Det kan i dagsläget vara svårt att veta hur många som vistas i en byggnad. Detta är problematiskt sett ur räddningstjänstens perspektiv. Om räddningstjänsten under räddningsinsatser vet hur många personer som finns kvar i en byggnad samt var de befinner sig, kan räddningsinsatsen effektiviseras. Utrymningssystem som har kännedom om personers position i en byggnad medger möjlighet att i realtid vägIf during an emergency, the rescue service have knowledge of how many people are left in a building and where they are located, the rescue service’s response could be more effective and reduce the overall risk.

This thesis comprises three self-contained chapters that explore how individual behavior, incentives, and institutional frameworks shape the allocation of scarce resources, with particular emphasis on healthcare markets. The first chapter examines the impact of intrinsic truth-telling preferences on consumer welfare within a priority pricing mechanism, in which individuals can gain faster access t
The building sector, as a major consumer of energy and resources, has been slow to adopt sustainability and digitalization compared to other sectors. This dissertation investigates how digital tools, particularly computational design (CD), can support the reuse of building parts within a circular economy framework, through design for disassembly and reuse-centred design (RCD) strategies. The resea
Problem formulation: Traditional accounting and financial reports do not provide sufficient information today. New reports like the Intellectual Capital Statements are one answer to this problem. They systematically report on Intangible Assets that create value in the company. We found that external stakeholders do not use Intellectual Capital Statements in their evaluation processes. This made us
Abstract The 1st of January 2009 there will be a new discrimination law in Sweden. That means that the Parliament finally will interpret three EC-directives in there entirety. The new law means that the present discrimination laws will be merged to one law. The situation for disabled persons on the labour market has improved, since the discrimination law was founded in 1999. The Labour Court got s
The object of this essay was about youth's experiences of their possibility of consumption. We also wanted to analyze if their possibility of consumption had a connection with their experience of happiness. Another part of the object was to see if there where any differences between girls and boys concerning the questions above. One of the issues we had was if the youth's money was enough
The first purpose of this thesis is to investigate if, how, and why the perceived collective identity in the town of Karlskrona has changed. Collective identities can due to their socially constructed nature change rapidly in light of new collective experiences.

In this essay, I have studied the image of the drug abusing mother and her motherhood as seen in some of the social science literature on drug abusing women. This I did with a qualitative research design and with the questions: How is the drug abusing mother and her motherhood portrayed by social scientists? What signification is her motherhood given in her life by the researchers? What approac
The issue of possession of the air has been debated over literally thousands of years. The Romans debated the ownership of the air above their cornfields. When man finally could construct aircraft, in this case a balloon, heavier-than-air in the 1780's it did not take long before the first regulation came into force. The issue of state sovereignty had been discussed since the national states s
The main purpose of this study has been to get an insight to the Roma people’s approach to integration. By identifying different discourses in the Roma magazine É Romani Glinda, attempts were done to find patterns in how the perceptions of integration are constructed. This has been done on the basis of discourse analysis with a strong emphasis on social constructivism. Contradictions in how the co
Replicated, factorial mesocosm experiments were conducted across Europe to study the effects of nutrient enrichment and fish density on macrophytes and on periphyton chlorophyll a (chl-a) with regard to latitude. Periphyton chl-a densities and plant decline were significantly related to nutrient loading in all countries. Fish effects were significant in a few sites only, mostly because of their co
Alkaline solutions containing polyhydroxy carboxylates and Ca(II) are typical in cementitious radioactive waste repositories. Gluconate (Gluc(-)) is a structural and functional representative of these sugar carboxylates. In the current study, the structure and equilibria of complexes forming in such strongly alkaline solutions containing Ca2+ and gluconate have been studied. It was found that Gluc

This paper analyses the consequences, in Denmark between 1984 and 2006, of the implementation of the European EU Eighth Directive on the qualification of statutory auditors. Although the Eighth Directive envisaged one group of statutory auditors in each Member State, there were two groups of auditors in Denmark, and the implementation of the Directive triggered a long conflict between the two grou
The cAMP-elevating pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) stimulates insulin release in pancreatic B-cells. Here, we have investigated its potentiating action in rat insulinoma INS-1 cells. In intact cells, PACAP-27 (100 nM) stimulated glucose-induced insulin secretion by >60%. Using the patch-clamp technique with single-cell exocytosis monitored as increases in cell capacitanc
