2. 1. Matter that matters : A study of household routines in a process of changing water and sanitation arrangements

   Author : Helena Krantz; Jan-Olof Drangert; Elin Wihlborg; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Urban water and sanitation arrangements; change; routines; everyday life; household management; water use; pocket of local order; matter out of place; comfort; cleanliness; convenience; sustainability; households; Miljöteknik; teknisk hygien; vatten och avlopp; Water in nature and society; Vatten i natur och samhälle;

   Abstract : Our society changed, but the urban water and sanitation system of today is roughly the same as it was 100 years ago. The system is designed for, developed from and sustained by human activities, and has since its introduction affected household patterns of routine activities. READ MORE

4. 2. X-ray structure analysis of short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases

   Author : Jordi Benach-Andreu; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : crystal structure; short-chain dehydrogenases reductases; Drosophila alcohol dehydrogenase; catalytic reaction mechanism; Comamonas testosteroni 3[beta] 17[beta]hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase;

   Abstract : X-ray crystallography and site-directed mutagenesis were used to better understand the structure/function relationships in the family of short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDR). This group of enzymes constitutes a protein family with at least 60 members with highly diverse functions in pro- and eukaryotes. READ MORE

5. 3. Direct numerical simulations of the rotating-disk boundary-layer flow

   Author : Ellinor Appelquist; Philipp Schlatter; Henrik Alfredsson; Rebecca Lingwood; Christopher Davies; KTH; []
   Keywords : Fluid mechanics; boundary layer; rotating disk; laminar-turbulent transition; convective instability; absolute instability; secondary instability; crossflow instability; direct numerical simulations; Teknisk mekanik; Engineering Mechanics;

   Abstract : This thesis deals with the instabilities of the incompressible boundary-layer flow that is induced by a disk rotating in otherwise still fluid. The results presented are mostly limited to linear instabilities derived from direct numerical simulations (DNS) but with the objective that further work will focus on the nonlinear regime, providing greater insights into the transition route to turbulence.

6. 4. The Chiranjeevi Yojana (CY) : a public-private-partnership to promote institutional births in Gujarat, India : studies of providers and users

   Author : Veena Iyer; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Introduction: National, regional and local governments, particularly in lower middleincome countries, are encouraged to pursue partnerships with the pool of private providers available to them, in order to achieve the Sustainable Development Goal for maternal health. The state of Gujarat in India (population 60 million) has been a pioneer in designing a large-scale Public-Private-Partnership (PPP), the Chiranjeevi Yojana (CY), for emergency obstetric care (EmOC) for vulnerable women through qualified obstetricians.

   Author : Martin Eckhardt; Magnus Falk; Tomas Faresjö; Birger Forsberg; Miguel San Sebastián; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Background: By the turn of the new millennium 84% of families in rural coastal Ecuador had difficulties to access health services. A health reform some years earlier to improve this situation had not been implemented. READ MORE
