The time and temperature dependent dynamic modulus of asphalt concrete is a key parameter to modern pavement design and to pavement quality. However, accurate measurements of the complex modulus through conventional cyclic testing are expensive regarding both time and costs. Novel test methods based on modal analysis facilitate economic, accurate and faster determination of linear viscoelastic mat

Hydrotropic extraction (HEX) is a method for the delignification of lignocellulose that has been given increasing amounts of attention during the last couple of years. A hydrotrope is an amphiphilic substance, which, in high enough concentrations, can improve solubility of otherwise poorly soluble substances in water. The most commonly used substance for HEX-delignification is sodium xylenesulfona

The mechanical properties of the large arteries are important determinants in the circulation physiology. Quantities associated with vessel wall elasticity are of particular interest since they offer a possibility to separate diseased arteries from healthy. Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is a local measure of the arterial wall elasticity. This paper describes a new improved method for non-invasive loca

Hösten 1971 släppte en ny grupp från Malmö, Hoola Bandoola Band, sitt första album, Garanterat individuell, vilket kom att få stor spridning och innebära gruppens genombrott i den svenska populärmusikgenren. En av de sånger som har kommit att göra albumet ihågkommet genom flera decennier är Fred (Till Melanie)skriven av Mikael Wiehe. Den drygt 13 minuter långa sången avslutar albumet och är av när

Våra städer är otroligt sårbara för skyfall. Skyfallen som drabbade Köpenhamn 2011 och Malmö tre år senare blev en ögonöppnare för många. I vår artikel presenterar vi resultaten från en intervjustudie där flera nyckelpersoner i Sverige, Danmark och Norge har fått besvara frågor relaterade till skyfallshantering. Den generella uppfattningen hos de som intervjuats i denna studie är att det saknas st

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore in what way gradually increasing teachers’ theory-based instruction affects the students’ learning outcomes, illustrated by the example of learning how to regulate body tension in the upper secondary school. Design/methodology/approach – In total, 72 students from four classes participated in the study. The way the students were offered to understa

My research is concerned with the co-optation of sustainability, feminism, and social justice within and by the fast fashion industry in Sweden. This stems from a desire to understand the acceleration of sustainability discourse and narratives built by brands (through communication, advertisement, marketing, and sustainability reporting) and how this shapes consumption. I argue that the dominating

In this chapter we propose a novel ethical approach to city branding based on a relational understanding of vulnerability. We rethink the prevailing ethics of competition and competitiveness in the field by demonstrating its limitations for contributing positively to urban sustainable development. An ethics of vulnerability approach is outlined based on principles of performativity, interdependenc
