The purpose of this report is to evaluate and assess the fire safety at the sports center Pilängshallen located in Lomma. The report is only focused on personal safety and no consideration has been taken concerning economic or environmental damage. Pilängshallen is used on a daily basis for several different sport and workout activities by both local sport clubs and the public, as well as by scho
In Sweden, reindeer husbandry is one of the most important traditions of the Sami people and is protected by the Reindeer Husbandry Act. The reindeer are semi-domesticated and migrate to different grazing lands depending on seasons. Reindeer husbandry is dependent on weather conditions for forage availability throughout the year, and this study examines potential effects of the predicted climate c
Den svenska fjärrvärmesektorn står idag inför många utmaningar på grund av konkurrens från andra uppvärmingsalternativ kombinerat med ett minskande värmebehov i byggnader. För att öka dess konkurrenskraft måste fjärrvärmebolagen utveckla sätt att hålla produktionskostnaden för fjärrvärme på en mer eller mindre konstant nivå. Ett sätt att göra detta är att öka fjärrvärmesystemens effektivitet. För The district heating sector in Sweden is today facing several challenges due to competition from other heating alternatives as well as decreasing heat demand in buildings. To increase its competitiveness, the district heating companies have to find ways to keep their production costs at a more or less constant level. One way of doing this is to increase the efficiency of the district heating syste
The main purpose of this study is to research how an organization can develop, implement and measure the effect of employee well-being strategies to ultimately boost the organization’s bottom line. In this exploratory case study, SAP served as the case of investigation and primary data was collected through six qualitative interviews. The sample included SAP representatives from different levels o
This bachelor thesis, ”You don’t bite the hand that feeds you” – A discourse analytical study of fashion journalism's limitations and consequences, studies runway reviews in order to identify the different uses of discoursive language within the so-called ’glossy’ fashion journalism. Through a qualitative discourse analytical method and approach, runway reviews from Vogue Runway have been subj
The aim of this master thesis is to investigate a new control principal for Haldex Limited Slip Coupling. HLSC can be characterized as a hydraulic slip coupling intended to be part of a 4WD-system for passenger vehicles fitted between the front and rear axle. The investigation is to be both theoretical and practical. The current system can be described with the three following functional blocks: <
In order to get a system with a very low damping, a positionservo has been provided with an inertia disc driven by spring transmission. The servo will therefore drive a mechanical oscillation unit. The motor is simulated as armature controlled by feeding back the tachogenerator signal to the existing motor which is field controlled. In a former examination work at the institution the transfer func
Purpose: This study aims at researching how the ethical issues raised by big data practices can be used to motivate internal CSR actions based on stakeholder engagement. Methodology: The study applies a qualitative approach based on a participant observation while the authors were doing an Internship in the innovation department at Aller Media A/S. A set of semi-structured interviews with employee
Purpose: The purpose of this master thesis is for Nolato Medevo to extract a system that measures the company’s manufacturing capacity. The system should also show the reasons why the utilization rate becomes as it is. Analysis of the output values from the system, as well as observations, should lead to proposals on how to improve the efficiency in the production. Methodology: Both a quantitative
In regards to the different views we have in society and norms that we follow it is often hard to confirm where they come from and where they are established. The courts and the legal judgments that they produce can potentially be viewed as a source that has the power and ability to create, establish as well as uphold views and norms that lie in society. Female criminality is a discourse which doe
At the turn of the century a new situation on the international energy market emerged and the European Union is now facing a growing number of energy challenges. Climate change, import dependency, growing global competition for energy supplies and increasing risks of energy supply disruptions has made energy security the dominant element of European energy policy. The demand for a common European
The importance of E-commerce in the grocery and food retailing is growing and an increasing number of home delivery solutions are being studied. Some observers predict that the consumers will use e-commerce and home delivery services more and more in the future. However, these developments are affected by a number of problems, many of which are not completely understood. This thesis particularly f
Chapter 1 defines the aim of the project and gives a general orientation about ground heat extractors. In chapter 2 physical processes that could be expected to be involved in the heat transport around a ground heat exchanger are discussed. It is shown from a literature study what amount of moisture transport due to thermal gradients there could be expected in a ground heat exchanger. The conclusi
This bachelor-level thesis in historical osteology deals with several aspects of the life-cycle of an Roman Iron Age farm in southern Scania. Excavated in the 1980's by Lars Larsson, the farm was located near a place called Långåker in the Dybäck area, on a cape which stretched out into a minor bog. Our work concerns why the Iron Age people settled the area, how well fragmented bone survives
In this essay I have tried to come close to a probable answer to the following question: Is there a risk that the trust between the Swedish public and the Swedish medical services staff, including the doctors, will be severely damaged if euthanasia is legalized in Sweden. In order to try to answer that question, and some other relevant questions that has corresponding interest in the context that
The word crisis is often used in everyday language, but according to political theory it actually refers to a crisis situation within a country where national interests suddenly are at stake demanding that important and complex decisions must be made within certain time constraints. These decisions can in turn lead up to most fatal consequences. USA, being one of the world's superpowers is mos
