Experimental data on single file pedestrian movement has been analysed and implemented in a prototype movement model. The prototype model is developed to predict movement of persons based on a first principle approach using basic population data such as age, height, gender and response time to adapt the walking speed in a crowd. The experimental data provide the biomechanical information needed inExperimental data on single file pedestrian movement has been analysed andimplemented in a prototype movement model.

This paper situates political assassinations by Western states in the global south in a wider discussion concerning decolonization and the progressivist narrative of international law. The paper looks at three generations of such assassinations, focusing on the international legal environments in which they took place and setting the parameters for both legitimation and opposition: the mid-twentieThis paper situates political assassinations by Western states in the global south in a wider discussion concerning decolonization and the progressivist narrative of international law.

A vertical temperature stratification normally exists in rooms during the heat-ing season in cold climates. An expression of the gradient in apartments heated by hydronic radiator heating systems with exhaust ventilation has ear-lier been developed assuming a dependency of the outdoor temperature. The expression was used by a public real estate owner when re-calculating meas-ured indoor temperaturA vertical temperature stratification normally exists in rooms during the heat-ing season in cold climates.

In this article, we explore the importance of feedback on students’ literature essays and challenges in encouraging active and transformational engagement with such feedback. In addition to standard practice of student-centred peer review coupled with feedback from teachers, our model consists of a scaffolded pair of reflection tasks that students are required to complete. Based on a study of 245 This article explores ways of encouraging student engagement with feedback on literature essays. In addition to standard practice of student-centred peer review coupled with feedback from teachers, we have developed a scaffolded pair of reflection tasks on an introductory-level English literature course. With a focus on our two-step model for student self-reflection, this article highlights some c

Sixty-four patients with active distal ulcerative colitis participated in a multicentre, randomized, investigator-blind trial to compare the effect of budesonide enema, 2 mg/100 ml, with prednisolone disodium phosphate enema, 31.25 mg/100 ml. Budesonide is a new potent corticosteroid with a rapid first-pass elimination. The patients were treated for 4 weeks, and the efficacy of the drugs were eval

Sound and radio can be used to estimate the distance between a transmitter and a sender by correlating the emitted and received signal. Alternatively by correlating two received signals it is possible to estimate distance difference. Such methods can be divided into methods that are robust to noise and reverberation, but give limited precision and sub-sample refinements that are sensitive to noiseSound and radio can be used to estimate the distance between a transmitter and a sender by correlating the emitted and received signal.

Little is known about how gendered understandings of patients can inform professionals’ discretionary actions and decisions to include or exclude in clinical practice. Using Connell's poststructuralist perspectives on gender as an analytic framework, this article aims to investigate how professionals’ articulations of depression are framed by signs of masculinity and femininity, and how these artiLittle is known about how gendered understandings of patients can inform professionals’ discretionary actions and decisions to include or exclude in clinical practice.

The elastic singular fields for a crack perpendicular to and with its tip at the interface between two isotropic elastic solids with different elastic moduli are given. The asymptotic crack tip fields for are obtained cases where either both materials yield perfectly plastically or one material remains elastic. By using the singular elastic field as a prescribed load, small scale yielding solution

Due to their potential environmental risk, the abatement of organic micropollutants from wastewater has gained increasing attention in recent years. This thesis evaluates the use of ozone in Swedish wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and the incentives for full-scale implementation of organic micropollutant removal.This work is divided into two sections: the first segment comprises quantitative r

I started playing guitar when I was 16 years old, and I learned to play on my own. I still play the guitar but I have a long way to go before I am fully learned. When the video-game Guitar Hero hit the shelves, I and my friends were fast to pick it up. We spent hours and hours with this game, and eventually we got really skilled at this game. But it was just that. A game. What if there was a way

University spinoffs play a significant role in transferring knowledge to society. This research explores and evaluates the creation of a university spinoff within Lund University setting by applying Bhave’s new venture creation process with an aim of revealing aspects that lead to spinoff creation that can be related to this specific model. The study reveals that the evolution of university based

Green entrepreneurship – technological eco–innovations and ecopreneurs’ acts – has recently received much attention from European policymakers as one promising response to the challenges of sustainable economic development due to its potential to catalyze and build a low–carbon or green economy. This topical relationship between green entrepreneurship and sustainable economy has also gained increa

This essay studies the relationship between institutional transparency and political trust. The study focuses on 27 countries in Europe. The existing theory regarding the relationship emphasizes different views. Some theorists claim that the two concepts are positively correlated whilst others claim the opposite. Hence, the study’s purpose: to test which of the theorists predict the correct outcom

Today fund investment options are endless. To be able to profit, talented fund managers are of great importance. The purpose of this thesis is to communicate the real performance of managers and if they are skilled enough to cover their costs. This analysis can contribute to the decision of hiring or firing a fund manager. The main data consist of fund returns from Bloomberg and fee information fr

The purpose of this study is to investigate the increasing specialisation of tasks in contemporary organisations and ensuing demand of expertise, and how these factors are affecting the leadership within virtual teams (teams in organisations working virtually with help of technology). Globalisation and a technological revolution has greatly transformed the business world during the last decades, w

Problem description: With the rising trend of Swedish investors favoring index funds over actively managed funds, there is a need to evaluate whether this shift is justified. \\[1.75ex] Purpose: the purpose of this thesis is to assess the performance of actively managed Swedish equity funds relative to SEB Sverige Indexnära, an index fund that tracks the OMXSPI, to determine if the growing prefer
