Det moraliska ifrågasättandet : alkoholmissbrukares upplevelser av och reaktioner på tvångsvård
- 2004
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The aim of this study was to investigate how compulsary treatment of alcohol abuse is experienced by persons forced to submit to it, the majority of whom are negative in their attitude toward treatment of this sort. The importance of considering the resluts obtained not in isolation but within a larger context is emphasized. Among the elements of this context examined are alcohol abuse generally, why those involved drink excessively, and how they experience their situation. Interpreting the experience these persons have of their situation involves taking account of the ethical and existential world in which they live and their philosophy of life. The legal status that apply and the implications these can have are discussed. Important concepts considered are those of autonomy and integrity. The results of the investigation indicate that a person forced to submit to compulsory treatment for his alcohol abuse often ends up in a traumatic crisis with little chance of working through it satisfacorily. A variety of reasons for this are pointed out. One is the person´s failing to understand why he has been forced to receive treatment. Another is the person´s lacking an adequate language to deal with the existential questions his situation gives rise to. Having lived as an alcohol abuser for many years also results in the person´s sense of selfrespect being very low. In addition, the institution providing treatment generally has no adequate possibility of helping the person to work through his crisis. As a conclusion one can ask on the background of the empirical, legal, psychological, existential and ethical aspects whether it is morally right to force someone to a treatment that person himself does not want.

Torsten Rudeen, Kärleks- och bröllopsdikter : Utgivna med inledning och kommentarer av Lars Burman
- 2019
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Torsten Rudeen (1661–1729) came from a comparatively humble background, but belonged to an influential group of Swedish academics and writers who went to school in Värmland and studied at Uppsala University. He was appointed poëseos professor at Turku (Åbo) University in 1692 and Superintendent (Bishop) in Karlstad in the fateful year of the battle of Poltava, 1709. By then he had contributed with royal panegyrics to the Kings Charles XI and Charles XII. He crowned his career as Bishop in Linköping. Rudeen was a productive and appreciated writer of occasional poetry, especially during the 1680s, but his most notable contributions are his love poems, not least those to his wife Anna (1675–1695). These were not printed in his own time and have never previously been scholarly collected and edited, a reason why Rudeen today is less known. This edition collects Rudeen’s poetry on love and matrimony. A total of 51 poems are included with variants and commentary. In the introduction his background and life path are presented, and the importance of the social networks for both his writings and career is underlined. The place of his love poetry in contemporary Swedish literature is discussed, as is his poetic immediacy of sentiments, unusual for the Swedish 17th century.

Optimization of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles : Expanding the Multidisciplinary Capabilities
- 2017
-
Licentiatavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Over the last decade, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have experienced an accelerated growth, and nowadays they are being deployed in a variety of missions that have traditionally been covered by manned aircraft. This unprecedented market expansion has created new and unforeseen challenges for the manufacturing industry which is now called to further reduce the idea-to-market times while simultaneously delivering designs of even higher performance. In this environment of uncertainty and risk, it is without a doubt crucial for the involved actors to find ways to secure their strategic advantage, and hence, implementing the latest design tools has become a critical consideration in every Product Development Process (PDP).To this end, a method that has been frequently applied in the PDP and has shown many successful results in the development of complex engineering products is Multidisciplinary Design Optimization (MDO). In general, MDO can bring additional knowledge regarding the best-suited designs much earlier in the process, and in this respect, it can lead to significant cost and time savings by reducing the total number of refinement iterations. Nevertheless, the organizational and cultural integration of MDO has been often overlooked, while at the same time, several technical aspects of the method for UAV design are still at an elementary level. On the whole, research on MDO is showing a slow progress, and to this date, there are many limitations in both the disciplinary models and the available analysis capabilities.In light of the above, this thesis focuses on the particulars of the MDO methodology, and more specifically, on how it can be best adapted and evolved in order to enhance the development process of UAVs. The primary objective is to study the current trends and gaps of the MDO practices in UAV applications, and subsequently to build upon that and explore how these can be included in a roadmap that will be able to serve a guide for newcomers in the field. Compared to other studies, the problem is herein approached from both a technical as well as organizational perspective, and thus, this research not only aims to propose techniques that can lead to better designs but also solutions that will be meaningful to the PDP. Having established the above foundation, this work shows that the traditional MDO frameworks for UAV design have been neglecting several important features, and it elaborates on how those novel elements can be modeled in order to enable a better integration of MDO into the organizational functions. Overall, this thesis presents quantitative and qualitative data which illustrate the effectiveness of the new framework enhancements in the development process of UAVs, and concludes with discussions on the possible improvement directions towards achieving more and better MDO capabilities.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Context: Some PNe and PPNe show compact knots, travelling at high velocities away from the central sources. Aims: We compute a number of models from which we obtain predictions of the emission-line spectrum, which can be compared with the spectra of the observed knots. Methods: We completed a series of 11 axisymmetric simulations of an initially spherical cloudlet, travelling away from a photoionizing source, into a uniform medium. The simulations included a multi-frequency transfer of the ionizing radiation, and a 33 species non-equilibrium ionization network. Results: From our simulations, we computed emission maps and spatially-integrated emission-line spectra. The predictions show a transition from spectra similar to those of shock wave models (for simulations with lower photoionization rates) to spectra similar to those of photoionized regions (for simulations with higher photoionization rates). Conclusions: The spectra from our photoionized cloudlet models have a range of line ratios that agree approximately with the observed spectra when shown in two-line ratio diagnostic diagrams. The predicted and observed spatial distributions of the emission (with high ionization lines extending more towards the source than lower ionization lines) agree in a qualitative way.
