The aim of the work presented here was to provide enhanced assessment methods that are able to prove higher load carrying capacities and longer service lives for existing concrete railway bridges. One main objective was to develop methods for non-linear analysis since this provides the greatest potential to discover any additional sources for load carrying capacity, and gives an improved understan

Aim: The aim of the study was to reveal young carers' views of design of a web-based support system (WBSS) directed to them and the differences between their views and the views of project representatives (PRs), in a participatory design process. Methods: Eight young people, 17-24 years, were involved in either a work or a test group. The work group participated in video-recorded design meetings w

The seventeenth and eighteenth centuries are the golden age of the poetic epitaph in Sweden and Europe. Most epitaphs were shaped in accordance with the principle of decorum, i.e., they were written to praise the dead and to comfort the bereaved. But there were also poems that sought to instead find faults with the deceased, sometimes even to insult their memory. A form of funeral poetry that was

New Winds in Mission Theology: A Comparative Analysis of Three Recent Mission Documents With the Lausanne Movement’s Cape Town Commitment (CTC), World Council of Churches’ Together Towards Life (TTL) and Pope Francis’ Evangelii Gaudium (EG) the three major ecclesiastic families have updated their mission theology. These documents witness for a certain convergence especially through the way in whic

BACKGROUND: We present a C++ class library for Monte Carlo simulation of molecular systems, including proteins in solution. The design is generic and highly modular, enabling multiple developers to easily implement additional features. The statistical mechanical methods are documented by extensive use of code comments that - subsequently - are collected to automatically build a web-based manual. R

Coronapandemin har inneburit ett hårt slag för café- och restaurangbranschen då kunderna i stor utsträckning uteblir, dels på grund av rädsla för smitta, dels på grund av uppmaningar från myndigheterna om social distansering. I branschen ärmånga småföretagare utan större ekonomisk buffert. Innan krisen är över kommer sannolikt många företag att ha tvingats lägga ned verksamheter (DN, 2020). Vi för

While “meaning negotiation” has become an ubiquitous term, its use is often confusing. A negotiation problem implies not only a convenience to agree, but also diverging interest on what to agree upon. It implies agreement but also the possibility of (voluntary) disagreement. In this chapter, we look at meaning negotiation as the process through which agents starting from different preferred concep
