  1. 21. Demanding Certainty : A Critical Examination of Swedish Spatial Planning for Safety

    Författare :Lina Berglund Snodgrass; Karl Bergman; Ylva Stubbergaard; Mattias Kärrholm; Blekinge Tekniska Högskola; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; safety; fear; public life; spatial planning; Sweden; agonistic theory; knowledge; gender; trygghet; rädsla; offentligt liv; fysisk planering; Sverige; agonistisk teori; kunskap; genus;

    Sammanfattning : This dissertation constitutes a critical examination of Swedish spatial planning for safety. Spatial planning for safety rests on a number of assumptions about the desired order of the world. These assumptions appear as given and unproblematic, making the formulation of alternatives appear unnecessary. LÄS MER

  3. 22. Dependability of IT Systems in Emergency Situations – Theory and Practice

    Författare :Kim Weyns; Institutionen för datavetenskap; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Dependability; IT Systems; Emergency Management; Markov Models; Sensitivity Analysis; Swedish Municipalities;

    Sammanfattning : As our dependence on IT systems increases, evaluating the dependability of critical IT systems becomes more important. One of the main challenges in software reliability engineering is the sensitivity of software systems to a changing usage. LÄS MER

  4. 23. Optimal Braking Patterns and Forces in Autonomous Safety-Critical Maneuvers

    Författare :Victor Fors; Lars Nielsen; Björn Olofsson; Jan Åslund; Mathias Lidberg; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

    Sammanfattning : The trend of more advanced driver-assistance features and the development toward autonomous vehicles enable new possibilities in the area of active safety. With more information available in the vehicle about the surrounding traffic and the road ahead, there is the possibility of improved active-safety systems that make use of this information for stability control in safety-critical maneuvers.

  5. 24. Nordiskt perspektiv på arkitektur: kritisk regionalisering i nordiska stadshus 1900-1955

    Författare :Gerd Bloxham; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; design process; Nordic architecture; architectural theory; town halls; architectural history; place-specificity; architectural competitions; historiographic methodology; critical regionalism;

    Sammanfattning : The author investigates the reception of main international currents in the Nordic countries as manifested in a specific building type, the town hall/municipal administration building, chosen as the constant necessary for an inter-Nordic, comparative analysis. This investigation has been attempted on two levels, one inductive and one deductive, in a 'double-focus' approach. LÄS MER

  7. 25. Exploring firefighters' health and wellbeing

    Författare :Ann Jacobsson; Backteman-Erlanson Susann; Christine Brulin; Annika Egan Sjölander; Eric Carlström; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Firefighters; health; well-being; burnout; psychosocial work environment; coping strategies; critical incidents; experiences; discourse analysis; focus groups; focus group discussion; caring sciences in social sciences; omvårdnadsforskning med samhällsvetenskaplig inriktning;

    Sammanfattning : Background: This thesis supports the assumption that firefighters’ health and mental well-being is important, in order to cope with the stress that the profession implies. As health is an essential part of everyday life, it seems substantially to understand how an almost exclusively male workforce of firefighters construct their discourse in relation to health and well-being.
