The aim of this study was to examine what junior and intermediate level school teachers con-sider to be their responsibility in regards to actively paying attention to children who are vic-tims of domestic physical and/or psychological violence. The approach of the study was quali-tative with semi-structured interviews. Five junior and intermediate level school teachers from two different schools
I dagsläget utförs fullskaliga kapacitetsprov på sprinkleranläggningar med syfte att undersöka om erforderligt tryck och flöde kan erhållas i händelse av brand. Fullskaliga kapacitetsprov är däremot relaterade till risker som lågt tryck i vattenledningsnät, blödning på gjutjärnsrör, översvämning av lågt belägna områden och tryckslag i rör. I detta arbete undersöks om reducerade kapacitetsprov sammTo this date, full-scale capacity tests are performed in sprinkler facilities in order to investigate if sufficient pressure and flow can be achieved in case of fire. Full-scale capacity tests may, however, cause problems such as low pressure in pipes, scaling of pipe walls, flooding of low topography areas, and water hammer. This report intends to research whether reduced capacity tests together
Popular Abstract in Swedish Företag konkurrerar med varandra i strävan efter att nå den högsta lönsamheten. En mängd frågor måste tas under övervägande för att nå ett sådant mål - beslut angående produkter, marknader, kunder och, ej att förglömma, organisation måste fattas. När det gäller organisation kan ett företag välja mellan att själv göra en särskild produkt och att köpa den från ett annat f
Innovation and industrial dynamics have grown in importance over the last 40-50 years as we have moved towards a more knowledge intensive society. In an effort to understand these developments in society new research fields have emerged such as innovation and entrepreneurship studies. In general, these two research fields are regarded as rather closely interlinked. In this study we elaborate on th
This article is based on a study of the sailing event America’s Cup in Malmö in the late summer of 2005. It serves the purpose of exemplifying a project of urban governance. Urban governance means that municipalities are engaged in implementing different strategies in order to strengthen their own position in the competition between cities and regions. The article’s main theme is the relation betw
Information security is vital to organizations. This is particularly evident in healthcare where patient information is regarded as very sensitive. The patient is the most important actor in healthcare, and therefore patient information must be kept secure from breaches. At the same time, the right information must be available at the right time when needed in order to provide patients with the be
A Swedish submarine often operates in colder waters, resulting in a cold on-board climate and a low temperature in the batteries. The batteries reaches their maximum capacity when they are at a temperature of 30°C, which they rarely are during the winter months when the temperature often is lower than 7°C. The diesel engines are producing a significant amount of waste heat that is just dispersed i
Problem discussion: To be more competitive, Trading Area Wood is working on developing their suppliers in efficiency projects. However, they find it hard to motivate their suppliers to take part in the projects. Therefore, they need a way to show the suppliers the positive effects of participating in the efficiency projects. Moreover, Trading Area Wood has troubles to predict the economical outcom
Hälften av Afrikas befolkning - mer än 300 miljoner människor - hotas idag av markförstöring och ökenspridning. De flesta forskare är överens om att markförstöring orsakas av mänsklig aktivitet som avsiktligt eller oavsiktligt rubbar balansen i redan känsliga ekosystem. Namibia det torraste landet söder om Sahara, vilket följaktligen gjort att landet är mycket utsatt för ökenspridning och markförsHalf of Africa’s population - more than 300 million people - is threatened by land degradation. In general, land degradation is initiated when people intentionally or accidentally disturb the balance in a already fragile ecosystem. Poor management practices such as overgrazing, puts pressure on land already close to exceed the limits of sustainability. Besides suffering from overgrazing issues, Na
Chapter 1 defines the aim of the project and gives a general orientation about ground heat extractors. In chapter 2 physical processes that could be expected to be involved in the heat transport around a ground heat exchanger are discussed. It is shown from a literature study what amount of moisture transport due to thermal gradients there could be expected in a ground heat exchanger. The conclusi
Följande studie handlar om hur lärare genomför bedömning på gymnasieskolor med och utan körprofil i kursen Ensemble med körsång (Skolverket, 2010a). Nyfikenheten kring ämnet tar utgångspunkt från vår gemensamma körbakgrund och upplevelsen om att många musiklärare uttrycker en viss svårighet med att bedöma elever inom körsång. Syftet för studien blir således att undersöka lärares tillvägagångssätt The following study explores how teachers conduct assessment in Swedish upper secondary schools with and without a choir profile in the course Ensemble with Choral Singing (Skolverket, 2010a). The curiosity about the subject is based on our background in choral singing and that our perception is that the experience amongst many music teachers is that there is a certain difficulty in assessing stud
Core elements of countries’ clean energy industry success, as well as low-carbon economic development, have attracted various levels of interest from countries around the world. This thesis is based on an analysis of the EU Critical Raw Materials Act. With regard, it gives the background of what the regulation is about and its rationale. In a critical way, it has analyzed some elements of the chal
Nowadays, archaeological museums are open to innovation with an ever-changing character in order to remain relevant to contemporary museology in terms of dissemination of knowledge. In that spirit, digital technologies have been used systematically by museums in an effort to move beyond their ocular-centric nature, resulting in the integration of multisensory practices within the exhibition space.
Today, more and more consumers are asking brands to take a stand on socio-political issues in order to generate a values-based connection with consumers. However, most previous research has focused only on individual brand activism, with little attention paid to co-branding brand activism. Through the co-branding case of Dove and The Body Shop, this study aims to understand how Dove framed its col
Digitaliseringen har ökat konkurrensrättsliga utmaningarna på digitala marknader. Digitala plattformars missbruk av dominerande ställning har gett upphov till nya konkurrensrättsliga problem exempelvis i samband med användning av andra plattformarnas kunddata och jämförelsetjänster. Syftet med uppsatsen är att analysera och beskriva några av de konkurrensrättsliga utmaningarna i form av missbruk aDigitalisation has increased the competition law challenges in digital markets. The abuse of a dominant position by digital platforms has created new competition law problems, related to for example the usage of other platforms data and comparison services. The purpose of the thesis is to analyze and describe some of the competition law challenges in the form of abuse of a dominant position that i
This Master Thesis was performed for Sandvik SRP in collaboration with the Institution for Industrial Production Faculty of Engineering at Lund University. Tool wear is one of the main cost drivers in the mining industry. By being able to characterize what kind of rock involved, you can choose a more beneficial tool material to minimize the wear and thereby reduce the maintenance costs. The purpos
The aim of this thesis is to explore the relative importance of the eight psychological Active Innovation Resistance (AIR) barriers, from the new typology of AIR barriers developed from Talke and Heidenreich in 2014, on the consumer’s intention to adopt or buy circular fashion products. Moreover, this thesis examines whether the socio-demographic factors of age, employment status, and educational
Uppsatsens syfte är att undersöka hur transformativa verk behandlas inom den svenska upphovsrätten. I centrum för informationssamhället uppenbarar sig en grundläggande motsättning mellan å ena sidan internetkulturens kultur av fri tillgång, spridning och användning, å andra sidan upphovsrättens över- gripande mål att skydda och kontrollera spridningen och användningen av upphovsrättsskyddade verk.The purpose of the essay is to examine how transformative works are treated within Swedish copyright law. At the center of the information society, a fun- damental contradiction emerges between, on the one hand, the Internet cul- ture's stamp of free access, dissemination and use, and on the other hand, cop- yright's overarching goal of protecting and controlling the dissemination and use
Humanitära interventioner, alltså militära ingripanden i en stat utan dess samtycke för att skydda befolkningens mänskliga rättigheter, har under de senaste årtiondena varit omdiskuterade. Interventionernas förespråkare menar att vi alla har en moralisk skyldighet att hjälpa människor i nöd. De som är kritiska till interventionerna menar att dessa innebär en kränkning av en av folkrättens hörnstenHumanitarian interventions, that is to say military interventions in a state, without its permission, to protect the population’s human rights, have during the past decades been controversial. The advocates of the interventions regard it as everyone’s duty to help humans in need. The interventions’ critics argue that the interventions are a violation of one cornerstone of the international law, th
