Vibrations originating from constructional work can affect the nearby soil and structures. Depending on the properties of the vibrations, these can result in settlements in the soil and damages to existing structures. Along with blasting, impact pile driving is one of the greatest sources of vibrations on a construction site. When installing a concrete pile with an impact hammer, a weight is drop

There are countless amount of questions about online learning today, this dissertation meant to extensively address two of them: the importance of control over learning pace and synchronous social learning – in other words – interactivity. Placing online learning in the context of the current participatory media landscape serves with understanding why people engage and participate and how these mo

Det här examensarbetet behandlar den akustiska utformningen av simhallar. Fokus ligger på de lösningar som påverkar akustiken, så som väggar, absorbenter och utformningen. Grunden till arbetet är baserat på befintlig litteratur och ny information framtaget för arbetet. Simhallar är en svår akustisk lokal där många hårda ytor och stora volymer försvårar. Detta ger en ljudmiljö med hög ljudnivå ochThe Master thesis considers acoustic design of swimming halls. Focus is put into design solutions affecting the acoustic environment such as walls, absorbents and shape. The basis is gained from literature studies and new information achieved specific for the thesis. Swimming halls are built in a certain way that makes a good acoustic environment hard to achieve. The construction consists of hard

Det finns ett behov av en helhetssyn på risksituationen i samhället för att långsiktig hållbarhet ska kunna skapas. Översiktsplanen är det första steget i den fysiska planeringen och behandlar hela kommunens geografiska område. Således är det också det första steget där riskhänsyn kan tas. Målet med detta examensarbete har därför varit att studera hur risk- och sårbarhetsfrågor beaktas i den kommuThere is a need for a more holistic perspective on societal risks in order to achieve sustainability in a long-term perspective. The municipal comprehensive plan is the first step in urban planning, and covers all of the municipal’s geographical area. Consequently, it is also the first step where a risk assessment can be conducted. The objective of this report has therefore been to study how risk

Denna studie behandlar gamification inom e-handel för att skapa kundengagemang, öka besöksfrekvens och öka lojalitet. Gamification innefattar användandet av spelmekanismer utanför en spelmiljö. E-handel är ett område som lämpar sig bra för införande av sådana system då det är en bransch med stor potential för snabb utveckling. Vi har utfört en kvalitativ intervjustudie med användare och experter m

Corporate or organizational culture is a popular topic among organizational scholars, but with the use of metaphors bridges to media and communication studies can be made. By comparing an organization with a democracy through the help of metaphors, Peter Dahlgren’s (2009) theoretical framework on civic culture can be applied and tested to explore the culture inside a private organization. In an or

Den här uppsatsen är en studie av implementeringen av Barnkonventionen i skånska kommuner, baserad på intervjuer med tjänstemän som har någon form av ansvar för barnrättsarbetet i respektive kommun samt på de offentliga dokument som berör implementeringen av barnets rättigheter i kommunerna. Som teoretiskt ramverk används Anders Sannerstedts implementeringsteori i kombination med Erik Hysing och J

Syftet med uppsatsen är att utreda medlemsstaternas handlingsutrymme att ställa sociala krav i offentlig upphandling ur ett inremarknadsperspektiv. Uppsatsen syftar särskilt till att utreda handlingsutrymmet vid utstationeringssituationer. Med sociala krav avses i uppsatsen främst sådana villkor som ska uppfyllas vid kontraktets fullgörande. Relevanta rättskällor är främst de primärrättsliga bestäThis paper aims to assess the scope of discretion of the Member States to include social considerations in EU public procurement law. Furthermore, the aim is to assess the discretion when the public contract may be carried out by posted workers. In this paper, social considerations will mainly refer to those concerning the performance stage, where contractors may be obliged to follow certain socia

The purpose of this study is to examine why individuals choose the clothes they do and what influence the social group and other social aspects have on this choice. More specifically, the objects of this study are the sororities Malmö Nation, Sydskånska Nation and Smålands Nation at Lund University. The paper is an ethnographic study where six individuals, active at one of these three sororities,

As data becomes more accessible and an increasing number of organizations seek to monitor their business activities, the need for reliable Business Intelligence (BI) solutions arises. This thesis is centered around a small/ medium-sized company that provides e-learning solutions. A new BI system is requested with the main purpose of providing an overview of data used for licensing. In addition, th

This thesis investigates the Swedish media’s reporting on the VW emission scandal that took place in the fall of 2015. By using a qualitative approach data was collected from three of Sweden’s largest newspapers; Aftonbladet, Expressen and Dagens Nyheter and processed with analytic tools and content analysis inspired by CDA. The aim of this study is to gain a fundamental understanding of the dynam

During, for example, search-and-rescue operations at sea, technical equipment like spotlights and thermal cameras are important aids. However, heave and sway affect the ship and make it harder for finding a person in distress. This thesis presents a way of stabilizing a thermal camera by controlling a stepper motor connected to it. Moreover, the thermal camera can only be turned upwards and downwa

Methodology: The thesis is an explorative qualitative study espousing an interpretivist view of the social wo

The use of dynamic modelling and simulation of thermal power systems has grown recent years and as the performance of computers have increased optimisation of such systems has become possible. When performing such optimisations, there are high numerical requirements on the model used in the system. Due to the nonlinear nature of thermodynamic properties of working fluids, extra consideration has t

Abstract Child labor is a widespread and growing phenomenon in today’s world. Though child labor exists in all parts of the world, the extent of the problem is very high in developing countries. Ethiopia is one of the countries where child labor exists in an extensive scale.

In today’s operating systems, drivers are linked with the kernel where handling pointers and performing memory accesses must be considered with much more care than in application user space. This thesis focuses on two issues. First, memory access to user space must never be done directly, because the access may fault due to insufficient access permissions or unmapped pages. Second, pointers enter
