Vi belyser olikheter och likheter i hur grundutbildningen styrs på fyra svenska tekniska högskolor. Vi jämför hur lärare och examinatorer väljs ut, hur medel fördelas och vilken roll programansvariga (eller motsvarande) har.

Communities are becoming increasingly dependent on critical societal functions and flows, such as energy supply, transportation of goods and people, school and health care. Dependencies between these functions and flows are also increasing. These trends imply that disruptions in the functions and flows may quickly lead to large societal consequences through domino effects which may be very difficu

This paper gives a brief summary of computational methods in heat transfer equipment, i.e., CFD (computational fluid dynamics) methods for thermal problems, and turbulence modeling for single phase applications in the design, research and development of heat exchangers. Some examples for real heat exchangers are shown to demonstrate how CFD methods can be used as R & D tools. Nevertheless, lim

Reichenbach’s constraint is the methodological imperative formulated by Reichenbach in the following passage: “If we want to construct a philosophy of science, we have to distinguish carefully between two kinds of context in which scientific theories may be considered. The context of discovery is to be separated from the context of justification; the former belongs to the psychology of scient

I studien har vi gjort en inventering av inlärnings- och studiestrategifaktorer såsom oro, attityder, koncentration, motivation, studiestöd och tidsplanering bland nybörjarstudenter vid Lunds tekniska högskola (LTH) och studerat hur de förändras under första terminen. Vidare har vi studerat hur självstudietiden påverkar studieresultat och om det finns samband med inlärnings och studiestrategifakto

Illegal drugs are disgusting, while legal and medical drugs are not. This is a message that has long been promoted in Sweden and has become a self-evident claim, even though the active substances in legal and illegal drugs can be the same. What is then the difference between a threatening, disgusting drug and a non-threatening medical cure? In this article, proximity and distance to objects alread

Children born to occupying soldiers during or after conflicts are in many ways an extraordinarily vulnerable population. These so-called children born of war (CBOW) commonly inherit the stigma of transgression and foreignness from their respective parents and face discrimination in post-conflict societies. Their specific vulnerabilities, though, emerge from multiple overlapping factors: the needs

Abstract: Pagan revivalism is a growing trend in the contemporary religious landscape. Is it possible to be a neopagan without disregarding the demands of reason? While outright belief in the old gods seems out of the question, I argue that polytheism represents a live epistemic possibility, and that non-doxastic paganism is therefore a viable option. However, the rational, non-doxastic neopagan s
