   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

   Author : Marija Bukauskaite; [2024]
   Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : In 2022, the Government of Lithuania approved the new Crisis Management and Civil Safety law to establish the National Crisis Management Centre (NCMC). This thesis was written during the initial phase of the NCMC creation process. READ MORE

3. 2. Safety Management Systems in micro and small air operators: mission possible?

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

   Author : Stéphane de Wolf; [2021]
   Keywords : air operator; aviation; business aviation; civil aviation authorities; commercial air operator; corporate flight department; decoupling; institutional theory; isomorphism; management system; micro enterprise; non-commercial air operator; occupational health and safety; OHS; PDCA; personal safety; performance-based regulation; process safety; quality management; safety; Safety Management Systems; self-regulation; small enterprise; SMS; FLMU06; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : This thesis explores the rationality, completeness and functioning of Safety Management Systems (SMS) amongst micro- and small-sized air operators in business aviation. In the absence of thorough literature in this sector of aviation, a survey of prior research on OHS(MS) and on non-aviation micro/small enterprises (MSE) provided a collection of factors contributing to their safety performance.

4. 3. An Automated Process for Concrete Reinforcement Layout Design

   University essay from KTH/Bro- och stålbyggnad

   Author : Cecilia Gavrell; Ludvig Reuterswärd; [2018]
   Keywords : Genetic algorithm; Optimization; Reinforcement layout design; Automation; Buildability; Constructability; Genetisk algoritm; Optimering; Armering; Automatisering; Byggbarhet;

   Abstract : As many tasks considering structural design in civil engineering become digitalised, the possibility of creating a more effective workflow increases. The development of computer programs that can handle large amounts of data and assist the decision making during design process increases the requirement of the data management to fully utilize the potential of a digital workflow.

5. 4. Semi-Analytical Finite Element method for guided waves in civil engineering plate-like structures

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Teknisk geologi; Lunds universitet/Väg- och vattenbyggnad (CI)

   Author : Christian Nielsen; [2015]
   Keywords : seismics; structural health monitoring; lamb waves; SAFE; semi analytical finite element; wave guide finite element; non destructive testing; civil engineering; ultrasound; ultrasonography; comsol; wave guide; plate; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : Guided waves have a signicant potential for Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) and Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) due to their relatively long distance of propagation and sensitivity to discontinuities along the propagation path, anywhere through the material thickness. The inability to model wave guides of arbitrary cross-section using current matrix methods, has led to the development of a technique called Semi-Analytical Finite Element (SAFE). READ MORE

6. 5. Strengthening public preparedness - Best practices and an analysis of efforts in Sweden

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet; Lunds universitet/Riskhantering (CI)

   Author : Joel Rödström; [2015]
   Keywords : Public preparedness; risk communication; crisis management; Technology and Engineering;

   Abstract : The urban human of today is becoming increasingly dependent on different functions of the society to survive, such as electricity and communications, functions which are sensitive to e.g. storms. The on-going climate change is and will further put a pressure on these functions. READ MORE
