The use of load and structural performance measurement information is vital for efficient structural integrity management and for the cost of energy production with Offshore Wind Turbines (OWTs). OWTs are dynamically sensitive structures subject to an interaction with a control unit exposed to repeated cyclic wind and wave loads causing deterioration and fatigue. This study focuses on the quantifi
This paper provides an overview, insights, results and a classification related to development and analyses of case studies within the scientific networking project COST Action TU1402 on the value of Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) information. With an outline of the framework and approaches, a procedure on how to quantify the value of SHM information on the basis of the Bayesian decision theor
Identifying optimal inspection and repair strategies for offshore jacket structures is a challenging task. We present an approach, which is based on recent developments in the field of risk-based operation and maintenance planning at the structural system level. The approach utilizes heuristics to define inspection and repair strategies at the system level and to reduce the search space of possibl
This paper addresses the quantification of the value of structural health monitoring (SHM) before its implementation for structural systems on the basis of its Value of Information (VoI). The value of SHM is calculated utilizing the Bayesian pre-posterior decision analysis modelling the structural life cycle performance, the integrity management and the structural risks. The relevance and precisio
This paper develops the models for the structural performance of the loading and probabilistic characterization for the fatigue and the serviceability limit states for the support structure of offshore wind energy converters. These models and a sensitivity study are part of a risk based assessment and monitoring framework and will be applied for establishing the "as designed and constructed" relia
Regional roles of universities in the Global South have been under-explored, and it is not clear how relevant are concepts originating from the Global North when applied in this context. The paper interrogates the concept of the ‘entrepreneurial university’ and its regional impact and engagement via a case study in Brazil. It is found that, in addition to purely entrepreneurial and economic activi
In Mycena sectio Calodontes with otherwise amyloid spores, the inamyloid spores of Mycena pearsoniana Dennis ex Singer were a distinguishing feature for this species and its subsection Violacella. Although the original concept of this species was European, Singer chose to typify it with material collected in Mexico. The name has since been applied to all European collections with inamyloid spores
This paper develops a framework for analysing the role of innovation policy in regional innovation system (RIS) development. It specifically focuses on the influence of policy on a set of enabling conditions for RIS that have not been taken fully into account in previous innovation policy studies. Drawing on relevant literature on innovation systems, such as innovation policy, triple helix and pol
Today, just as in the early days of flying, much emphasis is put on the pilot student’s flight training before flying a real commercial aircraft. In the early stages of a pilot student’s education, they must, for example, learn different operating procedures known as flow patterns using very basic tools, such as exhaustive manuals and a so-called paper tiger. In this paper, we present a first desi
We revisit and substantially extend the evidence on the importance of instruction time for student achievement on international assessments. We first successfully replicate the estimate of a positive effect of weekly instruction time in the seminal paper by Lavy (Economic Journal, 125, F397-F424) in a narrow sense. We then extend the analysis to data from other international student assessments an
Neuroblastoma is a childhood solid tumour originating from undifferentiated neural progenitor cells of the sympathetic nervous system. Drug resistance of childhood cancer neuroblastoma is a serious clinical problem. In the present study, we aimed to identify novel drugs that can inhibit the growth and survival of chemoresistant neuroblastoma. High-throughput screening identified a small molecule,
Anthropogenic pressure in the high altitude lakes such as Titicaca and Uru (Bolivia) may favor the production of methylmercury (MeHg) known to accumulate in trophic chains. Periphyton associated with emerged aquatic plants (totoras) from the lake shores accumulates and demethylates MeHg providing a potential cost-effective water treatment technique. In this laboratory study, we measured the MeHg u
Företagsskattekommitténs huvudförslag för nytt bolagsskattesystem är ett obeprövat beskattningssystem som inte finns i något annat land i världen. Denna uppsats behandlar både förslagets materiella innehåll och förslagets skattemässiga effekter för företag och branscher i Sverige. Kommitténs förslag är komplext och medför stora förändringar jämfört med dagens bolagsbeskattning. Förslaget innehålThe main proposal for a new corporate tax system from the Swedish Committee on Corporate Taxation is an untested system that does not exist in any other country in the world. This paper both deals with the content of the proposal and the tax effects of the proposed rules for companies and various lines of businesses in Sweden. The Committee’s proposal is complex and entails significant changes in
Hur ställer sig Skatteverket till ett slopande av revisionsplikten för små aktiebolag och vilka blir konsekvenserna för Skatteverket om en slopad revisionsplikt blir verklighet? Alla respondenter från Skatteverket är emot ett slopande av revisionsplikten. En av respondenterna uttryckte det som att det finns två ben varav det ena utgörs av Skatteverket och det andra av revisorerna. Det går då inte

Issue: To create a supporting IT-tool for project management in an integrated product development process at global companies is a complicated task. The IT-tool must be embedded in the organisation, managing the information flow in a correct way, support the product development framework, be accepted and commonly used in the whole company. These aspects must be fulfilled if an IT-tool for project
SYFTE: Vårt övergripande syfte är att undersöka hur företag tillämpar RR 17. Vi beskriver, analyserar och jämför de värdeminskningsindikationer som företagen beaktar samt de subjektiva bedömningar som företagen gör i samband med en värdenedgångsprövning. METOD: Vår studie präglas främst av det induktiva angreppssättet eftersom den tar sin utgångspunkt i verklighet och praxis, och våra slutsatser g
Syftet med vår uppsats är att kartlägga och diskutera olika förslag på åtgärder för att öka andelen kvinnor på ledande befattningar i svenskt arbetsliv. Vår avsikt är att skapa en teoretisk förståelse för åtgärdsförslagen utifrån ett feministiskt samt organisationsteoretiskt perspektiv. Uppsatsen är en kvalitaitv dokumentstudie som baserats på ett urval av svenska tidningsartiklar. Studien har res
This paper is concerned with surveying the possibilities of implementing a futures market based on the valuation of non-commercial real estate in Sweden. We base our survey on a theoretical speculation of how such a market would operate and what instrument would best suit the marketplace. After reaching our solution we survey key experts to receive their feedback on our suggested solution. Their f
En 80-talist karaktäriseras bland annat av sitt meningssökande, gruppfokus och sökande efter trygghet i otryggheten. Dessa attribut talar för att dessa individer skulle preferera en decentraliserad organisationsstruktur där de får svar på sina relevansfrågor via stimulerande arbetsuppgifter och arbetsformer. Arbetsformerna får gärna lämna utrymme för ansvar och målstyrningen är kanske den styrning
