A model that simulates surface moisture content on sandy beaches for aeolian transport applications is developed and integrated into the aeolian transport model AeoLiS. The moisture content of a thin surface layer (≈2 mm thickness) is computed as a function of wave runup, precipitation, evaporation, percolation, and capillary rise from the groundwater table. The groundwater table is simulated usin

Forskningen om svensk litteratur i fransk översättning är inte särskilt omfattande, men på senare tid har forskarna varit eniga om en aspekt: att andelen svenska kvinnliga författare som översatts till franska har ökat avsevärt under de senaste årtiondena. Syftet med denna forskning är att analysera hur svenska kvinnliga författare översatts och publicerats på franska, och hur översättningsprocesWhile research on Swedish literature in French translation is not particularly voluminous, researchers have recently been unanimous on one aspect: that the percentage of Swedish women writers translated into French has increased significantly in recent decades. The aim of this research is therefore how Swedish women are being translated and published in French, and how the translation process cont

The HUSH-MORC2 corepressor has emerged as a key player in epigenetic silencing of L1 retrotransposons and other mobile genetic elements during human development. In the ‘canonical’ mode of its recruitment to chromatin, HUSH makes interactions with nascent transcripts from target elements, leading to the assembly of SETDB1, which deposits the repressive heterochromatin mark H3K9me3, and chromatin r

Navigating the observational, symbolic, and theoretical knowledge domains of chemistry is crucial for chemistry sensemaking. However, this has been shown to be particularly challenging for students of chemistry. In order to reach government standards for sensemaking in the chemistry subject, it is important to investigate how chemistry teachers can sustain sensemaking practices in their classrooms

The focus of much sensory language research has been on vocabulary and codability, not how language is used in communication of sensory perceptions. We make a case for discourse-oriented research about sensory language as an alternative to the prevailing vocabulary orientation. To consider the language of sound in authentic textual data, we presented participants with 20 everyday sounds of unknown

Introduction eHealth, defined by WHO as: “the transfer of health resources and healthcare by electronic means” are expected to increase communication between healthcare providers and patients and increase accessibility and patient participation in healthcare. The aim of this research programme is to: 1) develop a sustainable multidisciplinary environment for advancing, evaluating, and implementing

By partly replacing the use of primary energy sources with waste heat recovery, climate and environmental goals for the future will be closer at hand. This thesis investigates the waste heat potential of Alfa Laval's vacuum brazing furnaces in Ronneby and alternative ways of integrating the furnace's waste heat into the building's HVAC system. The main challenge was the low-temperatur

Eocene flint 48–56.0 million years old (mya) from the Negev desert (Israel) was characterized using a suite of analytical techniques. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) and selected area electron diffraction (SAED) of the inorganic component showed the texture, morphology, size, and distribution of two silica polymorphs: α–quartz and moganite. While euhedral forms were attri

Civil society occupies a significant space in any dynamic political landscape. However, in recent years, governments world-wide have attempted a shift away from activism and advocacy among civil society organisations (CSOs), favouring the apo-litical service‐driven organisations while disabling those perceived as “political.” This process has incapacitated civil society of its political habits, te

Worldwide, farmers use insecticides to prevent crop damage caused by insect pests, while they also rely on insect pollinators to enhance crop yield and other insect as natural enemies of pests. In order to target pesticides to pests only, farmers must know exactly where and when pests and beneficial insects are present in the field. A promising solution to this problem could be optical sensors com

God’s Kingdom in Tranquebar : pietist Confessional Culture during the Establishing Years of the Danish-Halle Mission: 1706-1714. The aim of this thesis is to study and describe the confessional culture as displayed by the missionaries Bartholomäus Ziegenbalg (1682-1719) and Ernst Gründler (1677-1720) during the establishing years of the Pietist Danish-Halle Mission in the Danish colony of Tranqueb
