This thesis, drawing from several empirical investigations, reaches the conclusion that there seems to be a positive correlation between the level of democracy and the level of state capacity in Latin American countries. This correlation is explained by a hypothesis derived from Rational Choice theory. With some important caveats, this conclusion is then applied to the discussion about democracy a

The effects of four parameters on the cracking of a single leaf masomy facade were studied. The four parameters were, the properties between the masomy and the ground, the ratio between length and width, different values of Y o ungs modulus and the presence of windows and doors.The analysis was carried out in the FE-program Ansys. The present work also includes an experimental study ofthe shear be

Signals from three analouge sensors has been evaluated. The sensors are an optical sensor, a heat sensor and a multi sensor. The components of the multi sensor are an optical sensor and a heat sensor. The signals came from disturbing sources and test fires at a full scale test. The purpose is to find algorithms that filtrate some of the disturbing sources but does not delay the alarm from the test

This report is a study of methods and engineering guidelines in selection of design fire scenario. Three different guidelines has been studied and compared: ISO 16733, Engineering Guide to Application of Risk Assessment in Fire Protection Design by Society of fire protection engineering and International Fire Engineering Guidelines. Besides that statistics from all the rescue services around Swede

Problem: Det saknas kunskap om intern kriskommunikation i en förkrisfas och det saknas kunskap som tar hänsyn till komplexiteten i hur medarbetare skapar mening genom olika former av kommunikation. Syfte: Att bidra med kunskap om hur organisationers medarbetare kommunicerar och skapar mening om krisförberedelser. Metod: En fallstudie av SUS akutmottagning i Lund som inkluderar intervjuer och obsProblem: There is a lack of knowledge about internal crisis communication in a pre-crisis stage and knowledge that takes into consideration the complexity of how co-workers creates meaning through different forms of communication. Purpose: To contribute with knowledge on how co-workers communicate and create meaning about crisis preparations. Method: A case study of the emergency room at a teach

The discussions in this chapter should be viewed as a limited contribution to the debate on how to introduce the right to equal treatment through legislation. In the coming pages, I shall use a case study to demonstrate the differences between rights which emerge organically from below and work bottom up and rights which are introduce through political pressure from above and work top down. This s

This paper consists of two, somewhat disparate parts. In the first part, some experiences of two years of fieldwork are summarized, concentrating, as the subtitle suggests, on the very heart of phonetic fieldwork: the encounters and interviews with the informants. As a result of the fieldwork, the project now has access to recordings from approximately 1300 speakers of more than 100 dialects of Sw

“The Future is distributed: a vision of sustainable economies” is a collection of case studies on distributed economies, a concept describing sustainable alternatives to the existing business models. The authors of this publication are international Masters students of the Environmental Sciences, Policy and Management Programme at the International Institute for Industrial Environmental Economics

Populärvetenskaplig sammanattning: Syftet med detta arbete är att dels försöka finna dygnsvariationer i koncentrationen av fina aerosoler, dels att försöka förklara vad dessa kan bero på i den mån det är möjligt. Syftet inkluderar även att undersöka aerosolernas långväga transporter för att härigenom ta reda på varifrån partiklarna kommer ur ett regionalt perspektiv. För att lösa uppgiften utnyttj

I svensk rätt men även av Europadomstolen har det ansetts möjligt att tillmäta en tilltalads tystnad eller icke trovärdiga förklaring en för denne negativ bevis-verkan genom åläggandet av en förklaringsbörda. Uppsatsens syfte är att un-dersöka om denna förklaringsbörda i ljuset av bevisrättsliga principer samt rättspsykologisk forskning är lämplig att använda i brottmål. För att uppfylla syftet ko
