Trapezoidal cross sections are often used as main longitudinal load-bearing systems in steel-concrete composite bridges. A critical design stage for these girders occurs during casting of the bridge deck, when the non-composite steel section must support the entire construction load, including the wet concrete. A research work was undertaken to study lateral torsional buckling (LTB) capacity and s
In this paper I investigate a particular case of cross-Germanic variation, namely a number of syntactic differences with respect to VP Topicalization, VP Ellipsis and VP Pronomi-nalization. Swedish and English turn out to be the two extremes, with Danish and Norwegaian in between; Icelandic is like Swedish, but lacks the possibility to topicalize VP. Arguments are given for the analysis that the s
This paper reports a case study of leadership processes and the creation of quality assurance routines within a newly formed large department (approximately 260 employees) at a major Swedish university. The study focuses on social actions taken by two assistant heads of departments and twelve assistant directors of study and shows how the two assistant heads of department used listening dialogue a

To compete on a globalized market companies need to constantly improve the performance in their manufacturing systems. Production performance measures can be used for different purposes, by practitioners they are commonly used for follow-up and reporting purposes. Two of the most commonly used performance measures are Overall Equipment Efficiency (OEE) and productivity. Between these two productiv
The concept of topology has become a cornerstone in the project of widening the ontological register in both ANT and human geography. The seminal starting point has for many years been ‘Regions, networks and fluids’ by Annemarie Mol and John Law from 1994, an article that for instance influenced John Urry’s outline of a global complexity. In the article, two familiar topologies, the region and the
Coordination is an important success factor for a development project. Communication gaps, e.g. between product owners shaping the requirements and testers verifying the developed software can result in wasted effort and unsuccessful products. We propose improving the communication between project members with recommendations of whom to interact with and what to discuss based on link prediction in
