Syftet med denna undersökning var att se om det blev en tidsskillnad när man byggde LEGO efter tvådimensionella (2D) eller tredimensionella (3D) instruktioner samt ifall 3D instruktioner kan förbättra tiden för människor med lägre spatial förmåga jämfört med 2D instruktioner. Forskningsdesignen var inomindividsdesign och urvalet bestod av 33 deltagare i åldrarna 20-33 år, 11 var kvinnor och 22 var

Syfte: Studiens syfte är att bidra med ökad förståelse för i vilken utsträckning svenska revisorer upplever en prispress och hur deras yrkesverksamhet påverkas av en eventuell prispress. Metod: Studien har genomförts med en kombination av kvalitativ och kvantitativ metod med en abduktiv ansats. Teoretiskt perspektiv: Den teoretiska referensramen har skapats med utgångspunkt i agentteorin. Vidare
Nya standarder kräver att ett klämskydd ska installeras på alla dörrar där det förekommer en automatisk dörröppnare. Detta säkerställer att ett finger inte oavsiktligt placeras i dörrens bakkant och därmed riskeras att skadas allvarligt. Försäljningen av denna typ av produkt har varit trög, men en ny produkt med ett kraftigt reducerat pris kommer förhoppningsvis bidra till ett lyft i försäljningen
The development of the renewable energy sources and the amount installations in Sweden and also in other countries have increased a lot the last years, this is especially true for solar- and wind power. Main reason for the increase of the renewable energy sources is to decrease the usage of fossil fuels and thus to decrease the impact on the climate. The integration of the renewable energy sources

Syftet med studien har varit att utveckla en metod för flygfotografering som är lätt att använda, relativt billig och ger tillräckligt högupplösta bilder för att urskilja individuella trädkronor. Flygbilder har blivit ett värdefullt verktyg för skogsförvaltning genom tiderna på grund av den fördelaktiga vyn och möjligheterna att erhålla uppdaterad information. I studien flygs en heliumballong över
Climate change and increasing urbanization gives societies great challenges in managing urban planning for a sustainable future. Urbanization aggravates floods by increasing the amount of impermeable surfaces and by modifying flow routes. Resilience is the capability to recover from a stress and high resilience is seen as the goal of a healthy development. By including the concept of resilience in
Problem/ Bakgrund: Genom historien har synen på brott och straff förändrats. Hur ser relationen mellan brott och straff ut?, hur påverkar dem varandra och hur ser före detta kriminella på relationen mellan brott och straff i jämförelse med teorier om den relationen? Syfte: Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka kriminella personers uppfattningar om hur straffskalan påverkar brottsfrekvensen, samt
In this master´s dissertation I investigated if it is possible to increase the total stability for excavations in clay, if suction is taken into account during the calculations. The work has been performed at, and in cooperation with, Sweco Civil AB as well as the Dept. of Construction Sciences at Faculty of Engineering LTH, Lund University. The objective of this master´s dissertation is to asse
Crowdfunding is a financing method based on raising smaller funds from a large audience over the internet. The data used in this quantitative study includes all 1080 reward and equity campaigns uploaded on the Swedish crowdfunding platform FundedByMe from 2011 to 2015. I aim at providing evidence of what factors that influence the success rate of crowd- funding campaigns. To answer this, I have ru
After the outbreak of the financial crisis in Europe in 2008, the strategies to antagonize its con-sequences, involved the implementation of internal devaluation policies such as nominal wage suppressions. The effectiveness of these policies has undergone various studies with rather negative criticism and evaluation. To produce further research and perform an empirical analy-sis in this field, thi
The movement of carbon on Earth is based on exchange between pools that represent carbon in different physical forms, differing in chemical composition, structure and function. Dissolved organic carbon plays an important role in ecosystems because of its mobility, which can be relatively high in saturated soils, and because it is the most available fraction of organic matter for microorganisms in
Can differences in institutional quality explain current account imbalances in the Euro area? This paper emphasizes a link between current accounts and institutional quality based on a country study for Greece. Subsequently it tests the relationship for a homogeneous sample of 24 European countries over the period 1990 through 2013. Regression analysis indicates that institutional quality is cruci
This project was initiated by the food technology department of Lund University for a design study of a new developed technology to dry mashed fruits. A fabric with special parameters allows to preserve fruits, without using electricity, in a short period of time. The given task consists of designing a “bag” to dry mashed and liquid fruit purée. The bag should be easy to fill, empty, clean and re-
Mitigation of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is essential for us humans to curb climate change. Around a fifth of the anthropogenic GHG emissions stem from the construction sector. Much come from energy used for space and water heating within buildings, but an increasing proportion comes from the manufacturing of the building materials and is virtually embodied within buildings. This is called Emb
Clarias gariepinus has huge economic and nutritive value in Cameroon but yet it is not widely cultivated. The purpose of this study was to test the effect of water quality and water exchange (which are some factors that affect fish growth) on the growth and survival of this species along the Mt Cameroon region. An experimental setup was used in the lab of the University of Buea campus to emulate
Background: An increasing number of older persons are living in their own homes with complex illnesses. Therefore the demand for more and advanced nursing at home is increasing. District nurses (DN) in home nursing care delegate a number of tasks to unlicensed personnel (UP), such as wound care. Aim: The aim of this study was to explore unlicensed personnel’s experiences of receiving and having a
I den här uppsatsen diskuteras avtalsrätten och hur den påverkas av offentligrättsliga principer när offentliga aktörer samarbetar med enskilda genom offentlig-privat-samverkan. I fokus ställs det allmännas möjlighet att frånkomma ett avtal där syftet med avtalet inte nås. I uppsatsen görs en sammanfattande genomgång av avtalsrättens fundamenta samt en lite mer utförlig analys av förutsättningslär
In a progressively globalized world the catapults of economic globalization, is in large, due to increased flows of foreign direct investments (FDI) across the world. FDI flows are considered essential vehicles for economic growth and development. The complex entities that embody a multinational company (MNC ) are often simplified to encompass either an exploitation approach of LDCs by MNCs or the
