The purpose of this document is to evaluate the safety of persons in case of fire at Grand Hotel Saltsjöbaden, south of Stockholm. The project has been carried out as a part of the education of Fire Safety Engineers at Lund Institute of Technology. The focus of the report is to evaluate the possibilities of a safe egress from the building in case of fire and to estimate the potential hazards that

This report is an evaluation of the fire safety at Väsby Centrum. The report is based on representative fire scenarios, interviews and observations. The fire scenarios have been simulated using CFAST with supporting data from Detact T2. The results from these programs and hand calculations have been compared to evacuation simulations done in Simulex. These comparisons together with the interviews

The purpose of this report is to evaluate the fire safety of Tekniska nämndhuset in Huddinge. The focus of the report is on the safety of people during evacuation in case of fire. Property and environmental damage has not been taken into consideration. Tekniska nämndhuset is an office building accommodating several administrations within Huddinge municipality, there is no co-operation regarding fi

Using panel cointegration structure for eleven European monetary union (EMU) countries we check Driscoll money demand model (where three different types of variables are used) that the variables of this model has a long run relationship or not. These variables are Real M3, Real GDP and opportunity cost. As opportunity cost we use long term interest rate, deposit interest rate and spread between lo

Lunds universitet har länge arbetat aktivt för att få en miljövänlig verksamhet. Detta arbete har inte fallit ut till belåtenhet vid flera utvärderingar, och målen som ställs upp har inte kunnat uppfyllas. I praktiken sker en stor del av miljöarbetet på institutionsnivå, där prefekterna har huvudansvaret. I denna uppsats har intervjuer med ett urval av institutionsprefekterna utförts. Dessa har le

A quantitative riskanalysis and a probabilistic uncertainty analysis of the fire protection for a military service facility. Using CFAST, heat transfer equations, various information on the geometry and contents of the facility, information about various fire detection- and suppression systems, and computer programs like @Risk® and PrecisionTree®.

The importance of fire and evacuation safety in institutional cares is the main focus of this report. It is written around seven work areas that should be considered to create a high or satisfactory safety level. The report shows that the safety of the patient is directly linked to the nursing staff, since the patient is likely to need assistance both in a situation of fire and in an evacuation si

In order to simplify the consideration of fire fighter safety for contractors, engineers and others when planning buildings, this report has generated criteria that define a reasonable safe environment to fire fighters. If these criteria are to be used on a national basis, a more equal level of safety for the fire fighters will be achieved no matter where a building is erected. In this report diff

This report is a fire safety evaluation for Söraskolan situated in Åkersberga, Sweden. The school has been evaluated regarding both egress time and time to untenable conditions. Egress safety was simulated with SIMULEX and time to untenable conditions was simulated with FDS 4. The assessment in this report is that Söraskolan has several problems and the present fire safety level is not acceptable.

The purpose of this report is to evaluate the fire safety of Dunkers kulturhus, Helsingborg. This report has been carried out as a part of the students´ education and does not concern protection of property or environment, but focuses on the safety of people during egress. Dunkers kulturhus, Helsingborg is a commercial four-storey building, which consists of a conserthall, theatre, restaurant, mus

Sustainable utilization of scarce water resources requires a conceptualization and understanding of both local and regional climate variability. This work deals with an analysis of climate variability and human impacts on the water balance of the Lake Chad drainage basin of northern Africa. Mean annual precipitation and discharge time series from 112 rain gauges and monthly mean SST anomalies were

I Regeringsformen som är Sveriges grundlag står det uttryckligen att Sverige är en suverän stat med ett demokratiskt statsskick. Men efter Sveriges inträde i Europeiska Unionen 1995 har lagstiftningen av bl.a. direkta skatter kommit att påverkas avsevärt, trots att Sverige inte har överlåtit dessa till EU-institutionerna. EU-domstolen har i brist på harmonisering på eget initiativ utformat prejudiThe Constitution Act, which is Sweden's constitution explicitly, states that Sweden is a sovereign state with a democratic form of government. But after Sweden joined the European Union in 1995, legislation of particular direct taxes come to be affected significantly, although Sweden has not transferred them to European institutions. EU court for lack of harmonization of its own initiatives de
