The thesis evaluates both acute and long term toxicity of combustion products as well as extinguishing agents, regarding both human health and the environm

In many application areas in industrial production, industrial robots are utilised for performing various tasks. Frequently a predefined geometric path exists, such that the robot should track this path with its tool centre point. The tracking is often to be performed with certain criteria specified, such as minimisation of time or energy. Accordingly, path tracking problems can often conveniently

Det är sedan tidigare visat att stress hos sjuksköterskor inverkar negativt på patientsäkerheten.

The Australian Bogong moths are thought to have the ability to sense the earth’s magnetic field. This ability has to be reflected in the animal’s neural architecture. Hence reconstruction of three brain neurons was carried out, though these respond to visual stimulation instead of magnetic. These reconstructions were compared to that of other known specie’s visual responsive neurons to provide a b

Denna undersökning är en fallstudie av hur nio elever i årskurs nio och deras lärare har arbetat med musikskapande. Momentet musikskapande förekommer ytterst sparsamt i musikundervisningen i svenska grundskolor, trots att det enligt kursplanen ska bedömas. Denna undersökning genomfördes på en skola där musikskapande utförs i stor omfattning, alltså en skola som sticker ut. Syftet var att undersökaThis is a case study of how nine ninth grade students and their music teacher have been working with composition. The element of composition is very uncommon in Swedish elementary schools, in spite of the fact that it should be a part of the assessment. This study is conducted in a school where they work extensivley with composition. The aim was to study the students and the teachers’ view on the
