Having a specialized editor or IDE has become commonplace for many programming languages. Smaller languages, especially domain-specific ones that normally have very narrow usage areas, often lack such convenience features due to their naturally small user base. Tools for implementing editor support for these languages are called language workbenches. Unfortunately these often lack features for mor

The data visualization softwares Qlikview and Qlik Sense are based on an associative data model, and this thesis analyzes different tools and methods for solving 0-1 integer programs as well as examines their applicability to the computational engine behind these softwares. The first parts are dedicated to a theoretical background on mathematical optimization, linear programming and Qlik’s impleme

Abort är lagligt i Vietnam sedan 1945. Vietnam har under flera årtioden haft bland de högsta aborttalen i världen. Avsaknaden av trovärdiga siffror på abort och samlad information på abort talar för ett behov av en övergripande beskrivning av nuvarande lagstiftning och situation.

This study examines the association between revenue and user base for companies who operate a platform-mediated business model and benefit from network effects. More specifically, the study incorporates both an exponential and linear function in order to see which one most accurately explains the association. Previous research has theorized the notion of an exponential association between revenue

Denna rapport har gjorts i utbildningssyfte i kursen Brandteknisk riskvärdering på Brandingenjörsprogrammet vid Lunds tekniska högskola. Fokus i rapporten ligger på personsäkerhet i en utrymningssituation för Universitetsbiblioteket i Lund. Inledningsvis har en grovriskanalys genomförts för att identifiera tänkbara scenarier. Denna grundar sig i en deterministisk scenarioanalys där varje tänkbartThe purpose of the report is to evaluate the fire safety design of the University Library in Lund. The focus of the report is only too considerate the personal safety for the occupants. A risk analysis has been carried out to identify possible scenarios. This risk analysis is based on a deterministic scenario analysis where each possible outcome is dimensioned as a worst credible case. Seven scen

Om vi ska avleda de värsta effekterna av klimatkrisen måste vi hålla oss inom gränserna för vår globala koldioxidbudget. Precis som att vi dagligen förhåller oss till vår hushållsbudget, måste våra utsläpp återspegla det vi har kvar på vårt ”klimatkonto”. Kommuner är i behov av ett verktyg för att översätta vad det globala åtagandet i Parisavtalet innebär lokalt. Kommunala koldioxidbudgetar är idaWe have a limited amount of greenhouse gases left to emit, our global carbon budget, if we are to divert the worst effects of the climate crisis. This study aimed to map how municipalities implement carbon-budgeting in their efforts to fulfil the Paris agreement, and investigate why the instrument is not more frequently used. A survey among Swedish municipalities was carried out, in two stages. A
