In a world where predictive big data analytics and data driven policy and design are increasingly prevalent, the concept of broken data seeks to interrogate and disrupt the possibilities associated with these trends. Concepts of breakage, damage and repair, and recent literatures about ‘broken world’ type theories, offer us an alternative starting point: what are the implications of putting these

September 19th 2015 the exhibition/installation Multistable Fields opened in the atrium of the main building at Lund university. Here’s the synopsis:The main building of Lund University was inaugurated in 1882. In the building conceived by architect Helgo Zettervall the rational quest for knowledge of Academia is enmeshed with a world of mythical symbols. Sphinxes and griffins meet deans and profe

Fieldnotes is an exploration of imaginary geographies. It is a series of surreal short films examining how the concept of ethnographic fieldnotes can be related to places, situations and the way ethnography is communicated. Each film in the series is also an evocation, based on video recorded at a single location at a single time. The video is then composited and soundtracked into a surreal accoun

What does it mean to be close to nature? This question is examined in this video work based on 9 short clips. The first clip of a woody landscape was recorded outside of Taivalkoski, Koillismaa, Finland using an Intenso Viddy, a cheap Video Messenger.The clip, 30 seconds in duration, of the landscape was transferred from the Viddy to a laptop. When played on the laptop the screen was filmed with t

Flame structures, blowout limits and emissions of swirlstabilized premixed methane-air flames were studied experimentally in a small atmospheric combustor rig. Combustion sections with rectangular cross section (30mm by 40mm) and circular cross section (inner diameter = 39mm) were used to investigate effects of combustor geometry on the flame's performance. Flame structures and instabilities were

In the present work, a downscaled prototype 4th generation Dry Low Emission gas turbine (SGT-750) burner (designed and manufactured by Siemens Industrial Turbomachinery AB, Sweden) was investigated using an atmospheric experimental facility. The primary purpose of the research is to analyze flame stability and emission capability of the burner. OH Planar Laser-Induced Fluorescence (OH-PLIF), and c

Lean premixed dry low emission (DLE) combustion system in a gas turbine engine is a globally accepted concept to reduce pollutant emissions and to improve combustion efficiency. This study is focused on an industrial downscaled prototype burner (4th Generation Dry Low Emission Burner for SGT-750 designed and manufactured by Siemens Industrial Turbo machinery AB), which has been tested extensively

Iran's unwavering commitment to the Assad regime in Syria despite its increasingly colossal costs is not only because Syria is Iran's strategic pathway to the Levant, but also, and probably more importantly, because "disloyalty" will send out deeply unsettling signals to Tehran's other mostly non-state allies or proxies and thus undermine its asymmetric security alliance structure in the Middle Ea

Based on his electoral campaign speeches and interviews, one may argue that President Trump has a business-based "give-and-take" approach to international relations and will thus follow a more pragmatic foreign policy than the neoconservative pole of the Republican establishment, which may feature closer relations with Russia, avoidance of the Middle East quagmires as much as possible despite high

Trump's unexpected and astounding victory in US presidential elections on 8 November 2016 was as much a rejection of the ruling establishment, political elitism and certain forces of globalization as an endorsement of some of his populist-nationalist slogans that promised the restoration of a secure and glorious past.

Human keratinocytes were investigated for the presence of single cilia. Almost all basal keratinocytes were found to carry a single cilium in normal, occluded, and psoriatic skin. The ciliary structure was progressively reduced in keratinocytes approaching the surface. No remnants of the ciliary apparatus were found in the granular layer. In one case of nickel-allergic dermatitis (patch test), the

An immunocytochemical technique with the use of three different antibodies raised against serotonin was applied to localize the immunoreactive neurons in the central nervous system of the crayfish, Pacifastacus leniusculus. Immunoreactive neurons were found in three optic ganglia (medulla externa, interna and terminalis). They appeared in three layers of the medulla externa and interna. The medull
