Utrymning i sjukhus ställer speciella krav på brandsystem och byggnader då sjukhus ofta är stora och komplexa byggnader med många människor med olika förutsättningar. Där befinner sig personer i alla åldrar, personer med diverse nedsatt rörlighetsförmåga samt nedsövda personer som behöver assistans av anställda för att kunna utrymma byggnaden. Patienter som behöver assistans vid transport kan ta eEmergency evacuation in hospitals sets special demands on fire protection systems and the construction of the building since hospitals often are large and complex buildings. People and patients of all ages, with reduced mobility, and anesthetized people who are not capable to evacuate without assistance are often present. The procedure of evacuating a hospital is therefore not an easy task. The pu

The aim of this study has been to shed light on former criminals' experiences of their own reintegration into society, and to gain a better insight of how social services and probation services has played a part in that process. The study is based on eight semi structured interviews with former criminals’ who are currently active in the organisation KRIS. In order to analyze our empirical mate

Exchange Traded Funds are known as a relatively recent financial innovation and have been gaining investors' interest in recent years. The performance of ETF in comparison to other benchmarks is still the central concern when investors make an investment decision. This thesis conducts empirical studies in the US market, using the Mean-Variance portfolio optimization, to construct optimal portf

The purpose of the study has been to examine how people on the three most popular dating sites for young adults in Sweden are presenting themselves in the digital landscape. People can present themselves in many ways and this study has mainly focused on the visual presentation. It has reviewed to what extent young adults emphasize their bodies on different dating sites. The study has reviewed a to

Care is a fundamental need to all human children, in all cultures and through all of human existence. While child care is universal, its practices are cultural-specific. Inspired by this cultural differentiation, this study explores the universal social phenomenon of human child care in an evolutionary, historical and cultural perspective in a theoretical framework of feminist anthropology and the

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and an increasing demand for distributed work, virtual teams emerge in workplaces at an increased rate. A common factor of performance in virtual teams are the levels of trust, which is tightly interlinked with both communication and leadership. Researchers are looking for new ways of looking at virtual leadership, and some have begun looking at virtual worlds for insp

Digital financial services have long been known as key tools in increasing women's financial inclusion, independence, and social mobility. However, the exact method in how these services should be most effectively deployed is still up for debate. Women have continuously been excluded from the financial sector, in large part due to restrictive cultural and gender norms inhibiting their independ

Background One of Alfa Laval’s factories in Lund, LA, has noticed that up to 50% of all order proposals suggested by their ERP system JEEVES is considered to be irrelevant and are subsequently disregarded by the purchasers. Consequently, many purchasers disregard the parameters in JEEVES that control what proposals get suggested and instead order on “gut-feeling” and personal experience. Not only

The influence of one’s cultural orientation, particularly through Hofstede’s (1980; 2001) Individualism-Collectivism dimension, on entrepreneurs and planning within new ventures is an underexplored field in entrepreneurial research, specifically among cultural minorities. This study aims to understand the Individualism-Collectivism orientation of urban Indigenous Australian entrepreneurs based in

Supramolecular chemistry is a field in which noncovalent interactions between molecules are utilised to promote the formation of larger molecular assemblies. A single monomer consisting of a bicyclo[3.3.1]nonane backbone equipped with hydrogen bonding motifs and solubilising groups is synthesised. Utilisation of different hydrogen bonding motifs and appropriate solvent renders self-aggregation of

Synthesis of nanoparticles with high control of the particle composition, high purity and high throughput is of great interest for multiple applications such as catalysis, medicine, energy storage, sensoring, and electronics. As an alternative method to the traditionally used chemical synthesis routes, gas-phase methods have gained attention due to the avoidance of solvents resulting in higher pur

In Sweden social services has the overall responsibility for its youth within their municipality. Moreover, social workers have a responsibility to conduct an inquiry if there are suspicions of a youth getting harmed or harming oneself. The inquiry carries an exercise of power and authority since it can lead to the youth getting placed outside of the home. Within the Swedish historical context of

Military vehicles typically send out radar signals in order to detect their surroundings. Using an Electromagnetic Support Measures receiver, these can be detected and it is of interest to be able to classify them in order to identify the vehicle and type of radar. Although there already exists multiple methods to do this, it is of interest to automatize and speed up the process of classification

Atomically thin two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors like transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) monolayers have garnered significant interest in the recent past due to their extraordinary opto-electronic properties, along with the possibility to seamlessly stack these layers into atomically precise van der Waals heterostructures. Type-II 2D semiconductor heterostructures show photoinduced interlaye

In 2017 the Upper Secondary School Act [Hereafter gymnasielag/en] was adopted in Sweden and provided temporary residence permits and a chance of permanent residency to ‘unaccompanied refugee minors’ who previously had been denied asylum. This study includes voices of four young people who have managed to fulfil this journey from temporary permits to permanent. Moreover, three people who through va

The Brazilian economy is now financialized, where the finance sector and its priorities have become increasingly dominant in all aspects of the economy. At the same time, the country has been facing extremely high levels of inequality and is currently the 8th most unequal country in the world. This thesis aims to analyze the associations between the process of financialization and inequality trend

Skyddsrum ska tillgodose civilbefolkningens behov av fysiskt skydd vid väpnat angrepp. Det har inte byggts några nya skyddsrum sedan 2002 men befolkningen har ökat. Totalförsvarsplaneringen har återupptagits med anledning av att den säkerhetspolitiska situationen i Europa har förändrats. Ett väpnat angrepp mot Sverige kan inte uteslutas. Av 3 kap. 9 § MB framgår att de prioriterade områdena för dThe purpose of shelters is to provide protection to the civilian population in case of war. Any new shelters have not been built in Sweden since 2002 but the population has increased. The national defense planning has been resumed because of changes in the security policy situation Europe. War against Sweden cannot be ruled out. According to the 3rd chapter 9 § The Swedish Environmental Code (MB)

The main purpose of this Bachelor thesis is to study Mesolithic fur-game hunting and how it changed over time. New influences can change an economy rapidly, for example the fur trade during the seventeenth century in North America. In three Danish late-Mesolithic settlements Agernæs, Ringkloster and Tybrind Vig excavations has yielded evidence for largescale hunting of Pine marten. Is it possible

This thesis tries to answer the question of how to properly trade on an intermittent market using a theoretical storage and estimates attainable profit of such a setup. This have been done through evaluating different storage alternatives, analyzing market trends, investigating associated costs for the operation and simulating possible outcomes. Trading with certain rules, an algorithm has been de
