This thesis explores how the heterotopic and liminal dimensions of Munich’s Oktoberfest produced differentiated visitor experiences, and how spatial, temporal, ritual, and social dynamics mediate feelings of authenticity, communitas, and belonging across visitor types. Adopting an interpretivist, social constructionist approach, the thesis combines semi-structured interviews with 15 participants a

The use of moment-connections with dowel-type connectors and slotted-in steel plates is becoming an increasingly used solution in mid- to high-rise timber structures. In this paper, the moment capacity and rotational stiffness of such moment connections have been studied through a limited experimental campaign with specimens climatised between 30% and 95% relative humidity (RH). The test specimens

Extensive utilisation of logging residues, straw, and energy crops will lead to short transportation distances and thus low transportation costs. The average distance of transportation of biomass to a large-scale conversion plant, suitable for electricity or methanol production using 300 000 dry tonne biomass yearly, will be about 30 km in Sweden, if the conversion plant is located at the centre o

Violence is a central part of criminality with young men overrepresented in assault relates violence, both as perpetrator and victim. Our aim of this study was to get a picture of what attitudes ordinary young men have toward masculinity and manliness as well of violence and how these attitudes relate to their picture of the young man as a victim. The empirical material was qualitatively collected

The purpose of this paper was to listen to juvenile criminals about there experience of the social service secretary, the sentence and the correctional system. The questions I wanted an answer to was: how did the youngster experience the contact with the soical service? What did they think of the sentence and the measure from the social service? Did they have any significant others who could helpe

Chemically enhanced primary treatment (CEPT) followed by microsieving and direct membrane filtration (DMF) as ultrafiltration, was evaluated on pilot scale at a municipal wastewater treatment plant. In addition, a granular activated carbon (GAC) filter downstream of DMF was evaluated for the removal of organic micropollutants. Up to 80% of the total organic carbon (TOC) and 96% of the total phosph

The polymer electrolyte fuel cells are electrochemical devices that can produce electricity, water, and heat through chemical reactions of hydrogen and oxygen. This manuscript focuses on one detailed state of degradation, called as Membrane Chemical Stability and Metrics. The Accelerated Stress Test under study was standardized by the Department of Energy. Recent advancements in the study of degra
