Den här guiden ger lokala politiker och tjänstemän ett processorienterat verktyg för att stärka förankringen (integrationen) av klimatanpassning i relevanta sektorer av kommunal verksamhet, med syftet att främja en hållbar stadsutveckling. Den kan därför ses som ett instrument för att vägleda en integrationsprocess. Guiden presenterar systematiskt de nivåer och områden där förankring av klimatanpaThis guideline offers local government officers and local politicians process-oriented assistance for integrating climate change adaptation within relevant sectors of municipal administration with the aim of fostering sustainable urban development. It is thus an instrument to support leadership of this integration process. The levels and areas where integration of climate change adaptation is rele

This article reports model experiments where vocal tract profiles of high and mid unrounded front and high rounded back vowels were systematically modified to simulate small constriction shifts along the hard or soft palate, in order to test A. M. Bell's century-old proposal that small shifts of tongue arch fronting or retraction would yield audible shifts of vowel timbre. Such differences were cl

The Nordic countries Norway, Sweden, Finland and Denmark have formed a deregulated power market. Electricity bought and sold on this market is dominated by hydro power. However, hydro power generation is restricted by the amount of water in reservoirs. The inflow to these reservoirs shows a yearly cycle and seasonal planning of the production is necessary. Seasonal planning for a fictive power pr

It is well-known that the radio wave propagation mechanisms inside a tunnel are different from the typical outdoor and indoor situations. Since the tunnels represent a significant type of vehicular environments, understanding the channel characteristics for the in-tunnel scenario is crucial for intelligent transport systems design. A widely used tool for simulating channel characteristics for outd

Visstidsanställningar har en viktig roll i strävan efter ökad flexibilitet men konsekvenserna av anställningsformens tillämpning och förekomst har länge varit omdebatterade. År 2007 inledde EU-kommissionen ett överträdelseärende efter det att TCO anmält Sverige för brister i implementeringen av visstidsdirektivet 1999/70/EG som bland annat syftar till att förhindra otillåten stapling av visstidsan

The study of the dynamic interaction between pantograph and catenary by computer simulation is useful as it allows us to obtain much information about this system while minimizing the cost of line tests. With a program validated by the norm EN 50318, the behaviour of a pantograph-catenary couple at a certain speed can be accurately estimated. With the program INPAC, a parametric study on the curre

Undersökning av cellens mekaniska reaktionsväg Cancer är ett existentiellt problem världen runt. Den kan uppstå i nästan vilken vävnad som helst och innebär att vissa celler börjar dela sig obehindrat. Dessutom kan tumörceller sprida sig till andra delar av kroppen och bilda så kallade metastaser. Ibland räcker det att lokalt ökad styvhet bidrar till cancercellernas metastasering och på det sätteCells can sense and respond to mechanical forces through a process called mechanotransduction. It is controlled by the mechanical cues, originated from the cell's microenvironment, and occurs via a complex, step-wise process. In this process, a cascade of events occurs, where the forces are essentially sensed by integrins and transmitted through filamentous actin (F-actin). The downstream even

När politikerna själva har ordet Denna studie undersöker vad som händer när den politiska kommunikationen förflyttas från de traditionella nyhetsmedierna till den politiska organisationen, och därmed inte är beroende av journalister och gatekeepers längre. Samt om en politisk organisation, genom sin Youtube-kanal, i själva verket kan göra anspråk på att likställas med traditionell journalistik. UtWhen the politicians have the floor This study examines what happens when political communication is shifted from the traditional news media to the political organization itself, and thus is no longer dependent on journalists and gatekeepers. As well as whether a political organization, through its YouTube channel, can in fact claim to be equivalent to traditional journalism. Based on previous res

As a result of the rapid population growth, the increasing economic interests and the global climate crisis, disputes over freshwater resources become more frequent and severe. Although many States pursue environmental cooperation to avoid or resolve water conflicts, such cooperation agreements often suffer from a weak political will to implement just cooperation mechanisms. This is particularly t

In response to the recent stagnation of global economic integration, a large part of world trade today transpires within the boundaries of regional trade agreements (RTAs). However, trade effects are heterogeneous both across and within RTAs - a phenomenon not fully understood. Since the end of the Cold War, researchers have studied the role of ethnic diversity in explaining low economic developme

Due to problems associated with the use of fossil fuels, new, sustainable methods are needed to synthesize biofuels and chemicals from readily available biomass. In this project, we report a method to quantitatively convert biomass derived chemicals into value-added chemicals and biofuels using hydrosilylation. Cost effective silanes, such as PMHS and TMDS, which are biproducts in silicone industr
