COVID-19 was declared a world-wide pandemic in 2020, consequently affecting societies all around the globe. This thesis investigates one of these effects, namely how the pandemic affected occupant loads in office buildings and its subsequent effect on fire evacuation. Occupant load is one of many important factors when designing a building in regard to its fire safety, as it is a key component in

This bachelor thesis examines the relationship between two buildings situated at Universitetsholmen in Malmö: Tornhuset (1910) and its modern extension Urban Hinges (2015). Together, the two buildings form World Maritime University. The modern extension has received a great deal of attention, both positive and negative, in traditional as well as in social media. Several statements suggest that vi
In 2014 during an organisational restructuring of Sony Electronics in Lund, an ongoing inhouse project to develop a resource management software was rushed to completion. The software had at the time been in active development by a team of software engineers for over a year but was quickly brought to completion to meet the new directives. Without clear product ownership and review, the softwa
Research question: "How do young women construct and perform aspirational identities through the Clean Girl aesthetic on digital platforms?" Purpose: The purpose of this study is to expand the understanding of how trendy aesthetics on digital platforms like TikTok shape users’ identity construction and self-performance. Theoretical perspective: Two main theoretical fields, aspirational

The expected distributions of eclipse-depth versus period for eclipsing binaries of different luminosities are derived from large-scale population synthesis experiments. Using the rapid Hurley et al. BSE binary evolution code, we have evolved several hundred million binaries, starting from various simple input distributions of masses and orbit-sizes. Eclipse probabilities and predicted distributio
Three-dimensional numerical simulations with CO5, a newradiation hydrodynamics code, result in a dynamic, thermally bifurcatedmodel of the non-magnetic chromosphere of the quiet Sun. The 3D modelincludes the middle and low chromosphere, the photosphere, and the topof the convection zone, where acoustic waves are excited by convectivemotions. While the waves propagate upwards, they steep
Complete mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) control regions (CR) were sequenced and analysed in order to investigate wild sheep taxonomy and the origin of domestic sheep (Ovis aries). The dataset for phylogenetic analyses includes 63 unique CR sequences from wild sheep of the mouflon (O. musimon, O. orientalis), urial (O. vignei), argali (O. ammon) and bighorn (O. canadensis) groups, and from domestic shee
X-linked retinitis pigmentosa (XLRP) is a severe form of inherited progressive retinal degeneration. The RP3 (retinitis pigmentosa type 3) locus at Xp21.1 is believed to account for the disease in the majority of XLRP families. Linkage analysis and identification of patients with chromosomal deletion have refined the location of the RP3 locus and recently have led to the cloning of the RPGR (retin
CD40 plays a central regulatory role in the immune system and antibodies able to modulate CD40 signalling may consequently have a potential in immunotherapy, in particular for treatment of lymphomas and autoimmune disease like multiple sclerosis. As a first step to achieve this goal, we describe the selection and characterization of a novel set of fully human anti-CD40 antibody fragments (scFv) fr
In the present work the genetically modified Trichoderma reesei strain QM9414 was used to produce full-length Ce17B (endoglucanase I, EGI) under the control of the constitutive Aspergillus nidulans gpdA promoter in the presence of glucose. However, the full-length Ce17B enzyme was found to be truncated to lower molecular weight components in the culture broth. Truncation of recombinant proteins pr
Despite an increasingly growth of professional guidelines, textbooks and research about ethics in health care, awareness about ethics in Danish physiotherapy private practice seen vague. This article explores how physiotherapists in Danish private practice, from an ethical perspective, perceive to practice physiotherapy. The empirical data consists of interviews with twenty-one physiotherapists. T
We report on the study of six similar buildings built in an area of Gothenburg, Sweden,in 1971, which are now in urgent need of renovation. However, the owner of thebuildings - a municipal housing company did not achieve a financially viablerenovation of the pilot project. This meant that renovation on a similar basis for theremaining five buildings would not be possible. For this reason the housi
The Van (forest) Gujjars, surviving as forest pastoralists in the central part of the Indian Himalaya, are a people who, due to their nomadic lifestyle, have since colonial rule found themselves at the margin of Indian society. This paper will look at the relationship between the Van Gujjars and their forest base in a historical perspective from colonial rule to 'conservation of nature' and the 'r
While research has been focusing on the human side of mergers and acquisitions (M&A’s), research on trust specifically is still an emerging field. Conducting M&A’s and integrating companies introduces major changes for the acquired employees, making trust a critical factor to consider and to conduct research upon. In order to gain an in-depth understanding of the phenomena of trust, we stu
This thesis work has has been done at Sensative in Lund and the goal has been to build a prototype of a product which the company then may build further upon. The product aims to combine IoT with social responsibility by preventing drowning accidents with the data that is generated and sent via the product. Based of an initial description of the product provided by Sensative, the work then was div
It is of importance for manufacturing companies to get an overview of costs associated with production. This thesis handles this subject with an emphasis on chosen cutting data as well as chosen tools since this has a large impact of the tooling cost. By modelling on cutting data available from tool manufacturers, cutting data can be implemented to test different cases in the production. This also
Tvångsomhändertagande av unga har på grund av dess ingripande karaktär länge varit föremål för samhällsdebatt. Lagen med särskilda bestämmelser om vård av unga stadgar de materiella förutsättningarna för staten att tvångsvis vårda den unge. Med tanke på att ett tvångsomhändertagande in-nebär ett allvarligt ingrepp i den personliga integriteten är det ur ett rättssäkerhetsperspektiv av avgörande beCompulsory treatment of young persons has, due to its intrusive charachter, been the subject of debate for a long time. The Care of Young Person Act states the prerequisites for the state to coercive care young in need. Considering that compulsory treatment is to be seen as a serious interference with the personal integrity, it is from a legal certainty perspective of crucial importance that the c
Inom svensk straffrätt är uppsåt det huvudsakliga skuldkravet för straffrättsligt ansvar. Oaktsamhetsansvar är ett outtalat undantag som fångar upp handlingar vilka, trots att de inte genomförts med flit, anses så klandervärda att de motiverar ett straff. I takt med att samhällsvärderingar utvecklas uppkommer frågan vilka skyddsintressen som värderas tillräckligt högt för att skyddas med alla medeIn Swedish criminal law intent is seen as the main culpability form and negligence is punishable only if it is specifically stated. Regarding some crimes this construction is a problem since the law give room for blameworthy but not criminalized actions. The crime rape is regulated in 6 chapter 1 § in the Swedish Penal Code. To be sentenced for rape with todays legislation, it must have been comm
