Pluvial flooding is a problem in many cities and for city planning purpose the mechanisms behind pluvial flooding are of interest. Previous studies seldom use insurance claim data to analyse city scale characteristics that lead to flooding. In the present study, two long time series (∼20 years) of flood claims from property owners have been collected and analysed in detail to investigate the mecha

Popular Abstract in Swedish Föreliggande arbetes övergripande syfte är att visa på faktorer/begrepp viktiga för en motiverande grundskolemiljö med fokus på klassrummet då analysen baseras på läroplansmålsättningar. Mer differentierade och explicit uttryckta syften för detta arbete utgörs inledningsvis av att dels undersöka hur elever och skolledare uppfattar att skolan uppnått målen i läroplan förThe prime purpose of the work in hand is to present factors/concepts important in generating a motivating environment in our compulsory school system, with a focus on the classroom, the analysis being based on the goals stated in the national curriculum. Expressed in greater and more explicit detail, the purpose of this study was initially to a)investigate how pupils and school principals perceive

In this work we have fabricated and studied hybrid organic-inorganic nanocomposite system formed by gold nanoparticles self-assembled in organic semiconductor thin film - copper tetrafluorophthalocyanine (CuPcF4). By means of Photoelectron Spectroscopy and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) the evolution of the morphology and electronic structure of the system as a function of nominal gold con

Due to their efficiency, revitalized traditional techniques for irrigation management of scarce water resources have been suggested as a way to at least partially cope with the present water crises in the Middle East. A better irrigation management includes re-using treated wastewater in agriculture. Treated wastewater should also be used in industrial processes, thus contributing to a more effici

The aim of this study was to investigate how older people are described as victims in the morning and evening press in Sweden. The aim was further to make a brief comparison of how it looked at 25-year intervals during the periods 1991-1992 and 2016-2017 to see if and how the victim discourse has changed. The three issues I assumed were: how older people exposed to crime are presented in Swedish p

Henry James had a thirty-year-long relationship with the city of Venice, which made it possible for him to develop a profound knowledge of the city's architecture and art. James's interest in 'The Floating City' is reflected in three of his works that are set there, namely, "Travelling Companions" (1870), The Aspern Papers (1888) and The Wings of the Dove (1902). This ess

When a sliding door is opened there is a sudden current peak that the electric network is subjected to. As a result of this it is difficult to design a power supply that operates the door with adequate performance while still maintaining a low power rating. In the current solution the power rating is designed for the sudden peaks and as there is no buffer of energy everything has to be taken direc

Skatteverket uppmärksammade i en promemoria 2008 att det i stor utsträckning förekom skatteplanering med ränteupplägg. Skatteflyktlagen var inte tillämplig i dessa fall enligt regeringsrätten och Sverige valde att införa ränteavdragsbegränsningsregler 2009. Reglerna utvidgades 2013 för att den svenska bolagsskattebasen inte skulle urholkas. Till följd av Sveriges internationella åtaganden ändradesSwedish tax authorities discovered in a memo in 2008 that tax planning with deduction of interest were used in significant extent. The swedish tax avoidance law “Skatteflyktlagen” wasn’t applicable to these cases according to the supreme administrative court and Sweden choose to introduce interest limitation rules in 2009. The interest limitation rules were expand in 2013 in purpose to protect the

Vägar är en onekligen central del i vårt globala samhälle. De betyder kontakt och förflyttning för oss, men för djuren är dem ofta hinder vilket kan leda till att habitat fragmenteras och att djur isoleras. När djuren isoleras kan de inte nå nya resurser eller nya habitat, eller hitta en partner. Detta kan innebära att djuren får sämre överlevnadschanser och svårare att fortplanta sig. I värsta fa

Limited access to formal banking leaves large shares of the population in developing countries underbanked or unbanked. One tool believed to enhance financial inclusion is the financial service mobile money, which has spread quickly especially in Africa. The mobile service offers payment, transfer and banking services to low rates and without the need of a bank account. In Lesotho, mobile money wa

År 1997 populariserades begreppet personligt varumärkesbyggande. Sedan dess har vår värld förändrats, och förändras fortfarande, med hjälp av teknologi, digitalisering och sociala medier. Att bygga och hantera sitt personliga varumärke är något som idag till stor del sker online. De som anses röra sig bekvämt och vant på sociala medier kallas digital naturals. Mot denna bakgrund ämnar studien utviIn 1997, the concept of personal branding was popularized. Since then our world has changed, and is still changing, with the use of technology, digitization and so-cial media. Constructing and managing one's personal brand is something that to-day largely occurs in the online environment. Those who are considered comfor-table in, and accustomed to, the social media environment are referred to

Alla är vi barn i början. Med stigande ålder utvecklas förmågan att skilja på vad som är rätt och fel. Unga personer har begränsade möjligheter att bedöma risker och överblicka konsekvenserna av olika beslut. Likväl kan skadeståndsskyldighet bli aktuellt redan i ett tidigt skede av livet. Det civilrättsliga regelverket har en betydligt tuffare inställning till barns ansvar än vad straffrätten har.We all start out as children. The ability to distinguish between what is right and wrong develops with increasing age. Young people have a limited capability to assess risks and foresee the consequences of their decisions. Despite this, liability for damages can become a matter at an early stage of life. The regulations of civil law have a much tougher approach to children’s responsibility than th

I Sverige finns en åldersgräns på 18 år för att ingå äktenskap men det finns ändå barn under 18 år i Sverige som är gifta. De gifta barnen har ingått barnäktenskap utomlands. Äktenskapen har erkänts som giltiga i Sverige om makarna saknade anknytning till Sverige när äktenskapen ingicks. Diskussioner har förts om att regleringen av erkännande av utländska barnäktenskap måste ändras för att skyddetThe age limit for getting married in Sweden is 18 years. Yet there are children under the age of 18 in Sweden who are married. The children have gotten married abroad. The marriages have been recognized as valid in Sweden if the spouses had no connection to Sweden when the marriages were entered. Discussions have been held about that the regulation of recognition of foreign child marriages needs t

The aim of this study is to examine how the need for belonging and search for an identity manifest themselves in the autobiographical works of two gay contemporary writers: Abdellah Taïa and Édouard Louis. Both authors have, during their childhood and adolescence, been confronted with a society that tried to exclude them for being ‘different’ and not fitting in the heterosexual norm. Suddenly, the

Uttrycket “övervakningssamhälle” är något som det talas om mer och mer. Vilket inte är så konstigt då många allmänna platser ofta är övervakade med antingen film eller ljudupptagning. Att kunna identifiera individer som på något sätt har brutit mot lagen eller förutse oönskade situationer är något som stärker vår säkerhet och ordningen i samhället. I många länder ses detta som helt nödvändigt och This report describes the product development process of a new product series of camera housings, adapted for modular applications. The purpose of the project was to develop a module containing a wiper, adapted for outdoor camera housings. The master thesis was performed at Axis Communications AB, a leading company in the surveillance camera industry. The camera housings of outdoor surveillance ca
