Varför bör man studera förbränning? Ett skäl är att det en viktig energikälla i världen då mer än 85 % av all energianvändning har sitt ursprung I förbränning och att energibehovet ökar med 3 % per år. Ett annat skäl är att kunskaper i förbränning är viktiga för framtidens ingenjörer för att kunna effektivisera förbränningsprocesser och utveckla dem så att de ger lägre utsläpp av skadliga föroreniWhy is it useful to study combustion? One motivation is that this source contributes with more than 85% of all the energy supply in the world, and the energy usage increase globally by 3% per year. Another motivation is that knowledge in combustion is important for the modern engineer or scientist to be able to make combustion processes more efficient and to develop them to produce less pollutants

Bruket av naturvetenskapliga metoder inom arkeologisk forskning är ett ständigt växande fält som i många avseenden revolutionerat vår kunskap om det förflutna. En stor del av aktuell metodutveckling är kopplad till bioarkeologin och avser olika typer av kemiska studier av osteologiskt material, såsom DNA-analyser, proteomik och isotopanalyser av olika grundämnen. Metoderna har fått ett brett genomThe use of scientific methods in archaeological research is an ever-growing field that has in many ways revolutionised our knowledge of the past.

Kursen syftar till att fördjupa studentens teoretiska och metodologiska kunskaper. Utgångspunkten för kursen är att ekonomier är låginkomstländer till följd av avsaknad av ekonomisk tillväxt. Detta beror i sin tur på låg grad av integration med den globala ekonomin, för lite investeringar och avsaknad av effektiva institutioner. Särskilt intresse läggs på frågor som rör tillväxt, ojämlikhet och fThe course aims at deepening the student's theoretical and methodological knowledge of development economics.
