Acceptanskriterier för samhällsrisker - En studie över tillämpningen vid fysisk planering

Since there are no laws that controls how a societal risk analysis is to be made, or what acceptance criteria that should be used, people have different opinions regarding this. This contributes to non-homogenous risk management which in turn leads to a situation where the society’s safety isn’t the same in all of the country which the law says it should be. To get in terms with this problem there

Fire development in insulated compartements - Effects from improved thermal insulation

New construction solutions, such as low energy buildings and lightweight ship constructions in FRP composite, are designed with more insulation than regular constructions. This may affect the fire development, leading to dangerous conditions for occupants and firemen. Will increased thermal insulation of a compartment affect the fire development so that a higher heat release rate is reached; does

Longtan Dam – Dam safety and production losses under dynamic load

The energy demand in China is steadily growing and large hydropower dams become more and more common. A major dam failure could cause large environmental, economic and social effects, and work concerning safety in dams is therefore essential in order to keep the utilization of hydropower at as low risk level as possible. This master thesis analyzed Longtan Dam under static and dynamic conditions w

Introduction of biological and active Modified Atmosphere Packaging through microorganisms

Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) is a technique for modifying internal gas atmosphere of the food package to slow deteriorative reactions inside the package and prolong shelf life of the product. However, due to current limitations of this passive technology, there might be some opportunities for introduction of active MAP through microorganisms. Therefore, the study is conducted on investigati

Marknadsförutsättningars inverkan på internationella marknadsföringsstrategier - En fallstudie på den svenska modemarknaden

Inom forskningsfältet för internationella marknadsföringsstrategier har det sedan länge funnits två läger av teoretiker. Det finns de som talar för standardisering av marknadsföringsstrategin och de som talar för anpassning. Forskningen som söker att utreda fenomenet är omfattande men fokuserar ofta enbart på kommunikationen med kund, samt på produkter eller varumärken. Då allt fler modekedjor bli

Automatic Fire Alarms – Response procedures

In this thesis, a risk analysis covering response procedures regarding fire alarms from automatic fire alarm systems is presented. Risk factors regarding current procedures in Iceland are identified, analyzed and discussed with regards to acceptance. The work results in a building classification model which classifies buildings/activities with regards to the response of the public services and pri

Förändringsprocessen i Landskrona stad - tillbaka till framtiden?

Uppsatsen undersöker hur en förändringsprocess implementeras och genomförs med utgångspunkt i en kommunal organisation och ur ett platsutvecklingsperspektiv. Där Landskrona stad ligger till grund som fallstudie för uppsatsen. Tidigare problem som identifieras inom ämnesområdet är att de flesta organisationer som strategiskt vill implementera en förändring misslyckas. Ytterligare ett problem är att

Vanans makt i kunskapens korridorer : attityder till kunskap och lärande hos vuxna andraspråksinlärare

Föreliggande studie undersöker vilken syn på kunskap och lärande vuxna andrapråksinlärare har. Studien bygger på hypotesen att kunskapssynen får konsekvenser för studieresultaten. Perspektivet är det sociokulturella med pedagogiska förtecken. 78 vuxna andraspråksinlärare från 26 olika länder i åldern 19-54 år, som studerade någon av kurserna SVA 1, SVA 2 eller SVA 3 vid komvux höstterminen 2012, s

Svenska revisorers syn på icke-revisionsmässiga tjänster - Ljuset det kastar på oberoede och självreglering

Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka svenska revisorers syn på icke-revisionsmässiga tjänster (IRT) och vilka implikationer detta kan ha på revisorns oberoende och självreglering. Vi har som mål att bidra till debatten om revisorns oberoende, dess koppling till IRT samt även hur det nuvarande förordningsförslaget skulle påverka reglering av IRT i Sverige. Uppsatsen som genomfördes med en kva

Bankruptcy Prediction with Financial Ratios - Examining Differences across Industries and Time

The purpose of this study is to examine how well different financial ratios can predict bankruptcy across industries and time. The study also examine whether including industry differences in a prediction model can increase its accuracy.

Developing a Workflow for Cross-platform 3D Apps using Game Engines

Multiplatformsutveckling är inte en ny strategi. Men med tanke på hur vanligt förekommande det är för utvecklare att släppa en applikation för endast en platform så kan man konstatera att användningen av multiplatformsutveckling är förvånansvärt liten. I detta examensarbete diskuteras och analyseras aspekter som rör utveckling av en multiplatformsbaserad 3D-applikation. En jämförelse av olika motiCross-platform developing is not a new approach. However, considering it is common for developers to release an application exclusively for a single platform, the use of cross-platform developing is noticeably low. In this master’s thesis, aspects regarding the development of a cross-platform 3D application is examined and discussed. A comparision between different motion capture systems used for

McNeil AB's problem was that they had some contamination in their mouth spray product and thus a solution for the cleaning of a via

A multi-commodity dynamical model for traffic networks

A dynamical model for traffic networks is proposed and analyzed. In the traffic network, the transportation demands are considered as multi-commodity flows where each commodity has a unique destination. The network is modeled by a multigraph where at each node each commodity splits among the outgoing links in a way such that the drivers are more likely to avoid a road when the density on it increa
