The European Spallation Source ERIC is a new neutron spallation source being built in Lund, Sweden, with NMX as one of the pioneer instruments. NMX is a Quasi-Laue single crystal neutron diffractometer for the investigation of large biological molecules. Wavelength, size and divergence of the neutron beam reaching the sample have to be controlled to properly match the different experimental needs.
This thesis examines Ismaʿili individuals’ “lived religion” through personal views on religious values combined with daily practices in German society. Since a Eurocentric view on Islam often fails to recognize the complexities of Muslim communities while emphasizing the Muslim faith as incompatible with “modernity”, the current study of the Ismaʿili branch serves as an example of Muslim practices

Lord of the Flies (1954) by William Golding is seen by many as a portrait of the violent darkness of human nature, and how all of humanity will revert to a savage state in the absence of civilisation. This essay argues that this is not accurate, since the book only presents the actions of a group of British boys, among which the majority of the violent acts are performed by boys who are most likel
Designing an energy-efficient building with the use of passive design measures is not always possible due to the location, surrounding buildings or site layout. This can result in larger façade areas facing East or West and causes issues with the low sun altitude. The sun can thereby not be blocked constantly, since daylight is needed for the well-being of students and improves their study perform
This paper investigates and quantifies shareholder wealth effects arising through spin-off announcements in Western Europe. Building on existing research the study seeks to add recent results and to further investigate whether the effect of spin-off announcements on shareholder value has altered in current times. In order to find out to what extent abnormal returns around the announcement date for
Thermal comfort is a topic that for the last century has interested designers and researchers. European and International standards have given guidelines for assessment of thermal comfort in typical indoor environments for long occupancy, however the transitory spaces and semi-external spaces have not been addressed. Available literature was reviewed and summarize to find appropriate methods for a

Syftet med uppsatsen är att öka förståelsen av hur mellanchefer kan påverka internal branding samt klargöra vilka beståndsdelar av internal branding som gör mellanchefer till ett strategiskt verktyg i servicebranschen. Fallstudien har genomförts med en kvalitativ utgångspunkt med en deduktiv ansats som har inslag av induktion. Studiens analys, diskussion, modell och slutsats grundas i vetenskaplig
Anläggningsbranschen anses ofta ha en svag produktivitetsutveckling och en låg innovationsgrad jämfört med andra branscher. En nyhet som kommit de senaste åren är att börja använda långgrävare vid VA-arbeten. Traditionellt används ett par vanliga bandgrävmaskiner, men en långgrävare kan ersätta båda dessa maskiner. Syftet med detta arbete är att undersöka vilken produktionsmetod som ger högs
Klimatförändringarna med stigande havsnivåer gör att förutsättningarna för vårt byggande måste förändras i kustnära områden. Länsstyrelsen i Skåne har fattat ett beslut om att mark under +3 meter över havet döms ut för bebyggelse. Kommunerna vid kusten får då mycket svårt att expandera, och vill därför kunna hitta eventuella lösningar för att kunna bygga i utsatta lägen. En möjlig lösning är att aWith the climate change sea levels are rising which changes the boundary conditions for sites along the coast. The County Administrative Board of Skåne has decided that new buildings should be built at least 3 meters above sea level. Because of this decision the coastal municipalities have problems with expanding further, and are really keen on finding alternative solutions in order to allow build
In recent years the rate of fraudulent crime has increased in Sweden. Swedish media has flagged up this development in part by publishing articles focusing on such crimes particularly against the elderly. Elderly victims of fraud are often described as especially vulnerable, not only because of their physical weakness but also because of their gullibility. This description of elderly victims of fr
In the existing securities market structure, a securities trade between two parties requires the involvement of several financial intermediaries ensuring the safety of the transaction. However, the complexity of today’s market structure in conjunction with the lack of interoperability between financial data infrastructures and the disalignment of business practices, are causing costs, risks and fr

This thesis investigates the optimization of fenestration design for multi-family apartments, considering the heating demand, daylight autonomy as well as overheating. A literature review was conducted to situate the thesis focus within the broader academic field of façade optimization, and a specific apartment located in the city of Malmö was chosen as the study object. The results presented are
By using a decomposition method of LMDI, this paper identifies the drivers behind the changes of the CO2 emissions level in Denmark between 1980 and 2012. By looking at four driving factors such as activity effect, structural change, technological change and CO2 emissions intensity, enables the study to find what drives and impact the changes in CO2 emissions in each sector and thereby also in the
