Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna doktorsavhandling presenterar resultaten från ett forskningsprojekt inriktat mot arkitektonisk utformning i det industriella byggandet. Arbetet har inledningsvis fram till licentiat bedrivits inom ramen för ett nationellt forskningsprogram inriktat mot industriellt träbyggande, Lean Wood Engineering. Ansatsen i detta forskningsarbete har emellertid varit att förutThe thesis presents the results from a research project targeting architectural design and house-building in a setting of industrialized design process and product platforms. During the early stages of a traditional design process, architects manage a degree of problem complexity, besides technical aspects, also includes user function, material, environment, aesthetics etc. As a result of the des

Popular Abstract in English My dissertation is a Swedish history of ideas 1965-2010 as expressed in the best-selling and most influential Swedish police novels and films.

This version introduces the Technocratic Mode of Production based on the exploitation of the consumers. It includes a complete description of the cyborg society as it is today, the new castes that constitute it and the economic acts that regulate the new Mode of P

The extraction procedure for analysis of the raffinose family oligosaccharides (RFOs) in blanched leguminous vine peas was optimized. For this purpose, 25 pea samples from different cultivars and of different maturity were chosen at random. The effect of blanching was also studied in four cultivars. The yield of oligosaccharides was almost double on average when extracted with 50% ethanol as compa

To obtain a perspective of changes occurring in the marine environment it is essential to study an area over a long time span. Doing so might also facilitate the understanding of the mechanisms and processes that govern a certain marine setting. In this thesis, changes in the pelagic and benthic environment during the last c. 200 years have been investigated in two fjords on the Swedish west coast

This report is about glazed balconies and intends to answer following questions: • Does glazed balconies have a “grey area” – i.e. is it free for interpretation? • Are better definitions for glazed balconies and its aspects needed? • Can our research expand the possibilities with glazed balconies from an aesthetic and practical view? The report will be processing different types of definitions and

I Sverige utgörs majoriteten av våra grundvattenresurser av isälvavlagringar i form av rullstensåsar och isälvsdeltan bestående av sand och grus. Isälvsavlagringarna är utan tvekan de mest betydelsefulla grundvattenförekomsterna för Sveriges dricksvattenförsörjning. Mer än 80% av landets alla vattenverk utnyttjar vatten från dessa resurser. En ojämn fördelning av grundvattenresurserna i kombinatioMost of Sweden’s groundwater resources are made up from glacifluvial deposits such as eskers and deltas that consist of sand and gravel. Glacifluvial deposits are certainly the most significant groundwater resources for drinking water supplies in Sweden. Groundwater resources are used to supply more than 80% of all the existing water plants nationwide. These important resources have an uneven dist

Den 17 november 2021 röstade Sveriges riksdag igenom regeringens förslag om en ny lag som innebär slopandet av straffrabatt för unga myndiga lagöverträdare vid allvarlig brottslighet. Vidare innebär förslaget att samma straff ska kunna utdömas till 18–20 åringar som till andra myndiga lagöverträdare, däribland fängelse på livstid.

Reliable methods for estimating financial return volatility are crucial in many areas of trading and investing. Two such frameworks, the GARCH and SV, have been of particular interest to academics and practitioners alike. The GARCH model describes the variance of the current innovation as a function of the actual sizes of the previous innovations. In contrast, the stochastic volatility model descr

Abstract Hydrogen as an alternative energy carrier has been up for discussion over decades. Perhaps this time, however, the political momentum and global technical context could be advantageous enough for the hydrogen economy to finally materialize. Despite investments from the EU commission up to €470 billion in renewable hydrogen, there are economical challenges in the way of decarbonisation of

All införskaffning av varor, tjänster och byggentreprenader som görs inom den offentliga sektorn ska som huvudregel föregås av en offentlig upphandling. Offentlig upphandling kan definieras som en urvalsprocess med vissa moment som till sist leder till att den upphandlande myndigheten tecknar avtal med en vinnande leverantör. Det upphandlingsrättsliga regelverket inom EU består främst av två direk

Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) has become popular in many research fields for the past two decades. NIRS technology uses near infrared light for measuring changes in the concentration of deoxygenated hemoglobin and oxygenated hemoglobin. Noninvasive near-infrared absorption measurements in tissue have many invaluable applications in the medical field. Today NIRS is a very attractive technique w

Uganda has experienced extreme weather for example droughts and flooding for many years resulting from rainfall deficits and variability. With the increased manifestation of negative effects related to climate change and global warming, this challenge is becoming greater and greater. And with increased public awareness about disasters and disaster risks, communities are ceasing to portray droughts

Environmental Assessment is an assessment of the likely effects a project might have on the environment. The purpose of the assessment is to ensure that decision-makers consider environmental impacts before deciding whether to grant permission to new projects. The method originated in the United States in the 1960s and it can be defined as the process of identifying, predicting, evaluating and mit

The semiconductor industry is one of the most technologically advanced and complex industries in the world, not only because of the extreme development pace, but also because of the necessary production processes to create the finished product. The value increase from silicon as raw material, to integrated circuits (IC), is equivalent to the transformation of sand into a product worth more than it
