Modern ship design and construction is striving to make sea transportation more fuel efficient and more environmentally friendly. One of the possible solutions is to make the ships lighter by reducing the weight of the superstructure, constructing it completely or partially with lightweight materials such as Fiber Reinforced Plastics (FRP), like glass fiber composites or carbon fiber composites. H
Over the past decades, climate change has become a more pressing subject and the environmental aspect has become increasingly important in people's everyday lives. Therefore, the bicycle as a means of transportation has received more attention compared to before in the urban planning. In the limited urban space, it is an easy way to travel. This thesis aims to analyze how it is possible to e
This thesis aims to explore the role a private network of investors can play when addressing and investing in the Sustainable Development Goals. The network explored is the Sida facilitated network Swedish Investors for Sustainable Development. The network was created in 2016 and has since worked to increase the knowledge among the members regarding how they should invest more efficiently in the S
Syftet med detta examensarbete är att utreda vilka hinderdetekteringssystem som finns tillgängliga idag eller som är under utveckling, och att ta reda på vilket system som är bäst ur ett tekniskt och samhällsekonomiskt perspektiv. Med hinderdetektering menas de system som finns på järnvägen för att detektera var på järnvägen det finns ett hinder. Det kan t.ex. vara ett tåg, en godsvagn eller ett The main purpose of this thesis is to investigate which track vacancy detection systems are available today or under development, and determine which system is best from a technical and economically perspective. Track vacancy detection systems exist to supervise the railway and indicate if a track section is occupied with an obstacle, e.g. a train, freight wagon or maintenance vehicle. These trai

This Letter presents the results of a search for a heavy particle decaying into an e(+/-)mu(+/-), e(+/-)tau(+/-), or mu(+/-)tau(+/-) final state in pp collisions at root s = 7 TeV. The data were recorded with the ATLAS detector at the LHC during 2011 and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 4.6 fb(-1). No significant excess above the Standard Model expectation is observed, and exclusions at 9
A combined search for the Standard Model Higgs boson with the ATLAS experiment at the LHC using datasets corresponding to integrated luminosities from 1.04 fb(-1) to 4.9 fb(-1) of pp collisions collected at root s = 7 TeV is presented. The Higgs boson mass ranges 112.9-115.5 GeV, 131-238 GeV and 251-466 GeV are excluded at the 95% confidence level (CL), while the range 124-519 GeV is expected to b
Devices connected to an Internet-based network, known as the Internet of Things (IoT), are becoming more common both privately in the household or on businesses. Everything from the lighting to coffee makers and washing machines, to the cars in the garage and the door locks can now be equipped with sensors and connected via the Internet to an application by users. Combitech has developed an Intern
Nuvarande äktenskapsbalk togs i bruk 1987. Bodelning med anledning av skilsmässa ska ske enligt dess 9 kap 1 §. Reglerna kring förfarandet är dock knapphändiga. Denna uppsats ämnar med rättsdogmatisk metod undersöka avvägningen mellan skyddslagstiftning och fri avtalsrätt i bodelningsregleringen. Finns det ett behov av utökat skydd för svagare part i processen? Frågeställningarna sker utifrån ett The current Marriage Code came into force in 1987. Partition of joint property due to divorce shall take place in accordance with its Chapter 9, Section 1. However, the rules of procedure are meager. This essay intends with a legal dogmatic method to examine the balance between protection legislation and free contract law in the partition of joint property regulation. Is there a need for increased
The main purpose of this essay was to study immigrants and social assistants view on why immigrants go through divorce, and why so many marriages among immigrants end in divorce. Do immigrants seek help when they go through divorce? What kind of methods does the social assistants use when they try to help immigrants with marital problems? Is it possible that shortcomings in the professional method
A raised awareness around climate change has been followed by different initiatives and targets being set around the world to decrease greenhouse gas emissions. Pressure is not only being placed on international and national bodies but also on local communities, industries, businesses and even individual households. The most prominent international action is the funding of the United Nations Frame
Costa Rica has an important banana-producing industry that requires vast amounts of pesticides. These can leak into the environment and cause health effects. The most widely used pesticide is mancozeb, which is rapidly degraded to the carcinogenic and potentially groundwater-contaminating metabolite ETU. This study was executed in Matina, one of the most densely banana-cultivated areas of Costa Ri
Pekskärmar är en typ av inmatningsenhet som möjliggör en interaktion mellan en användare och en elektronisk enhet. Interaktionen sker genom att låta användaren röra med en eller flera fingrar eller en stylus-penna på skärmen. Pekskärmar används idag till en rad olika elektroniska produkter som till exempel mobiltelefoner, surfplattor, datorer och även bankomater. På grund av sitt breda användningsTouchscreens are a type of input device that facilitate interaction between a user and an electronic device. This interaction is enabled by the user touching the screen with one or more fingers or a stylus pen.
