2. 1. Sugar-modulated gene expression and cell division in cell culture and seedlings of A. thaliana

   Author : Sabine Kunz; Leszek A. Kleczkowski; Alison Smith; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Arabidopsis thaliana; carbohydrates; cell culture; cell division; gene expression; homeostasis; live cell imaging; sugar-signals; sugar-analogues; Physiological Botany; fysiologisk botanik;

   Abstract : Throughout their life cycle, plants adjust growth in response to their developmental and environmental situation within the limits of their energetic capacities. This capacity is defined by the local sugar availability, which is constantly modulated through synthesis, transport and consumption of sugar. READ MORE

4. 2. Architecture and circuit design of photon counting readout for X-ray imaging sensors

   Author : Suliman A Abdalla; Bengt Oelmann; Kenway Smith; Mittuniversitetet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Electrical engineering; electronics and photonics; Elektroteknik; elektronik och fotonik;

   Abstract : Hybrid pixel array detectors for X-ray imaging are based on different technologies for sensor and readout electronics. The readout electronics are based on standard CMOS technologies that are experiencing continuously rapid improvements by means of down-scaling the feature sizes, which in turn lead to higher transistor densities, lower power consumption, and faster circuits.

5. 3. On Derailment-Worthiness in Rail Vehicle Design : Analysis of vehicle features influencing derailment processes and consequences

   Author : Dan Brabie; Evert Andersson; Roderick A Smith; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; derailment; bogie design; wheel-sleeper impact; simulation; deviation; vehicle inter-connection; guidance mechanism; substitute guidance; articulated train; railway safety; Vehicle engineering; Farkostteknik;

   Abstract : This thesis aims at systematically studying the possibilities of minimizing devastating consequences of high-speed rail vehicle derailments by appropriate measures and features in the train design including the running gear. Firstly, an empirical database is established containing as much relevant information as possible of past incidents and accidents that have occurred at substantial running speeds due to mechanical failure close to the interface between the running gear and the track.

6. 4. Essays on Culture and Trade

   Author : Ulrika Stavlöt; Harry Flam; Henrik Horn af Rantzien; Anthony A. Jr. Smith; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Culture Consumption; Time-Inconsistency; International Competition; Residual Demand Elasticities; Markups; Swedish Export Industries; Economics; Nationalekonomi;

   Abstract : This thesis consists of three self-contained essays. The first two essays address the consumption of culture and are closely related in terms of the theoretical framework used. The third essay is a separate analysis of international trade and competition. READ MORE

7. 5. Seeing Otherwise : Renegotiating Religion and Democracy as Questions for Education

   Author : Lovisa Bergdahl; Sharon Todd; Robert A. Davis; Richard Smith; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; religion; religious pluralism; subjectivity; difference; cosmopolitanism; cosmopolitan education; deliberative democracy; deliberative education; radical democracy; love; antagonism; freedom; heteronomy; dialogue; conflict; seeing; small gestures; Education; Pedagogik; pedagogik; Education;

   Abstract : Rooted in philosophy of education, the overall purpose of this dissertation is to renegotiate the relationship between education, religion, and democracy by placing the religious subject at the centre of this renegotiation. While education is the main focus, the study draws its energy from the fact that tensions around religious beliefs and practices seem to touch upon the very heart of liberal democracy. READ MORE
