  4. 2. Living Longer, Living Harder : Ageing in Extreme Poverty in Bangladesh

    Author : Owasim Akram; Thomas Denk; Jan Jämte; Ilaria Pitti; Johan Vamstad; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Ageing; Agency; Extreme Poverty; Generational Bargain; Life History Interviews; Othering; Postcolonial; Qualitative; Social Policy; Welfare Regimes;

    Abstract : The overall aim of this dissertation is to understand the lived experience of age-ing in extreme poverty in developing countries, in this case Bangladesh, a country that hosts a large number of extreme poor and ageing population. By focusing on the role of the family, the most neglected pillar of welfare, this dissertation sheds new light on the microprocesses of welfare politics. READ MORE

  5. 3. Calorimetry under extreme conditions

    Author : Neha Kondedan; Andreas Rydh; Ali Elshaari; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Nanocalorimetry; Diamond anvil cell; Specific heat; Thermometry; Quasicrystals; Solid State Physics; fasta tillståndets fysik;

    Abstract : This licentiate thesis presents developments of nanocalorimetry systems tailored for use under extreme conditions such as high pressure, intense magnetic fields, and low temperature. Nanocalorimetry is a powerful approach to study strongly correlated systems like superconductors, heavy fermions, and quantum materials with non-trivial magnetic or electronic properties, materials with emergent magnetic orders, as well as quasicrystals.

  6. 4. Adjusting to the extreme : Thermal adaptation in a freshwater gastropod

    Author : Magnus Johansson; Laurila Anssi; Robby Stoks; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Radix balthica; Lake Mývatn; geothermal springs; thermal adaptation; isolation by environment; population structure; gene flow; cogradient variation; AFLP; thermal preference; CTmax; Biologi med inriktning mot populationsbiologi; Biology with specialization in Population Biology;

    Abstract : Temperature is a ubiquitous force influencing biological processes ranging from cellular responses to life span. The thermal environment for many organisms is predicted to change with globally increasing temperatures and studies conducted in natural systems incorporating various evolutionary forces, such as gene flow, is needed.

  7. 5. Offshore renewable energy systems : Quantification of extreme loads using computational methods

    Author : Eirini Katsidoniotaki; Malin Göteman; Alison Raby; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; offshore systems; wave energy; CFD; extreme events; machine learning; Bayesian experimental design; active learning; surrogate modeling;

    Abstract : This Ph.D. thesis investigates the dynamic response of offshore energy systems in extreme waves. The use of offshore energy technologies, such as wave energy systems and offshore wind turbines, is crucial for transitioning to clean energy and mitigating the effects of climate change. READ MORE
