#MeToo became in 2017 a strong and successful movement in Sweden where women exercised their freedom of expression to question structural injustice and men’s sexual violence against women. The movement broke the silence and stigma about being victim of men’s sexual violence and helped fight impunity. However, some of the #MeToo women in Sweden who told their stories also pointed out their perpetra

Värmebehov är beroende av rådande temperatur och väder samt kunders förbrukningsmönster. Detta ger upphov till varierande fjärrvärmelast och en konsekvent mer komplicerad värmeproduktion. Denna studie har undersökt potentialen för laststyrning, då byggnader utnyttjas som värmelager under kortare tid. Arbetet har fokuserat på modellering och utveckling av styrregler för laststyrningsmodellen samt iHeat load is dependent on outside temperature and weather as well as consumer habits. This leads to a variation in heat load and consequently a more complicated production. This study investigated the potential of demand side management, using load shifting and utilizing buildings for thermal storage. The work focused on modelling and developing operating conditions as well as implementation in di

Purpose: To develop a model, questions and criteria that can be used to assess and benchmark the environmental management performance of firms. Delimitations: An evaluation is not supposed to take more than two weeks to conduct and prerequisites the companies’ full cooperation. Methods: Qualitative and quantitative data was collected from interviews, internal documents and literature studies to de

Psykiskt störda lagöverträdare har ofta inte samma förutsättningar som andra att följa lagen då de kan ha en annan föreställning av, eller en annan förmåga att resonera kring, verkligheten. Det är vår föreställning av verkligheten som ger oss skäl att göra eller att inte göra vissa saker, och vår uppfattning om vilka följder vårt handlande kommer att få, får betydelse för om vi företar handlingen Mentally disordered offenders often do not have the same preconditions as others to follow the law as they may have a different perception of, or a different ability to reason about, reality. It is our perception of reality that gives us reason to do or not do certain things, and our perception of the consequences our actions will have has an impact on whether we undertake them or not. If you have

In this thesis four economic incentives to reduce exhaust emissions of carbon dioxide are studied. The incentives are: the carbon dioxide tax, carbon dioxide differentiated vehicle tax, green car cash bonus and old car scrapping bonus. They are analysed and discussed in deeper theory. Where figures and numbers are available these are studied. Economically they are all more or less efficient. The e

Den internationella syndikerade lånemarknaden har sina rötter från 1960-talet och har alltsedan dess varit en av de största, mest flexibla och viktigaste finansieringskällorna för stater och företag världen över. Från 1990-talet fram till och med finanskrisens utbrott hösten 2008 växte marknadsvolymerna kraftigt. Sedan dess har volymerna minskat dramatiskt. Kärnan i ett syndikerat lån är att tvåThe international syndicated loan market has its roots from the 1960s and has ever since been one of the largest, most flexible and most important sources of funding for states and corporations worldwide. From the 1990s until the financial crisis started in the autumn of 2008 market volumes grew sharply. Since then, however, volumes have dropped dramatically. The core of a syndicated loan is that

In my paper I have emanated from the question when a refusal to deal by an undertaking in a dominant position constitutes an abuse according to article 82 EC Treaty. Article 82 of The Consolidated version of the Treaty establishing the European Community, signed in Rome 1957, incorporating the changes made by the Treaty of Amsterdam on 2 October 1997, OJ 1997 C340, pp. 173-308, hereafter referred

1914 women were asked to count fetal movements for 15 minutes every evening from the 28th week of pregnancy until parturition. An individual lowest limit for number of fetal movements was calculated from the first five counts. The women were instructed to contact the maternity ward for fetal evaluation as soon as their count fell below the lowest limit on two consecutive evenings (alarm signal). 7

For the juice package to protect and keep your juice fresh it is important that the different layers in the packaging material sticks very well together. The ability for two things to stick together is called adhesion. For the people that create juice packages, this is important to measure so that the packages don’t leak. This measurement has turned out to be very tricky, but this study has shown

An F77 package for feed-forward artificial neural network data processing, JETNET 3.0, is presented. It represents a substantial extension and generalization of an earlier release, JETNET 2.0. The package, which consists of a set of subroutines, is focused on multilayer perceptron architectures. As compared to earlier versions it contains a variety of minimization options, measures for monitoring

In recent decades, obesity has gone from being a problem of first world countries to a global one. It is considered one of the main risk factors for many serious medical conditions. In order to treat and/or prevent obesity different strategies have been considered, one of the most common being the inhibition of lipase, the enzyme that is mainly responsible for lipid digestion. Even though there is

The shear plate dowel joint (SPDJ) is a novel connection design for heavy timber structures. The connection uses a single large diameter dowel and glued-on steel plates to transfer loads between members. Consequently, the design of the dowel is of great influence for the global performance of the connection. This paper presents an experimental and numerical investigation of the influence of the ge

In the present work, we addressed the relationship between parental leave policies and social norms. Using a pre-registered, cross-national approach, we examined the relationship between parental leave policies and the perception of social norms for the gender division of childcare. In this study, 19,259 students (11,924 women) from 48 countries indicated the degree to which they believe childcare

Background: It has long been argued that decision support systems are used to simplify and support businesses. The creators of the Balanced Scorecard, Kaplan and Norton, have developed their own software application to facilitate and create a support to organizational strategy work. The application is called the Executive Strategy Manager (ESM) and is an online application aimed at helping organiz

In this paper, a corrugated plate heat exchanger in solar energy systems is used to investigate heat transfer and fluid flow characteristics of various nanofluids. By adding various nanoparticles (Al2O3-30 nm, SiC-40 nm, CuO-30 nm and Fe3O4-25 nm) into the base fluid, effects of nanofluid types and particle concentrations (0.05 wt.%, 0.1 wt.%, 0.5 wt.% and 1.0 wt.%) on the thermal performance of t

Methods: This was a retrospective observational study performed at Fondazione Policlinico Universitario A. Gemelli, Istituto di Ricovero e Cura a Carattere Scientifico, IRCCS, Rome (Gemelli center). Patients with a histological diagnosis of recurrent granulosa cell tumor o

This study investigates how the spread of boarding passengers between the doors of a train affects the probability of dwell time delays for commuter trains. We make use of automatic passenger count data, collected on a door-by-door level, from commuter trains in the Southern region of Scania in Sweden. The aim of our study is to understand the context in which potential measures to spread out boar

The present paper is discussing some results of the bigger experiment that was conducted in order to study the effect of different sweat rates (3, 5 and 10 g/h) on footwear insulation. During the study series some tests with 8-hour sweating were carried out. A thermal foot model was used for testing. The model is divided into 8 zones and had 5 “sweat glands”. A thin sock was donned on foot model f

Industry and society want to recruit students who can work in team-based projects. Thus the task for educators in higher education is to prepare and provide such learning environments. However, assessment is one major challenge associated with enacting these learning environments. The literature advocates active team learning but then supports individual assessment modes. The purpose of this paper

Popular Abstract in Swedish Kärleksdofter och varningsljud i bekämpning av nattfjärilar Jag har studerat hur populationer av skadegörande nattfjärilar kan bekämpas med miljövänliga metoder där djurens egna sinnessystem manipuleras. Liksom många andra insekter kommunicerar nattfjärilar med artspecifika doftsignaler (feromoner) vid parning. Honan avger doften i enstaka nanogram (miljarddels gram!) The impact of olfactory and auditory cues on the mating behaviour in two species of moths, Agrotis segetum (Noctuidae) and Plodia interpunctella (Pyralidae), was investigated to evaluate their potential use in integrated pest management. The flight behaviour of male A. segetum under natural and pheromone-based mating disruption conditions was monitored by harmonic radar. Individual males were equi
