Wind power planning in three Swedish municipalities

Wind power is seen by many observers as an important part of the transition to a sustainable energy system, since it does not contribute to the environmental problems connected with dominating energy forms such as fossil fuel, nuclear power and large-scale hydro power. At the same time wind power has some characteristics that makes it a special challenge for land use planning. In Sweden, where win

Exploring the limitations of 14C bomb-pulse dating on human tissue samples

The aim of this work, which will be part of the PhD work of the author of this report, was to evaluate the precision and accuracy expected from bomb-pulse dating of human tissue, focusing on the uncertainties introduced by variation in 14C in the human diet. Such variations may be caused by releases from nuclear installations, hospitals and laboratories using 14C, use of fossil fuels as well as va

The perfect fieldwork

InvitedPaper presented at conference/seminar on difficult fieldwork, discusses compromises that ethnographers will have to make as their fieldwork becomes more fragmented and their study objects more suspicious, especially when studying elites; the possibility of any solidarity or empathy with the people we study may be declining.

Understanding the leadership role of the board chairperson through a team production approach

Current corporate governance recommendations – rooted in an investor-based shareholder supremacy model – often narrowly discuss the issue of board leadership as whether or not there is a separation of the CEO and chairperson positions. In this article we employ a team production approach to better understand the leadership role of the board chairperson. We argue that effective board performance is

Crack density tensor inversion for analysis of changes in rock frame architecture

This paper presents a development of the use of multi-axial ultrasonic data for the quantification of extrinsic, crack or grain-contact induced elastic anisotropy in core samples with application to a UKCS oil field. An approach for inversion of multi-axial velocity measurements is presented, which extends the previous work by Sayers (2002) for the determination of second- and fourth-order crack d
