63	Framtagande av lutningsföreteelse för ruttoptimering av bränsleförbrukning / Development of a slope phenomenon for route optimization of fuel consumption Svalling, Patrik, Frogner, Lukas January 2022 (has links) NVDB contains information of Sweden’s roads and a large number of properties concerning them. This information is provided as open data and is commonly usedin routing. For an optimal route optimization, several attributes are needed based on the road properties. At the time that this report was written, there was no attribute for slopes. The purpose of this report was, in collaboration with the Swedish transport Administration, to develop a new property “slope” for route optimization based on fuel consumption. The development of the slope phenomenon was built with FME where a script was created that calculated inclination on road links.The script calculated the inclination using a variation of the linear equation. Where x, y and z coordinates and attributes from NVDB were used to obtain values for the equation.The testing and validation of the generated slope property was performed with route optimization in the ArcMap application. The results from route optimization and previous research show a significant reduction in fuel consumption within routes with regard to slope. / NVDB innehåller information om Sveriges vägar och ett stort antal egenskaper för vägarna. Informationen tillhandahålls som öppen data och används ofta inom ruttning. För en optimal ruttoptimering behövs det ett flertal attribut baserat på vägegenskaper. Under tiden den här rapporten skapades så saknades det ett attribut för lutning. Syftet med den här rapporten var att i samarbete med Trafikverket ta fram en ny egenskap “lutning” vid ruttoptimering baserat på bränsleförbrukning. Framtagandet av lutningsföreteelsen var uppbyggt med hjälp av FME där ett skript skapades som beräknade lutningen i väglänkarna. §Skriptet beräknade lutning med hjälp av en variation av räta linjens ekvation. Därx, y och z koordinater samt attribut från NVDB användes för att få fram värden för ekvationen. Testandet och valideringen av den framtagna lutningsegenskapen framfördes med ruttoptimering i programmet ArcMap. Resultatet av ruttoptimeringen och tidigare forskning visar markant reduktion av bränsleförbrukning inom rutter med hänsyntill lutning.

64	Measuring the Impact of Community-University Research Partnership Structures: a case study of the Office of Community-Based Research at the University of Victoria Lall, Nirmala 27 October 2015 (has links) This research study focused on measuring the impact of structures that support community-university research partnerships. The broad research question asked: How can we determine the impact of community-university research partnership support structures such as the Office of Community Based Research at the University of Victoria, within the university and within local, regional, national and international communities? Methods of inquiry included: participatory research, institutional ethnography and case study. These are among an increasing number of research approaches consistent with what is called engaged scholarship. Congruent with the methods of inquiry, methods of investigation included: in-context immersion, participant-observer-listener, use of available documents and information, use of an impact assessment framework prototype designed pre-data collection, key informant interviews, field notes, research journaling and the writing process. Data contributing to this study were drawn from key informant interviews. Interview participants were situated within local, regional, national and international communities. Methods of analysis included: a two-pronged approach to organising data, deductive and inductive approaches, the lens of praxis, and the prototype as an analytical framework. Assessment as praxis is proposed as broad analytic framework. Theory was constructed through data analysis. This study’s data and analysis point to impact assessment as a cycle of inquiry and eight elements that inform impact on and through community life and impact on and through the university. The proposed Impact Assessment and Measurement Framework (IAMF) includes eight elements: coupling intention with impact, spheres of impact, categories of impact, conditions of impact, points of impact, impact-focused documentation, multiple perspectives of impact, and impact assessment and measurement statements. Contributions of this study include: recognition of staff who support community-university research partnerships through their varied work spaces, research councils as a type of support structure, impact assessment as a cycle of inquiry, explicating impact through elements of impact assessment, and a literature consolidation of impact assessment in the context of support structures. Future research may include revision and refinement of the IAMF across different types of community-university research partnership support structures. / Graduate Measuring Impact Assessing impact Measurement and assessment tool Approaches to impact measurement Assessment evaluation and impact Impact assessment as praxis IAMF Impact Assessment Framework Prototype Micro meso and macro impact levels Spheres of impact Cycle of inquiry Impact categories Conditions of impact How to measure impact

66	Bytový dům Olomouc, Nezvalova ulice, stavebně technologická příprava stavby / The Flat-building in Olomouc, Nezval street, civil technological project Drexler, Michal January 2016 (has links) As the basis of this diploma thesis served a project of a flat house in Nezvalova Street. This flat house is designed as 7 floors high building with undergrounds garages and commercial space in the ground floor. Foundation of this building is done using reinforced concrete pilots, continued by monolithic reinforced concrete scelet. Both circumferential casing and internal walls are built using ceramic concrete blocks Porotherm, on top of which is a layer contact insulation system from EPS. Roofing of this building is done using asphalt bands into flat roof; one part of the roof is designed as “green roof” and is covered by soil substrate. This diploma thesis covers building technology preparation of construction. It includes time schedule of construction, accessibility to the building site, technical report and blueprints of building site equipment, risk plan, draft of main tools and processes for construction, instructions on how to use housing units. The main aim of this diploma thesis is around building a monolithicreinforced concrete scelet, for which a technological manual was created, control and probationary plan and blueprints of formwork for vertical and horizontal constructions. Additionally this thesis covers roofing using flat roof and asphalt belts.
67	Komplex bytových domů, Praha - Jarov, stavebně technologická příprava stavby / The complex of residential buildings, Praha - Jarov, civil technological project Komenda, Tomáš January 2016 (has links) The goal of this diploma thesis is to create a building technology project for construction of 4 flat houses within stage 3a. of the building project „Green town of Prague – Jarov, phase II“.

A realization study of the main technological phases was also prepared. The diploma thesis covers in detail construction of reinforced steel scelet and circumferential casing including a layer of contact insulation system. A blueprint of formwork for walls and ceiling is included in the manual for construction of reinforced steel scelet. On these particular actions probationary and control plans were added. The required machinery set with detailed placement was also drafted. An itemized budget for the main building was prepared as well. Attached to this document is a detailed manual on how to use housing units including repairs and revisions plan for next 30 years. Part of this diploma thesis is also a detailed study covering the construction in relation to the surronding living and educational areas.
68	Religious directives of health, sickness and death : Church teachings on how to be well, how to be ill, and how to die in early modern England Elkins, Mark January 2018 (has links) In broad terms, this thesis is a study of what Protestant theologians in early modern England taught regarding the interdependence between physical health and spirituality. More precisely, it examines the specific and complex doctrines taught regarding health-related issues in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, and evaluates the consistency of these messages over time. A component of the controversial Protestant-science hypothesis introduced in the early twentieth century is that advancements in science were driven by the Protestant ethic of needing to control nature and every aspect therein. This thesis challenges this notion. Within the context of health, sickness and death, the doctrine of providence evident in Protestant soteriology emphasised complete submission to God's sovereign will. Rather, this overriding doctrine negated the need to assume any control. Moreover, this thesis affirms that the directives theologians delivered governing physical health remained consistent across this span, despite radical changes taking place in medicine during the same period. This consistency shows the stability and strength of this message. Each chapter offers a comprehensive analysis on what Protestant theologians taught regarding the health of the body as well as the soul. The inclusion of more than one hundred seventy sermons and religious treatises by as many as one hundred twenty different authors spanning more than two hundred years laid a fertile groundwork for this study. The result of this work provides an extensive survey of theological teachings from these religious writers over a large span of time.
69	We Can Do It (Education) Better: An Examination of Four Secondary School Approaches for Aboriginal Students in Northwestern Ontario Landon, Rocky 17 December 2012 (has links) The following study is an exercise in understanding how educators can improve their professional practice in terms of addressing the needs of Aboriginal high school students. The study was delimited to four different high schools in Northwestern Ontario in order to develop a broader understanding of best practices used by various school communities. Interviews were conducted with students and educational professionals such as teachers, administrators, guidance personnel and school board members. The study was completed over a period of one week, where one day was spent in each school completing interviews. This study is unique in two ways: it presents the voices of secondary school educators (which had scarcely been reported or heard in the academic community) outlining the direction in which Aboriginal education should go and secondly, as a researcher I attempted to use the medicine wheel as a model for completing and conducting research. There were a number of findings that appeared through the interviews. Teachers and administrators agreed that in order for Aboriginal students to succeed they needed to have involved parental support. It was important to teachers that parents take an active role in the educational life of their child. Additionally, it was acknowledged that First Nation communities were ideal settings for schooling of Aboriginal students as they were supported by family and community kinships. Yet in this study, it was also acknowledged that First Nation schools suffered financially in comparison to provincial schools. They were not able to provide programming comparable to provincial schools and iii were limited to a barebones program with compulsory courses being offered. In some cases, if students failed a course, they were not able to participate in the rest of the school program, until the course was re-taught in two years. Despite these shortcomings, students might do better in First Nation based schools if they were adequately funded with current resources and adequately compensated teachers. This study offers some suggestions on how to improve the practice of educating First Nation secondary students.
