Configuration management (CM) includes synchronizing and supporting developers in their common development and maintenance of a system. The rapid development of the Internet and time-to-market pressure affects software development. In order to utilize skilled personnel despite geographical location, groups of developers are now working all over the world on the development of common systems, a sit
Today, commercially used brasses commonly contain 2 to 4 wt.% lead. As the availability of low-lead and lead-freebrass increase, there are environmental incentives for investigating the consequences of replacing thelead-containing brasses with lead-free equivalents. Generally, lead-free brass is expected to have a lowermachinability than its lead-alloyed counterpart, implying a higher manufacturin
Population-based metaheuristic algorithms are powerful tools in the design of neutron scattering instruments and the use of these types of algorithms for this purpose is becoming more and more commonplace. Today there exists a wide range of algorithms to choose from when designing an instrument and it is not always initially clear which may provide the best performance. Furthermore, due to the nat
Abstract in Danish Amning har sundhedsmæssige fordele for mor og barn og mere udtalte fordele for præmature børn, men udenlandske undersøgelser viser, at færre præmature børn påbegynder amning, og færre præmature børn ammes i 4 og 6 måneder sammenlignet med mature børn. Der findes ikke danske undersøgelser om andelen af præmature børn, som påbegynder amning, men en dansk undersøgelse viser, at 60 Breastfeeding has even more pronounced health benefits for preterm infants than for full-term infants, but preterm infants are less breastfed. There is no consensus in Danish neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) about which clinical methods facilitate breastfeeding. Skin-to-skin contact between infant and parent is the first step in the breastfeeding process for preterm infants, but studies of to

A comparative study of two different systems for evaluation. Scandinavian Journal of Psychology. As with any type of treatment the requirement for evidence based practice (EBP) has also affected art therapy (AT) when used as an interve
Gasoline partially premixed combustion (PPC) has the potential of high efficiency and simultaneous low soot and NOx emissions. Running the engine in PPC mode with high octane number fuels has the advantage of a longer premix period of fuel and air which reduces soot emissions. The problem is the ignitability at low load and idle operating conditions. In a previous study it was shown that it is po
Popular Abstract in English The two most used building materials in harbor structures are undoubtedly steel and concrete. These two materials are often combined in the structures of wharfs and quays where most steel sheet pile walls have cap beams of reinforced concrete. The degradation processes of these structures must be taken into account both when designing new structures and when inspecting The two most used building materials in harbor structures are undoubtedly steel and concrete.

Since the end of the 1990s, the number of fires increases dramatically in the city of Malmö. Between 1998 and 2009, the increase was 215 percent. A growing number of the fires are intentional and take place outdoors. Most of the fires are also concentrated in a limited number of neighborhoods. Furthermore, many schools are affected. Between 2000 and 2011, nearly 360 intentional fires occurred in s
There is a growing interest in the usage of social media in European museums. Research in the area is scares though. The problem is a lack of an overview on how the usage of social media is spread around Europe and on how museums use social media. Through the observation of 70 European museums and how they use different social media tools, we hope to clarify these questions. We used a three way ap
The aim of this thesis is to study the role of house prices in influencing the effect of monetary policy shocks on private consumption in five EMU member states during the period 1995Q1-2010Q4. The role of house prices may be increasingly important in effecting private consumption possibilities due to the deregulations of mortgage markets in many countries in recent years and the increasing availa

Människokroppen förändras med ökad ålder. Rörelseapparaten, där skelett, leder och muskulatur ingår, påverkas av ökad ålder och där muskulaturen är mest ansatt. Ett vardagligt moment som att resa sig upp ifrån en stol kan därför bli svårt att utföra för äldre personer med en ökad risk för att falla. Den vanligaste olyckan i hemmet är fall. Var tredje person över 65-års ålder faller minst en gång The human body changes with increasing age. The locomotor system, where skeleton, joints and muscles are included, is affected with increased age where muscles are the most affected. A casual moment as rising from a chair will therefore be difficult to perform for older people and an increased risk of falling increases. The most common accident at home is falling accidents. Every third person ove

Uppsatsen avser att undersöka den gränsdragningsproblematik som kan uppstå när avtalsparter lämnar en klausul öppen för att den vid ett senare tillfälle ska fyllas med innehåll av en tredjeman. Skillnaden mellan dessa värderingsklausuler och skiljeklausuler samt metoder för att undvika problematik med gränsdragningen är centrala frågor. Värderingsklausuler behandlas endast i samband med företagsövThis thesis intends to distinguish the demarcation problems that may arise when two parties leave an open clause, in a contract, to later be filled with content by a third party. The difference between expert valuation clauses and arbitration clauses, and how to avoid problems with demarcation are the key issues of the thesis. Expert valuation clauses will only be considered in the area of mergers
The so called honour culture and honour related violence is a globally debated subject. The honour related debate arose in Sweden in connection to the honour-killing of Fadime Sahindal in 2002. The aim of this study was to research and present the perception and view of honour cultures that different Swedish social workers may have, and, how they work with honour related cases. Furthermore, the

The purpose was to find a new concept, with focus on user friendliness and environmental sustainability, which automatically opens up for easy loading of the luggage compartment. The fabric in today's solution is made of polyester and P
The most prevalent joint disease in adults is osteoarthritis. The knee joint is the joint which is the most affected by osteoarthritis, with mechanical overloading being one of the causes. While no cure exists for osteoarthritis, many different treatment options are available. One alternative is to wear a knee brace on the affected leg. This aims to slow down the progression of osteoarthritis to p
