This paper investigates the often ambivalent assessment of the landscapes that have been shaped by Swedish modernity and the welfare policy. This ambivalence could be noticed in different medias, I would argue, for instance in art, photography and novels. In Lefebvrian terms I think you could identify an ongoing negotiation between the modern welfare state’s conceptualization of space and the live
Laws and regulations require that energy needs, indoor climate and moisture safety should be estimated and analyzed during the design phase, before a house is built. Available tools to predict the hygrothermal conditions need, in general, hourly exterior and interior climate boundary conditions. Available climate data sometimes consist of periods with incomplete or lack of data. The aim or this p
Proton scattering has been applied to the problem of elemental quantitative analysis of air particulate matter. Elements up through chlorine may be resolved using 16 MeV protons incident upon targets up to about 1 mg/cm2 in thickness. Using the FSU Super FM Tandem Accelerator and a large area solid state proton detector, an analysis can be performed in several minutes. Combination of this techniqu
This chapter provides an overview of the multi-faceted landscape of methods used to study the steering effects of the Sustainable Development Goals. After a discussion of the political use of science and the complex relations between science and politics, the chapter showcases a selection of different methods that are employed to trace the steering effects of the Sustainable Development Goals. Sel
This work is concerned with determining optimal sensor placements that allow for an accurate location estimate of structured signal sources, taking into account the expected location areas and the typical range of the parameters detailing the signals. In the presentation, we illustrate the technique for tonal sound signals, exploiting the expected harmonic structure of such signals. To determine p
Modeling of combustion engines using computational fluid dynamics (CFD), to investigate and improve performance of biodiesel combustion, calls for development of small and efficient chemical kinetics mechanisms that accurately represent ignition and flame propagation of renewable fuels. In this work, a semi-global approach is used to develop a mechanism suitable for three-dimensional CFD of fatty
Offentlig konst utgör en viktig del av stadsrummet och används i många olika syften. Det kan handla om att försköna platser och om att stärka känslan av tillhörighet och den lokala identiteten. Det finns också förväntningar på att konsten ska bidra till lösningar på samhällsproblem kopplade till brobyggande, otrygghet och segregation och lönsamhet genom att öka stadens attraktivitet. I denna rappo
3D food printing is a fascinating novel technology with many promising applications, from futuristic-looking food topersonalized nutrition, and space food for astronauts. However, much of its potential is only realized in the laboratoryor speculated in the literature. This research is an attempt to explore the barriers to the diffusion of this newtechnology to the wider market. It argues that the
This thesis studies two families of methods for finding zeros of finite sums of monotone operators, the first being variance-reduced stochastic gradient (VRSG) methods. This is a large family of algorithms that use random sampling to improve the convergence rate compared to more traditional approaches. We examine the optimal sampling distributions and their interaction with the epoch length. Speci
Localization and mapping is the foundational technology for augmented reality (AR) that enables sharing and persistence of digital content in the real world. While significant progress has been made, researchers are still mostly driven by unrealistic benchmarks not representative of real-world AR scenarios. In particular, benchmarks are often based on small-scale datasets with low scene diversity,
First Published in 1991. This is Volume 13 in a series of Transportation Studies. It contains 2 parts of the proceedings of a Conference held at Stockholmsmassan, Alvsjo, Sweden, 21-24 May 1989, organized by the Swedish Board of Transport in co-operation with the Department of Traffic Planning and Engineering, Lund Institute of Technology.
Finansieringen av nationella vetenskapliga tidskrifter har blivit ett lömskt problem eller ett wicked problem inte bara för historia utan för humaniora i stort. Liksom andra lömska problem utmärks denna fråga av att själva problembeskrivningen är föränderlig, definitionerna undflyende samt att problemet är sammanvävt med andra komplexa problemområden. För en långsiktig lösning är det därför nödvänThe question of how to fund Swedish academic journals such as Scandia has become a wicked problem, not only for history but also for the humanities as a whole. This issue is confounded by the difficulty in terms of categorizing these journals and their funding needs and further complicated by the global movement towards open access. For the humanities, the issue of how to fund these journals is of
