2. 1. Mobilising care : Ecuadorian families and transnational lives between Ecuador and Spain

   Author : Gladis Aguirre Vidal; Johan Lindquist; Gudrun Dahl; Mark Johnson; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; care; migration; transnationalism; moral practice; women; kinship; family; labour; Ecuador; Spain; socialantropologi; Social Anthropology;

   Abstract : This thesis focuses on the dynamics of care in the transnational lives of Ecuadorian migrant women in Spain. It is concerned with the various forms of care that take shape and are sustained in the workplace, between friends, and among family members in Ecuador and Spain. READ MORE

4. 2. Adsorption of molecular thin films on metal and metal oxide surfaces

   Author : Zahra Besharat; Mats Göthelid; Mark Rutland; Magnus Johnson; W. Gregory Sawyer; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Self assembled monolayer SAM ; dye synthesis solar cell DSSC ; thiol; selenol; Cu2O 100 ; Cu2O 111 and dehydrogenation; Fysik; Physics; Teknisk materialvetenskap; Materials Science and Engineering;

   Abstract : Metal and metal oxides are widely used in industry, and to optimize their performance their surfaces are commonly functionalized by the formation of thin films. Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) are deposited on metals or metal oxides either from solution or by gas deposition. READ MORE

5. 3. Glacial geology of Bayan Har Shan, northeastern Tibetan Plateau

   Author : Jakob Heyman; Arjen P Stroeven; Clas Hättestrand; Helena Alexanderson; Mark D Johnson; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Physical geography; Naturgeografi; Physical Geography; naturgeografi;

   Abstract : The paleoglaciology of the Tibetan Plateau is still largely unexplored, despite its importance for regional and global climate reconstructions. In this thesis a comprehensive glacial geological record is presented from an extensive part of the northeastern Tibetan Plateau centred on the Bayan Har Shan. READ MORE

6. 4. A Spectroscopic Study of Interfacial Films: Internal Structuring, Stability, and Hydration

   Author : Jonathan F. D. Liljeblad; Mark W. Rutland; C. Magnus Johnson; Rob Walker; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Monolayers of molecules are capable of completely changing the nature of surfaces and their interactions with the surroundings despite their almost negligible thickness. In the research presented in this doctoral thesis the surface specific technique Vibrational Sum Frequency Spectroscopy (VSFS) was combined with the Langmuir trough to investigate various manifestations of monolayers, such as biomimetic membranes, mono methyl branched long chain fatty acids in contact with air, and hydrophobic silane monolayers in contact with water.

7. 5. Biomimetic Membranes: : Molecular Structure and Stability Studies by Vibrational Sum Frequency Spectroscopy

   Author : Jonathan F.D. Liljeblad; Mark W. Rutland; Magnus C. Johnson; Tore Brinck; Lars Kloo; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Vibrational Sum Frequency Spectroscopy VSFS ; Langmuir monolayer; LB depositon; phospholipids; oxidation; biomimetic membranes; Surface and colloid chemistry; Yt- och kolloidkemi;

   Abstract : In the research presented in this licentiate thesis the surface specific technique Vibrational Sum Frequency Spectroscopy, VSFS, combined with the Langmuir trough has been utilized to investigate Langmuir monolayers and Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) deposited mono- and bilayers of phospholipids. Their molecular structure, stability, and hydration were probed to gain additional understanding of important properties aiming at facilitating the use of such layers as model systems for biological membranes.
