigate a specific case of curriculum change; that of organizing teacher training courses around learner outcomes in line with the Bologna process. The investigation is an example of a practitioner research case study and looks at how official Bologna policy messages are re-interpreted and recontextualised at the local micro level. LÄS MER
