This report describes the design and development of weather shield concepts for wall-mounted fixed dome surveillance cameras. The aim was to create concepts that would have better functionality against rain than current solutions while at the same time being attractive, non-obtrusive products. During the first phase the challenges of a weather shield were explored in detail. Areas such as differe
The fire protection engineering is primarily about the design of fire protection systems based on identified fire risks in a building. The design process comprises of three main stages i.e. conceptual design stage, construction/implementation stage and final implemented design which is the end product. Sometimes the final implemented design deviates from either the defined goals and objectives, or
There have been numerous tragic incidents in nightclubs leading to hundreds of fatalities. This thesis attempts the current situation. Different nightclub fires from the past 17 years were analysed in order to identify the critical factors influencing these events. As most dominant factors the illegal operations of nightclubs; the use of pyrotechnics; the choice of materials; manual & automati

In this master’s thesis, an industrial control system together with a network camera and servo motors were used to automate a ball and plate labyrinth system. The two servo motors, each with its own servo drive, were connected by joint arms to the plate resting on two interconnected gimbal frames, one for each axis. A background subtraction-based ball position tracking algorithm was developed to m
Some colors might have different connotations depending on people’s cultural backgrounds. When talking about evacuation, the color employed for exit signs and flashing lights plays a significant role because it is in charge of transmitting a message to the evacuees, either danger or safety. The aims of this study are to evaluate the influence of red and green emergency wayfinding systems on people
This report focuses the use of egress models to study the airport evacuation with special focus on security doors in case of total evacuation in airport terminal buildings. Case studies are made in arrival hall and departure hall of the airport terminal based on the scenarios identified in a preliminary risk analysis carried out in the terminal. Evacuation strategies are employed in the two differ
The cost of fires caused by arson on a global-scale is estimated between 0.1 and 0.4% of a country's GDP. If arsonist uses liquid accelerants is the potential for growth much greater and the risk for loss of live is increased. It is desirable to reduce this risk by anticipating the accelerant in the design phase. In this thesis the possibility of predicting components behaviour when accelerant
In April 2014, the European Parliament endorsed a new Directive on Maritime Spatial Planning, a way to analyse and organize marine areas in an economically efficient and sustainable way. The Spatial planning includes mapping of all marine activities, such as aquaculture, shipping, nature conservation, military and wind turbines. Many interests are competing for the same geographical areas, and the
Background: Migrant health remains a rather under researched topic, particularly within the migration from and to countries within West Africa. For Cabo Verde, a ten-island archipelago, approximately 500 kilometers off the coast of Senegal, immigration is a fairly recent phenomenon and has caught the country off guard. The aim of this study was to explore how West African immigrants living in Cabo
There is a bright future for friggeboden. So far it has been a success, by allowing the villa owner to take responsibility for his/her own plot and be able to build as they want. Until now has the maximum size been 15m2, which is big enough for a guest cottage, shed or as hobby house. Now the government will change the law the 1st of July 2014 to 25m². This allows permanent housing in friggeboden.
Detta projekt tar avstamp i uttrycket social matlagning. Ordet social matlagning är en sammansättning av två ord som var och en för sig kan betyda många saker. Matlagning kan vara att ta det man har och kombinerar detta för att få mat på bordet. Ordet social kan var att man bry om sina medmänniskor. Vi tror att kombinationen av dessa två ord kan leda till något större än vad orden gör var och en f
Arable land is a valuable natural resource. In Iceland the total size of potential arable land has not been determined but preliminary estimates vary from 420 ha to 15000 ha. These have been based on different definitions of potential arable land and assumptions for minimum continuous land area. In 2010 the Farmers Association of Iceland concluded that there was a need for a standard for evaluatin
The purpose of this essay is to investigate if small physical retailers within the beauty industry encounter any problems due to consumers’ increased access to information through the use of the Internet. The conclusion from this study is that small physical retailers face three main problems due to consumers’ increased access to information. In addition, a new model of the consumer buying process

Introduction: There is a need for risk stratification of emergency department (ED) chest pain patients. The Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events risk score (GRACE RS) predicts adverse events in patients with confirmed acute coronary syndrome (ACS), and has been validated on unselected ED patients with chest pain. Clinical gestalt is the unstructured overall clinical assessment, based on the ph
Accessibility is something that many take for granted. For people with disabilities is, more often than not, the case not so. This in particular becomes a problem if the ability to reside in a community’s streetscape becomes a problem. It is mainly these people that society must adapt to. Public transport is an important part of society. Buses are a large part of the public transport. Public trans
In the modern times of industry where hydraulic are of use, all the motors run on their nominal workload, where the pumps are constant. The given flow is regulated with the help of valves which chokes the flow. From an energy perspective this contributes to a great amount of energy losses, where the demand can be much lower than the supply. We can observe from today’s society that the energy costs
