Strengthening public preparedness - Best practices and an analysis of efforts in Sweden

Arbetet med att uppmuntra allmänheten att skaffa sig en elementär beredskap för att kunna klara av till exempel längre elavbrott eller föroreningar i dricksvatten behöver förbättras på en rad olika punkter, visar ett examensarbete skrivet av Joel Rödström, Lunds Tekniska Högskola. I det moderna samhället förlitar vi oss på att leveranser av el, mat, vatten och värme fungerar. Att vi vant oss vidThe urban human of today is becoming increasingly dependent on different functions of the society to survive, such as electricity and communications, functions which are sensitive to e.g. storms. The on-going climate change is and will further put a pressure on these functions. Concerns have risen that today’s public is limited in its ability to independently deal with the consequences of societal

Conforming building models derived in Esri's environment to the Swedish national specification for 3D data

Three-dimensional (3D) city models are increasingly utilized among stakeholders of different sectors, particularly those dealing with building information. 3D city models are a three-dimensional digital representation of urban structures, most prominently buildings. They offer diverse applications and have gained wide acceptance as a support tool in planning practices. The push to achieve greater

Geological characterisation of geophysical lineaments as part of the expanded site descriptive model around the planned repository site for high-level nuclear waste, Forsmark, Sweden

Svenska Kärnbränslehanteringen (SKB) startade ett projekt under 2020 i närheten av Forsmark i Sverige med målet att utöka deformationszonsmodellen till att inkludera hela dräneringsområdet runt om det planerade slutförvaret för använt kärnbränsle. Detta arbete bygger på en lineamentmodell som var skapad för SKB. Denna modell använder sig av magnetiska data tillsammans med höjddata samt data insaml

Ethnic profiling in Sweden – can it be legalised through the test of proportionality?

I USA och Storbritannien är termer såsom “driving while black” (översatt ungefär till ”vara mörkhyad och köra bil”) välkända och båda länderna kräver att deras polismyndigheter samlar in data rörande polisens arbete och etnicitet. Detsamma går inte att säga gällande Sverige där termen ”etnisk profilering” inte är lika välkänd. 2013 avslöjades det dock att polismyndigheten i Skåne haft ett register

Grasshoppers Rather Than Ants? - Ideal Victims, Just-World Belief and the Reduction of Victim Compensation in Swedish Law

Ekonomisk ersättning till brottsoffer kan ta olika former och betalas av olika aktörer. De regler som avgör ersättningens storlek föreskriver ibland jämkning eller sänkning av beloppet på diverse grunder. Denna jämkning kan av brottsoffer potentiellt upplevas som en “sekundär viktimisering”. I detta arbete kartläggs grunderna för jämkning av ersättning till brottsoffer i svensk rätt och analyseras

Bridging the Accountability Gap - A study of the civil liability of parent companies for business-related human rights abuse in Sweden, France and the United Kingdom

The lack of accountability for human rights violations arising out of the activities of multinational enterprises has been identified as a key impediment to the fulfillment of universal human rights and the corresponding access to remedy for victims. However, the last couple of years have witnessed an increasing movement to bridge the accountability gap on the national and international level. Th

The UNCRC and Child Interrogation in Sweden and Norway

Barnkonventionens assimilering in svensk lagstiftning är en komplicerad sak. Det finns manga metoder som går att använda när det kommer till assimilering av barnkonventionen. Alla dessa metoder tar tid att genomföra. Båda länderna har valt att arbeta på liknande sätt med barnkonventionen. Detta beror sannolikt på att Sverige och Norge har liknande konstitutionella system. Gällande förhör med barn

Beyond the words - A correlational study of the tone of CEO letters in relation to the stock market performance in Japan, Sweden, and the United States

Previous research has shown the importance of the CEO letter in a company’s annual report, with it being one of the most widely read parts. Despite this, it is compared to most other parts in the annual report not audited, meaning that the CEO can write whatever they see fit without any precautions. Based on this research, the purpose of this study was to analyse whether the tone of reported infor

Established forest firefighting techniques: A qualitative review of practices among the Swedish fire services.

Methods and equipment used for fighting forest fires are different from the ones used in urban fires. Generally, the wildfires are intense, require more resources and tend to spread rapidly. The effectiveness of different suppression techniques is difficult to evaluate since they depend on terrain, weather conditions and other varying factors over time and space. The current study focuses on the s

The Role of Knowledge Acquisition in Internationalization: A dual case study of Swedish digital SMEs

This paper investigates the role of knowledge acquisition in the internationalization of digital small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). An organizational learning perspective is adopted by examining how each of Huber’s (1991) five knowledge acquisition types are used in firm internationalization. An extensive overview of literature on the topic is provided, and additional insight is provided t
