The aim of this report is to evaluate the safety impact on the public from the construction of a neutron spallation source (ESS) in Lund, Sweden. ESS is to use the highly flammable hydrogen gas for ion source and cooling agent and mercury for neutron production. The report accounts for the major risks the facility will cause and discusses what actions can be taken to reduce the impact these phenom

In this report statistics concerning the reliability of sprinkler systems from seven countries has been analysed. The objective of this report has been to determine the reliability of sprinkler systems in Sweden and to present suggestions on measures to increase the reliability. The main conclusion that has been drawn is that the reliability of sprinkler systems in Sweden is 92 percent according t

Uppsatsen genomför en empirisk studie av komplexitetsledarskapsteorin med fokus på att identifiera administrativt ledarskap samt möjliggörande ledarskap för att på detta sätt pröva ovan komplexitetsledarskapsteorin. Detta görs genom en fallstudie på Doro AB. Uppsatsen kan bekräfta komplexitetsteorins syn på att ett administrativt ledarskap tenderar att göra en organisation stel utifrån ett innovat

This report, written as an educational feature in a mandatory course at the Fire engineering program, Lund University, is a fire safety evaluation of “AF-borgen” in Lund, Sweden. The report focuses on human safety regarding evacuation and analysis of possible fire hazards with the designed fire. Studies have also been made, where different parameters has been changed such as faster growth rate and

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

Handledare Marja Åkerström Examinator Helena Sandberg Syfte Syftet med uppsatsen är att med utgångspunk i Kims teori om kulturell anpassningsprocess,

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.
