2. 1. "In general, how do you feel today?" Self-rated health in the context of aging in India

   Author : Siddhivinayak Hirve; Nawi Ng; Stig Wall; Yulia Blomstedt; Stephen M. Tollman; SV Subramanian; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Self-rated health; quality of life; aging; mortality; disability; reportingheterogeneity; anchoring vignettes; India; epidemiologi; Epidemiology;

   Abstract : Background: Most aging research comes from the developed world. Aging research in India is focused on disease states and risk factors. Evidence on elderly health, physical performance and disability to understand the psycho-social or socio-behavioral risk is limited in India. READ MORE

4. 2. Justice and the Prejudices of Culture : On Choice, Social Background and Unequal Opportunities in the Liberal Society

   Author : Marcus Ohlström; Linnéuniversitetet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Liberalism; culture; justice; equality of opportunity; esteem; self-esteem; John Rawls; Statsvetenskap; Political Science;

   Abstract : Egalitarian liberal theories of justice – so this dissertation argues – fail to take into accountthe full implications of the way citizens’ socio-cultural backgrounds work to undermine theequal opportunities these same theories demand. While egalitarians support extensiveredistribution of income and wealth from the privileged to the less privileged, and advocateequal opportunities for all, they do not properly attend either to how our shared societalcultures structure social esteem and related advantages, or to how our individual socioculturalenvironments structure the very act of choice.

5. 3. Femininity at Work : Gender, Labour, and Changing Relations of Power in a Swedish Hospital

   Author : Rebecca Selberg; Gunnar Olofsson; Diana Mulinari; Jeff Hearn; Linnéuniversitetet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Care; Gender; Femininity; Nursing; Labour process; Ethnography; Neoliberalism; Work Life Studies; Arbetlivsvetenskap; Gender Studies; Genusvetenskap;

   Abstract : Gender scholarship has identified how paid care work reproduces male dominance and reinforces women’s subordination, but also how labour and workplaces provide a critical space for women through the development of new forms of identity and struggle. In this ethnographic study of Swedish nurses’ work, the concept of normative femininity is used in order to explore gender, labour, and changing relations of power in the context of the neoliberal transformation of the Swedish welfare state.

6. 4. Microstructure model for Ti-6Al-4V used in simulation of additive manufacturing

   Author : Corinne Charles Murgau; Lars-Erik Lindgren; Niklas Järvstråt; Robert Pederson; Sören Sjöström; Högskolan Väst; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Titanium alloy; Ti-6Al-4V; Welding; Metal deposition; Additive manufacturing; Wire feed; Finite Element Method; Microstructure model; Johnson-Mehl-Avrami- Kolmogorov; Thermally driven; Production Technology; Produktionsteknik; Manufacturing and materials engineering; Produktions- och materialteknik; Material Mechanics;

   Abstract : This thesis is devoted to microstructure modelling of Ti-6Al-4V. The microstructure and the mechanical properties of titanium alloys are highly dependent on the temperature history experienced by the material. The developed microstructure model accounts for thermaldriving forces and is applicable for general temperature histories. READ MORE

7. 5. Gas Metal Arc Melt Pool Modelling : Effect of welding position and electromagnetic force mode

   Author : Pradip Aryal; Isabelle Choquet; Högskolan Väst; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Gas metal arc welding; Gravitational force; Substrate orientation; Electromagnetic force modelling; Free surface deformation; Computational Fluid Dynamics; OpenFOAM; Gasmetallbågsvetsning; Gravitation; Svetsläge; Elektromagnetisk kraftmodellering; Smältytans rörelser; Computational Fluid Dynamics; OpenFOAM; Production Technology; Produktionsteknik;

   Abstract : Gas metal arc is a high-efficiency and widely used heat source for metal processing applied predominantly in welding and additive manufacturing. In this study, it was applied to welding. READ MORE
