There is an increased interest in and awareness of mould growth damage in buildings. Today’s mould growth models are limited to only presenting the risk of mould growth. They do not take into account underlying factors and other parameters that make it possible to establish necessary measures to limit or avoid the risk of mould growth. This paper presents a chart that can be used to determine thes

This dissertaton is about a health care centre in Malmö, Sweden, and how the personnel reacted towards and created an understanding of a specific group of patients. Focus is on the encounter between the staff and the patients, who visited the health care centre regularly due to bodily pain and feelings of anxiety and were described by the medical staff as troublesome, complicated and difficult to

Den bild vi har av Viktor Rydberg brukar präglas av antingen idealiserande antikdyrkan, förbjuden "gossekärlek" eller av Göteborgsliberalismen. Det tidigare författarskapet har ofta uppfattats som omoget och melodramatiskt. I sin studie av Rydbergs tidiga artiklar, bl.a. i den politisk-satiriska tidskriften Tomtebissen, samt romanen Fribytaren på Östersjön ger Birthe Sjöberg nya aspekter på den un

A hypothesis on the mechanism of ''salt-scaling'' of porous building materials is described. The hypothesis is based on theories on frost heaving in soils and observations made on micro ice-lens growth in cement paste specimens. The main principle is that ice crystals close to the surface are able to feed from the remaining liquid phase of the outer salt solution after freezing has begun. Though t

The objectives of Food4Me work package 5 included a baseline assessment of the ethical and legal aspects of personalised nutrition at the start of the project in 2011, as well as a final assessment at the end of the project (2015), taking into account results achieved in other work packages. The initial assessment made a number of ethical issues visible, most of them relating to the consumer of pe

Five students of a rescue training school cycled at 50 W for 20 minutes at 20 °C before walking up to 30 minutes in a climatic chamber at 55 °C and 30 % relative humidity. Four different types of clothing ensembles were used differing in terms of thickness and thermal insulation value were tested on separate days. All subjects completed 28-30 minutes in light clothing, but quitted after 20-27 minu

Popular Abstract in Swedish Samhällets produktion av avfall är ett ständigt pågående problem. Tidigare metodik för att ta hand om avfallet genom att deponera det på soptippar håller på att förändras. Genom beslut inom EU har det kommit krav på sortering av avfallet vilket har lett till att hushållsavfall inte längre kommer att få deponeras. Ett sätt att ta hand om avfall är att förbränna avfallet Baling of MSW has been extensively used in Sweden and other countries for the storage of energy (biomass for energy) for incineration and production of either and or electricity and heat. Baling is performed in two principally different ways, leading to cylindrical- or rectangular bales. This work has focused on various parameters during the storage of MSW. The first parameters investigated were g

Popular Abstract in English N/AAquatic systems worldwide receive large amounts of organic carbon from terrestrial sources. This ‘allochthonous’ organic carbon (AlloOC) affects critical physical and chemical properties of freshwater ecosystems, with consequences for food web structures and exchange of greenhouse gases with the atmosphere. In the boreal region, loadings of AlloOC are particularly high due to leaching from huge or
