In order to classify a crime involving a fire, a fire-technical assessment that describes what damage the fire could have caused from a fire expert is needed. In Sweden, there are no rules how these assessments should be executed or who is considered competent enough to establish them, but there are guidelines. The conclusions of the expert opinion have a direct impact on how the crime is classifi

The high surface-to-volume ratio of nanoparticles (NPs) makes them an interesting source for scientific research. How interfacial energies interplay between such a small structure and a solid bulk surface, are important because of the versatile applications NPs regard. In this thesis, a convenient and reliable method for interfacial energy determination was investigated. The interfacial energies

Genomdrivandet av den immateriella skyddslagstiftningen är av största vikt för den inre marknaden. Såväl EU som medlemsstaterna har därför ambitiös skyddslagstiftning. I gällande rätt finns såväl straffrättsliga som civilrättsliga sanktioner. För rättighetshavare betraktas rätten till skadestånd som den mest centrala sanktionen. Denna uppsats syftar till att analysera gällande rätt, närmare bestThe means of enforcing intellectual property rights are considered paramount for the success of the internal market of the European Union. Hence, both the Union and its member states have ambitious regulations in place to protect intellectual property and to enforce such protection. The regulation consists of both criminal law and civil law sanctions; however, the most essential means of enforceme

Version 3 av ecoinvent är den första databasen att erbjuda möjligheten att koppla samman livscykelinventeringar (LCI) utefter olika länkningsalgoritmer. Genom dessa länkningsalgoritmer tar ecoinvent nu fram bakgrundslivscykelinventeringar med både medeldata och långsiktig marginaldata (t.ex. över elmarknader i olika länder). Idealt sett representerar långsiktig marginaldata över elmarknader den ytVersion 3 of the ecoinvent database is the first background database to offer the possibility to link life cycle inventories (LCI) according to different linking algorithms. Using those algorithms, ecoinvent now provides both average and long-term, marginal background LCI data, (e.g. for electricity markets for different countries). Long-term, marginal data for electricity markets ideally represen

In this study I address the phenomenon of precarious labour among young knowledge- and cultural workers in southern Scandinavia. Based on seven semi-structured interviews I investigate how precarious labour can be perceived as a liminal state of in-betweenness and ambiguity, which affects the individual in different areas of life. By causing a constant sense of temporality the effects span financi

Detektering och igenkänning av hjärtslag med radar och maskininlärning. Att använda sitt egna hjärtslag för att kunna identifiera sig med kommer helt och hållet förändra sättet vi ser på biometrisk identifiering. Med hjälp av en radar med millimeter-stora vågor kan vi idag mäta otroligt små avståndsförändringar, och tillsammans med maskininlärning kan vi använda detta för att mäta hjärtslagets uniPresence detectors based on different technologies have been around for many years now, with a constant expansion of situation implementations. In this thesis, an overview of the capabilities of different types of presence detectors has been done and the radar technology have been further investigated. A 60 GHz pulsed coherent radar has been used to measure the limits of the radar sensor’s distanc

För att minska miljöpåverkan och minimera exploateringen av de begränsade tillgångar som finns så krävs en övergång till cirkulär ekonomi. Det innebär minskad materialkonsumtion och mer återanvändning och återvinning av plast och andra material. Förra året producerades i världen 359 millioner ton plast och av det insamlade avfallet i Europa blev endast en tred-jedel återvunnet. Bland de fem mest pTo reduce the environmental impact and minimize the exploitation of the depleting re-sources, the transition to a circular economy is vital. It proposes an economy of reduced ma-terial consumption and increased reuse and recycling of plastics and other materials. Only last year, 359 million tonnes of plastic were produced worldwide and only a third of the col-lected waste in Europe was recycled. A

Syftet är att undersöka på vilket sätt hållbarhetsrapporteringen har utvecklats av det förändrade lagkravet inom den svenska klädindustrin. Följaktligen undersöka på vilket sätt hållbarhetsrapporteringen kan förbättras och vilka brister som kvarstår. Metoden grundades i en kvalitativ och kvantitativ undersökning genom en innehållsanalys. Innehållsanalysen hade utgångspunkt i CONI-modellen som är

The right to health for persons with disabilities in the global South is far from being realized. The 2011 World Report on Disability suggests that the majority of persons with disabilities live in low- and middle-income countries. Further studies suggest that around 80% of persons with disabilities in global South countries report poor health. With this in mind, this thesis will focus on the righ

This Bachelor’s thesis examines how Malmö Stad’s organization works with questions of culture (music, art, dance, etc.) and participation. It gives an insight into various policy documents and how they are displayed in three case studies regarding cultural operators in the subgenre. Through the theories of Mary Douglas (1966), John Clarke (2008) and Chris Shore & Susan Wright (1997, 2011) amon

Accidents occur in the society daily which require the fire service to respond. The fires cause socio-economic cost estimated to the equivalent value of 7 billion SEK every year. One of the strategies used by the municipalities to reduce the effects of the accidents is to investigate the fires to be able to prevent similar fires in the future. Recent research suggests that the investigations needs

Teachers in Sweden are instructed not just to teach their subject but also fundamental values. However, educators are given no guidelines as to how to do this. It therefore becomes relevant to research how language teachers can use literary works in school to ensure that students acquire knowledge about themes found in the curriculum, thus combining an important part from the subject’s contents wi

Vindkraftverk är ett av samhällets främsta verktyg för en miljövänlig energiproduktion. Den konventionella designen av bladen är emellertid i stort sett oförändrad. Triblade är ny typ av design som har potentialen att revolutionera marknaden. Genom att använda en fackverksstruktur öppnar man för möjligheten att utforska andra materialval än de konventionella kol- och glasfibermaterial som anväIn the 21st century, wind power has emerged as a strong candidate in fulfilling societies goals of achieving carbon-free energy energy production. Windpower has evolved along with other technological developments, giving rise to larger turbines, but with the overall design trend remaining largely unchanged. Winfoor, a Swedish company based in Lund,aims to break that trend. With their new Triblade

In Rev.IV:137, Christ told St. Birgitta that pilgrims to Vadstena could receive the same plenary indulgence as the one granted to the church San Pietro in Vincoli in Rome. The privilege was highly disputed, but in Vadstena the pilgrims crowded anyway on the feast of St. Peter in Chains on August 1, a feast where the deliverance from the captivity of sin was pivotal. This study is based on extant s

This thesis explores the aesthetic language of natural history collecting in relation to art, by analyzing Kristoffer Palmgren’s bioart piece Superman in a semiotic and discourse analytic context. The artwork itself consists of eight molded fists, overgrown by microbes taken from wild trees. The fists are individually encased in glass boxes that are placed on top of one another. This presentation

By analysing three different works of transformative literature, this thesis aims to explore the different ways in which power may express itself in the context of literature. Wide Sargasso Sea, Circe and Hag-Seed are three novels that, while remaining similar in that they are rewrites of canonised literature such as Jane Eyre, The Odyssey, and The Tempest, are different enough to provide a wide a
