1. Laboratory method for the study of moisture-induced waviness in paper
Sammanfattning : Paper that is subjected to moisture undergoes dimensional changes. It expands during moistening and shrinks during drying. When the paper is under tension between rollers, the effects are complex since shrinkage and expansion are restricted in the width direction. Waves can then appear on the paper web. LÄS MER
2. The Lie of the Land: Gender, Farm Work, and Land in a Rural Vietnamese Village
Sammanfattning : This anthropological study investigates ways in which perceptions of gender intersect with the everyday dealings of land and farming practices in a village in the northern part of Vietnam. The point of departure for this study is a desire to take a closer look at how processes of gendering actually take place and become meaningful on a day-to-day basis. LÄS MER
3. Baggy paper webs : Effect of uneven moisture and grammage profiles in different process steps
Sammanfattning : One of the problems encountered in paper converting is caused by the occurrence of "baggy webs", which essentially is when the tension profile of the paper web is uneven. In an area with low tension the paper is longer, which results in bagginess. LÄS MER
4. Encountering Environments. Natural conditions for subsistence and trade at Monte Polizzo, Sicily, 650-550 BC
Sammanfattning : The overall aim of this thesis is to deepen our knowledge about indigenous western Sicilians commonly called the Elymians and, ultimately, to recognise them as independent actors in Sicilian history. A vital part of this endeavour is to assess the Elymian role in regional trade and to evaluate the subsistence challenges they faced. LÄS MER
5. Spatial distribution of snow in Antarctica and other glacier studies using ground-penetrating radar
Sammanfattning : The overall aim of this thesis is to develop and exemplify the use of ground-penetrating radar (GPR) within the field of glaciology. The main focus is on the spatial distribution of snow in Dronning Maud Land, East Antarctica. LÄS MER
