Från humlor, metanbomber och luftpartiklar till markkonflikter och klimatanpassning på medborgarnivå. Klimatförändringen och dess konsekvenser blir alltmer tydlig och sträcker sig allt längre in i samhällsfrågorna och vardagslivet. Klimatfrågan handlar dels om naturvetenskapliga frågeställningar, om atmosfärsprocesser och förändringar i havet och på tundran, och om naturresurser och tjänster som v
The topic of this thesis is dynamics and wear of structures. In the six appended papers different aspects of wear and dynamics of a model system are studied. The considered system consists of a long slender rod with unilateral supports, subject to harmonic and stochastic excitation. The rod is held at one end with stiff springs preventing translation and rotation and constrained by loose sup
Abstract Work on the design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of galectin inhibitors is presented. The most significant results relate to the development of galactose-based arginine “tweezers” and taloside-based galectin inhibitors. The galectins are a β-galactoside binding protein family. They are involved in cancer and inflammation, thus comprising interesting pharmaceutical targets. Galact

Roman glass from indigenous sites is a key source material for studying the impact of Rome on Iron Age Scotland, but it has never been properly studied. This work fills that gap. This study is based on the Roman glass vessels found on non-Roman/native sites north of Hadrian’s Wall, dated mainly to the Roman Iron Age (AD 10-400 AD). These often-overlooked broken sherds of glass are shown to be pa
Popular Abstract in Swedish Syftet med denna avhandling var att undersöka olika aspekter på intersubjektivitet, metakognitiv utveckling och mellanmänsklig förståelse. Mer precist var syftet att undersöka hur några specifika teorier – mentaliseringsteorin, teorin om primär intersubjektivitet, samt interaktionsteorin – beskriver vilken roll intersubjektivitet har att spela i denna utveckling. De förThe aim of the thesis was to examine different aspects of the role of intersubjectivity in metacognitive development and in social understanding. More specifically, it investigates how different theoretical frameworks, such as mentalization theory, the theory of primary intersubjectivity, and interaction theory describe the developmental role of intersubjectivity. The suggestions these theories ma
Popular Abstract in Swedish Lera-vatten-systemet finns i stort sett överallt i vår omgivning. Syftet med denna avhandling är att identifiera och undersöka egenskaper hos leror som är av betydelse för deras inbördes växelverkan. Leror är sammansatta av två eller tre molekylära lager och får därför en relativt komplex fördelning av elektrostatiska laddningar. Denna fördelning förändras med olika betClays are the world’s most widely used natural material, however, little is known regarding the microstructure as well as the forces involved in clay-water interactions, and their influence on the swelling properties. The utilization of clay platelets is nowadays a key in a number of biological and industrial applications e.g. nuclear waste management. Bentonites from different natural sources an
We study deterministic algorithms for gossiping problem in ad hoc radio networks. The gossiping problem is a communication task in which each node of the network possesses a unique single message that is to be communicated to all other nodes in the network. The efficiency of a communication algorithm in radio networks is very often expressed in terms of: max-eccentricity D, max-indegree Δ, and siz

A very large majority of the current product development process models put forward in textbooks present a homogenous structure, what Ulrich & Eppinger [1] call the market-pull model, presented as a generic one, while other possible product development process models are merely seen as variants. This paper focuses on the task clarification and derived activities (mainly the systematic search f
