Death is a universal human experience, yet the ecological impact of the care and disposition of dead bodies is rarely considered, due in part to cultural taboos surrounding the physical reality of death and decomposition. If negative environmental consequences are to be limited, deathcare will need to adapt. Utilizing interviews with funeral directors from the United Kingdom, the United States and
The aim of this thesis is to critically investigate and problematize the Swedish Teacher Unions’ use of the concept of professionalism within the political negotiation of how to ascribe meaning and content to the idea of teacher professionalism within contemporary Swedish education debates. Departing from two recent educational reforms – the certification of teachers and the reformation of teacher
We have a travel policy at the Department of chemistry to clarify the applicable regulations and, at the same time, contribute to a more uniform procedure across all our divisions regarding travel. Travel is an integral part of academic activity and serves, among other things, to facilitate networking and increase the visibility of our activities nationally and internationally, as well as to carry

It is important to obtain accurate three dimensional structures of molecules and proteins to understand and predict their function and behaviour. X-ray crystallography is the major technique to determine three dimensional structures of proteins. Although there have been major improvements on the experimental side in determining crystallographic data, only small progress has been made on the comput
The global food industry is the second main contributor to climate change whilst climate change also poses threats to future food security (Ritchie & Roser, 2020). One of the suggestions to decrease the environmental footprint of consumption and increase the resilience of food systems, is the shift to local production and consumption (Stein & Santini, 2021; Van Gameren et al., 2015). Howev
The memory is by far one of the brain’s most important and fundamental functions, but perhaps also one of the most unreliable. In order for information to be retained in memory, the brain performs, in a few milliseconds, an outstandingly complex process that is also very sensitive to external disturbances. With the information technology available today, it is easy to be distracted by redundant in
This paper approaches the uncertainty problem from the point of view of adaptive control. The uncertainty is reduced by continuous monitoring of the response of the system to the control actions and appropriate modifications of the control law. It is shown that this approach makes it possible to deal with uncertainties that cannot be handled by high gain robust feedback control.

The day Faraday moved a magnet in and out of a wire loop and detected the time-varying magnetic field, the first wireless transmitter / receiver system was created and the world was changed forever. However, it took almost fifty years for Heinrich Hertz to use Maxwell's equations and Faraday's insights in his professorship at Karlsruhe to create the first electromagnetic wireless communication sys
Traditionally, traffic safety is expressed through the number of accidents (crashes) or people injured, since these are the most direct manifestations of an unsafe traffic environment. As we discuss in this chapter, such an approach has its limitations due to the low frequency of accidents and some other issues. Neither is it unusual that accident data is not available, not reliable or lacks impor
Formalised knowledge systems, including universities and research institutes, are important for contemporary societies. They are, however, also arguably failing humanity when their impact is measured against the level of progress being made in stimulating the societal changes needed to address challenges like climate change. In this research we used a novel futures-oriented and participatory appro
Idag lever vi en globaliserad värld där varor, tjänster och personer rör sig över större avstånd på ett allt enklare och snabbare sätt. Detta har resulterat i att fler företag har valt att etablerat sig internationellt och i allt större utsträckning strävar efter att etablera sig och verka globalt. När företag verkar i flera länder är en av konsekvenserna att företagen måste efterfölja lagar och rToday we live in a globalized world where goods, services and people can move easily over wide distances smoother and faster for each day. This has resulted in an increasing number of companies striving to establish and operate globally. One of the consequences when companies establishes worldwide is that they must comply with laws and regulations in the countries where they choose to establish. T
Public procurement for innovation is a matter of using public demand to trigger innovation. Empirical studies have demonstrated that demand-based policy instruments can be considered to be a powerful tool in stimulating innovative processes among existing firms. However, the existing literature has not focused on the role this policy instrument can play in the promotion of (knowledge-intensive) en
