More or Less about Data - Analyzing Load Demand in Residential Houses

Load demand in residential houses is a significant contributor to peak load problems experienced by utilities. The knowledge about demand variation in households is fairly limited as well as the use of various tools to analyze the demand. Many utilities have recently installed interval (hourly) metering at their residential customers. The availability of hourly data is a significant progress, howe

Morphology of Polymers - Development of Electron Microscopy Methods

Most polymeric materials used today are not simple homopolymers, but consist of more than one polymer, which lead to morphologies of different length scale and shape. It is important to receive knowledge of the morphologies because the properties of the materials change depending on the structure. This thesis describes methods developed to study polymer morphologies by electron microscopy and also

Measuring the 'New Balance of Rights and Responsibilities' in Labor Market Policy A quantitative overview of activation strategies in 20 OECD countries

Labor market policies have been re-configured during the ´activation turn' in labor market policy-making in the 1990s. This included restricting behavioral requirements for job seekers and benefit claimants, but also improving services (e.g. better placement services). In a nutshell, the `rights and responsibilities' of jobseekers and labor market participants were re-balanced. To date, there is o

Electricity Supply Reliability: Evaluation of Improvement Solutions for Existing Electricity Networks

Regulation of the electricity network business is continuously under development in many countries. This is a reaction of an increasingly electricity dependent society, which demands electricity supplies at acceptable quality levels and at reasonable tariffs. Thus, electric network companies are facing new requirements that change the conditions for exercising network activities. Generally, incent

Depot neuroleptic maintenance treatment: clinical, pharmacological and neuropsychological aspects

Popular Abstract in Swedish Underhållsbehandling med neuroleptika minskar risken för nya skov av schizofreni. Ofta har patienter med kronisk psykos bristande sjukdomsinsikt och är därmed dåligt motiverade att följa medicinordinationer (bristande compliance). I sådana fall kan injektionsbehandling med depå-neuroleptika vara ett gott alternativ. Av de 89 patienter som behandlades med depåneuroleptikNeuroleptic maintenance treatment is effective to reduce the risk of further episodes of schizophrenia and other chronic psychoses, except affective. Lack of insight often lead to poor compliance to the prescripted medication. Then, neuroleptics might be given as depot injections. A group of chronic psychotic outpatients were assessed of clinical symptoms and side effects regularely during the th

Psykolog i skolan. 2nd ed.

Att det ska finnas en psykolog i skolans elevhälsa är numera lagstadgat. Att psykologen ska finnas tillgänglig för samtlig personal, alla elever och deras föräldrar i frågor som är skolrelaterade är mindre självklart. Skolpsykologers förutsättningar ser väldigt olika ut och det finns ett stort behov av fortsatt utveckling. Boken är reviderad för att spegla kraven i den nya skollagen samt även uppd

The materiality of encyclopedic information : Remediating a loved one – Mourning Britannica

Abstract in UndeterminedThis paper presents a qualitative thematic analysis of reader comments posted in connection to a series of articles published after Encyclopaedia Britannica’s announcement to forego its print edition. It shows how ideas of what information is, are entangled with ideas of what a certain medium is and does. Two research questions guide the analysis: 1) How are encyclopedias a

Adaptive flexibility in migratory behaviour of shorebirds

Popular Abstract in Swedish I århundranden har vi människor fascinerats av flyttfåglar och frågat oss vart de ska, var de kommer ifrån och hur de hittar. Idag, tack vare forskning, vet vi mer om fågelflyttning än någonsin, men det finns fortfarande mycket kvar att ta reda på. Vadare som häckar i Arktis är riktiga långflyttare med många arter som flyttar mer än 10 000 kilometer varje vår och höst oThe phenomenon of bird migration has long fascinated us humans and it has prompted questions like where do they go or come from and how do they find their way? Arctic shorebirds are well known for their spectacular long-distance migrations with some species travelling more than 10 000 km every spring and autumn, and some even cover this distance in one single nonstop flight. The aim of my thesis w

15-årsuppföljning av drogberoende personer.

En representativ sample drogberoende patienter på sjukhus 1988 - 89 (n=125) följdes upp vid 5 år och vid 15 år. Kliniska ata och utfallsdata registrerades vid indevårdtillfället och vid uppföljningarna med en semistrukturerad intervju omfattande demografiska karakteristika, kliniska diagnoser kompletterade med kliniska test och skattningsskalor. Registerdata används för validering och jämförelse.

Reflection, Lore and Acting : The Practitioner’s Approach

The article discusses how the practitioner’s – i. e. the actor’s − knowledge and experiences could form a base for artistic research. As an example the author uses actor Ann Petrén’s Master thesis and his own PhD. The author presents how the term lore could offer a useful concept to describe the different levels of bodily experiences, knowledges and even theories present in the actor’s work. The d

Hushållsel-Energieffektivisering i vardagen

Tre funktionsområden i vardagslivet har analyserats grundligt nämligen Hel och ren, Mätt och belåten samt Underhållning och information. Användningen av hushållsel har ökat från 9,2 med cirka 10 TWh under en tidsperiod på drygt tre decennier. Ökningen förklaras bland annat av att antalet hushåll har ökat, men även av att innehavet av apparater ökat i hushållen. Dessutom har användningsmönster kr
