Board, made of wood based raw material, is used for structural purposes with increasing frequency in light construction techniques. Therefore, it is of great importance that both producers and users understand how the material behaves under longterm leading and elirnatic exposure. A comparative study is made of longterm load indurced detleetians of various board materials, such as fibre board, par

Background In the surroundings of the Dadaab Refugee Camps in Kenya lives a large pastoral population under less favourable conditions than the people inside the refugee camps. Many international NGO’s have started to support the hosting community, but there seems to be a lack of long term oriented development work. This project is based on a wonder over why it apparently is difficult for an inter

Burdur Lake, which is located in southwest of Turkey in Lake Region, and has been drying rapidly in the last 30 years. Disappearance of the water from the lake brings dramatic changes to the region on both socio-economic and cultural levels. This paper explores the processes that brought Burdur Lake and its locals to the point where the lake is today. Transformations in cultural habits and everyda

Lönebildningen är en process i ständig förändring som genom tiderna både påverkat och påverkats av arbetsmarknadens förutsättningar. Det är en process som har betydelse för såväl löntagare som företag och arbetsmarknaden i stort. Genom att lönebildningen i mitten av 1900-talet bestod av gemensamma förhandlingar mellan arbetsmarknadens centrala organ kunde många intressen tillvaratas och arbetsfred

Den svenska regeringen stadgade i juli 2010 en lag angående möjligheten för ett moderbolag att dra av en slutlig förlust hos ett utländskt dotterbolag från moderbolagets beskattningsbara vinst. Detta lagförslag är ett resultat av Regeringsrättens domar från 2009, som i sin tur tolkar den europeiska domstolens domar, närmare bestämt Marks & Spencer och Oy AA. Lagförslaget stämmer, enligt min meThe Swedish government has in July 2010 incorporated a legislation regarding the possibility to deduct a loss incurred by a non-resident subsidiary, from the parent company’s taxable income. This Law is based on the Swedish administrative court’s interpretation of the European Union Court’s judgement of the Marks & Spencer case and the Oy AA case. The law is in my opinion not completely compat

A SIFO-survey ordered by E.ON has shown that more than every fourth person in Sweden feels that they have poor knowledge and control over their energy use, and that four out of ten would like to be more aware and to have better control over it. A solution is to provide the householders with feedback of their energy consumption. Studies have shown that householders can reduce energy consumption wit

Som väntat visar det sig att regelkonstruktionen är· för vek för att kunna uppfy-lla1 beräkningsmodellens förutsättning om helt stela element. En uppstyvning av konstruktionen vid FEM beräkningarna ger en nästan exakt överensstämmelse med beräkningsmodellens resultat.

The present work deals with wooden laminated beams and arehes joined with nail plates. Analysis methods for shorthand as well as computer calculations are presented. A number of practical experiments have been performed as a validity check of the theory. The economy for this type of construction compared with glued laminated timber is discussed.

We have searched for different possibilities to introduce Multimedia at a welding company in Argentina. We decided to create a training system. Our system should teach an unskilled user how to use a rather camplex expert system for welding. In this paper we discuss the design and implementation of a multimedia training system. We also include an evaluatlon of the software tools used in this projec

Longterm tests of two different adhesives have been performed. Three different test methods were used to determine the ageing performance of adhesive bands. One set of specimens was subjected to eyelic accelerated ageing and testedfor shear strength after different numbers of cycles. Another set has been exposed to the same ageing procedure, but with eonstantshear stress to determine creep deforma

Uppsatsen Svenska kyrkans insats vid kriser och katastrofer är skriven av Frida Einarsson vid Lunds universitet, Centrum för teologi och religionsvetenskap, och framlagd 5 november 2012. Jag har valt att ägna mitt arbete åt att studera Svenska kyrkans insatser vid kriser och katastrofer. Jag hävdar att det är ett intressant faktum att Svenska kyrkans lite ”undanskymda” roll i dagens samhälle för
