The recommendation is based on the co-authors’ work organized by the RILEM TC 256-SPF “Spalling of concrete due to fire: testing and modelling”. It aims to provide useful information, guidance and best practices in fire spalling assessment to laboratories that perform large-scale tests based on fire resistance test standards. It provides guidance on the spalling observation techniques during testi
Popular Abstract in Swedish Balans i vardagens sysslor - en förutsättning för kvinnors hälsa. Psykisk sjukdom och stress anges ofta som orsak till längre sjukskrivning och drabbar kvinnor till övervägande del. Majoriteten av Sveriges kvinnor är idag yrkesarbetande, de tar större ansvar för hem och familj, de arbetar oftare deltid, tar oftare ut ledighet för vård av sjuka barn och utför 65 % mer hThis thesis investigated the concept of balance in daily occupations. The overarching aim was to explore women’s patterns of everyday occupations and to investigate relationships between different aspects of patterns of daily occupations and health and well-being. The participants were working, cohabitant women with pre-school children. The methods used focused on exploring patterns of daily occup
Popular Abstract in Swedish Mot en sammanhållen och hållbar biomassapolitik: En studie av europeisk biomassa-för-energi-planering Biomassa används för många ändamål. När den används som biobränsle för att producera energi utgör den en förnybar energikälla med många fördelar, bl. a. i form av minskade utsläpp av växthusgaser och en ökad trygghet i energiförsörjningen. Men biomassa är även en råvaCoordination of policies embracing biomass use has been called for in order to speed up progress towards the European Union renewable energy and climate change goals. Policy coordination and coherence is also required if the many complex and diverse issues constraining sustainable bioenergy development are to be addressed. To contribute to meeting such needs this doctoral thesis provides insights
Despite that transports contribute to around a quarter of all global energy-related CO2 emissions, the question of how the sector’s emissions are best reduced remains unclear. To fill this gap, this thesis investigates what both academia and the Swedish Climate Policy Council recommend to be the best ways of reducing transport emissions. These findings are then compared with the mobility strategie
This thesis investigates climate blame amongst a local population in the Northern Andes, Peru, and relates it to arguments on climate liability in German courtrooms. It does so on the backdrop of a climate lawsuit, which in 2017 was accepted by the Higher Regional Court in Hamm, Germany, filed by a Peruvian farmer against a German coal- and electricity company. Based on epistemological standpoints
IKEA Industry has ambitious goals for increasing energy efficiency at the production sites. Energy monitoring systems are therefore an important tool towards fulfilling those goals. The purpose of this master thesis is to get an overview and map the current situation at the production sites. Furthermore, the aim is to give recommendations and produce methods that can help organise the energy work.
Prostitution, a policy issue outside of European Union (EU) competence, has in recent years made its way onto the agenda of the European Parliament (EP). In 2014, the resolution on sexual exploitation and prostitution and its impact on gender equality was published in which the EP stated that prostitution is incompatible with human rights. However, the other EU institutions remain reluctant to men
It has been almost 20 years since inclusive education was first implemented in Indonesia; however, based on the previous studies, the realities surrounding inclusive education strategies remain disappointing as disabled students continue to face discrimination and segregation in school. By taking into account how inclusive education discourse is constituted within national documents and affects th
This thesis investigates how impact assessment can contribute to organisational learning and whether there are ways to enhance it. To answer these questions, the research takes a form of a qualitative case study carried out in collaboration with the non-profit organisation Reach for Change which represents a single case. The research data is drawn from two primary sources of evidence: organisation
Although considered to be one of the greatest achievements of the European integration process and continuously shown to be favoured by a majority of Europeans, the principle of Freedom of Movement (FOM), with an emphasis on Freedom of Movement of Persons (FOMOP) has been increasingly politicised over the past few years. In the light of reintroduced border controls in 2015, and a heightened debate
In order to stay globally competitive, the European Union is in the process of transforming into a data economy. Therefore, the European Commission has published its Strategy on Data in order to address this macro development. Further, the private sector directly affected by policies has its own strategy to address this issue. One particular initiative, GAIA-X, envisions a European federation of c
The aim of this master’s thesis is to increase knowledge about how Swedish research libraries work with special collections, in aspects of preservation and user availability. Currently there is no general regulation in Swedish law regarding special collections, which may cause inconsistency in the management of collections. In order to illustrate this problem, and investigate what commission resea
This thesis is a historical case study on the European integration between 2010-2012. The aim of the study is twofold. First it has a descriptive approach, focusing on the nature and extent of the integration. The second part is theory testing. By incorporating principal-agent theory in liberal intergovernmentalist theory and historical institutionalist theory I isolate their points on contention
The methods for assessing capability in the Swedish emergency management system are mainly based on resources. It is however questionable whether a method should be based only on available resources. The aim of the thesis was to examine if the old MSB method used to assess capability within the Swedish emergency management system can be improved by studying methods for capability assessment in the
This thesis investigates how freedom of speech is implemented in a Swedish library context, by examining what actions and practices the concept is translated into at the Dawit Isaak Library in Malmö, a library focused on freedom of speech and banned literature that opened at Malmö City Archive in 2020. The aim of the study is to illuminate and clarify discrepancies between the theoretical definiti
This thesis aims to investigate how individuals structure their life within a post-conflict precarious country. Bosnia consists of three autonomous regions called Federacija Bosne i Hercegovine, Republika Srpska and Brčko Distrikt BiH. Since the early nineties, Bosnia has experienced ongoing emigration, encompassing both diaspora and migration communities as evidenced by the 1991 and 2013 censuses
On June 15, 2020, the US Supreme Court held in Bostock v. Clayton County that discrimination against an individual because of this individual’s homosexuality and transgender status violated Title VII of the Civil Rights of 1964 which prohibited sex discrimination in employment. This landmark case symbolizes a victory for protecting LGBTQ workers under Title VII. However, existing studies have reve
Norge drabbas årligen av hundratals jordskred vilket leder till betydande ekonomisk skada och fara för liv. Därför bedriver norska myndigheter och forskningsinstitutioner omfattande forskning om jordskred och vidtar åtgärder för att övervaka, modellera och slutligen mildra konsekvenserna av och förebygga dessa. Som en del av sitt arbete underhåller norska vattenresurs- och energimyndigheten en natNorway experiences hundreds of landslides annually which leads to significant economic losses and poses a threat to human life. Therefore, Norwegian authorities and scientific institutions are conducting extensive research and take measures in the fields of documenting, modelling and ultimately mitigating and preventing landslides. As part of its work, the Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Dire
