The aspect of sustainability has been a major topic in construction and real estate planning the last decade, but this seems to have fall between the cracks in the fire protection design. Therefor the aim of this thesis is to map building developer and fire engineer’s opinion and understanding about sustainable fire safety. The report also aims to develop an explanation of the concept and investig

During the last decades a brownification of the lakes and streams in the northern hemisphere has been observed. The change has been attributed to an increase of organic content in the water, leached from the top soil layers, called humic substances. Several theories have been proposed to explain the drivers behind the brownification process, among them the decrease of sulfur deposition from reduce

Quantum Cascade Lasers (QCLs) have since their invention in 1994 become a crucial source for mid-infrared and THz radiation. Mid-infrared QCLs have achieved room temperature operation while THz QCLs have not. As such, simulations are an important tool in order to achieve a THz QCL operational at room temperature. This work uses a simulation package based on a nonequilibrium Green’s function model Quantum Cascade Lasers (QCLs) can be designed to emit radiation in the Terahertz (THz) range. For these frequencies, which are faster than electronics and slower than infrared light, there are currently only few devices facing a wide potential of applications. The realization of room temperature operation of THz QCLs would enable practical use in e.g. spectroscopy and public safety. The question i

Enligt lagen (2003:778) om skydd mot olyckor, LSO, har den som äger en byggnad eller bedriver verksamhet i byggnaden det yttersta ansvaret för sitt brandskydd. I skälig omfattning ska det finnas utrustning för livräddning vid brand, och i övrigt ska åtgärder vidtas för att förebygga samt begränsa skador till följd av brand. Det är kommunernas ansvar att utföra tillsyn på brandskyddet så att dettaAccording to Swedish Law (2003:778) on protection against accidents, LSO, the one who owns a building or conducts operations in a building has the ultimate responsibility of their fire protection. To a reasonable extent, there must be equipment for lifesaving in the event of a fire, as well as other measures which must be taken to prevent fire and limit damage as a result of fire. In this study, t

Galektiner är en grupp proteiner som finns i de flesta djur och celltyper. Gemensamt är att de binder till kolhydrater. De flesta cellmembran är täckta av glykoproteiner, det vill säga proteiner med en kolhydratssvans längst ut. Till den, kan galektiner binda, vilket kan användas för att signalera och kommunicera mellan celler. Galektiner har visats vara aktiva i en rad olika sjukdomar så som cancThe family of proteins called galectins, are a group of carbohydrate-binding proteins. This allows them to take part in cell signalling by binding to glycoproteins on cell surfaces. Galectin-9 has been identified as a TIM3 ligand. TIM3 is a protein found on T-cells, which are used by the immune system to destroy for example cancer cells. When galectin-9 binds TIM3 it starts a reaction chain which

Abstrakt Syfte: Syftet med litteraturstudien är att systematiskt sammanställa och beskriva på vilket sätt Crew Resource Management (CRM) används och vilka effekter det ger i akut- och ambulanssjukvårds kontext. Bakgrund: CRM kommer ursprungligen från flygindustrin och har sedan millennieskiftet implementerats i hälso- och sjukvården. Bristande kommunikation är en stor bidragande faktor till att vå

Christiania is a historically and culturally interesting district in the middle of Copenhagen, Denmark. This work is an investigation into the possible ways and methods through which Christiania could be developed in the future. It includes a careful analysis of the factors that have shaped this district, Richard Floridas theory of the creative city, and how to preserve the integrity of this area

Geologi är ett samhällsviktigt ämne som kan kommuniceras genom geoturism. Geoturism är en typ av naturturism med fokus på geologi, som även skapar mervärde åt naturupplevelser och kulturella värden. I en geopark används geoturism som ett verktyg för att förmedla kunskap om jordens historia och det viktiga sambandet mellan geodiversitet och biodiversitet. Geologiska förutsättningar genererar livsviGeology is a socially important subject that can be communicated through geotourism. Geotourism is a type of nature tourism with a focus on geology, which creates added values for the natural and cultural heritage. In a geopark, geotourism is used as a tool to convey knowledge about Earth's history and the important relationship between geodiversity and biodiversity. Geological and geophysical

Glioblastom är den vanligaste och svåraste formen av hjärntumörer hos vuxna. De tillhör gruppen gliom som utgår från gliacellerna i centrala nervsystemet och utgör 80% av all gliom. Välkända riskfaktorer inkluderar exponering för joniserande strålning och vissa genetiska syndrom såsom Li-Fraumeni syndrom och Neurofibromatos typ 1. Medelåldern för insjuknandet är 59 år och trots behandling med kiruIntroduction: Glioblastoma is the most aggressive form of primary brain tumor in adults. Current treatment including chemotherapy poses a limitation due to consequences of systemic toxicity. Further studies for alternative, multimodal treatments are necessary. Antisecretory factor is an endogenous protein. Studies have shown that it has anti-inflammatory and immune modulatory effects in experiment

Målet med det här examensarbetet var att underlätta för underhållspersonalen på Profilgruppen att byta ut gamla frekvensomriktare som kommunicerar via ControlNet till moderna som kommunicerar via EtherNet/IP. Det har gjorts genom att ta fram en manual som innehåller instruktioner för alla viktiga moment i en systematisk ordning. Dessa instruktioner har skrivits efter att ett par frekvensomriktare The goal of this thesis was to make it easier for the maintenance staff at Profilgruppen to replace old frequency converters that communicate via ControlNet with modern ones that communicate via EtherNet/IP. This has been done by producing a manual that contains instructions for all important steps in a systematic order. These instructions have been written after a few drives were replaced, to be

Giant cell arteritis is a disease the affects the arteries, for example the temporal artery. When affecting the temporal artery, it can cause serious consequences such as blindness and stroke. The existing methods for diagnosing the disease are invasive, time consuming and costly. Ultrasound would therefore be an attractive diagnostic alternative providing a lot of benefits. Information about the

I RH 2014:45 prövade Svea hovrätt för första gången frågan om hur bostadshyresgästers åberopande av rätten till respekt för hemmet enligt artikel 8 EKMR ska hanteras som grund mot uppsägning av ett hyresavtal. Hovrätten konstaterade att en hyresgäst som hyr sin bostad har en mer begränsad rätt till hemmet och föll sedan tillbaka på hyreslagens skälighetsbedömning. Den praxis som etablerades genom In RH 2014:45, the Svea Court of Appeal examined for the first time how residential tenants' invocation of the right to respect for their home according to Article 8 ECHR should be assessed as an argument against the termination of a tenancy agreement. The Svea Court of Appeal stated that a tenant who rents his or her home has a limited right to the home and thereafter based the judgement sole

Det har gjorts stora satsningar på självkörande fordon under senaste decenniet och i branschen finns en samsyn på att dessa fordon kommer att vara en del av den framtida fordonsflottan. Det råder delade meningar kring huruvida introduceringen av självkörande fordon kommer vara en fördel eller en nackdel för transportsystemet. De fördelar som ofta lyfts med självkörande fordon är minimering av olycA comprehensive literature review which investigates existing simulation studies is presented with a simulation as complement.
