Denna uppsats är författad av Rebecca Risén vid Institutionen för kommunikation och medier på Lunds Universitet och har titeln ”Bortom kravallstaketet – en kritisk diskursanalys av mediediskursen kring maskerade demonstranter i antirasistiska och antifascistiska demonstrationer.” Uppsatsen undersöker och problematiserar hur maskerade demonstranter representeras i Aftonbladet, Sydsvenskan och Dagen

Smart specialisation (S3) policy framework, while presuming limited policy involvement during the first phases of implementation, requires higher regional management control over the processes of adaptation and monitoring. It brings up requirements for integrated methods towards monitoring and evaluation to make sure continuity and flexibility of the RIS policy framework. Introduction of monitorin

Title: Organizational and social work environment Authors: Firas Al-Ajely and Ali Reza Zarshenas Supervisor: Radhlinah Aulin, Department of Construction Engineering, Lund University Research questions: 1. What is the organizational and social work environment about? 2. Whom are covered and concerned by AFS 2015:4, which has been developed by the Swedish Work Environment Authority once it enters in

In this master's thesis a model of algorithmic trading is constructed. The model aims to create an optimal investment portfolio consisting of a risk-free asset and a risky asset. The risky asset is in the form of a stock generated using regime-switching parameters with a Markov chain explaining the state of the economy. The optimization of the portfolio is carried out under certain assumptions

The essay aims to highlight the importance of having an intersectional perspective in historical museums in Sweden, with a special focus on Kvinnohistoriska Museet in Umeå. The idea of this paper has been to highlight some of the different theories that leads to an intersectional perspective and secondly to argue that this perspective is of importance and should be a part of the national guideline

I den här C-uppsatsen i ämnet Ekonomisk historia undersöks förändringen av andelen kvinnor i bolagsstyrelser mellan år 1980 och 2015 i ett tiotal svenska storbolag verksamma inom spridda branscher. Den kvantitativa studien avseende styrelsens sammansättning bygger på information hämtad från företagens årsredovisningar. Dessutom har kvalitativa studier genomförts via halvstrukturerade intervjuer av

The purpose of this report is to investigate the collaboration and the cooperation between the Swedish municipal rescue services, the police and the emergency medical service, with the main focus on the rescue services. The result is based on a survey among the personnel working in three different geographical areas, Stockholm, Västra Götaland and Skåne. Where the result indicates it is needed, re

Recent events have shown that a fire in a boat storage facility may result in severe damages regarding health, economic values and the environment. The Swedish guidelines in this area are rather old and since the boating industry has evolved in the last decades an overhaul might be needed. This report has especially validated the recommended safety distances between groups of boats. Furthermore th

This paper has been commissioned by the County administrative board of Skåne in order to provide them with a tool to support the evaluation of individual fire rescue services, according to the requirements of law 2003:778 1 chap 1 § concerning protection against accidents. Evaluation is understandably a key element in providing a functional service with perspective to enhance the abilities of the

Community radio as an alternative public sphere for minorities has emerged apart from mainstream media and formal public spheres. In particular, its ethos of understanding community participation as a key component of operating a station highlights its potential to empower community members as active social agents. This study examines the social consequences of an ethnic migrant community radio st

The aim of this thesis has been to develop a deeper understanding of the security or insecurity students at Lund University essentially seem to experience on and around campus area. But the thesis has a deeper purpose, which is to let the paper culminate in a discussion on how security or insecurity can generate a deeper understanding of fear. This thesis assumes an abductive approach, which made

The purpose of this study is to examine the political debate about integration and so called ”simple jobs” in Sweden.A main point is also to examine how institutional racism is reproduced in the discourses that dominate the debate. The initial interest of the subject is the strong linkage between social integration and labour that often is taken for granted in the debate. The empirical material co

This report is an aid in making decisions for the location of fire stations. Using multi criteria decision making the report presents a model for choosing the best available location for hosting a fire station. The model gives the decision makers the opportunity to choose from more criteria than the traditional response time. The model can be applied in any fire station locational decision regardl

The CFD-program Fire Dynamics Simulator 5, FDS5, can model flame spread. This report studies if flame spread modeling can be used for creating a design fire when using performance-based fire safety design of a building. From cone calorimeter data the computer program Gpyro was used to determine input parameters for FDS5 for five different wood materials. The input parameters were then evaluated in

Elevators has for a long period of time been regarded as unsafe to use as a means of egress. This is an opinion that has shifted in the last couple of years as technical solutions has been found to the initial problems when using elevators as an escape route. This report investigates the possibility to replace a staircase with emergency elevators as a means of egress in a buildning. The report als

The purpose of this work was to find a scientific and comparable way to measure the heat release of materials with low heat release rate. The work focused on ISO 5660 and the cone calorimeter and how to improve this method and equipment. By conducting a series of tests in the cone calorimeter and vary the size of the cone calorimeter and the test specimen and the distance between the test specimen

Fire fighters in Sweden claimed that helmets used as protective gear during exercises melted because of the thermal heat exposure. According to European certification methods helmets are tested towards thermal radiation to ensure that the protective gear still meets the regulations. This report has evaluated if the certification methods are adequate for a Swedish fire fighter´s environment and whi

Likt andra komplexa, flercelliga organismer, består den mänskliga kroppen av en mängd olika organ ämnade för olika uppgifter. För att kunna utföra dessa uppgifter är organen uppbyggda av olika sorters celler, med speciell funktion och struktur. Trots de stora skillnaderna mellan dessa celltyper delar de samma genetiska ritning, organismens genom. Genomet är indelat i olika gener, vilka beskriverMaintenance of stem cell pluripotency and the differentiation of stem cells into specialised cells has been studied extensively. More recently, the possibility for a specialised cell to be transferred into a state of induced pluripotency has been demonstrated and investigated. Critical components of the gene regulatory networks governing these processes have been identified, but a complete model h

The primary concern of this study was to analyze how the Japanese print media portray modern-day public intellectuals, and subsequently treat them as legitimate or illegitimate. Furthermore, I examined the underlying factors that affect this portrayal. After selecting four case studies of present-day public figures/groups (Murakami Haruki, Miyazaki Hayao, Chim↑Pom and Aida Makoto), I collected pri

The aim of this thesis is to investigate the following: − The influence of incident angle and frequency dependency of a ceiling absorber on room acoustic descriptors − How ceiling absorber properties influence room acoustic descriptors such as reverberation time and steady state sound pressure level − Whether steady state sound pressure level is more related to the statistical absorption coeffici
