  2. 1. Change and Progress in Disaster Risk Reduction

    Author : Maximilian S. T. Wanner; Daniel Nohrstedt; Charles F. Parker; Andreas Duit; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; public policy; sustainable development; disaster risk reduction; adaptation; international environmental agreements; soft law; regime effectiveness; Hyogo Framework for Action; Fiji; Nepal; Statskunskap; Political Science;

    Abstract : Human-induced climate change is projected to increase the frequency and magnitude of natural hazard events, posing a growing global threat to lives, livelihoods, and assets. Much past research on disaster risk reduction (DRR) has focused on failures of disaster management, while less attention has been devoted to how DRR has changed or improved over time. READ MORE

  4. 2. Without mast, without sails, without compass : Non-traditional trajectories into higher education and the duality of the folk-market

    Author : Reed T. Curtis; Klara Bolander Laksov; Max Scheja; Fredrik Hertzberg; Rie Thomsen; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; educational trajectories; self-efficacy; collective efficacy; sociocultural history; Sweden; neoliberalism; education; university; school choice; career guidance; statist individualism; folkhem; transitions; pragmatism; late modernity; pedagogik; Education;

    Abstract : In 1809, the trajectory of Swedish history and the identities associated with the country changed after Finland was lost to Russia. Swedish General von Döbeln explained that the loss left the nation "without mast, without sails, without compass." The research within this dissertation is not of war but of a similar sense of loss.

    Abstract : The recent emergence of a number of new viral diseases as well as the re-emergence of tuberculosis (TB), indicate an urgent need for new drugs against viral and bacterial infections.Coronavirus nsp1 has been shown to induce suppression of host gene expression and interfere with host immune response.

  6. 4. Effects of surface plasmons in subwavelength metallic structures

    Author : Srinivasan Iyer; Ari T. Friberg; N. Asger Mortensen; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; suface plasmons; extraordinary transmission; metamaterials; shnets; split-ring resonators; plasmon-induced EIT; optical antennas; plasmonics;

    Abstract : The study of optical phenomena related to the strong electromagnetic response of noble metals (silver (Ag) and gold (Au) being most popular) over the last couple of decades has led to the emergence of a fast growing research area called plasmonics named after 'surface plasmons' which are electron density waves that propagate along the interface of a metal and a dielectric medium. Surface plasmons are formed by the coupling of light to the electrons on the metal surface subject to the fulfillment of certain physical conditions and they are bound to the metal surface.

  7. 5. Shape and Being Shaped : Sketching with Haptics in Soma Design

    Author : Charles Windlin; Kristina Höök; Jarmo Laaksolahti; Anders Lundström; Bill Buxton; KTH; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Sketching; Soma Design; Constructive Design Research; Haptic Interaction Design; first-person; Människa-datorinteraktion; Human-computer Interaction;

    Abstract : Sketching is an integral part of the design process, and it often occurs in the early ideation phase where the focus is on expressing ideas, thoughts, and emotions, allowing them to take shape and making it possible to share them with others to propel the design process forwards. In principle, sketching is a process of externalising thoughts into visualisations, and it influences the creator and collaborators by enabling them to realise and reflect on the possibility and viability of their ideas and develop them further by adding to or subtracting from the sketches.
