  2. 16. OPEN LEARNING IN LIFE SCIENCES – Studies of open educational resources in animal welfare and work-based learning in food science

    Author : Anne Algers; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; open educational resources; work-based learning; sustainable development; animal welfare; food quality; food science; cultural historical activity theory; design;

    Abstract : The aim of this thesis is to explore ways of organising and supporting open learning in food science, food quality and animal welfare at the boundary between society, the university and other academic institutions. Two specific practices are explored, work-based learning (WBL) and the use of open educational resources (OER). READ MORE

  4. 17. Enacting Boundaries through Social Technologies : The Dance between Work and Private Life

    Author : Steffi Siegert; Jan Löwstedt; Hans Rämö; Emma Bell; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; social technology; boundaries; NGO; företagsekonomi; Business Administration; Business administration;

    Abstract : Social technologies have become ubiquitous. As technology in one shape or form infiltrates all areas of life, naturally there are consequences for individuals and organisations. READ MORE

  5. 18. Knowledge work across boundaries : inquiring into the processes of creating a shared context

    Author : Marita Holst; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Informatik; Informatics;

    Abstract : The problem area focused on in this thesis is knowledge work across boundaries and the processes of information exchange which lead to sharing, creation and use of knowledge and, thus, a shared context. The purpose of the thesis is to explore the management of these processes and which roles information and communication technology are given by the boundary-crossing groups. READ MORE

  6. 19. Scaling effects and homogenization of reaction-diffusion problems with nonlinear drift

    Author : Vishnu Raveendran; Adrian Muntean; Irina Pettersson; Karlstads universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; homogenization; asymptotic expansion with drift; two-scale convergence with drift; effective transmission condition; dimension reduction; two-scale system; nonlinear dispersion; Matematik; Mathematics;

    Abstract : We study the periodic homogenization of reaction-diffusion problems with nonlinear drift describing the transport of interacting particles in composite materials. The microscopic model is derived as the hydrodynamic limit of a totally asymmetric simple exclusion process for a population of interacting particles crossing a domain with obstacles.

  7. 20. On Monte Carlo Operators for Studying Collisional Relaxation in Toroidal Plasmas

    Author : Qaisar Mukhtar; Torbjörn Hellsten; Tainia Kurki-Suonio; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Fusion plasma; thermonuclear fusion; tokamak; Coulomb collisions; stochastic differential equations with singular diffusion coefficients; Monte Carlo schemes; spatial diffusion; modelling; Fokker-Planck equation; RF-heating.;

    Abstract : This thesis concerns modelling of Coulomb collisions in toroidal plasma with Monte Carlo operators, which is important for many applications such as heating, current drive and collisional transport in fusion plasmas. Collisions relax the distribution functions towards local isotropic ones and transfer power to the background species when they are perturbed e. READ MORE
