The objective of this report was to investigate different types of glass when exposed to heat radiation from a typical fire in a dangerous goods carrier. The purpose was to evaluate if tempered glass could be used in facades instead of the more expensive fire resistant glass. Experiments were made in a cone calorimeter where different thicknesses of laminated, tempered and fire resistant glass wer
I mitt arbete har jag valt att studera kopplingen mellan musik och bildkonst. Min upplevelse är att musik blir förstärkt av konsten och vice versa. Jag har skrivit kompositioner som ska spelas till ljusfilmer av ljuskonstnären Åsa Wirling. Hon kommer projicera filmer på en duk, samt på musikerna. Musik talar starkare till mig genom bild och vad jag valt att studera är förhållandet mellan musik ochIn the preparations for my degree concert, I have chosen to study the connection between music and visual art. In my opinion, music becomes stronger in collaboration with other art genres and vice versa. My original compositions will be performed live, with abstract films made by the light artist, Åsa Wirling, will be projected simultaneously behind and on the band. To me, music speaks stronger th
This paper investigates differences in perception of leadership and well-being between guest workers and native workers in Sweden. Guest workers are individuals who take up temporary employment in a foreign country. While previous research has found cultural differences in well-being, there is limited research investigating the well-being of guest workers in a host country. Similarly, previous res
Over the past years type 2 diabetes has become a complex consequence of better economic standards with growing economic and life quality costs. Prevention and deferral of type 2 diabetes through detection and preventive treatment of prediabetes will be crucial. The method of detection is therefore an important part in the prevention of type 2 diabetes. The aim of this essay was to analyze the co
The aim of this study was to examine how high paid and low paid individuals differ when it comes to personality and intelligence. The study has answered the following research question; “What is the relationship between specific personality traits, intelligence and how financially successful someone becomes?”. The study consisted of a quantitative method with questionnaires as the basis for the da
Byggproduktion idag, innebär bland annat en hög energianvändning, utsläpp av växthusgaser, användning av miljöfarliga ämnen samt stora mängder avfall som måste hanteras. Detta är aspekter som samtliga behöver minskas för att reducera branschens stora miljöpåverkan. Inom byggsektorn har klimatarbetet fått en alltmer ökad uppmärksamhet med införandet av olika klimatkrav på nationell och EU-nivå. I oCarbon offsets, essential in climate-related aspirations for governments and businesses, entail reducing, avoiding, or extracting greenhouse gases from the atmosphere, even if not contemporaneous with emissions. They include, among others, energy-efficient solutions and renewable energy investments. These compensations, voluntary or regulated, must meet reliability criteria. Actions, such as Carbo
The rapid development of generative AI systems such as large language models (LLMs) and image generators have revealed critical tensions between technological innovation and existing data protection frameworks. This thesis examines the practical challenges related to the right to erasure established in Article 17 of the GDPR, commonly known as the "right to be forgotten" in the context o
Klimatfrågan är ett ämne som många människor pratar om. De senaste årtiondena har klimatfrågan ökat i samband med ökade utsläpp. Effekterna av utsläppen är tydliga i form av höjda vattennivåer, värmeböljor, extremväder och skyfall för att nämna några. Vad människor gör åt saken beror mycket på hur medvetna människor är om klimatförändringarna. Vissa personer märker inte av klimatförändringarna medClimate change is an important topic for a lot of people and the usage of art to draw attention towards the issue is not a novel idea. Each art piece has had a different approach to, not only increase awareness but to also portray climate change. The expressions vary depending on who made the art piece, the context of its creation and similar parameters. Globally, this has been done since at least
This conceptual thesis analyses Carlota Pérez vision of a ‘Green Global Golden Age’ that is supposed to reconcile the tension between economic growth and sustainability (Pérez, 2016b). Aiming to address the pressing issue of continued unsustainability, Pérez’ proposed solution is based on the assumption that technological innovation in the field of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT)
Human alpha-lactalbumin made lethal to tumor cells (HAMLET) is a complex formed by human alpha-lactalbumin and oleic acid that displays tumoricidal activity but does not kill healthy, differentiated cells. As the sequence of alpha-lactalbumin is conserved among mammals, lactalbumins from other species are expected to form oleic acid complexes with similar activity. This study investigated the tumo
Reliable methods for estimating financial return volatility are crucial in many areas of trading and investing. Two such frameworks, the GARCH and SV, have been of particular interest to academics and practitioners alike. The GARCH model describes the variance of the current innovation as a function of the actual sizes of the previous innovations. In contrast, the stochastic volatility model descr
