The aim of this thesis has been to develop a deeper understanding of the security or insecurity students at Lund University essentially seem to experience on and around campus area. But the thesis has a deeper purpose, which is to let the paper culminate in a discussion on how security or insecurity can generate a deeper understanding of fear. This thesis assumes an abductive approach, which made

The purpose of this study is to examine the political debate about integration and so called ”simple jobs” in Sweden.A main point is also to examine how institutional racism is reproduced in the discourses that dominate the debate. The initial interest of the subject is the strong linkage between social integration and labour that often is taken for granted in the debate. The empirical material co

This report is an aid in making decisions for the location of fire stations. Using multi criteria decision making the report presents a model for choosing the best available location for hosting a fire station. The model gives the decision makers the opportunity to choose from more criteria than the traditional response time. The model can be applied in any fire station locational decision regardl

The CFD-program Fire Dynamics Simulator 5, FDS5, can model flame spread. This report studies if flame spread modeling can be used for creating a design fire when using performance-based fire safety design of a building. From cone calorimeter data the computer program Gpyro was used to determine input parameters for FDS5 for five different wood materials. The input parameters were then evaluated in

Elevators has for a long period of time been regarded as unsafe to use as a means of egress. This is an opinion that has shifted in the last couple of years as technical solutions has been found to the initial problems when using elevators as an escape route. This report investigates the possibility to replace a staircase with emergency elevators as a means of egress in a buildning. The report als

The purpose of this work was to find a scientific and comparable way to measure the heat release of materials with low heat release rate. The work focused on ISO 5660 and the cone calorimeter and how to improve this method and equipment. By conducting a series of tests in the cone calorimeter and vary the size of the cone calorimeter and the test specimen and the distance between the test specimen

Fire fighters in Sweden claimed that helmets used as protective gear during exercises melted because of the thermal heat exposure. According to European certification methods helmets are tested towards thermal radiation to ensure that the protective gear still meets the regulations. This report has evaluated if the certification methods are adequate for a Swedish fire fighter´s environment and whi

Likt andra komplexa, flercelliga organismer, består den mänskliga kroppen av en mängd olika organ ämnade för olika uppgifter. För att kunna utföra dessa uppgifter är organen uppbyggda av olika sorters celler, med speciell funktion och struktur. Trots de stora skillnaderna mellan dessa celltyper delar de samma genetiska ritning, organismens genom. Genomet är indelat i olika gener, vilka beskriverMaintenance of stem cell pluripotency and the differentiation of stem cells into specialised cells has been studied extensively. More recently, the possibility for a specialised cell to be transferred into a state of induced pluripotency has been demonstrated and investigated. Critical components of the gene regulatory networks governing these processes have been identified, but a complete model h

The primary concern of this study was to analyze how the Japanese print media portray modern-day public intellectuals, and subsequently treat them as legitimate or illegitimate. Furthermore, I examined the underlying factors that affect this portrayal. After selecting four case studies of present-day public figures/groups (Murakami Haruki, Miyazaki Hayao, Chim↑Pom and Aida Makoto), I collected pri

The aim of this thesis is to investigate the following: − The influence of incident angle and frequency dependency of a ceiling absorber on room acoustic descriptors − How ceiling absorber properties influence room acoustic descriptors such as reverberation time and steady state sound pressure level − Whether steady state sound pressure level is more related to the statistical absorption coeffici

Offentliga myndigheter och enheter får beakta sociala hänsyn vid offentliga upphandlingar, men har ett begränsat handlingsutrymme. Rättsutvecklingen har de senaste 15 åren gått mot mer och mer handlingsfrihet för den upphandlare som vill beakta sociala hänsyn. Detta aktualiserar vissa frågor kring för- och nackdelar med möjligheten att beakta sociala hänsyn. Syftet med denna uppsats är att utreda Public authorities and units are allowed to consider social concerns during public procurements, but have limited room for maneuver. The legal developments during the last 15 years have gone towards more and more freedom for the procurer who wishes to consider social concerns. This makes certain questions regarding pros and cons relevant. The purpose of this paper is to explore these and reason ab

Den ekonomiska brottsligheten har fått en allt mer markant roll i dagens rättssamhälle. Brottslighet som förövas inom bolag blir allt mer av ett samhällsproblem, inte minst när det gäller brottslighet i organiserad form. Av allt större vikt blir då hur man ställer de personer som begår brott inom ett bolag till ansvar för sina gärningar. Utifrån detta syfte har principen om företagaransvar tillkEconomic crime has played an increasingly significant role in our modern society. Crime perpetrated within companies are becoming more of a social problem, not least when it comes to organized crime. It has become of greater importance, how to hold the persons who commit crimes within a company accountable for their deeds. Based on this purpose, certain principles for criminal responsibility with

I Sverige har särkullbarn en rätt att få ut sitt arv efter en förälder direkt efter förälderns bortgång. Samtidigt kan man i Sverige inte göra sina bröstarvingar arvlösa, utan ett barn har alltid rätt till sin laglott. Möjligheten att göra sina barn arvlösa ges inte heller genom testamenten eller gåvor. I Sverige har vi ett förstärkt laglottsskydd som fångar upp de fall olovliga överföringar av egIn Sweden, children from a previous relationship has a right to receive their inheritance from a parent directly after the parent's death. At the same time, is it not possible to make your children disinherited in Sweden. The opportunity to make your children disinherited is neither possible through gifts or will. In Sweden, we have a protection of the lawful share that captures illegal transf

Responsibility to protect är en princip som för första gången formades år 2001 av International Commission on Intervention and State Sovereignty. Sedan dess har principen utvecklats stegvis genom olika handlingar och dokument vilka varit påverkade av mellanstatliga relationer och av de uppkomna händelser där mänskliga rättigheter stått på spel. Syftet med detta arbete har varit att försöka klargöThe responsibility to protect is a principle formulated in 2001 by the International Commission on Intervention and State Sovereignty. Since then, it has gradually been developed on the basis of different acts and documents that were influenced by inter-state relations and the agreements concerning human rights. This thesis attempts to explain what the responsibility to protect actually implies a

Idrottsrörelsen är i dag Sveriges största folkrörelse och idrotten är världen över en angelägenhet för väldigt många människor. Idrottsrörelsen har en lång tradition av autonomi och självbestämmande, som tillsammans med en tilltagande kommersialisering har förstärkts av ett stort användande av skiljeavtal och egna skiljenämnder. Detta har gett upphov till frågan när allmänna domstolar egentligen bToday, the sports movement is the largest social movement in Sweden, and sports are a matter for many people all around the world. The Swedish sports movement has enjoyed a sense of autonomy and independence during a long period of time, and this order has been enhanced due to an increased extent of commercialisation, together with a vast use of arbitration agreements and own arbitration panels.

The preparatory work concerning the reform holds numerous of guidelines for the definition of the child’s perspective. The foundation of the concept is the respect of the child’s full human dignity

Enligt gällande svensk rätt föreligger det ingen allmän skyldighet för gemene man att hjälpa en person i nöd. Frågan kring huruvida vi borde införa en civilkuragelag har varit omdiskuterad länge och det är inte omöjligt att vi får en lagändring inom kommande decennier. Från den allmänna regeln om att inte behöva hjälpa en nödställd finns det emellertid undantag. Om man underlåter att anmäla en pAccording to Swedish law, there is no duty that obligates an individual to aid or protect another person who is in peril. Nevertheless, the question of whether we ought to introduce a law of civil courage has been discussed and there is a possibility that the law will be amended in the coming decades. There are, nonetheless, exceptions to the rule of not being obligated to aid or protect a perso

The paper starts by introducing the meaning of the word honour and honour-related violence. In short, the definition of the word honour in this context refers to the value of the family seen through your own and others eyes. If a family member (usual

Den 2 december 2016 firar den svenska tryckfriheten 250 år. Tryckfrihetens första halvsekel var en turbulent tid då inte mindre än fem olika tryckfrihetsförordningar infördes. Denna uppsats undersöker perioden 1766-1812 ur ett rättshistoriskt perspektiv med frågeställningar kring vilken historisk och idémässig kontext som låg till grund för förändringarna. Detta görs med fokus på den värdsliga cenThe Swedish freedom of the press celebrates its 250th anniversary on December 2, 2016. Its first half-century was however a turbulent time when no less than five different acts on the freedom of the press were introduced between 1766 and 1812.

Hållbar utveckling, som i svensk rätt används synonymt med det internationella begreppet CSR, bygger i grunden på fyra områden: mänskliga rättigheter, miljö, arbetsrätt och anti-korruption. Regeringskansliet publicerade år 2013 publikationen ”Hållbart företagande – Plattform för svenskt agerande” i syfte att fastställa hur svensk rätt ser på begreppet hållbar utveckling, vilka värderingar och hur Sustainable development, as in Swedish law is used synonymously with the international term CSR, is essentially based on four areas: human rights, environmental, labour and anti-corruption. The Swedish Government Offices published in year 2013 the publication "Sustainable business - Platform for Swedish action", in order to determine how the Swedish law looks at the concept of sustainabl
