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

Online activities can serve as tools for criminal opportunities and arenas for victimhood, but they can also function as reality constructions embedded in social control. One example of the latter is online sleuthing, primarily focused on dramatizing and disentangling offline crimes. This article relies on data from an ethnographic project conducted on the Swedish platform Flashback and analyzes p

Objective To determine the diagnostic performance of ultrasound-based simple rules, risk of malignancy index (RMI), two logistic regression models (LR1 and LR2) and real-time subjective assessment by experienced ultrasound examiners following the exclusion of masses likely to be judged as easy and 'instant' to diagnose by an ultrasound examiner, and to develop a new strategy for the assessment of

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,

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

Previous research in the area of leadership and stress has shown that the leader plays an important role but in what way is still an issue to explore. A qualitative approach was used in this study to develop an increased understanding of the leader's experience of stress using four themes; leadership, stress, control and organizational factors. A total of 12 semi-structured and un-structured i

The meaning of the doctrine of equal value is that balance must exist between the performances of the contracting parties. The doctrine can be divided into two parts, the original imbalance and imbalance that has arisen. The original imbalance means that the imbalance already existed when the contract was concluded. Instead, imbalance that has arisen means that the imbalance arose after the contra

This thesis is about the risk management of banks and how changes in regulatory capital charges can affect a borrower in the Swedish capital market. The thesis takes the perspective of a borrower but also explains how banks are affected by changes in regulatory capital requirements. The main focus is on changes in a borrower's situation and each of the parts in this presentation is intended to

Sammanfattning Idag ökar mängden information hela tiden. Mycket av informationen finns bara i elektronisk form och därför har elektronisk bevisning blivit allt vikti-gare. E-post är en form av elektronisk bevisning som har blivit ett alltmer betydelsefullt kommunikationsmedel och är en viktig del av såväl privat- som affärsliv. Det utgör ett snabbt och lättillgängligt kommunikationssätt som på månThe amount of information is constantly increasing, much of which is only available in electronic form.

Brottet våldtäkt är en företeelse i svensk straffrätt som engagerar många och det skapas ofta starka reaktioner när media rapporterar om friande våldtäktsdomar. Våldtäktsparagrafen har ändrats ett flertal gånger genom åren och den senaste lagändringen trädde i kraft den 1 juli 2013. Vi fick då ett nytt begrepp i svensk rätt när ”särskilt utsatt situation” ersatte den tidigare lydelsen ”hjälplöst tThe offence rape is a phenomenon in Swedish criminal law that engages many people and often creates vivid reactions when media reports about verdicts of acquittal in cases involving rape. The rape section has been changed at multiple times over the years. The last change entered into force July 1, 2013 when the new concept ”particularly vulnerable situation” (”särskilt utsatt situation”) replaced

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

The Swedish rules in RB 46 Ch. 15 a sets out a framework for when the courts can hold a main hearing in the absence of the accused. The rule is aimed at situations where the accused is deliberately evading court but also when the accused, for unknown reasons, is not present. The paragraph is intended to increase the efficiency of the court as well as to decrease the number of cancelled hearings by

Narkotika har sedan 1960-talet utgjort ett allvarligt samhällsproblem i Sverige. En skyndsam utbredning har varit en bidragande faktor till stor del av den grova brottsligheten i landet. På 1970-talet infördes målet om ett narkotikafritt samhälle i Norden, vilket sedan dess varit ledande för Sverige. Utmärkande för Sveriges narkotikapolitik är ett strängt och restriktivt förhållningssätt. Ett narkDrugs were noted as a serious public issue in Sweden during the 1960s with its accelerated expansion and conduciveness to heavy criminality. During the 1970s, the drug policy towards a drug free society was introduced in the Nordic region, and is still today advocated in Sweden. The drug policy in Sweden is known for the severe and restrictive approach. The drug policy has characterized the Swedis
