Inom ramen för det svenska forskningsprojektet Taktik och metodik vid brand i undermarksanläggningar har ett enkelt planeringsverktyg utvecklats som bl a erbjuder stöd till beslutsfattare involverade i planeringen av räddningsinsatser i väg- och järnvägstunnlar. Verktyget, som har utvecklats vid Lunds universitet, heter TuFT och är en förkortning av Tunnel Fire Tools. TuFT kan beskrivas som ett myWithin the Swedish research project Rescue tactics and methodology during fires in underground facilities, a simple decision support tool has been developed. The tool can, for example, aid decision makers involved in the early phase of road and rail tunnel fire risk assessments. The tool has been developed at Lund University and has been termed TuFT, which is an abbreviation for Tunnel Fire Tools.

This report uses a relational theory of risk within which risk is understood as a relationship between a risk object and an object at risk where the risk object threatens the value embedded in the object at risk. A case study of risk management in railway planning examined through a relational understanding of risk demonstrates how riskwork is conditioned by what is valued, how, and by whom. The r

Popular Abstract in Swedish Vid förbränning av bränslen som innehåller kol, till exempel ved, olja och biobränslen, bildas sotpartiklar då det finns ett underskott av syre, så kallad ofullständig förbränning. Det är sotpartiklarna i brasan som ger dess gula sken. Dessa partiklar är små och består till största delen av oförbränt kol från bränslet. De små sotpartiklarna är hälsofarliga då de följer In the thesis work, two X-ray scattering techniques, small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS and WAXS) were combined to study particle formation in-situ and non-intrusively in ethylene laboratory flames. Combining these two techniques enabled information concerning the size and concentration as well as the subnanometer structure of the nanoparticles within the 1–100 nm range there to be obtai

For the very first time we present 3D simulations of planets embedded in stellar irradiated discs. It is well known that thermal effects could reverse the direction of planetary migration from inwards to outwards, potentially saving planets in the inner, optically thick parts of the protoplanetary disc. When considering stellar irradiation in addition to viscous friction as a source of heating, th

In concrete most cracks start from an uncracked surface and grow through a large portion of the depth of the specimen. Both formation and growth are influenced by stresses from imposed deformations, shrinkage, temperature etc. Thus fracture mechanics, when applied to concrete, should be able to analyse the following: 1. The formation of a crack in a specimen which is not notched or precracked. 2.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Gastroesofageal refluxsjukdom innebär att maginnehåll backar (reflux) upp från magsäcken till matstrupen på ett onormalt sätt. Hos den friska individen finns flera mekanismer som skyddar matstrupen från reflux, vilket tydligt åskådliggörs av att man efter en måltid kan ställa sig upp och ner utan att föda backar upp i matstrupen. Vid refluxsjukdom föreligger defekter inEsophageal pH monitoring is important in the clinical management of patients with symptoms suggestive of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and in research aiming to clarify the mechanisms involved in the development of GERD complications. Catheter-based techniques for pH recording are uncomfortable, not well tolerated by all patients and cannot reliably measure acid exposure in the most dist

Background: Persons with clinical onset of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) before 65 years of age are diagnosed with early-onset AD (EOAD). The prevalence of EOAD is low, but varies among studies from 6% to 16%. Most individuals with EOAD are still working, have an active social life, and might have children living at home. Therefore, the consequences of being diagnosed early with a disease that implies

In "Temperate Women. Educators, Entrepreneurs and Political Agents. The White Ribbon 1900–1930" the female Christian temperance union, the White Ribbon, is in focus. The organization’s ambition was to create a temperate and moral society, running a variety of philanthropic institutions and adult education, as well as non-alcohol restaurants. The aim of the thesis is to study the White Ribbon’s so

Sensitivity analysis consists of an integral and important validatory check of a computer simulation model before the code is used in performing any kind of analysis operation. The present paper demonstrates the use of a relatively new method and tool for conducting global sensitivity analysis (GSA) for environmental models, providing simultaneously the first GSA study of the widely used 1d soil-v

Hur påverkar Herpes Simplex Virus vilka gener som uttrycks i den infekterade cellen? Herpes Simplex Virus har förmågan att ändra vilka gener som uttrycks i en infekterad cell. Detta gör att viruset får verktyg att ändra på proteinerna på den infekterade cellens yta. Vi har undersökt hur den lyckas med detta genom att blockera olika signalvägar och mäta hur mycket RNA av olika gener som produceratHerpes Simplex Virus type 1 (HSV-1) is a virus infecting over 90 % of the population. It causes latent infections in nerve cells and can upon reactivation travel along the neurons and cause lytic infections with painful blisters as a result. HSV-1 infects multiple cell types, fibroblasts and T-cells among others. During infection HSV-1 is known to downregulate the transcription of many of the gene

The aim of this master thesis is to develop a laboratory process that Saab Ericsson Space AB (SE) can use to demonstrate their fault tolerant computer systems at exhibitions. The process is an inverted pendulum shaped as a rocket to symbolize that the company develops fault tolerant control systems for satellites and carrier rockets e.g. for Ariane 5.

The inverted pendulum is a classical

Grooming är ett vedertaget begrepp för det tillvägagångssätt som förövare använder sig av för att ta kontakt med barn, ofta på internet, för att slutligen begå sexuella brott mot barnet. Internetets expansion har på många sätt gett förövare fler tillvägagångssätt att komma i kontakt med barn. En stor andel av barnen i Sverige använder sociala medier, varav många någon gång har blivit kontaktade onGrooming is an established word for the approach that perpetrators are using to contact children, oftentimes over the Internet, ultimately to commit sexual offenses against the child. The expansion of the Internet has in many ways made it easier for perpetrators to approach and contact children. The vast majority of Swedish children use social media, many of whom at some point have been contacted

The exponential-6 (exp-6) potential is an intermolecular pair potential that is widely used to model fluids at high densities. The path from molecular interaction to equation of state (EOS) for a gas is not straightforward however. Monte Carlo methods and molecular dynamics give accurate results but are too slow for demanding applications like detonation modelling or numerical simulations of react

After the major populist events such as Trump and Brexit, the media politicians turned their attention to the socio-economic and political division between big cities and small countryside communities. Rural areas where right-wing populist parties have found a large part of their support have besome “left-behind places", described as forgotten and misunderstood. The question of why these popu

The aim of this study is to explore and understand how feminism or something that resembles feminism could be portrayed visually and verbally. In order to shed light on this question, an advertising image by the clothing company Monki promulgated in 2016, is analyzed through a set of different theories, and compared to an art piece by the conceptual artist Barbara Kruger. The study demonstrates, w

The present study concerns the implementation of a voluntary job rotation program for individual and organizational development. In order to increase participation in job rotation programs, it is crucial to understand the phenomenon of non-participation. Accordingly, the present study aims to (a) identify reasons for non-participation from an employee perspective and (b) uncover possible hindrance

I denna uppsats undersöks den svenska djurskyddslagstiftningen och huruvida den medför ett tillräckligt starkt juridiskt skydd för djuren samt om och i vilken omfattning djurens skyddsvärde får stå tillbaka för andra intressen. De centrala författningarna är djurskyddslagen och djurplågeribestämmelsen i 16 kap 13§ BrB. I uppsatsen behandlas även material från ett flertal djurrättsorganisationer. FThis thesis aims to investigate the Swedish animal protection law and whether not it constitutes a strong enough legal protection for the animals. Also, if and how much the animals’ worth of protection is pushed back to favour other interests. The central pieces of legislation are the Animal Welfare Act and the regulation of animal abuse in the 16th chapter of the Swedish Penal code. The thesis al

Nutrient recovered faecal sludge is a novel alternative fertilizer product, and is proposed to be promoted in places where improvement in sanitation management is needed, for example in Uganda’s capital Kampala. However, Uganda and most of Africa is perceived as a faecofobic area, i.e. where faeces are stigmatized and guarded by taboos, and there is lacking information regarding Ugandan farmers’ p
