Popular Abstract in Swedish Den här avhandlingen behandlar hur fettdroppar i mjölk slås sönder i en mjölkhomogenisator. Mekanismerna bakom sönderslagningen har analyserats genom uppmätning av flödesfältet i spalten samt genom att fotografera dropparna, när de slås sönder. För att möjliggöra mätning och fotografering har två skalmodeller av en homogenisator tagits fram. En fullskalemodell, vilken The overall aim of this project was to investigate the drop break-up process in milk homogenisers. This was done by measurements and calculations of the flow fields in the gap region and by visualisation of drops being broken up. To make visualisation and measurements possible, two scale models of a homogeniser gap were developed. The full-scale model was a direct copy of the gap in a production-

Popular Abstract in Swedish Under det senaste årtiondet har förekomsten av läkemedel i miljön rönt stor uppmärksamhet.

The concept of marriage as a union of a man and a woman was fundamentally challenged by the introduction of registered partnership in Denmark in 1989. Odd Couples is the first comprehensive history of registered partnership and gay marriage in Scandinavia. It traces the origins of laws which initially were extremely controversial—inside and outside the gay community—but have now gained broad popul

How to judge religions other than one’s own when facing a plurality of religions?
