In the urban society there are more and more hard surfaces that prevent the natural drainage of rain water. To lead the runoff of rain water and to avoid flooding it is crucial that the systems for drainage work properly. In the event of a storm drain being blocked, flooding can occur due to the rain water not being able to flow in to the storm drain. A system that can send an alarm when a storm d

Abstract Through today’s Cloud platforms, one can easily gain access to several services that eases collaboration and data storage.

I början av 2018 utbröt en debatt om kulturrådets utdelning av litteraturstöd i svenska dagstidningar. I samband med uttalanden från kulturminister Alice Bah Kuhnke menade vissa av bokmarknadens aktörer att litteraturstödet är utsatt för politisk styrning och att kvalitetskriteriet bortprioriteras. Uppsatsen undersöker de olika förväntningarna och föreställningarna som finns på litteraturstödet. J

This paper presents a comparison of ranking between two different performance measures, Sharpe Ratio and Certainty Equivalent Returns, on U.S. tech sector funds. Firstly, we compared the ranking of funds based on the Sharpe Ratio family, i.e. the traditional Sharpe Ratio, Reward-to-VaR and Reward-to-ES. The strong correlation between the rankings is in line with the previous studies. Further, by c

This thesis explores what it means to struggle for food sovereignty under belligerent occupation. It makes the argument that the deliberate suppression of agriculture in the West Bank (occupied Palestinian territories) and ensuing deterioration of food sovereignty can be understood as an example of “slow violence,” further entrenching the settler-colonial occupation of Palestine. The settler-colon

Målet med examensarbetet är att korrelera en simuleringsmodell med ett fysiskt test av en Lynk & Co 01. Simuleringsmodellen är en komplett fordonssimulering som innefattar en simuleringsmodell i Adams och en simuleringsmodell i MSC Nastran. För att kunna utföra korrelationen är olika förkorrelationsfaser nödvändiga. Dessa faser består av att få en förståelse för simuleringsmodellen, utveckla vThe aim of the master thesis project is to correlate a simulation model with a physical test of the Lynk & Co 01. The simulation model is a complete vehicle simulation which includes an Adams simulation model and a MSC Nastran simulation model. To carry out the correlation, different pre-correlation phases are necessary. These phases consist of obtaining an understanding of the simulation mode

In this thesis we used a Vector Error Correction (VEC) model to analyse whether changes in credit growth have a significant effect on output in Iceland using monthly data for the period 1997-2017. Both our results from the error variance decompositions and the impulse response functions suggest that changes in credit and exports have a large impact on Icelandic output. We conclude that changes in

Purpose: The purpose of the thesis is to examine how gender relations are expressed by women within the IT occupation. Moreover, our objective is also to enhance our understanding of the meanings of campaigns for increased equality, by more specifically aiming to comprehend the meaning or meanings of the #MeToo campaign. Methodology: The study is based on a qualitative abductive research approach

Som ett möjligt och allvarligt tillstånd i reaktion på en traumatisk händelse så innebär posttraumatiskt stressyndrom (PTSD) ofta funktionsnedsättningar, komorbiditet och nedsatta livsfunktioner.

This study engages with the informal e-waste sector, its financial, environmental and human health impacts as perceived by the e-waste workers. Although recovering resources from e-waste informally is useful to the financial needs of the workers, the rudimentary techniques employed are detrimental to the human-environment system. Surprisingly, not much is known about the perception of informal e-w

Governments and municipalities are now starting to open up their large amount of collected data and provide it as open government data. The opening of data is often simplified, and the complexity of the phenomena is generally not understood by municipalities. In line with this, the purpose of the thesis is to discuss how the factors that affect utilizations of open government data are being manage

Pre-treatment with pulse electric field (PEF) of whole carrots was investigated, with the aim of achieving maximal tissue damage and reduce drying time of carrot cubes. Relative electrolyte leakage (REL) measurements and trypan blue staining was used to evaluate the extent of tissue damage of carrots subjected to PEF. The investigated PEF parameters were: electric field strength, number of pulses,
