Climatic conditions during the winter in countries situated in the north can be considered severe. This is especially true for hydraulic structures, such as hydro power structures, dams, harbours, canals and some bridge foundations. Freezing of concrete in contact with unfrozen fresh water may have a considerable impact on the deterioration process of concrete. This paper presents results obtained
This text deals with a problem concerning processes of the productive power of knowledge. We draw on so called poststructural theories challenging the classical image of thought – as hinged upon a representational logic identifying entities in a rigid sense – when formulating a problem concerning the gap between knowledge and the object of knowledge. More specifically we are looking at this proble
Today, 14 years have gone since the whole world turned their backs on Rwanda, the small country in East Africa, during a time when its population needed us the most. These were the same nations that already after the Second World War had made a promise about ''Never Again'', then meaning that they would never again allow another attempt to exterminate an entire ethnic group. It was
In this essay the subjects of city development and governance are studied in a context of democracy. The empirical cases for this study are two city development projects in the city of Helsingborg, Sweden. The two projects are studied with a focus on governance and democracy. The analysis shows that increased competition between cities have led to a situation where many cities use governance relat
The Shapeyard project was an attempt to commercialize a piece of university research by two academics at Lund University. Their algorithm that they developed together allowed for the customization of furniture using morphological patterns found in nature as a design concept. The idea was brought to a group of students completing their Masters of Science in Entrepreneurship degree in order to gain
Purpose: The purpose of this work was to explore the possibility to compare treatment-planning- and treatment-delivery systems for intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) using an objective approach. The approach investigated was the Pareto front concept. An additional aim was to adequately compare three different IMRT treatment planning and delivery systemsMaterials and methods: In IMRT trea
We have studied if there is a possible link between states’ membership in intergovernmental organizations and a desire to participate in democratization processes in our chosen analytical objects Estonia and Belarus. We analysed our empirical findings by categorizing the membership of each countries membership in IGOs. By comparing what organization each country is a part of and which ones they ha
Social capital is a concept that has gained widespread use and recognition in many academic disciplines. This interest stems from an idea that the social capital produced in the organisations and associations of civil society can be beneficial in the creation and furthering of democratic processes and economic development among many other things. Using normative methods of consequentiality I will
In this thesis the relationship between democracy and new modes of governance is examined. The empirical overview suggests that these theoretically described modes could be identified within the Swedish nuclear governing. The potential consequences these new forms of governance have for democracy is further examined through a normative evaluation. Democracy is operationalized by the values partici
Abstract Title: Public-Private Partnership in Sustainable City Development Authors: Malin Olofsson, Maryna Pouzhyk, Vera Koreneva, and Quinn Ertel Tutor: Stein Kleppestø – Associate Professor, Department of Business Administration, Lund University Background: E.ON and Malmö have formed a Public-Private Partnership to lead the sustainable city development initiative in Hyllie. The green field de
Motivated by the increasing importance of today’s environmental issues as well as by the increasing concerns related to energy use, the study is intended to perform an energy intensity decomposition in order to analyze the effects of structural and technical changes on the energy patterns and in specific on the energy intensity of ten major developing countries in Asia and in Latin America. The ma
Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka gällande rätt avseende förutsättningarna för förvaltningsbesluts verkställbarhet och att fokusera på betydelsen av att beslut vinner laga kraft. Uppsatsen berör även utvecklingen på området och de lege ferenda. Innebörden av att ett förvaltningsbeslut blir verkställbart är inte enbart att beslutet kan eller ska verkställas med hjälp av en myndighet. I begreppet inThe purpose of the thesis is to examine the law in regard to the conditions of enforceability of decisions in administrative law and, in particular, the significance of legal force. The thesis also deals with the development of relevant legal matter and de lege ferenda. The enforceability of a decision in administrative law does not only mean that it may or shall be enforced by an authority. It al
The focus of this essay is the process of human self-identification in the human-cat relationship as narrated in On Cats by Doris Lessing. The concept of ‘narrative’, understood in the sense that it assigns meaning by connecting events and experiences, has allowed for an analysis of the meaningful connections in the interaction between the two species. By employing the philosophical term of ‘the O
Problemställning: Cementproduktionen står idag för ca 5% av världens koldioxidutsläpp, vilket har stor negativ påverkan på klimatet. För att minska utsläppen behöver cementanvändningen reduceras genom t.ex. ersätta cement med andra material, såsom flygaska, mald granulerad masugnsslagg och kalcinerad lera. Syfte: Syftet är att undersöka den maximala vol.% cement som kan ersättas med flygaska, slaProblem: The production of cement stands today for approximately 5% of the world total emission of carbon dioxide, which has negative impact on the environment. In order to reduce the emission, the use of cement has to be reduced by e.g. replacing some of the cement with other materials. Purpose: The purpose is to find the maximum amount of fly ash, slag and calcined clay that can be used in conc
Using a newly digitised historical dataset on clean water technologies in Swedish cities, this study tries to find the causal effect (and the magnitude of this effect) of the introduction of clean water technology on mortality in urban areas. Using urban mortality data on a county level, and clean water access data on city level, both OLS, fixed effects, and difference-in-differences models are tr
Kanari Domna Mining geosocial data from Flickr to explore tourism patterns: The case study of Athens Social media are providing a new type of geo-tagged data that by processing them, new types of knowledge can be generated and used by decision-makers in different areas including tourism. It includes e.g., identifying touristic areas that are not prioritized or advertised by touristic authorities
