Novel-abrasion resistant iron (N-AR iron) is a new cast iron, which basically is a high-Cr white cast iron alloyed with cemented carbide (13 wt.%). The cemented carbide can be either powder from cemented carbide tool or use of recycled carbide tool. The characteristic properties for the material are the castability and its superior wear resistance which means that the N-AR iron has a high potentia
Time-resolved spectroscopy is a powerful technique permitting the separation of the scattering properties from the chemical absorption properties of a sample. The reduced scattering coefficient and the absorption coefficient are usually obtained by fitting diffusion or Monte Carlo models to the measured data using numerical optimization techniques. However, these methods do not take the spectral d
Rights in Action: Localizing Human Rights for Sustainable Development The Raoul Wallenberg Institute of Human Rights and Humanitarian Law (RWI) is a research and academic institution committed to human rights education and development across the world. Informed by over 30 years of research and direct engagement experience, our current organizational strategies focus on four interrelated themes: Bu

Abstract in UndeterminedA central part of relational ties between social actors is constituted by shared affiliations and events. The action of joint participation reinforces personal ties between social actors as well as mutually shared values and norms that in turn perpetuate the patterns of social action that define groups. Therefore the study of bipartitenetworks is central to social science.
Popular Abstract in Swedish Den tilltagande växthuseffekten förväntas innebära en global vattenståndshöjning samt klimatförändringar. En sådan utveckling är ogynnsam för låglänta sandkuster som de runt Falsterbohalvön. I denna avhandling diskuteras framtida höga vattenstånd tilsammans med tänkbara konsekvenser för Falsterbohalvön. Dessutom har kustnära vågor och sandtransport samt grundvattennivåeFalsterbo Peninsula in the south-west corner of Sweden is low-lying and built up of unconsolidated sand. Vulnerability to high water levels and wave action is of concern for the 10,000 residents of the peninsula, especially in consideration of global warming as enhanced inundation and coastal erosion problems may ensue. Rational counteractions of such problems are possible only through sufficient
In the area of adapting/constructing homes and workplaces for the physically disabled, a computer-based planning tool has been prototyped and evaluated. The prototypes so far have been based on Macintosh computers and commercially available 3-D modeling and multimedia programs. Six case-studies formed the basis for user-oriented prototyping and evaluation. The present prototype was found useful in
It has been known that load unaware channel selection in 802.11 networks results in high level interference, and can significantly reduce the network throughput. In current implementation, the only way to determine the traffic load on a channel is to measure that channel for a certain duration of time. Therefore, in order to find the best channel with the minimum load all channels have to be measu
In the scope of a Swedish research project on expert knowledge as a basis for legal decisions, this article focuses on serious criminal cases. Using a model that describes rhetorical situations as well as empirical material based in 150 court decisions, the aim is to analyze the conditions surrounding the use of expert evidence in criminal law processes, to what extent and by whom such evidence is
Gender scholarship has identified how paid care work reproduces male dominance and reinforces women's subordination, but also how labour and workplaces provide a critical space for women through the development of new forms of identity and struggle. In this ethnographic study of Swedish nurses' work, the concept of normative femininity is used in order to explore gender, labour, and changing relat
As farms are getting bigger with more animals, less manual supervision and attention can be given the animals on both group and individual level. In order not to jeopardize animal welfare, automated supervision is in some way already in use. Function and control of ventilation is already in use in modern pig stables, e.g. by the use of sensors for temperature, relative humidity and malfunction con
In this paper, I briefly present my doctoral thesis research proposal. Recognizing that information has long been an important asset for any organization, I wish to explore in depth the management and use of information in contemporary information-intensive organizations such as academic libraries. Additionally, this research proposal emerges out of recognition that the academic library is a dynam
The present study reports the state of the art on the application of factors about prototyping engineering approach, using case studies of machinery manufactured by research centers of the Universidad Mayor de San Simon (UMSS) in Cochabamba-Bo-livia, to determine guidelines that allow structuring broad, analytical and intuitive prototyping strategies. The research cen
This article seeks to develop an understanding of how corporations manage their social and ethical responsibilities, whilst simultaneously facing allegations of crime. It draws on the case of TeliaSonera, a Swedish corporation prosecuted for committing bribery in Uzbekistan. The article begins by introducing the reader to this so-called ‘Uzbek affair’, before exploring how corporate governance has
Innovation Ecosystems (IE) is an emerging concept that highlights the evolution of a group of actors working around common practices, products, processes, actions, and initiatives. While we can find various definitions of urban innovation districts/ecosystems and common traits that coherently define them at the urban level, only a few scholars have focused on understanding and further defining Inn
To plan, design and build with diversity in mind is a complex process. While goals such as inclusion, participation and social sustainability may be present in the vision for a future product, service or environment, studies show that the initial vision isn’t always realized in the end result. There are still far too many products, services and environments that are hard to access or use for parts
Academic debates on law and society relations in authoritarian regimes continue to revolve around issues of the dysfunctional legal system, corruption and informality, clientelistic legal culture, and how the authoritarian regimes in this region deploy law as a means for suppressing dissent. However, in this article, we argue that the legal landscape of authoritarian regimes should not be viewed f
Background: Artificial intelligence (AI) systems are proposed as a replacement of the first reader in double reading within mammography screening. We aimed to assess cancer detection accuracy of an AI system in a Danish screening population. Methods: We retrieved a consecutive screening cohort from the Region of Southern Denmark including all participating women between Aug 4, 2014, and August 15,
