Uppsatsen undersöker vilken bild av arbetsmarknaden som förmedlas till arbetstagare av så kallade coacher och undersöker hur bland annat psykologisering och individualisering spelar in i sammanhanget. Frågeställningen är vilken ideologi och vilka maktrelationer som förmedlas och reproduceras samt vilken diskurs de ingår i. Det empiriska materialet utgörs av två coachningsböcker riktade till arbets
Det skriftliga avtalet mellan två parter har länge verkat som garanti för upprätthållandet av den grundläggande avtalsrättsliga principen om att avtal ska hållas, både nationellt och internationellt. Men ska ett avtal alltid, under alla omständigheter, upprätthållas? Förändringar under avtalets bestånd kan göra avtalsvillkor betungande för en avtalspart. Skall en part likväl tvingas till avtalsu
Changes in the Swedish construction code introduced in 1994 enabled the construction of wooden multistorey buildings. This resulted in an increased need for knowledge about wooden structures in the building industry. The main issue in wooden framed buildings is disturbing vibrations and noise which propagate throughout the construction. It is valuable to be able to predict the behavior of future
The deployment of BIM (Building Information Modeling) in the Swedish building industry has begun. A BIM-model, briefly explained, is an object orientated 3D model that contains the available information about a building. Currently it’s mostly used for enabling a more effective collision control, quantity takeoff and production of shop and construction drawings. Thanks to its 3D nature it is easier
In order to better utilize the wind in urban areas, small-scale wind-turbines can be retro-fitted on existing buildings. However, wind-turbines are as structures very prone to oscillate. If the turbines would be mounted with a stiff connection, these vibrations would transmit to the building structure where high-frequency vibrations will transmit as structure-borne noise, and low-frequency vibrati
One of the most common types of bridges in Sweden is the integral bridge. What characterizes the integral bridge is the lack of bearings and expansion joints. The advantage of this construction is that the horizontal forces can be distributed throughout the structure. A problem is the restraint forces that occur due to, for instance, changes in temperature. Integral bridges are now often designed
In Sweden there has recently been a change in the code from the former BFS2010:2 BKR 13 to Eurocode 5. This shift has led to changes when calculating the design capacity for all materials including wood. One of the parameters that were changed was the strength of wood perpendicular to the grain. The characteristic value required was decreased from 8 MPa to 2.7 MPa which have a relativity large imp
How people walk is very individual and even their personal style of walking may change throughout their lives. But it could be that the people of the same sex with the same height, weight and age would have a way of walking with great similarities in terms of feet angle and length of the stride. This project examined the geometric walking pattern experimentally of 150 men between 170 and 190 cm. E
Preferred acoustic characteristics in a room can vary depending on the purpose of the room. A room adjusted to e.g. teaching may not be suitable for music practice and a room suitable for one type of instrument may not fit another. The judgement of what defines good and bad acoustics is subjective and differs among individuals. Practice rooms at music schools are good examples of rooms were the ac
The purpose of this Master Thesis is to observe how well the standard EN 12354, the computer program Bastian, and field measurements agree with each other. Calculations on two different objects, where one object cointained four different constructions, were compared with data from field measurments. The restrictions of EN 12354-1&2 and Bastian were evaluated from this. The areas of application
This research is based on the investigation of a Biosphere Reserve in the South of Mexico. It observes the Vision and Mission of the Biosphere Reserve Sian Ka’an in Quintana Roo Mexico based on the norms given by UNESCO’s Man And the Biosphere. It also tries to examine the Reserve’s opportunity for sustainability science to be a knowledge co-production and exchange platform. And its prospects to b
This study has been done on the Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) ‘Peace Accord’ in Bangladesh which is the policy response of government to address socioeconomic, educational and cultural rights of the indigenous people. In this context, my study illuminates on two concepts namely ‘participation’ and ‘peacebuilding’. Here, the main research question is : How far does ‘Participation’ function as an eff
A treatment model for intermediate care in child and adolescent psychiatry is described within the framework of theories, models, treatment programmes and empirical knowledge shaping its current format. Application in practice is illustrated by three case studies, which are discussed with a view to further development of the treatment model and its included interventions. Treatment results are pre
This thesis examines the independence of the UN treaty bodies, both in its entirety and the autonomy of the individual treaty body members. Since independence is very difficult to measure empirically, this paper uses the theoretical framework of Principal-Trustee theory as a tool by which the independence can be understood. This instrument allows us to examine the independence of the treaty body s
Since the collapse of the Warszawa pact Central and Eastern European countries have changed their political agenda towards Western European countries (and the EU) by showing a political will to establish a (new) society based on Western principles and values. Simultaneously the Member states of the European Union have coordinated their foreign and security policy and shown an interest in solving d
Denna uppsats består av en analys av kapitel fyra och fem i Jacobo Machovers La dinastía Castro. Los misterios y secretos de su poder, samt av en analys av min översättning av dessa kapitel. Därefter kommenterar jag min översättning, och diskuterar några centrala översättningsproblem. Främsta fokus ligger på essäns implicita argumentation, som bl.a. utgörs av citat hämtade ur Che Guevaras ideologi
Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur försäkringsvillkor ska tolkas när tvist om detta uppstår mellan försäkringstagaren och försäkringsbolaget. Det finns inget klart svar på denna fråga men en rad tolkningsmetoder har utvecklats genom praxis. Till skillnad från vid vanlig avtalstolkning har den subjektiva tolkningsmetoden inte någon framträdande betydelse vid tolkning av försäkringsvillkoThe aim of this paper is to examine how insurance provisions are to be interpreted in the event of a dispute over them arising between the insured and the insurer. There is no clear answer to this question but a number of methods for interpretation have been developed in case-law. As opposed to the traditional interpretation of contracts, the subjective method of interpretation has no important ro
Abstract In this thesis we present a method for tracking a depth sensor and building a 3D model in real-time. The tracking will be done using the current estimated 3D model. We will show that this approach gives more accurate results and is more robust than the well-known KinectFusion approach. It will also be shown how to colourise the 3D model in real-time. In this work we will study different e
