Simulering kan förbättra hanteringen av järnvägsstörningar Förseningar i järnvägssystemet kostar årligen såväl industrin som samhället miljardbelopp. Därför är det viktigt att minimera tiden som ett tåg står stilla efter en störning, som till exempel ett kontaktledningsbrott eller en personpåkörning. I examensarbetet presenteras en simuleringsmodell som kan användas som ett verktyg för att hitta

Furthermore, it assessed if rejection sensitivity, populism and social capital moderated this effect, and whether these variables are intercorrelated. The participants were asked to read an article describing the proposal

Det relativt sparsamma utbudet av ordoviciska blottningar i Fågelsångsdalen, Skåne, krävde en borrkärna för att lära mer om lagerföljden. Borrkärnan har, under arbetet med denna rapport, studerats och dokumenterats litologiskt, litostratigrafiskt och till viss grad paleontologiskt. Fågelsångskärnan-2 består av mörka skiffrar avsatta i relativt djup marin miljö med rikt innehåll av bland annat grap

I Sverige råder sedan en tid tillbaka en debatt kring huruvida ett könsneutralt ord bör användas för att undvika benämning av kön i diverse sammanhang. Syftet med denna undersökning var att utvärdera hur ordet hen bedöms i rekryteringssammanhang, i jämförelse med den sökande. Studien genomfördes med en kvantitativ undersökning i form av en experimentell design. 160 deltagare fick läsa en av två jo

Sverige är ett land med många deponier som har skiftande föroreningsnivåer. Deponin i Getabjär har tidigare klassats som riskklass 3, måttlig risk. Mycket till stor del eftersom den damm som samlar upp dess lakvatten ansetts tät och säker. På senare år har dock lakvattendammens täthet ifrågasatts vilket har lett till denna miljögeologiska undersökning. Området framför lakvattendammen och omgivning

Considerable economic as well as environmental benefits can be achieved when appropriate industrial waste management is implemented. The objective of this study was to find a method of organizing a waste management system and of obtaining an overview of the whole system. The method proposed emphasizes the optimization of waste management with regard to energy, economy and environmental impact in s

There are many empirical studies that reject the forecasting power of the uncovered interest rate parity condition. This might be due to different reasons, of which one often stated is the existence of a risk premium. In this paper three versions of the conventional UIP model are tested in order to investigate which one that generates the best predictions on the future spot rate. One model without

This paper is partially a literature study of human error and interruptions and partially an investigation of pilots and Air Traffic Control. The aim of the investigation was to find out where interruptions occur and how to reduce or eliminate them. The objective of this paper was to investigate what type of interruptions pilots and ATC deals with and during which phases they occur. The paper has
