The report investigates the use of measured transversal vibrations to estimate the axial load on beams/columns. A literary review of the basic theory is performed, which clearly shows the theoretical relation between natural frequency and axial loading of linear structural elements (strings & beams). Current journal articles show that research has been done on mathematical models as well as so
Frågan om hur uppsåtsbedömningen ska göras på självförvållat berusade personer är erkänt problematisk, och de olika lösningar som finns tycks aldrig bereda en fullständig tillfredställelse. Just balansgången mellan å ena sidan effektivitetsskälen och å andra sidan rättsäkerheten har visat sig svår att gå, då de är två motstående intressen som båda behöver tillgodoses för att uppnå en fullgod lösniThe question about how the subjective test of intention shall be done on self-induced intoxicated persons has been recognized as problematic, and the various solutions available never seem to give sufficient satisfaction. Especially the balancing act between so called efficiency reasons and on the other hand the rule of law has been proved difficult, as they are conflicting interests that both mus
Bakgrund: Generellt bland industrivärldens lager är denhuvudsakliga uppgiften försörjning av material mot montering och tillverkning. Så är fallet även på ABB Swedewater. När en produkt ska tillverkas plockar personalen på lagret ihop de komponenter som behövs och skickar dem till tillverkningen. Materialet till anläggningen ”kittas” för att underlätta arbetet i produktion. Detta betonar vikten avBackground: Generally among industrialized warehouses, the main operational task is to supply the assembly or manufacturing with material, so is also the situation at ABB Swedewater. When manufacturing a product, the warehouse personnel pick necessary components requested by othersections of the production. This stresses the importance of a correct performance when picking, as this forms the base
The aim of this research was to explore the consumer behavior of international students in the context of the choice for a higher education institution abroad in order to gain insights on their interactions with different online media communication channels during their decision journey. Previous research discussed the increased use of the internet during the application process for universities a
Natural disasters are distressing and destructive for all who are exposed to them; however, certain populations are more vulnerable to their devastating effects than others. In the wake of the 2017 Northern California wildfire, scores of undocumented immigrants were significantly affected. Although the conflagration spread indiscriminately, the subsequent impacts were disproportionately felt by th
Armenia is a small, land-locked, transitional economy in the region of South Caucasus with a huge potential of developing its solar energy system. The challenges that the country’s energy sector is facing, such as high dependence on imported natural gas and oil, energy dependence on a single market, high transport costs, old and inefficient infrastructure, as well as the risk of repetition of ener
This paper investigates the spatial distribution of different knowledge sourcing mechanisms by a network of video game developers in the Skåne region of Sweden. The video game industry has evolved considerably since its inception; transforming from a localized niche industry to one of the fastest growing media industries in the world. This paper aims to address how industry evolution engenders bot
Succeeding a brief discussion of what vertical integration (VI) is, its interaction with risk and uncertainty, and the context of this study, namely the COVID-19 pandemic and its simultaneous semiconductor shortages, the purpose of this paper is outlined to fill a research gap regarding an empirically supported relationship between vertical integration and systemic risk. The aim and contribution h
Given the rise of new startups and the challenges amplified by events like the Covid-19, it is critical to address the notion of the Entrepreneurial Ecosystem which, in turn, facilitates the development of new ventures. One of the actors within this ecosystem is startup accelerators, which provide networking opportunities, financial and mentoring assistance to new ventures. Previous research on ac
In June 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of Dobbs in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, overturning Roe v. Wade. The decision eliminated the almost 50-year-old constitutional right to abortion and automatically activated trigger laws imposing immediate abortion bans in 12 states. Previous research suggests that legalization of abortion leads to higher female labor force parti
The stable isotope composition of tree rings is known to contain valuable information of past climatic and environmental changes, which may be used as a complement to tree ring width and maximum latewood density in climate reconstructions. In this study we examine the character and strength of the climate signal captured in the delta O-18 and delta C-13 values of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) t
Increased blood pressure and high dietary salt are leading risks for death and disability globally. Reducing the burden of both health risks are United Nations' targets for reducing noncommunicable disease. Nongovernmental organizations and individuals can assist by ensuring widespread dissemination of the best available facts and recommended interventions for both health risks. Simple but impactf
This study is a contribution to the empirical underpinning of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), and it aims to identify linguistic correlates to the proficiency levels defined by the CEFR. The study was conducted in a Swedish school setting, focusing on English, French and Italian, and examined the relationship between CEFR levels (A1-C2) assigned by experienced rate
Abstract in UndeterminedSporangia, with their in situ cryptospores, spore masses, and a possible axis were identified in marginal marine Ludlovian deposits from Gotland. Sweden by means of light- and scanning electron microscopy.The sporangia identified are elongate, with fragments of the sporangia covering preserved, and contain well-preserved in situ embryophyte cryptospores identified as Laevol
The Scandinavian Total Ankle Replacement (STAR) has been used widely in Europe and more recently in the United States. We studied the results of the single-coated and the double-coated STAR with long-term follow-up.
The effect of a study day on the subject of pain for nurses working at the thorax surgery department The aims of this investigation were: to describe patients' evaluation of pain and the treatment of pain after thorax surgery via sternotomy; to repeat the evaluation with another group of patients following a study day for nurses, featuring pain and pain treatment; and to examine whether the study
Background: The electrocardiographic (ECG) diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (MI) should be improved. This might be done either by regarding all 24 aspects (both positive and negative leads), or a subset hereof (e.g. 19-lead ECG), of the conventional 12-lead ECG or by using additional electrodes. The purpose of this study was to investigate the accuracy of the different ECG methods in diagn
