A computer aided action research method for design of work places is presented. A project group of researchers, managers, union representatives, supervisors, shop-floor workers and representatives from the health-and-safety department analyse different aspects of the physical and organizational work environment. Factory layouts and the flow of raw materials and goods, truck routes and overhead cra

The present international standards for safety, protective and occupational footwear EN ISO 20344 – 20347 classify footwear as cold protective by a pass/fail test where the limits are set for an allowed 10 °C temperature drop inside the footwear at a sole location during 30 minutes at a temperature gradient of about 40 °C. In a test of five footwear including a summer sandal it was shown that all

When low calorific value gases are fired, the performance and stability of gas turbines may deteriorate due to a large amount of inert ballast and changes in working fluid properties. Since it is rather rare to have custom-built gas turbines for low Lower Heating Value (LHV) operation, the engine will be forced to operate outside its design envelope. This, in turn, poses limitations to usable fuel

Vi tänker gärna på läsning som något vi gör i avskildhet med en bok eller tidning i händerna. Men numera möts vi ständigt av texter var vi än är: i hemmet, på tunnelbanan, på jobbet, på Internet. Och texterna består vanligtvis av flera olika element. Det är löptext, bilder, grafik, listor, citat, länkar etc. Vår textvärld har förändrats radikalt och läsningen med den, men vi lever fortfarande kvar

En studie i ett svartsynt motiv hos Eva Neander.

Low complexity plant models are essential for model based control design. Often a detailed high order model is available and simplification to a low order approximative model is needed. This paper presents a case study of two model reduction methodologies applied on the automotive engine air path. The first methodology is based on balanced truncation of models obtained by linearization around equi

Introduction Chronic rejection (CHR) of organ allografts, one of the most significant problems in modern transplantation, is not fully understood. This study sought to evaluate the influence of selected parameters on late kidney transplant function. Patients and Method The studied group consisted of eighty-six patients who received allogeneic transplants between 1988 and 1999 for leukocyte Chlam

Rättfärdigande av krig har i alla tider varit ett centralt inslag i internationell politik. Kan militärt våld rättfärdigas? För vilka ändamål kan militära interventioner legitimeras? Hur rättfärdigas humanitära interventioner? Med vilka etiska kriterier försvaras krigen i Afghanistan, Irak och Israel-Palestina? Dessa är några av de många intressanta frågor som behandlas i denna bok. Antologin utg

In Psalms evil is usually existential and victim-orientated. Suffering is not a theoretical problem but an experienced reality. Consequently, two aspects of the modern so-called theodicy problem are in focus. (1) The role of the God of the petitioner: How does God engage with evil? What does God do to overcome it? Beside this practical aspect we can detect a more theoretical question: (2) Is suffe

Varför börjar man läsa arkeologi? Intresse, fascination elller en strategisk yrkesutbildning? Utbildningspolitiska mål har styrt utformningen av utbildningen under de senaste 40 åren. En diskussion förs i vad mån detta har styrt innehållet i utbildningen. I takt med att arkeologiämnet förändrat sina kunskapsteoretiska perspektiv har också innehåll och kunskapssyn förändrats. Politiska visioner sty
