För att se vilken inverkan regnets intensitet har på avrinningskoefficienten gjordes en litteraturstudie samt beräkningar i Excel. Litteraturstudien visar att de tabellerade värdena på avrinningskoefficienten är framtagna genom en undersökning där ett formulär sändes ut till privata och offentliga kontor i USA där de angav vilka värden på avrinningskoefficienten de brukar använda. Resultatet är prIn order to increase the knowledge regarding how the runoff coefficient varies with increased rainfall intensity, a literature study and calculations in Excel were conducted. The background to how the tabled values of the runoff coefficient have been determined was found to be a book based on an assembly of answers to a survey collected from different companies in USA. The book is called Design an

Since the purchasing expenditure of many companies is such a large part of the total cost and 99,8 % of companies are classified as Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SME), one might expect that theories on purchasing strategy would not only be conducted for large companies but also SMEs. In order to fill this gap in theory, this thesis aims to create a purchasing strategy framework for SMEs in t

I detta examensarbete undersöks svensklärares uppfattningar om och användning av svenskämnets estetiska dimensioner. Svensklärarnas uppfattningar jämförs sedan med teaterlärares ämnestraditioner och undervisning. Syftet har varit att synliggöra och problematisera beröringspunkterna mellan ämnena svenska och teater samt att undersöka om och hur teaterlärares ämnestradition kan komplettera svensklär

Det har förekommit situationer där en byggnadsnämnd har tolkat att PBL 9 kap. 30 § 1 st. p. 1 a innebär att bygglov inte kan beviljas för en fastighet som består dels av kvartersmark, dels av allmän platsmark. En sådan fastighet ansågs planstridig oavsett aktuellt huvudmannaskap i detaljplanen. Följaktligen har byggnadsnämnden för att bygglovet ska kunna beviljas, hänvisat bygglovssökande till lanThere have been several occurrences where the Building committee has not granted a building permit due to the fact that a real property unit contains partly development district and partly public space. Such a real property unit has been regarded as not corresponding with the detailed development plan. Consequently, the Building committee has referred the person who applied for the building permit

This thesis opens up the “black box” of business incubation and analyses how this process works in an incubator for cultural and creative ventures in Northern Sweden. The theoretical framework of the rites of passage by Arnold van Gennep and Victor Turner was adopted to guide the analysis. This theory indicates that one can move from one status to the next in a society through the means of differe

Regenerated cellulose fibres can become a sustainable alternative to cotton and polyester in textile applications. One method of producing such is dissolution of cellulose in an ionic liquid (IL) and regeneration through air-gap spinning. In this master thesis, the dissolution state of cellulose in the ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate (EmimAc) together with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO

Denna studie undersöker hur väl riksdagspartiernas straffrättsliga politik överensstämmer med den kriminologisk forskningen rörande detta ämne, samt möjliga förklaringar till detta förhållande mellan politik och forskning. Det material som används utgörs av riksdagspartiernas partipolitik och valprogram inför riksdagsvalet 2018, och analyseras utifrån en kvalitativ innehållsanalys. I analysen till

This study inspects the micro-determinants of return intentions for foreign nuclear families in Italy. In particular, I argue against the unitary nature of households and focus on intra-household patterns of decision-making, which have been largely neglected by previous studies. Using data from the “Statistics of Income and Living Conditions of Households with Foreigners” (Istat, 2009), I find tha

Två studenter, Safa och Jane, från kemiteknikprogrammet LTH har undersökt möjligheten att hantera hela reningsprocessen av spillvatten på Dow Chemical site i Landskrona genom att installera en pilotanläggning för nanofiltrering i anslutning till den redan befintliga ultrafiltreringsanläggningen. Dow i Landskrona framställer olika vattenbaserade bindemedel från akrylmonomerer och stora mängder vatDuring the spring semester 2018, an investigation about supplementary cleaning of the waste water at Dow Chemical site in Landskrona was done. Different water-based binders from acrylic monomers are produced by Dow and large amounts of water is used for such processes. The wastewater, that is treated currently by ultrafiltration (UF), contains different chemical residues such as surfactants, resid

The B-format is an audio format capable of reproducing full spherical surround audio, meaning sounds can appear as if coming from any direction around the listener. This thesis investigates an approach to quantify and manipulate the spatial information carried in B-format audio signals. It describes an analysis method and a corresponding model for quantifying the spatial data. Two types of appli

Previous research shows that gender is a strong predictor of household labour division in heterosexual households. Same-sex couples cannot use gender and social norms associated with them as a starting point for initial household labour allocation. Although literature on household labour division is extensive, it does not elaborate enough on same-sex households. The aim of this study is to fill th

For this exploratory study, I reached out to all 302 individuals that were listed as PhD students at the psychology departments of all Swedish and Dutch “Top 100” universities. The final 111 participants (37.9% response rate) were asked to indicate how often they encountered questionable research practices (QRPs) and replied to items asking about the impact of QRPs on themselves and their environm

In media today, sex offenders are often described as horrible, monstrous people and are frequently faced with hatred, sometimes in the form of threats of violence. Threats like these can result in sex offenders getting granted identity confidentiality, which has led to a public outrage. Is it fair that high risk sex offenders, who destroyed the life of innocent victims, are getting help from the a

I förskolan slängs en tredjedel av maten Matsvinnet har hamnat i fokus de senaste åren på grund av bland annat dess påverkan på klimat och miljö. Matsvinn är ätbar mat som slängs. Globalt sett slängs ungefär 1,3 miljarder ton mat varje år. Ungefär en tredjedel av all mat slängs istället för att hamna i någons mage. I Sverige slängs 1,3 miljoner ton, vilket är en tiondel av den globala mängden matsOne third of food produced for human consumption ends up as food waste. Globally this amounts to about 1.3 billion ton per year. Food waste are large amounts of food that are thrown away, but could have been eaten if treated in a different way. Food waste means waste of resources such as land, water, and energy. In high-income countries like Sweden the largest food waste occurs at consumption stag

Emotioner har studerats och varit viktiga för att förklara och förstå sociala händelser hos många av sociologins klassiker. Emotioner påverkar kvaliteten på relationen mellan människor och känslor kan både skapa avstånd som närhet till andra . Det finns en mängd olika emotioner som upplevs både positiva eller negativa. De väcks i relationen till andra människor, i olika situationer och på olika ar

Warehouse operations are considered a key aspect to the success of a supply chain. They are not only costly to the supply chain but they also affect the flow of material both upstream and downstream. Warehouse improvement measures play therefore a considerable role in decreasing cost and lead time by improving material flows. To increase the efficiency of material flows and aiming to reduce labor

A statistic released this year (2018) by the World Road Transport Organization shows that more than 80% of inland freight is moved by road. Frequent e-commerce activities and end-consumer demands on delivery performance have increased transport needs yet fill rates have decreased. Transport is less efficient and unsustainable while profit margins also shrink, motivating fiercer competition among s

Kommuners tillsyn av rökfria skolgårdar Rökning kostar det svenska samhället uppskattat 30 miljarder kronor per år i kostnaden för sjukvård, produktionsförluster och sjukskrivning. Rökning bland ungdomar har minskat de senaste åren, men det är fortfarande nästan en fjärdedel av alla elever i årskurs 2 på gymnasiet, ser sig själv som rökare. För att stoppa ungdomar från att röka genomför kommunen The purpose of this study was to investigate the supervision of non-smoking school yards in Sweden. Smoking costs Swedish society an estimated 30 billion SEK annually in cost for healthcare, production losses and sick leave. Smoking among adolescents has declined in recent years, but it is still 24 % in high school's grade 2, which categorized as smokers. The supervision of the schoolyard is t
