Studies on shading behaviour of contractors have in the past been focused on lack of product quality and other factors affecting the customer. This study of 222 publicly procured road and railroad projects aim to analyse shading behaviour from a perspective of workers safety. The study shows, though with limitations in statistical power, that the number of reported incidents related to workers’ sa

Artikeln diskuterar en föga uppmärksammad paradox inom etiken: Etiska teorier söker övervinna moralisk oenighet och bristande efterlevnad, men de lever på sitt misslyckande att åstadkomma detta. Om alla skulle handla efter universellt accepterade moraliska principer blev moralen ointressant. Kontraktsetiska teorier kan bidra till att förstå denna aspekt av etiken. Enligt dessa uppstår etiska probl

Modern capitalism favors values that undermine our face-to-face bonds with friends and family members. Focusing on the post-communist world, and comparing it to more "developed" societies, this book reveals the mixed effects of capitalist culture on interpersonal relationships. While most observers blame the egoism and asocial behavior found in new free-market societies on their communist pasts, t

This paper presents a low-complexity DDS IC for subcarrier processing in an FM-UWB transceiver. The IC implements data pre-filtering and FSK generation for the transmitter and quadrature LO signals generation for the receiver. The use of DDS techniques yields accurate signals whose parameters can be easily adjusted to accommodate a wide range of sub-carrier frequencies and bit rates. An interpolat

This dissertation is an analysis of the culture and lifestyle of women in the middle classes in small towns in southern Sweden between 1790 and 1870, from a gender perspective. The study builds on local material from Lund, Karlshamn and Kristianstad, and is principally made up of the private letters and diaries of a large number of people. The thesis attempts to shed light on relationships, values

The termination and cortical connections of the cervicothalamic tract (CTT) were studied by neuroanatomical tract tracing techniques in cats and ferrets. After injections of wheat germ agglutinin-horseradish peroxidase conjugate or biotinylated dextran amine (BDA) into the cat lateral cervical nucleus (LCN), the most abundant CTT termination is present in the ventral posterior lateral nucleus (VPL

Trepanations have been performed in many parts of theworld from the Late Stone Age u p to the present time.The "essence" of trepanations i s discussed from a Scan-dinavian viewpoint. Source-critical aspects, methodolog-ical questions and problems of representativeness aredealt with. The Swedish material exhibits strong maledominance during the Stone Age, Bronze Age and IronAge, whereas the Medieva

Få fenomen har varit föremål för så skiftande bedömningar genom historien som självmordet, den frivilliga döden. Sättet att hantera självmordsproblematiken speglar normer, värderingar och attityder, kort sagt den världsbild som präglar ett samhälle. I denna bok belyses självmordsproblematiken i ett historiskt perspektiv med fokus på det tidigmoderna svenska samhället. Hur var den mentala miljö utf

In this work we compare channel estimation algorithms for use in an iterative CDMA receiver in a block fading environment. The receiver consists of a soft multiuser data estimator, a bank of single user decoders, and a multiuser channel estimator. The multiuser data estimator is implemented as parallel interference canceler with unconditional post-MMSE filtering (PIC-MMSE) and the decoder is a sof
