Donors we choose : race, nation and the biopolitics of (queer) assisted reproduction in Scandinavia

In the 2000s, same sex partnership laws, new reproductive technologies, and legislation rendering lesbian couples and single women eligible for state-funded assisted reproduction with donated gametes in the Scandinavian nations has resulted in significant changes in family formation. Drawing on two separate qualitative studies, this paper scrutinizes Scandinavia’s alleged progressive LGBTQ politic

The Prohibitive Condition : The Performativity of the Incest Taboo and its Incestuous Remainders

Den här avhandlingen utforskar incesttabuts politiska natur genom att analytiskt fokusera på dess förbudsobjekt: incest. Från ett politiskfilosofiskt perspektiv framstår incesttabut som ett problem som handlar om att människans otyglade natur på olika sätt måste begränsas genom en grundläggande civiliserande lag. Följaktligen verkar incesttabuts auktoritet knytas till dess förmåga att utesluta tenThis dissertation explores the political nature of the incest taboo, with an analytical focus on its object of prohibition: incest. From the perspective of political philosophy, the incest taboo appears as problem of an unruly human nature that must be subjected to a foundational civilizing law. To this end, the taboo’s authority seems to derive from its ability to evict tendencies and desires tha

Assessment of a hand-held CZT-based gamma camera for pre-clinical imaging of 177Lu

A small CdZnTe-based hand-held gamma-camera has been acquired, intended to be used for preclinical imaging. The camera produces images of size 4 cm x 4 cm with an image-matrix of 16 x 16 pixels and can be equipped with a low-energy high-sensitivity (LEHS) or a high-resolution (LEHR) parallel-hole collimator. Pre-clinical imaging involves scales smaller than what the camera is typically used for, a

Why does urban Artificial Intelligence (AI) matter for urban studies? : developing research directions in urban AI research

New digital technologies and systems are being extensively applied in urban contexts. These technologies and systems include algorithms, robotics, drones, Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) and autonomous systems that can collectively be labelled as Artificial Intelligence (AI). Critical debates have recognized that these various forms of AI do not merely layer onto existing urban infrastructures, forms of

Phase field crystal modeling of grain boundary structures in diamond cubic systems

Phase field crystal (PFC) modeling has proved to be a versatile numerical tool in the analysis of crystalline microstructures. Most often, however, the focus is put on bulk crystal behavior, while crystal defects such as grain boundaries (GBs) are less explored. This is, in particular, the case for crystal structures beyond fcc and bcc. In this work, the possibilities and challenges in adopting PF
