This study has investigated the usage of rescue chambers as an alternative to additional egress paths. The new underground facilities at CERN that are planned as a part of the HL-LHC project have two proposed designs with rescue chambers or additional egress paths. This report consists of two parts, a case study of the proposed designs for CERN and a literature review on rescue chambers. The resul

My purpose with my study is to find out how an evidence-based social service effects the discretion of today social worker. The empirical material of my study consists of five semi-structured interviews with five social workers in the southern part of Sweden. I have analyzed the empirical material with Michael Lipsky theories of street-level bureaucracy and discretion. I have deepened Lipsky´s the
Irresponsible Business Practices (IBPs) form the counterpart of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). While the latter represents a very popular field of research, IBPs are still under- researched especially when both factors are put into context. In the furniture retail industry, IBPs are a rather recent subject in production process and supplier relationships. As the purpose of CSR is not to co
The purpose of the study is to find out linkages between NGO’s accountability towards its bene-ficiaries and its financial independence. The paper is highly empirical and draws on the experi-ence gained from a case study of an NGO in Georgia. It provides the illustration of how the quali-ty of NGOs work (which primarily targets the beneficiary population) is damaged by financial dependency on dono

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning I dagens samhälle används diverse katalysatorer i många sammanhang för att påskynda kemiska reaktioner. Allt från produktion av ammoniak till rening av avgaser hjälps av olika katalysatorer. De katalysatorer som vi känner idag har tagits fram genom att testa olika materialkombinationer och utvecklingen har börjat stagnera. Enzymerna i våra kroppar är naturliga kA new instrument for near ambient x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy investigations of surfaces has been installed at beamline I511 of the MAX-II electron storage ring at the MAX IV Laboratory. This high pressure x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy instrument is capable of surface chemistry investigations in near ambient pressures using x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), a technique that tradition
The recently increased scholarly interest in pseudo script has opened a somewhat new avenue within traditional Egyptological studies, offering a deeper insight into marking systems which traditionally are not included within the boundaries of established written languages and/or iconographical representation. Thus, in addition to studying the rich and well preserved demotic and Greek inscriptions
