The Iron Closet has always been deep, and although never leading to Narnia it has on occasions had the potential to be a one-way ticket to a forced labour camp. After the decline of the Soviet Union, however, the Western world rejoiced; the second parenthesis had been set out and we now lived in the main narrative again where everything ought to make sense. Countries in the post-Soviet space would

Urban fires, particularly in informal settlements in rapidly urbanizing cities in the developing world, are an “everyday disaster” that oftentimes goes unnoticed or under-served in the face of disturbances of the more “lethal reputation”. These disturbances of normal existence are arguably the most debilitating to vulnerable communities and sustainable development, and yet get little attention in

Enligt lagen (2003:778) om skydd mot olyckor, LSO, har den som äger en byggnad eller bedriver verksamhet i byggnaden det yttersta ansvaret för sitt brandskydd. I skälig omfattning ska det finnas utrustning för livräddning vid brand, och i övrigt ska åtgärder vidtas för att förebygga samt begränsa skador till följd av brand. Det är kommunernas ansvar att utföra tillsyn på brandskyddet så att dettaAccording to Swedish Law (2003:778) on protection against accidents, LSO, the one who owns a building or conducts operations in a building has the ultimate responsibility of their fire protection. To a reasonable extent, there must be equipment for lifesaving in the event of a fire, as well as other measures which must be taken to prevent fire and limit damage as a result of fire. In this study, t

År 2015 samlades världens ledare och antog 17 globala hållbarhetsmål för att bidra till en social, ekonomisk och miljömässigt hållbar utveckling. De 17 globala hållbarhetsmålen utgör Agenda 2030 och ansvaret för genomförandet av agendan vilar på medlemsländernas regeringar. För att uppnå agendan måste alla sektorer engagera sig. Det innebär att kommunal räddningstjänst som är en del av den kommunaThe importance of sustainability is constantly increasing in today’s society and 2015 the United Nations adopted 17 global sustainable development goals (SDGs), summarized as the “2030 Agenda”. To achieve the 2030 Agenda all sectors must become involved which means that the Fire and Rescue Services (FRS) must contribute to this sustainability work. It is therefore important to map how the Swedish

The aim of this study is to interview social workers from different units in the social services. We have taken a starting point in a cooperation group called Rosen. Rosen is a fictitious name. We chose a fictitious name to maintain the anonymity of the two interviewees who are working in Rosen. Rosen was formed in 2011 with the aim of giving victims of domestic violence an effective support. Furt

Kenya’s rapid, unplanned urban development and rising pressure for cities to adapt to climate change and become more climate change resilient has led to the realisation that more needs to be done. In Nairobi, increasing access to mobile technology and internet access, faster internet speeds, and the growing technology sector could be possible means to facilitate urban climate change resilience (UC

International research has shown that through the involvement of the school library and the school librarian in the daily school work with the pupils, the pupil´s learning can be increased and reading comprehensions significantly improved. One purpose of this master`s thesis is to study the school librarian as a brand, representing the school library as well as the school librarian and whether th

Base cation weathering (BCw) rate is one of the most influential yet difficult to estimate parameters in the calculation of critical acid loads of nitrogen (N) and sulfur (S) deposition for terrestrial systems. Only the clay correlation-substrate method, a simple empirical model, has been used for estimating BCw rates for forest ecosystems in the conterminous USA and may not be suitable for applic

The aim of this master's thesis is to gain knowledge about users and non-users views about the public librarian profession. By interviewing users as well as non-users of public libraries we want to examine similarities and differences in views between these two groups. We also want to examine how the views of these two groups can relate to stereotypes of the public librarian identified in prev

Järnvägen utgör grunden för pendeltrafiken inom region Stockholm och störningar i järnvägstrafiken påverkar många resenärer. En vanlig orsak till störningar i järnvägstrafiken är att obehöriga personer vistas vid spåren. Mellan 2010-01-01 och 2015-05-18 har närmare 1100 händelser med obehöriga vid spår rapporterats i region Stockholm, varav drygt 80 fall resulterat i personpåkörningar med dödligt The railway constitutes the foundation of commuting in the region of Stockholm and disruptions in the railway traffic hence affects a lot of citizens. A common cause of disruptions is railroad trespassing and between 2010-01-01 and 2015-05-18 more than 1100 cases were reported in the region of Stockholm. The aim of this report is to map the grounds for railroad trespassing and to find measures to

Mental health services increasingly seek ways to implement Learning Health Systems (LHS) to enhance care quality of patients. This bachelor's thesis focuses on DIALOG+, a structured tool used in psychiatry designed for patient-centered communication. By visualizing and analysing data from DIALOG+, continuous learning can be supported within clinical settings to improve treatment and organizati

This thesis explores how young urban Chinese women construct virtual intimate relationships within the context of otome games and related practices, Cosplay commissions and role-play chatting (RPC). By combining autoethnography and semi-structured interviews, the study delves into the emotional practices and gender dynamics that emerge from players’ engagement with virtual romance and semi-virtual

This thesis quantifies how everyday window opening habits affect indoor climate and heating demand in Swedish multi-family dwellings. Minute-by-minute data was analyzed that was collected for one year from 15 dwellings in northern and southern Sweden, logging window angle, air-quality indicators and temperatures indoors and outdoors. More than 17 000 discrete airing events were detected and charac

Residential sprinkler systems have been mandatory in newly built Swedish care homes for the elderly and group homes for people with disabilities since 2012. The regulation was introduced on the assumption that sprinklers are a cost-effective life-safety measure for a highly vulnerable population. This thesis re-examines that assumption through a three-part study: (i) a review of international stud

The rapid uptake of electric vehicles presents both opportunities and challenges for modern power systems. As charging demand increases, intelligent and data-driven approaches are essential to predict and manage future grid impacts. This paper presents a probabilistic and data-driven approach for generating realistic electric vehicle charging profiles, which can be integrated into probabilistic lo
