  1. 11. On Parameter Identification for Better Predictions of Dam Behaviour

    Författare :Jasmina Toromanovic; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Geoteknik; Soil Mechanics;

    Sammanfattning : Numerical modelling is often needed as a tool to predict the behaviour and assess the safety of dam structures. Embankment dam structures analyses are quite complex and potential failures are hazardous. Predictions of dam behaviour by numerical modelling rely on knowledge about the mechanical properties of the materials the dam is constructed with. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : As the demographic is changing with the growth of the population of older citizens, concerns have been raised for this group in terms of mobility as well as traffic safety. In this context the automobile is an important means of transport. LÄS MER

  4. 13. Is the medium the message? : The impact of digital media on the newspaper concept

    Författare :Sara Leckner; Marko Turpeinen; Saara Taalas; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Newspaper publishing; newspaper industry; strategy; convergence; new media; digital media; electronic media; display technology; media technology; presentation-style; user interface; newspaper layout; reading behaviour; perception; newspaper consumption; consumer needs; Media and communication studies; Medie- och kommunikationsvetenskap;

    Sammanfattning : The impact of digital (new) media has caused both challenges and threats to newspapers’ continuing existence as a profitable and influential mass medium. While this is not the first time in history that new media appear to be challenging the future of the newspaper medium, from one perspective digital media offer not only direct competition, or alternative ways to produce and deliver news, but also possibilities for convergence, for making new media part of the traditional newspaper, inducing whole new possibilities for publishing.

  5. 14. Maternal behaviour, infanticide and welfare in enclosed European wild boars (Sus scrofa)

    Författare :Annelie Andersson; Per Jensen; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP;

    Sammanfattning : European wild boars (Sus scrofa) are kept in Swedish enclosures for hunting and meat production purposes. The sows are known to undergo behavioural changes in connection with farrowing and their natural behaviours may be compromised by the limited area of the enclosure. LÄS MER

  7. 15. Towards a broader use of phototesting : in research, clinical practice and skin cancer prevention

    Författare :Magnus Falk; Chris Anderson; Karin Wårdell; Olle Lärkö; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Phototesting; divergent beam; skin cancer prevention; self-reading; minimal erythema dose; sun protection behaviour; Dermatology and venerology; Dermatologi och venerologi;

    Sammanfattning : In western societies, skin cancer incidence has increased dramatically over recent decades, due predominantly to increased sun exposure habits. Ultraviolet (UV) light exposure and individual light sensitivity of the skin constitute two important factors affecting the risk for skin cancer development. LÄS MER
