An ongoing trend the last couple of years has been the intense reporting of an increased amount of deliberate vehicle fires in Sweden. As the overall assumption in society is that the number of deliberate vehicle fires is steadily increasing, a statistic model trying to investigate this was made. In 1998, the share of deliberate car fires were estimated to 12%, the same number in 2015 was 38%, ind

Since the early 1980’s and up until today many organizations have realized the importance of paying more and more attention to the effective strategic planning of the information systems resources. There are several reasons for this that where recognized by Pyburn (1983), one was the high speed of technological progress both in regards to IT and Telecoms facilities. Another key factor, which is ve

The quantum cascade laser (QCL) is a semiconductor heterostruc- ture using inter sub-band transitions to generate stimulated emission. The quantum cascade detector (QCD) is a similar to the QCL, but the heterostructure is tailored to absorb radiation and give a read-out current. In this work, three planned or realised QCL:s and two QCD:s have been simulated and analysed using a program based on th

Det skånska landskapet har sedan 1800talet varit starkt påverkat av lantbruket. Åar har rätats ut, fördjupats och kulverterats, vilket i kombination med en ökad gödsling har lett till ökat näringsläckage som gett konsekvenser i form av minskad biologisk mångfald och övergödning. Ett sätt att minska övergödningen är att anlägga vallbesådda skyddszoner längs vattendrag. Lantbrukare kan få ersättningThe landscape of Scania in southern Sweden has been heavily influenced by agriculture since the 1800s. Rivers have been straightened, deepened and culverted which in combination with increased fertilization has had consequences such as loss of biodiversity and eutrophication. One way to reduce eutrophication is to construct grass seeded buffer zones along watercourses. Farmers can receive compensa

Facit var ett välkänt företag med världsomspännande verksamhet med bl.a. stor och lönsam tillverkning av mekaniska räknemaskiner. I början på 70-talet drabbades Facit av en överraskande kris som ledde till omfattande struktur-omvandling och personalnedskärningar. Syftet med denna uppsats var att undersöka om man kan finna paralleller mellan förvarningsprocesser på nationell nivå och det som utspel

Under 2012 kom 514 anmälningar in till diskrimineringsombudsmannen gällande etnisk tillhörighet.

When designing control systems for real applications, it is important to first do testing in a simulated environment, to ensure adequate performance. This is especially important when designing control systems for applications that have high operation costs, e.g., submarines, since late errors in the development can be extremely costly. Saab develops steering systems for submarines. Prior to this

In the wake of the electronic revolution digital library has become one of the central themes concerning libraries. The present study takes up the question whether digital library can function in the same way as the conventional library. The question can obviously be posed from different perspectives, e.g. technological-, the user-, or the organizational perspective. The study investigates if (and

Since the middle of the 1980’s this trend has become more and more dependent on China’s private firms. China’s private firms are much more effective than their counterpart state-owned enterprises. Despite this fact, private firms are still treated very
