The main purpose of this report is to evaluate whether the person safety is adequate in case of a fire at Stockholmsmässan. Stockholmsmässan is an exhibition hall in Älvsjö that covers 220 000 m2. It has a lot of different arrangements such as exhibitions, recordings for TV-shows and conferences. By showing that it is possible to evacuate everyone in the building without a risk of serious injuries

This thesis investigates occupant evacuation in basement carparks. The thesis aims to develop a calculation model to determine the probability of different number of doors to fire-isolated stairs being open simultaneously during an evacuation scenario. Research is done on previous studies of occupant evacuation, including the pre-evacuation and evacuation phase, which is the base for a conceptual

The starting point of this project was to find a way to transfer Chinese traditional culture into modern product. After pre-stage research about combining Chinese elements with products, I found a very interesting phenomenon of Latticed window, which brought me to another perception. I found out that people always ignore the subtle changes in daily life. These changes influence the relationship am

Strike-slip faults pose significant earthquake hazards in many populated areas and therefore information about their general behavior is needed in order to attempt to predict future earthquakes. Much of this information is acquired using paleoseismic techniques, which focus on analyzing past earthquakes. These include measurement of displacements of either geomorphic features or beds across faults

The fall of state socialism brought major social and political changes in all the countries that belonged to the Eastern Bloc. The most significant demographic transformations during the transition period were the decreasing fertility rates, the decline in marriages, the rise in cohabitation and the shift from traditional birth control methods towards effective contraception. This thesis tries to

What could be considered an adequate level of daylight in buildings has become a debated question in the Swedish building industry. The current daylight requirements are often found difficult to meet in practice, especially in combination with other requirements regarding energy use. Outdated daylight requirements in the national building code combined with limited knowledge about the subjective i

Projektformen som länge varit en utbredd verksamhetsform inom exempelvis byggindustrin har kommit att bli allt vanligare även i arbetet med sociala frågor. Resursteam Heder är ett ettårigt projekt som arbetar förebyggande mot hedersrelaterat våld och förtryck. Projektets syfte är både att vara ett metodstöd till yrkesverksamma som i sitt yrke möter ungdomar i en hederskontext samt att utgöra en fl

Humanity's current resource use patterns are unsustainable, and corrective action is required at all levels. Grassroots social innovation groups have great potential to contribute to solutions. The Transition movement has taken hold in Canada, but little is known about its successes and challenges in creating conditions for transformative change. Aimed at social innovation practitioners as w

This thesis covers the automatic update of the model parameters in traffic modelling using two mathematical tools, the Relative Entropy Rate and the path-wise Fisher Information Matrix. The traffic model used is based on a lattice of cells, representing the road, that can be either occupied or empty that is updated with a kinetic Monte Carlo algorithm. Because of fluctuating traffic density during

Since the 1980s, fertility rates in OECD countries stayed almost stable at levels below replacement (2.1 children on average per woman), which can have significant feedback effects on the social welfare system. While females still have the desire to form a family, this wish competes with career ambitions, leading to persistently low fertility rates due to the potential incompatibility of family an

The Alps are undergoing constant landscape changes due to modern socio economic changes. Especially grassland ecosystems of alpine meadows and pastures are threatened by the slow abandonment of the alpine transhumance traditions. This influences not only biodiversity but also the important cultural landscape seen as a valuable heritage in the Alps. The landscape in the North Italian alpine provinc

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to rethink the meaningfulness of abstract customer journey concepts, which are employed as a means of explaining consumer behaviour. Consumer behaviour however becomes more and more diverse. This study thus aimed to create knowledge about the individuality of actual customer journeys from the viewpoints of individual customers of different age groups. Theore

Purpose The purpose of this study was to explore the underlying reasons that drive consumers, belonging to a particular consumption style, to engage in paradoxical consumption practices and attempt to explain these practices. For the purpose of this study, the non-static hipster youth style was used as the empirical example of a postmodern consumption style. Methodology This study is based on e

Under detta projekt s˚a analyserades h¨ogenergetiska proton-proton kollisioner i syftet f¨or att b¨attre f¨orst˚a hur den starka v¨axelverkan med hj¨alp av gluoner h˚aller ihop kvarkar, en av materians fundamentalpartiklar, f¨or att bilda hadroner. Dessa h¨ogenergetiska protoner accelereras upp till 99 % av ljusets hastighet med hj¨alp av partikelacceleratorn ”Large Hadron Collider” (LHC), innan dThe purpose of this project is to further investigate whether the collective behavior observed in high energy proton-proton (p-p) collision can be attributed to the formation of Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP). This is done by measuring the production rate of the strange φ meson in high multiplicity p-p collisions at √sNN = 13 TeV. The high multiplicity p-p events are then divided into different transver
