En 200 år gammal skånelänga uppnår 2000-talets energikrav Detta arbete redovisar hur konstruktionsförbättringar på en gammal skånelänga kan förbättra husets boendestandard samt att huset tack vare förbättringarna uppfyller dagens krav ur energisynpunkt. Detta utförs utan att inskränka på dess arkitektoniska ursprung. Vi har tagit fram lösningar för huset som förbättrar grunden väggarna och vi

This thesis is about how nationalism is constructed from two competing groups, Kosovo Albanian and Serbs. Kosovo for Serbs is a deep symbolic value that continues to be a Serbian identification. This is one of the main reasons why no Serbian politician has the courage to give it up. On the other side of the coin we have the Kosovo Albanians that only settles for independence. To recognize the inde

Our purpose with this study was to look at the connection between social capital and integration. Particularly if meetings between people from different cultures can increase social capital and in that way affect integration. We start by identifying the social integration perspective we are going to use through out the study and then we introduce social capital theory as a way of narrowing down th

The European Union's long-term budget negotiations during the summer of 2005 were obstructed from being successful due to a quite fierceful debate about the future guidelines of the Common Agricultural Policy. A quarrel about money and who gets what, was the common answer as to why it took the European leaders six months to accept the budget, and quite rightfully. This essay, however, goes ben

Denna uppsats kommer att fokusera kring en teori, stipulationsteorin, för identifikation över möjliga världar. Stipulationsteorin gör att vi kan veta vilka möjligheter vi pratar om. Genom att stipulera möjligheter så kan man identifiera vilka individer och vilka egenskaper dessa individer har i de möjligheter vi pratar om. En teoris ramverk är det som definierar vad teorin refererar till samt vad

Denna examensrapport redogör för hur man kan få en kortslutningsskyddad och säker inkoppling av en DC-länk mellan två skiljda elektriska system. Rapporten bygger på hur en lastbil ska kunna få en större säkerhet för att bibehålla sina elektriska bromsar om tex ett av bromssystemen tappar sin ordinarie matning. Lastbilens bromssystem består idag av två skiljda elektriska system med ett 24 vol

During the last decade working with competence has emerged as a more strategically important area. Today the human resources in a company are considered a competitive advance and the HR-units play a significant role when it comes to HR-management. Different motives for investing in strategies that promote competence development and learning also exist. The purpose of this paper was to examine how

Tidigare forskning har koncentrerat sig på hur man korrigerar sina åsikter om utgrupper för att inte verka fördomsfull. Vi har istället valt att se om det finns någon skillnad mellan hur svenskar bedömer sin egen ingrupp i närvaro av antingen en ingruppsmedlem (svensk) eller en utgruppsmedlem (utländsk). I studien deltog 120 personer från Lunds Universitet, Malmö Högskola och Malmö Stadsbibliotek

Den här uppsatsen skrevs för att belysa de hinder som kan uppstå när man som musiker tar sig an nutida musik, i detta fall japansk sådan. Den inriktning som arbetet tagit är hur man genom att förändra notbilden kan komma närmare musikens kärna, samt göra instuderingen så effektiv som möjligt under en relativt kort tid. För att nå de resultat jag gjort har jag använt mig av två informanter som arbe

Title: Creativity and blockings: Non-musicians? experiences of music making The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the ability of music-making can benefit from and/or be inhibited by extra-musical factors, such as one's own or other people's opinions, criticism, prejudice and values. An experiment was carried out, where 10 nonmusicians were instructed to solve a compositional

Since my experience is that teachers in singing hardly ever talk about when to sing a tone, I have chosen to examine this fact through interviews and earlier research in this matter. The interviewed singing teachers belong to different genres (classical music, pop/rock, jazz and folk music). I asked them to share their thoughts about the word timing, when it comes to music. I also wanted to know i

Vårt examensarbete gick ut på att skapa en prototyp på en applikation till Team Sportia, Hässleholm, som skulle underlätta garantiregistering vid cykelförsäljning. Den skulle göra sökning och sammställning av information från en Oracle-produktdatabas och en IBM-kunddatabas. Informationen skulle sedan skrivas ut som ett garantikvitto samtidigt som den skulle sparas i en Oracle- eller IBM-databas.

Syftet med uppsatsen är att försöka förstå varför mentala problem vid ett framträdande i sång uppkommer samt att hitta lösningar till dessa. Bakgrunden till att jag vill skriva om detta är att jag under praktiker och arbeten med sångelever märkt att just mentala problem ofta hindrar människor från att bland annat framträda inför en publik. Dessutom känner jag mig själv hindrad av denna typ av prob

This report contains CFD-simulations of cable tray fires in nuclear power plant applications with the CFD-code SMAFS. Furthermore the report evaluates the use of CFD-codes within this kind of problems. The assessment of this report is that there is a tendency towards the good use of CFD-codes but before using it solely more research has to be done on the subject.

The aim of the research was to explore for possible effects of cultural dimensions on people's perceptions and feelings of their work situation. A phenomenological approach was followed, in which the participants answered an open-ended question about their work situation and the responses were analyzed with MCA-Minerva where the individual's life-worlds were made visible and discussed. Fou
