Bränder i nattklubbar är ständigt återkommande och många gånger med förödande konsekvenser till följd. Station nightclub och Kiss nightclub är två exempel på bränder med ett stort antal döda. För oss i Sverige lever inte minst minnena från Göteborgsbranden kvar, en brand som kostade 63 ungdomars liv. Att se till att nattklubbar och krogmiljöer är så säkra som möjligt att vistas i är av största vik
Scholars have argued that successful policymaking should take into account the systemic aspect of a Regional Innovation System and involve a variety of actors in policy processes. Leadership is an important element for enabling collaboration and coordination among these actors, for example in the emergence of policy networks. The aim of this study is to provide a dynamic view of leadership in poli
Artland är en reflektion kring relationen mellan människan och andra arter, samt en vision om hur stadslandskapet kan bli artrikare. Mängden vilda djur minskar drastiskt i världen, det är fler och fler arter som väljer staden som alternativt habitat och det finns ett behov av närnatur och sammanhängande gröna rum i den urbana kontexten. Detta ledde för mig fram till frågorna: Hur kan arkitekturArtland is a personal reflection on the relationship between the human being and other species, and a vision for how cities can be richer in species. The amount of wild animals decrease drastically all over the world, more and more species move into the city, there is a need for nature and green infrastructure in the urban setting for many species. This made me ask the questions: How can archite
Simulation studies are today an important tool in the development of new networks. For this purpose the NS-3 network simulator can be used. The focus of this thesis work lies on 802.11ac, the latest version of the Wi-Fi standard. NS-3 does not support the IEEE 802.11ac standard and the goal was to implement features for this. Different deployment scenarios were modeled in various conditions and th
Studier har funnit att en liten grupp persistenta våldsbrottsdömda är ansvarig för majoriteten av brottslighet. Syftet med denna studie var att bredda förståelsen för persistens i våldsbrottslighet genom att undersöka dess kopplingar till self-control (självkontroll). Studien undersökte brottshistorik, psykiatriska diagnoser och olika aspekter av begreppet självkontroll i en grupp bestående av 251Studies have shown that a small group of offenders, persistent in violent criminal behavior are responsible for the majority of criminal convictions. The aim of the current study was to broaden the understanding of persistent criminal behavior by investigating its associations to self-control. The study investigated the criminal history, mental health and self-control in a sample of 251 incarcerat
The aim of this interdisciplinary study is to consider how teachers of English as a second language (ESL) might engage with critical pedagogy through the use of literature. This is illustrated by, on the one hand, applying a Black feminist lens to Octavia E. Butler’s 1979 science fiction novel Kindred, which is argued to constitute an appropriate novel for upper secondary students to read. On the
Value at Risk is a commonly used risk measure which calculates the smallest losses you risk to lose from having an asset, given a certain risk level and time period. Even though Value at Risk is applicable to all different types of assets, some studies suggest that this risk measure is not suitable for developing countries/emerging markets. This is because these countries’ assets generate very obs

Problems: What is human capital? How is a knowledge worker’s human capital cultivated? In what way can an impresario help a knowledge worker to cultivate and capitalise on his or her human capital? Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to explore the impresario approach on talent with today’s knowledge workers and their human capital. A visualisation of such an approach might lead to ways of assis
The notion of Climate debt (or Carbon debt) has been used for more than a decade, but it was only during 2009 that it got a lot of attention through a NGO campaign and through interventions in the UNFCCC by Bolivian delegates. Climate debt is defined by Boliva as over-consumption of the available capacity of the Earth’s atmosphere and climate system, and it calls for the developed countries to rep
Words that are used for mimicking sounds are called onomatopoeia. These words are extremely common in the Japanese language. In fact, they are so common that they are used even in formal situations. In Japanese, onomatopoetic expressions are often used as adverbs and can, as such, be used to explain how someone is laughing. By putting the onomatopoetic expression gera-gera, often along with the pa
The purpose of our thesis was to examine how the drug-education at the senior level of compulsory school was constructed, seen from its purpose and apprehension of its influence. This considering the existing conditions for the school personnel and the pupils to reach each other in the educational situation. We wanted to describe this from both groups point of view. Essential questions were: · Wha
The Light Dark Matter eXperiment (LDMX) is an upcoming experiment to test the existence of dark matter in the mass range of 1 MeV - 1 GeV. It does so by looking for missing momentum and energy in collisions of an electron beam and a tungsten target, which could potentially indicate the existence of dark matter. One of the main detector components of LDMX is the hadronic calorimeter, which is used
Nya behandlingar har implementerats i Sverige för att minska antalet personer med självskadebeteende. En av dessa behandlingar är Emotion Regulation Group Therapy (ERGT). Syftet med denna studie var att utforska sex patienters upplevelser av att genomgå ERGT och vilka förändringar i såväl mående som psykiatriska symptom (mätt med Deliberate Self-Harm Inventory, Depression Anxiety Stress Scale och
Diffuse reflectance Spectroscopy is a non-invasive and real-time technique used both in research and clinical studies for purposes such as identifying tumors and monitoring their response to therapy. Here, a compact, cost-effective and portable experimental setup is used in order to acquire the diffuse reflectance spectra from tissue-like liquid phantoms. Two fiber optic probes with different sour
