Design of Voice Alarms-the Benefit of Mentioning Fire and the Use of a Synthetic Voice

Preliminary results from a study about voice alarms are presented in this paper. The purpose of the study is to explore both how messages should be worded and how they should be presented. The paper focuses on an introductory questionnaire study at an IKEA store and unannounced evacuation experiments at Lund University. The results of these activities suggest that it is preferable to mention the w

Competitive Advantage Through Packaging Design? Propositions for Supply Chain Effectiveness and Efficiency

Packaging is becoming increasingly important from a marketing as well as logistics perspective, particularly for actors in consumer product supply chains. However, the role of packaging in creating or contributing to the competitive advantage of a company or a whole supply chain is still unexplored to a large extent. This is even the case in businesses where research has shown the benefits of cons

Impact of environmental exposure on concrete strength in highway bridges in Uganda

Deterioration of concrete structures is a worldwide problem. Environmental exposure is known to affect concrete strength in structures. While moisture affects rebound values by lowering them, carbonation does the opposite. The aim of the study was to determine the in-situ concrete strength of three bridge elements, namely, pier, abutment and deck and evaluate the environmental conditions such as m

A Model for Multi-Stakeholder Partnerships on Human Rights in Tourism

This paper presents a model for corporate social responsibility (CSR) created to integrate human rights issues in sustainable tourism, through public-private partnerships between the industry, non-governmental organisations (NGOs)and international governmental organisations (IGOs). The experience with the model in practice is described in a case study presenting a voluntary code of conduct adopted

Blandade känslor. Bisexuella kvinnors praktik och politik

Avhandlingen undersöker bisexuella kvinnors praktiker i de maktrelationer som reglerar föreställningar om kön/genus, kroppar och sexualitet. Det är den första fördjupade studien om bisexuella liv i Sverige och fyller ett glapp inom kritisk queerforskning och feministiska studier. Syftet är att dokumentera och undersöka föreställningar om kön och sexualitet i vardagslivet och i kunskapsproduktionen

Nonergodic dye-to-semiconductor electron transfer

The dominating part of electron injection from the transition metal complex Ru(dcbpy)2(NCS)2 into a titanium dioxide nanocrystalline film proceeds extremely rapidly from the initially populated, vibronically nonthermalized, singlet excited state of the molecule. Ultrafast transient absorption measurements with laser pulses of the order of ~30 fs have been performed

Det finns inga enkla svar

The essays collected in the present publication deal with personality psychology viewed in a process perspective, termed perceptgenesis from the vantage point of perception and microgenesis when neuroscience is involved. The perceptgenetic approach was tried in Lund already in the middle of the 20th century. One fruitful field of application was clinical diagnostics defence mechanisms being a majo

Teknologers förståelse av centrala begrepp i en kemiteknikkurs

Under första terminen på kemiteknik-programmet läser teknologerna matematik, kemi och kemiteknik. Kemiteknik är ett helt nytt ämne för teknologerna jämfört med de övriga. Den beräkningsmässiga delen av kemitekniken läses under 2 läsperioder. Ett didaktiskt projekt[1] har utförts där teknologernas förståelse av grundläggande begrepp undersöktes med hjälp av intervjuer vid två tillfällen under kurse

Optimum beamformers for uniform circular arrays in a correlated signal environment

By virtue of their geometry, uniform circular arrays (UCAs) are ideally suited to provide 360 degrees of coverage in the azimuthal plane. However, in a correlated signal environment, the well-known technique of spatial smoothing to mitigate the signal cancellation effect as seen in an optimum beamformer will not work since this technique is applicable only to uniform linear arrays. We show how the

Smugglingsbrott som ekonomisk och organiserad brottslighet - Rättspolitik, rättsregler, rättstillämpning

The point of departure of the dissertation is crime committed when doing cross-border transactions concerning otherwise legal products. The crimes in focus are such which can be described as more organised than everyday crime – but not as organised as required by the widely used and discussed concept of organised crime. From there, a discussion, based on criminal politics, criminal law, crime and
