12. Storage Stability and Phase Separation Behaviour of Polymer-Modified Bitumen : Characterization and Modelling
Sammanfattning : Polymer-modified bitumen (PMB) is a high-performance material for road construction and maintenance. But its storage stability and phase separation behaviour are still not sufficiently understood and need to be studied toward a more successful and sustainable application of PMB. LÄS MER

Previous research has shed significant light on how public policies diffuse across governments over time, but there is little understanding of why they diffuse. The answer may lie in the motivations of early adopters. LÄS MER

15. Medlemmar och medborgare : Föreningsdeltagande och politiskt engagemang i det etnifierade samhället
Sammanfattning : What is the political significance of affiliation with voluntary associations for people with and without foreign backgrounds in Sweden?

Or does it rather aggravate the political marginalisation of people with foreign backgrounds? This thesis is based on two large-scale surveys that have been designed explicitly to deal with questions of this sort. It is shown that there are substantial differences in associational affiliation between people with and without foreign backgrounds. LÄS MER
