One of the most important factors governing durability of concrete structures is reinforcement corrosion, and to prevent degradation associated with it, it is desirable to use large concrete covers. However, if the concrete cover is increased, the majority of design methods will predict that the crack widths at the concrete surface increase significantly. This can be contradictory, since the same
A search is reported for a neutral Higgs boson in the decay channel H -> Z gamma, Z -> l(+)l(-) (l = e, mu), using 4.5 fb(-1) of pp collisions at root s = 7 TeV and 20.3 fb(-1) of pp collisions at root s = 8 TeV, recorded by the ATLAS detector at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The observed distribution of the invariant mass of the three final-state particles, m(ll gamma), is consistent with the S
In Sweden there are laws and recommendations from The National Board of Health and Welfare about the importance of a user's involvement in and possibility of influencing services directed at them. Even with such good intentions the same board reports that it is hard to know if people experience that they do. The purpose of my study was to examine how professionals can use their knowledge to he
Denna rapport, En jämförande studie av Svenskt Vattens och CAC:s syn på HACCP-processen, En utvärdering och ett praktiskt tillämpande av Svenskt Vattens Handbok för egenkontrollprogram med HACCP, skriven av Anna Järvegren Meijer (handledd av Kenneth M. Persson, professor vid Teknisk Vattenresurslära, Lunds Tekniska Högskola och Anne Levin, konsult på SWECO VIAK, Malmö) behandlar kvalitetssystemet
Den övergripande frågeställningen för uppsatsen är: Vad innebär det ur ett demokratiperspektiv när en abonnerad morgontidning väljer att ge ut en gratistidning för att nå lågresursgrupperna i samhället??. Bakgrunden till frågan är att Helsingborgs dagblad valt att ge ut gratistidningen Xtra Helsingborg för att nå ut i de områden där tidningen har få läsare. Gemensamt för dessa stadsdelar är att de
Då barn kommer till en barn- och ungdomshabilitering är de i behov av hjälp med olika saker som inskränker och försvårar deras liv. Att få ett barn motiverat till att prova ut hjälpmedel eller träna sådant som deras kamrater kunnat i flera år, kanske inte alltid är så lätt. Studiens syfte var att undersöka hur arbetsterapeuter inom barnhabilitering beskriver vad som är betydelsefullt för barns mot
2005 was the year that all of the 25 member states in the European Union were to ratify the treaty of a constitution for Europe. The year did, however, offer a series of unexpected and slightly shocking events as both France and the Netherlands voted no to the constitution. Because of this the already planned referendums across many of the other member states were either postponed indefinately or
The purpose of this study was to, using statistical analysis, investigate to what extent families of a different cultural background have participated in family therapy and other family treatment programs at Familjeenheten in Lund. With questions regarding the goals of treatment, and the importance of cultural competence in the treatment process we have let two unit managers comment on the statist
The summary of the present master thesis can be outlined as the following: The international terrorism and the counter-terrorism have been one of the biggest issues and concerns of the international community over the last decades. The international terrorism aims at the very destruction of human rights, democracy and the rule of law. There is no question and the debate that the international terr
I denna uppsats beskriver jag fenomentet prodemokratisk intervention. Begreppet är en utveckling av humanitära interventioner och gör gällande att man intervenerar med demokratiska förtecken i auktoritära stater. Min frågeställning syftar till att söka svar på hur man legitimerar prodemokratiska interventioner. Detta gör jag genom att undersöka demokratibegreppet och den internationella folkrätten
Buildings account for 40% of energy use and about one third of CO2 emissions in the EU. The huge energy saving potentials offered by the building sector has been targeted by a large number of policy instruments. To improve policy intervention in this area, more information on the extent to which the applied policy instruments are supporting the development and dissemination of different types of e
The main purpose behind this paper was to research what factors that can be seen as significant to an individual who has chosen a path of trying to become free from a drug addiction. This paper is based on qualitative interviews with eleven individuals, all interviewed once. Throughout these interviews an interview guide was used consisting of different themes, every theme had sub questions. The t
The majority of approaches for mass appraisal are based on global statistical models that take into account property characteristics, and, in developing countries, location variables are not often explicitly considered. The present study uses Geographic Information Systems (GIS) as an analytical tool to develop a number of location variables and to analyze their impact in the value of properties.
This study aims to evaluate the usability of ecotope maps to predict aquatic ecological consequences of floodplain landscape changes. If successful, this method will be applied to evaluate ecological rehabilitation measures that will be carried out in order to improve the ecological status of the large river plains. Ecological value is reflected in indicator metrics for fish, aquatic vegetation, a
