This research emerges from an ongoing debate about the plans of building a new Munch Museum in Oslo, Norway. In 2009 the proposal Lambda won the architectural competition issued by Oslo Municipality, and since then a conflict has accumulated regarding the architectural design, if the building fulfills the normative functions of an art museum, and what role the art museum plays as a knowledge-based
This book is about how sustainability criteria may be used in a legal framework, with the purpose to promote and safeguard sustainable products and their production. The research and analysis in the book are conducted on the basis of the EU approach to use sustainability criteria for biofuels in the transport sector, legally expressed in Directive 2009/28/EC, and its amendments in Directive 2015/1
Today’s society promises that people with disabilities can access anything, but in practice there are numerous obstacles, and the ways in which people deal with them can be easily missed or taken for granted by policy makers. This article draws on a project in which researchers ‘go along’ people with disabilities in Sweden who demonstrate and recount accessibility troubles in urban and digital set
The article deals with the influence of the machining induced surface integrity on tensile properties of 99.99% purity Oxygen-Free Pitch copper (OFC), used in nuclear and research facilities. The increase in the feed in machining was found to lead to an increase, up to 55%, in yield strength of the OFC specimens. Intensive sub-surface deformation and a high degree of work-hardening in the near-sur
In many clinical cases a dentist may feel certain when for example diagnosing, deciding on treatment, or assessing the prognosis—in other cases many dentists may feel a degree of doubt or uncertainty. This paper aims to explore the philosophical concept of uncertainty and its different dimensions, using the condition “persistent apical periodontitis associated with a previously root filled tooth”
A considerable amount of mineral particles are found to have a plate-like shape. The work in this thesis concerns theoretical investigations, using Monte Carlo method, of the properties of such particles in aqueous solutions. The objectives were first to create a model that could capture the essential physics of clay suspensions and also to understand the role of thermodynamics in certain chemical
In the contemporary dual crisis, economic crisis policies cannot be dealt with in isolation from the rampant and acute ecological crisis – and vice versa. In this article, we challenge the hegemonic positions in purported attempts to solve the crises so far: in the economic realm, the Keynesian episode of 2008–2009 as well as austerity policies, and with regard to the ecological crisis, ecological
Artificial Intelligence in Cardiothoracic Science was funded 2006. Traditionally, medical decisions are based on the combined strength of clinical facts and the experience of the clinician. A growing understanding of the molecular, genetic and biochemical basis of diseases have greatly increased the degree of complexity in medical decision-making. To identify risk factors in medical registers, a nArtificial Intelligence in Cardiothoracic Science was funded 2006.

In the face of contemporary challenges such as globalization, climate crisis and a shifting labour market, digital technology is often presented as a solution and enabler for innovation. This is the case also within the area of higher education (HE), as universities are expected to adjust to societal trends framed as the knowledge-intensive economy, increased individualization, life-long learning
