Despite a growing interest in the conflict-disaster nexus, major knowledge gaps persist on operational knowledge and guidance on conflict considerations in disaster risk management programming. The objective of the study was to identify potential pathways for strengthening disaster risk management efforts in fragility-, violence-, and conflict-affected contexts. A collective case study was conduct
Construction accounts for major challenges when it comes to reducing the environmental impact. Circular economy is a concept that opens up for a more circular holistic approach and when the concept is implemented in the construction industry the concept can get the construction industry to move away from the traditional linear model. This fact opens up for a question about how circular economy can
In this thesis we show that the best forecast for near future yield curves are performed with a full specication of our chosen model and for far future yield curves the forecast is better with a partial specication of the model. We conclude that the driving factors for the banks' yield curves are not as closely related to Swedbank's as amongst the other peers which show that Swedbank stand
To examine nanoparticle toxicity there is a need to produce defined nanoparticles dispersed in a colloidal suspension. Such a solution could also be interesting for other fields such as nano-medicine. In order to disperse the particles in the liquid there are often surfactant added to the process that alternates the surface of the particles. As the research shows that the surface of a nanoparticle
Principalansvar innebär att man blir ansvarig för någon annans vållande och är således en avvikelse från den svenska skadeståndsrättens grundprincip som föreskriver att man endast ansvarar för sina egna handlingar. Innan skadeståndslagen (SkL) trädde ikraft fanns endast rättspraxis som underlag för ett inskränkt principalansvar. Genom införandet av skadeståndslagen blev arbetsgivarens principalansVicarious liability means being responsible for someone else's negligence and therefor a deviation from the Swedish tort law basic principle, which states that you are only responsible for your own actions. Before the Swedish Liability Act (SkL) came into force there were only case law as the basis for a limited vicarious liability. With the introduction of the Liability Act the vicarious liab
Delningsekonomi är ett relativt nytt fenomen som har dykt upp under 2000-talet. Delningsekonomin går ut på att individer delar ägandeskap genom att låna ut i stort sett vad som helst när det gäller olika produkter eller tjänster, till skillnad från när produkter eller tjänster ägdes och utnyttjades av den enskilde. Det finns idag många olika företag inom detta område, där några av de mest välkända
This qualitative research studies how airlines can use social media as a branding tool in the South Korean market. In order to execute the research properly, the South Korean market had to be studied in terms of social media environment and consumer behavior. In addition, the airline perspective had to be brought in with high representativeness. The researchers decided to use Finnair as a qualitat
HVAC systems are widely used to provide a good indoor air quality in buildings. Buildings stand for a substantial part of the total energy consumption in developed countries, and with an increased focus on cost reductions and energy savings, it is necessary to use intelligent and energy-efficient controllers. Accurate models describing the dynamics of the building system is a good basis for intel
The integration of the global economy is a phenomena that is increasingly evident in our everyday lives. Ranging from rapid economic growth in developing nations to the flow of capital across continents, globalization is affecting almost all corners of modern society. This includes the higher education sector, in which recent years have seen unprecedented growth in Asia as the economy increasingly
Abstract Problem/Bakgrund: Aspergers Syndrom (AS) och Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) är två neuropsykiatriska funktionsnedsättningar. AS karaktäriseras främst av svårigheter och begränsningar med socialt umgänge, ömsesidigt socialt samspel, brister i kommunikation och kontroll av känslor. ADD kännetecknas generellt genom problem med koncentrations- och uppmärksamhetsproblem och svårighet att fi
Syftet med undersökningen är att rapportera hur rytmikpedagogik och rörelsebaserad musikundervisning kan bidra till ömsesidig integration bland elever i en multikulturell svensk skola. Jag har genomfört en studie där jag kombinerar en internetbaserad enkät med en fokusgruppsintervju. Femtio musikpedagoger över hela Sverige svarade på enkäten, de flesta vilka arbetar med El Sistema. El Sistema erbjThe purpose of this study is to investigate how eurhythmics and body-based music education could contribute to mutual integration of students in a multicultural Swedish school. I have conducted a study, combining an Internet-based survey with a focus group interview. Fifty music teachers throughout Sweden answered the survey, most of who work at El Sistema. El Sistema offers optional music educati
Undersökningar med joniserade strålning är ibland nödvändiga för diagnos och behandling av gravida kvinnor. Det är viktigt att röntgensjuksköterskor har rätt kompetens och utbildning för att möta vårdtagarens behov. Bristfällig kunskap om negativa konsekvenser av strålning kan leda till onödig oro hos gravida kvinnor. Kunskap om potentiella negativa effekter till följd av röntgenstrålning tillåter
This thesis examines if it’s possible for Global Cities to claim international political authority on a legitimate basis of State Capacity. How is it that Global Cities can develop their own independent foreign and security policies even though these areas traditionally have been seen as a monopolized core function of the nation state and its central governments? Why do the international system of
Material science has become an important research area in order to fulfill today’s requirements on lighter, cheaper and more sustainable materials. The European spallation source is a research center based on the world’s most powerful neutron source, which will enable new possibilities to evaluate material properties down to an atomic level. The linear accelerator (Linac), accelerates with help of
This thesis investigates how to establish the relationship between OSI layer 7 parameters of video streaming and the QoE of the user, and to evaluate which methods are most tting for the estimation of QoE. The project is made in cooperation with LTH and Acreo, and is a part of the Next generation over-the-top multimedia services (NOTTS) 7and the Eco system for Future Media Distribution (EFRAIM) p
