I denna essä söks, utifrån en diskussion om frihet som ett hållbart värde, balansen mellan en respekt för det beständiga och en förståelse för det kontextkänsliga. Hur ska en nutida läsare tolka exempelvis John Lockes eller John Stuart Mills frihetsbegrepp och kan vi egentligen tala om dem som med en samtida? Inga idéer är oberoende av tid och rum, men en djupare insikt i idéernas historiska föran

The overall aim of the present work was to reduce losses during product changes or during rinsing in continuous food processing, with particular attention to dairy plants. The concept of sensor fusion of common process instruments was implemented as a tool to monitor the milk and fat concentrations in a dairy processing line. Special interest was drawn to the dynamic processes such as start-up, r

Föreliggande övningsbok har utarbetats för att underlätta inlärningen och förståelsen av innehållet i huvudboken. Övningsboken innehåller ett antal instuderingsfrågor, som är kopplade till huvudbokens samtliga kapitel. Till drygt hälften av huvudbokens kapitel finns även ett flertal räkneuppgifter. Ett mycket stort antal av dessa har inspirerats av skadefall och andra praktiska problemställningar.

The research history and conditions in experimental archaeology up until today show a heavy emphasis on technological studies within a hypothetical-deductive theoretical paradigm. How is it possible to enhance the conditions for experimental archaeology so that it can also develop as a humanistic area of research, more closely related to existential perspectives of human life? We argue for the int

The thesis is based on five investigations. In the first study the nature and the degree of cognitive impairment of patients with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is explored. The results from neuropsychological assessment are described as three levels of cognitive impairment. These levels of functional disturbance corresponded to increased severity of abnormality of the regional cerebral blood flow

This book chapter discusses the reactions within a few Christian churches, Judaism and Islam to a number of recent biotechnological interventions: assisted reproduction, embryonic stem cells, genetic intervention, cloning, and organ transplantation.

This paper consists of two, somewhat disparate parts. In the first part, some experiences of two years of fieldwork are summarized, concentrating, as the subtitle suggests, on the very heart of phonetic fieldwork: the encounters and interviews with the informants. As a result of the fieldwork, the project now has access to recordings from approximately 1300 speakers of more than 100 dialects of Sw

Comprehensive simulations of fire in a retail premise from a blind validation study are presented. The simulations were made using a self-developed parallel CFD program SMAFS [1], with the turbulent flow, turbulent combustion, thermal radiation, soot formation, and the interactive heat transfer inside solid boundary all computed. The results are extensively compared with experimental measurement s
