This thesis examines a community‐based approach to promoting cycling, suggesting that a top‐down approach of infrastructure and facilities should be complemented by a bottom‐up approach by the community to help address complex behavioural norms inherent in transport modal choice. The research hinges on the framing of cycling as culture – a holistic yet heterogeneous activity – and the idea that de

By studying various theories about civil disobedience, five requirements have been developed for civil disobedience to be considered legitimate. The purpose with this paper is to see if the two networks Anti-Fascist Action (AFA) and the Revolutionary Front (RF) lives up to these criteria and therefore are legitimate in their actions. The study is done with ideology analysis of AFA:s and RF:s own w

A small wind power plant connected to the grid has been modeled in Modelica/ Dymola and controlled using external controllers written in C++. The small wind power plant consists of three wind power units with a nominal power of 3kW and one grid connection interconnected with an internal DCgrid. All the controls needed for control and optimization for the operation of the individual parts in the pl

När domstolar beslutar om vilket straff en gärningsman ska få för ett visst brott måste de först bedöma brottets straffvärde. En grundläggande ideologi i det svenska straffsystemet är att straffet ska stå i proportion till brottets svårighetsgrad. Vid beaktandet av straffvärdet ska rättstillämparna enligt 29 kap. 1 § BrB bland annat ta hänsyn till den skada, kränkning eller fara som gärningen inne

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Arsenik finns överallt i naturen och släpps även ut genom industrier. Det är ett klassiskt gift som färgat historien, men som även använts inom medicin. Arsenik är det enda kemiska cancerogena ämne som ger hudcancer vid förtäring. Det har även använts inom industrin under en lång tid, och deponering av arsenikhaltigt material kommer att orsaka stora miljöproblem.Arsenic is present everywhere in the world. It is found in the bedrock and is discharged by industries. Differents forms of arsenic varies in toxicity, the inorganic form is much more toxic then the organic form. The inorganic form is most common in drinking water and groundwater, meanwhile the inorganic form can occasionally be found in reasonable large quantities in fish and seafood. Today milli

I den här uppsatsen undersöker vi vilka utmaningar sju svenska kommuner har stött på i sitt arbete med sociala medier. Genom intervjuer med tolv personer som arbetar med information och kommunikation i sina respektive kommuner har det framkommit ett antal utmaningar som har analyserats genom ett neoinstitutionellt perspektiv. Neoinstitutionalismen förklarar hur organisationer agerar för att anses

Climate change poses a serious challenge to sustainable urban development, placing many cities at risk. Climatic conditions are changing to such an extent that the capacity of urban institutions and associated governance systems to deal with climatic extremes and variability is being reduced. New approaches for urban climate change adaptation are thus urgently needed. There is an increasing conse

The 16O(gamma,pn) reaction has been measured with a resolution high enough to resolve individual low-lying states in the residual 14N nucleus. The relative population of the states provides detailed information about the quantum numbers of the proton-neutron pairs on which photons are absorbed. Partial cross-sections, available to the acceptance of the detector system, have been extracted for the
