Idag delar man mycket information med varandra och ibland behöver vi se till att rätt sorts information delas. Tänk om man t. ex råkar skicka sitt personnummer istället för telefonnummer till någon? Detta examensarbetet handlar om att utveckla ett enkelt verktyg som bekräftar att information som delas är rätt formad. Eftersom det blir viktigare att vara säker på att information som delas är formaToday sharing data is done everywhere. Doctors might want to share patient journal information. Patient journals may contain sensitive information that doctors do not want to share. The journals needs to be checked before they are shared. In this thesis, data and journals are coded in XML and checking journals and data is the same as validating XML. Validating XML documents is usually done by foll

Sambolagens tillkomst och förändringar är en produkt av ett samhälle i förändring och man kan tydligt se lagstiftarnas ambition att följa denna förändring. 100 år tillbaka i tiden skulle det vara otänkbart med den könsneutrala lagstiftning i sambolagen som finns idag. Äktenskapet var en självklarhet och stod utan konkurrens och sexuellt umgänge mellan samkönade var ett brott. Idag finns i stället Common-law husband genesis and changes are the product of a changing society and one can clearly see the legislators aim to follow this change. 100 years back in time, it would be unthinkable with the gender-neutral legislation in the common-law husband that exists today.

In order to minimize the damage inflicted in healthy tissue during radiotherapy, it is vital to verify the dose absorbed by the patient. A common approach is the use of dosimetry gels in which local radiolysis processes are induced through radiation. As the subsequent read-out using Magnetic Resonance Imaging techniques is time-consuming, the here presented thesis investigates a new approach based

Abstract On May 18th in Abu Dhabi, UAE, IRENA released a report declaring that Djibouti can meet 100% of energy demand through renewable energy sources by 2020. Today, 55% of the population lives without access to electricity, 60% is unemployed, and the country depends greatly on imports of energy sources, inter alia fossil fuels and electrical power, which contribute to the continued rising leve

Det finns en stor utvecklingspotential med arbetsberedningar. Ett mer systematisk arbete med arbetsberedningar, med striktare rutiner, kan leda till arbetsberedningar kan användas för att mäta produktivitet. Uppföljningen och återkoppling är något som nästan inte existerar i dagsläget och denna del behöver åtgärdas med tydligare rutiner. En ny rutin som snabbt borde införas är att uppföljningsmöte

Uppsatsens frågeställning har sin upprinnelse i att författaren observerade att en ny marknad uppstått där privatpersoner använder sig av sociala me-dier för att sluta avtal med varandra. På denna marknad är oenigheten stor om vilka regler som gäller. Traditionell juridisk metod har använts men det finns också inslag där en kan se att denna metod påverkats av en pro-blem- och intresseorienterad anThe central question of this essay arose when the author observed that a new marketplace has emerged. In this marketplace individuals use social media to reach agreements with each other. In this marketplace, the dissen-tion is great about which rules apply. Traditional legal method has been used to answer the question, but a problem- and interest-oriented approach has also been used. The purpose

This master thesis is about improving the accuracy of a Gantry-Tau robot by identifying the key parameters in the kinematics of the robot. This is done using a vision system and then estimating the parameters by minimizing the closure equation of the kinematics. The robot with improved control is then used for additive manufacturing. Furthermore, a prototype for a large plastic printer head is pre

An extensive part of the Swedish roads are low-traffic roads, which are not properly constructed and thus lack the necessary bearing capacity. The Swedish Transport Administration has a limited budget each year that is used to fix the roads with the comprehensive needs.

In modern day society the increase of data generation and transfer has been an issue that researchers are working on. This generated and shared data might have a different purpose but one thing is certain, the reception. This communication can cover continents, countries, cities or even just a few meters. For the purpose of the later, personal area networks (PAN) have been created with a main focu
