This report contains CFD-simulations of cable tray fires in nuclear power plant applications with the CFD-code SMAFS. Furthermore the report evaluates the use of CFD-codes within this kind of problems. The assessment of this report is that there is a tendency towards the good use of CFD-codes but before using it solely more research has to be done on the subject..

The sun is essential to life on earth and no matter where you are, there is a constant need ofenergy. Nearly 800 000 years ago man learned for the first time to use fire in a controlled way.Since then, fire has given us the opportunity to inhabit places despite a cold climate. In Swedenthe resident sector accounts for a major part of the total consumption of energy. In a time whenenvironmental issues and greenhouse effects are increasing, we also see a future of rising energyprices. With this perspective, we have in this bachelor thesis in the Building Environment at theRoyal Institute of Technology, KTH, in Stockholm decided to focus on the renewable energysource, solar energy.The energy from solar radiation is a free resource and does not have any negative effects uponthe environment.

Syftet med uppsatsen var att förstå hur Ultimate Fighting Championships (UFC), en amerikansk kampsportstävling startad 1993 i USA, har legitimerat sin verksamhet, från att ha varit starkt kritiserad, till att nå framgång och internationell spridning. I sin linda under 90-talet gjorde dessa brutala, i princip oreglerade och slagsmålsliknande former, att tävlingen möttes av kritik från politiskt håll, vilket kom att hota organisationens överlevnad.UFCs legitimeringsprocess under 90-talet fram till en bit av 2000-talet visade på tydliga paralleller till boxningen, som under 1800-talet även den hotades av illegalitet. Så har också Norbert Elias och Eric Dunning, med bland annat boxningen som exempel, beskrivit hur (teorin om) civilisationens process påverkade fritidsaktiviteter till att bli vad vi idag kallar för sport. Avsnittet med historisk bakgrund över bl.a. boxning ämnar visa på dessa paralleller, med fokus på sporternas nära stundande illegalitet till förmån för en verksamhet som tvangs att bli mer reglerad och kontrollerad ? mer ?civiliserad?.Det som hotade UFC var dock inte direkt sett illegitimitet, utan utfrysning och hot från de medel som kunde styra sportens visibilitet, dvs.

Studies on wild boars have shown that piglets at 10 to 12 days of age can be introduced to pigs outside the litter without fighting. In today's production systems, the litters are kept in separate pens until weaning. At that point, the litter is divided and the piglets are placed together with piglets from other litters. This usually leads to aggressions among the piglets and may cause stress. This literature review aims to find out how piglets perceive other pigs in their surroundings.

Flamskyddande kemikalier används idag inom en hel del olika områden. Ett stort område är textil, där hemtextil är dominerande. Det finns en mängd olika typer av flamskydd på marknaden. Alla har till uppgift att sakta ner brandförloppet eller helt förhindra att en brand uppstår. De halogenerade flamskydden är de mest effektiva men har många kopplingar till miljöproblem.

En brandstation ställer specifika krav på funktionalitet och flöden - som i det här examensarbetet har fått generera rumsligheter och arkitektoniska händelser. Brandbilarna står uppradade i ett stort och rymligt garage. Ljuset flödar in genom portarna och det stora glastaket. Om hundrafemtio år kanske det inryms en konsthall här istället - så som i Magasin 3 en bit bort..

This essay is a comparison according to the ideological thoughts about womens position in the society of Mao Zedong och Josef Stalin. The material I have analysed is writings by Mao and Stalin, in a wide range from leaflets to orders to the armies of the states of China and the Soviet Union.

The attitude towards women generally was not unified in the world during the time for Mao and Stalin. In many countries the women was intended to take care of the children and the home, not be active in working and fighting.

Aid effectiveness is a reoccuring theme in the social sciences. Maybe rightfully so, as development is slow in many parts of the developing world. Core literature on the matter seems to suggest that aid effectiveness is contingent on recipients? level of corruption. Assuming this to be true, I examine the EU?s disbursements of Official Development Assistance over the past decade by running regressions: is there a relationship between the level of aid received, and a country?s level of corruption? As the EU is one of the largest donors of foreign aid globally, and has the power to shape the global foreign aid agenda, this question puts to the test whether the EU is leading the way, or rather is an obstacle in front.

The aim with this study has been to examine and to analyze the discourse of Rosengård in Swedish media. With the concept of discourse is meant here specific ways to speak about and to understand the world, or a part of it. In order to reach increased understanding regarding media presentations and constructions of Rosengård, I have done a study about how Rosengård has been presented in the Swedish daily and evening press during the violent acts that took place in Rosengård in the spring and summer of 2008, when youths regarding to media put cars and containers on fire, and also threw stones at fire engines and other emergency service vehicles when these had to turn out to put out the fires. The collected data, containing newspaper articles, has been analyzed on the basis of the critical discourse analysis, CDA, which is a mould of a textanalytical method. This study applies a social constructivist perspective.
