The democratic peace theory explains why liberal democratic states do not engage in war with one another. According to Michael Doyle, the theory rests on three pillars, which together explain the democratic peace - whereas one of which pillars is of interest for this thesis. The cosmopolitan pillar is concerned with the “spirit of commerce”, that is, international trade and economic interdependenc
This is a study of the Swedish governments control over pathologicalized bodies. I have carried out a genealogical analysis of Swedish government official reports concerning forced sterilizations. The purpose of the study was to find out in which ways the Swedish government controls and restricts “certain kinds” of bodies when it comes to reproduction. With theoretical influences from Judith Butle
Popular Abstract in Swedish Parkinsons sjukdom är en av de vanligaste neurologiska sjukdomarna i västvärlden. Vad som orsakar sjukdomen är fortfarande okänt men det betyder sannolikt att det är många faktorer som samverkar för att leda fram till sjukdomen. De mest framträdande symptomen i Parkinsons sjukdom är stelhet, oförmåga att initiera rörelser (s.k. akinesi), balanssvårigheter och tremor (da
III-Nitride (III-N) materials are promising building blocks of optoelectronic devices such as light emitting diode and laser diode due to the unique material properties. Furthermore, direct and tunable band gaps of III-N materials enable them to cover the entire visible-UV region of electromagnetic spectrum for device applications. Even though the possibility of the fabrication of many devices bas
The cost of ownership of a power plant is partly governed by the efficiency of the turbine island. The turbine stands for the production revenues when transforming the energy in fuel into electric power and district heating. One gauge of the quality of the individual processes is the component efficiency - the current work addresses the turbine part of the power plant. The turbine efficiency is d
Popular Abstract in Swedish I ett väderälskande land som Sverige finns det väl ingen som inte är bekant med den väderkarta som ger oss information om hur prognosen för den närmaste tiden ser ut? Många av oss tittar dagligen på väderrapporten och låter den hjälpa oss att bestämma om vi ska cykla eller ta bussen, sätta på grillen eller laga mat i ugnen. Genom enkla visualiseringar i form av sol, regWith the aid of modern computer technology the application of visualization and simulation technology has become increasingly important in today’s society. Through computer modelling it is possible to experience, understand and explore environments, systems or objects in two or three dimensions and to see, hear and sometimes tangibly feel them. It may be environments or objects that do not yet exi
Every living cell is surrounded by a cell membrane that is made up of amphipathicphospholipids, separating the aqueous solutions inside and outside the cell with ahydrophobic barrier. This compartmentalization is a prerequisite for life, but so arethe many molecules that are floating in the membrane, altering its properties andconnecting the inside with the outside. An important group are the tran
The demographic patterns in developing countries have significantly changed in the recent few decades due to the impact of urbanization. The urbanization process has created new challenges; and the enormous divide between haves and have nots has become a defining feature of contemporary urban spaces. The advent of neo liberal globalisation and the integration of developing countries in to the glob
En järnväg kommer till en ort som tidigare saknat tågtrafik. En station ska byggas och passas in i en befintlig struktur. Nya möjligheter till att pendla skapas, till arbetsplatser och utbildning på andra orter. Fler får också möjlighet att besöka orten tack vare järnvägen. Under järnvägsbyggandets guldålder för drygt 100 år sedan kunde orter få en enorm tillväxt tack vara den nya förbindelsen ochThe places close to where a new railway line and new stations are established, are hugely affected by the arrival of this new mode of transportation. New possibilities to travel further in the same time as before, or the same distance in half the time, significantly increases the opportunities for both commuting and for visiting places. Historically, new villages or even towns have sprung up as
Popular Abstract in Swedish Kraven på bränslesnåla och rena motorer har ökat under de senaste åren. Det började med att priset på olja steg kraftigt i början av 2000-talet. Kraven växte sedan ytterligare i kölvattnet av debatten kring växthuseffekten där koldioxid, en av de dominerande produkterna vid förbränning, spelar huvudrollen. Med tanke på att sänkt bränsleförbrukning rör både ekonomiska oc
