I små- och flerbostadshus av träkonstruktion krävs det många gånger att håltagning i limträbalkar utförs, oftast för ventilations- och/eller avloppsrör. Detta medför en inverkan på balken i fråga om bärförmåga och nedböjning. I rapporten har klyvbalkar med hål som har en diameter större än halva balkhöjden, avsedda att användas i bostadsbjälklag, testats och analyserats. Detta genom laborationspro
I denna studie har en mall för dimensionering och projektering av industriväggar åt Abetong tagits fram. Detta främst för att ge konstruktionsavdelningen ett underlag för snabbare och mer effektiv projektering samt ge fördelar i produktion och vid montage. Det har även lagts stor vikt vid att ha enhetliga lösningar på de olika komponenterna för att standardisera industriväggen och på så vis minska

När man talar om nationalismen i Sverige är det mer eller mindre ofrånkomligt att man tänker på den nationalism som såg nationens geografiska gränser såsom överensstämmande med Sveriges nutida gränser – det är med andra ord den ”svenska” nationen man talar om. Härmed blir också den ”svenska” nationen den enda tänkbara nationella konstellationen för svenskt vidkommande, och alternativa nationella r
The main purpose of this thesis is to investigate and analyse some of the radicals utilized in the kanji of the Japanese language. These are radicals that have more than one variation of their shape and may be positioned in different locations within the character, at times depending on the structural variation of the radical. The radicals will therefore be analysed in order to try and discover if
In recent years the idea and practice of democracy promotion has gained con-siderable attention and exists on every international organisation’s agenda. Due to the contestability of the concept of democracy, promoters are in front of a variety of instruments. The European Union is not an exception and in 2006 the European Instrument for Democracy and Human Rights was established as the concrete ex
Den upphandlande myndigheten ges en stor frihet vid upphandling och kan ställa krav på bl.a. leverantören och upphandlingsföremålet. Ett villkor vid kravställande är att kravet utformats på ett sätt som möjliggör en kontroll av kravet. Riktigheten av en leverantörs lämnande uppgifter ska kunna kontrolleras av den upphandlande myndigheten. Att ett krav ska vara möjligt att kontrollera följer av EU-The contracting authority is given a great freedom when negotiating a contract and may demand certain requirements, in relation to the supplier and the procurement object. A condition is that the requirement is formed in a way that allows verification of the requirement. The accuracy of the supplier's information must be possible to establish by the contracting authority. The fact that a requi
Coastal areas around the world are being shaped by many natural phenomena, as well as by man-induced activities. Hydrodynamic phenomena such as wind-generated waves, extreme storms and seasonal tides cause a continued change in topography and the natural sediment formation in the nearshore zone as a result of erosion and accumulation. Therefore, the nature of the nearshore zone and its protection
The time-frequency (TF) spectral representation of Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR) signal data provides information about their spectral contents. We apply the Spectrogram, Thomson Multitaper and Peak Matched Multiple Window (PM MW) spectral estimation methods to four different number of clicks per average (i.e., 1313, 300, 100 and 50 number of clicks per average) of a simulated signal data. For
Two unannounced evacuation experiments were performed in two different nightclubs. The goal was to measure a pre-movement time for the visitors as well as observe the human behavior in an evacuation situation. The visitors were filmed during the evacuation and later asked to answer a questionnaire. At the same time a breathalyzer was used to measure the visitors’ alcohol concentration. The data fr
The Magoye River is located in the Southern Province of Zambia. This is the most drought prone region in Zambia and a lot of water bodies dry up during the dry seasons, including the Magoye River. Small scale livestock farming is widespread in the area and low water availability during dry seasons forces local farmers to push their cattle long distances for drinking water and grazing during dry se
After the 1980s, neoliberalism became the dominant philosophy of development across the world. Whereas the widespread implementation of neoliberal economic policies contributed immensely for a maximization of world economic integration and activity, critics argue that the ideology was also responsible for dramatically widening the inequality gap between and within nations, as well as for the incre
Many fire protection engineers working in the operative part of the rescue service feel that they do not have enough training for their role as Tactical leader and as On scene commander. There is a need for a tool for competence development and competence assurance. This report provides the results of a master’s thesis, with the aim to develop a prototype of such a tool. The tool is limited to the
Scientific summary: Amongst other affected countries, Namibia endured seasonal floods in different parts of the country namely, Karas, Kavango, Caprivi, Ohangwena, Omusati, and Oshana regions. However, the study was only conducted on the floods within the Ohangwena region. Major flooding in this region became eminent from 2007, and only rapid appraisal assessments were conducted. As a consequence,
