A rational, analytical approach to a fire engineering design of load-bearing steel structures is described. The method of design is directly based on the natural compartment fire concept and on strictly defined functional requirements and performance criteria. The method is permitted to be generally applied in Sweden, as one alternative, since about ten years. For facilitating the practical applic

In this chapter, the advantages and disadvantages of 3D fast spin echo (FSE) pCASL as a measure of brain tumor perfusion are reviewed. In addition, we compare pCASL with other perfusion techniques and discuss future ASL approaches. A prospective study of 28 patients with contrast-enhancing brain tumors was performed at 3 T using dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) MRI and pCASL. The visual quali

We wanted to test whether living environment, occupation and social position are risk factors for asthma and chronic bronchitis/emphysema (CBE). The prevalence of bronchial asthma, CBE, respiratory symptoms and smoking habits in a random sample of 12,071 adults aged 20-59 years was assessed in a postal survey with a slightly modified questionnaire previously used in central and northern Sweden (Th

The effect of pH on the kinetics of the bioelectrocatalytic reduction of H2O2 catalysed by horseradish peroxidase (HRP) has been studied at –50 mV vs. AgjAgCl on HRP-modified Au electrodes placed in a wall-jet flow-through electrochemical cell. Native HRP (nHRP) and a nonglycosylated recombinant form containing a six-histidine tag at the C-terminus, CHisrHRP, produced by genetic engineering of non

Right ventricular heart rupture is a devastating complication associated with negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) following cardiac surgery. The use of a rigid disc has been suggested to offer protection against this lethal complication by preventing the heart from being drawn up towards, and damaged by, the sharp sternum edges. The aim of the present study was to compare the wound fluid evacua

Popular Abstract in Swedish Cafeterian i Malmö Musikhögskola förvandlas två gånger om året till de passionerades mötesplats: När terminens ”Gambiastudenter” återvänder efter sina tre veckors fältarbete och skola med palmer som klassrumsväggar, möts de av veteranerna, de som redan varit där och som förstår att tolka entusiasmen. Det handlar inte om den vitalitet som alstrats av solen, färgerna och The present study seeks to examine attitudes to teaching and learning among jalis in the Gambia. Although this is the main focus, the horizon of which the study is carried out, analysed and discussed, is the development of music teacher education in Sweden during the last three decades, and of which I have been a participant. The intention of the study is to expand current views on music teaching

This is a biography of Allvar Gullstrand (1862-1930) on the occasion of the centennial of his 1911 Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine. We reviewed pertinent literature and we did archival studies at the Uppsala University Library and the Regional State Archives at Lund as well as the Nobel Archives at the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in Stockholm. Allvar Gullstrand was a brilliant scientis

Problemställning: Cementproduktionen står idag för ca 5% av världens koldioxidutsläpp, vilket har stor negativ påverkan på klimatet. För att minska utsläppen behöver cementanvändningen reduceras genom t.ex. ersätta cement med andra material, såsom flygaska, mald granulerad masugnsslagg och kalcinerad lera. Syfte: Syftet är att undersöka den maximala vol.% cement som kan ersättas med flygaska, slaProblem: The production of cement stands today for approximately 5% of the world total emission of carbon dioxide, which has negative impact on the environment. In order to reduce the emission, the use of cement has to be reduced by e.g. replacing some of the cement with other materials. Purpose: The purpose is to find the maximum amount of fly ash, slag and calcined clay that can be used in conc

Numeriska implementeringar av GMRES-metoden för minimering av residualer: För att förstå exakt vad som händer när, till exempel, luft strömmar över en flygplansvinge eller när vatten flyter kring ett fartygsskrov, behövs omfattande datorberäkningar. Eftersom storheter som vindhastighet, lufttryck eller temperatur kan variera redan över små avstånd, måste beräkningarna göras i små steg, vilket kräThe generalized minimal residual method (GMRES) is an iterative method used to find numerical solutions to non-symmetric linear systems of equations. The method relies on constructing an orthonormal basis of the Krylov space and is thus vulnerable to an imperfect basis caused by computational errors. There have been attempts to address this issue by devising variations of the method that are less

Vi lever i en tid av snabb teknisk utveckling. På bara några decennier har den sociala miljön förändrats drastiskt. Vi har gått från en värld där social interaktion bestod i direkt kontakt mellan två individer till en värld där en stor del av det sociala utbytet inte sker ansikte mot ansikte utan skärm mot skärm. Denna nya verklighet har medfört en intensifierad konflikt mellan två av våra mest beWe are living in a world of rapid progress. In just a few decades our social environment has developed drastically. We have progressed from a world where social interaction consisted in direct contact between individuals to a world where a significant part of the social exchange no longer happens face to face but screen to screen. This new reality has resulted in an intense conflict between two of

Stroke affects a vast amount of people every year. As a result, many survivors have at least partially lost some of their abilities which are necessary to complete everyday activities. Although rehabilitation can be used to improve those abilities, many survivors claim that conventional methods are demotivating and discouraging. The aim of this project is to develop and test interactive objects, w

Cardiac magnetic resonance is widely used to non-invasive image the heart, for both clinical and research purposes. Segmenting different parts of the heart provides important diagnostic information. Performing this task manually is time-consuming and operator dependent, hence it would be beneficial to automate this process. The aim of this thesis is to implement an algorithm to segment the right v

Alla som äger en byggnad som nyttjas av människor är skyldiga att kontrollera så att bygganden inte påverkar människorna som brukar den negativt med avseende på hälsa och miljö.

Kan ekosystemtjänster stärka hållbarhetsperspektivet i den kommunala översiktsplaneringen? Många av samhällets funktioner är direkt beroende av ekosystem i balans. Samtidigt utarmas idag den biologiska mångfalden och ekosystemens funktioner hotas, vilket riskerar att få stora negativa konsekvenser för både människa och samhälle. Vi behöver därför hitta nya sätt att ta hänsyn ekosystemens ekologisThe degradation of ecosystems and the loss of biodiversity occurs at an alarming rate. This results in an imbalance of ecosystem functions, leading to a loss of ecosystem services. Ecosystem services are benefits which humans can derive from ecosystems and their internal processes, thus vital to preserve from a societal perspective. The purpose of this study was to explore the possibilities for

This Bachelor thesis will go into depth of how the rhetorical arguments used by the Bush administration led to the justification of war against Saddam Hussien’s regime in Iraq 2003. This will be accomplished through the application of normative theory and its dif erent types of instruments, used on Bush himself and one of his colleagues in the Bush Administration, Paul Wolfowitz, who had the key i

Access to mobility and migration have become highly charged topics. Since the so-called refugee crisis in 2015 the EU has developed a holistic approach to control migration. The 2015 European Agenda on Migration is a policy which has significantly shaped mobility governance since being implemented. However, this response has been heavily criticised. The aim of this thesis is to understand how the

In recent years, regeneration has come to the attention as a better alternative to sustainability. However, with increased popularity and its vagueness around what regeneration entails, there is a need to grasp the concept better. The researchers differentiate regeneration from sustainability, highlighting that sustainability focuses on taking responsibility, while regeneration aims to create addi

Fault detection systems come in a variety of formats and are used in many different types of machines and industries. They can be used to perform fast and accurate detection, classification and analysis. The need for user interaction can be decreased and by that the general level of automation can be increased. This project has been conducted together with B\&R Automation and Imogo. B&R
