A rational, analytical approach to a fire engineering design of load-bearing steel structures is described. The method of design is directly based on the natural compartment fire concept and on strictly defined functional requirements and performance criteria. The method is permitted to be generally applied in Sweden, as one alternative, since about ten years. For facilitating the practical applic

Since November 2012 all citizens in Uppsala County in Sweden have access to their medical record on the internet sight “my health contacts”. This is the first step in a EU deployment- project where a total of 12 different eHealth services will be launched over time. The IT director of the county has engaged himself in the idea of medical records and other eHealth services since 1997 and has had se

INTRODUCTION Preshivering thermogenesis (developing muscle tension) may not be noticed in static situations due to reduced metabolism under mild body cooling. This paper describes the observations of metabolic and heart rate changes under mild body cooling. METHODS Eight men participated in the study. The subjects were dressed in shorts, socks and shoes, and were seated. The air temperature (32 °C

In this paper we explore the concept of “architectural object” as a representation of a real “situation” involving people, behavior, experience and environment. The purpose is to define a selection of possible configurable architectural objects that reflect the variability of situations possible to achieve using an industrialised building system. The paper presents a theoretical foundation for org

This thesis is concerned with uncovering the organisational structure underpinning Open University television programmes in scientific and technological fields. Using a genre analysis which takes into account the unique contextual configuration in which vision and pedagogical purpose play a vital part a rhetorical structure is revealed. This structure is based essentially on a string of Episodes.

REDD is one of the latest additions to a series of incentive-based mechanisms for reducing carbon emissions. Although international negotiations have not eliminated uncertainties regarding its social, economic and political implications, many developing and emerging countries have begun to engage in REDD. Peru, the country with the world’s fourth largest tropical forest area has good reason to par

Kreativitet behandlas ur kognitiv-psykologisk synvinkel. Kapitlet beskriver kreativitetens natur och förklarar vad kreativ förmåga kan tillföra i affärssammanhang. Kapitlet fokuserar både den kreativa processen i allmänhet och förmågans speciella roll för nyföretagande. Syftet är att ge en beskrivning av kreativitet som inte bara är korrekt, utan även kan fungera som ett verktyg i entreprenörens v

Three kinds of light emission are taking place from organisms: bioluminescence in a narrow sense from some animals, dinoflagellatees, fungi and bacteria; delayed light emission from photosynthetic cells; ultraweak light emission from all kinds of cells. All these phenomena are treated in this chapter.
