This thesis is about the (anti-)novel Den svarta solen (’The Black Sun’), one of the Swedish experimental author Lotta Lotass’ (b. 1964) most challenging works. It contains 340 texts, all describing different interiors in a monotonous and similar manner, which are arranged as a “Choose Your Own Adventure” gamebook. This turns the novel into a labyrinth, which the reader more or less literally can

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Det var en gång... historien om en vulkan. The Dunedin Volcano är belägen utmed östkusten på Nya Zeelands södra ö. Stora delar av både östkusten och de centrala delarna har under de senaste 40 miljoner åren upplevt perioder med intra platt vulkanism orsakad av en temperatur anomali i övre manteln under både Nya Zeelands Sydö och delar av havet öster om. VulkaneThe Portobello Peninsula is made up by volcanic sediments, lava flows and numerous dikes. Deposition of sediments and lava flows is thought be early in the evolution of the Dunedin Volcano. The lava flows of Portobello Peninsula are silica saturated, belonging to a lineage differing from the two major lineages previously inferred to exist in the volcano (Coombs and Wilkinson, 1969). This new linea

The way the fuel is introduced into the combustion chamber is one of the most important parameters for the power output and the generation of emissions in the combustion of liquid fuels. The interaction beween the turbulent gas flow field and the liquid fuel droplets, the vaporisation of them and the mixing of the gaseous fuel with the ambient air that are vital parameters in the combustion proces

Background: The immunosuppressive effects of thiopurine drugs are mainly mediated through their intracellular metabolism into active 6-thioguanine nucleotide (6-TGN) metabolites, which are incorporated into DNA. Erythrocyte 6-TGN (E-6TGN) levels have been proposed as an instrument for monitoring treatment. The aim of the study was to use erythrocyte E-6TGN, methylated mercaptopurine (MeMP) metabol

Due to the current return of federal aspirations among European politicians in relation to the current economic crisis and integration dead end, this thesis is interested in examining if the United States of Europe, meaning a federal union of the Member States of the European Union (EU), would be a desired state of integration or if it is still a federalistic utopia. Using the theoretical approach

Arbetet med att identifiera och inventera förorenade områden är en del av Sveriges miljökvalitetsmål. Regeringen har fastställt 16 mål, och ett av dessa är Giftfri miljö. För att våra kommande generationer ska få leva i en miljö fri från föroreningar behöver vi städa upp efter nuvarande och tidigare farliga utsläpp. Landets länsstyrelser har fått i uppdrag av Regeringen att genomföra identifieringThe process of identifying and inventorying polluted areas is part of The Environmental Objectives in Sweden. The government has put down 16 objectives, and one of these is A Non-Toxic Environment. To ensure that our future generations will live in an environment free from pollution, we need to clean up after current and former hazardous emissions. All of Sweden’s Länsstyrelser have been commissio

In this thesis, we first consider the phenomenology of R-parity violating supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model. Specifically, a large number of Lepton and Baryon Number violating decays of sparticles to particles are implemented in the Pythia event generator. The augmented generator has then been used to study event properties of these models, mainly at the LHC. During these studies, th

Aviation currently contributes about 3% of the world’s CO2 emissions, 5% of the global warming, and 35% of the trade. Reducing the emissions and the global warming from aviation is thus essential. Many approaches to achieve this goal are underway, including H2, fuel cells, and batteries, but also by replacing the fossil jet fuel with sustainable jet fuel from non-fossil feedstocks. This involves m

From the point of view of each individual’s sense-making, an organization is an emergent property of inter-individual sense-making processes and activities. The organization is a result of emergence from individual sense-making perspectives. A critically informed approach to research involves recognition / understanding of this emergence. Without the recognition of the uniqueness of each particula

Popular Abstract in Swedish Att försöka lokalisera gener som ger upphov till sjukdomar är ingenting nytt. De första försöken gjordes redan i början av 1900-talet. Idén är ganska enkel. Man undersöker i vilka delar av genomet (arvsmassan) som generna tenderar till att skilja sig åt mellan sjuka och friska individer, men samtidigt delas av de sjuka individerna. Problemet är att det mänskliga genometThis thesis is interdisciplinary between Mathematical Statistics, Genetics, and Medicine. It mainly consists of topics in mathematical modelling of the correlation of inheritance of genes and disease in a family, a method called linkage analysis. It is organized as follows. First, a short introduction with the relevant background is given and then four papers are included. The first paper discuss

Methanol is a genuine candidate on the alternative fuel market for internal combustion engines, especially within the heavy-duty transportation sector. Partially premixed combustion (PPC) engine concept, known for its high efficiency and low emission rates, can be promoted further with methanol fuel due to its unique thermo-physical properties. The low stoichiometric air to fuel ratio allows to ut

This paper investigates the heat transfer on the outlet guide vane (OGV) surface and its endwall region. The Reynolds number is fixed at 300,000 and the flow is subsonic. The inlet flow angle is varied from +25°(on-design), to +40°and -25°(off-design). Experiments were conducted in a linear cascade test facility using thermochromic liquid crystal technique. Numerical simulations using RANS were ca

In his dissertation Blomberg (2004) investigates into how the care manager reform is incorporated into organizational practice in the care of older people in Sweden. He shows that it is made through different lines of argumentations following one another. Through applying neo-institutional theory this can be understood as “solutions seeking problems to solve” rather than the other way around. In t

Wall-bounded turbulent flows are central to a wide range of engineering applications, where surface roughness can significantly influence both frictional drag and convective heat transfer. While the momentum effects of roughness have been significantly advanced in the literature, the thermal counter parts remain insufficiently understood. This study addresses the critical gap in understanding roug
