What does a sustainability project look like in the 21st century? Not the glossy version, but the naked truth? Tired of manicured, over-theorised accounts of the ‘musts’ and ‘shoulds’ of sustainability transitions, we got to the bottom of things; actually, to the very bottom of the project hierarchy: the individual. Our point of departure is that projects are nothing but temporarily interconnected
Breast tomosynthesis (BT) is an X-ray imaging technique recently introduced as an alternative or complement to standard digital mammography (DM) in breast imaging and breast cancer screening. In BT, a set of projection images is acquired over a limited angular range and reconstructed into a volume of slice images. The method includes many possible combinations of acquisition parameters that have t
Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen beskriver och analyserar hur människor som arbetar i ett företag som blir uppköpt upplever uppköpsprocessen. Författaren lyfter fram de många olika tolkningar och upplevelser som finns av uppköpet istället för att ge en homogen återgivning. Författaren hävdar att för att kunna förstå vad som händer i ett företag under en uppköpsprocess så måste man beakta dWhile the human side of mergers and acquisitions is increasingly focused in both research and practice, it still suffers from several forms of oversimplifications. This study addresses the problem of how various employees interpret objectives, corporate identity and other meanings associated with the post-acquisition process, and what roles these multiple interpretations play during this critical
Background: Eating disorders (ED) are severe psychiatric conditions, characterized by decreased quality of life and high mortality. However, only a minority of patients with ED seek care and very few receive treatment. Internet-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy (ICBT) has the potential to increase access to evidence-based treatments. Aims: The aims of the present study were to (1) develop and
In this paper we describe present work on multimodal prosody by means of simultaneous recordings of articulation and head movements. Earlier work has explored patterning, usage and machine-learning based detection of focal pitch accents, head beats and eyebrow beats through audiovisual recordings. Kinematic data obtained through articulography allows for more comparable and accurate measurements, In this paper we describe present work on multimodal prosody by means of simultaneous recordings of articulation and head movements.

This thesis is concerned with modeling of the cracking process in reinforced concrete due to imposed deformations. Cracking is investigated both at early ages, during hydration, and at mature age when the final properties of the concrete are reached. One of the most important material characteristics of the concrete at early ages, the Young’s modulus is determined by means of a dynamic method call
Bird flight behaviors have been an interesting topic for many years, among which researchers have focused mostly on detailed aerodynamics of flight and more general aspects such as migration strategies. The recent development of accelerometers which could be easily attached to animals has speeded up the investigation of animal movements. Different behaviors could be categorized, and energy consump
Piercing the corporate veil is the practice of disregarding the limited liability characteristic of a corporation in order to make its shareholders, either individuals or parent corporations, answer for the corporation's liabilities. In determining whether to apply corporate veil piercing, courts in the United States commonly employ the instrumentality theory, as well as the alter ego and iden
Today's housing needs promotes an increased number of housing constructions. This in turn means that it is interesting to find a construction method which provides shorter building time while the final result should be perceived attractive. Prefabricated components in the project offer a shorter building process and when they also are made of concrete it provides the opportunity for durable an
Uppsatsen handlar om en analys av debatten kring den svenska militära insatsen i Afghanistan året 2010 då tre svenska soldater respektive en afghansk tolk stupade samt flera andra svenska soldater skadades. Till följd av detta, uppstod debatten på Aftonbladet (AB) mellan Jan Guillou och Jan Eliasson, på Svenska Dagbladet (SvD) uppstod debatten mellan Maria-Pia Boëthius och Carl Bildt och på Dagens
When it comes to predicting biological outcomes, be they single adaptations, or whole ecosystem shifts, we have still to build many bridges in our understanding of how each level of life is connected. Though exceedingly complex, analysing communities is vital in comprehending how single species, or ecosystems, may fare in this changing world. This study aims to answer questions about plant-pollina
Optimising plant growth in a controlled climate requires good measurements of both biomass (measured in grams) and relative growth rate (measured in grams of growth per day and gram of plant). In order to do this efficiently and continuously on an individual level during plant development, this has to be done non-destructively and without frequent and labor intensive weighing of plant biomass. Thi
Quick clay has a major impact on landslide risk and it is therefore of considerable interest to map its presence and extent. In Sweden, quick clay has been involved in most landslides in soft clay with serious consequences. The predominant method for detection of quick clay in Sweden has been to take undisturbed samples and to perform fall-cone tests on the clay in its undisturbed and remoulded st
The meaning of the doctrine of equal value is that balance must exist between the performances of the contracting parties. The doctrine can be divided into two parts, the original imbalance and imbalance that has arisen. The original imbalance means that the imbalance already existed when the contract was concluded. Instead, imbalance that has arisen means that the imbalance arose after the contra
The thesis describes the development of a dynamic model of a microturbine system. The thesis is done in close cooperation with Turbec AB and the model is adjusted, tuned and verified against their microturbine T100. The microturbine unit consists of a compressor and a turbine connected on a single shaft to a high-speed generator. Moreover there is a combustion chamber, a recuperator and a gas/w
Fastighetsbolag på den svenska aktiemarknaden har under en lång tid varit mycket lönsamma och en god investering för aktieinvesterare. Syftet med denna undersökning är att avgöra och definiera vilka strategier svenska börsnoterade fastighetsbolag använder sig av, samt hur dessa val av strategier påverkar ett fastighetsbolags värdeutveckling på börsen. Ytterligare skall undersökningen ta reda på hu
Plastics for everyday use are made from fossile resources. With the demand for plastics increasing every year, a sustainable development for plastic products is a growing challenge. A major issue is the depletion of the non-renewable fossile resources, which means that sooner or later alternatives to the conventional plastics are needed. With this problem in mind, this work focuses on the developm
The purpose with this paper is to illuminate a strategy that successfully helps individuals to reconstruct their ability to work and take them out of a condition of burnout. I have chosen to describe the way out of illness, from the individuals stricken with illness’ point of view. The common treatment for the burnout syndrome is often focusing on the interaction in the place of work. The research
Paul the Apostle was a very diligent man in many things. Both before his conversion and afterwards he did not cease to work towards his goals; before the conversion eagerly tracking the people believing in Jesus and after his conversion travelling as a missionary, founding churches, writing letters, pursuing his primary target spreading the Gospel. At the same time, he also upheld a regular job. H
