In this study, the results from simulations of two sets of a 1/2 scale ISO room (ISO 9705) experiments are presented. In the experiments, heptane in a tray was burned in the middle of the room. Five models with various levels of complexity and geometric detail are used. The comparisons between simulations and experiments show that the fourth model provides the most accurate results with deviation

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Jorderosion är ett stort problem som breder ut sig i samband med att den naturliga vegetationen avverkas. Erosion bidrar till en försämring i markkvalitet och sänker därmed markens produktionskapacitet. Sri Lanka är en världsledande exportör av te där småböndernas produktion är en viktig komponent. Teodlingen på Sri Lanka präglas av landets klimat och branta topoSoil erosion is a major problem which is expanding as the natural vegetation is replaced by cultivations. This results in land degradation which decreases the quality and fertility of the soil. Sri Lanka is world leading on the market of tea, with smallholders contributing to an important amount of the production. Tea cultivation in Sri Lanka is highly influenced by the climate and varying topogra

I våldtäktsmål utgör ofta målsägandens berättelse en stor del av bevisningen eftersom bevisning i den här typen av mål kan vara svår att få fram. Därmed blir målsägandens trovärdighet av stor betydelse för utgången i målet. Redan i NJA 1980 s. 225 slog Högsta domstolen (HD) fast att det för än fällande dom inte räcker att målsäganden är mer trovärdig än den tilltalade. Efter detta mål har praxis uIn rape cases, the victim’s story often represents a crucial part of the evidence, since it can be difficult to produce other types of evidence in such cases. Therefore, the victim’s credibility is of great significance for the outcome of a case. Already in NJA 1980 p. 225, the Supreme Court (HD) stated that in order to accomplish a conviction it is not sufficient for a victim to be more credible

This paper aims to establish to what extent a human rights-based approach could contribute to an improvement of the enforcement of the rights of children who are victims of trafficking in Nepal. A Minor Field Study based on interviews was conducted in Nepal in order to gather data about the structure of the current legal treatment of children who are victims of trafficking and to what extent poten

Buildings use approximately 40% of the total amount of the consumed energy in EU and USA. New design approaches and materials are used to reduce the energy consumption for space heating, ventilation, lightning and other domestic necessities. There is a need to investigate effect of these design features on the fire safety. Increased compartment size can contribute to the fire duration and non-unif

Changing people's attitude towards fire safety is the most important goal in this research. Looking closely how the fire safety education effects the peoples response in unannounced evacuation drill was the aim of the study. Constant changes in the process of the training made the improvements possible and weaknesses were identified. The staffs' attitude towards fire safety changed to the

This study examines possibility of positive contribution of population aging to enrolment ratios in tertiary education of 32 OECD countries from 1970 onward. It estimates an equation with fertility, life expectancy, GDP per capita, schooling age population for tertiary education and expenditures to education. In the equation, the variables reflect demand, supply and constraints on education identi

I samhället har ohälsan och sjukskrivningarna bland de anställda under de senaste åren ökat markant. Det man idag vet är att det finns en mängd olika faktorer som påverkar människan i arbetslivet. Några av dessa faktorer kan vara arbetsmängden, påverkansmöjligheter, arbetsinnehåll och den fysiska arbetsmiljön. Syftet med denna studie har varit att se om Hälsoronden och PAK enkäten visar på samma e

Syftet med denna studie var att med en enkätundersökning undersöka hur deltagare vid en arbetsmiljökartläggning och hälsoundersökning enligt Hälsospiralen, genomförd av företagshälsovården Hälsoborgen, upplever och uppfattar denna. En arbetsgrupp med 16 undersköterskor inom kommunens vård- och omsorgsförvaltning erbjöds ett år efter genomförd Hälsospiral att medverka i undersökningen. Vid studien

Since IFRS is a principle-based system of norms, there is room for interpretation. This can lead to smoothing of the company’s net profit, based on the management's subjective choice. A correlation can exist, that the scope for interpretation may lead to the manipulation of the net profit. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether listed Swedish firms use earnings management in the f

This thesis studies the subject of brand heritage by examining the two sports umbrellas of equestrianism and martial arts, seeking to build an introductory understanding of whether brand heritage can organically develop through unencumbered and independent handling and rewriting of history and myth, and through the voices of multiple authors. An analysis of documents produced throughout various d

Uppsatsen behandlar Martina Lowdens debutbok Allt och syftar till att skapa en helhetsförståelse av verket genom att belysa det som självskrivande med relation till dagboken och dagboksromanen. Samtidigt problematiseras ett sådant jag-fokuserat perspektiv genom en diskussion av bokens arbete med sampling, listor och konkretism.

Forecasts and analysis on real estate values and house prices are an ever-present problem for several different players. Often there is debate about the values of housing prices or housing bubbles in the Swedish cities. The difficulty with the valuation of housing, compared with other products, is their unique location. No housing is another comparable, and because of this there is no certain mark
