To systematically address non-technical engineering skills (NTES), six mandatory "Engineering Days" (Ing-dagar) were introduced in two bachelor programmes. The students were also allowed to perform voluntary activities leading to a Certification of Non-technical Engineering Competences, a certificate the students can attach to their CVs. To be certified, the student must have performed activities
BACKGROUND: Physicians assessing chest pain patients in the emergency department (ED) base the likelihood of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) mainly on ECG, symptom history and blood markers of myocardial injury. Among these, the ECG has been stated to be the most important diagnostic tool. We aimed to analyze the relative contributions of these three diagnostic modalities to the ED physicians' evalu
This paper aims to portray the increasingly complex normative structure of international climate change regime, which consists of the 1992 UN Framework Convention on Cimate Change, the 1997 Kyoto Protocol as well as other additional elements that playing a role, such as the practices of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and the Global Environmental Facility and procedures of these inst
The structural set-up and key characteristics of regulatory regimes for risk management vary between countries, technical domains and application areas. Risk regulations come in different forms, ranging from a highly prescriptive (“hard”) approaches including explicit requirements on key risk management components, to “softer” approaches requiring risk to be managed without defining how. Risk regu
We investigate the occurrence of water vapour signatures in a total of 10 red giants in the solar neighbourhood at mid-infrared wavelengths (12 pm). With the use of high resolution spectra from TEXES and synthesized spectra based on MARCS model atmospheres, we analyse the differences and discuss plausible causes. These include abundance adjustments, the addition of non-photospheric components (MOL
Blinks, the closing and opening of the eyelids, are used in a wide array of fields where human function and behavior are studied. In data from video-based eye trackers, blink rate and duration are often estimated from the pupil-size signal. However, blinks and their parameters can be estimated only indirectly from this signal, since it does not explicitly contain information about the eyelid posit
Adaptation strategies can backfire and cause maladaptive outcomes, yet this is an understudied area in Swedish adaptation work, and a conceptually challenging theme with potential justice implications. The study explored the potential existence of maladaptation in Swedish municipalities in the Motala ström catchment area in collaboration with the FairWater research project, through conducting 18 q
This thesis has the ambition to provide an answer to why governments’ asylum policy changes. Previous research suggests that changes in policy lay within ideational and material sources of preference. Correspondingly, the reason for change in asylum policy specifically, is partly due to the number of asylum seekers, the public opinion and the party ideology. However, scholars are not in agreement
This thesis will explore Ernest Hemingway’s depiction of the crisis of masculinity in The Sun Also Rises (1927) with a focus on how the novel portrays the change in gender norms following World War I. For the main body of the thesis, I will use R.W. Connell’s theory of hegemonic masculinity and expand slightly in my discussion section with Judith Butler’s theory of gender performativity. I wil

Communication interventions are commonly proposed as a way to address people's fear and negative attitudes to build tolerance in shared landscapes between humans and large carnivores. Therefore, managing authorities sometimes respond to people's fear of brown bears (Ursus arctos) by organizing an information meeting. This study increases the understanding of the information meeting to address fear

The district heating sector in Sweden is today facing several challenges due to competition from other heating alterna-tives as well as decreasing heat demand in buildings. To increase its competitiveness, the district heating companieshave to find ways to keep their production costs at a more or less constant level. One way of doing this is to increasethe efficiency of the district heating syst
