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 normal cells, the cell cycle is controlled by a complex series of signalling pathways by which a cell grows, replicates its DNA and divides. The critical task of the cell cycle is to ensure that DNA is faithfully replicated and that identical chromosomal copies are distributed equally to two daughter cells during mitosis with the help of the mitotic spindle. Thus, mitotic spindle formation is v

When decision on repair has been taken the available repair systems/methods must be evaluated with regard to the immediate requirements. For each type and cause of damage, there are normally only a few possible repair systems. These repair systems should be evaluated with regard to following 5 basic properties, or characteristics: 1) service life/durability, 2) structural stability/safety, 3) exec
During the last decade, a new design of schools with fan assisted natural ventilation has been introduced. Experience and knowledge of this type of ventilation system is therefore needed. The objective of the project is to study the technical and physical conditions required to ensure satisfactory ventilation. The whole project includes analyses of the air flows for different combinations of outdo
For ergonomics/human factors solutions to be beneficial for society and its members it is vital to apply a systems level perspective. Students who will be the future engineers, designers, and managers of socio-technical systems need to gain an understanding of how ergonomics/human factors can be integrated in the design of workplaces, organisations, products, and services. This paper gives example
Background and AimsApomictic species (with asexual seed production) make up for 20-50 % of all taxonomically recognized species in northern Europe, but the phylogenetic relationships of apomictic species and the mode of evolution and speciation remain largely unknown and their taxonomy is consequently disputed.MethodsIn the present study, plastid psbD-trnT sequences (349 accessions) and 12 nuclear
Human land use changes perturb biogeochemical silica (Si) cycling in terrestrial ecosystems. This directly affects Si mobilisation and Si storage and influences Si export from the continents, although the magnitude of the impact is unknown. A major reason for our lack of understanding is that very little information exists on how land use affects amorphous silica (ASi) storage in soils. We have qu
A simple mass balance model has been developed to assess the planetary boundary for P supply in relation to use by human society. Phosphorus sources used by humans are from fossil reserves. The model takes into account resource use rate and reserves, consumption, phosphate to food production, environmental degradation, waste and recycling. Various policy scenarios are tested from current end of pi
A theory is presented for the service life of concrete exposed to frost action. It is based on a separation of the frost resistance problem in two parts. Part 1, that is only a function of the material itself, and which is expressed in terms of a critical water content, or a degree of saturation, which is a "fracture value" being almost independent of the external conditions (except for the lowest
Buildings are one of the largest consumers of energy and materials, and hence they are also one of the largest contributors to negative environmental impacts. Traditionally, energy consumed by buildings during their operation phase was the most significant in their lifecycles and far exceeded the embodied energy. However, in contemporary low-energy buildings, the embodied energy is proportionally
Changes in forestry practices and on-going climate change may both have large impacts on forest bird populations. However, large-scale analyses of the effects of temporal changes in forest structure on forest bird numbers are largely lacking. We compared temporal trends from two Swedish nationwide long-term monitoring schemes, the Swedish Bird Survey (1998–2015) and the Swedish National Forestry I
Spatial data seamless exchange and interoperable usage has become a necessity in efficient data management and competitive positioning in the European Union. Conceptual and technical framework for the spatial data and services interoperability is specified within the EU INSPIRE Directive. The Directive provides flexible and modular structure, giving the opportunity for customisation of the data sp
Hejarsondering är en geoteknisk undersökningsmetod som har använts inom svensk geoteknik sedan 1940-talet. På senare tid halkar dock metoden efter i sin utveckling och lever därför inte upp till de moderna förväntningarna på användbarhet och effektivitet. En modernisering av metoden ses därför som nödvändig och möjligheten att göra detta och eventuella förslag undersöks. Arbetet är utfört på avdelSwedish ram sounding is a geotechnical investigation method that has been in use in Sweden since the 1940s. In later times the method has not been able to fulfill demands in utility and effectiveness, due to lack of development, and a modernisation is seen as necessary. This investigation seeks to investigate the possibility of a modernisation of the method, as well as to discuss different solutio
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
This paper analyzes a genre of hotels that has grown substantially the latest decades: namely one that includes hotels that go under names such as design hotels, boutique hotels, or "contemporary" hotels. It presents elements of the transnational discourse of this genre and shows how these are translated, materialized and localized. Individual hotels are used as illustrative examples of how discur
The last part of the product design process is called embodiment design, it aims to give a “physical body” to the product so as to make it ready to use. It is on that particular part of the design activity that I was working, I was included in the research for the embodiment design team of the machine design division in LTH. The main research work was upon the process of this phase, to try to unde
