Safety Performance Functions and Crash Modification Factors are statistically-based prediction methods that require significant efforts and long periods in crash data collection. Traffic conflict studies can mitigate this issue using a short time survey to measure the number and severity of traffic conflicts, which are regarded as surrogate safety measures. Unfortunately, they are empirical studie
Two-particle transverse momentum correlation functions are a powerful technique for understanding the dynamics of relativistic heavy-ion collisions. Among these, the transverse momentum correlator G2(Δη, Δφ) is of particular interest for its potential sensitivity to the shear viscosity per unit of entropy density η/ s of the quark-gluon plasma formed in heavy-ion collisions. We use the UrQMD, AMPT
Gel formation by surfactant molecules is generally controlled by thermodynamics rather than kinetics. Mixtures of long-chain alcohols and surfactants are widely used in various cosmetic and pharmaceutical products. The cooling rate used to produce the products is known to be a key parameter to control the rheological properties and the final texture. However, the physical-chemistry links between t
We present the macroscale three-dimensional numerical solution of anisotropic Biot's poroelasticity, with coefficients derived from a micromechanical analysis as prescribed by the asymptotic homogenisation technique. The system of partial differential equations (PDEs) is discretised by finite elements, exploiting a formal analogy with the fully coupled thermal displacement systems of PDEs implemen
The suspended solids (SS) concentrations in effluent from moving bed biofilm reactors (MBBRs) used for secondary biological treatment can be up to 500 mg/L. Microscreens (Drumfilters or Discfilters) can be used as alternatives to traditional clarification or dissolved air flotation to remove SS and total phosphorus (TP). This study shows how a small-scale municipal WWTP for 5,700 population equiva
The aim of this study was to explore how consequences from a university-wide partnership unfolded at various levels within a university and induced intra-organizational dynamics. This was achieved via an in-depth investigation of “The Bridge,” a collaborative partnership between the young mid-range Swedish Linnaeus University (“Average Joe”) and the home furnishing retail giant IKEA, which despite
Compression was earlier an important and well-managed part of the clinical routine, but during the past 15-20 y the use has diminished, except for mammography, where it is a prerequisite for having images of high quality and low radiation dose. According to national and European regulations and recommendations, it is important to apply the compression technique to obtain the optimal image quality
The rationale for thrombolysis, the most promising pharmacological approach in acute ischaemic stroke, is centred on the principal cause of most ischaemic strokes: the thrombus that occludes the cerebral artery, and renders part of the brain ischaemic. The occluding thrombus is bound together within fibrin. Fibrinolysis acts by activation of plasminogen to plasmin; plasmin splits fibrinogen and fi
Abstract in UndeterminedThere has been much interest in group judgment and the so-called 'wisdom of crowds'. In many real world contexts, members of groups not only share a dependence on external sources of information, but they also communicate with one another, thus introducing correlations among their responses that can diminish collective accuracy. This has long been known, but it has-to date-
The Paleoproterozoic part of the Fennoscandian Shield is composed of crustal components formed in different tectonic settings and generally separated by well-defined shear zone systems. An anomalous transitional boundary has been investigated by integrating structural analysis and geochronology with published geophysical data. The nature of this boundary is interpreted to be a consequence of an ap
Context. It is debated whether the Milky Way bulge has characteristics more similar to those of a classical bulge than those of a pseudobulge. Detailed abundance studies of bulge stars are important when investigating the origin, history, and classification of the bulge. These studies provide constraints on the star-formation history, initial mass function, and differences between stellar populati
The transmembrane topology of the Acr3 family arsenite transporter Acr3 from Bacillus subtilis was analysed experimentally using translational fusions with alkaline phosphatase and green fluorescent protein and in silico by topology modelling. Initial topology prediction resulted in two models with 9 and 10 TM helices respectively. 32 fusion constructs were made between truncated forms of acr3 and
Drought is arguably the most important regulator of inter-annual variation in net ecosystem CO2 exchange (NEE) in peatlands. This study investigates effects of drought periods on NEE and its components, gross primary production (GPP) and ecosystem respiration (R-eco), on the basis of eddy covariance measurements of land-atmosphere exchange of CO2 in 2006-2009 in a south Swedish nutrient-poor peatl
Theoretical ecologists have long sought to understand how the persistence of populations depends on the interactions between exogenous (biotic and abiotic) and endogenous (e.g., demographic and genetic) drivers of population dynamics. Recent work focuses on the autocorrelation structure of environmental perturbations and its effects on the persistence of populations. Accurate estimation of extinct
Rwanda has experienced an increase in the frequency of riverine floods since the mid 2000s, and the future impact of climate change on the hydrological cycle is uncertain. Flood hazard analysis is one tool used to reduce flood risks; the analysis is often based on models which requires hydrological and meteorological data. New hydrological measurement stations have been installed at select locatio
Sverige har idag ett system med en mycket stark presumtion för villkorlig frigivning efter två tredjedelar av avtjänat fängelsestraff. Enbart den intagnes skötsamhet under sin anstaltsvistelse kan läggas till grund för att den villkorliga frigivningen ska kunna skjutas upp. En majoritet av de svenska riksdagspartierna vill ändra eller avveckla systemet med villkorlig frigivning så som det ser ut iThe laws regarding parole in Sweden consists of mandatory release of a prisoner once two-thirds of their prison sentence has been served. It is only the behavior of the prisoner while in prison that can cause the parole to be declined and delayed. A majority of the Parliament parties in Sweden wants to change or remove the system of parole as it is today. It is mostly the question of whether or no
Sedan 1895 har det inom aktiebolagsrätten funnits bestämmelser om tvångslikvidation på grund av kapitalbrist. Det övergripande syftet med bestämmelserna är att sätta upp gränser för hur långt en förlustbringande verksamhet får fortsätta innan verksamheten måste avbrytas genom likvidation. Bestämmelserna innebär att styrelsen har en skyldighet att agera i ett antal situationer. Styrelsen ska, när dSince 1895 there have been provisions regarding compulsory liquidation due to capital deficiency in Swedish company law. The general purpose of the provisions is to set limits on how far a loss-making activity may continue before the activity has to be interrupted by liquidation. The provisions provide that the board of directors has a duty to act in a number of situations. The board of directors
Hatbrotten uppmärksammas i allt större utsträckning i Sverige och flera åtgärder har vidtagits för att dessa brott ska bekämpas och förebyggas. Homo- och bisexuella personer anses vara en särskilt utsatt grupp i samhället och när ett brott begås med motiv att kränka offret på grund av dennes sexuella läggning ska gärningsmannen dömas strängare. Samtidigt finns det ett prejudicerande avgörande frånHate crimes are receiving increasing attention in Sweden and a number of measures have been taken to combat and prevent these crimes. Homo- and bisexual persons are considered a particularly vulnerable group in society and when a perpetrator, motivated by hate or bias, targets a person because of his or her sexual orientation he will receive a greater punishment. At the same time the Supreme Court
Detta är en kvalitativ studie om sex chefer i olika företag, både inom privat och offentlig sektor. Cheferna hade alla deltagit i ett utvecklingsprogram anordnat av MiL Institute, ett svenskt företag som bedriver ledarskapsutveckling. Syftet med studien var att undersöka chefernas upplevelse av att delta i programmet och hur de ser på sin roll som ledare. Denna studie använde en metod inspirerad aThis is a qualitative study conducted on six managers in different enterprises both within private and public sector. The managers had all participated in a development program hosted by the MiL Institute, a Swedish company conducting leadership development. The aim of the study was to examine the manager’s experience in participating in the program and how they see their role as a leader. Th
I en allt mer globaliserad värld präglad av konstant gränsöverskridande handel är det av yttersta vikt att beskattningen av gränsöverskridande transaktioner fungerar tillfredsställande. Detta gäller även de fall då avkastning på finansiella instrument korsar länders gränser. I svensk rätt liksom i många andra länders rätt saknas klara definitioner för vad som är ränta och vad som är utdelning. DetIn a progressively more globalized world featuring constant cross-border trade it is imperative that the taxation of cross-border transactions is carried out in a satisfactory manner. This is also true regarding periodic income from financial instruments. In Swedish tax law as well as in many other countries there is no clear definition of what constitutes interest and dividends.
