Events that can be described as high impact and low probability (HILP-events) have been proven difficult to deal with, for example background data often is sparse. Due to the construction of traffic tunnels these events need to be taken into consideration. A tool for doing this is risk analysis, and with this tool the events can be identified and handled with a quantitative or qualitative approach

Allt fler kommuner utformar och använder digitala tvillingar eller 3D stadsmodeller för att tillgodose sina behov inom bl.a. stadsplanering och bygglov. Inom byggbranschen så ökar användningen av byggnadsinformationsmodellering (BIM) i framförallt planering- och projekteringsstadiet. Frågan är hur man kan utbyta denna digitala information från respektive bransch i bygglovsprövningar. I nuläget såAn increasing number of cities are modelling their built environment in three-dimensional (3D) city models to plan their cities more efficiently. In parallel, the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry are increasingly relying on Building Information Models (BIM) when designing, constructing and managing facilities such as buildings. These new means of storing, presenting and ex

BACKGROUND: Nitrones such as 2-sulfo-phenyl-N-tert-butyl nitrone (S-PBN) are known to trap and stabilize free radicals and to reduce inflammation. Recently, S-PBN was shown to reduce infiltration of T lymphocytes and the expression of adhesion molecules on the endothelium in experimental traumatic brain injury. We hypothesized that S-PBN could reduce infiltration of T lymphocytes during cell-media

Ethylcellulose thickened oil (EC oleogels) has a significant retarding effect on lipolysis and may be used for controlled-release formulations. However, the high temperature (above 150 °C) used during the gel-forming process becomes an obvious limitation that hinders the application of EC oleogels to temperature-sensitive active ingredients. A cold-mixing procedure that could allow for an encapsul

The implementation of gender fair language is often associated with negative reactions and hostile attacks on people who propose a change. This was also the case in Sweden in 2012 when a third gender-neutral pronoun hen was proposed as an addition to the already existing Swedish pronouns for she (hon) and he (han). The pronoun hen can be used both generically, when gender is unknown or irrelevant,

The purpose of this master’s thesis, based on literary and empirical studies, is to illustrate and discuss how libraries with special collections are affected by thefts. All institutions working with cultural heritage are possible targets of theft. The study examines how thefts from library special collections affect the libraries. In Sweden only a few regional and university libraries own collec

Pelare som utsätts för tryck kan behöva stabiliseras för att inte böja ut oönskat mycket i sidled. För att stabilisera pelaren måste fjäderstyvheten i det stabiliserande stödet vara tillräckligt stort. Detta för att undvika instabilitetsbrott men också för att fjäderkraften i stödet inte ska bli för stor. För en pelare med en led i toppen och i botten beräknas vanligen Eulers knäckningslast P_e=(Columns under vertical point loads will need a brace in order not to bend out in a mode of column buckling. To stabilize the column, a sufficient brace stiffness needs to be given, both to avoid column instability and to reduce the horizontal force which occurs in the brace. Column buckling is usually determined by Eulers buckling formula P_e=(π^2 EI)/l^2 . This is the value when buckling occurs r

The thesis evaluates the Swedish EITC and its effect on the employment rate. The Swedish EITC was introduced in 2007 to encourage more people to enter the labor market. This will be evaluated with a difference-in-difference method. The fact that the tax rate in the municipality is an important part of the formula for the EITC will be used to form groups depending of the size of the tax rate. A mun

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to assess the sustainability of the efficient market theorem when accounting for extreme events, which are of the essence in a Black Swan investment philosophy. Methodology: Quantitative approach. Empirical foundation: Historical secondary monthly and daily data of various variables during January 1, 1996 - December 31, 2012. Conclusions: The Black Swan inv

How audiences engage with news has not always gotten a lot of attention in academic and industry research; and, even then, it is often studied in terms of exposure and interaction. This does not fully capture the dynamism and multidimensionality of this phenomenon; and industry attempts to apply market principles to engagement risks depoliticizing and reducing it to economic values. Rather than po

The entire retail industry is facing drastic changes at the moment: topics such as personalisation and omni-channel are on each management agenda. Additionally, new retail store concepts are continually popping up, and the changing role of store associates causes concerns. In particular, physical retailers are struggling on how to reinvent the physical store by changing the store’s main purpose. T

The aim of this study is to reveal how the oil-in-water interface of triolein emulsions in aqueous solutions is affected by the lipase activity when using five different surfactants as emulsifiers. For this purpose Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) and Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) were applied. Lipases are enzymes that catalyses the hydrolysis of ester bonds of lipids, i.e lipolysis, and act a

Förtätning och byggande i urbana miljöer innebär stora utmaningar för alla inblandade parter, stadens invånare, verksamheter och besökare. Låg effektivitet- och produktivitetsutveckling i byggbranschen, tillsammans med ökade miljökrav är ett par av de främsta utmaningarna. Krav på effektiv ytanvändning förutsätter en välfungerande, effektiv logistik och materialhantering, med minimal påverkan på dDensification of cities and construction in urban environments poses major challenges for all parties involved, the city's residents, businesses and visitors. Low efficiency and productivity development in the construction industry, together with increased environmental requirements are a few of the main challenges. Requirements for efficient use of surface demands efficient logistics and mate

Sommaren 2018 var ett rekordvarmt år, och en markant ökning på solkurvor konstaterades av Trafikverket. Det finns flera orsaker till varför en solkurva uppstår, förutom den ökade temperaturen. När en solkurva bildas dras slutsatsen i många fall att anledningen endast är hög temperatur och vidare undersökningar utesluts direkt. Detta examensarbete består till stor del av en litteraturstudie som bThe summer of 2018 was a hot year, a significant increase of sun curves was observed by Trafikverket. There are several reasons why a sun curve occurs, in addition to the high temperature. When a sun curve is formed, the conclusion is drawn in many cases that the reason was heat and no further investigations are made. The project consists a literature study that explains the physical theory, fac

Inom det svenska arbetsrättsliga systemet finns det huvudsakligen två typer av omplaceringssituationer. Den första är att arbetsgivare i kraft av sin arbetsledningsrätt kan omplacera arbetstagare inom ramen för deras arbetsskyldighet. Det kan ske utan att det finns någon nära förestående risk för uppsägning. Den andra är att arbetsgivare, enligt 7 § 2 stycket lagen (1982:80) om anställningsskydd, Within the Swedish labor law system, there are mainly two types of relocation situations. The first is that employers, by virtue of their management right, can relocate employees within the framework of their work obligation. This can be done without any imminent risk of termination of employment. The second is that employers, according to Section 7 Part 2 of the Employment Protection Act (1982:80

Aim: Virtual clinical trials (VCT) in medical imaging can be used to predict the outcome of clinical trials, by simulating anatomy, imaging methods and image interpretation. VCTs could reduce the cost and duration of clinical trials and their dependence on available patients. This thesis is motivated by the limitations in the field of breast cancer screening. The aim of the project is to expand a

The type of pattern recognition methods used for controlling modern prosthetics, referred to here as single-label classification methods, restricts users to a small amount of movements. One prominent reason for this is that the accuracy of these classification methods decreases as the number of allowed movements is increased. In this work a possible solution to this problem is presented by looking
