The aim of this study is to investigate the working conditions for the cabin crew, if they are subjected to power oppression, like harassment, and how gender-coded practitioners and gender conceptions are made as processes within the organization. We have created this study as a feminist contribution to the labor market studies, gender studies and law studies since harassment crosses all these dis

The aim of this master’s thesis is to explore the interplay of commitment and empty labour in two widely different organisations. Empty labour can be described as when you are doing anything else than your official working tasks. Commitment on the other hand is how and in what way you feel obligated to the organisation, your boss, your colleagues’ etcetera. Depending on several factors such as col

3D-printad protesarm för ökad individanpassning och komfort Målet med en protes är att återställa så många funktioner som möjligt från en förlorad kroppsdel och skapa en naturlig känsla för användaren. Detta har vi jobbat mot i vårt examensarbete och med hjälp av både 3D-printerns och 3D-scannerns unika möjligheter har vi skapat en individanpassad och kroppsstyrd armprotes. Den enkla protesen är 3D printing, or additive manufacturing, is a technology that uses a digital model to print a three-dimensional object, layer by layer. Today, it is widely used in many different fields and provides a manufacturing method with advantages such as precision and the ability to print complex shapes from many different materials. 3D printed prostheses have recently gained a lot of interest thanks to the

Fingerprint recognition is a well-known problem in pattern recognition and widely used in contemporary authentication technology such as access devices in mobile phones.

This is accomplished by designing various network architectures for this task. Our starting-point is an a

During the Gorkha Earthquake in 2015 and its aftershocks, many schools have been damaged or collapsed in Nepal. Reconstruction of schools is still in progress. The lack of funding, resources, engineering skills, knowledge and accessibility makes it difficult for a lot of schools to reopen. My aim with this thesis project is to contribute to the resiliency of Nepal by proposing a design for a speci

By 2030, all countries in the World have agreed on fulfilling the 17 Sustainable Development Goals: being a tool for Sustainable Development Worldwide. To accomplish this, all countries need to find solutions how to reach these goals in their National contexts. In this regard, the thesis has examined whether legal pluralism can be a way to reach SDG16 in Ecuador, and if it complies with individual

Bakgrunden till denna studie grundar sig i egna erfarenheter kring pianoundervisning och hur lärares återkoppling har påverkat min utveckling. Denna studie undersöker därför hur pianolärare på musikestetiska programmet arbetar med återkoppling i sin undervisning och vad elevers uppfattning kring arbetet är. Det som är särskilt intressant är den återkoppling som främjar eller hämmar korttidsresultaThe background to this study is based on my own experiences in piano education and how teacher´s feedback has influenced my development. This study therefore analyzes how piano teachers at the musical program works with feedback in their teaching and what perception their pupils have of the work. Particularly interesting is the feedback that promotes or inhibits short-term results. Methods used to

En människa utsätts varje dag för smärta, vilken kan ha orsakats av exempelvis tryck, värme, kyla eller någon sorts kemikalier. Smärtan är nödvändigt för att kroppen ska förstå att den befinner sig i en skadlig situation. Så fort vi utsätts för ett hårt tryck, en extrem temperatur eller farliga kemikalier detekteras detta av speciella receptorer i nervtrådar som skickar vidare signaler till hjärnaThe Transient Receptor Potential, TRP, family is a group of non-selective ion channels which can be activated by harmful stimuli such as temperature, chemicals and mechanical stimuli. The channels play a crucial role in many physiological processes and it is therefore of great interest to know more about these proteins. The TRPA1 is one of many TRP channels, and a better knowledge of its function

The benefits of economic growth (e.g. capital accumulation) are mainly being enjoyed by people in the Global North, while its negative byproducts (e.g. pollution) are mainly being endured by people in the Global South. Our focus on economic growth has led to the erosion of social wellbeing. And continuing economic growth on this planet with finite natural resources could have even more severe cons

The aim of this thesis is to investigate information use, equilibrium behavior and social welfare in a duopoly market with anti-coordination. The analysis is conducted through the application of a game theoretic model first introduced in a 2002 seminal paper by Morris and Shin, to the Los Angeles stringer industry. In this setting, freelance journalists selling footage to news networks have a moti

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to enhance the understanding of how different groups of consumers perceive a brand depending on whether they are exposed to influencer marketing or paid social media marketing. Methodology: A descriptive quantitative study with a between-subjects design was conducted using a digital survey. A combination of one-way ANOVA, independent samples t-test and Spear

Lunds Tekniska högskola samarbetar med European Space Agency för att undersöka möjligheten att simulera hur bränslet i en rackettank rör sig. Resultaten av undersökningen visar att det finns möjligheter att bespara miljonbelopp på dyra rymdexperiment genom att testa samma experiment under simulerade rymdförhållanden här på jorden. Kunskapen av dessa simuleringar kan göra morgondagens raketer både This report is an investigation on how well fuel sloshing in a rotating cylindrical tank can be modeled numerically. The investigation is motivated by the need to understand the fuel sloshing in the new Ariane 6 rocket developed by the European Space Agency. Two cases are studied, the lled tank and the half lled tank at Reynolds numbers of 71000-212000. The softwares studied are FINE/Open with Ope

Air pollution caused by highly concentrated particulate matter is recognized as the biggest problem in Korean society. Since the problem is directly related to human life and local people's livelihoods, the demand for fundamental policies rather than short-term measures is growing. In this context, the strong policies of Seoul metropolitan government including emergency reduction measures whic

Järnvägslinjen mellan Lund och Malmö upplevs som bland den mest trafikerade linjen i Sverige. För att öka dess kapacitet, mobilitet, tillgänglighet och reducera bullerstörningar finns ett stort behov av att expandera linjen. Av den anledning har Trafikverket börjat expandera de befintliga dubbelspåren som går mellan Flackarp (söder om Lund) och Arlöv (norr om Malmö) till fyra spår. För TrafikverkeThe Swedish Transport Administration (STA) has begun to expand the two lined tracks that run between Flackarp and Arlöv to four tracks. For STA, it is of high importance to manage aspects such as climate and energy issues in big infrastructure projects, especially since they must meet certain requirements. Furthermore, when performing life cycle assessments (LCA) in projects like these, the possib
