1. Locating Inter-Scandinavian Silent Film Culture : Connections, Contentions, Configurations
Sammanfattning : The thesis revisits film and film-culture history in Sweden, Denmark and Norway with a view to discourses and practices of the inter- and trans-Scandinavian in the silent era. Excluding the earliest films, but including the transition to synchronised sound, it covers the period of the 1900s to 1930 with emphasis on the 1910s and 1920s. LÄS MER
2. Prediction and Optimisation of Traffic Noise. A Study on Noise Barriers and Shielded Areas
Sammanfattning : The main contribution of noise levels in cities is today road traffic. The strongest source for all road vehicles is most often the tyre-road contact. This source position close to the ground is fortunate with respect to secondary noise abatement measures, such as absorbing road surfaces or noise barriers. LÄS MER
3. Clinical, biochemical and morphological aspects of cervical ripening in the first trimester
Sammanfattning : Background: The uterine cervix has the ability to be transformed from being a rigid organ in non-pregnant women to become a loose structure that dilates and allows passage of the foetus at parturition. This process, cervical ripening, has been described similar to an inflammatory reaction of the extracellular matrix involving activation of inflammatory cytokines, matrix metalloproteinases and breakdown of the collagen framework.

4. Treatment of obstructive sleep apnea with a mandibular advancement device
Sammanfattning : Obstructive sleep apnea is associated with snoring, excessive daytime sleepiness, hypertension and an increased risk of early death.The aims of the present studies were to evaluate the short-term and longterm effects on sleep apnea and the tolerability of a one-piece, individually- designed mandibular advancement device.

5. Aerothermal Investigation of an Intermediate Turbine Duct
Sammanfattning : Intermediate turbine ducts are used to guide the flow in turbofan engines from the short-radius high-pressure turbine to the large-radius low-pressure turbine. The demand for more efficient and silent jet engines and with a reduced environmental impact requires turbofans with increasingly higher by-pass ratios. LÄS MER
