This master’s thesis relates to the design of prefabricated balconies. Such balconies are often designed in different ways. A separate investigation of what is technically possible regarding, among other things, supports and balcony sizes must often be performed in every project involving balconies. Three kinds of solutions are presented. These are tie rod, cantilever and column supported balconie
Flekkerøy i Kristiansand, södra Norge, består av amfibolitisk gnejs, granitisk gnejs, metagråvacka, tonalitisk gnejs och hornbländitisk mafit. Dessa har därefter genombrutits av flera generationer pegmatit och åtminstone en generation diabas. De äldsta bergartarna har troligen bildats utanför Baltica i en öbåge-miljö. Under den Sveconorwegiska fjällkedjebildningen blev bergarterna metamorfoserade The island of Flekkerøy outside Kristiansand, southern Norway, consists of meta-greywacke, amphibolitic gneiss, granitic gneiss, tonalitic gneiss, hornblenditic mafite, pegmatite and metadolerite. The oldest rocks were probably formed around 1.5 Ga in an arc environment. During the Sveconorwegian orogeny, 1.14-0.90 Ga, the rocks were folded, recrystallized and metasomatosed. The rocks are therefor
The aim of this essay is to understand the War on Terror, specifically Obama’s drone war and the torture at Abu Ghraib, through the lens of The Second Discourse (1754) by Jean Jacque Rousseau. In the process I shed new light on Rousseau’s work. Throughout the text, I argue that the War on Terror is characterised by temporal ambiguities and, furthermore, that these ambiguities can be traced to the
In this essay I analyse the debate concerning judicial review – i.e. the possibility of disregarding a legal norm due to its incompatibility with a higher norm – which has been going on in Sweden between 1828 and 1980. I assume that the debate can be divided into three different discourses, each of which constitutes a distinctive way of arguing the issue. I try to show how the different discourses
Allmänt känt hos många jurister – om inte alla – är att allmän domstol använder sig av vissa utarbetade modeller eller metoder då den har att utföra en tolkningsoperation på ett avtal. Dessa metoder underlättar för tolkaren att uppvisa enhetlighet i bedömningen så att lika avtal tolkas lika. Detta är även önskvärt då det leder till ett visst mått av förutsägbarhet. Allmänna reklamationsnämnden är Common knowledge among Swedish lawyers is that the Swedish Court – in cases regarding the interpretation of a contract – uses certain established methods for determining the proper content of that contract. These methods help the interpreter (in most cases a judge or an arbitrator) to uphold uniformity so that all cases that are alike are treated the same. These methods also help in withholding a
Railway expansion is usually associated with containing and supporting economic growth. This particular research approaches railways from the angle of technological potential. It explores whether railways can drive China towards technology-led growth, and if so, the way in which this process occurs. The study uses a theoretical framework of complementarities adjusting it to the qualitative analysi
In an attempt to bridge the gap between the multitude of individuals among consumers and the relatively few varieties of product design intended to suit these users, 'Accommodating Individuality' explores a few different theoretical approaches. Traditional and new forms of user involvement, including participatory design and menuing, are examined but found to fall short in several aspects
The European Security Strategy (ESS) developed in 2003 and the National Security Strategy of the United States of America (NSS) was issued in 2002.

Problem och syfte: Sociala medier har för företag skapat en ny kommunikationskanal till kunder. Sociala medier skiljer sig emellertid från hur kommunikation tidigare skett. Kommunikation relaterat till företag kommer inte enbart från företaget själva utan skapas av många olika parter över de sociala medierna. Att företag inte själva kan påverka allt som kommuniceras skapar även ett tydligt problem
