1. En lösning som söker problem : Hur och varför lokala IT-policyer utvecklas i landsbygdskommuner
Sammanfattning : Information and communication technology (ICT) is regarded as an increasingly important factor of change. Geographically peripheral areas are said to gain most by using ICT, since it could make people feel that they are closer to the centre of society. LÄS MER
2. Bland grynnor och blindskär : Kommunikation, lärande och teknik i samarbetsprojektet Sjöräddning
Sammanfattning : The complexity and diversification that characterise society of today arereflected both in socio-technological systems and labour organisations but also in the renewal of the language a profession uses. The transfer of knowledge, meaning and understanding through communication between people is not neutral and unproblematic. LÄS MER
3. Matter that matters : A study of household routines in a process of changing water and sanitation arrangements
Sammanfattning : Our society changed, but the urban water and sanitation system of today is roughly the same as it was 100 years ago. The system is designed for, developed from and sustained by human activities, and has since its introduction affected household patterns of routine activities. LÄS MER
4. X-ray structure analysis of short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases
Sammanfattning : X-ray crystallography and site-directed mutagenesis were used to better understand the structure/function relationships in the family of short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR). This group of enzymes constitutes a protein family with at least 60 members with highly diverse functions in pro- and eukaryotes. LÄS MER
5. Direct numerical simulations of the rotating-disk boundary-layer flow
Sammanfattning : This thesis deals with the instabilities of the incompressible boundary-layer flow that is induced by a disk rotating in otherwise still fluid. The results presented are mostly limited to linear instabilities derived from direct numerical simulations (DNS) but with the objective that further work will focus on the nonlinear regime, providing greater insights into the transition route to turbulence.
