This rapport investigates hoarding in Sweden from a fire safety perspective. The aim is to help people, who will meet people suffering from pathological collecting. A study of articles that touched hoarding was made and temperature calculations were done. Swedish building regulations, Jordabalkens chapter regarding rent and the Swedish condominium law where also examined. Hoarding leads in many ca

I Sverige finns det ett stort antal områden som är förorenade. En uppskattning från Naturvårds-verket är att det kan finnas över 82000 sådana områden. Helsingborgs stad har identifierat fastigheter inom kommungränsen som eventuellt kan vara förorenade. Basen för Helsingborgs arbete är tidigare fastighetsundersök-ningar, så kallade MIFO fas1-undersökningar, utförda av Länsstyrelsen i Skåne. I samarIn Sweden there are numerous polluted places. An estimation from the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency puts the number to more than 82000. The City of Helsingborg have identified potentially polluted real estate properties within its city limits. The city based its efforts on prior work from the Skåne County Administrative Board, so called MIFO phase1-investigations. In cooperation with the

ECG is a method used in diagnostics and monitoring of the heart. The ECG measures the electrical activity between two or more predetermined positions on the body surface. These ECG signals might be disturbed by surrounding magnetic _elds, which might induce an interference into the signals. A tram passing by an ECG equipment has the possibility to induce interference into the ECG signals, due to c

Conservation of the Stone Tiger in Taiwan: An Exploratory Study Leopard cats (Prionailurus bengelensis), named for their colorations and patterns that resemble leopards, are small, wild felids that are broadly distributed throughout Asia. They are also referred to as “stone tiger” (a direct translation from Chinese) in Taiwan, which can be attributed to how they will become motionless in the pre

Ett primtal är ett heltal vars enda delare är 1 och talet själv, så kallade triviala delare. Under slutet av 1500-talet arbetade Pierre de Fermat med att hitta en beskrivning av de primtal som givet ett heltal n kunde skrivas på formen x^2+ny^2. Samtliga inblandade tal var heltal, vilket gjorde att ekvationerna i fråga var diofantiska ekvationer. Ekvationer av detta slag ängades det mycket tid åt Dirichlet’s theorem regarding existence of infinitely many primes in progressions on the form a, a + n, a + 2n... when (a,n) = 1 is well known and proved by using Dirichlet series. This thesis will mainly treat the special case when a = 1 without the use of such series. In the first section of the thesis we show existence of an upper bound as a function of n for when the first prime occurs in progres

Denna studie har undersökt eventuella samband mellan isocialiseringstaktiker under introduktionsprocessen för nyanställda och deras upplevda self-efficacy och organisatoriska engagemang. Det är en uppföljning av tidigare forskning gjord av Gareth Jones som använder en modifierad version av den enkät han utvecklade. Urvalet består av enskilda butiker från ett marknadsledande företag inom dagligvaruThis study examines correlations between socialization tactics for onboarding new employees and their experienced self-efficacy and organizational commitment. The study was proposed and inspired by Gareth Jones who studied socialization tactics and developed a survey for the theorized definition of the different tactics, which is used in a modified version. The sample is drawn from separate stores

Studien visar på att det inte enbart är betydande inom intern employer branding att skapa förståelse för en organisations uttalade värderingar utan att det är de anställdas involvering och inkludering i värderingsarbetet som leder till lojalitet, engagemang, emotionell bundenhet och identifikation till organisationen.The study shows that it is not only significant in the field of internal employer branding to create an understanding of an organization´s stated values to the employees. In the study it is founded that the work with the values leads to involvement for the employees´ which creates loyalty, engagement, emotional connection and identification to the organization.

Uppsatsen undersöker principbegreppets olika nyanser och betydelser i det rättsliga språket. Den grundläggande tesen är att vissa rättsliga praktiska satser får epitetet princip, på grund av att de på ett eller annat sätt skiljer sig från den typiska rättsregeln. Den typiska rättsregeln definieras som en konditional, deontisk sats som återfinns i de institutionella rättskällorna. Fem olika särskiIt is argued that principles fill the following functions in the legal system. They create coherence and meaning in the system. This function is connected to the fact that principles in many cases are summaries of a greater legal material. Principles also fill the function of rule interpretation. When a legal rule is found to be an example of a legal principle it affects the interpretation of this

This study investigates changes in the composition of vascular plants on a steep hill with rich grassland flora, situated within a large horse-grazed pasture, in southwestern Scania, Sweden. Abundance data for 149 plant species, collected within 220 square-meter plots in both 1982 and 2014, were related to a set of species indicator values (mostly Ellenberg values) as well as plot-specific data on

The purpose of this report was to examine if there was an easy way for the rescue services to get knowledge about the possible consequences regarding a fire in an area of densely-built wooden buildings. By following the method proposed in this report rescue services can get an understanding if their capacity to combat a fire in this type of area is sufficient. The method is originated in two pathw

Everybody involves stress in everyday life but not everyone handles it well. According to World Health Organization, stress and stress-related disorders are growing and in Sweden these disorders are considered serious public health problems. In this project, I am focusing in finding the way to help people decrease their stress. I developed a product that guides users to deep breathing. This object

This report has been conducted to examine the advantages and disadvantages of using an open system for experiments in the cone calorimeter with a vitiated air enclosure at low oxygen levels. Eight different experimental set-ups were conducted in which two were designed according to ISO 5660, i.e. the cone calorimeter in its standard configuration. In the other experimental set-ups, a chamber which

Det är inget ovanligt med inkomstöverföringar mellan företag i en internationell företagsgrupp, d.v.s. att medel som inte utgör en marknadsmässig ersättning för en motprestation överförs mellan företag i intressegemenskap. Motiven för detta kan vara att minska inkomstskatten i ett högskatteland genom att överföra vinster till ett mer skatteförmånligt land, eller att minska den totala skattebelastnThis thesis aims to analyze the elements of transfer pricing with emphasis on the peculiarities that the nature of intellectual property involve and the difficulties that enterprises may face when implementing transfer pricing. The concept of transfer pricing relates to the system of assessing the price for the transfer of goods, services and intangibles between member entities of a multinational

Anonymous är en modern social rörelse vars främsta engagemang är att bibehålla ett fritt informationsflöde på internet, samt hålla det fritt från censur. De uppfattar inte sig själva som en social rörelse, men i analysen redögör jag för varför de, åtminstone ur ett sociologiskt perspektiv, bör definieras som en sådan. Anonymous har gjort sig kända internationellt främst genom Distributed Denial of

This paper deals with design and implementation of a regulator to control the tint of the paper on Stora Enso Nymölla AB’s paper machines. The paper industry is a major industrial area in Sweden with continuous processes running around the clock with as short downtime as possible, which places special demands on the running and testing of controllers. The paper machine is in many cases the bottlen

I föreliggande uppsats genomförs en pentadanalys, i syftet att studera dels på vilket sätt – om alls – det manifesteras en främlingsfientlighet hos Sverigedemokraterna, dels vilka motiv och vilken världsbild partiets ordförande, Jimmie Åkesson, blottlägger. Den retoriska artefakten utgörs av det anförande Åkesson höll i Almedalen 2014. Studiens resultat visar att Åkessons terminologiska ramar fram

The quantum cascade laser (QCL) is a solid state device capable of generating the coherent mid-infrared and terahertz radiation. It is made from layers of different semiconducting materials. This layered structure gives rise to sub-bands, that are employed to achieve charge inversion necessary for lasing. However, the large number of interfaces that are not perfect strongly influences the operatio

The purpose of this study is to examine depression in regard to the shifting paradigms of psychiatry, which could possibly be tied to the shifting economic policies in western society at large. The methodological approach in doing this has been one of studying literature regarding past and present psychiatric paradigms, as well as literature on the economic paradigms of recent history, and interpr

Slam från konventionell avloppsvattenrening innehåller näringsämnen samt mullbildande ämnen vilket medför att materialet utgör en resurs som växtnäring och jordförbättringsmedel. Problematiken med att använda slam är att det även innehåller främmande ämnen som metaller och svårnedbrytbara organiska föreningar. Syvab är ett kommunalt bolag som driver Himmerfjärdsverket men ansvarar också för någrSludge is produced in conventional waste water treatment.
