Multiconfigurational theory, in combination with the embedded cluster approach, is a precise and ab initio approach to describe the electronic structure of solids. In this work, the spectrum of a Ce(III) dopant in YVO4 has been studied by complete active space perturbation theory of the second order (CASPT2), with the host material represented as a set of ab initio model potentials and point-charg

Utställning på Galleri Arnstedt Östra KarupMina skulpturer är materiella översättningar av tankeobjekt. Till utställningen på Arnstedt har jag arbetat med runda horisontala skulpturer i gips. Skulpturerna fungerar som ljusmottagare som förändras med solljuset under dagen och är beroende av rummet de är placerade i.Min utgångspunkt har varit att reducera ner tanken och objektet ned mot en nollpunkt

Games regarding money can be seen as entertainment and a thrill in life. However, gambling can also lead to financial difficulties when it develops into an addiction. The Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare equates gambling addiction with other addictions such as alcohol and tobacco. The marketing of tobacco and alcohol is restrictively regulated by law, unlike the marketing of games. The

Grupputställning Västerås Konstmuseum, curator Katarina Elvén"I utställningen Någon sorts kunskap – fotografi ur och av samlingar undersöker konstnärer grundläggande frågor om fotografi och dess användning. Hur förhåller vi oss till fotografiets anspråk på att erbjuda oss kunskap och att framstå som objektivt bevis? Hur styr fotografen bilden och hur skapar bilden världen?"Group exhibition, Västerås Konstmuseum

This master thesis project presents steps on the image processing and reconstruction of an aluminium open-cell metal foam from $\mu$CT tomographic data. In addition, it also considers the generation of architecture foams using Voronoi Tessellation in combination with sphere packing algorithms. The process creates a foam skeleton which is used together with morphological operations such as dilation

The aim of this thesis is to explore how people in 18th century Sweden understood emotional and bodily experiences of pregnant women. By combining devotional books with manuals for childbirth and obstetrics, the separation of theological and medical perspectives by previous historical research is questioned. Instead, ideas about pregnancy and the pregnant body are situated in a religious-medical s

This master’s thesis concerns itself with the subject of political usage of a societal crisis, namely the contemporary utilization of narrative renderings of the Swedish famine of 1771-1772. During the last years of the Age of Liberty in Sweden (1719-1772) political and social tension were on its peak. The two rivaling political parties, the “hats” and the “caps” fought ferociously in the Diet, wh

Over the past decade, digital media has transformed how we take pictures, how existing images circulate in the world and how histories are written. While many artists have questioned where to locate images in our contemporary context, their ongoing presence in museums and galleries underscores that—alongside more dematerialized forms—images remain with us physically.Surface Tension presents recent

A text written in collaboration with Oliver Husain surveying the films and artist's books by Jimmy Robert in relation to his solo exhibition at The Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery.

What you hold in your hands is the outcome of an extensive research project into Babette Mangolte's film The Camera: Je, La Camera:1 (1977), and Lucy Lippard;s novel I See/ You Mean (1979), which took place in the frame of If I can't Dance's Performance in Residence programme with invited researcher Jacob Korczynski. Korczynski has investigated the relationship between the subjective role of the c

Over the past years, there has been a boom of children’s books on environ- mental topics in Germany reflecting the prominence of sustainability discussions in society. These children’s books are influential in shaping the worldview and behavior of the children, which will most likely be affected by increasing environmental and social challenges in the future. From an ecocritical and ecopedagogical

Over the last decades, video games have found their way into mainstream culture. Their distinctly interactive nature sets them apart from other forms of media. With regards to the ongoing global climate crisis, it is more relevant than ever to examine the ways in which we depict natural environments in the media. This master’s thesis aims to identify ecocritical concepts present in Far Cry 6 (Ubis

This report compiles the findings concerning the “Initial version of CBMD framework and co-creation process approach”, hereafter be referred to as “circular product-service system innovation support method” (cPSS method). The report has been compiled from an extensive review of the literature from a variety of inter-related academic research fields, including business model theory, product service

The European Green Deal states that greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions should be reduced by at least 50% by 2030, and that there should be no net GHG emissions by 2050. The energy sector is a key in this transformation, and energy communities can as accelerators of transitionsKey findings:•Future scenarios outline a decentralized energy system in which smaller generation units have become more economi

Learning a third language (TL) brings with it particular pedagogical demands. In the pedagogy of TL learning now emerging, the development of students' metalinguistic and crosslinguistic awareness is of central importance. In particular, emphasis is placed on the benefits of cross-referencing with supporter languages. While comparisons with supporter languages have been shown to facilitate L3 prod

Energy conservation plays a vital role towards sustainable development of meat processing. Energy costs for many meat plants represent the fourth highest operational cost. In meat processing, moderate levels of both electrical and thermal energy are consumed in wide range of processes and applications. However, energy efficiency improvement in the meat processing industry have been a focus to incr

Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a rare but serious complication after a pulmonary embolism. Healthcare resource utilization (HCRU; hospitalization, outpatient visits, and drug utilization) as well as productivity loss (sick leave and disability pension) before and after the CTEPH diagnosis is sparsely studied. By linking several Swedish national databases, this study estim

Background. An increasing global population means resource utilisation and food security remain the critical global challenges. Robotics and autonomous systems (RAS) have been applied to improve productivity, and their role in enhancing supply chain operations is explored here. Scope and approach. Researchers have studied ways to adopt and integrate RAS into the food industry. However, most of the
