In large and/or complex buildings, which can contain a lot of people, it’s important to ensure that evacuation in case of fire or other threats can be performed safely. In this report, the possibility to use Microsoft Kinect v2 for evacuation is examined to determine whether it can be used to provide dynamic crowd management systems and rescue services with information. This is done by an initial

The unnecessary and disproportionate use of pre-trial detention is a global issue that affects developed and developing countries alike. According to World Prison Brief, Cambodia has ranked 12th (among 217 countries) making it become a country with one of the highest percentages of pre-trial detainees: 71.8 percent to be exact. The excessive and unnecessary use of pre-trial detention in the Kingdo

I detta examensarbete kommer sex miljöcertifieringssystem att jämföras med varandra för att se hur dessa beaktar inomhusmiljön i nybyggnationer för skolor, lokaler och bostäder. Dessutom kommer det att redovisas vilka krav och förordningar som dessa förhåller sig till för att uppnå en god inomhusmiljö samtidigt som man beaktar människans behov. Dessa miljöcertifieringssystem som kommer att jämföraIn this thesis, six environmental certification systems will be compared with each other, in order to analyze how these systems, take the indoor environment into account in new buildings for schools, premises and housing. In addition, it will be reported what requirements and regulations these relate to in order to achieve a good indoor environment while taking into account people's needs. The

To evaluate potential long-term effects of climate change and atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition on subalpine ecosystems, the coupled biogeochemical and vegetation community competition model ForSAFE-Veg was applied to a site at the Loch Vale watershed of Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado. Changes in climate and N deposition since 1900 resulted in pronounced changes in simulated plant specie

In service life modeling of concrete, the ion transport in the pore solution is crucial. The main deterioration phenomena associated with ions in the pore solution are (1) corrosion due to external chloride ions reaching the embedded reinforcement bars; (2) carbonation due to presence of dissolved carbon dioxide (which will form carbonic acid with water) supplied from the surrounding air; and (3)

The aim of this study was to investigate why some people will and can work until they are 65 year or more, and some people not either can or will. The study was built at answers from 2 000 employees within the health and medical care services. The data material was divided into three groups from the answers. Group 1 who cannot and will not work until 65 years. Group 2 who can and will work until 6

Bygg- och fastighetssektorn står för stora utsläpp av växthusgaser från byggnadsmaterial- och energianvändning. Byggbranschen står idag för ca en femtedel av Sveriges totala koldioxidutsläpp. Ett område med stor potential är byggnadsmaterial där IsoTimber är ett av företagen som driver utvecklingen framåt. IsoTimber är en relativt ny aktör inom byggsektorn som tillverkar prefabricerade väggar i trThe construction and real estate sector accounts for a large part of the emission of greenhouse gases from the usage of building material and energy. The construction industry today accounts for about one-fifth of Sweden’s total carbon dioxide emissions. One area with great potential is building materials where IsoTimber is one of the companies that drive the development forward. IsoTimber is a re

The construction industry is a major contributor to resource consumption and waste generation in the EU, making the transition to circular construction essential. Reuse of building products is an important circular strategy, but large-scale implementation is hindered by limited market maturity and uncertainty regarding product availability. This study aims to investigate the gap between reported a

The purpose of this essay ("Gateway to the Past. An archaeological quality controlled subject gateway as a resource for higher education in Lund") is to examine how a quality controlled subject gateway could increase the quality of the information supply for the Department of Archaeology and Ancient History at Lund University. The essay gives a brief background to subject gateways and al

In a complex and turbulent world, several companies begin to realize the value of information as a strategic resource and try to find strategies to manage this. This master thesis aims to describe the information management at Axis Communications AB. Axis is a fast growing company and due to this they have not been able to manage the flow of information whitin the company. To find out how the info

Denna studie syftar till att preliminärt utvärdera förändringar i risken för cyanobakteriella blomningar i en eutrof sjö, Vombsjön, som ligger i södra Sverige och testa hur näringsämnen (fosfor och kväve) påverkar algväxten. Ytvatten som sjöar har stor betydelse för dricksvattenförsörjningen, till exempel hälften av dricksvattnet i Sverige är från ytvatten. Enligt riskmatrisen har Vombsjön en storThis study aims to preliminarily evaluate changes in the risk of cyanobacterial blooms in a eutrophic lake, Lake Vombsjön, in the southern Sweden and test the role of nutrients (phosphorus and nitrogen) in algae formation. Surface water such as lakes service great importance for drinking water supply, such as half of the drinking water in Sweden is from surface water. According to risk matrix, Lak

This study concerns the management functions, institutional and legal frameworks to foster IRBM in the Yangtze River Basin. It is implemented as part of the EU China River Basin Management Programme funded by the EU.The overall objective of the study is to contribute to an enabling framework of policies, legislation and institutions that will promote IRBM in China and assist the government to harm

This paper introduces the new ForestValue research project CLICKdesign – delivering fingertip knowledge to enable service life performance specification of wood. This European consortium is working on the primary innovation to move from the complex, fragmented and general to the easy-to-use, consolidated and specific by provision of an accessible digital tool for specifiers. Competing materials ta

B cells are thought to play a central role in the pathogenesis of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody- (ANCA-) associated vasculitis (AAV). ANCAs have been proposed to cause vasculitis by activating primed neutrophils to damage small blood vessels. We studied a cohort of AAV patients of which a majority were in remission and diagnosed with granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA). Using flow cytomet

OBJECTIVES: Assessing the burden of maternal mortality is important for tracking progress and identifying public health gaps. This paper provides an overview of the burden of maternal mortality in the Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR) by underlying cause and age from 1990 to 2015.METHODS: We used the results of the Global Burden of Disease 2015 study to explore maternal mortality in the EMR count

Background and purpose - Osteoarthritis (OA) imposes a substantial burden on individuals and societies. We report on the burden of knee and hip OA in the Nordic region. Patients and methods - We used the findings from the 2015 Global Burden of Diseases Study to explore prevalence, years lived with disability (YLDs), and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) of OA in the 6 Nordic countries during

Objective: To compare consultation rate for knee osteoarthritis (OA) after meniscus repair, arthroscopic partial meniscectomy (APM), and in general population, respectively. Method: We identified patients aged 16-45 years having had meniscus surgery due to traumatic meniscus tear in 1998-2010 in southern Sweden by a healthcare register. Patients were followed from surgery until a diagnosis of knee
