Samhällsvetenskaplig forskning äger vanligen rum ytterst stillsamt, bland högar av papper och böcker, vid datorskärmar och på seminarier. Men ibland händer det något. En dag kan man få tag i en text som hjälper en att skärpa blicken, få ordning på intrycken och energi nog att börja argumentera. Materialet faller på plats och forskningen går faktiskt framåt. Det handlar om teoretiska händelser –

Background The purpose of the article is to research and analyze the notion of sustainability criteria in their function of an emerging tool to promote and safeguard sustainable products and their sustainable production. The article addresses critical issues, which are important for deeper understanding of sustainability criteria and their practical use. In this, the article examines the existing

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to analyze the effect of thermal conductivity on gas turbine blades, and to investigate the contribution of different rib configurations to the heat flux and the film cooling effectiveness. Design/methodology/approach - The Renormalization Group (RNG) model with enhanced wall treatment was used for the turbulence modeling, and the SIMPLE algorithm was used to

The review of Kristina Fjelkestam’s Det sublimas politik: emancipatorisk estetik i 1800-talets konstnärsromaner [Sublime politics: emancipatory aesthetics in nineteenth-century Künstlerromane] focuses on how the author makes use of the sublime as a means to connect three women writers use of the Künstlerromane in their political, emancipatory projects. On the other hand, the review also deals with

High-energy synchrotron X-ray diffraction offers the unique combination of high spatial resolution and bulk material penetration power, which is well suited for the investigation of strain fields around cracks in engineering materials. The speed of data acquisition also lends itself to the observation of in-situ processes, such as crack propagation. This potential has been only partially explored

Måltiderna ska lösas intellektuellt, praktiskt och emotionellt. Flera gånger varje dag. Hur hittar unga familjer matinspiration under vardagens tidspress? Och hur klarar de vardagens ”hot spot” mellan 17 och 18? Att handla mat och komponera vardagens måltider är en ständigt pågående problemlösningsprocess. Den som har ansvaret behöver idéer, inte alltid nyskapande och dramatiska, men ändå någon

The Price of Democracy and the Value of Literature : Books, Politics, and the Literary Market with Respect to the 2002 Reduction in VAT on Books in Sweden In 2002 the VAT (value added tax) on books in Sweden was reduced from 25% to 6 %. The reduction was effected in response to a cultural policy, whose aim was to ”improve the conditions for literature and reading” and ”stimulate a diversifed out

Background: The concerted effects of changes in gene expression due to changes in the environment are ultimately reflected in the metabolome. Dynamics of metabolite concentrations under a certain condition can therefore give a description of the cellular state with a high degree of functional information. We used this potential to evaluate the metabolic status of two recombinant strains of Sacchar
