  1. 1. Landscapes of Technology Transfer : Swedish Ironmakers in India 1860–1864

    Författare :Jan Af Geijerstam; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; History of technology; industrial heritage studies; industrial archaeology; technology transfer; diffusion; technological systems; landscapes of technology; iron and steel; charcoal iron; direct and indirect ironmaking; bloomeries; 19th century; indu; Historiska studier av teknik; vetenskap och miljö; History of Science; Technology and Environment;

    Sammanfattning : In the early 1860s three Swedes, Nils Wilhelm Mitander,Julius Ramsay and Gustaf Wittenström, were engaged by theBritish to build and run charcoal-based ironworks in India.These works, the Burwai Iron Works of the British Government inthe case of Mitander and the privately owned Kumaon Iron Worksin the case of Ramsay and Wittenström, were both to bebased on the most modern European technology.

  3. 2. Barnlitteraturens tekniklandskap : En didaktisk vandring från Nils Holgersson till Pettson och Findus

    Författare :Cecilia Axell; Jonas Hallström; Jan-Erik Hagberg; Lena Kåreland; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Technology education; children’s literature; views of technology; views of nature; views of future; Teknikdidaktik; barnlitteratur; tekniksyn; natursyn; framtidssyn;

    Sammanfattning : Syftet med denna studie är att utifrån ett didaktiskt perspektiv undersöka budskap om teknik i ett urval svenska skönlitterära barnböcker samt undersöka hur berättelsernas tekniksyner förhåller sig till deras natur- respektive framtidssyn. Analyserna grundar sig på sex svenska författares skönlitterära barnböcker: Selma Lagerlöf, Otto Witt, Elsa Beskow, Karl-Aage Schwartzkopf, Sven Wernström och Sven Nordqvist. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Governance of innovation - deploying an architectural framework for innovation of technological systems for energy, security and defence

    Författare :Bengt A Mölleryd; Per Lundqvist; Gunnar Hult; Per Morten Schiefloe; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Systemic innovation; disruptive innovation; technology innovation; innovation deployment; platform-based ecosystems; governance; innovation life cycle; systems integration and association; systems of systems; energy; security; security of supply; defence; evolutionary development; holistic engineering; systems engineering standards; protocols and methods; enterprise architectures and frameworks; Energy Technology; Energiteknik;

    Sammanfattning : Governance of innovation – deploying an architectural framework for innovation of technological systems for energy, security and defence Innovation has a great deal of attraction but is associated with serious uncertainties and downsides. It is potentially beneficial for growth, sector and industrial development and competitiveness. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Kinetics of Nanoparticle Catalysis from First Principles

    Författare :Mikkel Jørgensen; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Density functional Theory; Mean field approximation; Acetylene hydrogenation; Kinetic Monte Carlo; CO oxidation; Entropy; Methane oxidation; Heterogeneous catalysis; Kinetic modeling; Nanoparticles;

    Sammanfattning : Modern society depends heavily on heterogeneous catalysis, which creates strong economical and environmental incentives to improve catalyst efficiency. Heterogeneous catalysts are often realized as metal nanoparticles (NPs) supported on oxide surfaces, and catalysts are traditionally developed by trial and error approaches. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Gender and representation : investigations of bias in natural language processing

    Författare :Hannah Devinney; Henrik Björklund; Jenny Björklund; Christian Hardmeier; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; NLP; natural language processing; gender bias; social impact of AI; gendered pronouns; neopronouns; gender studies; topic modeling; Computer Science; datalogi; computational linguistics; datorlingvistik; genusvetenskap; gender studies;

    Sammanfattning : Natural Language Processing (NLP) technologies are a part of our every day realities. They come in forms we can easily see as ‘language technologies’ (auto-correct, translation services, search results) as well as those that fly under our radar (social media algorithms, 'suggested reading' recommendations on news sites, spam filters).
