Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna skrift behandlar marklagring av värme, kyla och kärnavfall.The underground is a vast region, which is, too a large extent, unused by man. It has a large potential as a storage facility due to its vastness and availability. This thesis, which consists of eleven papers and reports, deals with nuclear waste repositories in solid rock and with aquifer thermal energy storage systems. All these storage systems induce multidimensional, time-variable thermo-hydr

In through-drying of paper, the energy required for drying is supplied by hot air, which is forced through the paper structure. The area for heat and mass transfer is the internal surface area of the paper, which is often many times larger than the external web surface area (xy-plane). Therefore, the drying rates achieved in through-drying are often several times higher than in contact drying proc

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling inspirerades av utvecklingspsykologiska teoretiker som Bowlby, Stern och Winnicott, vilka alla anser att den tidiga emotionella kommunikation mellan barn och vårdare är betydelsefull för utvecklingen av barnets självvärdering och värdering av andra och hur barnet kommer att relatera till andra senare i livet. Frågeställningarna i de olika studierna beröThis thesis investigated emotional communication in experimentally created face-to-face interaction situations. The hypotheses were based on the conception of a process which leads to emotional empathy, assuming that automatic mimicking tendencies are involved in an automatic part of the process. Subjects were categorised as high- or low-empathic according to results on the Questionnaire Measure O
