There is limited information about the behavior and movement of people in case of fire evacuation in smoke-filled environments, and there is limited guidance on how peoples’ walking speed in smoke can and should be represented in the fire safety design process. In this report, a literature review within this area, and a subsequent recommendation on how to represent walking speed in both smoke-free

As Covid-19 affects millions of people worldwide, the global health care will encounter an increasing burden of the aftermaths of the disease. Evidence shows that up to a fifth of the patients develop fibrotic tissue in the lung. The SARS outbreak in the early 2000 resulted in chronic pulmonary fibrosis in a subset (around 4%) of the patients, and correlated to reduced lung function and forced exp

Abstract Perforations are one of Tetra Paks oldest inventions of how to open their carton packages. They have been a part of Tetra Briks product portfolio for over 30 years and quality testing is important. Bad openability, with plastic residues covering the torn hole, is a problem that needs to be addressed. When tearing a package with perforation all people do it differently. By using a mechan

Självkonkordansmodellen (The Self-Concordance Model) postulerar att autonom målsättning är en primär drivkraft för välbefinnande. Standardiserade mätmetoder sammanblandar dock ofta närvaron av autonomi med frånvaron av yttre press genom användandet av 'relativa' differenspoäng. Denna studie använde ett aggregerat dataset (N = 429) för att systematiskt pröva två konkurrerande modeller: en BThe Self-Concordance Model posits that autonomous goal pursuit is a primary driver of well-being, yet standard measurement practices often conflate the presence of autonomy with the absence of external pressure via 'relative' difference scores. This study utilized a high-powered dataset (N = 429) to systematically test between a Balance Model (where meaning arises from the net difference b

The adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies has become increasingly relevant in everyday life, yet empirical evidence from non-WEIRD countries remains limited. This thesis examined psychological factors associated with the general intention to use AI in Guatemala using the Technology Acceptance Model 3 (TAM3) as a guiding framework. Data were collected through a cross-sectional surve

Problematisering: Event som fenomen har under de senaste decennierna fått stor genomslagskraft och har kommit att bli ett populärt forum för skapande av nya tjänsterelationer och affärsmöjligheter. Forskningen kring event ur ett utvecklingsperspektiv är knapp. Vi ser därmed en möjlighet i att bidra med förbättrad kunskap kring tidsmässig eventutveckling genom att plocka in ett tjänsteutvecklingspe

Syfte Syftet med uppsatsen är att från ett processperspektiv analysera de specifika utmaningar ett företag möter vid sourcing av sina strategiska inköp i Kina. Vi vill även undersöka hur ett företags förutsättningar och syfte med sourcingen påverkar valet av sourcingmetod. Vi avser sedan att studera hur valet av sourcingmetod påverkar företagets förutsättningar att hantera dessa utmaningar och där

Interpretations of the term Corporate Social Responsibility are many, but academics have achieved approximate consensus about what it consists of. An issue that started off as an interest- and motive-based activity for businesses is becoming more commonplace and has increased in importance over time. Governments have a role to play in ensuring that corporations behave according to the rules and no

Försäljning av alkohol har varit reglerat under mycket lång tid i Sverige. Den nuvarande regleringen kan spåra sina rötter till 1800- talets mitt och även om reglering förändrats över tiden så är försäljning av alkohol fortfarande starkt reglerad. Alkoholagens syfte är att begränsa alkoholens skadeverkningar. En konsekvens av alkoholagens syfte är att det ställs hög krav på den som vill bedriva seThe sale of alcohol has been regulated for a very long time in Sweden and the origin of the current regulations can be traced to the middle of 1900 century. The nature of these regulations have changed a great deal overtime but the sale of alcohol remains heavily regulated. The main purpose of the Swedish alcohol law “alkohollagen” is to limit the damages caused by alcohol use and as a consequence

Vietnam has undergone unprecedented changes in its recent history, and has become increasingly exposed to global processes due to its deepened integration into the international economy and the large scale investment by the international community in its development process. Remarkable progress has been made over the past twenty five years, however new challenges have emerged and the solutions to

This thesis identifies and evaluates business model alternatives for Oceanbird’s Wing 560 rigid sail, a wind-assisted ship propulsion technology approaching broader commercialisation. The shipping industry’s complex ownership structures create split-incentive problems that complicate investment in fuel-saving technologies, making the choice of business model a strategic decision. Furthermore, the

Peacebuilding through the use of disarmament, demobilisation, and reintegration (DDR) programmes is implemented in many post-conflict settings. One factor concerning DDR processes is national ownership, defined as national authority over the planning and implementation of DDR. The necessity of national ownership is debated, with some arguing that national ownership is crucial throughout the DDR pr
