Increasing global interconnectivity, in terms of our economies, ecological systems and population dynamics, can reduce or amplify the risks posed by climate change. The ongoing Coronavirus 2019 crisis demonstrates how rapidly disasters and risks can cascade and escalate across countries to become a shared problem globally. Climate change impacts are increasingly being recognised not only as a nati
Popular Abstract in Swedish Hur kan svenska myndigheter förbereda sig för att hantera nästa kris när det gäller tillgängligheten av deras mest kritiska informationssystem? Det är den centrala frågan i denna avhandling. Svenska myndigheter och kommuner har en central roll i det svenska krishanteringssystemet. Givetvis är svenska kommunala och statliga verksamheter väldigt beroende av IT-system. SjAs our dependence on IT systems increases, evaluating the dependability of critical IT systems becomes more important. This is especially true for systems that are critical in a crisis situation and whose dependability is an important factor in an organisation's capability to resolve a crisis. Because crisis situations are typically rare events, both the dependability and the criticality of IT sys
Genom en reform år 1989 infördes de nuvarande reglerna om straffmätning och påföljdsbestämning i 29 och 30 kap. brottsbalken. Enligt 29 kap. 1 § brottsbalken ska straff bestämmas inom ramen för den tillämpliga straffskalan, utifrån brottet eller den samlade brottslighetens straffvärde. En grundläggande tanke med reformen var att den skulle främja förutsebarhet och enhetlighet i rättstillämpningen.
Detta examensarbete var en del i ett forskningsprojekt som utfördes vid avdelningen för maskinkonstruktion vid Lunds tekniska högskola och gick ut på att studera hur metodiken kring produktutveckling används hos ett antal företag i praktiken och jämföra detta med metodiken från litteraturen och det som lärs ut vid Lunds tekniska högskola, för att identifiera brister i modellerna och fungera som etThis Master´s Thesis is part of a larger research project carried out at the Division of Machine Design, Department of Design Science, LTH, and is about studying the product development methodologies applied in the industry and compare these to the methodologies described in the literature and taught at LTH. The first part of the assignment consisted in studying the existing methodologies about pr
The aim of this project was to investigate how the properties of high expansion foam is affected when filling large enclosures using portable foam generators. The properties are investigated both by collecting the Swedish rescue services experiences on the matter through a survey and by five full scale tests. The main conclusions of the project is the impact which the amount of openings have on th
Axis Communications wishes to investigate their PaaS system, Axis Connected Services(ACX), with regard to separation of the tenants of the platform to ensure the implemented separation technologies are used correctly and to find out whether more separation is necessary. ACX ties together several previously separate services under a single umbrella, with the goal of improving usability and increasi
Organised behaviour in disaster can be distinguished by looking at the organisation's post disaster structure and tasks. While past research seemingly has taken a multi-organisational perspective we have used organised behaviour as analytical tool in a case study of the Swedish fire and rescue service to focus on analysing one organisation and sub organisations within this. We argue that different
In cold regions, understanding the freeze-thaw behavior of air-entrained concrete is important for designing durable structures and assessing the remaining service life of existing structures. This study presents a hygro-thermo-mechanical multiphase model that describes the cyclic freeze-thaw behavior of partially saturated air-entrained concrete containing dissolved salt. An equilibrium and a non
Soil bulk density (BD) is a parameter dependent on soil texture, compositions of soil minerals and organic matter and the extent of soil compaction. Seasonal freeze/thaw in arid areas with shallow groundwater tables (AASGT) may significantly change BD and hence soil hydrothermal properties and water holding capacity. Therefore, quantifying soil bulk density changes (BDC) under freeze/thaw conditio
The levelized cost of energy (LCoE) is an important measure to quantify the macro-economic efficiency of an offshore wind farm and to enable a quantitative comparison with other types of energy production. The costs of the structural integrity management - which is required to ensure an adequate lifetime reliability of the turbine support structures - are part of the operational expenditures of an
Introduction: Patients with substance use disorders (SUD) and co-occurring mental disorders (COD) within forensic psychiatric care often suffer poor treatment outcomes and high rates of criminal recidivism, substance use, and psychiatric problems. This study aimed to describe the conditions for, and mental health care staff's experiences with, implementing integrated SUD-focused clinical guideline
Critical Infrastructures (CIs) have a vital role in the functioning and development of our modern societies. To accurately understand the potential consequences of critical infrastructure disruptions, dependencies and potential cascading effects between CIs have to be considered in risk governance. As a step towards creating a system-of-systems model of Sweden’s national technical CIs, this paper
The recent global success story of Nordic noir, that encompasses products from film and television as well as literature, is often attributed to the great popularity of its places and characters. Many of the protagonists of some of the most popular TV-shows, for instance, are described as more in depth-characters than many of their European and American counterparts. Notable examples are Kurt Wall
The Swedish healthcare sector is currently experiencing recruitment difficulties combined with increasing demand for healthcare services. This study accordingly seeks knowledge of the obstacles to and opportunities for retaining older employees in the Swedish healthcare sector. Results of interviews with line managers and human resource (HR) partners indicate that the informants have positive atti
Background: Orthodontic treatment need has commonly been assessed using treatment need indices during clinical examinations or using photographs in combination with plaster casts. Recently, the use of intraoral photographs alone to screen malocclusions has increased. Objective: This study aimed to validate intraoral photographs for the assessment of orthodontic treatment need. Materials and Method
Shallow geothermal offers great potential to supply emission-free heating and cooling and has therefore a pivotal role in the transition of heating and cooling networks. This paper presents a novel heating and cooling network with possible geothermal energy sharing between decentralized borefields located at each building level. The system consolidates the benefits of both standalone and centraliz
Effectively identifying deviations in real-world medical time-series data is a critical endeavor, essential for early surveillance of disease outbreaks. This paper demonstrates the integration of time-series anomaly detection techniques to develop surveillance systems for disease outbreaks. Utilizing data from Sweden's telephone counseling service (1177), we first illustrate the trends in physical
This study brings a systematic review that evaluated 43 articles on Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) applied to stormwater management in urban areas. This review aims to establish a reference on NBS effectively applied and whose environmental, social, and economic benefits have been duly discussed. The results address 13 NBS techniques/methodologies implemented and their ecosystem benefits. Our findin
The aim of this study is to examine the services offered by the public libraries in the context of distance learning students. I wanted to examine if there has been any discussion among the public libraries on how the new needs and demands affect them. To get a premonition on the development in Sweden I have focused on the public libraries in the province of Blekinge, which in many ways can be loo
