2. 1. Women-to-women diplomacy : the pursuit of feminist peace in Georgia and Myanmar

   Author : Magda Cardenas; Elisabeth Olivius; Anna Jarstad; Marjaana Jauhola; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Women’s activism; gender equality; feminist peace; agency; bottom-up peacebuilding; Georgia; Myanmar; women-to-women diplomacy; Kvinnors aktivism; jämställdhet; feministisk fred; fredsbyggande på gräsrotsnivå; Georgia; Myanmar; kvinnor-till-kvinnor diplomati; freds- och konfliktforskning; Peace and Conflict Research;

   Abstract : Why and how do women engage in peacebuilding efforts across conflict divides? This dissertation coins a novel concept, women-to-women diplomacy – or W2WD – to explore women’s peace activism in Georgia and Myanmar. W2WD consists of three components: 1) the promotion of women’s agency as a key aspect of mobilisation and peacebuilding practices; 2) women’s own experiences of conflict as a basis for bridging divides; and 3) women’s visions of gender equality as a fundamental part of peace.

4. 2. The Control of the Epigenome

   Author : Magda Lezcano; Rolf Ohlsson; Matthias Merkenschlager; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biology; Epigenetics; chromosome interactions; replication timing; histone modifications; epigenetic surveillance; Biologi; Biology; Biologi;

   Abstract : The genetic information required for the existence of a living cell of any kind is encoded in the sequence information scripted in the double helix DNA. A modern trend in biology struggles to come to grip with the amazing fact that there are so many different cell types in our body and that they are directed from the same genomic blueprint.

5. 3. Evaluation of a Measuring System for Determining Extensional Properties

   Author : Magda Nyström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; LPTT-model; Viscoelastic fluid; Boger fluid; numerical simulation; FENE-CR model; extensional rheology; White-Metzner model; hyperbolic contraction flow;

   Abstract : Effective and reliable characterisations of fluids are important to gain knowledge of thebehaviour and to govern the properties of a fluid. Since food products often are non-Newtonian, viscoelastic liquids, the characterisation becomes more complicated. READ MORE

6. 4. Extensional rheometry through hyperbolic contraction

   Author : Magda Nyström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; dysphagia; Boger fluid; hyperbolic contraction flow; extensional rheology; axisymmetric contraction–expansion; numerical simulation; Viscoelastic fluid; pressure drop;

   Abstract : To understand fluid rheology, properties such as consistency and viscosity are determined in both shear and extensional flow. Many commonly-used materials and formulations exhibit complex rheological properties and in order to determine the behaviour as well as predict and govern their properties, effective and reliable characterisation of these fluids is important.

7. 5. Leaching, filtration and displacement washing in a treatment process for MSW combustion fly ash - laboratory scale and plant studies

   Author : Magda Wilewska-Bien; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; washing; filtration; MSW; cyclone ash; : leaching; fly ash; MSWI ash;

   Abstract : Municipal Solid Waste combustion, as one of the waste management tools, starts to play an important role nowadays in heat and energy generation. However, MSW combustion leads to generation of other wastes - combustion residues, including ashes, which require a proper management. READ MORE
