Denna kvalitativa studie har haft som syfte att förstå hur den globala kampanjen #metoo har påverkat intervjupersonerna och deras inställning till sexuella övergrepp. Avsikten med #metoo har varit att uppmärksamma omfattningen av kvinnors utsatthet för sexuella övergrepp. Tidigare undersökningar och statistik visar på ett stort mörkertal när det kommer till offer för sexuella övergrepp och det är
It has been previously shown that an increase in the relative value of tea increases female survival rate by enhancing their economic value. By combining contemporary district-level census data with historical data on tea production, in this paper I examine whether contemporary regional variations in gender disparities across India can be traced back to the tea production induced by the British Ea

Spridning av rök och brandgaser ar ett centralt brandsäkerhetsproblem. I det nationella svenska brandforskningsprogram som initierades i och med tillkomsten av BRANDFORSK 1979 underströks detta, bl a genom finansiering av ett relativt stort projekt, B4 "Spridning av rök och brandgaser i bostadshus". För den första forskningsperioden 1979-1981 förutsattes projektet B4 omfatta tre delar: sammanställ
Abstract in French Cet article décrit certains des dénominateurs communs de la fiction criminelle nordique : des caractéristiques allant au-delà du cadre géographique, qui sont partagées par une majorité de la fiction incluse dans des concepts tels que Nordic Noir ou Scandicrime, et qui semblent rendre cette fiction particulièrement attrayante vis-à-vis des lecteurs internationaux. Cinq de ces facThis article outlines some of the common denominators of Nordic crime fiction: characteristics beyond the geographical setting, which are shared by a majority of the fiction included in concepts like Nordic Noir or Scandicrime, and which seem to make this fiction especially attractive to international readers. Five such factors are found to be of particular importance: 1) The Stieg Larsson effect,
I rapporten redogörs för ett fältförsök med renovering av krypgrundläggning för småhus. För detta ändamål studerades sju likadana hus i samma kvarter under tre år. Fem hus försågs med markisolering i efterhand efter det att underkanten på bjälklaget i krypgrunden hade behandlats med borsyra. En annan förberedande åtgärd var att byta ut en på marken befintlig byggplastfolie mot fiberduk. Ett hus ha
Syftet med detta arbete är att undersöka efterlevnaden av lagen gällande märkning av importerade färdigförpackade livsmedel hos livsmedelsbutiker i Malmö. 20 butiker studerades.

This research paper focuses on historical, arithmetic equity market risk premium in emerging and frontier markets. Equity market risk premium, as we know it today, has been easily estimated in developed markets; whereas, emerging and frontier markets often require different approaches to determine an appropriate equity market risk premium. I make use of a variety of methods, including volatility a
In Sweden, the pedagogical training of doctoral students varies significantly across universities. While most institutions include at least one mandatory course in higher education teaching and learning, some programs lack this requirement entirely. Whether doctoral students are encouraged or even allowed to take multiple pedagogical courses also varies greatly.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen behandlar kapacitet i cirkulationsplatser. Kapaciteten för ett körfält i en tillfart kan beräknas med teorin för kritiska tidsavstånd. Denna bygger på interaktioner mellan fordon med företräde (överordnade fordon) och fordon som skall lämna företräde (underordnade fordon). Det kritiska tidsavståndet är det minsta tidsavstånd mellan två överordnade fordon soProblem: The thesis deals with the capacity of two-lane roundabouts and with vehicle-vehicle interactions there. Method: The interactions and the corresponding capacity are modelled by gap-acceptance theory. Various components of this theory are discussed, models for headways in the multi-lane case and for the estimation of critical gaps for the two major streams being developed and being applied
There is a vivid interest in so-called epimilitary narratives of war that depart from heroic themes and zoom out from the armed forces. This article joins this direction by analyzing two variants of cultural narratives of the war in Bosnia-Hercegovina during the 1990s and the siege of Sarajevo: the videogame This War of Mine and Bosnian citizens’ personal stories told in qualitative interviews.
