    Sammanfattning : The more we know about the catastrophic implications of climate change, the more fossil fuels are burnt in the world. How did we get caught up in this mess? This thesis returns to a crucial moment in the emergence of the fossil economy: the rise of steam-power. LÄS MER

  3. 12. Shaped for beauty : Vocational and gendered subjectivities in private education for the beauty industry

    Författare :Eleonor Bredlöv; Andreas Fejes; Susanne Köpsén; Elisabet Öhrn; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Vocational Education and Training VET ; subjectivity; adult learning; power; gender; beauty industry; processes of becoming; caring knowledge; Yrkesutbildning; subjektivitet; vuxnas lärande; makt; genus; skönhetsindustrin; blivandeprocesser; omvårdnadskunskap;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis was to answer the question: How are vocational, gendered subjectivities produced in vocational education for the beauty industry? Drawing on Foucault and poststructural feminist theory, this question is answered in four papers, in which the material consists of beauty-school recruitment and marketing material, interviews with skin and spa therapy students and observations of practical skin and spa therapy training. These are educational arrangements that are closely bound to the economic sector of the beauty industry, and they have remained remarkably unexplored. LÄS MER

  5. 14. Accurate Leakage-Conscious Architecture-Level Power Estimation for SRAM-based Memory Structures

    Författare :Minh Quang Do; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SRAM Power Modeling; Deep Submicron; Power-Performance Estimation Tool; VLSI; Power Estimation; DSP Architecture; CMOS; Cache Power Modeling;

    Sammanfattning : Following Moore’s Law, technology scaling will continue providing integration capacityof billions of transistors for IC industry. As transistors keep shrinking in size, leakagepower dissipation dramatically increases and gradually becomes a first-class design constraint. LÄS MER
