När EKS 11 publicerades blev det krav på att i Br0-byggnader göra en särskild bedömning av byggnadsdelars skyddsbehov med avseende på deras bärförmåga vid brand för att avgöra om det föreligger ett utökat skyddsbehov för byggnadsdelarna. I de fall där det föreligger ett utökat skyddsbehov ökar de brandtekniska kraven som ställs på byggnadsdelarna, medan i de fall där det inte föreligger ett utökatThe aim of this thesis is to investigate which factors that should be taken into consideration in the assessment of extended fire safety for building components in building class Br0. Problem areas have been identified through a literature study in this field. To solve the identified problems, interviews have been carried out with the National board of Housing, Building and Planning (Boverket) and

The impact natural catastrophes have on society has become increasingly costly in recent years. This has led to a higher need for financing, which has historically been provided by (re)insurance companies.

Säkra analysmetoder hindrar HIV att sprida sig via bloddonationer Det finns idag 38 miljoner människor i värden som lever med HIV-1, och varje dag smittas ytterligare 5000. För att kontrollera att bloddonationer inte innehåller HIV krävs känsliga och säkra analysmetoder. Mitt arbete bidrar till att utveckla en ny analysmetod på Octapharma AB som säkerställer att plasman som används för att framstäThe major problem when developing primers and probe sets for detection of HIV-1 is its high genetic variability and strong ability to mutate. HIV-1 is divided into four groups, M, N, O, P based on genetic similarities, and there are more than 70 different circulating recombinant forms. The aim of this master thesis was to develop new primers and probe for a novel quantitative PCR analysis method f

This paper investigates whether the forecasting performance of Bayesian factor-augmented VAR (BFAVAR) models can be improved by incorporating an informative prior on the steady-state of the time series in the system. The BFAVAR model is compared to the extended steady-state BFAVAR in an application to forecasting Swedish inflation, making use of data from 1996 to 2016. Results show that the out-of

Möjligt miljö- och hälsofarliga ämnen i smink PFAS är samlingsnamnet på en stor grupp icke-naturliga fluorbaserade ämnen som bland annat fick stor uppmärksamhet när dricksvattnet i Kallinge visade sig vara starkt förorenat. På grund av sina användbara egenskaper används ämnena i en stor mängd produkter, både i hemmet och inom industrin. Samtidigt har forskning visat att flera PFAS är giftiga och Poly- or perfluorinated alkylated substances (PFAS) have characteristics of being temperature resistant and film-forming as well as being both water-, dirt and fatretardant. These substances are used both industrially and in consumer products like cosmetics, simultaneously the detected levels of PFAS are rising in the Swedish environment and there is concern since several PFAS are toxic, bioaccumu

This paper uses a recently developed methodology to investigate the spatial and temporal diffusion patterns of a shock to the regional house markets in Sweden. We model the change in regional house prices such that they are allowed to be contemporaneously affected by price changes in the dominant region – Stockholm - as well as being allowed to be subject to a cointegrated relationship with its ne

Despite this, studies show that a gender unequal treatment of families who seek asylum in Sweden does exists. The aim of this ess
