  2. 1. Boundaries of displacement : Belonging and Return among Forcibly Displaced Young Georgians from Abkhazia

    Author : Minna Lundgren; Roine Johansson; Anna Olofsson; Barzoo Eliassi; Tone Bringa; Mittuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Georgia; Abkhazia; Caucasus; IDP; internal displacement; return; forced displacement; youth; border; riskscapes; uncertainty;

    Abstract : This dissertation explores the implications of borders and boundaries for how forcibly displaced young Georgians from Abkhazia understand issues of belonging and return. My theoretical framework draws from theories on home and belonging as well as theories on border and boundary making, and locates them in geographies of uncertainty – or riskscapes – areas characterized by conflict and/or inequality.

  4. 2. Microfluidic Cell and Particle Sorting using Deterministic Lateral Displacement

    Author : Stefan Holm; Fasta tillståndets fysik; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Microfluidics; Separation science; Deterministic Lateral Displacement; Cell analysis; Deterministic lateral displacement; Microfluidics; Particle sorting; Droplet microfluidics; trypanosomiasis; red blood cell; Cell sorting; Fysicumarkivet A:2018:Holm;

    Abstract : Microfluidics is a field which has the potential to revolutionize medical diagnostics. The ability to sort and analyse cells by the use of portable handheld devices has the potential to enable sensitive devices for point-of-care diagnostics. READ MORE

  5. 3. Speckle interferometry and correlation applied to large-displacement fields

    Author : Angelica Svanbro; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Experimental Mechanics; Experimentell mekanik;

    Abstract : A common problem in experimental mechanics is that when a sample is studied in e.g. a tensile test machine, the sample is often exposed to rigid body motions at the same time as small deformations occur. These two movements, the rigid body motion and the deformation, are often talked about as displacement fields. READ MORE

  6. 4. Self-employment Entry and Survival : Evidence from Sweden

    Author : Jenny Nykvist; Henry Ohlsson; Eva Mörk; David Blanchflower; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Self-employment; entrepreneurship; liquidity constraints; wealth; displacement; plant closure; survival; success; Economics; Nationalekonomi;

    Abstract : Essay 1: Hurst and Lusardi (2004) use higher-order polynomials in wealth in estimating the relationship with entrepreneurship. They find evidence conflicting with the existence of extensive liquidity constraints in the United States. In this paper, their approach is replicated on Swedish data. READ MORE

  7. 5. On Suction Box Dewatering Mechanisms

    Author : Peter Åslund; Bo Norman; Timoty Patterson; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Suction box; vacuum; water removal; compressibility; displacement; rewetting; laboratory equipment; Cellulose and paper engineering; Cellulosa- och pappersteknik;

    Abstract : In previous studies on suction box dewatering, three mechanisms were identified that determine the dry content of a web, viz. web compression, displacement of water by air and rewetting. READ MORE
