The transition from the drawingboard to 2D-CAD was a whole new way to work more efficiently. Now we are facing a new transition, from 2D-CAD to BIM. The transition from drawingboard to 2D-CAD affected only drawing techniques. The transition to BIM meant a whole new way of working.
The environmental agenda is constantly relevant in the political science of today and the amount of research being done follows there of. This thesis explores the topic of environmental policy between governmental levels with special focus on the construction industry.

There is a notable trend within the building industry to move from traditional two-dimensional drawing tools towards three-dimensional design tools in order to make the design process more effective with a quicker and more rational way to produce blue prints and other documents. Parallel to this trend it is also become more common for structural engineers to use three dimensional tools for stru

Although Abstinence-Only-Until-Marriage programs have proven ineffective in reducing teenage pregnancy rates and the spread of STDs, thirteen states in the U.S still stress abstinence in their sexual education curricula. This in turn has created a big debate over what sexual education in public schools should contain. This paper intends to determine whether the arguments proposed by three advocacy
I små- och flerbostadshus av träkonstruktion krävs det många gånger att håltagning i limträbalkar utförs, oftast för ventilations- och/eller avloppsrör. Detta medför en inverkan på balken i fråga om bärförmåga och nedböjning. I rapporten har klyvbalkar med hål som har en diameter större än halva balkhöjden, avsedda att användas i bostadsbjälklag, testats och analyserats. Detta genom laborationspro
I denna studie har en mall för dimensionering och projektering av industriväggar åt Abetong tagits fram. Detta främst för att ge konstruktionsavdelningen ett underlag för snabbare och mer effektiv projektering samt ge fördelar i produktion och vid montage. Det har även lagts stor vikt vid att ha enhetliga lösningar på de olika komponenterna för att standardisera industriväggen och på så vis minska

När man talar om nationalismen i Sverige är det mer eller mindre ofrånkomligt att man tänker på den nationalism som såg nationens geografiska gränser såsom överensstämmande med Sveriges nutida gränser – det är med andra ord den ”svenska” nationen man talar om. Härmed blir också den ”svenska” nationen den enda tänkbara nationella konstellationen för svenskt vidkommande, och alternativa nationella r
The main purpose of this thesis is to investigate and analyse some of the radicals utilized in the kanji of the Japanese language. These are radicals that have more than one variation of their shape and may be positioned in different locations within the character, at times depending on the structural variation of the radical. The radicals will therefore be analysed in order to try and discover if
In recent years the idea and practice of democracy promotion has gained con-siderable attention and exists on every international organisation’s agenda. Due to the contestability of the concept of democracy, promoters are in front of a variety of instruments.

Den upphandlande myndigheten ges en stor frihet vid upphandling och kan ställa krav på bl.a. leverantören och upphandlingsföremålet.

A condition is that the requirement is formed in a way that allows verification of the requirement. The accuracy of the supplier's information must be possible to establish by the contracting authority. The fact that a requi
Coastal areas around the world are being shaped by many natural phenomena, as well as by man-induced activities. Hydrodynamic phenomena such as wind-generated waves, extreme storms and seasonal tides cause a continued change in topography and the natural sediment formation in the nearshore zone as a result of erosion and accumulation. Therefore, the nature of the nearshore zone and its protection
The time-frequency (TF) spectral representation of Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR) signal data provides information about their spectral contents. We apply the Spectrogram, Thomson Multitaper and Peak Matched Multiple Window (PM MW) spectral estimation methods to four different number of clicks per average (i.e., 1313, 300, 100 and 50 number of clicks per average) of a simulated signal data. For
Two unannounced evacuation experiments were performed in two different nightclubs. The goal was to measure a pre-movement time for the visitors as well as observe the human behavior in an evacuation situation. The visitors were filmed during the evacuation and later asked to answer a questionnaire. At the same time a breathalyzer was used to measure the visitors’ alcohol concentration. The data fr
