This chapter summarizes my doctoral thesis about Universal Design (UD) in Sweden, contributing knowledge about the understanding, implementation, and co-creation of UD. The implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in Sweden made UD a guiding principle, necessitating research about the practical side of UD. Using qualitative research methods, interviews and gro
The transformation of complex spatial and temporal patterns into mapped and recorded archaeological data requires archaeologists to translate temporally non-distinct processes of exploration into a series of visual recordings of distinct moment of discovery. These visual records, produced by articulating key moments in the excavation process as cleaned and documentable contexts and finds, form a cThe transformation of complex spatial and temporal patterns into mapped and recordedarchaeological data requires archaeologists to translate temporally non-distinct processes ofexploration into a series of visual recordings of distinct moment of discovery.

Lead has traditionally been added to brass alloys to achieve high machinability, but the exact mechanisms at work are still debated. Lead-free brass alternatives could be developed if these mechanisms were better understood. Accordingly, machinability characteristics were investigated for two brass alloys with similar mechanical properties and phase composition, but with very different machining c
What are we subjected to when presented with stories about art's past in the context of classrooms or collections? In order to prepare students for a profession in the humanities or in the field of artistic production and reception at large, art history courses in higher education are obliged to provide them with an understanding for the collection of texts, debates or works of art that are consid
Nyhamnen, som en gång definierades av industri, färjor och hamnfunktioner planeras bli Malmös nya stadsdel med tusentals bostäder, arbetsplatser och nya stadsfunktioner. Idag står platsen tom, karaktäriserad av stora asfalterade ytor, åtskilda av staket. Platsen befinner sig i väntan, på tröskeln mellan då och sen. I närheten av Nyhamnen finns två materialbanker. En stor del av det här arbetet hNyhamnen, once defined by industrial activities, ferry terminals and harbour functions, will in the future become Malmö’s new neighborhood with thousands of new housings, workplaces and city functions. Today the area stands empty, defined by large vacant spaces closed of by fences. The area awaits in silence, standing on the threshold between past and future. In close proximity to the site, ther
Dateringen för uppförandet av Kämpinge kyrka på Falsterbohalvön var okänd fram till 1987. Det året undersökte lärare och studenter från Lunds universitet byggnaden och kyrkogården. Kyrkan visade sig vara byggd omkring år 1400 och utformad med långhus, kor och tresidigt avslutat kor. Ett sidoaltare vid norra tvärskeppet och ett högaltare dokumenterades, liksom två separata golvnivåer och fundament The construction date for Kämpinge church on the Falsterbo peninsula was unknown until 1987. In that year, teachers and students from Lund University investigated the building and the cemetery. The church was found to be built around 1400 AD and designed with a nave, chancel and three-sided chancel gable. A side altar at the north transept and a high altar were documented, along with two separate
The SET theory implies that energy is transferred from the catalyst system via infrared radiation to the molecules that are supposed to react. In previous investigations it has been demonstrated that the activation of the reacting species-as long as the molecules are infrared active-can occur at low adsorption strength. However, for molecules that are IR inactive, e.g. dinitrogen, this is not poss
This study investigates values and narratives of urban biodiversity in the highly culturally and biologically diverse city Cape Town, South Africa. Local expressions of values of biodiversity are explored, in the context of the challenge of accounting for diverse values of biodiversity through a green infrastructure approach. Based on interviews with practitioners involved in green space and biodi
Textile handicrafts are often seen as an important tool for women to handle times of crisis and societal change. This chapter explores and discusses the Swedish humanitarian organisation Individuell Människohjälp (Swedish Development Partner), IM, and its strategies of developing local traditions of textile handicraft work as help to self-help in the small mountain village of Vlasti in Northern Gr
Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) are promising candidates for future energy systems due to their ability to use renewable fuels and that they are energy efficient. A fully coupled two-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model based on the finite element method (using COMSOL Multiphysics) is developed to describe an intermediate temperature SOFC single cell. Governing equations for various
Nowadays for small-scale power generation there are electrochemical batteries and mini engines. Many efforts have been done for improving the power density of the batteries but unfortunately the value of 1 MJ/kg seems to be asymptotic. If the energy source is an organic fuel which has an energy density of around 29 MJ/kg with a minimum overall efficiency of only 3.5%, this device would surpass the
Exotic animal and plant species introduced into the Australian continent often imparted catastrophic effects on the indigenous fauna and flora. Proponents of biological control introduced the South American Cane Toad (Bufo marinus) into the sugar cane fields of Queensland in 1935. The Cane Toad is one of the most toxic bufonids, and when seized by naive Australian predators, the toxin usually kill
In an interesting and thought-provoking paper recently published by the Economic History of Developing Regions, Johan Fourie and Leigh Gardner ask why relatively few papers from developing countries have been published in top-ranked economic history journals. They provide a number of tentative answers of which differences in academic traditions between regions seem to be an important one. In this
Previously the effect of atmospheric dispersion on telescope performance has attracted only relatively little attention. This may be due to the fact that the dispersion effects have been evaluated in relation to the size of the diffraction limited resolution angle of current telescopes, or to seeing limited telescopes. However, since the resolution angle is inversely proportional to telescope diam
The aim of this paper is to examine what meanings “age” was given when Swedish psychiatric institutions were defining, categorising and caring for their patients from 1850 to 1970. The paper focuses on institutional psychiatry’s perspectives on individuals of advanced age and on the way that these individuals were understood in terms directly or indirectly associated with age. The majority of aged
Popular Abstract in Swedish Studien avser medicinsk problemlösning i sitt organisatoriska sammanhang i den svenska sjukvårdsorganisationen. Det huvudsakliga syftet är att visa hur olika typer av medicinsk problemlösning påverkas av organisationsstrukturen. För att åstadkomma detta utvecklas en typologi för medicinska problemlösningsprocesser huvudsakligen baserad på skillnader i den medicinska tekThis study is about medical problem-solving within its organisational context, the Swedish health-care organisation. The main purpose is to demonstrate how different types of medical problem-solving are affected by the structure of the health-care organisation. This involves the construction of a typology of medical problem-solving processes, and it is argued that the main characteristics of these
Methods currently used for surface display on insect cells and budded baculovirus, all utilize the sequences from class I transmembrane proteins. This gives rise to some problems when handling unknown genes or cDNAs encoding full-length proteins. First, the stop codon from the cloned gene will be located upstream of the sequence for the transmembrane region. Second, the chance of getting the seque
On the same stage is a case study showing the co-operation between amateurs and professionals in a play called Bara tusen korta år (Just a Thousand Short Years) by Alf Henrikson (1905-1995). Performances were given in the summers of 1994 ? 1998 in Huskvarna. The amateurs were from Huskvarna while the professionals were employed by the regional theatre in Jönköping. When investigating this project
We investigated changes of postural responses to repeated bipolar galvanic vestibular stimulation on 5 consecutive days and once again after 3 months. Subjects consisted of 21 healthy volunteers. Except for the first day did the induced torque variance in response to galvanic vestibular stimulation not decrease {within} each test session, but there was a major reduction {from day to day} (p< 0.001
