The first part of the course is an overview of the population debate over the past 50 years and its intellectual roots. This part includes theories explaining both the influence of population growth on economic, social, and environmental development and vice-versa. Examples are given, showing how the theories have been used to explain the historical development of population and living standards sThe first part of the course is an overview of the population debate over the past 50 years and its intellectual roots.

Företag och organisationer befinner sig i alltmer komplexa och svårtolkade situationer som ofta beskrivs som föränderliga, oförutsägbara och mångtydiga. Det har konsekvenser för behov av och former för ledarskap. Kursen förmedlar och övar användningen av språk, begrepp, modeller och verktyg för att beskriva och analysera ledarskap i komplexa situationer. Kursen har följande fokusområden GrundlägCompanies and organizations find themselves in increasingly more complex and difficult-to-interpret situations that are often described as changing, unpredictable and ambiguous. This has consequences for the need for and forms of leadership. The course conveys and practices the use of a language, concepts, models and tools to describe and analyze leadership in complex situations. The course has th

I denna kurs får du lära dig hur metoder från matematik och beräkningsfysik kan appliceras på biologiska problem. Kursen behandlar bland annat deterministiska och stokastiska simuleringar av biokemiska system, populationsmodeller, spatiella modeller och parameteroptimering.In this course you will learn how mathematical and computational physics methods can be applied to biological problems. Topics include deterministic and stochastic simulations of biochemical systems, population models, spatial models and parameter optimization.

I kursen introduceras kognitiv semiotik som ett närmande som kombinerar insikter hämtade från såväl semiotik som lingvistik och kognitionsvetenskap. Grundläggande begrepp som tecken, betydelse, kommunikation, medvetande, kultur, ikonicitet, indexikalitet, normativitet, livsvärld, evolution, utveckling, m.fl. exemplifieras med exempel framför allt från språk, bilder och kultur. Perspektivet i kurseThe course introduces cognitive semiotics as a field in which insights from semiotics, linguistics and cognitive science are brought together. Basic concepts such as signs, meaning, communication, mind, culture, iconicity, indexicality, normativity, life world, evolution, development etc. are exemplified by, above all, language, images and culture. The perspective of the course is based on compari

Kursen är inriktad på urban och regional planering och hur dessa verksamheter kan möta ekonomiska, miljömässiga och sociala utmaningar på ett hållbart sätt. Teoretiska perspektiv från framför allt ekonomisk geografi kopplas till utmaningarna och ställs i relation till planeringspraxis i olika samhälleliga sammanhang. I synnerhet behandlas de olika villkoren för kärnområden och randområden. The course focuses on urban and regional planning and how these activities can manage economic, environmental and social challenges in sustainable ways. Theoretical perspectives, mainly in economic geography, are related to these challenges and then confronted with planning practices in different societal contexts. Especially the different preconditions for core regions and non-core regions are h

Du lär dig identifiera och bedöma risker och sårbarhet inom områden som t.ex. exponering för kemikalier, arters utdöende, inflyttning av invasiva arter och epidemiologi samt att arbeta med de vanligaste riskhanteringsmodellerna som används inom natur-, miljö- och hälsoområdena. Kursen omfattar områdena riskidentifiering, riskbedömning, riskvärdering, riskhantering och riskkommunikation.You learn to identify and assess risks and vulnerability in areas such as e.g. exposure to chemicals, species extinction, introduction of invasive species and epidemiology as well as working with the most common risk management models used in the nature, environment and health fields. The course covers the areas of risk identification, risk assessment, risk valuation, risk management and

Kursen introducerar studenter för ett representativt urval dikter från den brittiska romantiska perioden (c. 1770-1830). Det här var en tid av omvälvande konstnärliga, samhälleliga, vetenskapliga och kunskapsmässiga förändringar, och som också såg tillkomsten av det 'moderna' Europa. Många av de kulturella debatter som fortfarande sysselsätter Europa idag härrör från denna tid. Poesi spelade en vi

The programme is organised into three different tracks. When applying for the programme, you also select which track you are specialising in. The different tracks share courses to some extent. The process of economic development essentially rests on the interaction of its three pillars: income per capita growth, distribution of the fruits of growth and structural change.

Detta examensarbete utvärderar ett absorptionshämmande tillsatsmedel för att möjliggöra användningen av krävande ballast vid betongtillverkning. Den huvudsakliga anledningen till att ballasten benämns som krävande är att den har ovanligt hög absorptionsförmåga. Studien undersöker hur betongens egenskaper påverkas av olika halter absorptionshämmare. Dels studerades glimmerrikt bergkrossmaterial, soThis master thesis evaluates an absorption-inhibiting admixture to enable the use of demanding aggregate materials in concrete production. This was achieved by investigating how the properties of concrete were affected by different levels of absorption inhibitor. Firstly, mica-rich aggre-gate material was studied, which, due to its high mica mineral content, has a high water absorption rate that i
