When designing large complex steel structures numerical calculation methods are always used to some extent. The simulation technology of today is advanced and can with proper modeling technique provide detailed analyses which captures the structural response accurately. For most projects it is not reasonable to analyze a complete structure in exact detail and therefore simplified methods are used
Ickekonstitutionella regeringsförändringar har varit ett stort problem i Afrika sen avkoloniseringen och militärkupper har varit en minst lika vanlig form av regeringsbyte som demokratiska val. Afrikanska unionen (AU) har sen den bildades 2001 utvecklat den afrikanska internationella rätten för att kunna hantera dessa situationer. AU:s föregångare Organisationen för afrikansk enighet (OAU) hade inUnconstitutional changes of government has been a major problem in Africa since decolonization with military coups being a more common way of changing government than democratic elections. The African Union (AU) was established in 2001 and has since then provided a significant development of the African law, not the least in the branch of law covering the AU response to unconstitutional changes of
In Sweden and elsewhere in the world the construction industry has encountered criticism due to its lower productivity gains in comparison to other industries. This is why continual improvement of processes and forms of cooperation are important, as is utilisation of technologies giving greater efficiencies. The focus in Sweden has mainly been on the construction of multifamily buildings, both bec
Studies of the structural dynamics of solids can improve our understanding of atomic motion in materials, and may thus help in the manufacture of new devices or the development of materials with novel structures and properties. Ultrashort laser pulses, a few tens of femtoseconds long, can deliver high energies (mJ–kJ). This energy is absorbed by the electrons in a solid material, leading to a rapi
Impact craters are among the most pervasive geological features on solid bodies throughout the inner Solar System. The heavily cratered surface of the Moon offers a stark visual record of the Solar System’s early history of intense bombardment, a record largely absents from Earth’s dynamic surface. Despite having experienced a comparable flux of impact events over deep time, Earth's geological pro
The interventions of portable digital devices such as mobile telephones, mp3 players, PDAs and many others, have contributed to the formation of contemporary notions of space. The impact of these devices' mobility (informing the users' mobility) could even be paralleled to the shift from the effects of still photography to those of film in the 19th century. Especially important for the perspective
Popular Abstract in Swedish Den moderna epokens början återfinns i det sena sjuttonhundratalet och i Europa. Det är en epok, en kultur som förstår sig som både ny och som annorlunda i förhållande till tidigare epoker och kulturer, sådana som vilat på myter, religion och tradition. Den nya kulturens fundamentala insikt bestod i att ingenting måste vara så som det är, utan allt vore möjligt också påThe problem which the present study discusses is modernity. The study interprets modernity’s cultural and anthropological dispositions as historical appearances. Consequently, it is situated at the intersection of cultural sociology and historical anthropology. The aim is to generate insight and understanding rather than a coherent theory. The key element consists of combination and variation of c
Popular Abstract in Swedish För unga personer med funktionsnedsättningar är det viktigt att vara som alla andra och därmed inte avvika från mängden på ett för personen oönskat sätt. Hjälpmedel är produkter som en person med en eller flera funktionsnedsättningar kan använda för att kunna vara delaktig i vårt samhälle. Dessa produkter möjliggör för personen att delta i de sociala aktiviteter han ellFor young persons with disabilities it is important to be as everyone else and not deviating from the normative in an unwanted way. Assistive devices are products that persons with disabilities can use to get accessibility to our society. Such products enable the person to participate in activities he or she wishes to take part in. However assistive devices are also a sign for disability, indicati
The refugee families face a complex transition due to the nature of the migration. This exposes them to vulnerability in cohesion and family function. Primary Health Care Nurses (PHCN) and Interpreters in Primary Health Care (PHC) play a vital role in their promotion of health because migrant health care is mainly carried out within PHC. The overall aim of this thesis was to reach a comprehensive
interactIVe introduces safety systems that autonomously brake and steer. The driver is continuously supported by interactIVe assistance systems. They warn the driver in potentially dangerous situations. The systems do not only react to driving situations, but are also able to actively intervene in order to protect occupants and vulnerable road users. The objective of interactIVe is to develop new
The Expansion of Higher Education in the Swedish the Welfare State and the Reconfiguration of its Professional Workforce Gunnar Olofsson The rapid expansion of the Swedish university sector has channelled many students into study programs that lead to employment in new kinds of jobs, occupations and professional groups. There are three main reasons why more and more occupations get their trai
Young adult audiences, news, and news satire: A double-voiced engagementDuring the past decades, news satire has become increasingly popular in many parts of the world (Baym & Jones 2013), while more traditional news genres – in print and broadcast media – seem to be losing some of its young adult audience (cf. Wadbring 2016). Additionally, in the contemporary media landscape, audiences engage
Popular Abstract in Swedish Undertrycksbehandling av sår (negative pressure wound therapy, NPWT) har förekommit under lång tid i olika utföranden. Sedan slutet av 1990-talet har användningen av tekniken ökat kraftigt inom flera kliniska discipliner eftersom effekten på sårläkning visat sig vara mycket god för många olika sårtyper. Trots omfattande forskning saknas det fortfarande kunskaper om hur Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) promotes wound healing through several mechanisms, e.g., altered periwound blood flow, mechanical deformation of the wound edge tissue, and drainage of excess fluid and debris. The general aim of this thesis was to study the impact of different levels of negative pressure, different wound filling materials (foam or gauze), and different ways of applying the n
Popular Abstract in Swedish Alzheimers sjukdom är den vanligaste orsaken till uppkomsten av demens. Detta tillstånd innebär att delar av hjärnan skrumpnar på ett karakteristiskt vis, när nervceller går under. Den drabbade brukar först märka svårigheter med korttidsminnet, för att senare drabbas av språksvårigheter, räknesvårigheter, svårigheter med rumslig uppfattning och svårigheter att veta hur Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the most common cause of dementia, is a growing concern. As the life expectancy increases across the globe, the number of affected people is estimated to reach 100 million by 2050. Efforts to develop effective treatments for humans have mostly been based on the assumption that a faulty homeostasis of beta amyloid (Aβ) is the triggering or the driving factor behind this co
Partially Premixed Combustion (PPC) is an internal combustion engine concept that aims to yield low NOx and soot emission levels together with high engine efficiency. PPC belongs to the class of low temperature combustion concepts where the ignition delay is prolonged in order to promote the air-fuel-mixture homogeneity in the combustion chamber at the start of combustion. A more homogeneous combu
Online Access Panel (OAP) marketing research is a new method for conducting marketing research in order to create decision power. For example the decision power can be used in product development, business development and innovation. There are hardly any common practices agreed upon concerning OAP marketing research and there have been many discussions as to whether the method can be seen as repre
My thesis deals with the VW-Gesetz and its compatibility with the free movement of capital (Art. 56 EC). The whole topic is highly political because Volkswagen is the biggest car-producer in Niedersachsen (Lower Saxony) and provides many jobs in that area. There have been attempts to takeover the company, which have not been successful because the VW-Gesetz includes several provisions, which make
EU-rättens arbetsrättslagstiftning hade i sitt inledningsskede främst till syfte att undvika konkurrenshinder och att säkra den fria rörligheten. Med tiden utvecklades dock arbetsrätten till att lägga större fokus på det sociala området, sociala handlingsprogram antogs och att uppnå jämlikhet mellan könen blev med tiden något eftersträvansvärt. Utvecklingen fortsatte och likabehandlingsdirektivet The labour legislation in the EU had in its early stages the purpose to avoid barriers of competition and to ensure the free movement within the union. Over time, as EU labour law developed, a greater focus was put on social matters and achieving gender equality became desirable. As a part of this development, the Equal Treatment Directive was adopted. The Directive regulated equal opportunities i
Syftet med denna framställning har varit att utreda nämndemäns medverkan i allmän förvaltningsdomstol och att, med utgångspunkt i förvaltningsprocessens syften och funktion, diskutera huruvida sådan medverkan kan anses vara lämplig. Nämndemäns medverkan i allmän domstol har kunnat konstateras vara en tradition med mycket gamla anor medan traditionen med nämndemän i allmän förvaltningsdomstol barThe main purposes of this thesis was to investigate lay judges’ (nämndemäns) participation in Swedish general administrative courts (allmänna förvaltningsdomstolar) and to discuss whether this involvement can be considered suitable and compatible with the purposes and function of the Administrative judicial procedure (förvaltningsprocessen).
