In a passive house, the main source for heating is made out of human presence and its heat pro- ducing activities, which means that the need space heating is minimized. This is possible thanks to its air tight and well isolated construction, but it also demands awareness from its user to de- crease the use of energy and to gain a good indoor climate. This analysis investigates whether the passive

Reduced weight and maintenance make it advantageous to replace steel with Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composites in maritime applications, but being combustible makes fire safety a burning issue. A new methodology in regulations has opened up for innovative design solutions if they can be regarded as safe as a design complying with all prescriptive requirements. However, an uneven safety level

Today’s hospitals in Sweden are all dependent of large networks of suppliers of medical supplies. These consist of many supply chains that are regularly exposed to both external and internal risks. One hospital affected by these risks is UMAS (Malmö University Hospital).

Much of the research in social psychology has focused on conformity. Often conformity is a necessary tool which helps our society to function but when people conform to something dangerous or immoral it can be very dangerous. In this study the people who do not conform for the reason that they disagree with the morality of the group are studied. The study is phenomenological and exploratory and sh

As the novels progress they become increasingly depraved. But the causes to their wickedness are not self-evident. Howe
