1. Grasping the Peripheral State : A Historical Sociology of Nicaraguan State Formation
Sammanfattning : The thesis has two aims. The first one is to contribute to the field of political and historical sociology through an understanding of the processes of state formation in a Third World country. The second aim is to describe and analyze the development of the Nicaraguan state from independence to 1990. LÄS MER
2. Semipermeable membrane devices as integrative tools for monitoring nonpolar aromatic compounds in air
Sammanfattning : Air pollutants pose a high risk for humans, and the environment, and this pollution is one of the major environmental problems facing modern society. Active air sampling is the technique that has been traditionally used to monitor nonpolar aromatic air pollutants. LÄS MER
3. Integrative analysis of osmoregulation in yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Sammanfattning : Similar to other unicellular organisms, yeasts frequently encounter environmental stress such as heat shock, osmotic stress, and nutrition limitations, which challenge their growth potential. To survive, all living cells must be able to adapt to changes in their surrounding environment. LÄS MER
4. Syntes och design : Den intellektuelle politikern som konstnär
Sammanfattning : A new theory on the intellectual politician, which has the ability to produce a designed type of problem-solving, has been developed from political science theory, cognitive theory as well as art theory. A cognitive concept, modified integrative complexity, consisting of four sub-concepts, frame reflection, differentiation, reframing and integration has been developed. LÄS MER
5. Life Cycle Energy Optimisation: A multidisciplinary engineering design optimisation framework for sustainable vehicle development
Sammanfattning : This thesis explores how the systemic-level environmental footprint of light-duty vehicles could be reduced through integrative design using the Life Cycle Energy Optimisation (LCEO) methodology. This methodology aims at finding a design solution that uses a minimum amount of cumulative energy demand over the different phases of the vehicle's life cycle; while complying with a set of functional constraints, thereby avoiding any sub-optimal energy demand shifts between the vehicle's different life cycle phases.
