  2. 1. Sustainable Interactions : Studies in the Design of Energy Awareness Artefacts

    Author : Loove Broms; Magnus Bång; Henrik Eriksson; Daniel Fällman; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Interaction design; energy awareness; sustainability; domestication; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

    Abstract : This thesis presents a collection of experimental designs that approach the problem of growing electricity consumption in homes. From the perspective of design, the intention has been to critically explore the design space of energy awareness artefacts to reinstate awareness of energy use in everyday practice. READ MORE

  4. 2. Accuracy, efficiency and robustness for rigid particle simulations in Stokes flow

    Author : Anna Broms; Anna-Karin Tornberg; Mattias Sandberg; Eric Keaveny; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Stokes flow; rigid particles; accuracy; fundamental solutions; method of images; multiblob; contact avoiding; complementarity problem; barrier method; elliptic PDE; grid optimisation; pair-correction; boundary integral equations; Stokesflöde; noggrannhet; stela partiklar; fundamentallösningar; randintegralekvation; reflektionspunkter; multiblob; kontaktundvikande algoritmer; komplementaritetsproblem; barriärmetod; elliptisk PDE; gridoptimering; parkorrektion; Numerical Analysis; Numerisk analys;

    Abstract : The thesis concerns simulation techniques for systems of nano- to micro-scaled rigid particles immersed in a viscous fluid, ubiquitous in nature and industry. With negligible fluid inertia, the set of PDEs known as the Stokes equations can be used to model the hydrodynamics. READ MORE

  5. 3. Storyforming : Experiments in creating discursive engagements between people, things and environments

    Author : Loove Broms; Sara Ilstedt Hjelm; Cecilia Katzeff; Johan Redström; Jonathan Chapman; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; interaction design; sustainable design; research through design; critical design; Machine Design; Maskinkonstruktion;

    Abstract : This thesis introduces and critically reflects on a design programme, Storyforming, that explores ways to design objects and places to enrich daily life narratives. Using an experimental design approach, the goal is to exemplify and explore this idea with discursive artefacts that, through their physical and temporal form, act as catalysts in the construction of meaningful experiences.

  6. 4. Taxation and Government Quality

    Author : Rasmus Broms; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Taxation; Government quality; Institutions; State building;

    Abstract : The question of what creates government quality, or good institutions, is one of the central puzzles in modern political science. This dissertation investigates a hitherto underexplored cause: taxation. READ MORE

  7. 5. Characterization of habenular neurocircuitry. A potential novel target for treating depression

    Author : Jonas Jester-Broms; Enheten för psykiatrisk neuromodulering (PNU); []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : In the last decade, there has been an explosion of interest within the psychiatric research community in a small diencephalic brain region called the habenula. It has been uncovered as a key regulator of monoaminergic transmission, playing a fundamental role in decision making, behavioral flexibility, inhibitory control, sleep, pain and analgesia. READ MORE
