Genom att förstå ljusets växelverkan med materia kommer studenterna sedan att kunna välja lämpliga metoder för att få information om elektroniska och kemiska egenskaper eller strukturella egenskaper. Kursen ger en genomgång av principerna för de viktigaste spektroskopimetoderna med röntgenstrålning. I kursen behandlas följande aspekter: Växelverkan mellan ljus och materia, framförallt atomer.Atoms, molecules, and the solid state of matter can be described using the same principles. The electronic structure of matter (i.e. the distribution and dynamics of the electron density) plays a decisive role for its structural and chemical properties, and it is the electronic structure of matter which is mirrored by the results of the spectroscopy techniques used in atomic, molecular, and solid

Våra samhällen och liv är i allt större utsträckning datafierade, och formade av insamling, analys och användning av digitala data. Då detta föränderliga datalandskap innebär nya möjligheter till kunskap och handling, så medför det också nya former av svårigheter och risker. Denna kurs ger en introduktion till kritiska perspektiv på datafiering och hur det påverkar vårt sätt att leva och nå kunskaOur societies and lives are to an increasing extent datafied, and shaped by means of collecting, analysing and utilising digital data. As this transforming data landscape offers new opportunities for knowledge and action, it also involves novel forms of concerns and risks. This course offers an introduction to critical perspectives on datafication, how it impacts ways of knowing and living, and it
The thesis should be a synthesis and further development of the knowledge and competences gained during the three terms of course work in LUMES on top of undergraduate studies. The thesis work should develop the student’s potential for professional sustainability work and/or for further research. The process puts great demands on the capacity to w
The course begins with an examination of the development of Swedish labour policy in general during the post war period. Particular attention is laid on the fundamental changes that have taken place from the 1970s onwards in the functioning of the labour market, the welfare system, and the economy as a whole. The change process is examined from the point of view of those most affected by it – immi
Animals figure in human society and culture in multiple ways, while frequently being marginalized or reduced to commodities, production units, status symbols and tools. This course offers a critical exploration of how a shifting economic, scientific, political and media-shaped landscape assigns various roles and values to animals in contemporary Western society, and the consequences for living con
Popular Abstract in Swedish Vad innebär det att vara en god medborgare? Frågan är lika enkel och tidlös som svaret är komplext och mångfacetterat. I grunden har det att göra med hur vi tänker politik. Frågan har i sin förlängning också djup moralisk innebörd och går tillbaka på våra normativa föreställningar om det goda samhället. Svaret vi ger varierar därför med olika värden och ideal; en god me

Food accessibility has been an important issue for as long as there has been human civilisation. Today, food, at least in the wealthier parts of the world, is accessible to most people. However, there are concerns regarding the market power of major retailers and the availability of affordable food among certain population groups. In this paper, I investigate how well accessibility, the ease with
Trend analysis is a creative process that aims to map and analyze cultural changes in society in order to predict the future. The purpose of the course is for the student to acquire knowledge of how trend analysis can be understood, as well as how innovation creates new conditions for how trend analysis can be done. Innovation here refers to how new digital tools can be used in trend analysis, and
Materiell kultur är central för arkeologer. Men föremål talar inte till oss, det är vi arkeologer som måste ställa de frågor som möjliggör att vi når kunskap om det förflutna. I den här kursen utforskas de senastes decenniers teoretiska debatt inom arkeologin, med speciell fokus på dess påverkan på studiet av materiell kultur. Materiell kultur är ett tvärvetenskapligt fält som berör centrala delarMaterial culture is the hub of archaeology. However, things do not speak to us; it is up to us to ask questions which enable us to elicit information about past lives. In this course we explore the theoretical debate in archaeology from the last decade, focusing especially on its impact on the study of material culture. Material culture studies is an interdisciplinary field that addresses the cent
KEMM48. Kursens mål är att studenten ska tillägna sig grundläggande kunskaper om statistisk mekanik. Ett viktigt mål med kursen är att studenten ska tillägna sig en fördjupad förståelse för begreppet entropi och därmed överbrygga motsättningen mellan en mikroskopisk ansats (statistisk mekanik) och en makroskopisk (termodynamik). Kursen handlar om att förstå och härleda makroskopiska (termodynKEMM48. The objective of the course is to enable students to acquire basic knowledge of statistical mechanics. An important objective is to enable students to acquire specialised understanding of the concept of entropy and thereby bridge the opposition between a microscopic approach (statistical mechanics) and a macroscopic one (thermodynamics). The course is about understanding and der

Kursen behandlar inledningsvis vissa drag i det samhällsvetenskapliga och historiska tänkandets utveckling under de senaste århundradena. Särskild vikt läggs vid institutionell teori och en del nyare perspektiv (genus, etnicitet) tas upp. Kursen behandlar sådana överväganden i allmänna metodfrågor som man måste göra vid utformandet av en ekonomisk-historisk studie. Här belyses problem som hänger s
The course examines the historical experience and potential of economic development in developing countries and considers why some countries are rich while others remain poor, as well as considering why development is not universal to all. The course provides a theoretical perspective with reference to the conditions of developing economies. It is divided into two parts. The first section treats t
The objects of Alf Gabrielsson's study Strong experiences with music are experiences and insights that exceed by far what is normally included in music experiences. To a great extent, the many (over 500) experiences related in this book are so intense that a reader often cannot avoid comparing them to her or his own experiences with music. The multi-variety of character in music experiences is vie
