Vill vi låsa in vår cykel? Erfarenheter av låst cykelparkering i Lund och Malmö

Syftet med denna studie är att redogöra för och förklara vad städer bör tänka på vid utformning av en låst cykelparkering. Vidare kommer studien att klargöra och ifrågasätta konceptet med att kommuner tillhandahåller låsta cykelparkeringar, utifrån om de efterfrågas, uppskattas och om de faktiskt bidrar till att stimulera cykling. Tanken är också med den här studien att undersöka hur väl den övergThe aim of this study is to describe and explain what cities should consider when designing a locked bicycle parking.

Ett rättssäkert tvångsomhändertagande - En rättsvetenskaplig uppstats om begreppet "annat socialt nedbrytande beteende" i 3§ 1st LVU

Tvångsvård av barn och unga är, och har länge varit, kontroversiellt. Min uppsats behandlar, ur ett rättsutvecklings- och rättssäkerhetsperspektiv, ett rekvisit i 3§ 1st lagen med särskilda bestämmelser om vård av unga (LVU). Syftet är att råda klarhet i vilka beteenden som faller under detta rekvisit. 3§ 1st LVU stadgar grunderna för tvångsomhändertagande på grund av barn och ungas eget beteende.Compulsory treatment of children and young people is a controversial and debated subject. My paper concerns the legal certainty of a necessary prerequisite in §3 section 1 in the Care of young persons act, hereafter referred to as (CYPA). The purpose of this paper is to clarify which behaviors this necessary prerequisite applies to. The rule statutes the foundation of compulsory care, in relation

Dysfagipatienters uppfattning om och compliance till sväljråd givna av logoped

Den vanligaste åtgärden efter konstaterad dysfagi är att logopeden ger patienten råd för att underlätta sväljningen och minimera risken för komplikationer. Dysfagipatienter som inte följer sväljråd de fått löper större risk att drabbas av komplikationer och har en högre mortalitet. En grundläggande förutsättning för compliance är att patienterna förstår sväljråden. Internationell forskning om dysf

Radar Based Estimation of Ditches in the Vicinity of the Road

Radars used for detecting objects with a positive elevation, such as other vehicles, are common in autonomous parking and braking systems in modern vehicles. Detecting objects with a negative elevation, such as ditches and holes, is however more troublesome. A common approach is to use a lidar, but a lidar is very costly and fragile compared to a radar. In this thesis, two two-dimensional radars a

Including biodiversity aspects in life cycle assessments - A case study of forest-based biofuel

Inkludera biodiversitet i livscykelanalyser - Hur fungerar det? Biodiversitet är ett begrepp som innefattar mångfalden av arter, ekosystem och gener. Ju större mångfald desto bättre. Hur kan man koppla mångfald i naturen till produktion av olika biodrivmedel och varför är detta viktigt? Att världens befolkning står för en stor utmaning att minska utsläppen av växthusgaser för att dämpa den globaAnalysing the environmental impact connected to biofuels has lately become more important due to the European Commission’s energy and climate target for 2020. These targets includes among others, 20 % reduction of greenhouse emissions and 20 % energy efficiency. One important solution for achieving this climate target is to increase the renewable fuel sector. In order to decide which biofuels that

A Comparative Risk Analysis of Bangladesh in the SAARC Region: A Study of Value at Risk

Formation of super-Earths via pebble accretion onto planetesimals

Sedan urminnes tider har man vetat om att det finns ljusa kroppar på himlen som rör sig ovanligt fort. Grekerna döpte dessa till vandrare, ett ord som på grekiska uttalas väldigt likt planet. Planeterna har studerats i århundraden och bara de senaste två decennierna har vi ökat från våra egna åtta planeter till flera tusen nya planeter kallade exoplaneter, planeter runt andra stjärnor än våran egeData from NASA's Kepler space telescope, which searches for exoplanets via the transit method, produced 1108 new planetary candidates in 2013 with a total of 91% being smaller than Neptune in size. These were mostly super-Earths, terrestial planets between Earth and Neptune in size, with orbits around 10 days. In order for any theory of planet formation to be valid it must be able to account

Magnetization dynamics in nanorings

This thesis investigates numerically the out of equilibrium properties of quantum rings with magnetic impurities, using the periodic Anderson model (PAM). The model is a simple template for the discussion of the physics of regular arrays of rare-earth impurities in metallic hosts. The system considered is a quantum ring consisting of up to six sites, each of whom are connected to an Anderson impur

Religion and Mortality in sub-Saharan Africa

The impact of socioeconomic factors on adult and under-five mortality is a subject which has been widely discussed. However, one cannot say the same when it comes to the impact of religion on mortality, and in fact, most of the existing literature has focused on the impact of religious participation on disease-specific mortality among adults. The purpose of this paper was to examine the impact of

Moistureproof energy efficiency of culture historic building - A case study of the E-building at LTH School of engineering

Buildings has both a cultural-historical and technical value. Buildings that were built in the 60's and 70's had relatively simple energy requirements compared to today. A large part of these buildings need to be renovated. Culture-marked buildings makes the process more difficult due to the cultural- historical value. This means no exterior work can be done, the retrofitting energy effici

Samverkansbjälklag av trä och betong - Infästning mellan två bjälklagselement

Timber-concrete composite floors have been used for many years outside Sweden, although this kind of floor has not reached its full potential in Sweden. An advantage of using a timber-concrete composite floor is that the concrete is primarily subjected to compressive stress while the wood is primarily subjected to tensile stress, for the case of vertical load. The purpose of this work is to examin
