1. 6. Optical Spectroscopy on Correlated Electron Materials

   Författare :Johan Bielecki; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; dynamics; optical spectroscopy; colossal magnetoresistance; magnetism; transition metal oxides; high temperature superconductivity;

   Sammanfattning : Strongly correlated materials poses a great challenge to our microscopic understanding of matter, mainly due to the inability of perturbative methods to predict the properties of such materials. This inability stems from strong correlations between electronic, lattice and spin degrees of freedom, leading to a variety of complex and exotic phenomena such as (unconventional) superconductivity, metal-insulator transitions, non-Fermi liquid behavior and colossal magnetoresistance.

3. 7. Essays on Energy and Climate Policy – Green Certificates, Emissions Trading and Electricity Prices

   Författare :Anna Widerberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Attitudes; Carbon Dioxide; Carbon Intensity; Climate Change; Electricity; Electricity Prices; Emissions Trading; Emission Allowances; Environment; Fairness; GARCH models; Lyapunov Exponents; Market Structure; Personal Carbon Allowances; Public Opinion; Reconstructed Dynamics; Stability; Tradable Energy Quotas; Tradable Green Certificates; Volatility;

   Sammanfattning : Paper I: An Electricity Trading System with Tradable Green Certificates and CO₂-emission Allowances Combinations of various policy instruments to deal with the threat of climate change are used throughout the world. The aim of this article is to investigate an electricity market with two different policy instruments, Tradable Green Certificates (TGCs) and CO₂ emission allowances (an Emission Trading System, ETS).

4. 8. De länkade orden : Den digitala arenans dynamik

   Författare :Maria Mattus; Martin Kylhammar; Christina Chaib; Mats Ekström; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Communication; Internet; freedom of speech; credibility; hypertext; wiki; dialogue; Kommunikation; Internet; yttrandefrihet; trovärdighet; hypertext; wiki; dialog; Information science; Informationslära;

   Sammanfattning : The overall aim of this thesis is to explore freedom of speech and aspects of credibility related to the Internet. The phenomenon freedom of speech is seen and examined principally from a communicative perspective. Theoretically the thesis is based on three key concepts: Internet, freedom of speech, and credibility. LÄS MER

5. 9. On Aggregation and Dynamics of Opinions in Complex Networks

   Författare :Olle Abrahamsson; Erik G. Larsson; Danyo Danev; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis studies two problems defined on complex networks, of which the first explores a conceivable extension of structural balance theory and the other concerns convergence issues in opinion dynamics. In the first half of the thesis we discuss possible definitions of structural balance conditions in a network with preference orderings as node attributes.

7. 10. The Internet in China. Unlocking and Containing the Public Sphere

   Författare :Johan Lagerkvist; Kinesiska; []
   Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Political Culture; Public Sphere; Social Control; Public Opinion; Freedom of Speech; Democratization; Humanities; Humaniora; Samhällsvetenskaper; Social sciences; Propaganda; Internet; New Media;

   Sammanfattning : The aim of this dissertation is to address a paradox: government control and social freedom on China's Internet are growing simultaneously. The study, which is based on fieldwork conducted between 2002 and 2006, and 48 interviews, seeks answers to the following two questions: 1. LÄS MER
