Denna studie handlar om utsatta barns möjligheter till rättssäkerhet i en globaliserad värld. Vi har undersökt centrala aktörers uppfattningar om barns utsatthet vid barnsexturism, i syfte att skapa en ökad förståelse för hur dessa barns rättssäkerhet tar uttryck. Vårt perspektiv, på de globala processerna och dess betydelse för utsatta barns möjligheter till rättssäkerhet, har således varit barne

Previous research has focused on the correlation between CSR and returns, whilst considerably less efforts have been undertaken to investigate whether CSR affects a company’s valuation. Therefore this paper focus on investigating the correlation between these two variables. This is done by comparing valuation multiples of constructed indices consisting of bad and socially responsible companies to

Denna rapport beskriver utvecklingen av väderskyddskoncept till fixed dome-övervakningskameror. Målet var att ta fram en lösning som fungerar bättre mot regn än de befintliga lösningarna på marknaden och som samtidigt är en produkt som passar in på en byggnad och ihop med kameran. Att designa ett väderskydd är ett komplext problem då det måste uppfylla många olika krav. Det måste bland annat klaThis report describes the design and development of weather shield concepts for wall-mounted fixed dome surveillance cameras. The aim was to create concepts that would have better functionality against rain than current solutions while at the same time being attractive, non-obtrusive products. During the first phase the challenges of a weather shield were explored in detail. Areas such as differe

The fire protection engineering is primarily about the design of fire protection systems based on identified fire risks in a building. The design process comprises of three main stages i.e. conceptual design stage, construction/implementation stage and final implemented design which is the end product. Sometimes the final implemented design deviates from either the defined goals and objectives, or

In this master’s thesis, an industrial control system together with a network camera and servo motors were used to automate a ball and plate labyrinth system. The two servo motors, each with its own servo drive, were connected by joint arms to the plate resting on two interconnected gimbal frames, one for each axis. A background subtraction-based ball position tracking algorithm was developed to m

Some colors might have different connotations depending on people’s cultural backgrounds. When talking about evacuation, the color employed for exit signs and flashing lights plays a significant role because it is in charge of transmitting a message to the evacuees, either danger or safety. The aims of this study are to evaluate the influence of red and green emergency wayfinding systems on people

This report focuses the use of egress models to study the airport evacuation with special focus on security doors in case of total evacuation in airport terminal buildings. Case studies are made in arrival hall and departure hall of the airport terminal based on the scenarios identified in a preliminary risk analysis carried out in the terminal. Evacuation strategies are employed in the two differ
