1. 1. The Making of Valid Data : People and Machines in Genetic Research Practice

   Författare :Corinna Kruse; Boel Berner; Minna Salminen Karlsson; Anne-Jorunn Berg; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; biomedicine; genetic research; laboratory practices; cultural practice; professional skill; uncertainty; valid data; humans – machines; objectivity – subjectivity; ethnography; biomedicin; genetisk forskning; laboratoriepraktiker; kulturell praktik; yrkesskicklighet; osäkerhet; giltiga data; människor – maskiner; objektivitet – subjektivitet; etnografi; Technology and social change; Teknik och social förändring;

   Sammanfattning : Avhandlingen undersöker ett centralt steg inom vetenskapliga praktiker: hur laboratorieprov översätts till data som anses giltiga och användbara av forskargemenskapen. Baserat på ett multilokalt fältarbete bestående av observationer och intervjuer i laboratorier för genetisk forskning, visas i avhandlingen hur laboratoriepersonalens yrkesskicklighet, samt normer och ideal om vetenskaplig forskning, formade deras praktiker av att producera giltiga data.

   Sammanfattning : This thesis is a contribution to feminist laboratory studies and a critical engagement with the natural sciences, or more precisely research on the biochemical workings and deadly relations of Alzheimer’s disease emanating from a year of field work in a Drosophila fly lab. The natural sciences have been a point of fascination within the field of gender studies for decades. LÄS MER

4. 3. Framtidsskaparna : Vetenskapens ungdomskultur vid svenska läroverk 1930-1970

   Sammanfattning : This dissertation analyzes scientific youth culture at Swedish secondary grammar schools during an era when the faith in science, technology and progress was strong. The aim is to study the production of meaning among the students and the everyday practices they were involved in. LÄS MER

5. 4. Coloured Universe and the Russian Avant-Garde : Matiushin on Colour Vision in Stalin's Russia, 1932

   Författare :Margareta Tillberg; Jeff Werner; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Colour vision; Russian avant-garde; Mikhail Matiushin; Elena Guro; Ender siblings; art; science; laboratory observations; colour practices; colour theory; synaesthesia; dialectical materialism; Stalin; culture; universal language; architecture; design; Matjušin; Michail Vasilʹevič; 1861-1934; Experimentell konsthistoria Sovjetunionen 1930-talet; Färglära historia Sovjetunionen 1930-talet; Art; Konstvetenskap; konstvetenskap; Art History;

   Sammanfattning : Colour vision was of fundamental importance in modernist art. One reason its significance has been studied so little with regard to Russian art is that Soviet archives were inaccessible until the early 1990s. This work is the first close study on a so-called laboratory in an art- and science institute in the Soviet Union in the 1920s. LÄS MER

7. 5. Laboratory Investigations of Frost Action Mechanisms in Soils

   Författare :Deniz Dagli; Jan Laue; Tommy Edeskär; Lukas Arenson; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Cold Regions Soil Mechanics; Frost Action; Frost Depth; Frost Heave; Heat Flow in Soils; Ice Lens Formation; Image Analysis; Laboratory Freezing Test; Soil Mechanics; Geoteknik;

   Sammanfattning : Phase change of the water in the soil skeleton under cold climate conditions (also known as frost action in soils) affects soil properties and can be responsible for serious alterations in a soil body; causing damages (due to the volumetric expansion known as frost heave) to structures on or below the ground surface such as foundations, roads, railways, retaining walls and pipelines, etc. In order to improve the current design methods for roads against frost action, the Swedish Transport Administration (Trafikverket) has initiated a research program.
