    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Space; sound; body; embodied; spatial; scenography; sonic scenography; participation; music; composition; singing; spatial sonic expression; ephemeral community; mattering; seeding; seminando; site; site-sensitive; site-specific; relation; co-creation; collaboration; spaces as voice teachers; listening into; listening; landing; space-care; the body of sound; un-un-listening; voice; interaction; spatial sound performance; senses; in-between; sense-based; Aesthetic subjects; Estetiska ämnen; Utbildning på forskarnivå i performativa och mediala praktiker; Third-Cycle Studies in Performative and Mediated Practices; Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Fine Arts in Performative and Media Based Practices with Specialisation in Opera; Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Fine Arts in Performative and Media Based Practices with Specialisation in Opera;

    Abstract : This practical artistic research project (Documented Artistic Research Project (Doctoral Thesis)) explores how the performance of acoustic sound in dialogue with site can create a sonic scenography, experienced by an audience from within the sonic structures. Six art projects were carried out in the context of this research.

  4. 12. Antimicrobial Polymer Composites for Medical Applications

    Author : Peter Kaali; Sigbritt Karlsson; Ferruccio Doghieri; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; medical polymers; antimicrobial; body fluids; degradation; Polymer chemistry; Polymerkemi;

    Abstract : The current study and discuss the long-term properties of biomedical polymers in vitro and invivo and presents means to design and manufacture antimicrobial composites. Antimicrobialcomposites with reduced tendency for biofilm formation should lead to lower risk for medicaldevice associated infection. READ MORE

  5. 13. Designing Affective Loop Experiences

    Author : Petra Sundström; Kristina Höök; Alex Taylor; John Zimmerman; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Design; Interaction; Communication; Mobile; Emotion; Body; Digital material; Computer and systems science; Data- och systemvetenskap; Man-Machine-Interaction MMI ; människa-maskin-interaktion mmi ;

    Abstract : There is a lack of attention to the emotional and the physical aspects of communication in how we up to now have been approaching communication between people in the field of Human Computer Interaction (HCI). As designers of digital communication tools we need to consider altering the underlying model for communication that has been prevailing in HCI: the information transfer model. READ MORE

  6. 14. Breaking and Making Bodies and Pots : Material and Ritual Practices in Sweden in the Third Millennium BC

    Author : Åsa Maria Larsson; Anders Kaliff; Jan Storå; Joanna Sofaer; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Middle Neolithic; Late Neolithic; Pitted Ware culture; Battle Axe culture; Corded Ware culture; pottery; pottery technology; craft; chaîne opératoire; mortuary archaeology; mortuary house; burial; ritual; defleshing; cremation; secondary mortuary practice; osteology; ethnoarchaeology; culture; culture change; identity; ethnicity; practice; cognition; body; embodiment; Archaeology; North European; Arkeologi; nordeuropeisk; arkeologi; Archaeology;

    Abstract : In South Sweden the third millennium BC is characterised by coastal settlements of marine hunter-gatherers known as the Pitted Ware culture, and inland settlements of the Battle Axe culture. This thesis outlines the history of research of the Middle Neolithic B in general and that of the pottery and burial practices in particular. READ MORE

  7. 15. Temperature dependent mechanical properties of as-cast steels : Experimental and theoretical studies

    Author : Zhihua Dong; Levente Vitos; Imre Bakonyi; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Abstract : The temperature-dependent mechanical properties of steels are important to avoid processing defects, to understand and to improve the high-temperature performance. At the same time, having access to thermal properties gives us opportunity to assess the first-principles theoretical predictions at elevated temperatures. READ MORE
