A discussion about biographical methods and a comparision between my biography of Oscar I, swedish king 1844-1859, and my biographies of women in the 1900-th century.

This thesis deals with numerical simulation of reactive flows. The numerical method is three dimensional and unsteady, which allows for spatial and temporal resolution of most of the scales of the fluid motion and the reaction process. In the turbulent cases studied, scales down to Taylor scales are resolved. Hence, it can be considered to be a large eddy simulation, LES. In the laminar cases stud

The Draft Treaty establishing the Constitution for Europe introduces some significant changes in the institutional setting of the European Union; the present study focuses on reforms made by this text in the EU system of external representation, particularly in the area of the Common Foreign and Security Policy. Although the Amsterdam Treaty has also been a attempt to reform only a few years ago,

På grund av ökad immigration till Sverige finns ett behov av att undersöka hur denna påverkar aktivitet, hälsa och meningsfullhet. Syftet med studien var att undersöka vilken eller vilka förändringar av aktivitetsmönstret som skett i Sverige i jämförelse med hemlandet och hur detta kan påverka kvinnliga flyktingars upplevelse av hälsa och meningsfullhet i vardagen. En kvalitativ metod med semistru

Differentiated instruction is a widely known approach used in different educational settings, especially in diverse classrooms. Teachers are expected to be able to meet the need of all learners and differentiate instructional parameters such as content, process and product accordingly. While previous research has shown that a successful implementation of the concept is beneficial for the students,

Location Specific Advantages (LSAs) kan ses som lokala, immateriella tillgångar som finns på en viss plats i form av exempelvis billig arbetskraft eller en välutvecklad infrastruktur. I FN:s manual för internprissättning från maj 2013 ges både Kina och Indien egna kapitel där de förklarar sin syn på LSAs och hur de anser att multinationella bolag bör ta hänsyn till dessa i sin internprissättning. Location Specific Advantages (LSAs) can be considered as local intangibles in a specific place, as for instance: cheap labour or well-developed infrastructure. Both China and India have their own chapters in the United Nations Practical Manual on Transfer Pricing for Developing Countries from May 2013, where they are able to express their views on LSAs and how multinational enterprises (MNEs) shou

The purpose of this thesis is to create a greater understanding of the process of the commissionaires’ work with the report Malmö’s way to a sustainable future, which was finished and presented in March 2013. It is not the content of the report that is of interest for the writer, or in focus in this thesis, but how the commissionaires working with the report experienced the process: was it transpa

Det övergripande temat för denna uppsats är inriktat mot att reda ut den komplicerade, och i doktrin väl diskuterade, lojalitetsplikten för styrelsen i ett aktiebolag. Lojalitetsplikten är inte uttryckligen lagstadgad i Aktiebolagslagen (2005:551) (ABL), dess existens erkänns dock av en majoritet i doktrin. Diskussionen i doktrin hänvisar både till regler och allmänna rättsprinciper för att bekräfThe general theme of this thesis is directed towards unravelling the complicated, and in doctrine well discussed, duty of loyalty for the board of directors in a corporate company. The duty of loyalty is not explicitly legislated in the Swedish Company Act, however the majority in Swedish doctrine recognizes its exist-ence. The discussion in doctrine refers to rules as well as general principles o

Samhällsplaneringen har i någon månalltid varit intresserad av relationellaflöden. Det bilsamhälle som cementeradesunder efterkrigstidens rekordår var ihögsta grad en fråga om att styra rörelsermellan olika platser med industrins behovav arbetskraft som ledstjärna. Men, omvi ser närmare var det inte bara regionplanenstrafiksystem som var relationellt.Bostadsgården skulle skapa platser förolika anv

The paper aims at examining the levels of social cohesion and socio-economic dysfunctionality in former State Agricultural Farms (post-PGR) areas and at assessing the possibilities for initiating bottom-up actions, and for participating in the creation of mechanisms for local development. Data used in the study was obtained in multimethods approach, i.e. mainly during a questionnaire survey, in-de

The ongoing transition to renewable fuel sources has led to increased use of wood and other biomass fuels. The physiochemical characteristics of biomass combustion derived aerosols depends on appliances, fuel and operation procedures, and particles generated during incomplete combustion are linked to toxicity. Frequent indoor wood burning is related to severe health problems such as negative effec

Det svenska universitetssystemet har vuxit till att bli en omfattande och komplex institution. Expansionen har inte bara gällt antalet studenter, lärare och forskare utan också den administrativa ram de verkar inom och de personalkategorier som ingår däri. Men förhållandet mellan lärarkår och administratörer präglas inte sällan av misstro. I sin artikel vill Ola Agevall och Gunnar Olofsson tränga

From 2013 onward, Sweden and Finland gradually distinguish themselves from all other NATO partners in order to meet the growing challenge how to defend the Baltics. In the analysis, the concept of ‘informal ally’, in contrast to ‘formal ally’, is introduced. A synthesized analytical framework is used to evaluate the process of ever closer partner cooperation and its shifting focus from cooperative

The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child is a human rights legal document decided and adopted by the UN General Assembly in November 1989. This international convention has had a major impact on children’s rights, policies and legislation in many countries around the world. Another prominent feature of the development, however, is the lack of research in many areas on implementation of childre

Gas turbine systems are predominantly designed to be fuelled with gaseous fuels within a limited Wobbe index range (typically HHV=45-55 MJ/Nm3 or 1200-1480 Btu/scf). When low calorific fuel gases are fired, the engine will be forced to operate outside its design envelope. The added mass flow will typically raise the cycle pressure ratio and in two-shaft designs also raise the gas generator shaft s
