Today, the knowledge about ice forces in Sweden is uncertain. Certain guidelines have been developed according to RIDAS to determine ice forces when constructing dams, piers etc. In this thesis an environmental model has been developed to predict thermal ice pressures. The inputs for the model are; a) the mean daily air temperature for each day of the year; b) the snow cover depth. The mean daily
Drinking water is the most important part of our food that we need in everyday life. It is estimated that over one million permanent residents and nearly as many second homes in Sweden uses its own well as the only source of drinking water supply. For example we can point to Landskrona municipality in the south of Sweden where there are about one thousand households that use their drinking water f
The reliability of energy supply is crucial for the well-being of individuals and the prosperityof countries. At the same time, energy production is closely connected to CO2 emissions,which is believed to have an important impact on human-induced global warming. In light ofresultant, partly counteracting challenges, energy efficiency has gained increasing attention as ameans of ensuring energy sup
Ensuring energy security, eradicating energy poverty, and reducing GHG emissions from the energy sector are some of the key reasons why energy efficiency will be addressed in the Ukraine. The residential sector, being among the major energy consumers in the national economy, has a large energy saving potential. Multi-storey residential buildings currently require general refurbishment, and this fa
Title: Music experiences - An essay about the composer’s ability to communicate experiences with music.

In the last decade, news reports about an overall doomed brick-and-mortar retail landscape have grown. The field of commerce has experienced a digital boom, causing an increased shift of businesses from traditional brick-and-mortar retail to the internet. This structural transformation is changing the commercial landscape, putting serious pressure on city centre retail and urban development. Store
The digital technology has in a short time led to dramatic developments in today's society as the majority of crimes today have taken a new form on social media. The dominant crimes on Facebook and Instagram have mainly shown to be illegal threats,harassment and sexual harassment among young women which only about four percent are solved and while the rest of the reports are dropped. The probl
Produktionen av kemikalier på Perstorp AB genererar kontaminerat avloppsvatten som renas i industriparkens egna avloppsreningsverk innan de kan återanvändas till processen igen. Industriparken i Perstorp har villkor från avloppsreningsverket på hur mycket vatten som fabrikerna får släppa ut till avloppsreningsverket. Det finns fortfarande kapacitet kvar innan villkoret uppnås, men marginalerna serThe production of chemicals at Perstorp AB generates contaminated wastewater that is treated in the industrial park’s own sewage treatment plant before it can be reused in the process again. The industrial park has conditions from the sewage treatment plant on how much water the factories may discharge. There is capacity left before the condition is reached, but the margins look to decrease in the
The following report is an evaluation of the fire safety at Skoklosters castle south of Uppsala. The aim of the evaluation is to review whether the available time for evacuating the people inside the building in case of fire is enough. The castle, built during the 17th century, consists of four floors as well as a cellar and attic and is considered a museum due to its historic value. A risk analys
Thesis purpose: The purpose of this study is to gain knowledge about baby boomers’ motivations for using either digital or analogue touchpoints in the high involvement customer journey. This ultimately contributes to an increased understanding of the high involvement customer journey. Methodology: A qualitative study with social constructionism as the research philosophy, where an abductive appro
Infiltration är en av polisens spaningsmetoder och inträffar när en polis eller en civil, på uppdrag av polisen, tar sig in i en kriminell verksamhet i syfte att skaffa information om eller avslöja brott. Lagregleringen och kontrollfunktioner av infiltration är bristfällig och infiltration kan därför skapa risker för rättssäkerheten i en rättsstat. Centralt för bedömningen är Peczeniks definition
The curtain is a decorative object with at lot of additional functions. We wanted to work with the curtain and our goal was to make people see it with new eyes. We decided to try to raise the value of the curtain by giving the user an excuse to interact with it; through storage. The starting point of the project was a theme we call forgotten rooms and rejected items. To us this talks about how we
In this thesis, Photon Time-of-Flight Spectroscopy (PTOFS) is presented as a method to measure absorption and scattering spectra of turbid media samples in the near infra red wavelength range. In particular, absorption and scattering spectra measured on pharmaceutical tablets and dairy products are used to analyse the composition of the samples. In PTOFS, a temporally short pulse of a specific wav
Det övergripande syftet med uppsatsen är att utreda hur fåmansföretagsreglerna förhåller sig till de krav som finns för reglerna i form av neutralitet och prevention mot inkomstomvandling. I syftet så ingår att ge en historisk överblick över hur förhållningen har förändrats över tid. Det är uteslutande reglerna om utdelning som är föremål för granskning i uppsatsen. I januari 2014 började den senThe purpose of this paper is to investigate the relation between the rules regarding close companies and the demands for neutrality and prevention of income shifting. Furthermore, the purpose is to give an historical overview of how the relation has changed over time. More specifically, the rules regarding dividend allowance are in focus. The most recent changes to the regulation on close held co
The topic of this master thesis is cooperative robots. The master and slave configuration is to be used for cooperative tasks and the task chosen is to move a flexible beam together. A trajectory is fed to the master robot to move it to the desired positions. The slave robot then follows the movement of the master robot by force control using force measurements from a force sensor. All experiments
The aviation industry is a contributor to the global greenhouse gas emissions. Moving away from fossil-based fuels has proven to be more difficult than expected. One possibility for the aviation industry is the development of sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs), produced from renewable sources such as biomass and waste. Certain problems have been discovered with using SAFs, however. The fuels are us
