Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen behandlar metoder för att kunna beräkna den last en struktur kan bära. En struktur kan i detta sammanhang vara allt från en bro till en mjölkkartong. För att kunna göra en korrekt bedömning av den lastbärande förmågan måste hänsyn tas till olinjära effekter som härrör från stora deformationer. Sådana olinjära effekter kan orsaka instabilt beteende hos en st

With the current movement towards Net Zero Energy Buildings (Net ZEBs) decisions regarding energy carrier weighting factors will have implications on which technologies could be favoured or disfavoured, and therefore adopted or not adopted, in the building sector of the near future. These implications should be taken into consideration by policy makers when developing legislation and regulations a

The purpose of this report is to compare different heating devices for future apartment blocks. The compared heating devices were district heating, geothermal heating, pellets heating and pellets heating combined with solar heating. The two main elements in the report compare the different alternatives with regards to their environmental impact and their lifecycle cost. The heating devices are als

Neurotoxic metabolites generated from tryptophan metabolism are increasingly regarded as a pathogenic mechanism in neurological and psychiatric disease including Huntington’s disease (HD). Specifically, the tryptophan-derived neurotoxin 3-hydroxykynurenine (3-HK) accumulates in HD brain and is capable of damaging neurons through excessive ROS-production and oxidative stress. The protein A1M, alpha

Climate change has affected the extreme weather throughout the world. Studies have shown an increase of the extreme precipitation in Gothenburg, Sweden. At the same time, space limitations and cost considerations prevent the development of an optimized drainage system. Designing a stormwater system for an extreme rainfall is impossible due the high cost. In addition, the lack of space limits the a

Background: SCOR is a worldwide accepted and renowned process reference model that is developed and endorsed by the non-profit organization Supply Chain Council. It’s a cross-industry diagnostic tool for supply chain management. Consafe Logistics wanted to know if a performance measurement system for warehouse activities could be developed based on the SCOR model, and how it could be applied in th

A growing body of evidence suggests that speech recognition is facilitated by rapid activation of possible lexical candidates and subsequent competition and selection. An event-related potential (ERP) component 136-204 ms after word onset, the pre-activation negativity (PrAN), correlates with lexical competition. Further, the increased negativity for low lexical competition correlates with increas

I Europa påverkas cirka 600 000 personer, inklusive barn, av statslöshet. Även om UNHCR:s #IBelong-kampanj har uppmärksammat frågan och satt ett tydligt mål att statslösheten ska upphöra till 2024, råder det fortfarande tvivelaktigheter kring vilken stat som är ansvarig för att bevilja statslösa barn medborgarskap. Konsekvensen av detta blir en ökad statslöshet bland unga där ingen stat står ansvaIn Europe, about 600 000 individuals, including children, are affected by statelessness today. Although the UNHCR #IBelong Campaign has shed light on the issue and set the goal of ending statelessness by 2024, there is still a lack of understanding as to which State is responsible for granting nationality to stateless children. This leads to the fundamental consequence of stateless-ness, where no

Sammanfattning: Ett informationssystem är i grund och botten ett sätt att lagra och bearbeta information. Alla sådana system bygger på en informationsmodell, det vill säga en modell för hur data organiseras för att de ska gå att bearbeta och omvandla till information. Idag existerar avancerade informationssystem för att göra spatiala analyser (GIS) och för att hantera byggnader (BLM-system). För nSummary: An information system is basically a way to store and process information. All such systems are built from an information model, in essence a model for how to organize data in order to make it possible to process, thus turning it into information. Today there exist advanced information systems for performing spatial analysis (GIS) and to model buildings (BLM-systems). At present the devel

Manganese is a heavy metal that acts an essential micronutrient for plants and animals, as well as it is toxic in great amounts. Mn2+ is the form of manganese that is biologically available for plants and micro organisms living in soil. How much manganese a plant needs and tolerates varies greatly among different species. The amount of available manganese in soil also varies among different soil t

Syftet med förevarande framställning är att utifrån en komparativ studie av svensk och australiensisk rätt beskriva och jämföra hur respektive land reglerar barnets bästa i vårdnadsmål. Både i svensk och i australiensisk rätt förekommer begreppet barnets bästa och i båda länderna görs en in casu bedömning vid bestämmandet av vad som är bäst för barnet. Utformningen av lagstiftningen skiljer sig eThe purpose of this essay is that of describing and comparing the Swedish regulation of the concept the best interests of the child in cases concerning legal custody with the Australian regulation of the same concept in cases concerning parental responsibility. Both Sweden and Australia have a legislation that regulates the best interests of the child and in both countries the decision of what is
