This report investigates the possibility of implementing a high-quality, regional, rubber-wheled based public transport system with train-like features to a lower cost than that of a traditional raliway. In order to be regarded as fulfilling this goal, the system, hereafter called rubber-wheel trains, must both be similar enough to railways to be regarded as trains by the passengers – and also be
Co-production, as a mechanism with collaborative and voluntary nature within the service-oriented logic framework, presents different characteristics in the event of system collapse. When the service infrastructure fails, if the authorities withdraw from the frontline, leaving a gap that disrupts the normal contracts of services.

Popular Abstract in English In May 1619, the Finnish astrologer Sigfridus Aronus Forsius (d. 1624) was examined by clerical authorities. In the verdict, astrology was rejected as a pagan craft, forbidden for any Christian. Yet still astrology was inseparable from the scholarly conception of the world. The principles of astral influence were more or less self-evident in physical theory and in medicThe purpose of this thesis is to analyse a displacement of the limits between allowable and illicit knowledge in the orthodox, Lutheran discourse of early modern Sweden. Focusing on the debate over astrology, exemplified in the works of Laurentius Paulinus Gothus (1565-1646) and Sigfridus Aronus Forsius (d. 1624), the thesis aims to challenge the view of how the Reformation, regarded as a prelimin
This thesis compares the wildfire evacuation simulation programme, WUI-NITY, against real-world data by analysing and comparing three wildfire events of the past. The wildfire events were all limited to be within the state of California and was further analysed based on the available quality of data derived of the chosen database. The goal with this thesis was to setup simulations based on the evi
Denna studie åsyftar att utreda hur saltlösning påverkar vanliga slitlager i kontrast till hur luft samt vatten påverkar slitlager. Slitlagerna representerades av asfalttyperna asfaltbetong, dränerande (ABD11 70/100) vilken är en dränerande beläggning samt asfaltbetong, stenrik (ABS11 70/100) som är en tät beläggning. ABD och ABS användes i experimentet eftersom ABD har en högre hålrumshalt än ABSThis study aims to investigate how salt solution affects typical road wear courses in contrast to how air and water affect road surfaces. The wear layers are represented by the asphalt concrete Porous Asphalt (PA or ABD11 70/100) which is a draining road surface and Stone Mastic Asphalt (SMA or ABS11 70/100) which is a dense road surface. PA and SMA were used as contrasts to use in the experiment
Objective To describe the incidence and burden of illness at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games, which was organised with strict COVID-19 countermeasures. Methods Daily illnesses were recorded via the web-based injury and illness surveillance system (teams with their own medical staff; n=81), and local polyclinic services (teams without their own medical staff; n=81). Illness proportion, incidence an
Modern populism has developed in Scandinavia since at least the 1970s, first in Norway and Denmark but more recently also in Sweden. Populist political parties have been well-established in Scandinavian Parliaments for many years. However, from a labour law perspective, the populist impact, if any, has been limited and populist discourse has primarily focused on issues such as migration and the EuModern populism has developed in Scandinavia since at least the 1970s, first in Norway and Denmark but more recently also in Sweden.

Aims: Grading of diastolic function can be useful, but indeterminate classifications are common. We aimed to invasively derive and validate a quantitative echocardiographic estimation of pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP) and to compare its prognostic performance to diastolic dysfunction grading.Methods and results: Echocardiographic measures were used to derive an estimated PAWP (ePAWP) usingAims: Grading of diastolic function can be useful, but indeterminate classifications are common.

Over the last decades, Sino-African diplomatic relations have undergone various changes, corresponding with China’s strategic objectives in and with the respective countries. Under the Xi administration, China’s approach to diplomacy has focussed on the quest of becoming a major global power while, or rather through, upholding its traditional values. This paper seeks to analyse how the current dis
This study analyzes the influence techniques applied when hijacking an organizational crisis in order to construct a larger narrative about Sweden. By applying the concepts of narration, mythical speech and moral culture, the study investigates which narrative techniques are applied to generate engagement in disinformation narratives. This was done through conducting a qualitative content analysis
This research advances the theoretical knowledge of the entrepreneurial process by investigating opportunity recognition, evaluation and exploitation in the context of prototyping. In particular, this thesis studies if, how and why the phenomenon changes the new venture creation process. Eight in-depth, semi-structured interviews were conducted with founders of startups offering a digital solution
