  2. 6. First-Principles Studies of Materials Properties : Pressure-Induced Phase Transitions & Functional Materials

    Author : Thanayut Kaewmaraya; Rajeev Ahuja; Scheicher Ralph; Naurang Saini; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Density functional theory; Pressure-induced phase transitions; Ab-initio molecular dynamic; hybrid functional; Ab-initio random structure searching; Phase change material; Physics with spec. in Atomic; Molecular and Condensed Matter Physics; Fysik med inriktning mot atom- molekyl- och kondenserande materiens fysik;

    Abstract : This thesis presents the first-principles studies of materials properties within the framework of the density functional theory (DFT). The thesis constitutes three main parts, i. e., pressure-induced phase transitions in solids, data-storage and clean-energy materials. READ MORE

  4. 7. Polymer-Mediated Interactions and Phase Behaviour of Polymer-Particle Dispersions

    Author : Sara Haddadi; Beräkningskemi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Simulations; Experiments; Particles; Phase transition; Stability; capillary induced phase separation; Polymer solutions; phase diagram; surface effects; Bulk properties;

    Abstract : Interactions between colloidal particles can be modelled by particles grafted with polymers. In this work, structural and physical properties of colloids are investigated under variation of parameters such as pH, ionic strength, and temperature, where aggregation and cluster formation can be monitored in aqueous solution.

  5. 8. Barriers to change? : understanding the institutional hurdles in the Russian forest sector

    Author : Mats-Olov Olsson; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Political Science; Statsvetenskap;

    Abstract : The ongoing transformation of the Russian society largely consists in changes in the institutional framework constraining actors' behavior in the emerging market economy. While we have a substantial knowledge about the functioning of a market economy we know very little about how to create such a system. READ MORE

  6. 9. Continuity and change : institutions and transition in the Russian forest sector

    Author : Mats-Olov Olsson; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Political Science; Statsvetenskap;

    Abstract : This thesis analyses the relation between institutions and the emergence of markets in the context of the Russian transition since the beginning of the 1990s. Introducing democracy and market economic relations in Russia are goals that require profound changes in the institutional framework inherited from the Soviet Union. READ MORE

  7. 10. Clinical reasoning focused on clients’ behaviour change in physiotherapy : Development and evaluation of the Reasoning 4 Change instrument

    Author : Maria Elvén; Anne Söderlund; Jacek Hochwälder; Elizabeth Dean; Lena Nilsson-Wikmar; Mälardalens högskola; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Assessment; Behaviour change; Clinical reasoning; Education; Functional behavioural analysis; Physiotherapy; Reliability; Scale development; Validity; fysioterapi; Physiotherapy;

    Abstract : With the recognition of the impact of lifestyle behaviours on health and the evidence of incorporating behavioural considerations in physiotherapy, there is a need to advance the clinical reasoning of physiotherapists. Clinical reasoning encompasses the thinking and decision-making processes guiding client management and is a core competency of physiotherapists. READ MORE
