Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The main goal of this paper was to analyze the influence of lamination process conditions and High Temperature Co-fired Ceramic (HTCC) tape composition on the lamination quality (existence of delaminations). The second aim was to estimate the influence of lamination conditions and HTCC tape composition on three process outputs: compressibility, surface roughness and density of High Temperature Co-fired Ceramics and to recognize if these outputs can be useful from lamination quality investigation point of view. The bonding quality was investigated using scanning acoustic microscopy (SAM). The analyzed ceramics was fabricated using water based slurries in the frame of tape casting process. The paper additionally discusses limitations and drawbacks of the used investigation methods and experiment design.

Studies on the humoral immune response in nervous system infections with special reference of facial palsy and lyme borreliosis
- 1994
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This thesis is mainly based on studies of the humoral immune response in subjects with neurological infections with special reference to facial palsy and Lyme borreliosis. Cerebrospinal fluid and/or serum samples from a total of 281 patients were investigated. Two hundred twenty-three of the subjects had a diagnosis of idiopathic peripheral facial palsy at the start of the investigations. Sixteen subjects (11 %) from the prospective studies and 15 (20%) from a retrospective study were found to exhibit elevated antibodies against Borrelia burgdorferi. These Borrelia burgdoiferi antibody positive patients were found to have a less favourable outcome of the palsy compared to other diagnostic groups.Seven patients out of 147 (5%) in the prospective studies and three out of twelve (25%) in the retrospective study of facial palsy showed intrathecal Borrelia burgdorferi IgG antibody synthesis compatible with a past or present Lyme neuroborreliosis.Three of the papers describe the immunoglobulin A (IgA) response in subjects with peripheral facial palsy, Lyme borreliosis, herpes simplex virus encephalitis, herpes zoster and mumps meningitis. The intrathecal IgA immune response was present in the viral infections but was less pronounced in Lyme borreliosis determined by an indirect ELISA method. By applying Western blot analysis, the IgA antibody response was detected against Borrelia burgdoiferi and was found to differ from the corresponding IgG antibody response. The specific IgG and IgA avidity was investigated in subjects with herpes simplex virus encephalitis, herpes zoster and Lyme borreliosis. Specific IgG antibodies were of lower avidity in serum than in CSF from all subjects with herpes simplex encephalitis; this is in contrast to the finding in herpes zoster patients. The serum-cerebrospinal fluid differences in IgG avidity decreased in the convalescence. A similar, but not significant, trend was seen for IgA antibodies. In comparison, IgG antibodies from subjects with Lyme neuroborreliosis were of low avidity.

The Mediated Representation of the Super-Rich : Secrecy, Wealth Taxation and the Tensions of Neoliberal Capitalism
- 2024
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This thesis examines how the wealthiest apex of the capitalist class, a segment commonly referred to as ‘the super-rich’, is represented in Swedish legacy newspapers. As decades of neoliberal reforms have paved the way for increasing wealth concentration at the very top, the super-rich has emerged as both a material and discursive phenomenon. The news media provides an influential site for studying meaning-making around the super-rich in the context of the underlying tensions of the neoliberal capitalist social order. Combining Nancy Fraser’s theory of normative contradictions with a critical political economy approach to the media, this thesis explores mediated representations of the super-rich as sites of ideological struggle between ideals of market justice and social justice. The thesis conducts an in-depth Critical Discourse Analysis to uncover what discourses Swedish newspapers – both in contemporary and historical settings – draw upon when representing the super-rich. The thesis consists of three case studies, each zooming in on different dimensions of the super-rich. The findings suggest that, while the feature reporting on the super-rich is no twithout its ambivalences, the critique is largely limited to questioning the morality of individual billionaires or business models, not billionaire wealth in itself. The thesis also shows how the secrecy surrounding the super-rich, hailed as a key part of the reproduction of economic inequality, can be mobilized by the tabloid media to intensify the ‘wealth porn’ genre rather than questioning inequalities per se. It also argues that the longterm coverage of the Swedish wealth tax in the liberal/conservative press between 1969 and 2007 delegitimated the tax as an immoral and irrational anomaly in a globalized world, paving the way for the social acceptance of large individual fortunes. As such, the thesis provides a comprehensive account of how the news media operates to incorporate the super-rich into the justice narratives of neoliberal capitalism, thus serving to mitigate the tensions of the social order.
