Course Description
The course deals with economic transformation from a global perspective from prehistoric times to present times, but with an emphasis on the development from the European Middle Ages and onward, as well as the economic history of the Western world. The starting point is how the global economy of today is structured and how it works. The global economy is seen as a system, and its different parts from entire continents to local communities are discussed. Theories of which factors that influence economic transformation over time are presented. The economic history of the world is described with help from a number of factors as structuring tools. Concepts that have been used to characterize different periods and parts of the world become central to this description. The course also deals with important aspects of the economic system such as households, companies, and politics. The global economy is seen as a system with interconnected parts from the global to the local economy. Theories about economic transformation are presented. A key question for the course is why some countries are rich and others not.

Course Description
This course provides students with an overview of the structure of Sweden's social and economic geography, the historical background and current trends. Topics covered include the distribution of population, the geography of production (manufacturing and services), urban system changes and the characteristics of Swedish cities, the specific problems of sparsely populated areas, and local and regional planning and policies. Special emphasis is put upon recent structural changes in the Swedish economy and its repercussions on the regional patterns of employment and production. The course should be of particular interest to students of human geography and other social sciences, notably political science and economic history.

Course Description
The course is an introduction to social theories in Artificial Intelligence (AI). The course draws reflections and theoretical comparisons between how humans engage in meaningful interactions with other humans and with social robots. The course begins with an overview of the standard and contrasting accounts of social cognition and its development, spanning from the Theory of Mind, embodied and situated approaches, and neural mirroring theories. Mainstream research paradigms to investigate human-robot interactions will be also presented. Finally, the course advances some current psychological and philosophical critical issues related to ethical, relational, and functional issues of using social robots as partners in human daily interactions.

Course Description
The course deals with various theoretical and practical perspectives on climate change in relation to ecopsychology (e.g. environmental melancholia), artistic forms of expression (e.g. climate art) and literary communication methods (e.g. ecocriticism, climate fiction). Through various theoretical understandings and knowledge in psychology, philosophy, ethics, art history, literature, and climate science, the discussion on how different ways of working in the area can contribute to an individual and societal climate transition is deepened. The various parts of the course bring together an experience-based, process-focused, and creative learning with a reflexive, debating and knowledge-oriented learning, where art and science meet in a transdisciplinary and critical dialogue. Through project work the student develops, initiates, and works with a practical in-depth study of one of the course areas.

Course Description
The course discusses the various expressions of popular culture within 20th-century art and media. Collaboration between different media is emphasized. The main focus is on contemporary western culture, the latter years of the 20th century, and the expressions of postmodern culture, although several episodes in the cultural history of the whole century are studied historically. Advertising, television, music videos, movies, literature, and music are analyzed. Theoretical tools are introduced from the foundations of intermedia studies, cultural sociology, hermeneutics, and semiotics. Several examples are presented for analysis and discussion. Students identify basic concepts, ideas, and terminology in intermedia studies, and describe popular cultural conditions that account for some of the processes that shaped the postmodern art of the 1900s and its relationship to popular culture.

Course Description
This course provides basic knowledge about numerical methods that are routinely used for simulating fluid flow and heat transfer. The main emphasis is on incompressible flow and convective heat transfer. Furthermore, knowledge on the most common turbulence models and how these affect the solution is provided. The course is aimed at providing capability to perform this kind of simulations. Also, to provide capability in analyzing and assessing the results of such simulations. This knowledge should be sufficient in order to choose a proper solution method and asses the accuracy of the results for a given engineering problem. The course includes methods for the numerical solution of engineering fluid dynamics and heat transfer problems. Handling of convection-diffusion problems is treated. The concept of numerical diffusion is introduced. Algorithms for pressure-velocity coupling are presented (e.g. SIMPLE, SIMPLEC, SIMPLEX, PISO etc.). In the course discretization using finite volume techniques and how these affect accuracy and stability is discussed. Several types of computational meshes and how these are generated and how these affect the solution are discussed. Also included are the most common RANS based turbulence models.

Course Description
This course reviews some of the most exciting topics within yeast and mammalian genetics, cell biology, and molecular biology, and looks for possible applications of these topics in biotechnology, medicine, drug development, food technology, etc. This course also provides a view on innovations, patents, start-up companies, and is therefore a good preparation for work in biotech and biomedical industry. The course includes an experimental part on either genetics, cell biology, molecular biology, or bioinformatics of bacterial, yeast or mammalian cells, trying to solve applied problems in the lab. For example, you can do a screening for mutants of suicide genes useful for anti-cancer gene therapy, or analyze the genome of a yeast important in wine industry, etc. This course also contains a large literature project on molecular and cell biology or genetics topics, which also have an applied aspect. For example, you can write a project on: molecular targets for novel antibiotica against multi-resistant microbes, GMO yeast strains in future food products, efficient and selective delivery systems in gene therapy, etc. The "classical" exam is replaced by written project reports and their oral presentations. The course concludes with two comprehensive written projects and two oral presentations of the selected theoretical and lab projects.

REIMAGINING MONEY
UCEAP Quarter Units

UCEAP Semester Units

Course Description
This course is centered around the idea that the changing nature of money is giving rise to a wave of experimentation on new forms of money. These experiments see money not as an obstruction but as a vehicle for constructing more sustainable economies, more resilient communities and more fair societies. While these new monetary ideas and real-life efforts may seem contradictory, money scholars, practitioners and activists agree that money needs to be re-organized, that this can be done from the bottom-up, and that we can indeed imaginatively engage with the future of money. This course is addressed to students who want to explore the idea that money can be re-designed. Students are exposed to the theoretical and practical realities that come with “re-imagining money”. The course does not require previous knowledge in finance, economics, or technology. It however does ask students to be open to actively engage in re-thinking the monetary landscape. This is done through a monetary workshop at the end of the course, in which student groups design a monetary system for a particular social purpose.
