The following report contains a fire safety evaluation of the Nynäshamn hospital in Nynäshamn, Sweden. The report is a part of the course Fire Safety Evaluation, a course in the Fire Protection Engineering Program at Lund University, Faculty of Engineering, Lund, Sweden. The purpose with the report was to evaluate the personal safety in the building, specifically in regards to egress, in case of
Exposure to vibrations from tools and machines used in construction work can induce damages to the human body. Oscillations around a fix point with a certain direction, frequency and magnitude describe the phenomenon vibrations. Their influence is generally expressed as acceleration [m/s2]. Furthermore, vibrations are separated in two categories; hand‐arm vibrations or whole body vibrations. Expos
In certain types of glulam roof structures with large spans, reliable methods for design with respect to instability are lacking. One example is a three-hinged roof truss with steel tension rods as shown in Figure 1. The types of structures shown in Figure 1 are investigated in the diploma project with the purpose to evaluate and improve the currently used design methods and detailing. Calculation
Genom Europakonventionen och regeringsformen tillförsäkras den enskilde ett flertal rättigheter. Varje medborgare åtnjuter bland annat skydd till frihet och personlig säkerhet samt till privat och familjeliv, sitt hem och sin korrespondens. Dessa friheter får begränsas genom lag under förutsättning att begränsningen tillgodoser ändamål som är godtagbara i ett demokratiskt samhälle. Att utreda brot
The thesis is done for the company Gambro which manufactures dialysis products worldwide. The idea of this thesis is to investigate weaknesses of the communication protocol which is used in one of the Gambro dialysis machines, Prismaflex and thereby investigate opportunities to improve the system by using other protocols. The thesis is divided into three major parts. They are the study of Prismafl
The aim of this thesis is to investigate the factors hindering and enabling the use of the environmental composite indicator, the Ecological Footprint, in Denmark. In this project, Actor-network theory and case study research will be applied to the empirical material, consisting of five semi-structured interviews and written documents. The case study approach works as a general research strategy,
The purpose of this report is to evaluate the current fire hazards and evacuation safety on board the M/S Hansa in Helsingborg. The report is a part of the course, VBR054, Fire safety evaluation. The main goal of this report is to study the safety of people evacuating the building, therefore damage to property and structural stability has not been evaluated. M/S Hansa was originally built as a pas
I Zinkgruvan, Sverige, bryts zink, bly och silver ur en stratiform malmkropp. Denna anses vara syngenetiskt avsatt och återfinns i metavulkaniska och metasedimentära bergarter. En förkastning, Knallaförkastningen, delar malmförekomsten i två delar. Den västra delen, Knalla, är kraftigt deformerad medan den östra, Nygruvan, har en väl utvecklad lagring. Stratigrafiskt under Zn-Pb-Ag- malmen i västrAt Zinkgruvan, Sweden, zinc, lead and silver are mined from a stratiform ore body. It is considered syngenetic and situated in metavolcanic and metasedimentary rocks. A fault, the Knalla fault, separates the Zinkgruvan deposit into two parts. In the western part, Knalla, the ore is severely deformed, whereas in the eastern part, Nygruvan, a distinct layering occurs. In the western part of Knalla,
Today the word identity is filled with many different contents. Depending from which perspective one tries to examine a scientific research-question, there is a variety of interpretations of the problem. In this thesis the aim is to prove with help of postmodernist theory how the Swedish identity was built by the articulation of difference towards the other over decades. The analysis is conducted
This bachelor-level thesis in historical osteology deals with several aspects of the life-cycle of an Roman Iron Age farm in southern Scania. Excavated in the 1980's by Lars Larsson, the farm was located near a place called Långåker in the Dybäck area, on a cape which stretched out into a minor bog. Our work concerns why the Iron Age people settled the area, how well fragmented bone survives
Abstract The aim of this essay is to analyse the effects of women's representation on actual political outcome. Quantitative method and materials are used to study the consequences of women's political participation in Swedish municipals. Many theorists think that women have special interests, different from men?s, which is also the belief of this essay. This political interest is here d
The main characteristic of the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) introduced by the Kyoto Protocol is its twofold objective, aimed at integrating the goal of reducing CO2 emissions, on a local and global scale, with the promotion of sustainable development in developing countries. This work discusses how sustainability assessment at the project level remains a critical issue, as it is often regarde

In this thesis I examine the development and expansion of judicial power in Sweden. The concept of judicial review is defined and related to democratic theory, and the various forms of judicial review in use in Sweden are explained. The main focus is on the political and scientific discussion concerning judicial review since the mid 1970s. It is shown that judicial review so far has been used only
Chemistry and Human Health, Division VII of the International Union on Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC), provides guidance on risk assessment methodology and, as appropriate, assessment of risks to human health from chemicals of exceptional toxicity. The aim of this document is to describe dose-response relationships for the health effects of low-level exposure to cadmium, in particular, with an
In the brain, focal ischemia results in a local region of cell death and disruption of both local and remote functional neuronal networks. Tissue reorganization following stroke can be limited by factors such as extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules that prevent neuronal growth and synaptic plasticity. The brain's ECM plays a crucial role in network formation, development, and regeneration of the c
