Syfte: Syftet med arbetet är att jämföra byggmetoderna stolpverk och regelverk ur aspekterna tid, kostnad, materialåtgång, byggnadsmetoder, kompetens och design. Frågorna man ställde var: Frågeställning: Hur skiljer sig ett hus byggt med stolpverks metoden kontra ett likvärdigt hus byggt med regelverks metoden? Vilka för- och nackdelar finns det med stolpverkshus jämfört med regelverkshus? MeAim: The purpose of the work is to compare construction methods of timber framing and stud framing from the aspects of time, cost, material consumption, construction methods, competence and design. The questions asked were: Research questions: How does a house built with the timber frame method differ from an equivalent house built with the stud framing method? What are the advantages and disad
There are countless amount of questions about online learning today, this dissertation meant to extensively address two of them: the importance of control over learning pace and synchronous social learning – in other words – interactivity. Placing online learning in the context of the current participatory media landscape serves with understanding why people engage and participate and how these mo

Många organisationer arbetar aktivt med att kommunicera sin identitet genom värdeord, för att, förutom genom sina produkter, framhäva och placera sig på marknaden.

Inte sällan uppstår dock en diskrepans, där en organiMany organizations communicate their identity through words of value, in order to, other than through their products, expose and place themselves on the market. Internet is a growing platform for organizations to be viewed by the public. Because of this, many organizations use their websites to communicate with their audiences.

Anställningsförhållandet grundas på ett personligt förhållande och präglas av ett starkt behov av förtroende. I bestående anställningsavtal skall arbetstagaren i stort sett sätta arbetsgivarens intresse framför sitt eget. Vilken skyldighet har emellertid arbetstagare att iaktta arbetsgivarens intresse vid ingående av anställningsavtalet? Syftet med denna uppsats har varit att utreda i vilken utstrWhen entering into a contract it is important to maintain a certain grade of honesty and loyalty. Not only is it wrong to deceive a party in order to reach a beneficial agreement, it is in certain cases also contrary to good faith and fair dealing to leave a mistaken party in error. The law therefore imposes a duty of disclosure that requires a party to reveal all matters known, in its entirety, t
INTRODUCTION In the last years a lot of researches about source separation have been realized, like extraction of a signal of interest (vocal recognition application), identification of which source gives which sound (motor engine applications) or noise source characterization (environmental application). Most of these techniques for sound source estimation use the signal-subspace approach, where
Bicycle traffic has a significant function for a sustainable society with good public health and environment. In order to increase the number of cyclists there is a need for a high overall standard in level of service as well as a keen attention to detail. For citizens to view the bicycle as an attractive means of transportation, cycle lanes must satisfy the cyclist’s desire for shorter travel tim
There is an ongoing discussion in information retrieval research regarding the merits of subject indexing with controlled vocabularies as opposed to relying on free-text descriptions. Earlier research has compared subject headings with other metadata, such as document titles or tables of contents, to determine the relative value of subject headings as subject access points in an information search
In 2016, a much-noted museum debate took place in Swedish media in which some critics accused the government of politicizing its public museums and using them as propaganda tools by detail managing them. These are serious accusations which motivate a thorough review of the relation between cultural politics and museums. With the aim of investigating politicization of public museums, Malmö Museum
Nigeria, Côte d'Ivoire, Cameroon, Guinea Conakry, Congo, Senegal, Mali, Togo, Ghana, Niger, Burkina Faso, Gambia, Sierra Leone ... the starting point has different names; the arrival, only three: Ceuta, Melilla or the Iberian peninsula. In between, a hard road that usually lasts months, in some cases years and in the worst of the stages only leads to death (1,471 deaths between 2008 and 2013).
Gravitational encounters between a single star and a binary system can frequently occur in the cores of dense stellar systems like globular clusters. These three-body scattering encounters can lead to a variety of outcomes since the energy of the binary components can be exchanged with the interacting single star. The outcome of these interactions strongly depend on the initial conditions of the i
This thesis is a qualitative case study conducted in the context of the Swedish fashion retailer MQ. Due to the growing importance of sustainability the purpose of this study is to investigate how retailers’ sustainability work on corporate level is translated and communicated in the retail store environment. Further, it does also aim to explore how the physical space can be used to enable, encour
From June to November 1945, over 70 shipments of flat-packed architectural elements arrived at the harbours of Nexø and Rønne on the Danish island Bornholm. The shipments consisted of prefabricated interior fixtures and ready-to-be mounted walls. The Danish municipality prepared infrastructure, named new roads, and within a year, 300 wooden houses were assembled on site.

The automobiles of today are getting more fuel efficient in order to meet future emission standards. It is also important to have more fuel efficient engines than the competitors. The consequence is that engine development is intensified and more ideas needs to be tested thoroughly. One of the ideas at Volvo cars is a tumble flap. The tumble flap is controlled to close a predefined part of the int

When developing systems for indoor navigation it is important that the user can be led between rooms through doors and openings, and is not told to go through walls. In order to provide this navigation assistance there needs to exist a representation of the indoor environment. One alternative for this is a navigation graph, which—in this thesis—is an undirected graph that connects rooms such that
Respiratory diseases are a major global health challenge where current inhalation medication is primarily by oral inhalation. An alternative administration route is by nasal inhalation allowing for rapid drug absorption, high patient compliance and avoidance of the first-pass effect. Despite its potential for local and systemic drug delivery there is limited research on active inhalation of dry po
