  1. 1. Russia on the Move-The Railroads and the Exodus From Compulsory Collectivism 1861-1914

    Författare :Sylvia Sztern; Ekonomisk-historiska institutionen; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Institutions; technology; village commune-obshchina; insurance; famines; calamities; railroads; rationality; collectivism; individualism;

    Sammanfattning : Western scholars of Tsarist Russia emphasize the continuity of collectivism on the Russian plain. Numerous endogenous factors explain the human clustering that occurred as kinship structures evolved into territorial agrarian communal patterns. LÄS MER

  3. 2. One coin - One vote : the rural political power shift that pushed Sweden towards industrialization

    Författare :Erik Lindgren; Björn Tyrefors; Per Pettersson-Lidbom; Erik Grönqvist; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Development; Education; Infrastructure Investment; Railroads; Historical data; Political Institutions; Infant mortality and Weather; Growth; Economics; nationalekonomi;

    Sammanfattning : The Causal Effect of Political Power on the Provision of Public Education: Evidence from a Weighted Voting SystemWe estimate how political power affects the provision of public education in local governments, using data from a nondemocratic society where voters received votes in proportion to their taxable income. This was the system used in Swedish local governments during the period 1862–1909. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Aspects of probabalistic serviceability limit state design of dry deep mixing

    Författare :Niclas Bergman; Stefan Larsson; Tim Länsivaara; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Byggvetenskap; Civil and Architectural Engineering;

    Sammanfattning : An expanding population and increased need for infrastructure increasingly necessitate construction on surfaces with poor soil conditions. To facilitate the construction of buildings, roads and railroads in areas with poor soil conditions, these areas are often improved by means of foundation engineering. LÄS MER

  7. 5. On the Modelling of Train Induced Ground Vibrations with Analytical Methods

    Författare :Anders Karlström; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; ground vibrations; train; wave propagation; dynamic flexibility; trench; railway track; vibration isolation; wave barrier; soil-structure interaction;

    Sammanfattning : A novel analytical approach to model train induced ground vibrations is proposed. Integral transform solutions are combined with series solutions to obtain fast numericalalgorithms, where a particular designed boundary condition for finite regions is seen to enable the solution procedure.
