The aim of this study is to examine how dynamic way-finding systems affect risk perception for evacuating people. This was done by examining how perceived risk, choice of exit and emotional factors were affected in an evacuation experiment performed in Virtual Reality. Two scenarios were created for the experiments, one with a dynamic way-finding system and one with a static evacuation system. Thi
The aim of our research has been to identify what prevents Syncron from implementing a single item emergency ordering policy in their inventory management system, GIM. Emergency ordering is defined here as the ability to use two supply sources, a normal one and a faster more expensive emergency source. We further wanted to investigate under what circumstances an emergency ordering policy could be
Sättet som världen presenterar sig för våra sinnesorgan är genom en kontinuerlig ström av information, men vår upplevelse av den är uppdelad i diskreta händelser. Enligt eventsegmenteringsteorin är den här segmenteringen en inbyggd och automatisk del av mänsklig kognition. Omfattande forskning ger inte bara stöd åt den här teorin utan tyder också på att sättet vi delar upp händelser påverkar vårt The world presents itself to our sense organs as a continuous stream of input, yet we appear to conceive experiences in terms of discrete events. According to event segmentation theory, this segmentation is an intrinsic and automatic component of human cognition. A considerable body of research provides evidence for this claim and suggests further that the way we segment events has consequences fo
Syftet med denna tvärsnittsstudie var att undersöka barns förståelse för empatiska reaktioners relationella innebörd och om denna skiljer sig beroende på ålder, samt undersöka om samband fanns mellan denna förmåga och förmåga till socialt perspektivtagande. Undersökningen jämförde barn i grundskolans årskurs 2 (n = 15, M = 8:7 år), årskurs 5 (n = 17, M = 11:8 år) och årskurs 8 (n = 13, M = 14:10 åThis cross-sectional study explored children’s understanding of empathic reactions relational meaning and if this understanding increases with age. It also explored an association between this ability and ability for social perspective taking. Comparisons were made between second graders (n = 15, M = 8:7 years), fifth graders (n = 17, M = 11:8 years) and eighth graders (n = 13, M = 14:10 years). T
This paper aims to explore the role of the Syrian civil society in the ongoing conflict from the concept of transitional justice. Broadening the civil society understanding provides a tool to approach the overlooked social capital in the Syrian society. Exploring the approach from non-profit groups to victims, I aim to understand a possible approach to transitional justice in Syria. I argue for th
This master thesis aims to gain an understanding about how managers and members in an organization perceive observed employee silence (intentional withholding ideas at work) and attribute meanings to it. In addition, it aims to reveal, in what situations observers are not able to identify the intentional silence. Organizational culture, sensemaking and power relations and U-turn in criticism are t
A growing body of research supports stromal tumour-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) density in breast cancer to be a robust prognostic and predicive biomarker. The gold standard for stromal TIL density quantitation in breast cancer is pathologist visual assessment using haematoxylin and eosin-stained slides. Artificial intelligence/machine-learning algorithms are in development to automate the stroma
Context. Multi-planet systems are important sources of information regarding the evolution of planets. However, the long-period planets in these systems often escape detection. These objects in particular may retain more of their primordial characteristics compared to close-in counterparts because of their increased distance from the host star. HD 22946 is a bright (G = 8.13 mag) late F-type star
Incomplete taxon sampling has been a major problem in resolving the early divergences in birds. Five new mitochondrial genomes are reported here (brush-turkey, lyrebird, suboscine flycatcher, turkey vulture, and a gull) and three break up long branches that tended to attract the distant reptilian outgroup. These long branches were to galliforms, and to oscine and suboscine passeriformes. Breaking
There has been considerable interest in the directionality of resource specialisation during the diversification of lineages. We developed a quantitative method to investigate habitat specialisation in a radiation of New Zealand triplefin fishes, as habitat use appears to be an important axis of diversification in this marine group. The degree of specialisation in 15 species was calculated by comp
Europe is struggling to reduce its CO2 emissions and to fulfil commitments made according to Kyoto protocol. At the same time, Europe does not possess enough fossil energy resources to cover its needs and thus consumption of imported fossil fuels is growing, placing threats upon economic stability. In order to combat these challenges, renewable energy sources and biomass in particular are expected
This study starts from the historical view of China’s real estate industry formation and development. It is evidenced that there were no real estate industry nor real estate market in China’s long past history. China’s real estate industry was firstly emerging since the early 1980s; its development to a large extent should be attributed to the national Housing System Reform. During the 30 years de

En av de mest fundamentala principerna inom den svenska aktiebolagsrätten är det begränsade personliga ansvaret som stadgas i 1 kap. 3 § ABL. Innebörden av regeln är att aktieägare som huvudregel endast svarar för tillskjutet kapital. Tack vare ansvarsbegränsningen har investeringar i riskfyllda affärsprojekt möjliggjorts. Från huvudregeln finns dock vissa lagstadgade associationsrättsliga bestämmOne of the most fundamental principles of the Swedish company law is the limitation of the shareholders’ liability to his or her capital contribution as stated in chapter 1. Article 3 in the Swedish Companies Act. Due to the limited liability of the shareholders, investments in hazardous buisnesses have been facilitated. Furthermore, Swedish statute law provides an expanded liability for sharehold
När åtal mer eller mindre enbart vilar på målsägandens utsaga, vilket är vanligt vid våldtäktsfall där bevisningen ofta hänförs till uttryck för bristande samtycke eller bristande uppsåt, är det domstolens ansvar att värdera utsagan och avgöra om den uppfyller beviskravet. Syftet med uppsatsen är att granska och analysera hur denna värdering bör utföras samt hur den går till i praktiken. Engelsk rWhen an indictment, more or less, depends on the complainant’s testimony, as it often is in the case of rape when the evidence relates to the issue of consent or mens rea, it is up to the court to evaluate the testimony and decide whether or not it meets the standard of proof. The purpose of this paper is to examine and analyse how that evaluation should be performed and how it is currently perfor
Åtkomst till bevismaterial är avgörande för att förverkliga det straffrättsliga ansvaret. Idag är en stor del av detta bevismaterial digitalt och i syfte att skydda och hemlighålla sådan information används i allt större utsträckning kryptering. Kryptering, som enklast möjligt kan sägas utgöra den digitala versionen av att låsa in material i ett kassaskåp, innebär att man utan den särskilda dekrypBeing able to access evidence is crucial for the realisation of responsibility under criminal law. In today’s world, a large part of what can potentially be evidence is stored digitally. In order to protect and keep digital information confidential, encryption is becoming widespread. Encryption, put simply, can be said to be the digital version of locking material in a safe, and basically means th
In 1994 the Swedish Construction Code, BKR, was changed from being based on material to being based on function. This permitted constructing multi-storey buildings with a bearing framework made of wood, which had been prohibited since the end of the 19th century. There is now a growing in- terest of using wood as a construction material. In Växjö four seven-storey buildings, Limnologen, are under
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
