  1. 1. Investigation on Enhancing Fire Threat Perception in Virtual Reality through Subject-Expectancy Effect

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Hsuan-Ting Liu; [2023]
    Keywords : Virtual reality; safe distance; subject-expectancy effect; thermal radiation; placebo effect; fire scenario.; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This thesis examines the use of subject-expectancy effect on enhancing fire threat perception in virtual reality. The study involves a virtual fire scenario design and 33 participants who experience virtual fires of three different scales in the scenario using a head-mounted display as visual and auditory perception and adopting physical movement in real world as their way of locomotion.

  3. 2. Actants and Networks in 'Skagboys' – Thatcher, Crime and Mundane Artifacts as Mediators

    University essay from Malmö universitet/Fakulteten för kultur och samhälle (KS)

    Author : Thomas Pedersen; [2020]
    Keywords : Skagboys; ANT; Actor-Network Theory; Thatcher; Crime; Heroin; Irvine Welsh; Bruno Latour; Mediator; Trainspotting; Literature; Scotland; Edinburgh; Agency; Detection; Objects in literature;

    Abstract : While Skagboys portrays the descent into heroin addiction of young, working class Scots during the Thatcher era, shifting the analysis from a strictly human perspective to one focusing on the agency of objects opens up the novel to new readings wherein morality emerges through nonhuman actors. Welsh’s work has traditionally been hailed as Scottish working-class realism that portrays its characters unideologically, to the point that the novels, through the characters, appear without morality.

  6. 5. Studies on the application of gas cooling as used by firefighters

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Brandteknik

    Author : Jan Bonnier; [2017]
    Keywords : Gas cooling; Firefighting; Fire Service; 3D-technique; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Gas cooling is a technique used by firefighters to create a safer work environment inside a compartment fire. By spraying water into the smoke layer, the smoke layer temperature will decrease significantly. Next to the lower temperature, the flammability of the smoke layer will also decrease. READ MORE
