1. 1. A Utopian Quest for Universal Knowledge : Diachronic Histories of Botanical Collections between the Sixteenth Century and the Present

   Författare :Anna Svensson; Sabine Höhler; Peder Roberts; Sverker Sörlin; Dániel Margócsy; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; history of botany; utopia; Oxford University Botanic Garden; pressed plants in books; botanical collection; classification; herbarium; Global Plants; digitisation; database; conservation; natural dyeing; botanikhistoria; utopi; Oxford University Botanic Garden; pressade växter i böcker; botaniska samlingar; klassifikation; herbarium; Global Plants; digitalisering; databas; växtfärgning; Historiska studier av teknik; vetenskap och miljö; History of Science; Technology and Environment;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis explores the history of botany as a global collection-based science by tracing parallels between utopian traditions and botanical collecting, from their sixteenth-century beginnings to the present. A range of botanical collections, such as gardens, herbaria and classification systems, have played a central role in the struggle to discover a global or universal scientific order for the chaotic, diverse and locally shaped kingdom of plants.

3. 2. Family studies of schizophrenia and pregnancy outcomes

   Författare :Anna Svensson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Alternating logistic regression; environment; familial aggregation; fertility; generalized estimating equations; genes; obstetric complications; preterm birth; siblings; schizophrenia; small for gestational age; variance components;

   Sammanfattning : Why do psychiatric diseases run in families? Why do some women tend to have similar obstetric complications in subsequent pregnancies? The overall aim of this thesis was to investigate how genes and environments contribute to the aggregation of schizophrenia and adverse pregnancy outcomes in some families. Further, we also studied the fertility in families of patients with schizophrenia. LÄS MER

4. 3. Nanocomposites made from nanoporous cellulose fibre

   Författare :Anna Svensson; Lars Wågberg; Eva Malmström Jonsson; Gunnar Westman; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis explores how to use the dry nanoporous structure of cellulosic fibres in new types of composite materials. A large effort was also given on how to correctly characterize the structure of fibres where the wet structure has been preserved also in the dry state. LÄS MER

5. 4. Phase Equilibria and Structures of Oppositely Charged Polymers and Surfactants in Water

   Författare :Anna Svensson; Fysikalisk kemi; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; self diffusion; PFG NMR; hexagonal; cubic Pm3n; liquid crystals; SAXS; polymer; counterion; complex; polyelectrolyte; surfactant; Monte Carlo simulations; Physical chemistry; Fysikalisk kemi;

   Sammanfattning : A new approach to the study of aqueous mixtures of oppositely charged polymers and surfactants has been introduced. Pure polyion-surfactant ion complex salts have been synthesized and used as the point of departure. The elimination of the simple ions reduces the number of components in the mixtures, thus greatly simplifying the system. LÄS MER

7. 5. Almost There : Approaches to Closure in the Works of Sylvia Plath

   Författare :Anna Svensson; Rolf Lundén; Erik Löfroth; Steven Gould Axelrod; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :English language; Sylvia Plath; closure; endings; death; creative process; poetry; journals; life writing; Engelska; English; engelska;

   Sammanfattning : This study of Sylvia Plath’s writings investigates aspects of representations of life and life stories. It is composed of three distinct analyses, the shared feature being their focus on the connection between narrative closure and closure in life. LÄS MER
