In this Master thesis project the factors affecting flame extension under flat and curved ceilings have been investigated. An experimental campaign was carried out in Lund University’s Fire Lab using a propane gas burner and heptane pool fire in different positions and heat release rates within the setups. A flame recognition Python script was developed to identify the flame length in the videos t
A fundamental principle for democracy and the rule of law is that the courts are independent and impartial, which extends to the conduct of judges and lay judges during the trial. In addition, there is the expectation of the courtroom being an unemotional setting, and seeing emotional displays in lay and professional judges could lead to a feeling of partiality in the audience. The aim of this the
The observed upper limit of the luminosity of red supergiants, often called the Humphreys-Davidson limit, has recently been shown to be independent of metallicity and to not be explainable by single star evolution – findings that both contradict established ideas of the origins of the limit. It is now known that the vast majority of stars with sufficient mass to possibly evolve into red supergiant

Digitala nomader är personer som genom distansarbete och digitala kommunikationsmedel skapar sig geografisk frihet och flexibilitet. Arbetssättet gör att personen i princip kan arbeta platsoberoende så länge en internetuppkoppling finns. Distansarbete är en ökande trend i samhället. År 2014 införde till exempel Estland ett digitalt e-medborgarskap, och blev först ut i världen med att erbjuda ett sDigital nomads are people who create geographical freedom and flexibility through teleworking and digital means of communication. The working method means that the person can, in principle, work independently as long as there is an internet connection. Teleworking is a growing trend in society, and, for example, Estonia introduced a digital e-citizenship in 2014 and became the first in the world t
This study investigates the potential for sustainable building practices in the sub-Saharan regional context, using small- and medium-scale sandcrete block production in Tanzania as a case study.

Huvudsyftet med föreliggande uppsats var att studera sambandet mellan deltagande och engagemang i studentnationer och studenters känsla av sammanhang (KASAM) utifrån ett hälsofrämjande perspektiv. KASAM har i tidigare studier visats gynnas av stödjande sociala relationer och miljöer samt har en positiv effekt på psykisk hälsa.

Möjligheten att beviljas uppehållstillstånd på grund av anknytning har sedan länge varit möjligt enligt det svenska regelverket. Systemets baksida är att den anhöriges uppehållstillstånd är beroende av anknytningspersonen varför en inlåsningseffekt kan uppstå vid våldsutsatthet. Som i ett försök att mildra reg-lernas negativa följder har lagstiftaren infört en skyddsregel som möjliggör att fortsatThe possibility of being granted a residence permit on the basis of affiliation has long been possible under Swedish legislation. The downside of the sys-tem is that the family member's residence permit is dependent on the person to which he/she are affiliated with, so a lock-in effect can arise in cases of vio-lence. In an attempt to mitigate the negative consequences of the regulation, the l

The aim of this thesis is to illuminate, from a Catholic view, the role of different ethical theories in the formulations of, and proposed solutions to, the problem of evil. More specifically, what happens to the problem when applying a Catholic ethic, à la the moral theologian Germain Grisez, to God is examined. This is done by first analyzing which ethical assumptions lie behind the various form
2024 marks the second anniversary of the Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The war has resulted in large numbers of Ukrainian refugees entering EU member states, including Germany. As far-right parties are on the rise across Europe, the topic of immigration is high on the political agenda again. Mainstream right and far right parties are competing for the discursive upper hand on the top
Det har länge diskuterats om klimatförändringen som ett symptom på förhöjda utsläpp av växthusgaser orsakar några effekter. Ett resultat av årtionden av ökade växthusgasutsläpp är nu att effekterna av klimatförändringen kraftigt visar sig. Varmare väder, oregelbundet regn och kraftigare stormar är bara några exempel på effekterna som utsläpp av växthusgaser orsakar. När en individ får sin fastighe
The Ararat Valley, being the cereal basket of Armenia and Turkey, is in danger with over-abstracted groundwater, which already induces colossal water loss and land subsidence. In the current work, advanced remote sensing techniques and machine learning models are applied to predict subsidence and give datadriven recommendations to effect sustainable water management. The tracking of terrain change
