New construction solutions, such as low energy buildings and lightweight ship constructions in FRP composite, are designed with more insulation than regular constructions. This may affect the fire development, leading to dangerous conditions for occupants and firemen. Will increased thermal insulation of a compartment affect the fire development so that a higher heat release rate is reached; does
The energy demand in China is steadily growing and large hydropower dams become more and more common. A major dam failure could cause large environmental, economic and social effects, and work concerning safety in dams is therefore essential in order to keep the utilization of hydropower at as low risk level as possible. This master thesis analyzed Longtan Dam under static and dynamic conditions w
Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) is a technique for modifying internal gas atmosphere of the food package to slow deteriorative reactions inside the package and prolong shelf life of the product. However, due to current limitations of this passive technology, there might be some opportunities for introduction of active MAP through microorganisms. Therefore, the study is conducted on investigati
Inom forskningsfältet för internationella marknadsföringsstrategier har det sedan länge funnits två läger av teoretiker. Det finns de som talar för standardisering av marknadsföringsstrategin och de som talar för anpassning. Forskningen som söker att utreda fenomenet är omfattande men fokuserar ofta enbart på kommunikationen med kund, samt på produkter eller varumärken. Då allt fler modekedjor bli
In this thesis, a risk analysis covering response procedures regarding fire alarms from automatic fire alarm systems is presented. Risk factors regarding current procedures in Iceland are identified, analyzed and discussed with regards to acceptance. The work results in a building classification model which classifies buildings/activities with regards to the response of the public services and pri
Uppsatsen undersöker hur en förändringsprocess implementeras och genomförs med utgångspunkt i en kommunal organisation och ur ett platsutvecklingsperspektiv. Där Landskrona stad ligger till grund som fallstudie för uppsatsen. Tidigare problem som identifieras inom ämnesområdet är att de flesta organisationer som strategiskt vill implementera en förändring misslyckas. Ytterligare ett problem är att
Föreliggande studie undersöker vilken syn på kunskap och lärande vuxna andrapråksinlärare har. Studien bygger på hypotesen att kunskapssynen får konsekvenser för studieresultaten. Perspektivet är det sociokulturella med pedagogiska förtecken. 78 vuxna andraspråksinlärare från 26 olika länder i åldern 19-54 år, som studerade någon av kurserna SVA 1, SVA 2 eller SVA 3 vid komvux höstterminen 2012, s
Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka svenska revisorers syn på icke-revisionsmässiga tjänster (IRT) och vilka implikationer detta kan ha på revisorns oberoende och självreglering. Vi har som mål att bidra till debatten om revisorns oberoende, dess koppling till IRT samt även hur det nuvarande förordningsförslaget skulle påverka reglering av IRT i Sverige. Uppsatsen som genomfördes med en kva
The purpose of this study is to examine how well different financial ratios can predict bankruptcy across industries and time. The study also examine whether including industry differences in a prediction model can increase its accuracy. Bankruptcy prediction models were estimated using logistic regression for each year between 2006 and 2011, with and without interaction terms accounting for indu
Multiplatformsutveckling är inte en ny strategi. Men med tanke på hur vanligt förekommande det är för utvecklare att släppa en applikation för endast en platform så kan man konstatera att användningen av multiplatformsutveckling är förvånansvärt liten. I detta examensarbete diskuteras och analyseras aspekter som rör utveckling av en multiplatformsbaserad 3D-applikation. En jämförelse av olika motiCross-platform developing is not a new approach. However, considering it is common for developers to release an application exclusively for a single platform, the use of cross-platform developing is noticeably low. In this master’s thesis, aspects regarding the development of a cross-platform 3D application is examined and discussed. A comparision between different motion capture systems used for
The goal of this master thesis was to examine some of the available development tools for augmented reality in mobile applications. The best development tool were then used in development of an application for Android or iOS. The thesis has two main parts, the analysis of development tools and the application development. During the analysis ve dierent commercial development tools for augmented re
This is a master thesis about how to be able to clean an open device during assembly for the company of McNeil AB. McNeil AB is a company in Helsingborg, Sweden, producing the Nicorette brand, which is a nicotine based product line which helps people stop smoking. McNeil AB's problem was that they had some contamination in their mouth spray product and thus a solution for the cleaning of a via
A dynamical model for traffic networks is proposed and analyzed. In the traffic network, the transportation demands are considered as multi-commodity flows where each commodity has a unique destination. The network is modeled by a multigraph where at each node each commodity splits among the outgoing links in a way such that the drivers are more likely to avoid a road when the density on it increa
Sociala medier definieras av kommunikation mellan flera parter som också de kommunicerar sinsemellan och att användarna själva genererar innehållet. Facebook, Twitter och Youtube är några av de sociala medier som idag är populära bland användare i Sverige, i Kina är Renren, Sina Weibo och Youku sidor som fått stort genomslag.

This thesis examines the nature of the capitalist mode of production and begins with the contention that it necessarily produces unjust outcomes do to its economic mandates and corresponding organization of social relationships. More specifically, this thesis will investigate the processes through which the capitalistic mode of production reproduces itself. An understanding of these processes allo
Since national independence many NGOs active in the domain of gender have been established in Kyrgyzstan. Recently, this part of the NGO sector has seen the emergence of alternative organizations, voicing new issues and perspectives. In this thesis, I take a closer look at these new actors: how they differ from the older generation and also in relation to each other. I am especially interested in
This thesis, aiming to contribute to a better understanding of why Croats in Bosnia and Herzegovina fear a Bosniak-dominated state, is a response to development efforts of the international community to democratize Bosnian-Herzegovinian society, generate a shared sense of nationhood among all citizens and speed up its path towards Euro-Atlantic integrations. With the use of conceptual framework, t
Over the years poverty and well-being has taken several definitions. Recently, a wide literature unanimously agrees that the multidimensional aspects poverty such as economic, cultural, social and ecological has close linkages to lack of access to modern energy such as electricity or energy poverty. Thus, a focus on electricity for instance would be one possible mechanism of addressing multi-dimen
