Acoustic fatigue can occur in structural elements of an aircraft exposed to very high sound pressures. To deal with acoustic fatigue, mainly empirical methods have been applied and often late in the design phase. Current design guidelines have several limitations. First, they do not say anything about the load intensities. The load levels can be determined either experimentally or numerically. Exp

This article examines the heresiological mechanisms involved in constructing Origenism as a heresy in Late Antiquity. Attention is especially paid to the rhetorical role that “paganism” played in this construction. Focusing on the polemics of Jerome of Stridon, I argue that Jerome created a dichotomy of pagan learning and Christian confession, and described the Origenists as relying excessively on
Recent years have seen a rise in extreme heat event (EHE)-related deaths in India. However, the impact of specific temperature thresholds on health risks remains understudied. Using Distributed Lag Non-Linear Models (DLNM), we explored the link between EHEs, defined by various temperature thresholds, and mortality risk in Ahmedabad, India, from 2002 to 2018, considering a 21-day lag. We observed a
Homelessness and other forms of destitution among asylum-seeking migrants are currently on the rise across Europe, as migrants’ access to social rights, including housing, has been restricted through repressive migration policies, fuelled by the welfare nationalism and chauvinism that surge among European states.

Expansions of innovation policies have been paralleled with an increasein the evaluations of such policies. Yet, there are few systematic evaluations of how such evaluations are conducted, by whom, and their overall conclusions. We analyze 110 evaluations of innovation policy in Sweden from 2005 to 2019. Our findings show that the majority of these evaluations are positive, about one-third are neu
Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are a major cause of disability worldwide, and two conditions that are major contributors to the overall burden of MSDs are fractures and osteoarthritis (OA). The Swedish Health and Medical Services Act (HSL 2017:30) states that the goal of all health care services is good health and health care on equal terms for the entire population. However, there exists a well
I analyse the effect of risk aversion on the share of wealth investment on risky tradable financial assets at individual level by exploiting the results of a laboratory experiment on a sample of over 700 Dutch respondents. The estimates of an econometric model show that for different wealth levels, risk aversion has heterogeneous effects on the share of wealth invested in risky tradable financial
FN-stadgans våldsförbud sätter upp ett absolut förbud mot våldsanvändning stater emellan, och endast en situation av självförsvar eller med mandat från säkerhetsrådet kan en stat få rätt att göra undantag från förbudet. Detta till trots finns det många exempel på fall av våldshandlingar som går utanför förbudets ramar, så kallade humanitära interventioner, och man har i dessa situationer hänvisat The UN Charter sets up an absolute prohibition on the use of force between states, and only a situation of self-defense or a mandate from the Security Council can give the right to make exceptions to the ban. Despite this, there are many examples of cases of violence that goes beyond the prohibition framework, so-called humanitarian interventions, and to justify those operations references to inte
This study provides a throughout review of Energy Efficiency policies in the Norwegian context. It examines specific policies and instruments which are designed for addressing Energy Efficiency issues. The aim is to grasp the extent and effectiveness of those policy arrangements that might serve as a model for others to learn from. Qualitative and quantitative data collected from evaluation report
Summary This thesis is a study which primary objective is to examine the court´s risk assessment in legal custody, and contact disputes when a child is at risk of being harmed. My thesis also includes an interdisciplinary perspective to give a more detailed understanding of the process – of which consequences it entails if authorities and courts don´t make reliable risk assessments. Physical, psyc
In the new normality brought by the COVID-19 pandemic, most governments have to adopt containment measures in order to control the spread of the virus. This paper addresses the adequacy and effectiveness of containment measures implemented by the 19 dierent autonomous regions in which Spain is subdivided. The study focuses on the heterogeneity and lack of simultaneity of measures applied by the re
Policymakers are increasingly demanding that their investments in research and knowledge production should yield returns. The interest of evaluating the societal impact of research has grown rapidly as research funders request evidence that their investments lead to public benefits. This thesis is a study of how the Research Council of Norway has operationalized such demands into new evaluation pr
Purpose - Based on previous research, this study explores the importance of signals as a way to attract investment in Reward-based Crowdfunding by focusing on signalling theory. This study presents two hypotheses suggesting a positive relationship between Human Capital (defined as education and previous working experience) and the likelihood of success on Reward-based Crowdfunding. Methodology - T
Most exporting firms in the world also import foreign inputs in production. Recent findings elucidate the importance of imports as a driver of firm productivity on the amount of goods exported. This study aims at investigating the correlation between imports and firm productivity, not the causality. It will add to previous research by shifting focus from import participation to import intensity an
During 2015 and 2016 Sweden received more immigrants than usual and the debate on who is a citizen, and what it means to be one, grew popular. Part of the debate was about how the Swedish model and the Swedish welfare state would survive. In many cases the immigrants was seen as a threat towards institutions which play a part in the Swedish perception of what the societal contract entails.The pape
