Radiation dosimetry and cancer risk estimations are central to virtually all radiation safety applications, optimization, and research. These estimates relate to various exposure situations including planned, existing, and emergency situations. The International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) has developed a new methodology to handle the dosimetry of an acute/single intake of radionu

High energy prices recently have moved nuclear power back into the limelight. The biggest risk of nuclear industry has been large-scale accidents that give rise to ground deposition of long-lived fission products such as 137Cs, notably Chernobyl in 1986 (Ukraine) and Fukushima in 2011 (Japan). In Japan, extensive land remediation of residential areas was carried out at an estimated direct cost bet

Byggnader är en central komponent i 3D stadsmodeller. Att skapa sådana modeller enligt relevant standard är inte alltid enkelt och kan vara tidskrävande. Den här studien undersöker en metod att skapa byggnadsmodeller utifrån the svenska nationella specifikationen (NS) för byggnader, i en detaljnivå (LOD) som inkluderar takform. Metoden utvärderar hur byggnadsytor (registerbyggnad) tillsammans med

I al Hol och al Roj-lägren i nordöstra Syrien hålls kvinnor och barn med misstänkta kopplingar till terroristgruppen Islamiska Staten frihetsberövade under prekära humanitära- och säkerhetsförhållanden. Representanter för Förenta nationerna (FN) har likställt förhållandena med tortyr eller omänsklig eller förnedrande behandling eller bestraffning. I början av 2021 uppmanade FN stater att ta hem (rIn the al Hol and al Roj camps in the north-eastern parts of the Syrian Arab Republic, women and children allegedly affiliated with the terrorist group the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant are detained in precarious humanitarian and security conditions that have been equated with torture or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment by the United Nations. In early 2021, the United Nat

Members have traditionally played a central role in civil society organisations (CSOs) since they typically are the ones who decide upon the course of the organisation and carry out organisational activities. However, with organisations becoming more professionalised, concerns have been raised about the future role of members. Previous research point to different consequences on membership due to

Annually laminated (varved) sediments provide opportunities to reconstruct climate change and human impact on the environment with high temporal resolution. Depending on the character of the varves, such sediments can provide insight into the delivery of both autochthonous and allochthonous material from the lake and its catch- ment and answer questions regarding both regional and local responses

Thesis purpose: The purpose of this research is to extend the concept of customer loyalty by applying it to a pharmacy retail setting using the perspective and understanding of both pharmacy professionals and consumers in order to comprehend which factors influence loyalty construction in this sector as opposed to in other retail industries. Theoretical perspective: This study focuses on survey

Forest ecosystems provide a wide range of services necessary for maintaining environmental health and human well-being. Ecosystem models help inform how various management strategies respond in different regions to changing climate conditions. They contribute to mitigation and adaptation policy measures and support private forest owners in deciding ideal practices to implement. The complex nature

Since its inception, the discipline of sociology has struggled to bridge the gap between structure and agency. How is it that individuals can be free whilst also part of a larger context that determines their actions? This study aims to make a small contribution towards solving this conundrum. It departs from the theories of Habermas, Arendt and Machiavelli, and ventures into an archival study of

Bird flight behaviors have been an interesting topic for many years, among which researchers have focused mostly on detailed aerodynamics of flight and more general aspects such as migration strategies. The recent development of accelerometers which could be easily attached to animals has speeded up the investigation of animal movements. Different behaviors could be categorized, and energy consump
