The aim of this study is to highlight men who have experienced sexual violence. The study is based on an examination on what help there is available for men who have experienced sexual violence and why there seems to be a bigger resistance from men, rather than from women, to report to the police and seek help after their experiences.

Denna uppsats visar att IS-integration vid sammanslagningar är ett problematiskt område. Organisationer väljer vanligtvis att fokusera på själva sammanslagningen med de fördelar och aspekter som kan bidra till en bättre organisation istället för att beakta IS. Detta görs genom att utesluta IS delen som ofta tas för givet av de som arbetar med sammanslagningar. Istället fokuserar organisationen på

Fokus på att undersöka auditiva subliminala stimulus påverkan på logisk förmåga. Även social önskvärdhets inverkan på resultatet granskas. Inverkan av oro och spännings nivå på hur emottaglig en individ var för primingmeddelandet undersöktes. Deltagarna (N= 51) presenterades för negativa stimuli (orden ”jag är värdelös”) respektive positiva stimuli (orden ”jag är duktig”) dolt av klassisk musik, e

Two unannounced evacuations of Marks & Spencer stores were conducted in a large singlestory building at Sprucefield, Lisburn and in a three-storey building at Donegall Place, Belfast, Northern Ireland. The purpose of this report was to collect, compile and evaluate human information with respect to its ability viz. computer simulation modelling, fire regulations and Fire Safety Engineering ap

Using CFAST, heat transfer equations, various information on the geometry and contents of the facility, information about various fire detection- and suppression systems, and computer programs like @Risk® and PrecisionTree®.

The many and costly wildland fires in later years have created a demand for better knowledge about the spreading of the wildland fire on to structures and how you should protect your home against these fires. This report is a part of a large study, “Analysis of the fire risk to structures in the southern California urban-wildland interface”, on these matters performed by the University of Californ

This report summarizes the classification systems for surface lining materials in Europe and Japan. There is also a part including a discussion on differences, similarities and possible ways to link the two different systems together. In June 1994, an important agreement was made between the member countries in the European Community. The agreement stated that all member countries should have the
