This report contains the student papers describing the projects in the 2017 course Projects in Automatic Control (FRTN40). The course is given annually by the Department of Automatic Control, Lund University, during the second half of the fall semester, with the possibility of projects starting at other times upon agreement. It is an advanced level course, giving 7.5 ECTS credits. The main purpose
The work presented in this thesis has aimed to investigate and implement techniques for ultrasonic measurements in structural health monitoring applications for civil structures. The focus of the work has been to make these systems practical in real applications, where the large size of the structures, and the changing environments they are exposed to, pose problems for many methods which otherwis
Autoionization, which results from the interference between direct photoionization and photoexcitation to a discrete state decaying to the continuum by configuration interaction, is a well known example of the important role of electron correlation in light-matter interaction. Information on this process can be obtained by studying the spectral, or equivalently, temporal complex amplitude of the i
To identify common alleles associated with different histotypes of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), we pooled data from multiple genome-wide genotyping projects totaling 25,509 EOC cases and 40,941 controls. We identified nine new susceptibility loci for different EOC histotypes: six for serous EOC histotypes (3q28, 4q32.3, 8q21.11, 10q24.33, 18q11.2 and 22q12.1), two for mucinous EOC (3q22.3 and
Neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs) are disorders characterized by progressive deterioration of brain structure and function. Selective neuronal populations are affected leading to symptoms which are prominently motor in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) or Huntington’s disease (HD), or cognitive in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD). Besides the common existence of neurona
The power of love has become a renewed matter of feminist and non-feminist attention in the 21st century’s theory debates. What is this power? Is it a form of domination? Or is it a liberating force in our contemporary societies?Within Feminism and the Power of Love lies the central argument that, although love is a crucial site of gendered power asymmetries, it is also a vital source of human emp
Gunnarsson highlights how dialectics can shed light on the relation between love and dominance, foregrounding the crucial role that ontological tensions play in self–other relating. Drawing on Roy Bhaskar’s dialectical critical realist philosophy, she expands on Jessica Benjamin’s analysis of male dominance, as well as other feminist work, and elaborates on the necessity of living-with rather thanGunnarsson highlights how dialectics can shed light on the relation between love and dominance, foregrounding the crucial role that ontological tensions play in self–other relating.

This thesis investigates a hitherto under-researched topic in Septuagint studies, the Septuagint neologisms, that is, the words which are first attested in the Septuagint, taking as a case in point a deuterocanonical/apocryphal book originally written in Greek, the Second Book of Maccabees (2 Maccabees). The thesis first examines how the neologisms have so far been treated in Septuagint studies an
BACKGROUND: Epidemiological evidence on the association between ambient air pollution and breast cancer risk is inconsistent. OBJECTIVE: We examined the association between long-term exposure to ambient air pollution and incidence of postmenopausal breast cancer in European women. METHODS: In 15 cohorts from nine European countries, individual estimates of air pollution levels at the residence wer
För ett par år sedan rasade en tämligen hätsk mediedebatt om studenters skrivande. Debatten inleddes med ”ett veritabelt nödrop” då nio historiker i en artikel i Upsala Nya Tidning beklagade sig över studenters bristfälliga skrivande (Enefalk et al., 2013). Studenternas obefintliga historiekunskaper hade de fått förlika sig med för länge sedan, anförde de. Men nu, när till och med kommunikationsfö
No Child Left Behind och Race to the Top är namnen på två stora skolreformer i USA. Common Core är namnet på den nationellt övergripande standardiseringen av de tester som kopplats till reformarbetet. Hur har reformerna utfallit? Martin Malmström kommenterar den amerikanska utvecklingen. (red)
The purpose of this study is to examine how teachers' PCK is expressed in a Science teaching practice, both from a teacher and a student perspective. The study is a qualitative study of three teachers' physics classroom lectures in grades 7-8. International research highlights the teacher's impact on students' achievement in general and in science education in particular and there are several ongo
Isomeric states in isotopes in the vicinity of doubly-magic 208Pb were populated following reactions of a relativistic 208Pb primary beam impinging on a 9Be fragmentation target. Secondary beams of 198,200,202,206Pb and 206Hg were isotopically separated and implanted in a passive stopper positioned in the focal plane of the GSI Fragment Separator. Delayed γ rays were detected with the Advanced Gam
