Akademiska hierarkier kvarstår trots uttalade ambitioner om jämlikhet för alla inom akademin. Detta arbete undersöker hur bland annat lärare och forskare vid Lunds universitet upplever hierarkier samt tillhörighet i relation till sin kulturella bakgrund och familjens värderingar. Arbetet bygger på en kvalitativ metod i form av semi-strukturerade intervjuer som analyserats tematiskt med hjälp av Pi

In order to reach this conclusion, it has been necessary to analyze the phenomenon of the fantastic in its history, its relation to myth and fantasy, and in its particular reception throughout Latin America and Mexico. Furthermore, we have reviewed different models and

Nanoscience is an emerging field of technology where the bottom-up fabrication techniques are utilized instead of the traditional top-down approaches for enhancing the performance of di erent optoelectronic devices. One such material is a semicon- ductor nanowire (NW) which holds immense potential in nanophotonic applications, such as solar cells, LEDs, lasers, sensors and photodetectors. In parti

Do you know silica, the tetrahedra of silicon and oxygen constituting the crystals of New Agers and the desiccant in a box of new shoes? It’s no mere mundane mineral. As chemically reacting silicate rocks, silica set off the chain of events known as the origin of life. As biomineralized opal, it is the cell wall, skeleton, spicules, and scales of organisms ornamenting numerous lobes of the tree of

Libraries of things, non-for-profit physical spaces where people borrow objects they would otherwise buy, have spread over Europe, the U.S., and Canada and have now emerged in Mexico City, where challenges to sustainability such as increased consumption levels and insufficient waste management abound. Collaborative economy initiatives like libraries of things are exposed as more sustainable altern
