Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is the study of fluid flows for the analysis of phenomena by scenarios simulated in a computer-based environment. One of the most well-known CFD simulation packages in the fire safety field is Fire Dynamic Simulator (FDS). The tasks of setting up an FDS input file can be time-consuming especially for complex building geometries. Building Information Modelling (BI

Skatteverket släppte 2017 en promemoria som föreslog en förändring av arbetsgivarbegreppet. Det har lett till en diskussion om hur beskattning av begränsat skattskyldiga bör regleras och hur nuvarande reglering påverkar den inre arbetsmarknaden i Sverige. Sverige har årligen ett stort antal arbetstagare som undgår beskattning på grund av undantagsregeln i SINK och i det nordiska skatteavtalet. DenIn 2017, the Swedish Tax Agency, Skatteverket, released a memorandum that suggested a change in the employer approach. This has led to a discussion on how taxation of limited taxpayers should be regulated and how the current tax affects the internal labor market in Sweden. Every year, Sweden has a large number of employees who avoid taxation because of the exception rule in SINK and in the Nordic

Att kontrollera tillverkningen av proteiner med hjälp av induktorn IPTG är mycket viktigt för såväl industrin som forskare. Med hjälp av automatisk provtagningsutrustning var målet med det här arbetet att kunna minimera användningen av dyra kemikalier och mycket riktigt verkar det gå att minska mängden IPTG i proteinproduktion.The induction of recombinant expression in bioprocesses is associated with high costs, but still suffers from unoptimised standard procedures with high use of IPTG. A flow-based online method for enzymatic analysis of recombinant expression in E. coli could greatly help in mapping induction behaviour, and assembly and programming of a FlowSystem for automatic sampling was done. The process was nev

Indigenous peoples and natural environment in Brazil share a history of subjection to the economic interests of those in power, a condition that tragically resulted in the killing of thousands indigenous individuals and in unprecedent destruction of the Amazon during the military dictatorial regime (1964-1985). Now, as Jair Bolsonaro, who openly praises the dictatorship, is elected as president am

En kartläggning av brister inom byggsektorn har utförts av Boverket på uppdrag av regeringen där det har framkommit att det många gånger är bristen på kompetens, resurser och motivation som leder till brister i byggnationen. Boverket menar även att det krävs en välfungerande samverkan mellan aktörer för att få ett lyckat resultat. Där kommer arbetssättet samverkan in som bygger på att den samlade A study of defects in the building sector has been done by the administrative authority Boverket on behalf of the government. In the investigation it appears that the lack of expertise, resources and motivation leads to defects in the building. Boverket argue that it takes a well-functioning collaboration between the participants to achieve successful result. A collaborative project utilizes the g

Studien undersöker vilka metoder gymnasielärare kan använda i ensemble för att inte återskapa traditionella könsmönster samt hur gymnasielärare upplever att kön kan påverka elever i ensemble.

Studien syftade till att undersöka om det gick att predicera en social maskning bland fotbollsspelare genom samvetsgrannhet, motivation, tid i laget och sportslig status. Social maskning är ett fenomen det forskats brett kring, men forskningen kring social maskning i fotbollssammanhang är begränsad. Begränsningen är särskilt stor på den nivå som undersöktes i denna studie, vilket är semi-professioThe aim of this study was to investigate to what extent it was possible to predict social loafing amongst football players through conscientiousness, motivation, time in team and sports-related status. An extensive amount of previous research has been conducted to investigate social loafing, but research regarding social loafing in the context of football is limited. The limitation is particularly

Despite being generally forbidden by the Jordanian Law of Personal Status, early marriage among Syrian refugees in the camp of Zaatari is still common, and according to some sources, its incidence has increased during the past years. This practice in Zaatari is regulated by the Syrian adat, that at the same time coexists with Jordanian law and decision norms advocated by International NGOs; giving

Till grund för denna studie ligger såväl den pågående livliga samhällsdebatten som den politiska debatt gällande hanteringen av IS-barnen med svensk anknytning . Efter kalifatets fall befinner sig barnen i flyktingläger i nordöstra Syrien. Det är oklart vem som bär ansvaret för dessa individer och regeringen har ett passivt förhållningssätt då de saknar lösning. Syftet med denna studie är att unde

Unaccompanied minors and young adults is a phenomenon that has been a part of Swedish society for a couple of years due to the refugee crisis from the year 2015. What is interesting to explore is how are they assimilating to their new surroundings, and how they are experiencing that process, what kind of impact has this unique situation had on their development. Another important aspect is explori

Det talas allt oftare om stigande världshav, tropiska stormar och klimatflyktingar. Vi vet alla att vi måste minska våra CO2-utsläpp för att överleva följderna av den globala uppvärmningen. Om det ändå fanns något sätt att samla upp all CO2 från luften så hade kanske den globala uppvärmningen varit ett minne blott…. Men hör här, denna teknik finns redan idag! Tekniken kallas CO2-absorptionsteknik A rather hot subject in today’s society is global warming. Both technical progresses and global agreements between nations are much needed to counter this ever growing world problem. In this report a novel CO2-capture system, using the sterically hindered amine 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP) and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) as an organic solvent, is investigated by process simulation in the sof

Hemoglobin (Hb) is a protein, composed of a heme prosthetic group with an iron atom in the center of the protoporphyrin ring and the iron is the main component that bind oxygen. Hb was first found in the red blood cells of vertebrates and after in prokaryotes, fungi, plants and animals. In plants, there are three main groups of Hb proteins which are symbiotic, non-symbiotic and truncated. Non-symb

En hotad fjällvärld i snabb förändring Smältande glaciärer, minskad biologisk mångfald, exploatering och en vegetation i förändring. Den svenska fjällkedjan, med områden som ibland omnämns som Europas sista vildmark, hotas när klimatet förändras. Frågan är - kan vi rädda dessa unika områden eller är det redan för sent? Dagligen sprids nyheter och nya forskningsresultat om klimatförändringarnas As temperatures on Earth are rising, the Polar regions experience most rapid climatic changes. In the Swedish Scandes, the alpine tree line is considered as one of the most sensitive indicators of climate change. Therefore, the aim of this study is to study the most important abiotic factors driving position change of the alpine tree line. Through a literature study, these mechanisms were studied
