In this paper some findings from a pilot study regarding the use of risk- and vulnerability analysis in society's management of extreme events is presented. The study consisted of two major parts. The first part was an interview study with the main objective to generate a preliminary overview of methods and procedures used by 9 selected Swedish governmental agencies in their risk- and crisis manag
There are more than eighty international agreements and many additional programmes dealing with technology transfer. Moreover, several international conventions require that aid programs, both to address acute emergencies and to assist in the longer-term building of viable infrastructures, be undertaken in specific and concrete ways. However, problems inevitably arise when good intentions are put
Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen undersöker tid (och evighet) i kyrka, naturvetenskap och teologi. Den utgör ett bidrag till dialogen mellan naturvetenskap och teologi samt till en rimlig teologisk förståelse av tid och evighet. Istället för att utgå ifrån olika filosofiskt definierade tidsbegrepp har jag valt att ställa relationsbegreppet i centrum. Inspirerad av den franske filosofen PaThe aim of this dissertation is to explore the possibilities of an adequate understanding of time by discussing concepts of time (and eternity) as they appear in church texts, theological thinking, and natural science from the Newtonian era to modern physics. Relationality, dynamics, multiplicity, and narrativity are suggested as indispensable dimensions of such an understanding. Inspired by P. R
A list of 94 species is presented including Bacidia subacerina and Lopadium disciforme as new for Slovenia and Bilimbia accedens, Lecanora leptyrodes, Megalaria grossa, Mycobilimbia epixanthoides, Rinodina efflorescens, and Sclerophora peronella as new for the alpine phytogeographical region of Slovenia.
Abstract in UndeterminedThe paper describes a magnetizing machine for producing permanent magnets of desired magnetization pattern by use of feedback control. This will in theory mean that an ideal magnetization pattern can be realized, what could be described as a perfect magnet. The machine is to be used for applications requiring high accuracy magnets in terms of the shape of the magnetized are
The molecular composition of the organic and inorganic matrices of bone undergoes alterations during maturation. The aim of this study was to compare Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and near-infrared (NIR) Raman microspectroscopy techniques for characterization of the composition of growing and developing bone from young to skeletally mature rabbits. Moreover, the specificity and differences of
