The aim of this bachelor thesis is to evaluate two risk classification methods for contaminated areas, the MIFO-method and the LeGrand-method. The MIFO-method was developed by Swedish authorities and is used primarily to prioritize which potentially contaminated areas to proceed with for further investigation and possible remediation. The method can be used for most types of contaminated areas exc

Author: Erika Wilhelmsson Title: The (un)changed views on youth unemployment- a critical discourse analysis of the job guarantee for young people [translated title] Supervisor: Frans Oddner Assessor: Anett Schenk There is currently disagreement about whether youth unemployment should be seen as a societal-, or individual problem, and from there also how youth unemployment should be solved. A job

Hur människor går är väldigt individuellt och ens personliga gångstil ändras genom hela livet. Men det skulle kunna vara så att personer av samma kön med samma längd, vikt och ålder skulle ha ett gångmönster med stora likheter vad gäller fötternas vinkel och stegens längd. I detta projekt undersöktes det geometriska gångmönstret experimentellt på 150 män mellan 170 och 190 cm. Var och en av försökHow people walk is very individual and even their personal style of walking may change throughout their lives. But it could be that the people of the same sex with the same height, weight and age would have a way of walking with great similarities in terms of feet angle and length of the stride. This project examined the geometric walking pattern experimentally of 150 men between 170 and 190 cm. E

Aeroacoustics is the field that studies flow induced sound. The source of sound can for example be fans, duct flows, aircraft propellers and objects mounted on the outside of a vehicle. The most often used computational methods for aeroacoustics are based on acoustical analogies. The software package CALFEM is a finite element toolbox developed for teaching at Lund University. It contains routines to

INTRODUCTION In the last years a lot of researches about source separation have been realized, like extraction of a signal of interest (vocal recognition application), identification of which source gives which sound (motor engine applications) or noise source characterization (environmental application). Most of these techniques for sound source estimation use the signal-subspace approach, where

There is a big discussion regarding the productivity in the construction industry. Many suggestions on how to mend this exist and one example is Virtual Design and Construction – VDC. The three main parts of VDC is the Product, often displayed as a BIM-model, the Organization with the intention to put the right team to every task, the Process which searches for more effective ways to work. With th

In carrying out foreign policy in the 21st century, it is indispensable for a global force such as the United States to focus on decisions made by the civil society. Particularly, by implementing foreign policy that balances between hard power and soft power diplomacy, the practices of the new public diplomacy enable nation-states to interact with the public culturally and personally by encouragin

Migration and urbanisation have a great impact on many Less Developed Countries. However, limited research has been focusing on the relationship between urbanisation and rapidly growing slum populations. This thesis provides a better understanding of how rural migrants in Kenya are affected by their movements to one of the world’s largest slums, Kibera. This study uses qualitative data collected f

The subject of our master’s thesis is museum exhibitions for children. The thesis is based on three research questions: “What purposes do institutions have when they decide to produce museum exhibitions specifically for children?”, “What are the similarities and differences concerning the intermediation techniques, voice and intent in this type of exhibitions?” and “How does the underlying intenti

BAKGRUND: Effektiv kommunikation och samarbete är en förutsättning för att kunna leverera en vård som är säker för patienten och misstag i kommunikationen mellan personer i vårdkedjan är en vanlig orsak till skador. Ett dilemma i dagens vård är operationsteam med olika yrkesgrupper med ibland otydliga arbetsuppgifter och ansvarsområden, som utgör en stor utmaning för kommunikationen. SYFTE: Att un

In the study, three unannounced evacuation experiments have been carried out in a cinema theatre. The evacuation experiments have been used to create a specific scenario and nine Swedish fire safety consultants have then been given an assignment to accomplish an evacuation simulation of the specific scenario. The study has shown that there are variations in the choice of input data for the evacuat

Denna kandidatuppsats syftar till att undersöka hur arbetarklassen gestaltas i Susanna Alakoskis självbiografiskt färgade roman Svinalängorna (2006). Uppsatsen syftar också till att undersöka vad som spelar in i klassificeringen av familjen som arbetarklass genom att jämföra romanens gestaltning av arbetarklassen med den som framträder i historieskrivningen. För att besvara mina frågeställningar

Flera studier belyser vilka faktorer som påverkar både möjligheten och viljan att dela information mellan organisationer men få studier gör skillnad på i vilken kontext den interorganisatoriska relationen verkar. Att arbeta med fel faktorer för informationsdelning kan leda till ökade kostnader och slöseri på resurser som istället hade kunnat användas till mer värdeskapande aktiviteter. Därför bör

Sammanfattning: Torvhorisonter med stora mängder subfossila stubbar och rötter av tall (Pinus sylvestris) förekommer ofta i nordeuropeiska torvmossar. De visar att mossarna varit tallbevuxna under delar av Holocen. Det antas att perioder med relativt låg mossefuktighet har förstärkt etableringen av dessa mossetallar och att hydrologiska förändringar har påverkat tillväxt och degeneration hos tallaAbstract: Peat horizons with numerous subfossil stumps and roots of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris), frequently occurring in northern European peat bogs, are reveling periods with considerable pine growth on the bogs during the Holocene. It is assumed that periods with relatively low bog surface wetness (BSW) have enhanced establishment of bog-pines in the past and that hydrological changes have inf

Könsdiskriminering förekommer i dagens samhälle. I regel har kvinnor runt om i världen lägre inkomst än män. Olikheter inom utbildning på olika nivåer kvarstår fortfarande och större delen av världens analfabeter är kvinnor. På senare tid har nationalekonomer som forskar inom ämnesområdet internationell handel även uppmärksammat genusaspekten. Studien har fokuserat på hur jämställdhet påverkas av

Overcrowded units, excessive waiting lists and overstrained personell. Add an aging population and you have some of the challenges facing the Swedish health care system. Change is needed at multiple levels and it needs the involvement of a wide variety of actors. Some researchers suggest that many of the current change efforts fails to honor the complexity of health care organizations. In our the

Purpose: The purpose is to explore a potential adoption of RFID technology in Spanish oranges producers´ outbound flow of the grey RFID-tagged plastic pallets that are delivered to Swedish wholesalers. The exploration will be focus on aspects regarding RFID technology, like level of knowledge and awareness, the willingness to invest on it, the attitude of the companies regarding the adoption, the

En analys och syntes av Donald Davidsons och John R. Searles teorier om metaforers mening. Jag har lyft fram tre problem som drabbar Davidsons och Searles teorier angående komplexa metaforer, modern kognitionsvetenskap och metaforisk kompetens, för att sedan utveckla en syntes av teorierna som bättre hanterar dessa problem.
