In the global market of air transport, integration of products and services is now seen as being necessary for the long-term success of engine manufacturers. This paper describes research stimulated by a fundamental shift that is occurring in the manufacture and marketing of aero engines for commercial and defence purposes, away from the selling of products to the provision of services. Our collab

Mellan åren 1955 och 1957 utförde Märta Strömberg (sedermera professor i arkeologi) och Rolf Petré (som senare blev fil. lic. i arkeologi) arkeologiska undersökningar av Vätterydsgravfältet i norra Mellby socken (L1990:1893 / Norra Mellby 1:1) ...

This book proposes the study of norms as a method of explaining human choice and behaviour by introducing a new scientific perspective.The science of norms may here be broadly understood as a social science which includes elements from both the behavioural and legal sciences. It is given that a science of norms is not normative in the sense of prescribing what is right or wrong in various situatio

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: En verksamhet eller åtgärd kan ha stor inverkan på människor, djur, växter, mark, vatten, luft, klimat, landskap och kulturmiljö. För att fatta bästa möjliga beslut om en projekt-ut-formning som tar hänsyn till konsekvenserna för olika berörda miljövärden åter-finns kravet på miljökonsekvensbeskrivning, MKB, i svensk lagstiftning. Syftet med en MKB är att identiAn activity or a measure might have a great impact on people, animals, plants, soil, water, air, climate and landscape. In order to describe the direct and indirect effects an intended activity might have an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) must be carried out. This demand is regulated in Swedish legislation and makes it possible to achieve as small impact on the environment as practicable. A

Abstract Today it is very common that some person register a domain name that is identical or confusingly similar to a hallmark that is someone’s protected property. From the owners opinion this can result in a lost of company’s goodwill and there is risk that hallmark becomes powerless. Every physical and legal person can register someone’s protected hallmark as a domain name under top – level do

Emergency responders at the local community level are the prime actors concerning emergency management. It has been claimed that information systems have considerable potential to support emergency management. However, development of such systems is demanding, due to the complexity of emergency management. The ability to be able to reveal the stakeholders' needs for support are essential for succe

The present study aims to describe accelerometer-assessed physical activity (PA) patterns and fulfillment of PA recommendations in a large sample of middle-aged men and women, and to study differences between subgroups of socio-demographic, socio-economic, and lifestyle-related variables. A total of 27 890 (92.5% of total participants, 52% women, aged 50–64 years) middle-aged men and women with at

The transdisciplinary fields of design and feminist technoscience share a common interest in focusing on the world in a state of always becoming, always changing. Within feminist technoscience, norm-critical perspectives are implemented to shed light on unequal sociotechnical infrastructures. Within design research, generative methods of critical design and design fiction encourage processes of fi

Projektet Stafetten har studerat miljömål på nationell, regional och lokal nivå,deras roll för transportplaneringen, och vad som kan göras för att målen skafå större genomslag. De senaste två omgångarna av nationell transportplanstuderades med hjälp av litteraturstudier och intervjuer. Fallstudier gjordesav regional transportplanering och kommunal samhällsplanering på motsvarande sätt. Detta mater

A new European Union policy could increase the supply of legitimate pharmaceuticals in developing countries and thereby minimize the problem of counterfeit medicines, but many challenges remain. This paper describes the proposed European legislation and discusses its' potential strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. Ultimately, we consider if the United States should consider similar po

A brief period of sublethal cerebral ischemia, followed by several days of recovery, renders the brain resistant to a subsequent lethal ischemic insult, a phenomenon termed ischemic preconditioning or tolerance. Ischemic tolerance was established in the rat two-vessel occlusion model of ischemia, induced by occlusion of both carotid arteries in combination with hypotension. Ischemic preconditionin

A short period of sublethal preconditioning ischemia (3 min) followed by two days of reperfusion provides almost complete protection against ischemic cell death induced by a second (9 min) lethal ischemic episode. Here, we have investigated the extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase kinase and extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase, two kinases known to activate gene transcription an

The protective effect of the α2-receptor antagonist idazoxan against neuronal damage in the neocortex and in the hippocampal CA1 region was studied in rats exposed to 10 min of incomplete forebrain ischemia. When administered i.v. immediately after ischemia (0.1 mg/kg) and subsequently for 6 h (10 μg/kg/min), idazoxan significantly reduced neuronal damage in the hippocampus (from 84 to 26%) and in

The subgrade is the top surface of a roadbed upon which the pavement structure is constructed. The purpose is to provide a platform for construction of the pavement and to support the pavement without unwanted deflection that would reduce its performance. For those reasons subgrade bearing capacity have to be investigate during the construction process as a quality control, based on the design res
