2. 1. Streetlife in Late Victorian London : The Constable and the Crowd

   Author : Peter Andersson; Historia; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; London; Victorian London; streetlife; nineteenth century; urbanism; urban history; policing; police constable; performativity; everyday life; behaviour; interaction; traffic; dress; manners; class; crowd;

   Abstract : This study examines the streetlife of London at the end of the nineteenth century from the perspective of behaviour and practice. In reaction to the large number of works on the Victorian city based on a study of literary sources, this thesis takes the approach of analysing social interaction in the street. READ MORE

   Author : Carlos Ortiz; Olle Eriksson; Mattias Klintenberg; Richard A. London; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Condense matter theory; electronic structure; quasiparticles; GW theory; molecular dynamics; Boltzmann transport; electron transport; impact ionization; structural damage; dielectric response; structural biology; radiation detectors; scintillators; positron emission tommography; Electronic structure; Elektronstruktur; Semiconductor physics; Halvledarfysik; Biological physics; Biologisk fysik; Critical phenomena phase transitions ; Kritiska fenomen fasövergångar ; Functional materials; Funktionella material; Materiefysik; Physics of Matter;

   Abstract : First principle electronic structure theory is used to describe the effect of crystal binding on radiation detectors, electron transport properties, and structural damage induced by intense irradiation. A large database containing general electronic structure results to which data mining algorithms can be applied in the search for new functional materials, a case study is presented for scintillator detector materials.

5. 3. Knowledge and pleasure at Regent's Park : the gardens of the Zoological Society of London during the nineteenth century

   Author : Sofia Ņkerberg; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Zoological Gardens; Zoological Society of London; zoo; London; nineteenth century; acclimatisation; imperialism; leisure; public; guidebook; zoology; natural history; popular science;

   Abstract : The subject of this dissertation is the Zoological Gardens of the Zoological Society of London (f. 1826) in the nineteenth century. Located in Regent s Park, it was the express purpose of the Gardens (f. 1828) to function as a testing-ground for acclimatisation and to demonstrate the scientific impor­tance of various animal species.

6. 4. Onward Migration : The Transnational Trajectories of Iranians Leaving Sweden

   Author : Melissa Kelly; Roger Andersson; David Ley; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : Onward migration; Transnationalism; Iranian Diaspora; Mobility and Settlement; European Welfare State; Sweden; London; Highly Educated Migrants; EU mobility; Cosmopolitanism; Class and Culture; Life Course Research; Narrative Research;

   Abstract : Onward migration is an understudied process whereby people leave their country of origin, settle in a second country for a period of time, and then migrate on to a third country. This dissertation explores the transnational trajectories of one specific group of onward migrants. READ MORE

7. 5. Deviations from the London model in superconductors

   Author : Emma Campillo; Synkrotronljusfysik; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Superconductivity; Neutron scattering; SANS; vortex lattice; condensed matter physics; Fysicumarkivet A:2022:Campillo;

   Abstract : Using Small-Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS) we have studied the flux line lattices of the first heavy-fermion superconductor to be discovered, CeCu2Si2, the well-known high-temperature superconductor YBa2Cu3O7, along with Ca-doped variants of this compound, and several topological superconductor candidates that have attracted a lot of attention in the last few years, such as PbTaSe2, Au2Pb and β-Bi2Pd.Unconventional superconductors, with pairing mechanisms and properties that are not accounted for within BCS theory, are a subject of continuing interest.
