Talade utrymningslarm installeras som en riskreducerande åtgärd i byggnader där det vistas personer som inte kan väntas ha god lokalkännedom. En grundförutsättning för att utrymningslarmet ska uppfylla sin riskreducerande effekt är att det är hörbart, därav är ett talöverföringsindex, STI, på 0,55 rekommenderat. STI är ett mått på taluppfattbarhet som inte tar hänsyn till den subjektiva upplevelse

Today’s sports glasses are great for rather extreme sports like biking, skiing and running often in tough weather conditions. They protect against wind, rain, blinding sun in the snow but also insects and dirt. But what about those people who perform casual sports such as gym, jogging, and yoga? I made a survey to find out the main reasons why people don’t use their own glasses while perform

In today’s modern city planning are the so-called detailed development plans used for deciding how a specific area is supposed to be used and for what purpose. A problem which is occurring from time to time, is that some detailed development plans are not coming up as it was thought they would. Often it is seen that areas have more dwelling, parking space and in some cases big super markets than w

There is a longstanding debate between environmentalists and economists regarding the possibility to combine economic growth and sustainability. So far, the neoliberal economists’ argumentation for a capitalist economic system with everlasting economic growth has been the dominating paradigm. In Sweden, one group of environmentalists able to influence policymaking without being actual decision-mak

As the COVID-19 pandemic forces people to work and study from home, a change that also might last after the pandemic, the usability and functionality available in a Learning Management Systems(LMS) become crucial for everyday life. The goal of this master thesis was to design and implement an integration between Grade’s platform and Microsoft Teams in a way that allows Grade and their customers to

Background: Escherichia coli, the most common bacterium causing urinary tract infections (UTIs), is increasinglyreported as resistant to multiple antibiotics. Swedish surveillance data from hospital and primary health care(PHC) report a 17%–19% prevalence of resistance to ciprofloxacin in E. coli from urine cultures in men over20 years of age. Surveillance data may include nosocomial infections.

This article uses a new database of 1,891 probate inventories from rural southern Sweden to investigate the development of rural households’ productive capacity from the late 1600s to the 1860s. Both labourers and farmers improved their material living standards – as measured by the contents of probate inventories – but the labouring households’ ownership of means of production decreased over timeThis article uses a new database of 1,891 probate inventories from rural southern Sweden to investigate the development of rural households’ productive capacity from the late 1600s to the 1860s.

Membrane filtration of kraft black liquor (KBL), a side-stream of the pulp and paper industry, is challenged by membrane fouling caused by its multicomponent complexity. The specific contributions of the components found in KBL to the fouling and the characteristics of the fouling layer that they create has not been investigated. Herein, the adsorptive and desorptive behaviours of KBL ultrafiltrat

Reliable maritime communication systems are essential for both safety-critical operations and emerging applications such as autonomous shipping, remote pilotage, and drone-assisted search and rescue. These scenarios demand ultra-reliable, low-latency wireless connectivity, where communication outages are unacceptable. Equally important is the need for dependable positioning systems. In situations

Understanding the influence of land use/land cover (LULC) on stream water quality (WQ) is essential for conservation of ecosystem services (ES) and informing sustainable land use planning. This study investigates the influence of LULC on stream WQ during the wet and dry seasons 2022–2024, across two representative watersheds in the Bolivian central Andes, a region with marked physical gradients, a

Vitrified bonded aluminum oxide grinding wheels are widespread in use for many applications in grinding, such as internal plunge grinding. However, there are challenges when it comes to the measurement, analysis and (geometric) modeling of their topography, which is crucial to understand and model the influence of the topography on the process behavior. Methodological advances allow for the detail

Purpose: Children and youth with disabilities are at increased risk of abuse a major societal and public health problem in Cameroon. The aim was to explore the causes of abuse among children and youth with disabilities in homes and institutions in the Northwest Region of Cameroon. Methods: A qualitative study was conducted, including 50 in-depth interviews with children and youth with disabilities

Den 1 juli 2022 infördes i Sverige ett kronvittnessystem som enligt svensk rätt utgör en strafflindringsgrund på grund av utredningsmedverkan av annans brott. Kronvittnessystemet, som är tänkt som ett redskap i brottsbekämpande syfte, är en främmande fågel för svenskt påföljdssystem. Då kronvittnessystemet i princip kastats in i svensk rätt, kan det ifrågasättas hur enhetligheten i påföljdssysteme

This master thesis will explore the application and challenge of Intelligent Driving Assistance System (IDAS) within China’s New Energy Vehicle (NEV) industry, aiming to identify and address user experience challenges to enhance interaction with smart driving features. Quantatitive research method, by survey and its analysis, is utilized to underscore the importance of user-centric design in devel

Aim: To evaluate a pipeline for automatic MRI brain segmentation and volumetric tissue structure quantification in a cohort of extremely preterm infants. Methods: 13 extremely preterm neonates underwent MRI-scanning at a term equivalent age. Seven of these subjects had suitable MRI sequences and were analyzed in the pipeline. Segmentation of MRI brain images into brain tissue types and parcellati

The Nordic states’ approaches to security have been painted out as differentiated because of their alliance affiliations. However, in the light of a changing security environment and increasing international collaboration on security issues, there is a need to re-evaluate the Nordic context and alliance-state relations in the construction of security. In this thesis, the influences of security com
