Simulering kan förbättra hanteringen av järnvägsstörningar Förseningar i järnvägssystemet kostar årligen såväl industrin som samhället miljardbelopp. Därför är det viktigt att minimera tiden som ett tåg står stilla efter en störning, som till exempel ett kontaktledningsbrott eller en personpåkörning. I examensarbetet presenteras en simuleringsmodell som kan användas som ett verktyg för att hitta Within the Swedish rail network, maximum track capacity is reached on multiple sections with costly delays as a result. Therefore minimizing the time a train is stationary after a disruption such as overhead line damage or suicide is important. Prior work has mapped stakeholders within the management of the two scenarios, but due to complexity, finding effective means of improvement is difficult.

This thesis explores the morphological integration of Standard Average European (SAE) words into Modern Standard Arabic (MSA). The topic constitutes a challenge insofar as SAE and MSA are typologically very different, and integration of words from SAE into MSA should therefore be generally difficult. Loanwords were selected from a collection of contemporary short stories and filtered through a Mod

Kaskadeffekter inom samhällsviktig verksamhet Det är först när man rullar in trettio minuter försenad på perrongen, som man inser hur kritiska vissa infrastrukturer är för samhället. Ibland beror de här felen på störningar från andra system, så kallade kaskadeffekter. Alla som har växt upp på landet, speciellt innan Gudruns framfart ledde till åtgärder, är plågsamt medvetna om hur jobbigt alltiMost current methods for studying cascading effects rely on written sources to extract information. This thesis presents an empirical method for studying cascading effects, when little written information of the event is available. The method presented has been influenced by incident investigation methods. It has been applied on a case of flooding in south of Sweden and revised based on the result

The aim of this report is to find cost-efficient fire safety solutions for saving lives due to fires in Swedish apartment buildings. This is done by evaluating existing systems through a cost-benefit analysis based on the value of a statistical life. The fire protection systems potential effects for different types of fires are evaluated based on a scenario analysis of the most common deaths due t

This study implicates research on outdoor pedagogies and a solution to support and extend pre-schools visits in nature environments. Pedagogies where daily activities take place in nature environments is growing among Swedish schools and pre-schools. Research about child development shows that free play outside has a number of positive effects on children’s health and well-being. Nature has proven

The NPM is considered as an efficacious way to improve effectiveness and efficiency in management control of public health for its market-driven and market-driving characteristics. Theoretically, it is a hybrid of economics and business management in public management. Because of its advanced adaptability and flexibility, the NPM has been widely applied to many fields and yield results. In China’s

An increasing number of students of various minority and immigrant backgrounds makes greater knowledge of the sources of cross-linguistic influence among bilingual students not only of theoretical value, but also beneficial for improving language teaching and instruction. The aim of this thesis has been to investigate conceptual cross-linguistic influence in functional bilinguals with a focus on i

Ett snabbt program för automatiserad analys av mikroorganismsamhällen Mikroorganismer finns överallt i vår omgivning. De lever i alla tänkbara miljöer, från i våra kroppar till i vårt dricksvatten. Olika organismer trivs under olika förhållanden. Vi kan studera vilka organismer som lever på en viss plats för att lära oss om deras omgivning. Men för att göra det måste vi ha rätt verktyg.Recent advances in the sequencing technology has led to an increasing pressure on the computer programs used for analysing the sequence data. The programs should be able to provide accurate analysis in a reasonable time span. 16S rRNA analysis is performed by using PCR to amplify the 16S rRNA genes from bacteria and archaea in a sample followed by sequencing of the amplicons. The result is text fi

Resurserna som företag drar nytta av i forskningsparker kan härledas till agglomerationer av företag. CIPM-modellen och Diamant-modellen mäter resurser på nationell och regional nivå, men inte vilka specifika resurser som det enskilda företaget får.

This paper presents an opportunity for the uncertainty that has plagued the novel's criticism to appear as absences in the body of historical knowledge, particularly regarding the notion of life after death. Taking appearance (eg. proof of existence), as opposed to disappearance, as a universally accepted value allows this analysis to interrogate the novel's logic in relation to a variety

Swelling Properties of Pure Na and Ca bentonites Swelling of natural bentonite, with mono and divalent counter ions and mixture of both bentonites, in heavy water is studied. For this purpose, pure Na and Ca bentonites are prepared by ion exchange method. 2HNMR technique is used to measure qudrupolar splitting. Electrostatic interaction between platelets is mainly responsible in swelling in case
