Context. In the advent of new infrared high-resolution spectrometers, accurate and precise atomic data in the infrared are urgently needed. Identifications, wavelengths, strengths, broadening, and hyper-fine splitting parameters of stellar lines in the near-infrared are in many cases not accurate enough to model observed spectra, and in other cases, these parameters do not even exist. Some stellar
This thesis deals with the addition of upconversion detection to non-linear mid-infrared laser spectroscopy techniques. The techniques investigated here are degenerate four wave mixing (DFWM) and infrared polarization spectroscopy (IRPS). These techniques are useful for detecting many of the key species in combustion, such as CH4, C2H6, HCl, and HCN. These species can be probed using ro-vibrationa
This paper examines the response of five prominent Swedish economists, David Davidson, Gustav Cassel, Eli Heckscher, Knut Wicksell and Bertil Ohlin, to John Maynard Keynes’s "The Economic Consequences of the Peace" and to the German reparations in the 1920s. When Keynes’s book appeared, Davidson and Cassel strongly endorsed it. Heckscher also agreed with Keynes – “a bright spot in a time of darkne
Många vill nu överge överskottsmålet i det finanspolitiska ramverket. Men det är riskfyllt. Efter den internationella finanskrisen 2008 saknade många länder med hög statsskuld utrymme för en tillräckligt expansiv finanspolitik och tvingades till den hårda åtstramningspolitik som ligger bakom de populistiska strömningarna i Europa, skriver Fredrik N G Andersson och Lars Jonung.
Capacity-building in international cooperation projects is typically founded on a conceptualisation of transmission or transfer, and thus also typically contributes to the international diffusion of certain models, systems or technologies. In European policy, this approach has been part of the strategy to strengthen the position of European HE by making HE structures in other parts of the world co
Mer förnybar energi och elektrifiering av transportsektorn är viktiga sätt att minska vår klimatpåverkan. Det ökade intresset för elbilar har också väckt en diskussion om de geopolitiska konsekvenserna av övergången från bensin till batterier. Vilka blir de nya vinnarna och förlorarna i elektrifieringens spår? Vilken typ av naturresurser används i dessa tekniker? Finns det tillräckligt av dessa re
The aim of this work is the development of a thermodynamically consistent fully coupled finite-strain thermo-viscoplastic material model for metals. The model is based on a split of the free energy into a thermo-elastic, a thermo-plastic and a purely thermal part and covers nonlinear cold-work hardening and thermal softening. Nonlinear temperature dependent effects are accounted for the elastic mo
In this article, we argue that Slow City processes in Halfeti are used as a strategy to preclude the uncertainty in its development path, especially in view of the effects of Birecik Dam on the town. By using Swyngedouw’s post-political critique, we further argue that Slow City’s goals to ensure sustainability in the context of Halfeti serve to depoliticize the problems related to infrastructure,
Degrowth scholarship argues for multi-scalar transformations beyond the growth-oriented economic paradigm to achieve long-term socio-ecological sustainability. While the literature on degrowth has grown substantially, little has been said about how these transformations are understood in practice. By drawing upon practice theory and using performative methods, this paper explores the ways in which
Inkludering har kommit att betraktas som ett viktigt egenvärde i politiska sammanhang. Inkluderande samhällen ses som progressiva och välfungerande. Exkludering och exkluderande praktiker anses däremot påverka samhället negativt. Men kan det vara så att inkludering är bra i många sammanhang men inte i alla? Och är möjligtvis det som brukar betraktas som inkluderingens motsats, exkludering, i vissa
The Copenhagen Food Coop (CFC) is an alternative food community in Copenhagen that provides locally grown organic vegetables and fruits to its members. It also disseminates knowledge on organic and sustainable food production, distribution, and consumption and aims to develop a participatory and inclusive community organisation. Some scholars see such alternative food networks as having great pote
The differential cross section for isolated-photon production in pp collisions is measured at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector at the LHC using an integrated luminosity of 36.1 fb−1. The differential cross section is presented as a function of the photon transverse energy in different regions of photon pseudorapidity. The differential cross section as a function of the abs
Cucurbit crops have steadily increased in production over the last 50 years, particularly in Asia where pioneering technological advancements and genetic improvements have created new hybrid varieties. Generally, cucurbits are dependent on insect-pollination for fruit set and are popular species for pollination studies. This review systematically summarises pollination research conducted in the ma
The Swedish referendum on the euro in September 2003 is an exceptional event for researchers of monetary unions and of European economic integration. Voters chose between maintaining the domestic currency, the krona, and replacing it with the euro, the single currency of the European Union. The referendum revealed significant dividing lines between Yes- and No-voters in areas such as income, educaThe Swedish referendum on the euro in September 2003 is an exceptional event for researchers of monetary unions and of European economic integration.

Roughly one third of all the food produced worldwide goes to waste. The global goals for sustainable development set by the United Nations in 2015 call for a 50% reduction of food waste per capita by 2030. We thus face several major food waste challenges that need academic and practical attention. Food loss and waste occur throughout the entire food supply chain, from primary production to consump
