Denna uppsats är skriven på uppdrag av Lunds tekniska högskola och Myndigheten för samhällsskydd och beredskap. Uppdraget består av att modellera antalet dödsbränder som sker i Sverige över tid, samt undersöka ifall det har skett någon signifikant förändring. Detta görs utifrån ett antagande om att dödsbränder är Poisson-fördelade, därmed betraktas antalet dödsbränder över tid som en Poisson-proceThe authors of this thesis were tasked with modelling fatal fires in Sweden to answer the question, whether the quarterly number of fires has changed over time. The usage of the Poisson distribution in modelling accidents and mortalities is well attested. Problems arise when measuring the number of fire related mortalities, as several deaths can be attributed to one fire. This violates the assumpt

In the last few years there has been an ongoing debate concerning the methods of assessing the quality of public libraries and their services. This study investigates the opinions and needs of the users at four different public libraries in Malm : the local libraries in Bellevueg rden, Limhamn, and Kirseberg, and the main library in central Malm . The purpose was to find out whether different user

This thesis is a comparative analysis of five cases, in which criminal responsibility and mental disorder were in issue. Andrea Yates drowned her five children. John W. Hinckley Jr shot and injured President Ronald Reagan. Kjeldsen raped and assassinated a taxi driver on his way from Calgary to Banff. Mijailo Mijailovic attacked and killed the Swedish minister of foreign affairs Anna Lindh. Sara S

Målet med denna studie var att undersöka elevers och lärares uppfattningar om olika mobbningsinterventioners effektivitet på en årskurs 6-9 skola i södra Sverige. Avsikten var även att jämföra dessa två grupper, samt titta på olika aspekter hos elevgruppen så som kön, ålder och involvering i mobbning. Urvalet bestod av 375 elever och 25 lärare. Studiens viktigaste resultat var att lärare skattar iThe aim of this study was to investigate the views of students and teachers, at a middle school in the south of Sweden, about the efficacy of different anti-bullying interventions. The purpose was also to compare these two groups, and look at differences within the student population when it came to their sex, age and involvement in bullying. The sample consisted of 375 students and 25 teachers. T

During this master thesis work that was conducted as a case study together with SWEP International, we have investigated marking standards and marking technologies that support handling of varying customer demands and increased information density. We also studied SWEP’s internal information handling and traceability. We were asked to specifically look at the usefulness of RFID for SWEP, and came

A lot of money is being spent by the governments all over the world in developing and deploying Government to Citizen (G2C) e-government applications. These applications serve the purpose of providing better civic services to the citizens. The success of such applications is frequently heard and witnessed in the developed countries but there is a prevailing concern about the success and adoption o

Vattenmolekyler är i ständig slumpmässig rörelse som beror på systemets termisk energi, dvs temperaturen. Diffusionsrörelsen kallas även Brownsk rörelse efter den engelske botanikerns Brown, som upptäckte fenomenet på 1800 talet. Människokroppen består till 70 % av vatten, vilket gör det lämpligt att använda MRT för att studera diffusionsegenskaper i biologisk vävnad och för klinisk diagnostik av Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is still a fast growing area of research and is an important part of the clinical tools used for diagnosis of various diseases. The diagnostic values of diffusion imaging are well known especially for ischemic stroke in the acute phase. This work concerns whether the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and the full width at half maximum (FWHM) changes when the ima

Denna undersökning rör frågan om vilket inflytande förkastningarna i de tektoniska Polotsk- Kurzeme och Småland-Blekingezonerna utövat på det överlagrande sedimenttäckets och den nutida topografins utbildning. Syftet var att bestämma karaktären av denna påverkan och dess tänkbara orsaker. De huvudsakliga undersökningsområdena utgjordes av Polotskdelen av Polotsk-Kurzeme deformationszonen i norra VThis is a study of the influence of the crystalline basement faults of the Polotsk-Kurzeme and the Småland-Blekinge Deformation Zones on the development of the sedimentary cover and the formation of the present topography. The purpose is to define the character and possible causes of this influence. The key target areas of this study are the Polotsk part of the Polotsk-Kurzeme Deformation Zone in

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Stenshuvuds nationalpark är en av Sveriges minsta nationalpark. Dess naturtyper är omväxlande och är därmed en av landets mest artrika nationalpark. Området är, trots sina höga naturvärden, inte speciellt välundersökt vad gäller miljöhistoria sett i ett längre tidsperspektiv. Tiden för trädens invandring vid Stenshuvud under holocen (de senaste 11 500 åren) har A palaeoecological investigation of two peat deposits in the national park of Stenshuvud (N 55° 39´ 21´´, O 14° 16´ 06´´), southeastern coast of Sweden, was performed to date the immigration of tree species and study the landscape history during Holocene. The sequences were analysed for pollen and plant macrofossil. The chronology is based on 14 AMS-14C dates of plant macroremains from terrestrial

The use of area-based approaches in urban regeneration is widely accepted in the European community. As these projects are based on the context of the focal area, there is no one-size-fits-all solution on how to design and implement those. The Eco-city Augustenborg project is an environmentally-led urban regeneration project initiated in Malmö in 1998. Today, fifteen years after the project was in

Utgångspunkten i svensk rätt är att våldtäktslagstiftningen ska skydda varje individs rätt till sexuell integritet och sexuellt självbestämmande. Dagens lagstiftning gör straffbart när gärningsmannen genom våld eller hot tvingat offret eller otillbörligt utnyttjat att offret befunnit sig i en särskilt utsatt situation. Den kritik som riktats mot våldtäktslagstiftningen är att en person är tillgängThe basis of the rape legislation in Sweden is the right of every individual's sexual integrity and sexual self-determination. The current legislation requires that the offender has used force, threat or a situation of exploitation. The critic against the legislation is that a person is available as long as he or she does not make any physical resistance. The presumption will be different with

It just turned out this way - the life stories of six young women confined to a secure juvenile correctional facility The purpose of this paper is to identify risk conditions and protective conditions for a group of girls under secure confinement, based on their retrospective testimonies, and also to examine how these conditions manifest themselves in their statements. The empirical basis for th

One of the biggest question in physics is to investigate the early universe or big bang. 10 µs after big bang, there existed a phase of transition called QGP (Quark Gluon Plasma). In this phase of transition quarks and gluon were free from each other. In normal life neutron and proton consist of three quarks with exchanging gluons. To simulate QGP scientists has built the large accelerator at CERN

The purpose of this thesis was to explore gender norms, beauty ideals and social practices and the way these become ‘visible’ on the Japanese female body as (re)producing the ideal Japanese femininity and skin color in particular. In order to achieve that, I investigate and identify these norms, the mechanisms that implement them on the body and the attitudes and expression of resistance against t

A large and rapidly growing population in Kenya together with increasing demands put heavy pressure on the country’s resources. Primary to produce enough food but also to meet other needs such as access to timber and firewood. A large part of the population relies on yields from their own farming for their survival. The farms are generally small and the needs many which makes it important to get o

Det saknas, så vitt vi vet, information om hur barn upplever svåra situationer i vardagen, och framförallt hur de upplever känslor som skam och skuld när de har en förälder med långvarig smärta. Dessutom finns det i Sverige inte någon insats inriktad på barnen under dessa förhållanden. Syftet med denna uppsats är att beskriva barnens upplevelse av skam och skuld av att leva med en långvarigt smärtThere is a lack, as far as we know, of information about how children experience difficult situations in everyday life and most importantly how they experience emotions such as shame and guilt when they have a parent with chronic pain. Moreover, in Sweden there is no effort focused on the children in these circumstances. The purpose of this study is to describe the children's experience of sha

Mental unhealthiness among school students in Swedish elementary schools has increased in recent years, which is not least seen by various reports and surveys. All schools have different approaches to their equal treatment work, focusing on making the students feel as comfortable as possible. In recent years, norm criticism has gained a greater part in this equal treatment work, which means making

This bachelor thesis deals with the reporting around the demonstration in Gothenburg on September 30th 2017 arranged by Nordiska Motståndsrörelsen (NMR), a Nordic Neo-Nazi movement. After a cultural debate in Sweden regarding freedom of speech and the attendance of the internet based right-winged alternative media Fria Tider on Mässan Bok & Bibliotek, also known as Bokmässan, always arranged a

The ongoing human impact in form of deforestation, urbanization and intense agriculture is affecting the natural hydrology and our freshwater lakes negatively. Both eutrophication and brownification has seen to increase with the ongoing environmental change which can potentially have large impact on our freshwater ecosystems. Using a mesocosm experiment, this study investigates the individual and
