Hamnar har i alla tider varit betydelsefulla för handel, sjöfart, fiske och därmed som plats för möten av allehanda slag. Tillgång till kust och hav har större värde än någonsin och används numera i hög utsträckning för att marknadsföra städer. Många centrala frågor blir tydliga i diskussionerna kring hur hamnar ska användas och fungera som mötesplatser. Det finns många föreställningar om hur man
Various approaches are presented in the literature to identify fault-prone components. The approaches represent a wide range of characteristics and capabilities, but they are not comparable, since different aspects are compared and different data sets are used. In order to enable a consistent and fair comparison, we propose a classification scheme, with two parts, 1) a characterisation scheme whic
Efterfrågan på mycket kvalificerad arbetskraft har ökat och uppmärksammat regeringen på behovet av att utveckla utbildning för de mest högpresterande eleverna i skolan. Skolverket bedriver på uppdrag av regeringen sedan 2009 försöksverksamhet med riksrekryterande spetsutbildning inom matematik och naturvetenskapliga, samhällsvetenskapliga och humanistiska ämnen. Verksamheten omfattar totalt 20 utb
Numerical simulations coupled with LDV experiments were carried out to investigate a slot jet issued into a cross flow, which is relevant in the film cooling of gas turbine combustors. The film cooling fluid injection from slots or holes into a cross-flow produces highly complicated flow fields. In this paper, the time-averaged Navier-Stokes equations were solved on a collocated body-fitted grid s
Popular Abstract in Swedish I början av 1980-talet rökte ungefär var tredje gravid kvinna i Sverige. Detta innebar att rökning under graviditet var lika vanligt förekommande som rökning bland den vuxna befolkningen i övrigt. Sedan dess har rökningen bland gravida minskat markant och idag är det ungefär 10-12% som röker vid inskrivningen på mödravårdscentralen. Rökning under graviditet är en av deA smoking cessation program targeting pregnant women and their partners was monitored during 17 years and subjected to several substudies. All women in Blekinge, who gave birth in the months of September during the period 1984 to 2000, were asked to fill out a questionnaire, anonymously, about their smoking habits before and during pregnancy. During these years a long-term educational programme co
The Helicobacter genus now consists of at least 26 species, with additional novel species in the process of being validated. Beyond the impact of H. pylori and human health, considerable research has focused on other Helicobacter species isolated from humans and animals and the associated natural diseases that range from subclinical inflammation to cancer in the gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary
Climate change and disasters are among today’s most pressing issues. The damage caused by the worldwide increase in disasters is staggering, with the urban poor being most at risk. Disasters make their already precarious living conditions worse, creating a vicious circle of poverty. More and more attention has thus been given to the need to address changing climatic conditions and disaster risk th
Empirical methods are important in software engineering. It is important to be able to evaluate new techniques and methods in a structured way before they are introduced in the software process. This paper presents how empirical methods may be taught by letting students take part in the execution and analysis of empirical investigations in projects. The projects that the students carry out include
The work described in this thesis represents a biophysical approach, mainly using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, to investigate the impact of magnesium ions on the EF-hand calcium-binding proteins calmodulin and calbindin D9k, as well as the dynamics of these proteins at low calcium levels. The x-ray structure of magnesium-saturated calbindin D9k shows a magnesium ion in only one o
Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingen är en studie av hur energianvändning och luftföroreningar i Polen, Estland, Lettland och Litauen har förändrats under övergången till marknadsekonomi efter 1989. Avhandlingen består av sex artiklar, vilka behandlar tre aspekter av dessa förändringar. I de tre första artiklarna analyseras energistrukturen i de baltiska länderna Artikel I) och Polen (ArtikelThis thesis is a study of how energy use and air pollution in Poland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania have been affected by the economic transition after 1989. It consists of six articles, which examine three different aspects of these changes. The first group of articles analyses the structure of energy use in the Baltic states (Article I) and Poland Articles II and III) at the outset of transitio
The purpose of this paper is to briefly discuss the rationale for using Student Response Systems (SRS) and to share our experience of using this teaching technology in a training session. Our experiences support existing pedagogical research and show that SRS can be used to transform traditionally passive lecture-based classes into stimulating, active learning environments. Students demonstrate be
