Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingens syfte är att belysa relationerna mellan lokal praktik och statlig styrning med utgångspunkt i hur efterkrigstidens välfärdspolitik förändrade livsbetingelserna i ett antal byar i norra Sveriges inland. Tre teman knyter samman diskussionen. Det första temat knyts till frågorna kring hur det nordsvenska inlandet omvandlats under efterkrigstiden och till hur The aim of this dissertation is to investigate the relationship between local practices and state steering by examining how post-World War II welfare policy changed the life conditions in a number of small villages in northern Sweden. Three themes tie the discussion together. The first theme revolves around questions about how the northern Swedish inland region was transformed in the post-war peri

High-resolution spectroscopy measurements have been performed using near-infrared diode lasers. Special emphasis was placed upon high accuracy absorption lineshape measurements, which provide the basis for quantitative gas analysis. For this purpose, relevant spectral characteristics of the radiation emitted by diode lasers were studied. High-resolution measurements using newly developed long-wave

The aim of this work was to determine the extent to which soot is formed and if there are any ways of reducing the formation of soot. In order to determine if soot formation will be a critical issue for the reverse flow reforming process modeling of the process was undertaken. The reformer was modeled using a detailed reaction mechanism to describe the kinetics of soot formation.The results of the

Decentralised and scalable conditions for robust stability of networks of heterogenous linear time-invariant (LTI) systems are derived based on integral quadratic constraints. These generalise previous works in the literature with an increased flexibility in the choice of multipliers employed. The results allow for arbitrary interconnection matrices and accommodate multi-input-multi-output systems

The new injector for MAX-lab is built around two 125 MeV linacs [B. Anderberg, (2000)] equipped with SLED cavities [Z.D. Farkas, (1974)]. The electron beam is recirculated once to reach 500 MeV. A 2.3 MeV thermionic RF gun [B. Anderberg, (2000)] injects into the system. The RF-gun is put into operation and commissioning of the first linac is proceeding. Results from the thermionic RF-gun operation
