The purpose of this report was to compile the current knowledge regarding design and function of evacuation signage and evacuation lighting in road and railway tunnels. Another purpose was to shed light on any issues in the aforementioned regulations and standards. This was done by conducting two study visits, a literature review, an interview study and an analysis. To ensure that evacuation is i

Predictive archaeological modelling is a complex analytical process that requires the understanding of how complex environmental and anthropogenic spatial phenomena relate to the selection of archaeological site location and knowledge of the requirements and potential biases inherent in the method of modelling and the raw data itself. This paper aims to demonstrate the utility of the weights of ev

This thesis tries to answer how acts of homemaking can manifest with regard to four young adults in an urban environment. The paper takes a closer look at how the material takes form to create meaningful and concrete ways of navigating an uncertain landscape of adulthood in Stockholm, Sweden. Through the understandings of material culture made possible by Daniel Miller, Anat Hecht, Bodil Birkebæk

Blood tests are an important part of modern medicine, and are essentially always stained using chemical colorization methods before analysis by computational or manual methods. The staining process allows different parts of blood cells to be discerned that would be unnoticeable in unstained blood. However, this process is complicated to perform correctly and often takes much time. It often require

Though the Treasury stated that leaving the EU would lead to high economic costs for the UK, people still voted to leave. Since the referendum was held, many researchers have tried to explain what factors influenced the outcome of the vote. The aim of this dissertation is to further contribute to the existing research. This will be done by analysing variables based on demographic, as well as econ

MÅL. För att svara på hur psykodynamisk psykoterapi av posttraumatiskt stressyndrom upplevdes bland flyktingar analyserades och jämfördes deras erfarenheter av grupp- och individuell psykoterapi. METOD. 10 tidigare patienter från en öppenvårdsmottagning specialiserad på behandling av patienter med erfarenheter av migration, krig och tortyr rekryterades till studien. 5 patienter hade gått i psykoanOBJECTIVE. How is psychodynamic psychotherapy experienced by refugees with posttraumatic stress disorder? To answer this, patients’ experiences of group and individual psychotherapy were analyzed and compared. METHOD. Semi-structured interviews were carried out with 10 former patients at a Swedish outpatient clinic specialized in the treatment of patients with experiences of migration, war, and to

Den 1 juni 2016 införde Finansinspektionen ett amorteringskrav i Sverige med målsättningen att bromsa skuldsättningen för svenska hushåll och än idag är effekterna av amorteringskravet ett väl omdiskuterat ämne bland forskare. Denna studie undersöker de effekter som amorteringskravet haft på bostadsrättspriserna i Malmö kommun, för att sedan särskilja på om effekterna ter sig olika beroende på om

Sexual violence is ubiquitous. It occurs everywhere. Due to the very nature of sex crimes, however, victim-survivors from sexual violence are much more vulnerable from ‘secondary victimization’ which is also known as ‘post crime victimization’ or ‘double victimization.’ Given that people get common knowledge on human rights issues from newspapers, in particular online articles today, I focused on

In brain connectivity research the relative phase between two EEG oscillations is particularly relevant, as it could provide information about the conduction delay between two regions. However, due to EEG signals containing large amounts of noise and spurious connections, the relative phase is seldom estimated. The aim of this thesis is to explore the possibilities of estimating relative phase usi

Ett utökat engagemang kring hållbara frågor och investeringar har drivit med sig en ökning av hållbara fonder. Tidigare forskning där jämförelser gjorts mellan miljöfonder, hållbara fonder och traditionella fonder har visat olika resultat i vilken kategori som presterar bäst utifrån avkastning och risk. På grund av ett lågt antal hållbara fonder och framför allt miljöfonder i flera av de tidigare

In this thesis model predictive control (MPC) is used to dynamically optimize a portfolio where data is sampled at the closing price. Previous research has shown that MPC optimization applied on financial data can yield a portfolio that exceeds the value of traditional portfolio strategies. MPC has also been observed having computational advantages when return forecasts are updated when a new obs
