The main purpose of this study was to identify aspects of municipal risk and vulnerability analyses that are of importance to the perceived usability at a regional level. The first part of the study aimed to encode the content of municipal risk and vulnerability analyses from the counties of Scania and Stockholm. The results were then correlated against rankings of the analyses established by the

This thesis compares the 1970 River Laxá dispute in Skútustaðahreppur, Iceland with perspectives towards the proposed Bjarnarflag geothermal power station in the same region 43 years later. The events in 1970 have been called the first act of environmental protection in Iceland. The study concentrates on power relations through Foucault´s theory of Régime of Truth and Alf Hornborg´s theory on the

Colombia is the country with the highest number of internally displaced people worldwide. Rural populations often flee violence provoked by the armed conflict. Also so called “development projects” when multinational corporations invest in infrastructure, usually affect local communities. The World Bank provides an Operational Manual (4.12) for “development induced resettlement” to prevent impover

Popular science: Find a suitable area for rainwater harvesting Rainwater harvesting is a technique to capture and store rainfall where it falls. The technique of water harvesting can be used for different purposes, e.g providing irrigation water, drinking water, increase groundwater recharge, and reduce flood risk. The application of rainwater harvesting is suitable in arid and semi-arid areas, w

Studiens syfte var att undersöka om det fanns någon skillnad mellan en grupp patienter med schizofrenidiagnos och en jämförelsegrupp bestående av personal från en akutpsykosavdelning när det gäller mentaliseringsförmåga. Mentaliseringsförmågan skattades med instrumentet ”Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test (RMET)”. Den ursprungliga planen var att konsekutivt rekrytera samtliga patienter till studien

Läkemedelsanvändningen ökar för varje år (Apoteket AB 2005) och år 2011 hämtade två tredjedelar av Sveriges befolkning ut ett eller flera receptbelagda läkemedel (Socialstyrelsen 2012). Vid användning av läkemedel tar kroppen vanligtvis inte upp all aktiv substans och rester utsöndras i framförallt urin och hamnar i avloppsvattnet (Wahlberg et al. 2010). Dagens avloppsreningsverk har ingen specielAn inevitable consequence of human drug use is that drug remains end up in sewage water. The sewage treatment plants today are not designed to reduce that kind of chemicals which means that many drugs just pass through unchanged or just modified. These remains affect for example animal life such as behavioral changes or feminization of fish in the recipient. The fact that drug residues already hav

Lithography technique is highly dependent on the photoresist that is used for the processing of the nanodevices. S1800 series photoresist is probably the most used positive photoresist for UV-lithography process. In this project the electrical and optical properties of the photoresist S1800 are studied in order to find if photoresist could be used as a transparent insulator for photo detectors/sol

Syftet med denna uppsats är att ge en grundläggande överblick över materiell- och processuellrättsliga överväganden som aktualiseras vid en ansökan om civilprocessuella säkerhetsåtgärder inom ramen för ett aktieägaravtalsförhållande. Målet är att illustrera den praktiska tillämpningen och funktionen av civilprocessuella säkerhetsåtgärder i en situation där en aktieägaravtalspart hotas av kontraktsThe purpose of this thesis is to give a general view over the procedural and material considerations that arise at the application for precautionary or interim measures in the context of shareholders agreements, according to Swedish law and jurisprudential doctrine. The objective is to illustrate the possibility, function and application of precautionary and interim measures in a situation where a

This paper will examine information structure used in Modern Hebrew, a Semitic language spoken in Israel. More specifically, the study will look into the methods used by Modern Hebrew native speakers to differentiate between old (active) information and new information in spontaneous speech. The study will offer new insights to different constructions of information structure, relating to active a

To evaluate the efficiency of the previous years or to set visible plan in different aspects for the upcoming years in higher institutions studying students’ time to degree is important. Since logistic regression is a method used to predict a dependent categorical outcome or predict the probability of an event occurrence, studying Students’ time to degree using logistic regression is a reasonable

Utvecklingen inom området för jämställdhet- och antidiskrimineringsarbete på arbetsmarknaden har under de senaste åren varit mycket intensiv. Från de vid Romfördraget allmänna skydden mot könsdiskriminering har bestämmelserna utvidgats till att gälla en lång rad faktorer och preferenser. Efter Amsterdamfördragets ikraftträdande tillkom bl.a. skydden mot åldersdiskriminering genom det år 2000 publi

2005 släppte Förenta Nationernas folkrättskommission rapporten "Fragmentation of International Law: Difficulties arising from the diversification and expansion of International Law". Även om fragmenteringen av folkrätten hade varit ett diskussionsämne långt före 2005 fick rapporten verkligen debatten ta fart och fragmentering att bli en av de mest omdebatterade frågorna under senare år bIn 2005 the United Nations International Law Commission released the report Fragmentation of International Law: Difficulties arising from the diversification and expansion of International Law. Although fragmentation of international law had been a topic of discussion long before 2005 the report really made the debate take off, becoming one of the most debated issues in recent years among internat

Omvandlingsmineralogi typiskt för Svartliden Studien behandlar Svartliden, som är en gruva i norra Sverige nära Skelleftefältet. Den ligger i "Guldlinjen", som är en tektonisk zon med guldmineraliseringar. Svartlidengruvan upptäcktes av amatörgeologer, som letade efter stenblock med låga sulfidhalter. Så gjorde man inte vid malmletning i Skelleftefältet. Där letade man efter block med höThe alteration mineralogy of Svartliden, Sweden Svartliden mine is an open pit in northern Sweden close to the Skellefte field in the “Gold Line”, which is a zone associated with gold mineralization. Svartliden gold mine was discovered by amateur geologists who were prospecting after boulders that contained low sulphide contented. This was unusual for the Skellefte field. The main rocks are meta-

For three decades, food supply in Cuban cities was dependent on oil from the Soviet Union. Then the socialist bloc collapsed, oil supply ceased, and an urban agricultural movement brought vegetable production into the cities. – Today, the need for low-carbon energy transitions is increasingly recognised globally. This thesis examines energy transitions based on the Cuban urban agricultural experie

The thesis about progressive collapse in precast concrete structures started because of the construction industry which has a new standard to internationalize the industry. The new standard is called Eurocode and requires houses that have more than five floors to have vertical bindings Problems have been discovered when a supporting wall gets knocked out for an unknown reason, such as a gas explos

The main scope of this thesis is to have a strong tool for a preliminar design and sizing of an axial compressor in a bi-dimensional way, this means that all the parameters are referred to the hub, to the midspan and to the tip of the blade. This goal has been reached improving a pre existent MatlabTM code based on a monodimensional design. The developed code, using different swirl law, allow to u

I denna uppsats har jag undersökt vad Hans-Thies Lehmanns studie Postdramatic Theatre inneburit för det västerländska teatersammanhanget, samt varför den fått större uppmärksamhet än den postmoderna teorin. Jag har med hjälp av kritikerna Elinor Fuchs och Catherine Bouko konstaterat att det finns en rad problem med Lehmanns teori, som att den är otydligt definierad och att den utesluter samhälleli
