Med hjälp av det omvända klassrummets pedagogik och digitala verktyg kan man frigöra både lärar- och studentresurser och därmed effektivera undervisningen. Akademisk humaniora ställer dock särskilda krav på såväl digitala verktyg som på det omvända klassrummets övningsmoment. Bägge kräver tillämpningar som skiljer sig från andra discipliner. Vad gäller de digitala utmaningarna har vi å ena sidan s

Removal of the native surface oxide from steel is an important initial step during vacuum brazing. Trace and alloying elements in steel, such as Mn, Si, and Ni, can diffuse to the surface and influence the deoxidation process. The detailed surface chemical composition and grain morphology of the common stainless-steel grade 316L is imaged and spectroscopically analyzed at several stages of in-vacu

Background. Heart transplantation (HT) remains the ultimate final therapy for patients with end-stage heart failure. To prevent rejection of the allograft, life-long immunosuppressive therapy is required. As survival after HT has improved over the past decades, long-term complications, such as chronic kidney disease (CKD) and osteoporosis, are of increasing importance for morbidity and mortality.

The open source CFD code FireFOAM has been verified and validated against analytical solution and real fire tests. The verification showed that FireFOAM solves the three modes of heat transfer appropriately. The validation against real fire tests yielded reasonable results. FireFOAM has not been validated for a large set of real fires, which is the case for FDS. Therefore, it is the responsibility

CUnT-SPLICING THOUGHT-FORMS — Promiscuous Play with Quantum Physics and Spirituality could perhaps best be described as an invocation of excited states. In more ways than one, this dissertation indulges in a weird threesome between quantum thinking, tantric practices, and feminist theory, with artistic practice at its core. It proposes the term “cunt-splicing”—a reference to ropework and the so-ca

Drepanoistodus basiovalis (Sergeeva, 1963) is a common conodont species in Middle Ordovician strata of Baltica. For many years it has been widely accepted that the species encompasses a wide range of morphological plasticity. Hence, several different morphotypes that significantly deviate from the holotype have nonetheless been included in the broad species concept. In this study, we performed a d

The thesis work concerns development and application of four versatile nonlinear optical techniques, based on exploiting ultrashort laser pulses, for diagnostic purposes in gases and flames. The four techniques, all laser-based, are two-photon laser-induced fluorescence (TPLIF), hybrid femtosecond/nanosecond (fs/ns) rotational coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (fs/ns RCARS), fs-laser-induced g

Millimeter-wave cellular communication requires beamforming procedures that enable alignment of the transmitter and receiver beams as the user equipment (UE) moves. For efficient beam tracking it is advantageous to classify users according to their traffic and mobility patterns. Research to date has demonstrated efficient ways of machine learning based UE classification. Although different machine

The object of the study is to discuss how methods for increase interaction with communities can contribute to find ways for building relationships between local journalists and publics. Also, the study aims to display how trust can contribute to strategies for social sustainability of local journalism. Exploring new ways of studying communication and interactions in media and journalism is of high interest considering that we live in a constantly transforming media landscape. To build sustainable journalism and media organizations requires a holistic approach of the development involving audience, news producers and other stakeholders.This panel originates from studies applying action research o

The use of participatory action research in media studies is under development and has the last years become notable as a new way of exploring changes that has taken place on the media market the last decades.

Professional roles are converging as it becomes usual for journalists to be recruited as communicators, and ”change side” from reviewing information to carry information. Communication departments use journalistic methods and speak of themself as an editorial rather than a communication department (White & Hobsbawm 2007).

Culture and creativity are often described as central elements in urban and regional development. This paper takes its point of departure in an ongoing research project on the work of professionals at platforms for creative and cultural work in Scania, Sweden. Through narratives of and about the professionals at the different platforms the paper illustrates how creativity and creative work are enc

Målet med strålbehandling är att leverera en tillräckligt hög stråldos för att skadacellerna i en cancertumör utan att skada omkringliggande friska celler. Olika typerav celler är olika känsliga för strålning vilket man måste ta hänsyn och idaggörs med datoriserad stråldosplanering. Vid dosplanering provas olika antal strålfältmed olika vinklar och intensitet forma stråldosen att täcka tumören utaRadiotherapy is one of the essential treatments used in the fight against cancer. The goal of radiotherapy is to deliver a high dose of ionising radiation to the tumour volume and at the same time minimise the effect on healthy tissue by reducing the radiation to critical organs. This contradiction is challenging and has been driving the research and development of the treatments.Over the last two

The Upper Paraná River Basin (UPRB) has undergone remarkable land use and cover changes (LUCC) in recent decades. This paper analyses the hydrologic response to LUCC in the UPRB between 1985 and 2015, using the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) model. The impacts of LUCC were examined for annual, wet, and dry season (both during calibrated and validated periods) between 1984 and 2015. The most

BACKGROUND: Low back pain (LBP) is a burdensome problem affecting amateur cyclists. This cross-sectional study analysed Italian amateur cycling cohort's demographic and sport-specific characteristics, the prevalence and characteristics of LBP among this population, its possible association factors, the management strategies adopted to deal with LBP and the sample's beliefs among possible LBP trigg
