Människor som lever under social utsatthet bor ofta i särskilda delar av städer. I grannskap som präglas av strukturella riskfaktorer som arbetslöshet, otrygg boendemiljö, trångboddhet och territoriell marginalisering (utsatta bostadsområden), tenderar också befolkningen att utsättas för social stress, ohälsa, social oro och oönskade sociala händelser i högre utsträckning än andra. Detta tydliggör

The expansion in the supply of energy services over the last couple of centuries has reduced the apparent importance of energy in economic growth despite energy being an essential production input. We demonstrate this by developing a simple extension of the Solow growth model, which we use to investigate 200 years of Swedish data. We find that the elasticity of substitution between a capital-labor

The purpose of this paper is to explore in what way the place becomes important for those who are affected by disasters or sudden death. According to human geography people have affective bonds to the concrete physical places where they are living and moving in their everyday live. Places are also constructed as meeting places where people create social relations. In the discotheque fire in Gothen

This study comprises three parts, each of which illustrates different aspects of insurance fraud. The three parts can be seen as independent presentations with their own research findings; but these parts may also be seen together as a whole, giving further perspectives regarding the subject of the study. Part I presents different procedures regarding insurance fraud. This part includes a survey w

The book describes and discusses the langguage policy and planning in Sweden 1500-1800. It treats the status of Swedish in relation to other languages in Sweden (Latin, German etc.) during that time as well as the standardization of the written language from the 16th century when the reformation bible appeared in Swedish.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Hur upplever och ser personer med blödarsjuka eller sockersjuka sig själva och närstående andra. I den första delen av denna avhandling studeras 27 patienter, 16 till 39 år gamla, med blödarsjuka. Av primärt intresse var från början frågan hur sjukdomen kunde tänkas påverka deras känsloliv och i synnerhet deras syn på sig själva och betydelsefulla medmänniskor. DärutöveThe Affects Towards And Perceptions Of The Self And Significant Others in Hemophiliacs and Diabetics The studies in this dissertation investigated the feelings towards and ways of perceiving the self and significant others in twenty-seven patients with hemophilia between the ages of 16-39 to discern how their perceptual-affect states are organized. Secondly, the relationship between bleeds and aff

This paper presents three Swedish residential low energy buildings regarding the total need of energy in a life cycle perspective, the environmental impacts, effects of choice of material and the recycling potential. The calculated energy need for operation (space heating, electricity, hot water) was in average 50 kWh/m2 floor area per year. Simulations were made with four electricity mixes. For a

In this work we present a new low-power medium access scheme for sensor-type networks specifically with low traffic intensity. We call the proposed scheme DCW-MAC where ultra-low-power wake-up receivers are combined with optimal duty-cycled listening. First we introduce a framework for the analysis of energy consumption of the studied network type, then we use it to optimize the MAC scheme to achi

Spatial data and related technologies, particularly Geographical Information System (GIS) with the capability of display, retrieval, analysis and management of spatial data, have proven crucial for disaster management. However, there are currently different problems with availability, access and usage of spatial data for disaster management. The problems with spatial data become more serious durin
