A fire barriers are widely used in the industry as a passive fire protection system. Fire barriers are built according to specifications from manufacturer after the construction was tested in full scale furnace in accordance to the appropriate codes. Those tests are made private and the test results are not published apart from the failure/success of the tested sample. In order to accurately prote

I takt med att det globala klimatet förändras ökar viljan att utveckla och effektivisera energi utvinningen av förnybara energier så som vindkraft. Utveckling inom vindkraftsindustrin har under de senaste åren varit att bladlängden blir längre. Detta eftersom längden på bladen ökar effekten vindkraftverket kan producera. Problemet med den ökade vindlängden har varit dels varit att vikten av bladetThe usage of wind turbines during the latest years has grown substantially and are becoming an increasingly important source of renewable energy, as many countries are trying to reduce their reliance on fossil fuels. In order to increase the effect of the wind turbines the length of the blades has been increased, which has also led to an increase of the cross-section dimensions. This has led to ma

Initiation of construction of apartments has increased by 26% from 2014 to 2015 in Sweden. This has meant more building permits to treat. Several tasks done by a building inspector has been identified through active observation of the building permit department in Helsingborg. Some of the tasks are review of cases, technical consultation, and visits at building places, final consultation, supervis

Redan de gamla grekerna var på jakt efter universums mest fundamentala beståndsdelar. Sedan slutet av 1800-talet har man bedrivit denna jakt med alltmer avancerade experiment. Idag har frukterna av detta sökande sammanfattats i en modell, Standard Modellen, som bland annat förklarar hur partiklar interagerar och får sin massa. Men det finns en rad iakttagelser som modellen inte kan förklara, som eIn this project, part of the 2015 ATLAS data from \sqrt{s} = 13 TeV proton-proton collisions was studied with the TAG Data (TADA) framework. The project also serves as a general introduction to the data analysis tools used in high-energy physics experiments. However, since the TADA data had not yet been reviewed by the ATLAS collaboration, it was omitted in this thesis. It was revealed that some o

The European Union has a number of policies intended to stimulate growth and development of the less developed countries. This paper investigates EUs largest of this kind, the Generalized System of Preferences, and the effects of graduating from the scheme. When the development of a beneficiary country’s product sector is considered being competitive enough, the EU will no longer include the secto

This paper explores the impact of foreign aid on firm investment in physical capital using a dataset of 10 783 firms in 21 of the least developed countries. Using data from the World Bank Enterprise Surveys combined with sector allocated Official Development Assistance obtained from OECD CRS, no significant effect of aid was found. Fixed effects for country, sector and year did not change this res

Som ett komplement till en miljödomsansökan för Lunds Universitets provpumpningsanläggning vid Revingehed, har en geofysisk undersökning utförts för att få en bild av viktiga lagergränsers utbredning. En lerig morän som vilar direkt på berggrunden vid ca 30 - 50 m djup är speciellt viktigt då den separerar två akvifärer och agerar som impermeabel barriär för eventuell föroreningsspridning. Den anv

Business Intelligence has been growing fast the last two decades and more organizations are seeing a need of BI software to analyse data and make fast and accurate decisions. Public sector and municipalities have also adapted to this trend and implemented BI in their organizations. It is claimed that public sector tends to be slower and more resistant when adapting new technology. The purpose of t

Nya behandlingar har implementerats i Sverige för att minska antalet personer med självskadebeteende. En av dessa behandlingar är Emotion Regulation Group Therapy (ERGT). Syftet med denna studie var att utforska sex patienters upplevelser av att genomgå ERGT och vilka förändringar i såväl mående som psykiatriska symptom (mätt med Deliberate Self-Harm Inventory, Depression Anxiety Stress Scale och New treatments for non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) have been implemented in Sweden to decrease the number of people with self-injurious behavior. One of these treatments is Emotion Regulation Group Therapy (ERGT). This study aimed to explore six patients’ experiences of undergoing ERGT and the changes in well-being as well as in psychiatric symptoms (measured with Deliberate Self-Harm Inventory, D

This paper investigates the non-flat volatility surface of foreign exchange options, a so-called volatility smile. Foreign exchange options are especially interesting due their liquidity and frequency in risk management. To propose a non-complex model of the determinants of variation in the smile, a principal component approach is suggested. As this approach allows for explanation of the developme

Environmental policy should be made up of scientific evidence. This thesis paper supports science based policy and its formulation through innovative communication strategies. It is important to be innovative in communicating science when dealing with the policy community as there could be confrontations owing to the nature of relation between science and policy. This is where the professional env

Med automatiskt feldetektering och periodisk övervakning av molnapplikationer kan en önskad nivå av tillförlitlighet uppnås genom automatiskt kloning av applikationen. Nackdelen är att fler resurser krävs och därför måste antalet kopior hållas till ett minimum genom att inte ha fler kopior än nödvändigt. Genom att skapa identiska kopior av funktioner eller beräkningar som en tjänst utför, så ökarEnsuring a predefined level of reliability for applications running in distributed environments is a complex task. Having multiple identical copies of a task increases redundancy and thereby the reliability. Due to varying properties of the often heterogeneous and vast number of components used in distributed environments, using static analysis of the environment to determine how many copies are n

In this thesis I examine how the aggressive fracking-debate in the Canadian Province New Brunswick from 2010 onwards, and how the three participating actors (the fracking-critical Native Canadian group Elsipogtog First Nation, the non-native fracking-critical group New Brunswick Anti-Shale Gas Alliance (NBASGA) and the fossil fuel company Southwestern Energy Resources Canada) view nature in differ

In Europe, there are still a significant amount of residential fires. Particularly fires in the living room are a major threat to the occupants. Much research has been done to residential fires. However, there is still little known about the impact of the development of building structures and building content on the fire behaviour and room conditions. This report shows a clear view of how these d
