For a long time, Quentin Skinner has been one of the world’s most prominent figures in the discipline of intellectual history. As one of the leading proponents of what has come to be known as “the Cambridge school” he has always been a strong advocate for the implementation of a singular historical method, based on a mix of, what I would call, a “Collingswoodian contextualism” and an “Austian spee

There is a constant need for the fire and rescue service to develop new methods, materials and extinguishing media to implement the most effective firefighting operations as possible while minimizing environmental impacts. The effect of additives in the extinguishing water is fairly unknown. In this report small-scale experiments shows that additives and fire retardants can provide a significant i

De senaste åren har antalet sjukskrivningar relaterade till psykisk sjukdom ökat, och en stor del av denna ökning tillskrivs stressproblematik i arbetslivet. Syftet med denna studie var att kartlägga behovet av stresshantering på två mindre företag, samt att undersöka sambandet mellan självrapporterad stress och anställdas upplevelse av krav, kontroll, stöd och meningsfullhet.

The Tam Giang-Cau Hai lagoon is located outside of Hue in central Vietnam. Southeast of Thuan An inlet, one of the two inlets of the lagoon, a groin was constructed in 2008 as a measure to reduce the sediment transport to prevent the inlet from closing. This groin has caused erosion of the eastern sand spit of the inlet and accretion of sediment on the coastline south east of the groin. The object

This Master Thesis was done in collaboration with Nederman AB in Helsingborg and the aim was to analyse and develop a suggestion for a new modernized Powerbox which is one of Nedermans products in the auto workshop segment. The Powerbox is a product for sourcing of compressed air, vacuum suction and electric power. Nederman is a strong brand and considered a market leader in many of its areas. The

An experimental study was performed, aimed at finding a way to produce single crystalline powder of pure (Fe0.7Co0.3)2B with a particle size of 100-200nm. This was done with the ultimate goal of producing a hard magnetic ferrite powder for powder metallurgical production of permanent magnets. For this study, eight different compositions of iron, cobalt and boron were atomized using atomization by

The thesis treats a partial implementation of the SCORM standard for an existing LMS (Learning Management System), and includes an overview of the standard and a presentation and analysis of the implementation. SCORM is short for Shareable Content Object Reference Model and is a standard for web based e-learning. The standard specifies, among other things, API, aggregation and data model. The impl

För patienter med cancer är cancerrelaterad smärta ett vanligt problem som orsakar ett stort lidande. Syftet var att beskriva användandet av musik i förhållande till omvårdnad av vuxna patienter med cancerrelaterad smärta. Resultatet visade genom teman att musiken kunde lindra såväl fysisk som psykisk/emotionell cancerrelaterad smärta samt att användningen och graden av smärtlindring påverkas av s

Traffic engineers around the country often use pre-programmed path plans. However, there is often an uncertainty in how much margin there is in the path plan and if they are trustworthy. The goal of this report is to determine the margin in pre-programmed path plans, using the program AutoTurn, for trucks with a length of 10 meters. This report discusses drive and rest times how both the drive and

Trash-talk är vanligt inom sportens värld, och efter att Muhammad Ali gjorde entré har det blivit en integrerad del av boxningen. I uppsatsen analyseras trash-talk genomförda av två världsmästare i boxning, Muhammad Ali och Mike Tyson, och en jämförelse görs med klassiska smädelsetal. Det visade sig finnas likheter i form av ett överflöd av stilfigurer och glorifiering av sig själva mellan de två

It has been argued that harmonization leads to a more effective delivery of aid to recipient countries, and ultimately to the target population and thus cooperation in general would be an adequate means to achieve this goal. However, the implementation of the Paris Agenda has so far progressed slowly. Vietnam is often reported as a case where cooperation between donors is working fine. By making u

Methane emissions from Northern wetlands constitute a substantial part of the total natural emission of methane, a strong greenhouse gas. Both environmental and biotic factors influence the production, oxidation and transport of methane and hence its net flux. The methane emission from Northern wetlands is highly variable both spatially and temporally. As many factors influence the methane flux, k

Chinese accounting standard experienced a change from rule based accounting standard to principle accounting standard. Although it increase the accounting information quality in certain degree, but the expansion of professional judgment space made the Chinese accounting information quality still not high. This is mainly caused by accountant’s bad performance. There is a gap between what is society

The study (written in Swedish) aims to study computer games as cultural artifacts of history and thus find expression of historical consciousness. The study builds on theories on the use of history and considers cultural products with historical content as part of a communicative context of the past. Computer games are interactive in nature, which means that the player has the opportunity to influ

Psykisk ohälsa är idag ett utbrett problem i samhället och drabbar inte minst ungdomar. En behandlingsform, som är mer vanlig i USA än i Europa och Sverige, är att använda naturen som miljö under vårdtiden. Friluftsterapi ger ungdomarna möjligheten att komma bort från en ibland destruktiv vardag och instituonalisering och utsätta sig för utmaningar i en friluftsmiljö. Friluftsterapi är ingen e
