Like all businesses there is also an interest in the fire service to always improve the efficiency of its work. This can be done in many different ways, for example by changing the existing formation of the local rescue organization or through the continued development of current methods and equipment that firefighters use. Most rescue services across Sweden are currently using low pressure pumps
The aim of this study was to investigate the social secretaries description of their discretion. The focus was how discretion is described in relation to the Offices of Social Services as an organization. And how the social secretaries professional identity could be understood in relation to the social secretaries descriptions of their discretion. The participants were invited through a goal-orien
Miljö och klimatförändringar samt mänskliga rättigheter har länge varit uppe på den internationella agendan. På senare tid har det även uppkommit en diskussion om kopplingen mellan dessa två, framförallt om hur miljöfaktorer påverkar människor. Genom föroreningar, naturkatastrofer, industriutsläpp, med mera, kan olika miljöfaktorer bidra till en kränkning av mänskliga rättigheter. Detta har internThe environment and climate change as well as human rights have both been international concerns for a long time. Lately there has arisen a discussion about the connection between these two. The discussion has above all been about the impact that the environment has on humans. Pollution, natural disasters, industrial emissions, etc. are factors that can contribute to the violation of human rights.
This study investigates unemployment from the unemployed individuals´ perspective. Its main focus has been to portrait the experiences, feelings and attitudes of people who already have disadvantages on the labor market and has experience of unemployment. Data was collected from five different individuals who were selected on the basis of belonging to different specific groups of society that tend
Partikelfysikens standardmodell har framgångsrikt förutsagt de nu kända elementära partiklarna och deras växelverkningar. Liksom varje fysikmodell har den ett giltighetsområde. Det okända som kan tänkas inträffa utanför detta område kallas fysik bortom standardmodellen. Nya fenomen kan förväntas uppträda vid extremt höga energier, bortom de tillgängliga vid dagens kolliderare. En av de aspekter viThe non-Abelian QCD nature allows for pp collisions to contain gluon emissions off quarks as well as gluon branchings into further gluons — a structure that can be described by the parton shower model. In this project we present the results of the impact the shower has on the reconstruction of the W-boson and top quark masses using Pythia, the Lund Monte Carlo event generator. As a warm-up, the im
Kvantkromodynamik har blivit accepterad som den mest välfungerande teorin för den starka växelverkan. Vid höga energier kan kvarkarna i viss mån ses som fria partiklar och den starka kopplingskonstanten,αs, blir så pass liten att kvantkromodynamiken kan analyseras med en expansion i αs, en procedur känd som störningsteori. Denna metod fungerar inte längre vid låga energier då αs kan närma sig ett We perform a fit to three loop order (NNNLO) in Chiral perturbation theory of the pion mass and decay constant. In particular we investigate if the NNNLO fit is an improvement of the fit to two loop order (NNLO) to lattice QCD data, which was done in a lattice gauge group collaboration. We take several steps to improve our fits, one of them being the inclusion of finite volume corrections. They t
Tuberculosis (TB) and other mycobacterial infections have become more difficult to treat since the strains need to be screened for resistance. Furthermore, the half-year long treatment time could harm hepatocytes as a side effect of the treatment. This calls for discovery of new compounds for a successful treatment. One such promising peptide was recently discovered and called NZX. In this study
Multi-scale modelling is a novel approach to fire modelling in situations where the size of the domain prevents it from being modelled completely in 3D. By splitting the domain in a 1D and 3D portion multi-scale modelling allows for much faster simulations which still adhere to the correct boundary conditions. In this thesis the multi-scale methodology is applied to the LHC accelerator in use at C
Integrering av historia i fysikundervisningen har undersökts länge och i stor omfattning internationellt. Det finns ett brett stöd för att det kan ha många önskvärda effekter på elevers lärande och motivation. Denna positiva bild verkar inte delas helt av fysiklärare och det framkommer att det finns många utmaningar med att integrera fysikhistoria i undervisningen. Syftet med denna uppsats var attIntegration of history of physics (HOP) in the teaching of physics has been studied for a long time and to a great extent. There is a widespread support of the fact that history of physics can have many desirable effects on students learning and motivation. This positive picture is seemingly not shared completely among physic teachers and to implement history to the physics classroom has been show
This comparative thesis investigates in what ways municipal detailed planning of three train station areas considered perceived safety. It further examines how strengths and weaknesses in each case’s perceived safety methodology can be understood through established planning models/concepts and existing academic research on Swedish perceived safety planning. Finally, the study concludes how future
En oskriven men samtidigt stark princip inom den svenska försäkringsrätten är produktfrihetsprincipen. I korthet föreskriver principen att det är försäkringsbolagets prerogativ att fritt få utforma sin produkt. Den här friheten följer dock inte helt oväntat med en rad begränsningar, i den här uppsatsen undersöks några av de framför allt försäkringsrättsliga lagregler som inverkar på den här frihet
En effektivare överprövning av offentlig upphandling har under en längre tid varit en fråga som behandlats både i det svenska rättsväsendet och i EU. Problemet med överprövningsprocessen har främst varit att de varit att det har tagit för lång tid och resulterat till att upphandlingar har behövt göras om. Som lösning på denna problematik har frågan om preklusionsfrister behandlats i bland annat SA more effective process for review of public procurement has been a subject of discussion, both in Sweden and in the EU. The problem with the review process has mainly been that it has taken too long and has resulted in many public procurement processes having to start over. As a solution the possibility of preclusion in the public procurement process has been studied in the report SOU 2015:12 an
The communal bath has a long and complex history. While the bath in modern times is used primarily for practical and hygienic reasons, communal bathing has been a vital aspect of many cultures throughout history, serving not only as a means of hygiene but also as social and therapeutical space, promoting exchange of ideas, health and general well-being. In the context of informal settlements, ac
Telematics units are widely spreading in the automotive industry. Getting realtime data from the systems is essential for creating services in the back office which builds value for both companies and end customers. The services created greatly impact maintenance strategies, future developments, and keeping the vehicle more sustainable and secure for both end users and customers. However, adding n
A Family Office (FO) is a privately held investment entity that manages the wealth for one or more families. While contemporary research on the investment sector is plentiful, the FO sector has been largely neglected. This paper examines the role of active ownership in Swedish FOs through a qualitative study. Drawing on semi-structured interviews and written responses from executives in eight Swed
Agenda 2030 är en historisk överenskommelse mellan FN:s medlemsstater som utgår från 17 globala mål för en hållbar utveckling. Forskning har pekat ut lokala myndigheter som en viktig aktör i genomförandet av agendan, i och med dess närhet till invånarna. Detta uppdrag är dessvärre långt ifrån enkelt och verkligheten är ofta att hållbarhetsambitioner åsidosätts för att få den dagliga verksamheten iThis study aimed to investigate how a Swedish standard, developed by the Swedish Institute for Standards, can support local governments in their efforts to implement the 2030 Agenda. Local authorities have been identified as key actors in the transition towards sustainable development, making the standard a potentially valuable tool. To achieve this aim, interviews were conducted with local govern
