21. Multilingual Life in Dementia Care : Crossing Linguistic Boundaries and Cognitive Gap: Navigating Mutual Understanding
Sammanfattning : This dissertation presents empirical research in the field of multilingual communication in residential homes of people living with dementia. Prior research has emphasised the crucial function of a common language and culture between care workers and residents in such settings. LÄS MER
22. Towards Optimization of Railway Turnouts
Sammanfattning : The turnout (Switch & Crossing) is a vital component in railway networks as it provides flexibility to traffic operation by allowing trains to switch between tracks. The flexibility comes at a cost as the common lack of a transition curve in the diverging route together with the variation and discontinuities in rail profiles result in higher rail degradation rates than in regular track.

23. Optimisation of Railway Switches and Crossings
Sammanfattning : Methods for simulation-based optimisation of the design of railway turnouts (switches & crossings, S&C) are developed and demonstrated. Building on knowledge of dynamic wheel–rail interaction in turnouts, it is investigated how rail profile degradation can be reduced by the optimisation of geometry and component stiffness of the track superstructure.

24. Co-constructing Expertise : Competence Development through Work-Integrated e-Learning in joint Industry-University Collaboration
Sammanfattning : This thesis is inter-disciplinary and proceed from the ongoing challenges of the increased digitalization, automation and robotization that impact the manufacturing industry's emergent need of high-qualified practitioners. Digitalization also challenges universities to open up to external collaboration and to design blended e-learning targeting industry knowledge needs. LÄS MER
25. Praktiken im Zwischenraum : Transitorisches Schreiben bei Katja Lange-Müller
Sammanfattning : This thesis analyzes works by the contemporary German author Katja Lange-Müller, focusing on their representations of borders and in-between spaces. Thus, the thesis offers a new perspective on Lange-Müller’s work, which, in the few previous studies, has mainly been interpreted within the context of ‘subversive writing’ in the German Democratic Republic in the 1980s.
