Banverket äger och förvaltar ett stort antal tunnlar samtidigt som planering och byggande pågår för ett flertal tunnlar. Syftet med föreliggande arbete är att öka kunskapen och på sikt förbättra och förenkla processen angående personsäkerhet i tunnlar. Rapporten beskriver det inventeringsarbete som utförts med avseende på både befintliga och nya tunnlar med fokus på personsäkerhet...
The purpose of the thesis is to increase understanding of the impact of financial institutions on regional growth. It helps to develop established concepts and perceptions on the impact of financial institutions on economic development in less well-functioning regions. Agglomeration theory is based on a general assumption of a reduced likelihood of economic cooperation through increased geographi
This study aims to increase the knowledge and understanding regarding the situation for undocumented immigrants in the Scandinavian welfare states, mainly from a Swedish perspective, but the situation in Denmark is also included in the discussion. Sweden and Denmark position themselves at the opposite sides of the spectrum regarding immigration policies within the European Union; Swedish immigrati
On a software development project many people collaborate to build a product contributing different pieces of the final product. Often people on a development team will work in parallel, either on different parts or on the same parts of the product, and follow processes to co-ordinate their work with other people on the team. When teams are distributed this co-ordination becomes more difficult sin
Popular Abstract in Swedish Pelagiska bakterier använder löst organiskt material som kol- och energikälla. Det lösta materialet kan ha sitt ursprung i intern (autokton) eller terrester (allokton) primärproduktion. Den här avhandlingen handlar om hur bakterier använder autoktont och alloktont producerat kol. Dessutom undersöker jag om det finns en koppling mellan kolkällans ursprung och strukturen Organic substrates for pelagic bacteria are derived from dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in the water column that originates either from primary production from within the lake itself (autochthonous), or import of organic matter from the terrestrial watershed (allochthonous production). This thesis addresses the utilization of allochthonous versus autochthonous carbon (C) sources by lake bacteriopl
The liberty of religion is not easy to define or regulate. It is closely connected to other liberties and rights. Starting from individual liberty, the consequence will be a right to religion or from religion, the right to change religion or confession, and the right to transition from religion to no religion, or from no religion to religion. It is obvious that the state, the religious denominatio
Tasquinimod (a quinoline-3-carboxyamide) is a small molecule immunotherapy with demonstrated effects on the tumor microenvironment (TME) involving immunomodulation, anti-angiogenesis and inhibition of metastasis. A target molecule of tasquinimod is the inflammatory protein S100A9 which has been shown to affect the accumulation and function of suppressive myeloid cell subsets in tumors. Given the m
Syftet med uppsatsen är att ta reda på under vilka förutsättningar som bemanning kan vara ett kringgående av företrädesrätten till återanställning och vilka rättsliga möjligheter som finns för att bemöta problematiken. Bemanningsföretag blev tillåtna för att tillföra flexibilitet nödvändig för svenska företag att klara tuffare konkurrensvillkor. Sedan tillåtandet har dock inhyrning, som sker när u
Syftet med föreliggande studie är att evaluera patienters erfarenheter av att ha genomgått Dialektisk beteendeterapi (DBT) vid en specia-listmottagning inom vuxenpsykiatrin. Dialektisk beteendeterapi för borderline personlighetsstörning, utvecklad av Marsha Linehan är speciellt utformad för klinisk behandling av kroniskt suicidala patien-ter med borderline personlighetstörning. Forskning kring DiaThe purpose of this study was to evaluate patients´ experiences of being subjected to Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) in a specialized out-patient psychiatry unit in a South Swedish town. DBT, developed by Marsha Linehan, is specifically designed for clinical treatment of chronically suicidal patients with borderline personality disorder. Re-search on dialectical behavior therapy, its design an
This paper describes a radio-tracking study of Osmoderma eremita, a large Scarabaeid beetle, living in hollow trees. The study seems to be the first in which radio telemetry has been used with a flying insect in the field. Some 74 adult beetles were tagged with radio transmitters weighing 0.48-0.52 1, and having a nominal battery life of 12-20 days. Transmissions were detected at ranges of up to 3
Education is the foundation for achieving sustainable development. The United Nations Decade of Education for Sustainable Development declared from January 2005 to December 2014 demands a concerted effort to expand environmental education around the world. The Young Masters Program is an international education course, which utilises the internet to connect students, teachers, and tutors in differ
Our ever-changing world has to a great extent created a need of efficient financial risk-management programs for financial institutions and corporations operating in a demanding international environment. These changes have however also increased the types of financial tools and derivatives used to handle the multifold macroeconomic exposures. Companies have therefore diversified opportunities to
Purpose - H2O, CO2 and CO are three main species in combustion systems which have high volume fractions. In addition, soot has strong absorption in the infrared band. Thus, H2O, CO2, CO and soot may take important roles in radiative heat transfer. To provide calculations with high accuracy, all of the participating media should be considered non-gray media. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to st
A sorption isotherm expresses the relation between ambient relative humidity (RH) and equilibrium moisture content of a material for a specific temperature. The sorption isotherm can generally be divided into a hygroscopic part covering low, medium and high RH levels, and an over-hygroscopic part close to 100% RH. For wood, the hygroscopic part is dominated by water uptake in cell walls and the ov
