Rust aims to bring safety to low-level programming by using zero-cost ab- stractions. These provide, among other things, guaranteed memory safety and threading without data races. Garbage collected languages have become popular to guarantee safety, but in performance critical, memory limited or real time applications, it is not an ideal solution. Rust is safe and still has manual memory managemen
This research paper introduces the concept of family/non-family boundary work as a form of boundary work. This study focuses on family member and non-family member employees working in a family-owned business who are involved in top management positions within the company. Through an analysis of narratives and interactive practices within the work context, based on ethnographic interviews and obse
FlatFrog develops a system for interactive displays, containing a glass where it’s concave shape is critical for the functioning of the system. By using simulation at an early stage of the product development process, the behavior of the glass and weak points in the structure can be detected even before prototyping. The purpose of the work was to simulate areas that, with relatively small means, c
Fler och er bor i städer, en miljö som ofta beskrivs i kontrast till natur. Men även om stadsmiljön är arti ciell och på vissa sätt själva motsatsen till begreppet natur, så är naturen ständigt närvarande i staden i form av klimat, växtlighet, årstider och väder. Att skapa möjligheter för upplevelser av natur är viktigt för människors välmående i staden. I denna ofta hektiska och intrycksmättade m
The purpose of this report is to find out which composition of fibres in clothes are the easiest to ignite when exposed to a smouldering fire (i.e. a cigarette). The end result of this report were several rankings concerning the ignitability of sweaters made of polar fleece, WCT-overalls, knitted cardigans (sweaters), dressing gowns (bathrobes) and sweatpants. Several conclusions could be made and
While female labour market participation is increasing worldwide, the development in Chile is slow and concentrated to the capital city of Santiago de Chile. Education has been found to increase female labour market participation in several studies, where my thesis contributes to the research with more careful analysis of the effects of higher education. Rather than analysing the joint effect of h
In Białowieża primeval forest (BPF) wolves Canis lupus supress red deer Cervus elaphus foraging via behaviourally-mediated, non-consumptive effects. Humans provide an additional risk factor differentially exhibited between areas devoid of human intervention and areas with high human hunting and foresting activity. The aim of the study was to test the behavioural responses of red deer to risk effec
Anyone trying to maintain a set of text documents in an information retrieval system will run into problems keeping it relevant and up to date as the amount of data increases. This thesis investigates how a collection of documents can be clustered in a way that resembles how a human would organize it. It also assesses how difficult it is to implement this into an existing information retrieval sys
Hanya Yanagihara’s novel A Little Life (2015) is about Jude St Francis, a successful lawyer whose inability to recover from his traumatic childhood causes him to commit suicide. This essay investigates why Jude is able to control and alter certain aspects of his life, but how he still is ultimately and finally dominated by his emotional trauma. By applying the theory on freedom in Jean-Paul Sartre
I dagens snabba medievärld där internet spelar en allt större roll har spelreglerna för hur journalistik bedrivs förändrats. Konkurrensen om konsumenterna har ökat och numera ställs ännu högre krav på att vara först med nyheterna, vilket innebär att källkritik och pressetik i viss mån åsidosätts. Just terrordåd, framförallt de som sker i ett geografiskt närområde, blir ofta väldigt uppmärksammat o
Osteoarthritis and osteoporosis are two medical conditions involving the hip which affect the life quality of many people worldwide. These two diseases are diagnosed with 2D imaging by analysis of radiological measures, bone mineral density and joint space. Computed Tomography (CT) can provide 3D images of the hip, but has higher cost and imposes a higher radiation dose to the patient. Another op
International transplantation is a commonly used term in the field of comparative law to illustrate the process of institutional borrowing. Using the case of Indonesia and its involvement in the SEA-EU-NET project, the paper is adopting this idea to describe the country’s attempt at mimicking the 7th EU research framework in pursuit of a well-developed national innovation system. Evidence of such
This paper analyzes the economic diversity among East Asian countries through the channel of manufacturing industries. Using industrial data for the period 2002-2012, the presence of unconditional convergence in manufacturing is detected, suggesting its significance to the industrial divergence among these countries. The uneven manufacturing development can be explained using a version of the Heck
Den vanligaste indirekta vinstfördelningsmetoden är den så kallade genomsnittsvärdeprincipen som används för att beräkna ersättning vid tomtbildning. I vissa fall ger genomsnittsvärdeprincipen ett oskäligt resultat och ska då, enligt 5 kap. 11 § fastighetsbildningslagen, jämkas. I litteraturen framkommer det att ersättningen bör jämkas då mark frångår eller tillförs redan bebyggd fastighet - frågaThe most common indirect profit allocation method is the principle of average value which is used to calculate the compensation in plot forming. In some cases the principle of average value gives an unreasonable compensation and should in such cases be adjusted, according to the Property Formation Act ch. 5 art. 11. The literature states that the compensation should be adjusted when land is suppli
A hot topic subject in a youth's everyday life and the overall society is the rising housing prices and raised rent. It is a reality that housing shortages and high housing costs are one of today's biggest youth problems. How come that housing becomes popular in just specific areas? What is the resident's outcome of that places suddenly get a higher attraction? Gentrification is a poli
The demand for more water in the southwestern parts of the United States of America is growing due to an increasing population, while climate conditions are becoming more unfavorable with higher temperatures and less precipitation. This study explores current culinary and secondary water consumptions used for irrigation purposes in the Daybreak neighborhood, located in South Jordan, Utah. Addition
Bakgrund: Kort sömnlatens, lugn sömn samt förmågan att sova hela natten är faktorer som definierar god sömnkvalitet. Sömnstörningar drabbar en stor del av världens befolkning och ökar risken för en mängd sjukdomar som exempelvis depression, metabola sjukdomar och hjärt- kärlsjukdom. Faktorer som stress, rökning och skiftarbete har negativ påverkan på sömnen. Fysisk aktivitet och träning har enligt
