The purpose of this paper is to make the effects of the new cultural policies as presented by the current government visible. To do this I conducted a document study of Proposition 1996/97:3: Kulturpolitik och Proposition 2009/10:3: Tid för kultur in order to clearly show the change in Swedish cultural policy. I also conducted an interview study with members of Form/Design Center's staff in or
In 1973 Horst W.J Rittler and Melvin M called traffic planning a “wicked problem”, meaning that the area of expertise is highly technical but also touches upon socio-spatial questions. A wicked problem can never meet everyone's expectations and needs, due to a lot of different interests and values. In order to solve this problem the Swedish government suggested a new method called method of st
Biodiversity offsets and habitat banking in municipal planning Biodiversity offsetting is used to prevent loss of natural capital in connection with new developments. Biodiversity offsetting, which is based on the polluter pay-principle, means that those who cause loss or damage to nature values such as species, habitats or ecosystem services should make up for it by creating or ensuring correspo
In recent years, there has been a surge in attention towards biodegradable polymer films, driven by the growing environmental awareness concerning the harmful effects of petroleumbased plastics. The maize protein zein, a by-product from wet milling processes, has shown potential to work as hydrophobic coating. The aim of this study has therefore been to find the most promising process conditions f
This report discusses the use of magnetomotive ultrasound (MMUS) as a diagnostic imaging method using superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPION) as a contrast agent. With a focus on rectal cancer. Rectal cancer is a disease which complications often affect the quality of life to a large extent for the affected. The principle of MMUS is based on applying a time-varying magnetic field that e
Gross primary production (GPP) of the vegetation is the largest carbon exchange process of the global carbon cycle. Currently, within satellite-based remote sensing, GPP is generally modelled using linear light use efficiency models where GPP is related to photosynthetically active radiation absorbed by the green vegetation (APAR). These models work well on moderate to low spatiotemporal averaging
The Gaussian β-ensemble is a real n-point configuration {xj}n1 picked randomly with respect to the Boltzmann factor e− β 2 Hn, where Hn = ∑i≠j log |xi−1xj| + n ∑ni=112 xi2. It is well known that the point process {xj }n1 tends to follow the semicircle law σ (x) = 21π√(4 − x2 )+ in certain average senses. A Fekete configuration (minimizer of Hn) is spread out in a much more uniform way in the inter

Scholars discuss about the importance of processes of communication in which all stakeholders actively participate influencing the constitution and development of change and organizations. However, communication professionals struggle to em-brace these assumptions and modify their roles and practices in these complex set-tings. This study aims to understand how practitioners adapt their roles in t
Korslimmat trä, KL-trä, är ett förhållandevis nytt byggnadsmaterial i byggbranschen. Det består av ett udda antal skikt av lameller av konstruktionsvirke, där varje skikt av lameller ligger roterade 90 grader i förhållande till intilliggande skikt. Materialet används både i den bärande stommen och som stomkomplettering i form av exempelvis trappor. Idag finns endast en etablerad tillverkare på dCross-laminated timber, CLT, is a rather new building material. It consists of an odd number of layers consisting of lumber boards stacked together, where each layer is rotated 90 degrees in comparison to the adjacent layers. The material is used both as a load-carrying element as well as a non-load-carrying element, such as stairs. Today there is only one established producer of CLT in Sweden. D
Like many other international human rights law instruments, the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees was written from a male perspective, which has resulted in that the refugee definition of the Convention historically has been interpreted through a framework of male experiences. For this reason, many asylum claims of female applicants have been ignored. In order to be granted refug
In the past decade the European Union has established itself as an actor in Civilian Crisis Management. This process has been accompanied by a set-up and development of various institutions and concepts that guide the work in this field. As well as in other areas of European foreign policy, in Civilian Crisis Management a gap between policy-making and outcome can be identified. Taking this as a st
På senare år har Lagrådet riktat kraftfull kritik mot lagförslag som rege-ringen trots allt lagt fram inför riksdagen, och som sedermera blivit lag. Att lagstiftaren frångår en lång praxis kring lagarnas beredning och remissin-stansernas betydelse för slutlig lag kan antas påverka förarbetenas roll som rättskälla. Utifrån denna bakgrund är syftet med uppsatsen att ur ett kon-stitutionellt perspektIn recent years the Council on Legislation (Lagrådet) has directed forceful criticism at preparatory legislation that the Government has nevertheless submitted to the Riksdag (Parliament), and which have subsequently be-come law. The legislature’s departure from an old practice concerning the preparation of legislation and the significance of referral bodies for the final form of law may be assume
The objective of this thesis is to expand on previous research by implementing a new method for order-restricted estimation of length-biased data. This paper addresses the implementation and analysis of a stochastic spatial probabilistic model for characterizing the geometric relationship between perpetrator addresses and crime scene locations. The given data are length-biased observations of a de
A common reason to malfunctioning of tap-changers is wear of tribological contacts. In order to reduce wear, it would be desirable to lubricate the contacts. Since the tap-changer is working in transformer oil, it is necessary that whatever lubricant is added is compatible with transformer oil. In this work, the compatibility of lubricating grease in transformer oil has been investigated. A wide v
Tracking objects in a scene is a crucial task in accomplishing surveillance that enhances security and provides valuable information about the events happening at the site. For this task, the PTZ (pan-tilt-zoom) cameras can be utilized to achieve fluid tracking as they provide all-around surveillance with zoom capabilities. The drawback of current tracking solutions is the lack of interoperability
Lignocellulosic biorefineries are a cornerstone in the transition of our largely fossil-based society to a climate-society using renewable raw materials. In first generation of biorefineries the focus was on starch and sugar-based feedstock which lead to a competition with the food supply. In order to avoid this the second generation of biorefineries focus on lignocellulosic feedstocks such as woo
Renovating the European building stock has for almost two decades been a matter of importance to the European Union. Reduction of energy use for existing buildings can be achieved through applying energy efficiency renovation measures. Besides this, there is quite a large renovation need in Sweden due to building materials and services reaching (or having passed) the end of their service life.IncoRenovating the European building stock has for almost two decades been a matter of importance to the European Union.
