When the air went viral: Exploring SARS-CoV-2 in aerosols during the covid-19 pandemic

Despite the enormous economic and health-related burdens caused by respiratory infectious diseases globally, there are significant knowledge gaps regarding how these are spread by aerosols. The covid-19 pandemic made it clear that understanding airborne transmission is especially important in healthcare, where workers and patients are highly exposed to sources of virus. This thesis aims to advance

Nordic Academic Feminism and Whiteness as Epistemic Habit

This chapter is a contribution to ongoing discussions about Nordic academic feminism. It asks why and how this field continues to assume and reproduce whiteness as its naturalised point of departure and orientation and for forming a Nordic feminist “we.” It is largely conceptual, and I draw on a lived archive of 15 years of participant observation in ”Nordic” academic feminism as it has taken shap

From the perspective of political philosophy, the incest taboo appears as problem of an unruly human nature that must be subjected to a foundational civilizing law. To this end, the taboo’s authority seems to derive from its ability to evict tendencies and desires tha

Assessment of a hand-held CZT-based gamma camera for pre-clinical imaging of 177Lu

A small CdZnTe-based hand-held gamma-camera has been acquired, intended to be used for preclinical imaging. The camera produces images of size 4 cm x 4 cm with an image-matrix of 16 x 16 pixels and can be equipped with a low-energy high-sensitivity (LEHS) or a high-resolution (LEHR) parallel-hole collimator. Pre-clinical imaging involves scales smaller than what the camera is typically used for, a
