The Underground as a Storage Facility. Modelling of Nuclear Waste Repositories and Aquifer Thermal Energy Stores

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna skrift behandlar marklagring av värme, kyla och kärnavfall.The underground is a vast region, which is, too a large extent, unused by man. It has a large potential as a storage facility due to its vastness and availability. This thesis, which consists of eleven papers and reports, deals with nuclear waste repositories in solid rock and with aquifer thermal energy storage systems. All these storage systems induce multidimensional, time-variable thermo-hydr

Mapping software testing practice with software testing research—SERP-test taxonomy

There is a gap between software testing research and practice. One reason is the discrepancy between how testing research is reported and how testing challenges are perceived in industry. We propose the SERP-test taxonomy to structure information on testing interventions and practical testing challenges from a common perspective and thus bridge the communication gap. To develop the taxonomy we fol

Gå på bio : rum för drömmar i folkhemmets Sverige

Popular Abstract in SwedishUnder slutet av 1950-talet, ungefär samtidigt med tv:s etablering, innehade Sverige Europarekordet vad gäller antalet biografer. Folk gick på bio som aldrig förr. Biograferna att spela en mycket stor roll för film- och biografkulturens tillgänglighet och spridning. Den här boken handlar om att gå på bio. Genom att gå på bio lärde sig människor att se och uppleva film ochGoing to the Pictures The Cinema as a Meeting Place in the 1940s and 1950s Summary At the end of the 1950s, at roughly the same time as television became established, Sweden had the largest number of cinemas of any country in Europe. People went to the cinema in unprecedented numbers. In 1956 ticket sales in Swedish cinemas reached 80 million. There were palatial cinemas which offered people a f

Applications of event-related potentials in the study of attention

Event-related potentials were measured in a series of studies where issues concerning attention were of special interest. In particular, the P300 was used as an index of controlled attention. Papers I and III studied nicotine effects on the P300. If nicotine effects were reflected in the P300, decreased latencies and increased amplitudes would be expected. No systematic nicotine effects were found

Religion och migration

I kapitlet om religion sätts fenomenet religion i relation till IMER-fältet. Med kapitlet vill författaren lyfta fram den komplexitet som finns i begreppet religion i relation till migration och genom att problematisera begreppet religion - och begreppet IMER – visa hur en beredare förståelse skapas för hur dessa förhåller sig till varandra. Kapitlet börjar med en genomgång av vad religion kan var

Implementation of an economic model to simulate manufacturing costs

An economic model describing manufacturing costs is implemented within the frame of a case study. The implemented economic model is developed to enable analyses of the cost items and parameters influencing the cost of a part or a batch and also to make simulations for the purpose of investigating the economic outcome of future development activities. The aim of the case study was to identify activ

Empatisk förståelse. Från inlevelse till osjälviskhet

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen utgör en filosofisk studie av empatisk förståelse, dvs. förståelse av hur det är för någon att uppleva (t ex känna, se, tänka) någonting. De två centrala frågeställningarna är (1) hur är empatiskt förståelse möjlig och (2) hur kan empatisk förståelse motivera människor att hjälpa andra personer. Avhandlingen försvarar tesen att dessa frågor besvaras genom aThis treatise examines the nature of empathic understanding, i.e. understanding of what it is like for someone to be in a particular mental state. Its aim is twofold: (1) to explain how empathic understanding is possible, and (2) to explain how empathic understanding can cause unselfishness. The treatise defends a theory that meets both these desiderata. According to this theory (“the simulation i

Modelling the vegetation of the Earth

This thesis describes the development and application of an equilibrium terrestrial biosphere model, BIOME3. The model simulates vegetation distribution and biogeochemistry, and couples vegetation distribution directly to biogeochemistry. A photosynthesis scheme was developed with maximum photosynthetic rates derived using a theory based on optimal nitrogen allocation; the scheme has the important

Balance, gait performance and muscular strength in the elderly

Popular Abstract in Swedish Benbrott inträffar i betydligt högre grad hos stadsbor jämfört med landsortsbor. Bakgrundsfaktorer, såsom graden av fysisk aktivitet och belastning i arbetet, kan ha betydelse för fall, som orsakar benbrott. Vi fann att äldre kvinnor som brutit handleden inom 3 månader från undersökningstillfället föreföll ha nedsatt balans, en försämring som verkar förbättras till normFracture incidence is higher in urban than in rural inhabitants. Background factors such as physical activity and workload may have an influence on the tendency to fall, leading to fractures. We found that elderly women with a recent fracture of the distal radius appear to have impaired balance, an impairment that seems to normalise with time after fracture. The aim of this study was also to get n
