  2. 1. From Common Market to Social Europe? : Paradigm Shift and Institutional Change in European Union Policy on Food, Asbestos & Chemicals, and Gender Equality

    Author : Marcus Carson; Barbara Hobson; Neil Fligstein; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Policy paradigm; public policy; European Union; new institutionalism; food safety; BSE; chemicals policy; gender equality; domestic violence; Sociology; Sociologi;

    Abstract : This dissertation takes up developments in European Union policymaking that indicate important shifts from an emphasis on prioritizing markets and economic arrangements to a greater recognition and competing prioritization of what can be broadly characterized as "social" concerns. Potentially sweeping changes are taking place in EU policy in the areas of food safety, chemicals, and gender equality. READ MORE

  4. 2. Breast self-examination

    Author : Kerstin Persson; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : breast; cancer; self-examination; self-reported practice; behaviour; compliance; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : The general aim of this thesis was to identify factors which determine women's motivation to perform self-examination of the breasts in order to obtain a basis for an intervention programme. The samples were randomly selected among women without breast cancer. Methods used were questionnaires and interview. READ MORE

  5. 3. On the Volume Changes during the Solidification of Cast Irons and Peritectic Steels

    Author : Abel Tadesse; Michael Vynnycky; Hasse Fredriksson; Jacques Lacaze; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Volume changes; Solidification; Peritectic steel; Micro- and Macro-shrinkage; LVDT; GCI; NCI; Hypo- and Hypereutectic; Austenite; DTA; Dilatometry; BSE; Nuclei; Flake graphite; SDAS; Eutectic cells; Undercooled graphite; Simulation; Cooling rate; Microsegregation; austenite; Metastable region; δ-ferrite; Stable phase diagram; Grain refinement; Strain.; Teknisk materialvetenskap; Materials Science and Engineering;

    Abstract : This thesis work deals with the volume changes during the solidification of cast irons and peritectic steels. The volume changes in casting metals are related to the expansion and/or contraction of the molten metal during solidification. Often, different types of shrinkage, namely macro- and micro-shrinkage, affect the casting quality. READ MORE

  6. 4. Complex Excitations in Advanced Functional Materials

    Author : Johann Lüder; Barbara Brena; Frank de Groot; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy; Photoelectron Spectroscopy; Adsorption; Phthalocyanines; Biphenylene; Excitons; Functional Materials;

    Abstract : Understanding the fundamental electronic properties of materials is a key step to develop innovations in many fields of technology. For example, this has allowed to design molecular based devices like organic field effect transistors, organic solar cells and molecular switches. READ MORE

  7. 5. Electronic Structure and Optical Properties of Solar Energy Materials

    Author : Baochang Wang; Natalia Skorodumova; Silvana Botti; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; GW; Bethe-Salpeter equation; Kinetic Monte Carlo; Density Functional Theory; Materials Science and Engineering; Teknisk materialvetenskap;

    Abstract : In this thesis, we have studied the electronic and optical properties of solar energy m-terials. The studies are performed in the framework of density functional theory (DFT), GW, Bethe-Salpeter equation (BSE) approaches and Kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC). We present four sets of results. READ MORE
