MAX IV is presently under construction at Lund, Sweden, and the first beam for the production of synchrotron radiation is expected to circulate in 2016. The whole set of 3 GeV ring beam pipes is coated with Ti-Zr-V Non Evaporable Getter (NEG) thin film in order to fulfil the average pressure requirement of 1×10-9 mbar, despite the compact magnet layout and the large aspect ratio of the vacuum cham

Some policymakers believe that academic R&D generates insufficient economic benefits. However, they often exclude the long-term and multi-dimensional impacts that are mediated through the activities of companies, students or policymakers. This case study, which is mainly interview-based, traces and characterises such impacts applying the technological innovation systems approach to the case of

Environmental research infrastructures (RIs) support their respective research communities by integrating large-scale sensor/observation networks with data curation services, analytical tools and common operational policies. These RIs are developed as pillars of intra-and interdisciplinary research, however comprehension of the complex, pathologically interconnected aspects of the Earth's ecosyste

Initial results from the XUV undulator beamline at the 4.5 GeV storage ring DORIS are reported. The beamline consists of three different undulators mounted on a revolver type device and a modified SX-700 plane grating monochromator with a spherical focusing mirror. It covers the spectral range from 50–2000 eV with excellent spectral resolution and high photon flux. In the energy range 400 eV to 1

Gift-for-sex (GFS) barters are a niche practice potentially representing the commodification of everyday dating practices. We inquire how GFS exchanges are practiced and understood in contemporary Russia. Second, we situate these in relation to contemporary economic culture. Our project provides answers in two steps based on online content. First, we identify GFS exchange practices within a major

Popular Abstract in Swedish Det blir allt vanligare att man ersätter förlorade och skadade kroppsdelar med ett biomaterial (vanligtvis ett metall eller polymer implantat). Exempel på vanliga användningsområden är; suturer, kärl, hjärtklaffar, pacemakers, katetrar, ledproteser, fixationsskruvar för skelett och konstgjorda tänder samt kapslar för långsam frisättning av medicin. Trots det rutinmässigThe biological response to different implanted biomaterials vary. The relative importance of factors in the material and host for this variation are at present incompletely known. The variation in the cellular response to specific proteins and the rapid adsorption of proteins to surfaces exposed to biological environments has created the hypothesis that the cellular interactions with biomaterials

Popular Abstract in Swedish Inom området diagnostisk nuklearmedicin används radioaktiva läkemedel som ges (administreras) till patienterna i syfte att diagnostisera ett antal olika sjukdomstillstånd. Då man tar fram nya radioaktiva läkemedel för användning inom diagnostisk nuklearmedicin handlar det många gånger om att uppskatta mängden av ett visst upptag av radiofarmakat i olika organ och vävnadAn essential part of the development of new radiopharmaceuticals for use in diagnostic nuclear medicine is the determination of its biokinetic properties. The uptake and turn-over of the radiopharmaceutical in the source organs is of great interest since this could determine whether the radiopharmaceutical would be suitable for clinical use or not. It is also important that the biokinetics and dos

Evaluation of IT investments is a difficult and complicated issue. This chapter presents a framework for control of IT investments with the aim of providing decision-makers with a clear picture of individual IT investments as well as an aggregated level where all IT investments are combined into a total picture. The framework has been developed using an action–research approach.In a number of work

This article assesses the main innovations in the newly adopted Directive 2015/1513 on renewable energy and biofuels in the EU transport sector. It analyses the strengths and weaknesses of this legal framework and reflects on possible future elaborations of the EU approach to renewable energy and sustainable biofuels in the transport sector. These developments must be in balance with the productio

In the issue of using Life cycle assessment (LCA) for assessing E-commerce, we had some epistemological observations, via content analyse method, indicating that LCA has not only aspects of the ‘Systems Approach’ but also of the ‘Analytical Approach’, with even less emphasis on the former in practical terms. The purpose of this paper is to shed light on the connection among these observations, and

This paper seeks to identify indicators of why and how Ukrainian Government has failed to halt the conflict of Donbas by focusing on legislative developments between July 16 2014 - February 15, 2015. A Minimalist+politics approach has been applied, providing a theoretical framework that combines empiricy, normativity, and contextual settings to comprehend how peace processes operate depending on a

I denna abduktiva kvalitativa studie har tolv medarbetare från två sydsvenska kommuner intervjuas för att förstå upplevelser av omställningen från fysiskt kontorsarbete till hemarbete under Coronapandemin, samt hur det har påverkat upplevelsen av medarbetarengagemang i och med den digitaliserade informella kommunikationen. Genom tidigare forskning och teorier kopplade till organisationsförändring,In this abductive qualitative study, twelve co-workers from two Swedish public organizations are interviewed to understand their experiences of shifting from office based work to working from home, and how this shift enforce the experience of engagement through digitalized informal communication. Through previous research and theories on organizational change, change communication and sensemaking,

In a rapidly urbanising world, the importance of rural towns and villages is often forgotten. Many people see more opportunities for employment, social life and their children’s future in the big city, leaving smaller, rural places empty and abandoned. This process of rapid urbanisation can in the long run result in the loss of many valuable villages, along with their local community and the tradi

Genom att utnyttja generella socialpsykologiska mänskliga sårbarhetsfaktorer kan en gärningsperson manipulera en individ att lämna ifrån sig konfidentiell information. Utnyttjandet av mänsklig kontakt och förtroende i syfte att erhålla information kan företas med hjälp av informationsteknik eller genom en mer traditionell och humanistisk interaktion. Denna typ av utnyttjande benämns som social manBy utilizing general social psychological human vulnerability factors, an offender can manipulate an individual to disclose confidential information. The utilization of human contact and trust for the purpose of obtaining information can be done with the help of information technology or through traditional humanistic interaction. This type of exploitation is referred to as social engineering. The

Since 1992 the European Union has been granting certificates attesting the veracity and legitimacy of products in all of the EU. Such certificates are a symbol of the importance given by the European Union to the protection of regional products against falsifications of unique foodstuff products and the maintenance of good reputation of rural producers and rural areas. There is, however, a great

There were around one million apartments built in Sweden during 1965 to 1974 as part of the so called Swedish Million Programme, almost half of them concentrated in Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmoe. These building are now considered unattractive. The need of renovation is urgent in many aspects -ventilation, windows, balconies, facades and sanitary pipe replacement. The total investment cost for t

Considering the depersonalization that the bureaucratic role entails, it is interesting to analyze the bureaucratic role-play that occurs between public and private sphere from a dramaturgical perspective. In order to investigate the personal shift of bureaucrats’ attitude, I conducted participant observations and interviews at an office of a Swedish Agency. Based on critical theory and feminist c
