Domain decomposition methods can be used to numerically solve partial differential equations for certain problems, for example in cases where the domain has an irregular shape, or if there are differences in material constants. By splitting the domain into subdomains, these problems can be solved using domain decomposition methods. In this thesis, the topic is solving the steady-state heat equatio

Följande projekt utfördes med anledning till att utvärdera och validera den nuvarande brandsäkerheten på Stockholms Centralstation. Detta gjordes i huvudsak med avseende på personsäkerheten, alltså behandlar inte rapporten egendomsskada samt ekonomiska förluster. Eftersom Stockholms Centralstation är en högst avancerad byggnad med högt personantal begränsades projektets omfattning en aning. Störst

Discussions on issues of marriage squeeze which resulting from the gender demographic imbalance has a long history in China. However, since the advent of 21st century, much media attention has shifted to an emerging phenomenon: highly educated, urban career women are at the forefront of a trend of un-marrying or delaying marriage. Labeled “leftover women” (shengnv), they are perceived less marriag

Beräkningsmodeller för konsumtionsbaserade utsläpp, vad är vitsen? Julia Nordström i juni 2018 År 2015 skrev Sverige tillsammans med andra nationer under det internationella klimatavtalet - Parisavtalet. För att nå de mål som Parisavtalet satt upp måste de globala utsläppen av växthusgaser minska drastiskt de kommande åren. Sverige är ett av de mest framstående länderna i världen när det kommer tIn recent years, it has become increasingly recognized that the traditional production-based methods for calculations of greenhouse gas emissions have shortcomings. This is justified by the fact that such inventories only include emissions that occur within a particular geographical area. As major emissions also arise as a result of imports of goods and services and from international travel, such

About 96% of hydrogen is produced via chemical processes from fossil material globally and just 4% is obtained from environmentally friendly sources. Caldicellulosiruptor species are good candidates for hydrogen production via dark fermentation from a variety of substrates. They therefore provide a great opportunity to be used as decomposers of organic waste, lignocellulosic material and municipal

A criminal lifestyle from within The aim of this study was to create an understanding of earlier offenders. Specifically the aim has been to examine the life of offenders from their childhood to today on how they see themselves on their earlier criminal life. The selection of people who participated in the study was people who previously had a criminal lifestyle. We have taken a qualitative appro

This essay investigates how new innovations are introduced and implemented in the transportation system, and serves to illustrate this through a case study of Skånetrafiken and its plans to integrate mobility services. Mobility stands at the precipice of structural changes which will effectively challenge the social position of the car as the most common and self-evident choice of transportation.

The purpose of this study was to examine teachers perspective on the mental ill-health among children between the ages 10 and 15. To examine this we conducted five interviews with five school employees by using semi-structured interviews. We analyzed the interviews by using theories focusing on accomplishments and individualization. The results points towards that children between the ages 10 and

Since the 1970s, the practice of conscripting, enlisting or recruiting children into armed groups or forces has become increasingly common, and many children are used for various tasks in conflicts around the globe. Children are easily persuaded or forced into such armed groups or forces, and they suffer great harm from exposure to violence. Girls are generally recruited in the same manner as boys

Identity and being sami - a qualitative content analysis of sami people's stories about identity The aim of this study has been to analyze sami people’s stories about identity in Samefolket journal. Our intent was to find out if historical events was being portrated in their stories and to analyze what is including or excluding for sami identity. By doing a content analysis of 14 articles we

The aim of this study was to examine how death and mourning is portrayed in children’s books used in social work. A selection of five books, all written relatively recently and originating from Western European countries, was made based on advice from a hospital library, an important resource for medical social workers. These books were analyzed using content analysis, where we searched for themes

In the face of climate change wind energy plays an increasing role in Norway. The construction of new wind farms causes opposition and conflicts with, among others, Sámi reindeer herders who are concerned about losing their pastures. By using Schlosberg’s (2004) environmental justice framework, I explore the justice implications of wind energy with regard to Sámi reindeer husbandry in the case of

The old observatory in Lund is a building which is protected by Kulturmiljölagen. The building has been empty for nearly 20 years and is in desperate need of renovation because of its poor condition and doesn´t live up to modern requirement for fire safety and accessibility. The municipality of Lund request suggestions for a new function for the observatory with related changes which could be acce

In recent years the Swedish construction sector has enjoyed a literal building boom. This is the culmination of a growing population and lack of housing, construction is at its highest level in decades. Swedish contractors are simply not meeting the demand and numerous analysts have warned against the consequences of a crash in the construction sector. Industry interest organizations have suggeste

In today’s modern city planning are the so-called detailed development plans used for deciding how a specific area is supposed to be used and for what purpose. A problem which is occurring from time to time, is that some detailed development plans are not coming up as it was thought they would. Often it is seen that areas have more dwelling, parking space and in some cases big super markets than w

Global warming is a fact and everything indicates that the warming will continue in the next decades and affect the climate for hundreds of years to come. The climate risks that threaten the Earth globally are flooding, earthquakes, warmer climate, stronger winds, and increased risk for landslides. The climate changes will also affect Helsingborg and therefore the city needs to increase its abilit

This thesis explores the roles of Internet memes as a form of contemporary political discourse in Indonesia from the individual perspective of audience members. In-depth qualitative interviews with fourteen Indonesian young adults were conducted to understand the ways in which they engage and create meaning of political memes, allowing for a closer examination on the media’s potential for contribu

Det finns idag många olika lösningar för att mäta fluidflöden. För att uppnå hög precision i mätningarna blir sensorernas tillverkningskostnad ofta hög och deras principer är generellt baserade på avancerad teori. I det här examensarbetet undersöks en ny mätprincip, baserad på konceptet för en vanlig rotameter. Den nya mätprincipen använder en solenoid för att skapa ett magnetiskt fält som håller Fluid flow measurement is a task for which many different solutions exist. For high precision sensors the production cost is high and measurement principle is generally based on advanced theory. In this thesis a new principle of fluid flow measurement, based on the concept of a conventional rotameter, is investigated. The new principle uses a solenoid to create a magnetic field to maintain a float

Sammandrag Denna uppsats har sin utgångspunkt i min översättning av ett kapitel ur en nutida spansk filosofisk och populärvetenskaplig bok, El valor de educar av Fernando Savater (1997). Syftet med uppsatsen har varit att undersöka om textens komplexa karaktär och dess informationstäthet skulle kunna överföras till en svensk måltext som är idiomatisk och som samtidigt bevarar motsvarande innehåll
