The South East Coast of Scania is a popular destination for both Swedish and foreign tourists. The long and wide sandy beaches are well visited by swimmers and beachgoers, but the waters have shown to be treacherous at times. In Au- gust 2015, two German tourists drowned after getting caught in a probable rip current in the proximity of Hav ̈ang beach. Six months after the accident, this thesis st

Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur körundervisning påverkar en musikhögskoleutbildning, och hur detta skulle kunna se ut i praktiken. Studien var baserat bland annat på Zoltán Kodálys skrifter som kretsar kring ovanstående tema, och annan forskning och litteratur som rör körundervisning och andra aspekter av undervisning. Forskningsfrågorna fokuserade på vad körundervisning har för effekter The purpose of this study was to explore how choral education influences higher music education. The basis of the study is partly Zoltán Kodálys writings that were relevant to the subject, and research and literature relevant to choral education and other aspects of teaching. The research questions focused on effects of choral education relevant to a music academy education, and how choral educati

The aim of this study was to get insight into what stereotypes and prejudice students at Lund University in Sweden might have towards people receiving welfare. The study used focus groups and a survey to collect material. The results from the focus groups were mainly used for the operationalization of the terms stereotypes and prejudice for the survey. Previous studies within the field of prejudic

En kvalitativ studie om hur värdeskapande aktiviteter påverkar generation Y online

This bachelor thesis is a study of FRANK, a less established art gallery with studios, and the activities carried out there. I have interviewed six artists connected to FRANK, about their art activities and their relations to the more established art scenes in Malmö. My experiences is that less established artists and art activities do not get equal attention as the more established. With this the

Sammanfattning Projektet handlar om att genom rationella lösningar ge möjlighet att bygga bostäder tidseffektivt och på detta sätt även göra ett inlägg i den svenska bostadsdebatten, vilken är mycket problematisk för tillfället. Hela Sverige lider i princip av bostadsbrist idag. Det hämmar utvecklingen för företag och övriga delar av samhället. För att avhjälpa bostadsbristen är detta ett projekt Abstract This project is based on the housing crisis that Sweden is having right now. The aim of this master thesis in architecture is to be a part of the solution and an entry in the Swedish housing debate. Through making a flexible and rational system the goal is to make construction fast, without compromising with architectural qualities. This is not a complete solution of the housing shortage

Det här examensarbetet fokuserar på att designa och konstruera en ny typ av instrument för att studera plankton och den miljö de lever i. Arbetet utnyttjar de framsteg som gjorts inom små diod-lasrar och små kamerasensorer tillsammans med innovativ optik för att konstruera ett kompakt och relativt billigt instrument som på avstånd kan upptäcka individuella plankton på flera djup samtidigt och på saThis thesis is oriented around designing the world first inelastic hyperspectral LiDAR(Light Detection and Ranging) system for aquatic use. The system was designed around the task of monitoring zooplankton and environmental indicators in water. Scheimpflug lidar was previously developed for monitoring flying insects, aerosols and gases. Here we extend the concept to inelastic hyperspectral ranging ca

Klimatförändringar medför ökad risk för översvämningar och kustnära Göteborg är särskilt utsatt. Aktörerna som arbetar med att hantera översvämningsrisker bildar ett socialt nätverk och hur det ser ut kan få stora effekter för riskhantering i samhällsplaneringsprocessen. Via examensarbetet har det nu gjorts försök att kartlägga och analysera effekterna av detta nätverk. Förändringar i klimatet orDue to today’s climate changes, the risk of flooding is increasing, both caused by rising sea levels and as a consequence of heavy rainfall. Urban environments are largely consisting of impermeable surfaces, unable to permeate large amounts of water in the event of a flooding. In the scope of this work, the aim has been to map the social network of actors involved in flood management in Gothenburg

Klimatförändringen förväntas orsaka 20-25% kraftigare regnoväder i Sverige vilket, tillsammans med urbaniseringen, ökar sannolikheten för översvämningar i urbana områden. En översvämningen kan innebära stora materiella skador och kostnader för samhället. För att förebygga dessa behövs mer kunskap om vilka områden i staden som är mest utsatta. Information om var och när stora vattenmängder väntas kClimate change is expected to cause 20-25% heavier rainfall in Sweden which, in combination with the ongoing urbanization, increases the probability of flooding in urban areas. These floods may cause large infrastructural damage and economical costs. Therefore, adequate models for overland flow are needed to identify high-risk areas where mitigating actions should be performed. In this thesis a ne

Bioenergy as an alternative source for energy production and transportation has gained attention to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels. Short Rotation Coppice (SRC) as dedicated energy crops for heat and energy production have many demonstrated and proved climatic, biodiversity and environmental benefits, but concerns regarding the occurred Land Cover Change (LCC) from agriculture

This paper presents a stabilized incompressible smoothed particle hydrodynamics (ISPH) method to simultaneously simulate surface and seepage flow. The Navier-Stokes type equation, which manipulates the linear and nonlinear resistance effects caused from porous materials, are employed for tracking fluid motions in porous medium. The SPH method is one of the mesh-less particle methods and its Lagran

Bose-Einstein-kondensat är ett tillstånd av materia som kan uppnås när man kyler ner en gas med låg densitet till temperaturer väldigt nära den absoluta nollpunkten. Det observerades för första gången 1995 i en gas av rubidiumatomer men förutspåddes teoretiskt i början av 1900-talet av Bose och Einstein. Kondensatet har bevisats kunna drastiskt bromsa ljusets hastighet eller helt enkelt stanna detThe nonlinear Schrödinger equation is a partial differential equation which appears as a model in several branches of physics, including Bose-Einstein condensation and hydrodynamics. In this thesis, we investigate a particular class of solutions, namely periodic standing waves. We derive explicit formulas for the solutions using elliptic functions and study their variational properties. The standi

The building industry accounts for a large part of the world’s carbon dioxide emissions. At the same time the awareness of sustainable construction and production phase has increased and focus has been directed towards the material wood. Likewise, continuing urbanisation requires multi-storey buildings made of wood which brings along certain difficulties and challenges. Due to the low mass of wood

Förnybara energikällor och återvunnen energi kan integreras i fjärrvärmenätet genom att ansluta en anläggning ute i nätet för att komplettera den centrala produktionen. Detta har fördelar för det lokala energisystemet som på ett klimatsmart sätt kan säkerställa värmekvalité även långt ut i nätet.The district heating sector is moving into a new era which brings lower temperatures in the heating network which in turn opens up for a more extensive use of low grade heat such as solar heat. This project aims to develop a dynamic simulation model for feeding centrals in order to be able to design and optimize systems for decentralized feeding regardless of heat source. The big challenge lies in
