i boken Konstuniversitetet

Högskoleutbildningarna inom det konstnärliga området är mångfasetterade och täcker många konstformer inom musik, dans, teater, cirkus, bild, foto, design, konsthantverk, textil, arkitektur, skrivande, för att bara nämna några. Uttrycken är publika, ofta förankrade i historia och tradition men även i ständig omförhandling med rådande samhällsdiskurser och kulturpolitik. Med boken Konstuniversitetet

With the increased pressure and challenges of economic, environmental, and social character, the need for innovations (including both thegeneration and adoption of innovations) that can be implemented in supply chains increases. A number of novel concepts focusing onintelligent logistics and packaging systems are being developed and tested in the food industry, all over the world.

Pierre Bourdieu has been an extraordinarily influential figure in the sociology of music. For over four decades, his concepts have helped to generate both empirical and theoretical interventions in the field of musical study. His impact on the sociology of music taste, in particular, has been profound, his ideas directly informing our understandings of how musical preferences reflect and reproduce

Polyurethane (PU) coatings are used in many industrial applications, like in the furniture and automotive sectors. The main objective of the present work is the re-design of polyester binder for PU coatings using a selection of monomers derived from biorefinery. A preliminary comparative evaluation of technological performances of the corresponding PU coatings is presented, showing that the introd

Placenames are seemingly universal, with the potential to reveal different systems of organizing information in everyday communication. We report on the relationship between placenames in Jahai, an indigenous language spoken by the Jahai people of the Malay Peninsula, and the environment. Our approach explores the tendency to organize names using a hierarchy of kinship associated with the cnεl, my

Large amounts of plastics are released into the environment every day. These released plastics have a clearly documented negative effect on wildlife. Much research attention has been given to large plastic pieces and microplastics. However, if the breakdown of plastics is a continous process, eventually nanoplastics will be produced. Nanoplastics will affect wildlife differently from larger plasti

The one-hour workshop, containing both a demonstration and hands-on experiments on the topic of nanosafety, is based on current science on a topic of general interest. The workshop aims to provide a deeper knowledge and understanding of nanoparticles.

This paper investigates how cross-linguistic phoneme distributions of 56 fundamental oppositional concepts can reveal semantic relationships by looking into the linguistic forms of 75 genetically and areally distributed languages. Based on proposals of semantic primes (Goddard & Wierzbicka 2002), reduced Swadesh lists (Holman et al. 2008), presumed ultraconservative words (Pagel et al. 2013),

Design requires thoughtful application of methods to broaden ones understanding of the task and to generate alternative solutions in the form of possible futures in relation to the task. These kind of activities implies learning. In an interaction design course for undergraduate engineering students, we noticed that students gave little effort to the usage of the design methodologies taught, and n

BACKGROUND: National European cancer survival rates vary widely. Prolonged diagnostic intervals are thought to be a key factor in explaining these variations. Primary care practitioners (PCPs) frequently play a crucial role during initial cancer diagnosis; their knowledge could be used to improve the planning of more effective approaches to earlier cancer diagnosis. OBJECTIVES: This study sought t

The ability to convert between molecular spin states is of utmost importance in materials chemistry. Förster-type energy transfer is based on dipole-dipole interactions and can therefore theoretically be used to convert between molecular spin states. Here, a molecular dyad that is capable of transferring energy from an excited triplet state to an excited singlet state is presented. The rate of con
