During ascending evacuation in long stairs, there is reason to believe that factors such as fatigue, and change in human behaviour will influence the possibility of satisfactory evacuation and affect the ascending walking speed. Based on these assumption, a 2-year research project was initiated at Lund University. This paper gives a brief description of the project and highlight some initial findi

Surface force measurements, combined with ellipsometry, were performed on several colloidal liquid systems. We studied the forces between mica surfaces in presence of dilute aqueous solutions of ethylenediamine (divalent) and spermidine (trivalent) hydrochlorides. With increasing the diamine concentration the electrostatic repulsion is reduced and later it disappears completely. At equivalent tri

Den traditionella hierarkiska och funktionsorienterade organisationsformen räcker inte längre till för att tillmötesgå dagens och morgondagens krav och förväntningar. Konkurrensen blir allt hårdare, utvecklingen allt snabbare och anpassningsförmågan allt viktigare. Boken täcker alla de faser som ingår i en förändringsprocess, från arbetet med att skapa medvetande om problem och möjligheter, via id

Reducing poverty and social exclusion is one of the main challenges for ensuring social cohesion in Europe. The research project COPE – Combating Poverty in Europe: Re-organising Active Inclusion through Participatory and Integrated Modes of Multilevel Governance’ – analyses trends in poverty and social exclusion in Europe, and examines the dynamics of minimum income protection policies that poten

Popular Abstract in Swedish Mylonitzonen (MZ) är en kraftigt framträdande rörelsezon i den sydvästra Baltiska urbergskölden (sydvästra Skandinavien) som löper från Varberg i söder till trakterna av Eidsvol (Norge) i norr. Den sammanfogar urbergsblock av olika ålder och ursprung vilka även har skilda geologiska utvecklingshistorier. Öster om zonen, i det s.k. Östra Segmentet (ÖS; delar av Halland, The Mylonite zone (MZ) is a prominent late-Sveconorwegian lithological terrane boundary in the SW Baltic Shield along which large-scale crustal block movements took place during the Sveconorwegian orogeny. The southern section of the MZ also defines a conspicuous metamorphic break separating upper amphibolite and high-pressure granulite facies rocks in the parautochthonous Eastern Segment (ES), fr

The process of globalization encompasses economic and financial integration. The abolition of capital controls and the dismantling of barriers of different kinds will expose previously sheltered companies to shocks on the global economic arena. Policy-makers in already globalized countries have learned that market participants should be prepared in due time to meet the new exposure to fluctuating
