6. Numerical Modelling of Self-Compacting Concrete Flow : Discrete and Continuous Approach
Sammanfattning : With the advent of Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) that flows freely, under the soleinfluence of gravity, the wish for hassle-free and predictable castings even in complexcases, spurged the simulation of concrete flow as a means to model and predictconcrete workability. To achieve complete and reliable form filling with smoothsurfaces of the concrete, the reinforced formwork geometry must be compatible withthe rheology of the fresh SCC. LÄS MER
7. Learning Sequential Decision Rules in Control Design: Regret-Optimal and Risk-Coherent Methods
Sammanfattning : Engineering sciences deal with the problem of optimal design in the face of uncertainty. In particular, control engineering is concerned about designing policies/laws/algorithms that sequentially take decisions given unreliable data. This thesis addresses two particular instances of optimal sequential decision making for two different problems. LÄS MER
8. Land rent, capital, rate of profit : A critique of Harvey’s model of urban land rent
Sammanfattning : This study critically evaluates David Harvey’s model of urban land rent and its centrality in his explanation of the material forces that underlie and limit urban land policies, strategies, planning decisions, and investment choices. Harvey emphasizes structural forces of capital in relating economic urbanization processes to uneven patterns of capitalist development, recurrent economic crises of overaccumulation, and the need to produce spaces of accumulation to absorb surplus capital that creates crises.

9. While We Wait : Democratization, State and Citizenship among Young Men in Tunisia's Interior Regions
Sammanfattning : This dissertation has sought to develop new ways of understanding democratization, and by extension democracy, by attempting to capture the experience of democratic transitions. The thesis has investigated the Tunisian democratization processes that followed the overthrow of Ben Ali in 2011. LÄS MER
10. I säng och säte : relationer mellan kvinnor och män i 1600-talets Småland
Sammanfattning : What did people think about the relationship between a man and a woman in Early Modern Sweden? Did they consider love and the parties' free choice to be of any importantance in the making of a marriage? What happened when marriages were falling apart, how common were divorces? I also discuss why sexuality was restricted, and how it affected women and men. What effects did changes in the legislation have? In discussing these questions my theoretical perspective is influenced by New Cultural History. LÄS MER
