   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Transportsystem; Transport Systems;

   Sammanfattning : In order to respond to growing interregional rail traffic, rail capacity should be allocated better. To achieve this, one possibility is to optimise suitability of departure times for rail passengers in the timetabling process. LÄS MER

3. 7. Tidens tröskel : Uppbrott och nostalgi i skandinavisk litteratur kring sekelskiftet 1900

   Författare :Anna Jörngården; Anders Olsson; Anna Williams; Arne Melberg; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Keywords: fin de siècle; nostalgia; modernity; modernism; memory; time and space in literature; gender; travel; exile; identity and psychology; emotions; Ola Hansson; August Strindberg; Knut Hamsun; Literature; litteraturvetenskap;

   Sammanfattning : This study illuminates Scandinavian literature’s engagement with the fin de siècle as a momentous temporal threshold, when the widespread feeling of being poised on the brink of a distinctly modern age while at the same time witnessing the demise of the old world produced excitement as well as anxiety, a sense of loss and nostalgia. The dissertation explores how three male authors of the Scandinavian canon – Ola Hansson, August Strindberg and Knut Hamsun – depict the ambivalent experience of being torn between nostalgia and a heady sense of departure.

4. 8. Do you mean here? Points of departure for design

   Författare :Hans Tap; Blekinge Tekniska Högskola; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; work practice; design of IT; dialysis;

   Sammanfattning : It has been recognised that there is a need to get a better understanding of the user of technology in work as information technology progressively saturates users' everyday working environments. One motivating force has been a perceived need to link the design of new technology with the work actually being done. LÄS MER

5. 9. Stopover behaviour in migratory songbirds: timing, orientation and departures

   Författare :Sissel Sjöberg; Funktionell zoologi; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; flight duration; orientation; departure timing; stopover behaviour; stopover duration; flight behaviour; reverse migration; route choice; compass calibration; passerines; Bird migration;

   Sammanfattning : Songbird migrants use stopovers between flight bouts to rest and refuel for the upcoming flights. Behaviours affecting where, when and how long to stay at stopover sites will affect how successful the overall migration will be, which has significant consequences for the overall fitness and mortality of the birds.

7. 10. Adaptive flexibility in migratory behaviour of shorebirds

   Författare :Johanna Grönroos; Biologiska institutionen; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Bird migration; compensation; departure decision; flight distance; migration speed; migration strategy; orientation; shorebird; stopover; wind drift; wind selectivity;

   Sammanfattning : The phenomenon of bird migration has long fascinated us humans and it has prompted questions like where do they go or come from and how do they find their way? Arctic shorebirds are well known for their spectacular long-distance migrations with some species travelling more than 10 000 km every spring and autumn, and some even cover this distance in one single nonstop flight. The aim of my thesis was to investigate the flexibility of Arctic shorebirds when it comes to orientation behaviour, departure behaviour and migration strategy. LÄS MER
