This report investigates problems concerning the use of clean agents in a low-temperature environment, i. e. temperatures below the boiling-point of the agent. Three commercially available agents have been included in the tests: HFC-227ea, HFC-236fa and FS49C2. The results from the tests show that the use of an agent should be avoided at temperatures below its boiling point, although some fire-e

Experience from fireprevention measures and efforts from Eksjö, Jönköping, Vaxholm and Fredrikstad (Norway) are also discussed.

The aim of the report is to investigate the possibility of reducing the discharge of pollution to the air, water and soil at Ågesta training ground. The report documents which byproducts from fire are created such as smoke and water, and their effects on humans and the environment. A study of the geology of Ågesta which makes it possible to track the flow of groundwater has been included, as well

Today’s dementia care has demonstrated a widespread use of locking devices in the escape routes of the care units. Most commonly code locks. The locking devices are used to prevent wanderers from wandering away from de dementia unit and risk hurting themselves, disappear or even die. On the contrary, the locks themselves may endanger a safe escape in the case of fire as well as it is may violate t

För statligt anställda och statligt verksamma gäller speciella ansvarsregler. Uppsatsen inriktar sig på att utreda tillämpningen av tjänstefel och disciplinansvar. Det första är en straffrättslig sanktion då fel begåtts i tjänsten i samband med myndighetsutövning. Det andra är ett arbetsrättsligt/förvaltningsrättsligt administrativt förfarande som myndigheter kan tillgripa gentemot sina anställda For state employees and those who exercise public authority, special liability rules apply in regards to professional misconduct. The essay focuses on investigating the application of disciplinary offence (breach of duty) in both criminal law and labour law. Disciplinary offence in criminal law is regulated in the Penal Code (brottsbalken) which applies when the violation committed is made within

Denna studie beskriver ett test av användbarheten hos beräkningsverktyget PC-OSKAR. Detta är ett av företaget ABB egenutvecklat datorprogram för design och konstruktion av motorer. Syftet med testet var att identifiera användbarhetsproblem hos PC-OSKAR. Testet bestod i att fem stycken deltagare fick sju stycken representativa arbetsuppgifter. Uppgifterna utvärderades med Performance Measurement Me

Uppsatsens syfte är dels att granska och beskriva private equity-bolagens arbete med fokus på de förändringar i corporate governance som sker inom portföljbolagen, dels att studera om dessa insatser kan leda till värdeskapande.

Kosovo, världens 193:e land, blir den sjätte staten som bildats från den serbdominerade jugoslaviska federationen sedan 1991, efter Slovenien, Makedonien, Bosnien och Montenegro som blev världens nyaste stat 2006. Kosovos status som självständig stat är dock fortfarande omstridd. Frågan om Kosovo är ett internationellt subjekt som har en rätt till externt självbestämmande och därmed är ett subjektKosovo, the world’s 193rd country, will be the sixth state carved from the former Serbian-dominated Yugoslav federation since 1991, after Slovenia, Croatia, Macedonia, Bosnia and Montenegro, which became the world’s newest state in 2006. Kosovo’s statehood is, however, still disputed. The question if Kosovo is a subject that has a right to external self-determination and therby hold international

Den här uppsatsen handlar om fastighetsmäklares relationer till sina kunder. Om deras vardagliga arbete och hur de upplever sin yrkesroll. Jag analyserar mitt material främst med hjälp av två olika teoretiska referensramar; dramaturgiskt perspektiv (Goffman, 1959) och Arlie Russel Hochschilds teori om emotionellt arbete (1983). I min studie står fastighetsmäklares subjektiva upplevelse av yrkesrol

Syfte: Att undersöka och utveckla befintliga lojalitets- och värdeskapandeteorier så de kan appliceras på dagens musikstreamingtjänster där utbud är oändligt och konsumtion gratis. Vår forskning ämnar främja tillväxten och utvecklingen av lagliga musiktjänster och bidra till ökad förståelse kring kundernas musikkonsumtion. Metod: Både kvalitativa och kvantitativa undersökningar användes vid insaml
