1. 6. Towards an efficient use of infrastructure and the built environment : Essays in transport and housing economics

   Författare :Lina Jonsson; Fastighetsvetenskap; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Hedonic pricing; Noise; Railway traffic; Road traffic; Congestion pricing; Acceptability; Road user charging; Political Economy; Railway; Marginal cost; Accident probability; Level crossings; Housing Economics; Property tax;

   Sammanfattning : All four papers in the thesis share a common theme: how to achieve an efficient use of infrastructure and the built environment. In the presence of externalities, pricing according to the (short-run) marginal cost is one answer on how this can be achieved and the first two papers estimates parts of the marginal cost of traffic.

3. 7. Authority-based argumentative strategies : Three models for their evaluation

   Författare :Taeda Jovičić [Tomic]; Krister Segerberg; Frederick Stoutland; Douglas Walton; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Philosophy; argumentative strategies; reasoning and social aspects of argumentative activities; argumentative groups; audience groups; acceptability; effectiveness; challenge; evaluation; authority; dialectic; rhetoric; pragma-dialectics; logic of dialogue; profiles of dialogue; Filosofi; Philosophy subjects; Filosofiämnen; Theoretical Philosophy; Teoretisk filosofi;

   Sammanfattning : This dissertation is on argumentative strategies based on authority. In its first half, three of the most elaborate and influential approaches in argumentation theory, related to the models developed in this work, are analyzed: Douglas Walton's dialectical frame for analysis of arguments from expert opinion; Frans van Eemeren and Peter Houtlosser's pragma-dialectical approach to strategic maneuvering in argumentation; the concept of strategy used in Else Barth and Erik Krabbe's formal dialectics.

   Sammanfattning : This dissertation is concerned with extraction from adjunct clauses in Swedish and English. The topic is of interest because adjunct clauses are traditionally considered to be strong islands for extraction across languages (the Adjunct Condition). LÄS MER

5. 9. Vibrations in Lightweight Buildings - Perception and Prediction

   Författare :Juan Negreira; Teknisk akustik; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Psycho-vibratory evaluation; Vibrations; Timber floors; Lightweight; Measurements; Serviceability criteria; Vibration annoyance; Vibration acceptability; Elastomer; Finite element method; Prediction Tools.;

   Sammanfattning : When the Swedish construction code (in 1994) allowed wooden multi-storey buildings to be built, this type of lightweight construction became popular due to its low cost and ease of construction, and also because wood is a plentiful resource in Sweden. Drawbacks in such buildings are disturbing vibrations and noise propagating in the construction, especially through junctions. LÄS MER

7. 10. Vibroacoustic performance of wooden buildings : Prediction and Perception

   Författare :Juan Negreira; Teknisk akustik; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Prediction tools; Low frequency vibrations; Vibroacoustics; Wooden buildings; Impact sound insulation; Finite element method; Vibration measurements; Flanking transmission; Elastomers; Design indicators; Vibration acceptability; Vibration annoyance; MEMS accelerometers;

   Sammanfattning : When the Swedish building regulations in 1994 allowed wooden multi-storey buildings to be built, this type of lightweight construction became popular due to its low cost and ease of construction, as well as wood being a plentiful resource in Sweden. However, complaints amid inhabitants are often reported due to nuisances caused by disturbing vibrations and noise propagating in the building. LÄS MER
