The aim of the course is to treat some basic parts of discrete mathematics, of importance in computer science, information theory, signal processing, physics and many other subjects in technology and science. The aim is also to develop the students' ability to solve problems and to assimilate mathematical text. The course should also provide general mathematical education.

This course provides the foundation of modern food microbiology by using relevant examples from the food industry. The course covers the following themes: growth and survival of microorganisms in foods, preservation, food spoilage, food pathogens, fermented foods, genetically modified organisms, and rapid detection methods.

The course studies various flow phenomena of both fundamental and technical importance. Students acquire knowledge about classical and modern techniques for the study and analysis of technical fluid mechanical problems. Part A examines the history and scope of fluid mechanics, integral relations for a control volume, differential relations for a fluid particle, viscous flow in ducts, introduction to turbulence, boundary-layer flows, and flow around slender and bluff bodies. Part B studies incompressible inviscid flow, aerodynamic theory, compressible flow, and open-channel flow.

The course gives a basic understanding of concepts within the field of semantics and pragmatics using problem oriented exercises to highlight different traditions, including structural-typological semantics, logical semantics, cognitive semantics, and pragmatic theories of meaning. The course addresses philosophical issues such as: What is meaning? What is the relationship between meaning, world, and mind? Emphasis is placed on more linguistic issues such as: Do different languages have different systems of meaning? What is the relationship between the meaning and structure of language? Is meaning dependent on context?

Internet and Internet-related protocols have evolved to constitute the common network structure for all data and telephone communication. This course gives an overview of some of these protocols and takes a deep look into a selection. The course provides students with thorough knowledge, both theoretical and practical, about the constructions of the most central internet protocols. In particular, a deeper technical understanding is provided for (among others) the following: transport protocols, routing principles, and application examples.

The module focuses on attention and cognitive control, memory, language, social interaction, problem solving and thinking, and decision making. This module communicates knowledge about the neurocognitive basis of emotion and how cognitive function is influenced by emotion and introduces different types of brain damage and psychoorganic syndromes. Students participate in laboratory demonstrations to train important skills for conducting empirical studies in cognitive neuroscience, including reporting the results in accordance with the international norms for publication in psychology. This course is part of PSYCHOLOGY: COGNITIVE NEUROSCIENCE (30 ECTS).
