In this report we present a non-linear mathematical model of the feed water system onboard a 250 000 ton dwt turbine tanker in the Kockum Hull 540-series (Esso Dalriada). Well-known relations from the theory of fluid mechanics give the main part of the model. A few equations are approximations of the manufacturer's data curves. The most important dynamical equations embrace acceleration of the

This report includes: A definition of a language suitable for the description of nonlinear systems. Development of FORTRAN-routines that performs a compilation of the language to a pseudo-code and a routine to interpret and execute this code. The welding of the compiler and the execution-routine into a complete interactive simulation-package.

Bakgrund: Övervikt och fetma ökar globalt och orsakar stort lidande, ett flertal följdsjukdomar samt stora samhällsekonomiska kostnader. Fysisk aktivitet är en viktig komponent i omvårdnadsarbetet vid övervikt och fetma. Fysisk inaktivitet orsakar idag många dödsfall.

Upphandlingslagstiftningen är endast tillämplig på upphandlingsprocessen fram till och med att ett upphandlingskontrakt ingåtts mellan en upphandlande myndighet och en leverantör. Parterna har i praktiken dock inte möjlighet att helt fritt råda över sitt pågående upphandlingskontrakt. Upphandlingslagstiftningen kan ändå i vissa fall komma att tillämpas på ett pågående kontrakt om det sker ändringaThe public procurement rules are only applicable to the procurement process until the contracting authority and the contractor has entered into a public contract. Nevertheless the contracting parties are not able to determine their own ongoing contract. The public procurement rules may in some cases still be applied on an ongoing contract if changes are made to it. A change of contractor is a modi

The effect of university ranking on university applications has been subject to evaluations in several countries but in Sweden it is not as recognized. This study aims to examine whether applicants to Swedish university studies are affected by national and international university rankings. The effect of university ranking is examined on a set of applicant related variables such as the total numbe

Diel Vertical Migration (DVM) in the aquatic environment is of great ecological importance. In order to better understand and predict this fabulous orchestra of migrating biomass, the underlying behaviors behind each individual’s swimming tactics need to be better understood. While vertical migrating behaviors in animals such as zooplankton and fish have been deeply investigated, phytoplankton beh

ILO 169 – Indigenous and Tribal Peoples Convention - is an international treaty that deals exclusively with the rights of indigenous peoples. Sweden is a country that normally commits to human rights and international treaties. However, it is still one of the countries that has not ratified ILO 169. By conducting a critical discourse analysis with a postcolonial approach, this study problematizes

Syftet med denna uppsats är att utreda och analysera om enskilda kan åläggas ett utomobligatoriskt skadeståndsansvar enligt Europakonventionen. I uppsatsen behandlas frågan om enskilda, enligt gällande svensk rätt, kan grunda ett skadeståndsanspråk gentemot andra enskilda direkt på Europakonventionen. Vidare görs en kritisk granskning av det svenska rättsläget utifrån dels ett europarättsligt persThe purpose of this essay is to investigate and analyse if individuals can become liable to pay damages under the European Convention on Human Rights. The essay deals with the question of whether private persons, according to the Swedish law, can make a claim for damages against other individuals by directly applying the European Convention. Furthermore, the Swedish legal position is critically ex
