  1. 1. The World-Class Ordination : A Field Theory Approach to the Study of Global University Rankings

    Författare :Pablo Antonio Lillo Cea; Mikael Börjesson; Emil Bertilsson; Yves Gingras; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; sociology of education; globalisation; field theory; universities; higher education; rankings; Utbildningssociologi; Sociology of Education;

    Sammanfattning : Using Pierre Bourdieu’s field theory, this thesis explores the idea of a “world-class university” by analysing the narratives and dynamics that shape this classification in the context of global university rankings. It uses a combination of methods, including historical studies, bibliometrics, multiple correspondence analysis, and social network analysis to examine the socio-historical factors determining world-class status in higher education.

  4. 3. Parents with cancer : the experiences of family responsibility

    Författare :Eva Elmberger; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :rounded theory; interpretive description; moral responsibility; moral support; mothering; parents; secondary analysis and transition;

    Sammanfattning : Then main aim of this study was to gain an understanding of how women and men with cancer illnesses, looking after children at home, experience and manage their life situation, with focus on the responsibility as parent. An additional aim was to identify the parents’ need for support, in order to develop support activities for them from a family nursing perspective. LÄS MER

  5. 4. The strength of glulam beams with holes - A probabilistic fracture mechanics method and experimental tests

    Författare :Henrik Danielsson; Byggnadsmekanik; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; fracture mechanics; Weibull; design; test; strength; stress; glulam; hole; probabilistic fracture mechanics.;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis deals with experimental tests and methods for strength analysis of glulam beams with holes. Test results and methods for strength analysis available in literature are compiled and discussed. The methods considered comprise both code strength design methods and more general methods for strength analysis. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Electromagnetic simulation and design of etched diffraction grating demultiplexers

    Författare :Jun Song; Sailing He; Dries Van Thourhout; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; etched diffraction grating; wavelength division multiplexing; passive devices; diffraction grating; planar waveguide devices; DWDM; optical communication.; Photonics; Fotonik;

    Sammanfattning : Among various planar lightwave circuits for multiplexing/demultiplexing in an optical communication system, etched diffraction gratings (EDGs) have shown great potential due to their compactness and high spectral finesse. Conventional numerical methods for grating simulation cannot be used to simulate an EDG demultiplexer of large size (in terms of the wavelength). LÄS MER
