Traditionally, multi-family houses have been constructed using heavy, homogenous materials like concrete and masonry. But as a consequence of the progress of lightweight building systems during the last decades, it has been questioned whether standardized sound insulation evaluation methods still are appropriate. An extensive measurement template has been applied in a field survey where several vi

Recent experiments exposing migratory birds to altered magnetic fields simulating geographical displacements have shown that the geomagnetic field acts as an external cue affecting migratory fuelling behaviour. This is the first study investigating fuel deposition in relation to geomagnetic cues in long-distance migrants using the western passage of the Mediterranean region. Juvenile wheatears (Oe

Following myocardial infarction (MI), patients often have unanswered questions about resuming sexual activity. Coronary care nurses can play an important role in counselling. However, this sensitive area is frequently neglected in nursing practice. This article discusses patient and nurse perceptions of such discussions and explores ways to increase nurses' awareness, so that they might offer sexu

Previous research has shown that wheelchair-seated passengers using special transportation services (STS) have been injured without being involved in a vehicle crash. In order to estimate incident rate and societal costs for these vehicle-related injuries, the focus needs to be adjusted towards a traveler/incident-oriented perspective. The aim of the project was to utilize such a perspective, rela

A small wind power plant connected to the grid has been modeled in Modelica/ Dymola and controlled using external controllers written in C++. The small wind power plant consists of three wind power units with a nominal power of 3kW and one grid connection interconnected with an internal DCgrid. All the controls needed for control and optimization for the operation of the individual parts in the pl

När domstolar beslutar om vilket straff en gärningsman ska få för ett visst brott måste de först bedöma brottets straffvärde. En grundläggande ideologi i det svenska straffsystemet är att straffet ska stå i proportion till brottets svårighetsgrad. Vid beaktandet av straffvärdet ska rättstillämparna enligt 29 kap. 1 § BrB bland annat ta hänsyn till den skada, kränkning eller fara som gärningen inne

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Arsenik finns överallt i naturen och släpps även ut genom industrier. Det är ett klassiskt gift som färgat historien, men som även använts inom medicin. Arsenik är det enda kemiska cancerogena ämne som ger hudcancer vid förtäring. Det har även använts inom industrin under en lång tid, och deponering av arsenikhaltigt material kommer att orsaka stora miljöproblem.Arsenic is present everywhere in the world. It is found in the bedrock and is discharged by industries. Differents forms of arsenic varies in toxicity, the inorganic form is much more toxic then the organic form. The inorganic form is most common in drinking water and groundwater, meanwhile the inorganic form can occasionally be found in reasonable large quantities in fish and seafood. Today milli

I den här uppsatsen undersöker vi vilka utmaningar sju svenska kommuner har stött på i sitt arbete med sociala medier. Genom intervjuer med tolv personer som arbetar med information och kommunikation i sina respektive kommuner har det framkommit ett antal utmaningar som har analyserats genom ett neoinstitutionellt perspektiv. Neoinstitutionalismen förklarar hur organisationer agerar för att anses

Title: Expressions of grief - a social psychological study Authors: Christel Hagdahl, Linn Bengtsson Supervisor: Anders Östnäs The purpose of this study was to describe and analyze human grief via social media from a social psychological perspective. We found it interesting to study blogs to illustrate the diversity in expressions of grief and to analyze which social norms that influence the proce

The outcome of the European Union’s (EU) growing legitimacy crisis was building a closer relationship to its citizens. Civil society and thus Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) at European level are seen as the remedy for the EU to improve their image and create more effective policy making. Ideally, national members of CSOs feed into the political discussion at the European level through active p

I detta examensarbete för kandidatexamen i Strategisk kommunikation har vi gjort en studie med syftet att öka kunskapen inom och förståelsen för ämnet formaanpassning, genom att ta reda på hur svenska produktionsbolag och kanaler arbetat strategisk med anpassning av tv-format samt vilka faktorer som leder till att en formatanpassning genomförs. För att nå vårt syfte har vi undersökt hur de tre pro

There is a limited amount of research regarding the use of information systems (IS) augmenting organizations ecological sustainable initiatives. While the field of Green IT somewhat has been studied, Green IS has not received the same attention in scientific research. In this report we have aimed to identify areas that are poorly, or have yet to be, augmented by IS. Thus highlighting areas where o

Perifert insatt central venkateter, piccline, blir allt vanligare inom svensk sjukvård. Vid Skånes onkologiska klinik i Lund har man sedan 2002 använt piccline och 2008 introducerade kliniken en ny inläggningsteknik. Tidigare hade man lagt in katetern via ett synligt kärl i armvecket. Den nya inläggningstekniken innebär att man lägger in katetern i ett kärl i överarmen med hjälp av ultraljud. På u

The family is of great importance, both as a basic social unit, but also for the individual child's development. In cases where the parents for various reasons are unable to care for their children and the family environment may be even harmful to the child, it is society's role to take over parental r
