Summary The project NEXT, Neutron data Experiments for Transmutation, is performed within the nuclear reactions group of the Department of Neutron Research, Uppsala University. The activities of the group are directed towards experimental studies of nuclear reaction probabilities of importance for various applications, like transmutation of nuclear waste, biomedical effects and electronics reliability. The experimental work is primarily undertaken at the The Svedberg Laboratory (TSL) in Uppsala, where the group is operating two world-unique instruments, MEDLEY and SCANDAL. Highlights from the past year: • The TSL neutron beam facility and the MEDLEY detector system have been upgraded. • Funding for a major upgrade of the SCANDAL facility has been approved, and practical work has been initiated. • Three new PhD students have been accepted. • The Uppsala group contributed the largest number of accepted publications (12) at the International Conference on Nuclear Data for Science and Technology, Nice, France, April 22–27, 2007. • The EU project CANDIDE (Coordination Action on Nuclear Data for Industrial Development in Europe), coordinated by Jan Blomgren, started January 1, 2007. • The EU project EFNUDAT (European Facilities for Nuclear Data research), partly coordinated by Jan Blomgren, started November 1, 2006. • Nuclear power education has reached all-time high at Uppsala University. A contract with KSU (Nuclear Training and Safety Centre) on financing the increased volume of teaching for industry needs has been signed. 3 Sammanfattning Projektet NEXT, NeutrondataEXperiment för Transmutation, bedrivs inom kärnreaktions- gruppen vid institutionen för neutronforskning, Uppsala universitet. Gruppens verksamhet är inriktad mot experimentella studier av kärnfysikaliska reaktionssannolikheter för olika tillämpningsområden, som transmutation av kärnavfall, biomedicinska effekter och till- för litlighet hos elektronik. Den experimentella verksamheten bedrivs huvudsakligen vid The Svedberglaboratoriet (TSL) i Uppsala, där gruppen driver två världsunika instrument, MEDLEY och SCANDAL. Höjdpunkter från det gångna verksamhetsåret: • TSLs neutronstråleanläggning och experimentuppställningen MEDLEY har uppgraderats. • Finansiering för en omfattande uppgradering av experimentuppställningen SCANDAL har beviljats, och praktiskt arbete har inletts. • Tre nya doktorander har antagits. • Uppsala bidrog med flest publikationer (12) vid den internationella kärndatakonferensen i Nice, Frankrike, 22–27 april 2007. • EU-projektet CANDIDE (Coordination Action on Nuclear Data for Industrial Development in Europe), koordinerat av Jan Blomgren, startade 1 january 2007. • EU-projektet EFNUDAT (European Facilities for Nuclear Data research), delvis koordinerat av Jan Blomgren, startade 1 november 2006. • Kärnkraftutbildning har nått sin största volym någonsin vid Uppsala universitet.

    Sunuþ Çevreden Çýkarak arihsel çevre, doðal çevre, kentsel çevre olarak tanýmlanan ve yeni bir davranýþ Tkavramýný gündeme getiren çevre sözcüðü, evrenimizde insan oðlunun yerleþik düzene geçtiði Neolitik çaðdan bu yana bilinen bir sözcüktür. Zamanýmýzda ileri uygar- lýk düzeyini yakalamýþ zengin ülkeler, II. Dünya savaþýndan sonra çevre kavramýný çeþitli boyutlarý ile tartýþmýþlar ve gerekli koruyucu önlemlerini almýþlardýr. Ülkemizdeki Çevre kavramýna dönecek olursak, bu sözcüðün ve önüne gelen sýfatlarýn ancak çeyrek yüzyýllýk bir geçmiþi olduðunu görürüz. Bugün için çevre kavramýnýn içeriði hala çok kolay bir biçimde tarif edilir. Ancak tanýmýn ayrýntýsýna girildikçe, olayýn hiçte o kadar kolay açýklanamadýðý görülür. Biz arkeologlar için birinci derecede tarihsel çevre kavra- mý önem taþýr. Çünkü tarihsel çevremizin yaþamýmýzda bize vereceði dersleri, tercihleri ve davranýþ biçimlerimizi akýlcý bir yöntemle belirlememize olanak verir. Bu oluþumda dikkat edilecek olan ilkler arasýnda somut ve soyut kültür varlýklarýmýzý en iyi bir biçimde koruma bilincinin küçük yaþlardan itibaren toplumumuza verilmesi, saðlýklý bilgilerle uluslarýn kendi özgün kültürleri olabileceðini ve bunlar içinde korunmasý gerekli olan taþýnýr ve taþýnmaz kültür varlýklarýnýn da olabileceðini komplekslerden arýnarak öðret- memiz, bir yurttaþlýk görevi olmalýdýr. Bu öðreti o ülkenin kültürel yaþam kalitesini ortaya koymada en büyük etmendir. Kültürel yaþamýn oluþmasýnda geçmiþin ne denli önemli olduðunu görmemek bizce onarýlmasý olanaksýz bir yanýlgýdýr. Ülkemizde son çeyrek yüzyýlda geniþ halk kitlelerince kabul gören bu yeni taným, geçmiþimizin geleceðe ne kadar etkin olduðunu az da olsa öðretme becerisini yakalayabilmiþtir. Ancak Türkiye'nin plansýz ve ileriye dönük kurgularýnýn yapýlmaksýzýn baþlatýlan sanayileþme dönemi, kültürel varlýklarýmýzýn bilinçsizce kýyýmýna sebep olabilmiþtir. Son günlerde (Aralýk 2001 ve Ocak 2002) ülkemiz medyasýnda ve TBMM. genel kurulunda tartýþýlan bir konu ile "Tarihsel Çevre" Türkiye gündemine oturmuþtur.

The examination will be conducted in Swedish. Faculty examiner: Professor Frans Prenkert (Örebro universitet). Abstract Launberg, A. 2017. Creating value from science. Interaction between academia, business and healthcare in the Uppsala PET Centre case. Doctoral thesis / Företagsekonomiska institutionen, Uppsala universitet 187. 274 pp. Uppsala: Företagsekonomiska institutionen. ISBN 978-91-506-2640-7. Recent decades have seen greater focus, both national and global, on universities’ role in boosting economic growth. Besides teaching and conducting research, universities are urged to contribute directly to the economy by commercialising research findings and interacting with industry. This thesis explores the dynamics and effects of such interplay by concentrating on a particular case of interaction involving Uppsala University, Uppsala University Hospital and a large multinational corporation. More specifically, the aim of the study was to investigate how use of science and value creation from science are affected when actors belonging to disparate spheres interact closely. The thesis recounts the evolution of the Uppsala PET Centre, established as a University research institute in 1989, which has served both as a site for pre- clinical and clinical research and as an important resource in routine clinical work. The whole Centre was commercialised when a large firm acquired it in 2002, only to be decommercialised and returned to the University and the University Hospital less than a decade later.

[email protected] Department of Archaeology and Ancient History Uppsala University, Sweden ABSTRACT John Ljungkvist & Per Frölund 2015. Gamla Uppsala – the emergence of a cen- tre and a magnate complex. The emergence of Gamla Uppsala as a centre has been discussed for centuries. During the past years, old excavations have been incorporated into the frame-work of the archaeological research project Gamla Uppsala - the emergence of a mythical centre (GUAM), with GIS and excavations in combination with survey results and reinterpretations, as old excavations are placed in relation to new investigations. This article is based on the results from excavations in 2011 and 2015 and studies of previous investigations in the light of new results. We have chosen to present a stand der forschung of what we currently know about the 6th to 8th century estate in the centre of Gamla Uppsala, how it emerges as part of an un- paralleled monumentalization of the area, what we know of a Migration Period prelude and its transformation during the 8th/9th century.

The examination will be conducted in Swedish. Abstract Ingemarsdotter, J. 2011. Ramism, Rhetoric and Reform. An Intellectual Biography of Johan Skytte (1577–1645). Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis. Uppsala Studies in History of Ideas 42. 322 pp. Uppsala. ISBN 978-91-554-8071-4. This thesis is an intellectual biography of the Swedish statesman Johan Skytte (1577–1645), focusing on his educational ideals and his contributions to educational reform in the early Swedish Age of Greatness. Although born a commoner, Skytte rose to be one of the most powerful men in Sweden in the first half of the seventeenth century, serving three generations of regents. As a royal preceptor and subsequently a university chancellor, Skytte appears as an early educational politician at a time when the Swedish Vasa dynasty initiated a number of far-reaching reforms, including the revival of Sweden’s only university at the time (in Uppsala). The contextual approach of the thesis shows how Skytte’s educational reform agenda was shaped by nationally motivated arguments as well as by a Late Renaissance humanist heritage, celebrating education as the foundation of all prosperous civilizations. Utilizing a largely unexplored source material written mostly in Latin, the thesis analyzes how Skytte’s educational arguments were formed already at the University of Marburg in the 1590s, where he learned to embrace the utility-orientated ideals of the French humanist Petrus Ramus (1515–1572).

    Language Choice in Scientific Writing: the Case of Mathematics At

    Normat. Nordisk matematisk tidskrift 61:2–4, 111–132 Published in March 2019 Language choice in scientific writing: The case of mathematics at Uppsala University and a Nordic journal Christer Oscar Kiselman Abstract. For several centuries following its founding in 1477, all lectures and dissertations at Uppsala University were in Latin. Then, during one century, from 1852 to 1953, several languages came into use: there was a transition from Latin to Swedish, and then to French, German, and English. In the paper this transition is illustrated by language choice in doctoral theses in mathematics and in a Nordic journal. 1. Introduction The purpose of this note is to show how language choice in mathematical disser- tations presented at Uppsala University changed during one century, from 1852 to 1953—a rapid change in comparison with the more stable situation during the cen- turies 1477–1852. We shall also take a look at languages chosen by mathematicians in Sweden in the journal Acta Mathematica from its start in 1882 and up to 1958. This study was presented at the Nitobe Symposium in Reykjav´ık(2013 July 18– 20) entitled Languages and Internationalization in Higher Education: Ideologies, Practices, Alternatives, organized by the Center for Research and Documentation on World Language Problems (CED). 2. A beginning in the vernacular of the learned In a bull dated 1477 February 27, Pope Sixtus IV granted permission to the Arch- bishop of Uppsala, Jakob Ulvsson, to establish a university there.1 The Archbishop was appointed Chancellor of the new university, which was the first in northern Europe and remained the northernmost for 163 years, until the founding in 1640 of Sweden’s third university in Abo˚ (now Turku in Finland).

    Sosyal ve Beşeri Bilimler Araştırmaları Dergisi Güz/Autumn 2017, Cilt/Volume 18 Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities Researches Sayı/Issue 40 Antik Karya’nın Başkenti Halikarnassos’da Kent Planlama Anlayışı Feray KOCA1 Bayram AKÇA2 Öz Pers istilalarından sonra, Halikarnassos, antik Karya’da Hekatomnid iktidarının ikinci başkenti olması açısından önemlidir. Hekatomnid dönemin, kent planlama anlayışı bakımından en önemli özelliği, iktidarın gücünü ve kontrol yetkisini kent planına yansıtmasıdır. Aynı zamanda yerel bölgeyi Helenleştirerek küçük yerleşim birimlerini bir araya getirip Halikarnasos kent devleti altında birleştirmeyi başarmıştır. Bu nedenle; Karya’da, Pers ve Yunan etkileri altında kent planlama anlayışının geliştiği gözlemlenmiştir. Halikarnassos kenti, Helenistik dönemin planlama anlayışına hakim olan ortogonal planlama biçimine uygun olarak şekillenmiştir. Ancak, binaların olağandışı yerleşimi ve teraslar halinde yer almasının temel nedeni Hekatomnid iradesini ve hakimiyet alanını ortaya koymaktır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Pers ve Yunan etkisinde, Hekatomnid dönemin yarattığı kent planlama anlayışını Halikarnasos kent planı ve yapıları ile incelemektir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Karya, Hekatomnid, Ortogonal Planlama Town Planning Approach in the Capital City Of Ancient Caria, Halikarnassos Abstract After Persian invasions, Halikarnassos is significant in terms of being the second capital city of the Hekatomnid dynasty. The main feature of the Hekatomnid dynasty with regard to town planning approach was the reflection of the rulership and visitorial power to their town plan. In the meantime, by Hellenization of the region, they had succeeded in the foundation of Halikarnassos city-state by merging a number of small settlement units. Therefore; one can state that town planning approach had developed with the effects of Persians and Greeks in Caria. Halikarnassos had taken its form according to orthogonal planning dominating the Hellenistic planning approach.

By approaching sources critically and focusing on archaeological evidence, it looks specifically at how the deity developed within the said milieu and at the uses his cult may have served for those who worshipped him. It subsequently seeks to address other related questions such as when Óðinn came to become associated with warrior-kings in Scandinavia, where this seems to have occurred, and how it might have happened, including an examination of the social and political influences that might have been involved in the development. By means of this process, the study attempts to provide contextual insight into the relationship that seems to have existed between rulers and religion in pre-Christian southern Scandinavia. As is well known, the later medieval literary sources often portray Óðinn as being the ultimate sovereign, ruling over other gods and earthly rulers alike.
