When designing concrete structures, there are great demands made on quality and service life of the construction, and for this the size of concrete cover is crucial. The concrete cover protects the reinforcement bars from carburization and from infiltration of chlorides, which make them corrode. When using today’s codes while designing, a thick concrete cover will yield a large crack width, which

This thesis is a critical examination of the notion of an entry point to the labor market through a temporary work agency. By exploring the experience, content and consequences of temporary agency work I have investigated how power relations within the contemporary work life are articulated. Temporary agency work is portrayed as a labor market entry point for groups in risk of exclusion, such as i

This study examines the extent to which American actors influenced domestic mobilization during the Orange Revolution in Ukraine between the years 2004 2005. This studies’ analysis focuses on how external support, from the United States, interacted with domestic political and social conditions during the revolution. Using qualitative methods, this study investigates the roles of US actors, lik

The purpose of this study is to develop an in-depth understanding of middle managers’ sensemaking processes during planned organizational change by examining their use of metaphors, and to analyze how these metaphors influence their role in between strategic intent and organizational practice. Adhering to the interpretive research tradition, the study follows an abductive, qualitative single-case

Since 2003, Kamikatsu in Japan has established a sustainable zero-waste practice that has achieved a recycling rate exceeding 80%. By exploring how the community has shaped itself around the zero-waste concept, this paper aims to enhance our understanding of zero waste in practice from a universal design perspective. Interviews and photo documentation were used to gather data.

This study adds to the research within the theories of Securitization and the Communicational Revolution, while focusing on a combination of the two for establishing and examine a securitization process of the Communicational Revolution within the Swedish Armed Forces. The studied case consists of four security reports written by the Swedish Defense Preparation, which are gathered from the Swedish

This paper is a master's thesis by Erik Kivilo and Carl Olofsson at the Faculty of Engineering (LTH) at Lund University. The research and writing took place during the fall of 2014 under the supervision of Magnus Wiktorsson at the Division of Mathematical Statistics at Lund University, and Per Thastrom at EY, Copenhagen. The thesis concerns prudent valuation of fair-valued nancial instruments

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been increasingly recognized as a key enabler in discovering scientific knowledge. Due to the current momentum, researchers from various fields try to incorporate AI to their research work. However, research to be truly identified as scientific research it requires to bring in new knowledge adhering to a scientific method. This study attempts to explore how AI affe

Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is the major absorber of sunlight in most natural waters and a critical component of the carbon cycle in aquatic systems. The photochemical decomposition of DOM can have a significant impact on the landscape-atmosphere carbon exchange. However, little is known about how changing characteristics of DOM due to water browning (allochthonous inputs of DOM from terrestria

Treatment with the probiotic bacterium Lactobacillus reuteri has been shown to prevent dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced colitis in rats. This is partly due to reduced P-selectin-dependent leukocyte-and platelet-endothelial cell interactions, however, the mechanism behind this protective effect is still unknown. In the present study a combination of culture dependent and molecular based T-RFLP

Abstracts The purpose of this paper is to examine if the Swedish discourse concerning FGM/C can be seen as a link in the shaping of ones own identity. To investigate if this is the case I have used critical discourse analysis influenced by Norman Faircloughs three-dimensional model. I’ve also used postcolonial feminism as a kind of lens through which I’ve looked at the discourse. The discourse in

This thesis examines why forward integration into hospitality remains a selective rather than widespread strategy in the alcohol industry. While strategic theory suggests that owning the point of consumption can strengthen brand control and reduce coordination risk, most alcohol producers continue to rely on third-party venues. This study explores why that gap exists. Drawing on transaction cost e

One recurrent narrative in the discussion about managerial public sector reforms is the growth in organizational professionals as a response to new accountability regimes. New Zealand has experienced modest growth rates in the general public sector workforce. Less studied, though, is whether the composition of the public sector workforce has changed, with an increase in organizational functions su

The Northern high latitudes are warming twice as fast as the global average, and permafrost has become vulnerable to thaw. Changes to the environment during thaw leads to shifts in microbial communities and their associated functions, such as greenhouse gas emissions.
