Originally from chaos theory, “the butterfly effect” as a concept indicates the verisimilitude of how the most insignificant thing can have a significant ripple effect in a certain process. By analogy, courts are not immune to the “butterfly effect”. Due to the rapid proliferation of legal regimes and bodies, courts are confronted with unorthodox situations requiring that they interface one-anothe

Natural disasters are distressing and destructive for all who are exposed to them; however, certain populations are more vulnerable to their devastating effects than others. In the wake of the 2017 Northern California wildfire, scores of undocumented immigrants were significantly affected. Although the conflagration spread indiscriminately, the subsequent impacts were disproportionately felt by th

With regards to Sweden receiving criticism from the UN about not properly treating children according to the UN convention on the rights of the child, this study aims to further explore this criticism on the subject compulsory care of children and its related investigative work. Children are the pillar stones of society which means authority decisions of compulsory care should always be regarded a

There is a continued need for reliable and convenient nonintrusive thermometric techniques for better understanding and effective control of combustion related processes. In this thesis, three spectroscopic thermometric methods were studied to evaluate the hot flue gas temperatures provided by a multi-jet burner. These methods include the two-line atomic fluorescence (TLAF) thermometry, the Na/K t

Uppsala University building was built in the 19th century. A larger renovation was conducted in 2016, when the buildings fire protection systems was improved. This report investigates and evaluates the existing fire protection with consideration to both human safety and economic damage. After conducting a risk scenario analysis, two scenarios where determined to be more crucial to investigate than

The building industry has a negative effect on the environment by contributing greatly to the greenhouse effect, wastage and the depletion of materials. This project explores through the design of a house how architects can battle some of these problems and contribute to a more sustainable future. To accomplish that we should design for reuse and recycling to use our resources more effectively and

Ultrasound Optical Tomography (UOT) is a proposed technique, which combines ultrasound imaging and optical imaging in a new way to detect, e.g., blood oxygenation and tumors deep inside biological tissue, where the ultrasound provides an excellent spatial resolution, and the optical imaging gives a high contrast of different tissues according to optical properties. However, the challenges of this

Syftet med denna studie var att i ett lokalt elnät undersöka hur laddningen av elbilar påverkar lastmönster i elnätet, både i nuläget och i framtida simulerade situationer. Samt undersöka vilken potential det finns att flytta laddningen över tid i testområdet i Hyllie, Malmö. Detta genom att simulera en del av elnätet i Hyllie och styra elbilsladdningen för att kapa effekttoppar. Därefter kartlägg

Syfte: Syftet är att få en förståelse för hur chefer och medarbetare ser på värde vid ett hälsofrämjande arbete och en förbättrad hälsa. Vidare är syftet att få en förståelse för hur chefer och medarbetare ser på resultatet av det hälsofrämjande arbetet. Följande frågeställningar behandlas i studien: • Hur ser chefer och medarbetare på värde vid en förbättrad hälsa? • Hur ser chefer och medarbeta

För att se vilken inverkan regnets intensitet har på avrinningskoefficienten gjordes en litteraturstudie samt beräkningar i Excel. Litteraturstudien visar att de tabellerade värdena på avrinningskoefficienten är framtagna genom en undersökning där ett formulär sändes ut till privata och offentliga kontor i USA där de angav vilka värden på avrinningskoefficienten de brukar använda. Resultatet är prIn order to increase the knowledge regarding how the runoff coefficient varies with increased rainfall intensity, a literature study and calculations in Excel were conducted. The background to how the tabled values of the runoff coefficient have been determined was found to be a book based on an assembly of answers to a survey collected from different companies in USA. The book is called Design an

Since the purchasing expenditure of many companies is such a large part of the total cost and 99,8 % of companies are classified as Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SME), one might expect that theories on purchasing strategy would not only be conducted for large companies but also SMEs. In order to fill this gap in theory, this thesis aims to create a purchasing strategy framework for SMEs in t

I detta examensarbete undersöks svensklärares uppfattningar om och användning av svenskämnets estetiska dimensioner. Svensklärarnas uppfattningar jämförs sedan med teaterlärares ämnestraditioner och undervisning. Syftet har varit att synliggöra och problematisera beröringspunkterna mellan ämnena svenska och teater samt att undersöka om och hur teaterlärares ämnestradition kan komplettera svensklär

Det har förekommit situationer där en byggnadsnämnd har tolkat att PBL 9 kap. 30 § 1 st. p. 1 a innebär att bygglov inte kan beviljas för en fastighet som består dels av kvartersmark, dels av allmän platsmark. En sådan fastighet ansågs planstridig oavsett aktuellt huvudmannaskap i detaljplanen. Följaktligen har byggnadsnämnden för att bygglovet ska kunna beviljas, hänvisat bygglovssökande till lanThere have been several occurrences where the Building committee has not granted a building permit due to the fact that a real property unit contains partly development district and partly public space. Such a real property unit has been regarded as not corresponding with the detailed development plan. Consequently, the Building committee has referred the person who applied for the building permit

This thesis opens up the “black box” of business incubation and analyses how this process works in an incubator for cultural and creative ventures in Northern Sweden. The theoretical framework of the rites of passage by Arnold van Gennep and Victor Turner was adopted to guide the analysis. This theory indicates that one can move from one status to the next in a society through the means of differe

Regenerated cellulose fibres can become a sustainable alternative to cotton and polyester in textile applications. One method of producing such is dissolution of cellulose in an ionic liquid (IL) and regeneration through air-gap spinning. In this master thesis, the dissolution state of cellulose in the ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate (EmimAc) together with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO

Denna studie undersöker hur väl riksdagspartiernas straffrättsliga politik överensstämmer med den kriminologisk forskningen rörande detta ämne, samt möjliga förklaringar till detta förhållande mellan politik och forskning. Det material som används utgörs av riksdagspartiernas partipolitik och valprogram inför riksdagsvalet 2018, och analyseras utifrån en kvalitativ innehållsanalys. I analysen till

This study inspects the micro-determinants of return intentions for foreign nuclear families in Italy. In particular, I argue against the unitary nature of households and focus on intra-household patterns of decision-making, which have been largely neglected by previous studies. Using data from the “Statistics of Income and Living Conditions of Households with Foreigners” (Istat, 2009), I find tha
