Detta arbete handlar om att utveckla och förbättra en försöksuppställning som kan mäta laserinducerad fosforescens både spektralt och tidsupplöst. Ämnet som emitterar fosforescensen befinner sig i en kalibreringsugn som kan värmas till olika temperaturer vilket möjliggör studier av irreversibla åldringsprocesser i ämnet som funktion av temperatur och tid. Fosforescens är den långa efterglöd som fo

Detta arbete har syftat till att göra en situationsstudie av dissipation beräknad i HIRLAM, en numerisk prognosmodell, över Danmark och att ge författarna kunskap om fenomenet turbulens. Studien gjordes genom att bearbeta data erhållen från HIRLAM i MATLAB. Den nedersta delen av troposfären där jordytan har en påverkan på atmosfären kallas för gränsskiktet. När vinden blåser i gränsskiktet kommer This case study aimed at analyzing dissipation calculated in HIRLAM, a numerical forecast model, over Denmark and to give the authors more knowledge about the phenomenon of turbulence. The study was done by processing data obtained from HIRLAM in MATLAB. The lowest part of the troposphere where the surface of the earth has an impact on the air is called the planetary boundary layer. When the wind

Åska hör till ett av de farligaste fenomenen som finns i vår atmosfär. Intresset av att observera åska har alltid funnits hos människan. Först på senare tid har man börjat förstå fysiken bakom fenomenet, även om det fortfarande finns många luckor i kunskapen. Sedan 2000 använder Danmarks Meteorologiska Institut blixtlokaliseringssystemet IMAPCT, som bland annat registrerar nedslagspunkt, strömstyrThunderstorms are one of the most dangerous phenomena in our atmosphere. Mankind has always been interested in observing thunderstorms. It is only recently that we have begun to understand the physics behind this phenomenon. However, there are still many gaps in the knowledge. Since 2000, Denmark has been using the lightning locating system IMPACT which registers strike point, average amperage and

This report constitutes that there are factors that may affect capacity assessment within municipal risk- and vulnerability analysis. The scope is an interview survey investigating the attitudes of operators within the municipal emergency preparedness towards factors that could potentially affect the outcome of capacity assessment. Six Influencing factors are identified comprising; 1 Selection re

This master thesis investigates how municipalities can use action program for its safety work and how the municipality of Umeå can improve its work with such a program. Information has been gathered through literature studies and case studies involving the municipality of Umeå, four other municipalities and some of the responsible authorities for the area. Conclusions reached out is that an action

This study looks at nationalism in China since the 1980s. It attempts to examine whether nationalism is increasing by investigating whether an increase is reflected in the arts, in particular Chinese cinema. The logic behind this is that if nationalism is a politicisation of arts, tradition and culture then an increase in nationalism should be reflected in arts, tradition and culture. The topic of

This report evaluates an existing method for testing water mist systems - CEN/TS 14972:2008. Annex A.3. The evaluation is to be seen as an analysis of the uncertainties with respect to repeatability and reproducibility of the test. It is concluded that the test method does not meet the standards required to become an EN-standard in its present form. A new concept is presented and verified, bot the

The capacity of an emergency response system is a deciding factor in its design and development, as well as its consequent success. Given this perspective, it is obvious that it is meaningless to do a risk analysis of a system without examining or knowing its capacity first. But how is capacity evaluated? A literature study was done to find existing methods and it revealed that capacity is a conce

This bachelor’s thesis is an anthropological analysis of the ghetto debate in Denmark taking place from October 2010 to April 2011. Considering the different actors in the debate; the politicians, the ethnic minorities as well as the ethnic Danish residents of the ghetto, and the Danish population in general it will become clear that the debate about ghettos is very different between those trying

In online auctions bidding frequency tends to increase towards the last minutes of the auction. This thesis investigates why bidders might choose to engage in last minute bidding, sniping, in Tradera auctions (Tradera is a Swedish subsidiary of eBay). Tradera uses a hard-close rule and a second-price rule. In hard-close auctions the dead-line occurs at a specific time, after which new bids are not

The purpose of this thesis was to study about the implication of Mandarin language in creating unity among ethnic Chinese in Malaysia. The research was carried out by exploring the role of Chinese school in order to produce an analytical overview of language and unity in Malaysian Chinese context. The identity issue was also being analyzed to find out how Mandarin language helps to create Chinese

Using a master’s-level human rights program funded by Sweden at Peking University, this case study sought to explore the connection between legal education and social change as influentially advanced by the Law and Development Movement (LDM) and now reflected in various donor-funded law and governance projects in China. To evaluate the program’s underlying assumptions of change, the study examined

Syftet med studien var att beskriva hur de aktiviteter som personal på Röda Korsets behandlingscentrum för krigsskadade och torterade i Malmö använder för att hjälpa barnen som befann sig i riskzonen för att utveckla posttraumatiskt syndrom. Undersökningsgruppen bestod av sociolog, socionom, bildterapeut och volontärer i teamet. Halvstrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes. Deltagare berättade om akti

The European Union (EU) and the Africa, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) countries have been negotiating Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs) since 2002. The EPAs are intend to replace present agreements which due to its discriminatory element against other developing countries, not are compatible with the WTO regulations. The liberalisation of the EPAs has triggered some concerns regarding the risk

In this paper we examine the volatility dynamics of cross-listed stocks. Specifically, we study deviations in volatility between a sample of Swedish stocks listed on the OMX Stockholm 30 Index (OMXS30) with Stockholmsbörsen (SSB, the Stockholm stock exchange) as their home market, and their corresponding DRs listed on Frankfurter Wertpapierbörse (FWB, the Frankfurt Stock Exchange). The main questi

Syftet med denna uppsats är att granska relevanta teorier kring marknadsföring och forskning kopplat till sociala medier. Med hjälp av teoretisk granskning och empiriska undersökningar analyseras de faktorer som företag och organisationer bör ta hänsyn till avseende användandet av sociala medier. Avslutningsvis presenteras en modell som beskriver ett strategiskt tillvägagångssött för hur företag b
