  1. 1. Making Success a Self-Plying Piano : A Study on How Management Can Influence Risk-Culture

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Företagsekonomi

    Author : Emma Sjöholm; Oliver Uusitalo; [2022]
    Keywords : Management; Managerial Tools; Organizational Culture; Organizational Risk Culture; Communication; Incentives; Structure;

    Abstract : A common misconception is that the safest strategy when dealing with risk is to avoid it altogether, resulting in mainly risk hedging strategies aligned with a downside biased view of risk, only focusing on outcomes with a negative effect causing missed opportunities (Damodaran, 2007). Furthermore, another common misconception is the effort to quantify risk, to measure and prioritize it. READ MORE

  3. 2. Towards promoting the well-being of wheelchair users by measuring physical activity

    University essay from Malmö universitet/Fakulteten för teknik och samhälle (TS)

    Author : Daniel Abella; [2020]
    Keywords : Wheelchair; Physics; Energy expenditure; Commercial wearables; Wheelchair user energy expenditure; Measuring energy expenditure; Physical activity; Measuring physical activity in wheelchair users; Using commercial wearables to measure physical activity; Physics model energy expenditure; Physics model physical activity;

    Abstract : To measure physical activity in a wheelchair user is important. Disabled people have been found to be less active and it has negative health implications. By relating to ones own physical activity in concrete form it is easier to reinforce a positive attitude towards being physically active. READ MORE

  4. 3. Is Searle a Property Dualist?

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Filosofiska institutionen

    Author : Felix Schröder; [2019]
    Keywords : John Searle; biological naturalism; reduction; consciousness; property dualism; mental causation; causality; physicalism; philosophy of mind; epiphenomenalism; overdetermination;

    Abstract : It has often been argued that John Searle’s theory of mind, biological naturalism, due to its commitment to mental irreducibility amounts to no more than disguised property dualism. I suggest that a thorough analysis of Searle’s somewhat unusual views on the nature of reduction reveals this irreducibility to be not a metaphysical relation between mental properties and physical but one concerned only with the semantics of the respective terms used to refer to these.

  5. 4. Reinforced Concrete Beams Strengthened with Side Near Surface Mounted FRP : A parametric study based on finite element analysis

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Author : Rewan Eredini; [2016]
    Keywords : Side near surface mounted reinforcement; Bottom near surface mounted reinforcement; Parametric study; FEM-analysis; Atena; Carbon fiber reinforced polymer;

    Abstract : Most of the today’s concrete structures are older than tenyears, and the need to strengthening existing structures is growing steadily. This is due to various reasons such as degradation due to ageing, environmentally induced degradation, poor initial design or construction and lack of maintenance, to name a few. READ MORE

  6. 5. Shear Strength of Reinforced Concrete Beams subjected to Blast Loading : Non-linear Dynamic Analysis

    University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

    Author : Abbas Zangeneh Kamali; [2012]
    Keywords : Non-linear finite element analysis; Shear Strength; Reinforced Concrete; Normal Strength Concrete; Blast loading; Explicit Dynamic analysis; Design codes;

    Abstract : The experimental investigations performed on the behaviour of reinforce concrete elements subjected to blast loading have revealed that the shear mechanisms and ductility play important roles in the overall response and failure mode of such structures. The main aim of this master thesis is to study the possibility of using finite element method as a tool for predicting the dynamic response of blast loaded reinforced concrete beams and evaluation of their shear strength.
