Vid dimensionering av brandskyddet för en byggnad är utrymning en viktig aspekt. För att få en bild av hur utrymning sker i byggnader finns det en del simuleringsprogram till förfogande. Simuleringarna bygger på indata som användaren stoppar in i programmet och beroende på vilka värden som används kan resultatet variera. Thompson et al. (2015) förklarar att de värden på flöden som används idag saThe aim of this thesis is to investigate person density in relation to flow and speed in stairs and also how the different configurations affect the inter-person distance.

Det interna planerade mötet är en aktivitet av relevans inom organisationer i det avseende att det är ett medel för intern kommunikation och koordinering. Tiden organisationer spenderar på möten tycks även öka. Dock är forskningen om interna möten begränsad och den tidigare forskning som finns är i stor omfattning normativ och undersöker inte hur organisationer faktiskt ser på och arbetar med inte

Med ett ökat överskott av 3-bars ånga, som i dagsläget släpps ut i luften, har detta examensarbetet syftat till att undersöka möjligheterna, konsekvenserna och synergierna som uppstår ifall pappersbruket Södra Cell i Mörrum, SCM, investerar i en kondensturbin. Hösten 2017 investerade SCM i en ny indunstning vilket resulterade i ett ökat överskott av 3-bars ånga. Överskottet motiverade detta arbetThe purpose of this study was to investigate whether Södra Cell Mörrum, SCM, could invest in a steam turbine to produce profitable electricity from excess steam, which is currently being released into the atmosphere. Furthermore, this study investigated the potential side effects from this installation and suggests solutions. This study was conducted in two phases: collecting data which was then s

The anticolonial uprising in 1920 against the British occupation of the provinces of Mosul, Baghdad, and Basra marked an unprecedented escalation in resistance and opposition to the colonial forces.

I den här studien undersökte vi om det fanns en skillnad i upplevd organisationstillhörighet beroende på vilken anställningsform den anställde hade på ett konsultföretag. Den första hypotesen syftade till att undersöka om det fanns en skillnad bland konsulterna i upplevd organisationstillhörighet utifrån typ av anställningsform (tillsvidareanställning och tidsbegränsad anställning). Den andra hypoWe investigated if organizational commitment at one consultancy firm differed depending on type of employment. The first hypothesis analyzed if organizational commitment differed among consultants due to type of employment (permanent and temporary employment). The second hypothesis explored if there was a difference in organizational commitment towards the consultancy firm among in-house employees

Think tanks are a growing phenomenon in Western Europe. The majority of them possess a clear political agenda and their main goal is to spread their ideas and influence the public discourse as well as decision makers to subscribe to their ideology.

På 1970-talet stämde en grupp samer den svenska staten då de ansåg sig ha bättre rätt till ett geografiskt område kallat Skattefjällen. Samer är av svenska staten erkända som ett ursprungsfolk, och som en minoritetsgrupp. Skattefjällsmålet togs upp av Högsta domstolen 1981 och resulterade i ett prejudikat som sedan dess haft stort inflytande på de flesta mål som berört samers rättigheter. Syftet In the 1970s a group of Sami people sued the Swedish State claiming a better right to a geographic area referred to as the Taxed Mountain (Skattefjällen). The Sami people are recognised as an indigenous people, and a minority group, by the Swedish State. The Taxed Mountain Case (Skattefjällsmålet), that reached the Supreme Court (Högsta domstolen) in the year of 1981, resulted in a precedent that

My aim is to analyse how the film portrays the different actors in the conflict, how the events that transpired are described and which strategies for legitimization are used. My main goal is to examine the way in which the movie portrays the events that

Domstolarnas avgörande bedömning vid sexualbrott mot barn är inte sällan att värdera barnets utsaga. Människans åldersrelaterade kognitiva utveckling, barns ofullständiga förmåga att uttrycka sig och svårigheter att förstå erfarenheter genom att sätta dem i relation till tidigare erfarenheter försvårar bedömningen av barns utsagor. Sexualbrott mot barn tillhör därav de mål som är svårast för domstThe decisive assessment of the courts in cases involving child sexual abuse is often to evaluate the testimony of the child. The humans' age-related cognitive development, children’s incomplete ability to express themselves and children's difficulties in understanding experiences by putting them in relation to past experiences complicates the evaluation of children's testimonies. Child

Denna uppsats baseras på min översättning av ett utdrag från den brittiska populärvetenskapliga boken The Particle Zoo – The Search for the Fundamental Nature of Reality av Gavin Hesketh (2016).
