This master thesis evaluates a structured method presented by Nilsson et al. (2013) for development of fire scenarios for multifunctional buildings considering protection of functions as well as antagonistic exposures. The method is evaluated by implementing it practically on an existing multifunctional building. The master thesis also analyse exposures, both antagonistic and accidental, that can

Digital systems are integrated in our environment and have become a natural part of our every day life. As we rely more on these systems our expectations on them increases. We expect them to perform new tasks, communicate and cooperate. The complexity of these systems are increasing. The increasing complexity and the requirement for flexibility, which allows the system to adapt and evolve over tim

This essay centres three research questions related to the Swedish Social Democrats’ positioning towards neoliberal principles in the labor market and how it’s expressed with regard to political role. This is done for the purpose of creating a nuanced understanding of the effect that neoliberal ideas have had on the formation and expression of the party narrative. For theory, critical realism and

Byggsektorn står för 22 procent av Sveriges utsläpp av växthusgaser, där byggskedet enskilt står för störst klimatpåverkan under en byggnads livscykel. Trots minskade utsläpp från uppvärmning har byggskedets utsläpp förblivit oförändrat. För att nå målet om nettonollutsläpp 2045 har det bland annat föreslagits minskad materialanvändning och lägre klimatpåverkan från byggmaterial. Det har också uppThe construction sector accounts for 22 percent of Sweden's greenhouse gas emissions, with the construction phase being the single most climate impacting stage. Despite reduced emissions from heating, emissions from the construction phase have remained unchanged. To achieve the goal of net-zero emissions by 2045, measures such as reduced material use and lowered climate impact from building ma

Den 1 juli 2018 ändrades Sveriges sexualbrottslagstiftning i syfte att stärka skyddet av individers sexuella integritet och självbestämmanderätt. Lagändringen innebär att straffbarhet numera avgörs utifrån om deltagandet i en sexuell handling är frivilligt eller inte, oavsett våld, hot eller särskilt utsatt situation. Dessutom infördes ett oaktsamhetsansvar för våldtäkt (6 kap. 1 a § brottsbalken)On 1 July 2018, Sweden amended its sexual offence legislation to strengthen the protection of individuals' sexual integrity and self-determination. The reform criminalized the performance of sexual acts with someone who does not participate voluntarily, regardless of violence, threats or exploitation of a particularly vulnerable situation. In addition, negligent rape was introduced as a new cr

Increasing security in transports without negatively affecting the logistical flow makes efficiency a critical factor. To achieve a viable end-to-end security solution in a supply chain, with complex network of dependencies, requires a holistic perspective.

This study examines Tanusia, a woman depicted in the historiographical work of Dio Cassius. The study is focusing on the confrontation between Tanusia and Octavianus [Augustus] at the theatre during the second triumvirate (43 b.C – 31 a.D). The meeting between the two was a result of Tanusia’s husband being proscribed in the aftermath of Julius Caesar’s murder. Being proscribed initially meant bei

Ljud är, för de flesta, någonting självklart. Vi omges ständigt av ljud, våra egna och andras, och kanske märker vi inte av vår ljudmiljö förrän den blir direkt obehaglig. Detta speglas även i vår gärning och vårt tankesätt som arkitekter, där bilden, ljuset och den visuella estetiken har företräde i våra kreativa processer. Det är just detta som Juhani Pallasmaa går till angrepp mot i ”The Eyes oSound is, for most people, something obvious. We are constantly surrounded by sounds, our own and others’, and perhaps we do not notice our sound environment before it has become directly unpleasant. This is reflected in our work and our way of thinking as architects, where the image, light and visual aesthetics has precedence in our creative processes. This is what Juhani Pallasmaa chriticizes in

The objective of the present study was to examine psychological aspects of intra- and interpersonal learning for patients with Type 2 diabetes, hypertension and dyslipidemia treated with Exercise on prescription. The research design consists of a qualitative investigation of 30 patients in Denmark undergoing a community-based exercise treatment at baseline, a post-intervention investigation after

Authors: Malin Körner and Martin Halling Title: “Det fanns ju bara indicier” - En studie om grundskolelärares reflektioner kring anmälningsplikt Supervisor: Tove Harnett Among others, elementary school teachers in Sweden are obligated by law to report to the social services if they suspect that a child is maltreated in one way or another. Nevertheless, research indicates that only few of the sus

In the design of load-bearing building structures computer programs for analysis and design are frequently used. The programs are both 2D and 3D, where the latter is relatively new in the construction sector. For a 3D application, more phenomena can be taken into account, but on the other hand, the work required to build a model is more comprehensive. The purpose of this work is to investigate whe

Uppsatsen behandlar konflikten mellan två inte sällan kolliderande intressen, vindkraft och rennäring. I ljuset av folkrättsliga instrument till skydd för urfolk, ska samernas rätt till mark och vatten skyddas. För samer är denna rätt en förutsättning för renskötselns bedrivande, som det samiska kulturarvet i stora delar bygger på. Rennäringen förutsätter stora markområden där renar fritt kan flytThis essay discusses the conflict between wind power and reindeer husbandry, two interests which at times collide. In light of international law and its instruments for the protection of indigenous peoples, the Samis’ rights to land and water shall be protected. The right to land is a prerequisite for the Samis to pursue their reindeer herding, which lays the foundation for the cultural heritage o

Sverige tillåter för närvarande inte anonyma vittnesmål. Ämnet har trots det varit uppe för diskussion i Sverige sedan 90-talet. Med anledning av den ökade gängkriminaliteten samt vittnens otillräckliga skydd ses anonyma vittnen som en alternativ lösning på problemet. Syftet med uppsatsen är att utreda huruvida ett system med anonyma vittnen hade fungerat i svensk rätt eller inte. Undersökningen Anonymous witnesses are not allowed in the Swedish legal system, although the subject has been debated in Sweden for decades. Due to increased organized crime and inadequate witness protection, anonymous witnesses is discussed as a solution to the problem. The purpose of this essay is to straighten out if a system of anonymous witnesses would be possible in the Swedish legal system. This is done

The essay is a comparative study between the Swedish regulation of spousal maintenance after divorce and the corresponding French regulation of prestation compensatoire which directly translates to provision of compensation. The regulations differ, particularly, because French law includes a ground for refusal related to the issue of fault in the divorce. To explain the difference, the significanc

Outdoor commercial furniture, particularly tables, often appears to lack well- designed products that address many concerns, including not only functionality and ergonomics but also aesthetic appeal. This study aims to investigate whether this perception reflects an actual problem and explore potential solutions. The purpose of this research is to explore the challenges associated with meeting th

More often than not one would encounter a problem, know that the solution has to meet some requirements, but do not how to start or how to progress towards solving it. Motivation for a computer that can solve the problem automatically without explicitly programming it is apparent, i.e. a computer that \programs itself", is greatly desired. The method of genetic programming has demonstrated it

Simulation tools are used to a wide extent in the product development process today, both to obtain better products and to reduce the development time required. Anisotropic materials are utilized in many engineering applications. Material models for materials of these types are needed in order to obtain accurate results from the simulations undertaken. In the thesis, a constitutive framework for
