  4. 2. 1D to 3D Magnetism in Quantum Materials: A study by Muons, Neutrons & X-rays

    Author : Ola Kenji Forslund; Martin Månsson; Robert Kiefl; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; muon; magnetism; scattering; quantum materials; Material and Nano Physics; Material- och nanofysik;

    Abstract : A collection of works stretching from low- to three-dimensional magnetism are presented, studied mostly through muon spin rotation, relaxation and resonance (µ +SR). The theoretical background of this technique is outlined in Chapter 2, which introduces the subject from the muon particle as an astro[1]nomical particle to how they are produced here on Earth.

  6. 4. Artworks as diagrams : Diagrammatic reasoning and the epistemic potential of art

    Author : Leticia Vitral; Lars Elleström; Frederik Stjernfelt; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Semiotics; Aesthetics; Epistemology; Inquiry; Diagrammatic reasoning; Comparative literature; Litteraturvetenskap;

    Abstract : This thesis is concerned with establishing a bridge between matters of aesthetics and epistemology, by investigating the mechanisms through which artworks allow agents to derive knowledge through the former’s manipulation. It is proposed that, in order to understand the epistemic potential of artworks, we need to approach them as diagrams, in the sense developed by Charles Peirce. READ MORE

  7. 5. Business as Usual? : Doing gender equality in Swedish forestry work organisations

    Author : Maria Johansson; Malin Lindberg; Ulrika Haake; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Feminist action research; Forestry; Gender; Gender equality; Organization; Male dominated industries; Genus och teknik; Gender and Technology; Industriell design; Industrial Design;

    Abstract : The title of this thesis is Business as usual? Doing gender equality in Swedish forestry work organizations and while the latter part, the subtitle, is rather self-explanatory, the former part can be read in different ways. The aim of the thesis is to increase the understanding of the doing of gender equality in the male dominated work organizations of the Swedish forestry sector, and thereby contribute both theoretical and empirical understanding regarding how doing gender equality in the forestry sector relates both to notions of gender and notions of organizations.
