1. 1. Mapping the concept of industrialized bridge construction : potentials and obstacles

   Författare :Johan Larsson; Christina Claeson-Jonsson; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Structural Engineering; Konstruktionsteknik;

   Sammanfattning : Improving productivity is a central challenge in most industries and so also in construction. In many countries, such as Great Britain and US (Egan, 1998; Huang et al., 2009; Teichholz, 2001), governmental reports and research publications have highlighted the slow growth of productivity in the construction industry.

3. 2. Developing semi-empirical ab initio based potentials in materials modeling

   Författare :Jie Fu; Anatoly Belonoshko; Michael Odelius; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Fysik; Physics;

   Sammanfattning : Ab initiocalculation based on density function theory (DFT) is an accu-rate and efficient method for modelling material properties. It is performedby solving the Shrödinger equations with a few assumptions to obtain thephysical properties of the system. It is very computational demanding whendealing with large systems or long-time simulations. LÄS MER

4. 3. Sick of smells : Empirical findings and a theoretical framework for chemical intolerance

   Författare :Linus Andersson; Steven Nordin; Monique Smeets; Umeå universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Chemical Intolerance; Unexplained Medical Symptoms; Environmental Intolerance; Event-related potentials; functional magnetic resonance imaging; psychophysics; sensitization; habituation; Psychology; psykologi;

   Sammanfattning : Chemical intolerance (CI) is a term that refers to the surprisingly common phenomenon of persons getting ill from everyday chemicals. Although seemingly similar to asthma and allergies, CI sufferers do not react to exposures with increased histamine release. LÄS MER

5. 4. Youths' political efficacy : sources, effects and potentials for political equality

   Författare :Sofia Sohl; Erik Amnå; Cecilia Arensmeier; Simone Abendschön; Örebro universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Political Efficacy; Political Socialization; Youth; Political Equality; Political Participation; School; Political Science; Statskunskap;

   Sammanfattning : The aim of this dissertation is to increase knowledge of political efficacy,both theoretically and empirically. A thorough theoretical discussion iscombined with empirical studies of the development of political efficacy and of its effects on political participation. The results are also discussed in the light of political equality. LÄS MER

7. 5. Simulated "real" worlds : Actions mediated through computer game play in science education

   Författare :Elisabet M. Nilsson; Malmö högskola; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; computer game play; science education; computer games; game-based learning; mediated action; empirical studies; Agent O; SimCity 4; computer game play science education computer games game-based learning; Agent O; empirical studies; SimCity 4; mediated action;

   Sammanfattning : Over the last decade, a great variety of visionary ideas and beliefs have been brought forward, regarding the potentials of using computer games as a tool for learning and mediation in educational settings. This thesis aims at contributing to research in this field, by empirically exploring what happens when students play and reflect on their computer game play in science education. LÄS MER
