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

Expansion och integration av vindkraft i distributionsnäten medför ökad risk för överbelastning av ledningar och nätförluster. För att möjliggöra hög andel vindkraft installerat i distributionsnätet så har E.ON installerat ett Dynamic Line Rating- system på Öland för att övervaka ledningarna och ett styrsystem som kan styra ner elproduktionen från vindkraft då risk för överbelastning förekommer. AThe 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 överThe aim of this study has been to develop a small format aerial photography, SFAP, acquisition method that is easy to use, inexpensive, and delivers high enough resolution to detect individual trees. Aerial photography has become a valued tool for forest management through time, because of the vantage point and up-to-date information it can provide. In this study, a helium balloon is flown over an

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 inEvery year billions of people get affected by floods and the economic losses are among the highest when it comes to natural disasters. Depending on your social class the consequences of a flood can vary greatly. An urban flood resilience index, S-FRESI, can be used to identify extra sensitive areas and strengthen these neighborhoods to create a more resilient society.

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

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning av examensarbete utfört vid institutionen för byggvetenskaper vid LTH i samarbete med Sweco Civil AB. Under vissa förhållanden kan sugkrafter uppstå i jord. Fenomenet är sammankopplat med hur mycket vatten det finns i marken, desto mindre vatten desto högre sugkraft och därmed mindre risk för att t.ex. jordslänter rasar. För att undersöka detta fenomen har finiIn 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 förutsättningslärIn this essay it is examined how the interaction between the regulations regarding public procurement and commercial contract law is causing problems for the public to uphold principles of the welfare state through the regular proceedings of contract law. Focus is set on the possibility that public welfare objectives might not be met by the delivery of health services through private contractors.

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

I denna uppsats undersöker jag huruvida BRIC-marknader bör inkluderas i en aktieportfölj som ursprungligen består av OMXS30 indexet. Vi utgår ifrån perspektivet av en Sverige-baserad investerare som vill hitta diversifieringsalternativ till sin svenska aktieportfölj. Vi använder en metod där korrelationer och standardavvikelser för BRIC-ländernas avkastningar undersöks. Sedan skapas sex portföljer
