  2. 1. Use of thermosyphons in a subarctic climate

    Author : Anna Forsström; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Soil Mechanics; Geoteknik;

    Abstract : In frozen ground, climatic changes and thermal disturbance might cause thawing and degradation of ground previously frozen. Foundations built on frozen ground might be destroyed in a matter of a few seasons. These problems are mostly pronounced in permafrost regions, but also exist in regions with more moderate climates.

  4. 2. Properties of snow with applications related to climate change and skiing

    Author : Nina Lintzén; Sven Knutsson; Lars-Erik Persson; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Soil Mechanics; Geoteknik;

    Abstract : Snow has been a subject of research since the mid-20th century. Research on mechanical properties of snow started as an off-shoot of soil mechanics, where methods, tools and instruments used often are the same. However, during the last decades the winter business industry has been growing requiring a number of new fields of research. READ MORE

  5. 3. Global Lifestyles : Constructions of Places and Identities in Travel Journalism

    Abstract : This dissertation studies representations of globalization by analyzing travel journalism in two magazines from 1982 to 2008. Globalization discourses are studied through an analysis of how places and identities are constructed. READ MORE

  6. 4. Exact Results in Supersymmetric Field Theories : A dissertation on the defect and deformed

    Author : Erik Widen; Konstantin Zarembo; Nikolay Gromov; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; AdS CFT correspondence; integrability; localization; supersymmetric deformations; Quantum Spectral Curve; defect CFT; one-point functions; Theoretical Physics; Teoretisk fysik;

    Abstract : Quantum field theories (QFTs) are the most precise descriptions of the physical reality that humanity has found. Yet exact predictions are often missing as most computations are notoriously difficult to carry out. One generally resorts to perturbation theory which immediately limits the regime of validity.

  7. 5. Restructuring and employment change in sparsely populated areas : examples from Northern Sweden and Finland

    Author : Linda Lundmark; Ulf Wiberg; Bruno Jansson; Kerstin Westin; Jarkko Saarinen; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Reconstructing; sparsely populated areas; tourism employment; forest-related employment; amenities; mobility; migration; Human geography; Kulturgeografi;

    Abstract : The purpose of this thesis is to examine ongoing restructuring and its impacts on sparsely populated areas in Sweden and Finland. In the context of sparsely populated areas, the global processes have great local impact because of their poor capacity to adapt to rapid economic changes. READ MORE
