The sound decay curve, measured by either the interrupted noise method or the Schroeder method, can provide relevant information pertaining to a room’s acoustical properties. However, the relevant information is not always readily extractable from the measurements. In this study, measurements of the decay curves of the historically important Vadstena Abbey church in Sweden have been obtained using
This thesis describes how software for automated bidding on for example auction sites could function. The thesis is divided into three parts. The elements are composed of: • Collecting bid data from the website that the auction is held on and pass the raw data to the main application for further processing. • A graphical presentation of the auction data is shown divided into individual auctions in
Min undersökning går ut på att undersöka vilken påverkan symfonisk spelmusik kan ha på ungdomars musiksmak. Under en sonderande undersökning upptäckte jag att onlinespelet World of Warcraft var vanligt förekommande bland unga spelare och eftersom detta spel har symfonisk musik baserar jag min undersökning på World of Warcraft.

Ett geoenergisystem består av ett eller flera borrhål, energibrunnar, som via värmeväxlare är kopplade till en värmepump. I en del fall är det önskvärt att borrhålen återfylls. Detta görs för att förhindra spridning av föroreningar från ytan och mellan olika akvifärer som borrhålet kan kortsluta. Utomlands görs detta regelbundet och omfattande forskning har bedrivits på området. I Sverige saknar dA shallow geothermal energy system consists of one or several boreholes connected to a heat pump through borehole heat exchangers. In some circumstances it’s desirable that the boreholes are grouted. This is carried out primarily to reduce the risk of contaminants being transported from the surface and between aquifers that the borehole penetrates. In the USA and Germany grouting is regularly perf

Föreliggande studie har undersökt psykologyrkets inverkan på privatlivet, samt hur psykologer skiljer mellan det privata jaget och jaget i rollen som psykolog. Ett delsyfte var att få fördjupad förståelse för vilka föreställningar och förväntningar som psykologrollen inbegriper. Det finns få tidigare studier inom ämnet varför en explorativ ansats har valts. Semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördesThe aim of the present study was to examine how working as a psychologist can affect the private life and how psychologists manage to separate the private self from the self in the role of the psychologist. A secondary aim was to explore ideas and expectations on the role of a psychologist. There were few prior studies in the area why an explorative approach was chosen. Semi-structured interviews
Uppsatsens syfte var att utreda huruvida kriminalisering av narkotikabruk var att betrakta som godtagbart ur ett strikt rättsteoretiskt perspektiv. Den svenska narkotikastraffrätten har vuxit fram över lång tid, men har under det senaste halvseklet kommit att innehålla strängare straff och vidgat omfång. Länge ansågs kriminalisering av bruk inte vara önskvärt, något som dock skedde i slutet av 19The purpose of this thesis has been to find out whether criminalization of drug use is acceptable from a jurisprudential perspective. The Swedish criminal legislation regarding drugs has developed over some time. For the last half decade, the scope of the law has broadened and punishments have become harsher. For a long time, criminalization of drug was not deemed necessary, but a law to that exte
Den här uppsatsen tar sikte på de historiska förändringar av apoteksprivilegiet som urholkade apotekarnas ensamrätt att bedriva apoteksverksamhet. Uppsatsen undersöker också dessa förändringar i förhållande till förstatligandet av apoteken som ägde rum 1970 samt perioden som föregick det. Apotekaryrket har historiskt haft en särskild ställning i förhållande till andra yrkeskategorier.

In order to do so, process tracing and document analysis
Upphovsrätten utmanas ständigt av nya teknologiska fenomen. På senare tid har den tekniska utvecklingen möjliggjort att alster som tidigare var beroende av mänskligt skapande kan åstadkommas genom mer eller mindre automatiserade processer. I denna kategori finner vi kamerafällor som förenklat kan beskrivas som kameror som antingen ställs in för att ta fotografier konstant eller vid ett visst tidsiCopyright law is constantly challenged by new technological phenomena. Recently, new technology has enabled the making of creations through more or less autonomous processes. Some of these creations were previously dependent on human creativity for its existence. Situated in this category are camera traps. Camera traps can somewhat simplified be explained as cameras that are either set to take pic
We measured the thyrotropin response (delta TSH) to 200 micrograms of thyroliberin in 131 subjects without thyroid dysfunction or other disease and with basal values for thyroid function that were within the normal reference intervals for our laboratory. By univariate and multivariate statistical methods we found delta TSH to be significantly influenced by the basal concentration of thyrotropin (T
