1. 1. Mellan nation och omvärld : debatt i Sverige om vetenskapens organisering och finansiering samt dess internationella och nationella aspekter under 1900-talets första hälft

   Författare :Henrik Brissman; Institutionen för kulturvetenskaper; []
   Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; boundary organisation; research; scientific relations; scientific ideological debate; scientific exchange; The Research Council of Social Sciences; The Fund of Human Sciences; The Medical Research Council; The Swedish Society of Medicine; research council; The Royal Academy of Engineering Sciences; professional organisation; internationalism; nationalism; financing of science; freedom of research;

   Sammanfattning : Between the nation and the surrounding world - Debate in Sweden regarding the organisation and financing of research and its international and national aspects during the first half of the twentieth century My thesis regards the attitude of the Swedish research society to research as a national and an international phenomenon during the period 1900-1950. My work relates to the question in which way the landscape of the research policy of the surrounding world has influenced Swedish research during this period. LÄS MER

3. 2. Enhanced Polarizing Neutron Optics with 11B4C Incorporation : SLD Tunability, Interface Refinement, and Elimination of Magnetic Coercivity

   Författare :Anton Zubayer; Fredrik Eriksson; Jens Birch; Naureen Ghafoor; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis explores novel strategies for improving Fe-based polarizing neutron optics, a critical part for improving neutron scattering methods to study materials science, physics, biology, medicine, chemistry and cultural heritage. Polarization analysis is important in uncovering data on magnetic domains, protein structures, molecular composition and orientation in biological systems, and ion-diffusion mechanisms that would otherwise be inaccessible.

4. 3. Environmentally Friendly Construction Processes Under Uncertainty : Assessment, Optimisation and Robust Decision-Making

   Författare :Kailun Feng; Weizhuo Lu; Thomas Olofsson; Geoffrey Qiping Shen; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Construction processes; environmental impacts; uncertain factors; decision-making; Byggproduktion och teknik; Construction Management and Building Technology;

   Sammanfattning : The construction processes of building and civil infrastructure are broadly recognised as large contributors to the environmental degradation, which cause environmental impacts directly and indirectly by massive energy use, intensive greenhouse emissions, and significant resources consumption. The report from Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences (IVA) and the Swedish Construction Federation (Byggföretagen) shows that the total carbon dioxide equivalents emitted per year from construction processes are the same size as emissions from all of the cars in Sweden, and more than that is generated by all lorries and busses.

5. 4. Teknikens befäl : En etnologisk studie av teknikuppfattning och civilingenjörer : [an ethnological study of the understandings of technology and engineers]

   Författare :Katarina Ek-Nilsson; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Ethnology; Technology; Masters of Engineering; Modernity; Class; Gender; Life- History scripts; Women s Strategies; Knowledge; Education; Etnologi; Ethnology; Etnologi; Etnologi; Ethnology;

   Sammanfattning : The purpose of this Thesis is to analyse technology as a domain for knowledge and cultural experience among Swedish engineers during the 20th century. The aim is to examine how the concept of technology and the engineering profession are related in literature and films as well as in biographies, written by engineers themselves. LÄS MER
