As public transport is becoming more reliant on digitalizing services, by for example using apps to sell tickets and provide information, it is important for policy to study how this influences customer perceived service quality and satisfaction. In addition, as public transport is viewed as a more environmentally benign form of transportation it also becomes important to monitor how environmental

This thesis will explore Roman religion of the imperial time from 29 BCE until the 370’s CE as an alternative lens to enhance the academic discourse on political religion. As a case study, Marxism-Leninism which was the guiding ideology of the former German Democratic Republic (GDR) will be analysed. According to Emilio Gentile, a political religion is characterised by six criteria. It shall be (1

High entropy alloys (HEA) containing Al and Cr have been observed to manifestimpressive dry air oxidation resistance. But the testing temperature attempted inthe previous works has been restricted up to 1050ºC. In the present work AlxCoCrFeNi HEAs (x=0,0.3,0.6,1 mole) synthesized by arc melting route have beensubjected to rigorous dry air oxidation test up to 1150ºC. The as cast HEAs withx=0 and x

Humans and animals communicate with rhythmic behaviours that vary greatly in terms of temporal parameters and patterns. In this chapter we discuss the neuromuscular architecture underlying rhythmic behaviours and address factors that constrain their rhythmic properties. In Part I of the chapter we provide background regarding the building blocks of rhythmic communication from the muscles to the br

The rapid progression of the electrification of road transport in many countries urges the need to make informed decisions on the location and size of the required charging infrastructure. This paper’s main contribution is a novel method to position fast-charging stations based on the transportation energy demand and to evaluate the performance of such charging infrastructure. Depending on their r

Small modular reactors (SMRs) have become part of the solution for futurefossil-free energy systems. Compared to traditional nuclear power plants (NPPs), risks are different and additional actors are involved. The aim of this paper is to analyse key actors’ understanding of emergency preparedness for SMRs in Sweden. Emergency preparedness is an active, continuous and integrated process involving a

With population aging, more adults across Europe face competing demands of working for pay and caring for elderly family members. Associated tradeoffs are expected to be negative, gendered, and vary across contexts with different levels of gender equality, public support for eldercare, and work-family balance. Using SHARE data from 2004–20, this study investigates how unpaid caregiving to independ

Konstruktiv länkning, studentaktivitet och föreläsningar är tre grundstenar i högre utbildning. Men föreläsningen som undervisningsform har kritiserats: ”Det finns gott om högskolepedagogisk litteratur som förklarar varför föreläsningen är olämplig för att stimulera lärande. Ändå fortsätter vi föreläsa”, skriver Andreas Håkansson (2017, s. 40) i en artikel som trots allt landar i att denna undervi

Despite being such an important factor for individual identity, the Orthodox churches have not been sufficiently studied. In addition, the study of gender in these churches often seems formed by the impression that they do not change. This article therefore explores a seeming static feature, the gendered seating in three Syriac Orthodox parishes in Sweden from the point of view of space and agency

This chapter calls for policy tools to address gentrification and displacement through one of the most recently discussed and complex lenses of gentrification: green and climate gentrification. Those processes are directly related to residential physical and sociocultural displacement and insecure housing conditions - with demonstrated health impacts - among socially or racially underprivileged re

Since the rise of radical geography in the early 1970s, political economy has been crucial in examining the spatial dynamics of capital in economic geography. Marxist and non-Marxist (particularly institutionalist) economic geographers use political economy to challenge non-political economy approaches that ignore the relationship between microeconomic processes and their spatial manifestations an

Cities with limited traditions in cycle planning often look to Northern European cities as role models, adopting their design concepts and infrastructure solutions. However, experience indicates that transferring such designs across different contexts can be challenging. In many cases, cycle paths have been constructed but remain underutilized. This chapter presents the findings of a study examini

This article is about finding the limit set for banded Toeplitz matrices. Our main result is a new approach to approximate the limit set Λ(b), where b is the symbol of the banded Toeplitz matrix. The new approach is geometrical and based on the formula Λ(b) = ∩ρ∊(0, ∞) sp T (bρ), where ρ is a scaling factor, i.e., bρ(t):= b(ρt), and sp(∙) denotes the spectrum. We show that the full intersection ca

Currently, local regulations governing hydrogen installations vary by geographical region and by country, leading to discrepancies in safety and separation distance requirements for similar hydrogen systems. This work carried out in the frame of IEA TCP H2 Task 43 (IEA TCP H2 2022) aims to provide an overview of various methodologies and recommendations established for risk management and conseque

This book attempts to reconstruct elementary physics in full compliance with reason, thus continuing the work of philosophers (experimental and mathematical) throughout the centuries. The unabridged Newton's mechanics is recovered, Gauss intuitions about relational electromagnetism are developed and completed and Schrödingers undulatory quantum theory is reproposed, unifying all three theories in
