Emergency management practice can be supported by ICT in many ways, and numerous ICT-based systems are available that offer support in the different phases of emergency management. Yet, many such systems do not provide as much support to emergency management as expected or wished for. In some situations they may even compromise emergency management performance, due to suboptimal adaptation to the

När man analyserar uppfattningen om globala miljörisker genom att bygga på undersökningar kring allmänhetens rankningar av risker står man inför flera typer av tolkningsproblem, vilket den genomförda analysen visar. Även om man använder väl definierade kvantitativa metoder så återstår metodologiska problem, såsom Galtons problem kring mikro- och makroanalyser, tolkningsproblem kring representativi

Transnational stardom, in the sense that particular star actors constitute a genuine draw for audiences in other European countries than that of the film’s origin, appears an increasingly rare thing within the continent’s cinema. In short, a transnational star system is wanting. Had it existed, more attractive films would most undoubtedly be a reality. Furthermore, with such a system in place film

Software developers in large projects work in complex information landscapes, and staying on top of all relevant software artifacts is challenging. As software systems often evolve for years, a high number of issue reports is typically managed during the lifetime of a system. Efficient management of incoming issue requires successful navigation of the information landscape. In our work, we address

Popular Abstract in English Since 1947 when the first transistor was invented, electronics was transited into an unprecedented era. Different from a resistor that only has two terminals with the applied voltage and flowing current always obeying Ohm's law, a transistor has the third terminal in between, called "gate", which is made by, for metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETThe emerging nanowire technology in recent years has attracted an increasing interest for high-speed, low-power electronics due to the possibility of a gate-all-around (GAA) geometry enabling aggressive gate length scaling, together with the ease in incorporating high-mobility narrow band gap III-V semiconductors such as InAs on Si substrates. These benefits make vertical nanowire transistors an a

Publisher Summary: This chapter discusses two major developments that have taken place over the past decade. First is the enormous wealth of energy band calculations that have had tremendous success in explaining the properties of specific solids, but in which the connection with first principles is not always apparent. Second is the spectacular progress of many-body theory applied to the solid st

Hur kan man förklara att det finns familjer som befinner sig i välfärdens utkant? Vad vet vi egentligen om de barn och familjer som lever mitt ibland oss, men utan tillgång till ett tryggt boende? Hur upplever de drabbade barnen situationen? Barn utan hem belyser frågan om barn och familjer i hemlöshet ur olika perspektiv. Författarna lyfter fram de grupper som ställts utanför såväl arbetsmarknad

Abstract in Romanian Un om al cetăţii şi al recluziunii, interesat să ştie ce se întâmplă în lume, fără să-şi piardă nici un moment contactul cu fiinţa supremă de la care purced toate câte sunt, Valeriu Anania i-a oferit exegetului prilejul de a studia traseul unui destin excepţional. Bibliografia operei, referinţele despre autor, aparatul critic relevă pasiunea cu care cercetătorul s-a aplecat înThe present study Valeriu Anania : A Monographic Study represents a first systematised attempt to depict the most relevant aspects of the intellectual Bartolomeu Valeriu Anania’s personality. We shall mainly focus on his position as a writer, but, complementarily, on that of theologian as well. We structured our thesis formally according to the criteria of a monographic study, following, in distin
