  1. 1. From formal employment to street vending: Women’s room to maneuver and labor market decisions under conditions of export-orientation – the case of Penang, Malaysia

    Författare :Anja K. Franck; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; gender and trade; feminization of labor; female labor force participation; women’s work; gender at work; informal economy; hawking; street vending; Penang; Malaysia;

    Sammanfattning : This study is a compilation thesis consisting of an introduction and four separate papers. It is an inquiry into women’s working lives in Penang, Malaysia. The export-oriented development model adopted in Malaysia stimulated women’s large-scale entry to the formal labor force. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Topics on D-branes and Holography

    Författare :Mikael Smedbäck; Joseph Minahan; Anton Alekseev; Paolo Di Vecchia; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Theoretical physics; theoretical physics; string theory; D-branes; dualities; AdS CFT; spin chains; Bethe ansatz; boundary conformal field theory; conformal bootstrap; tachyon condensation; string field theory; loop quantum gravity; black holes; area spectrum; Hawking radiation; holographic principle; Teoretisk fysik; Physics; Fysik;

    Sammanfattning : We discuss various aspects of D-branes in string theory and holography in string theory and loop quantum gravity.One way to study D-branes is from a microscopic perspective, using conformal field theory techniques. For example, we investigate the question of how D-branes can be introduced into orbifolded theories. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Conformal Field Theory and the Holgoraphic Principle

    Författare :Jens Fjelstad; Örebro universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physics; Fysik;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis is based on five research papers with string theory as the least common denominator. The text is divided in two parts. The first part is an introduction to the constructions used in the papers; string theory, conformal field theory, topological field theory and three-dimensional gravity. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Linear response theory: from black holes to Weyl systems and back

    Författare :Jorge Laraña Aragón; Bo Sundborg; Lárus Thorlacius; Emil J. Bergholtz; Ulf Gran; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Linear response; Black holes; Thermalization; Holography; Weyl systems; Non-Hermitian systems; Theoretical Physics; teoretisk fysik;

    Sammanfattning : Linear response theory is a powerful calculation tool in quantum field theory. We apply this framework to a variety of models originating from distinct areas in theoretical physics and for different reasons. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Chronic infection with chlamydia pneumoniae in COPD and lung cancer

    Författare :Eva Brandén; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Chlamydia pneumoniae; chronic infection; lung cancer; COPD; treatment; detection;

    Sammanfattning : Lung cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are major causes of morbidity and mortality throughout the world. Smoking is the main cause for both diseases, but other factors seem to contribute. LÄS MER
