11. Konsten att leva längre : Föreställningar om livets förändring i handböcker 1700-1930
Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis is to explore discursive changes in conceptions of life course and ageing.

12. Sakernas sammanhang : Om ting, människor och materiella relationer hos Henry Parland, James Joyce och Virginia Woolf

13. Yngre elevers lärande om naturen. En studie av kommunikation om modeller i institutionella kontexter
Sammanfattning : The aim of the study is to draw attention to and examine how young students (approximately 5-13 years) are involved in communication about nature, what approaches to nature are mediated in the social practices of preschool, school, and a science center, and how functional these approaches may be as providing learners with tools for making sense in other situations in everyday life and society. Empirical investigations were carried out by observations, tape recordings and video recordings of interaction in different educational contexts and presented in three studies. LÄS MER
14. Dualities, Symmetries and Unbroken Phases in String Theory : Probing the Composite Nature of the String
Sammanfattning : The thesis treats aspects of string/M-theory in anti-de Sitter spacetimes and their supersymmetric completions. By applying the AdS/CFT correspondence, as well as models of spin chains and singletons, we try to attain a better understanding of the underlying symmetries and the unbroken phases of string/M-theory.

15. Wastelands of difference? Urban nature and more-than-human difference in Berlin and Gothenburg
Sammanfattning : This thesis explores more-than-human entanglements of contemporary urban environments in order to develop a rearticulation of urban landscapes as spaces decidedly beyond the exclusively human. Taking its cue from the question “How do we live with urban difference today?,” such spaces, the thesis argues, emerge through, as well as change with, a variety of socio-ecological entwinements.
