Train evacuation inside a tunnel: An interview study with senior citizens and people with disabilities

An interview study was performed in order to reveal some of the problems associated with evacuation of a train inside a tunnel for senior citizens and people with disabilities, and to identify possible technical installations that would aid their evacuation. A total of 19 people took part in the study, in which it was demonstrated that senior citizens and people with disabilities require either a

Att (åter)skapa "det normala". Bröstoperationer och brännskador i plastikkirurgisk praktik

Vad är "det normala"? Vad ingår i detta mångtydiga och inflytelserika begrepp, och hur skapas och återskapas det? Den moderna plastikkirurgin ger oss möjlighet att modifiera våra kroppar - bota skador och rätta till brister. Denna möjlighet kan också uppfattas som ett krav och ett hot, och medicinens dubbla roll som frälsare och förtryckare går som en röd tråd genom boken. Var går gränsen mellan

Measurement of the Generalized Forward Spin Polarizabilities of the Neutron

The generalized forward spin polarizabilities 0 and LT of the neutron have been extracted for the first time in a Q2 range from 0.1 to 0.9 GeV2. Since 0 is sensitive to nucleon resonances and LT is insensitive to the resonance, it is expected that the pair of forward spin polarizabilities should provide benchmark tests of the current understanding of the chiral dynamics of QCD. The new results on

Improving oxygen concentration control in activated sludge process with estimation of respiration and scheduling control

The paper presents an efficient and simple model-based method of on-line estimation of respiration from the current values of dissolved oxygen concentration and airflow signals. Fast estimation of respiration is important because respiration appears as the most important disturbance signal in the control of dissolved oxygen concentration, and could therefore be used for improving control efficienc

Charged Polymers: From DNA to Polyampholytes

Popular Abstract in Swedish Polymerer är långa kedjeliknande molekyler som är vanligt förekommande i naturen och även i många tekniska sammanhang. I lösning är polymerer ofta laddade. De kallas för polyelektrolyter om de har en sorts laddning och polyamfolyter om de har både positiva och negativa laddningar. Exempelvis så är DNA och RNA polyelektrolyter medan proteiner är polyamfolyter. Mitt arbetThree main themes are outlined in this thesis: Polyelectrolytes/DNA : In a living cell, DNA molecules have a compact conformation in order to fit in, while in a test tube they will take on an expanded cylindrical shape, due to the negative phosphate groups along the DNA molecule. With the help of computer simulations it has been shown that like-charged monomers of a poly- electrolyte can attract

Automotive Electromagnetic Compatibility - Prediction and Analysis of Parasitic Components in Conductor Layouts

The electronics in the automotive industry is facing a new era where safety critical functions are electrified, as for example drive-by-wire technology. At the same time as the number of electrical loads in the vehicles is increasing, the time to market is decreasing. Full scale prototypes of a vehicle are often only available at a late stage in the development process where changes are rather cos

Strategies for evaluation of housing adaptations - Accessibility, usability and ADL dependence

Popular Abstract in Swedish Bostadsanpassning är en vanlig åtgärd inom kommunal service och rehabilitering. Avsikten är att ta bort fysiska miljöhinder i bostaden och den nära utemiljön för underlätta vardagliga aktiviteter och möjliggöra ett självständigt liv. Enligt svensk plan- och bygglagstiftning skall alla bostäder som byggs eller genomgår omfattande renoveringar vara tillgängliga och användHousing adaptation is a common intervention, in Sweden granted by municipal authorities, and performed in order to remove environmental barriers and enhance daily activities. In spite of increasing costs, efficient strategies for evaluation of the intervention are lacking. In this thesis, occupational therapy clients living in a south Swedish municipality and receiving housing adaptation grants we

The Elusive Appearance of Time

It is widely assumed that time appears to be tensed, i.e. divided into a future, present and past, and transitory, i.e. involving some kind of ‘flow’ or ‘passage’ of times or events from the future into the present and away into the distant past. In this paper I provide some reasons to doubt that time appears to be tensed and transitory, or at least that philosophers who have suggested that time a

Touchdowns in winespeak: ontologies and construals in use and meaning-making

The aim is to analyze wine descriptions in a lexical semantic framework that is capable of accounting for generalizations and explanations of use and meaning-making in general as well as in text genres such as wine tasting notes. The model is Lexical meaning as ontologies and construals (Paradis 2005), LOC for short, within the broader framework of Cognitive Semantics. Two touchdowns are made. The

Nordisk språkförståelse idag

The chapter gives a short description of the INS-investigation, its methods and results. The investigation tested 1800 pupils in secondary education in the three Scandinavian languages and English. The results show that youngsters in the Nordic countries are better at understanding English than their neighbouring languages. The results also indicate a deterioration in the comprehension of neighbou
