In order to be able to fold packaging material into good looking packages with maintained barrier properties, the material is first provided with folding indications. This process is called creasing and it is carried out by passing the paperboard between two rollers holding tools which create a permanent deformation in the paperboard, according to a predetermined pattern. These tools have looked

When an automatic swing door is used in an entrance, the energy consumption increases. This is because the door cannot detect when the user has passed and therefore, for safety reasons, stands in the open position for too long. To make automatic swing doors more sustainable one needs smarter sensors that can cover a larger area and communicate with the door. In this thesis 11 different concepts of

Ultrashort laser pulses play an important role in many applications in science and technology, from attosecond science to time resolved spectroscopy and material processing. For applications of ultrashort laser pulses, it requires a complete characterization of the electric field of the pulse, which includes both phase and amplitude of the electric field. The characterization of ultrashort laser pThe human eye can clearly observe movements as fast as around 0.1 seconds long, but how can we observe the movement that is way too fast for the human eye? For example, you can barely read any labels from a really fast moving formula 1 car. However, if we use a camera which can act faster than the human eye, we can capture the images of the moving object. When a camera takes a picture, it records

Studie av aggregeringstendenser hos en homolog serie peptider med NMR-spektroskopi Examensarbetet utvärderar tillämpningen av 1H NMR-spektroskopi med vattenundertryckning vid en första undersökning av aggregeringsbeteende hos fyra närbesläktade läkemedelsmolekyler. Utveckling av peptidläkemedel står inför många svårigheter. För det första är de är relativt nya på marknaden. LäkemedelsutvecklareThe aggregation propensity of four GnRH analogues, namely D-Phe6-GnRH, ozarelix, cetrorelix and degarelix has been studied with 1H NMR spectroscopy in 100 % H2O, while tracking changes in pH. A method was developed to study aggregation propensities by variations in absolute integral values over time and with concentration. The method provided an intuitive visual comparison of the aggregation prope

Innovation plays an increasingly important role in many sectors, and receives growing interest from companies, researchers and nations. Increasing attention has been paid to the Front-End of Innovation (FEI), the initial part of the innovation process, where prociency has been shown to have the greatest impact on future innovation success. Research is however centered around product innovation in

Det finns flertal fall då grafdatabaser överträffar traditionella relationsdatabasers pre-standa. Är grafdatabaser potentiellt den nya lagringsmetoden vid stor mängd sam-mankopplad data? Vilka villkor krävs? För att sätta det på prov har vi skapat entestmiljö med en stor mängd relationsbunden data.In an age of increasing usage of heavily interconnected platforms, graph databases have increased in popularity due to their ease of modelling these systems. This thesis will evaluate if the graph database Neo4j can be used to model Lime's CRM System efficiently by comparing the performance of Neo4j and MS SQL on queries similar to those existing in Lime CRM. To benchmark the databases, they w

Syftet med den här studien var att undersöka om det finns några skillnader i psykologiskt välbefinnande mellan studenter med låg- respektive hög grad av Fear of Missing out (FoMo). Trots att tidigare forskning visar att FoMo är vanligt förekommande och ofta associerat med ohälsa, är fenomenet relativt outforskat inom det psykologiska forskningsfältet. För att undersöka relationen mellan FoMo och pThe purpose of this study was to examine whether there are any differences in psychological well-being between students with low- respectively high levels of Fear of Missing out (FoMo). Although previous research shows that FoMo is commonly occurring and often associated with illness, the phenomenon is relatively unexplored in the field of psychological research. To investigate the relationship be

Vad innebär det att spela en transkription? Är transkriptionen relevant? Vilka är skillnaderna och likheterna mellan olika transkriptioner? I syfte att fördjupa mig i transkriptioner inom klassisk musik, valde jag att utgå från Schuberts arpeggionesonat. Ett stycke som transkriberats många gånger för många olika instrument och som, från början, är skrivet för ett instrument som hade en kort tid a

Sveriges elsystem står inför en rad kommande utmaningar. En lovande lösning till många av dessa är efterfrågeflexibilitet. Men vad är byggnaders möjligheter och begränsningar att vara flexibla i sin elanvändning? Förutsättningarna för elförsörjningen i Sverige förändras i takt med att kärnkraften gradvis fasas ut och ersätts med väderberoende elproduktion i form av vind- och solkraft. Detta sker Sweden is heading towards an energy system with less nuclear power and more intermittent energy sources. Together with the coming electrification of the transport and industry sector, this challenges the future stability of the Swedish power system. However, a part of the solution could be that consumption of electricity temporarily is adjusted to facilitate the operation of the power system, reco
