In this article some initial results from the projects "Bronsildems deglar" (en. "Bronze Age melting crucibles") and "Deglarna frin Bokenäs" (en. "The crucibles from Bokenäs") are presented. The aim of the projects is to expand our knowledge of the production, use and discard of technical ceramics in south Sweden using laboratory analysis.

Business travel contributes to significant greenhouse gas emissions, and there is a need for measures that reduce the demand for trips made with energy-intensive means of transport. In this study, a mobility service application (MSA) introduced in 13 Swedish organisations was tested and evaluated to facilitate booking and handling of business trips, in particular public transport. A before and aft

We present a three-year multidisciplinary research project that started in 2019 and is funded by FORTE (Swedish Research Council for Health, Working Life and Welfare). The theoretical aim of the project is to gain a better understanding of the principles that underlie successful communication between the sighted and the blind via audio description (AD). The aim of a series of experiments is to ide

Under the influence of neo-liberal ideals such as New Public Management, the ownership, operation, and maintenance of many Critical Infrastructures have been divided among an increasing number of public as well as private actors. Limited research has investigated the role of this institutional fragmentation for shaping resilience of Critical Infrastructures, especially in relation to recovery afte

Genetic correlations for a trait across environments are predicted to decrease as environments diverge. However, estimates of genetic correlations from natural populations are typically defined across a limited environmental range and prone to very large standard errors, making it difficult to test this prediction. We address the importance of environmental distance on genetic correlations by empl

The oxidative addition of iodine to Pt(CN)42− is first-order with respect to iodide, iodine and complex. The reverse reductive elimination of iodide from trans-Pt(CN)4I22- is first-order with respect to iodide and Pt(CN)4I22−. The kinetics for the reaction between bromide and trans-Pt(CN)4ClH2O2− involves a rate-determining reductive elimination of chloride, followed by a rapid oxidative addition

Popular Abstract in English A central requirement in the design of bridge, or any structure, is that they are safe and do not fail unexpectedly. To ensure that such occurrences are acceptably rare involves predicting the various ways in which the bridge can fail and ensuring that provisions are made to prevent or control these potential failure. In other words, the risks associated with failure shEngineering design, in concise terms, is what engineers do using what they know. It is the underlying decision making activity that determines what is to be built and how it should be built. An ever present requirement in engineering design is that the structure should be safe. While historical approaches to safety in design relied on experience and engineering judgment, modern approaches have rat

Popular Abstract in English It is hard to imagine present day’s lifestyle without the use of modern technologies as prevalent in sectors including bioscience & technology and the semiconductor & chemical industries. In technological advances of biosensors, catalysis, and microelectronics, the surface modification of materials (which includes modification of the wetting, structural, electriThe research work described in this thesis is concerned with the modification of oxide surfaces, as reflected by its title. The surfaces and their modification have been studied using a range of experimental surface characterization tools, in particular x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), fluorescence microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and scanning tunneling mic

While previous research has primarily focused on the sources and causes shaping attitudes towards artificial intelligence and autonomous vehicles, this research attempts to shed light on the communication efforts employed by autonomous vehicle companies. Using qualitative content analysis of the website material from three distinct SAE level 5 autonomous vehicle organizations, the study aims to ac

This study aims to examine outreach workers’ view of developing trust through communication with young adults living in exposed areas. I seek an understanding of how outreach workers justify and excuse the development of trust and mistrust in the interaction with young adults. The empirical data consists of five semi-structured telephone-interviews with outreach workers who are active in five diff

Popular Abstract in Swedish Städer har kommit att framstå som alltmer drivande i arbetet med att ställa om till ett ekologiskt hållbart samhälle. Utöver att genomföra statliga direktiv eller fokusera på klassiskt kommunala uppgifter som fysisk planering eller renhållning, har kommunala politiker och tjänstemän alltmer kommit att driva en egen miljöpolitik på lokal nivå. Ett exempel är energi- och Local governments are increasingly taking the initiative in environmental governance. But can they make any difference in addressing current environmental challenges, which are becoming more and more global in scope? This PhD thesis explores and analyses the outcomes of proactive initiatives in the field of building energy efficiency, and the governance approaches taken. It addresses outcomes both

The company Victoria Milan provides an online dating service aimed at persons who are already within a committed relationship. Their marketing campaign and their slogan make your life more living, have an affair! has led to a record in amount of complaints from the public to the Swedish advertising ombudsman. Our purpose was to explore how the rhetorical construction of infidelity is characterized
