   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; architectural flirtations; architectural pedagogy; queer feminist theory; architectural critique; Camp; design practice research; performativity; experimental writing practices; critical fiction; critical architectural theory; Aldo Rossi; ‘significant otherness’; Arkitektur; Architecture;

   Abstract : Formulated as a feminist project, written as a pulp fiction, Architectural Flirtations: A Love Storey begins with our claim that the architectural discipline is centered around a culture of critique, which is based in what bell hooks calls “a system of imperialist, white supremacist, heterosexist, capitalist, patriarchy,” and that the values instilled by this culture not only begin with, but are reinforced and reproduced by, the education of young architects.Sounds serious.

4. 2. Designing with Urban Sound : Exploring methods for qualitative sound analysis of the built environment

   Author : Nina Hällgren; Katja Grillner; Björn Hellström; Gunnar Sandin; KTH; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Architectue; urban sound design; urban sound planning; soundscape; urban planning; artistic research; architectural research;

   Abstract : The licentiate thesis Designing with Urban Sound explores the constitution and qualitative characteristics of urban sonic space from a design-oriented and practice-based perspective. The act of lifting forth and illuminating the interaction between architecture, the creation of sound and a sonic experience aims to examine and develop useful tools and methods for the representation, communication and analysis of the exterior sonic environment in complex architectural spaces.

6. 4. Ab initio modelling of interfaces in nanocomposites for high voltage insulation

   Author : Elena Kubyshkina; B. Lars G. Jonsson; Mikael Unge; Per-Olof Åstrand; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

   Abstract : Dielectric nanocomposite materials have been experimentally proven to have properties that are beneficial in applications for efficient energy transport. However, today there are still no empirical models or rules that can predict the performance of a certain combination of materials in the nanocomposite, and there are also no definitive explanations of their dielectric behavior.

7. 5. Faculty development in medical education : a comprehensive approach

   Author : Soleiman Ahmady; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : Medical education; healthcare; faculty development; faculty evaluation; integration; reform; multiple roles;

   Abstract : The functioning and success of all medical universities and schools depends almost entirely on faculty members, on how well these individuals teach, the quality of the clinical services and healthcare they provide, and their contributions to scholarly activities. If faculty members are to be able to fulfil the mission and multiple roles of their institutions, besides having skills in clinical practice and healthcare delivery, they need diverse proficiencies in areas such as education and leadership.
