The thesis intends to find the different powertrain concepts on the state of the art. From the configurations, the thesis should provide outcomes of the performance, efficiency, complexity design and cost. Furthermore, the best concept should be find and a simple pre

De ekonomiska, logistiska och realpolitiska ramar som byggandet utgår ifrån är inte alltid en utgångspunkt i våra projekt som arkitekter. Istället möter de dessa ramar på vägen mot förverkligande, och tvingas omformas, ibland utan arkitektens medverkan, för att passera igenom. Tydligast märks kanske detta i bostadsbyggandet, en sektor där arkitekturen gränsar till ett politikområde med ideologiska

Wireless communication nowadays is playing a vital role in real-life data transmission. This communication can be machine-to-machine or human to machine communication. In each of these categories, reliability and low latency data transmission are critical factors of success transmission in case the number of devices in a certain area increases. In this thesis, I mainly investigate on smart manufac

The Flommen Lagoon in southern Sweden is surrounded by several natural reserves and is an important bird migration site on the edge of the continent. The protection of this area including water quality in the lagoon and flooding problems in the adjacent area has always been a concern. The objective of this study is to simulate the water level in the Flommen Lagoon and the water exchange between

In 2018, the strategy for Sweden’s National Forest Program emphasized the Swedish forests as green gold. A peculiar formulation that I in this study trace to the roots of the existing Forestry Act. Directly I deal with the question: how has the forest been represented in the Swedish forest policy shift of 1993? The overarching question is complemented by several questions included in the critical

Det här är ett resultat av många års visioner. Visioner om hur Kyrkbacken kunde utvecklas till ett skärgårdscentrum, visioner om hur man förtätar en sådan typ av miljö, visioner om hur framtiden ser ut för skärgårdsstäder och visioner om hur man skapar skärgårdsmiljöer som är livskraftiga och levande, året runt. Min målsättning med examensarbetet är att utgående ifrån en noggrann analys och kartlThe purpose of this thesis is to create a vision of the future Nagu. Nagu consists of two main islands and 3000 smaller islands located south of Turku in Parainen. Todaythe small town of Kyrkbacken, Nagu, is among the biggest service and tourism centres of the archipelago region – but only during summertime. The aim of the thesis is to create a living Kyrkbacken, throughout the year. The thesis

In-band full-duplex has emerged as an attractive solution for significantly enhancing the throughput of wireless communication systems by doubling the spectrum efficiency compared to conventional half-duplex systems. However, the existence of self-interference is a significant barrier to operate full-duplex systems. In order to cancel the self-interference by analog and digital solutions, time syn

The aim of this master’s thesis is to investigate the discursive networks and production contexts of the rare and insular phenomena of Swedish experimental features. As a point of departure, the tentative and limited filmography of Swedish artist Öyvind Fahlström is expanded upon, as the thesis present a unique case study on his first and only feature film Du gamla, Du fria (“Provocation”, 1972).

The International Development Community places individuals at the center of concern for policy making. This study investigates why group analyses are crucial for the welfare of individual and social stability, and claims that the concept of Horizontal Inequality (group-based inequality) is important but widely neglected. The group of investigation is the indigenous population in Chiapas, Mexico’s

This thesis is a propositional study, analysing to what extent conventional concepts of urban housing architecture require updating in response to increasingly progressive living patterns developing in Europe. The propositional design is a modular system including permanent housing for short-term accommodation - alongside a trail of public walkways - which inhabits, activates and connects a netwo

Lunds centralstationen är en av Sveriges högst trafikerade stationer i dagsläget. Dagligen sker tusentals resor till och från Lunds centralstation. För att ta sig till och från centralstationen är risken stor att man måste passera det obevakade övergångstället som är beläget mellan centralstationen och Clemenstorget. Vid ett samråd 2016 framgick det att det fanns ett starkt missnöjde angående trafLund Central station is one of Sweden’s busiest train station at present. Thousands of travellers arrive and departure at the central station at daily basis. In order to get to and from the central station there is a great chance that you will have to pass the uncontrolled crossing which is located between the central station and Clemenstorget. From a meeting in 2016 between Lund municipality and

Language and gesture are two semiotic systems that work together in close integration during communication. One issue in particular, that of image schemas, has been studied in relation to gestures, though most often in adult gesture and communication (Williams, forthcoming; Cienki, 2013; Mittelberg, 2006, 2018). This contrasts with mimetic schemas, which are thought to be more specific structures

Vid studier av den psykosociala arbetsmiljön inom hälso- sjukvård- och omsorgssektorn har Arbetsmiljöverket identifierat brister i kommunikationen på arbetsplatserna, brister i kunskap om arbetsmiljöfrågor och höga stressnivåer. Syftet med den här studien är att undersöka hur undersköterskor och vårdbiträden på ett äldreboende upplever hur de blir bemötta på sin arbetsplats och i sin yrkesroll. De

Spray-dried milk serum protein concentrate powders could be applied either as ingredients in dairy applications or delivery materials in pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry. Yet, one of the critical challenges is that lumps are easily to form when the powders is added into water. Surface rheology of solutions from redissolved protein powders is suggested to be an important part in increasing

This industrial design project is focusing on the area of kitchen appliances and its relationship to the environmental issues of today. The reason why we started to work in this field was because we wanted to work towards sustainability in an area where it was not a common thing - and we immediately chose electronic devices. You rarely see an ecological X-box or a repairable computer. W

Varierande likhet i blomdoft – beror det på släktskapsband? De senaste decennierna har kunskapen om blomdoft och dess betydelse i interaktioner mellan växter och insekter ökat avsevärt. Det finns en stor mängd olika doftämnen i blommors doft och blomdoften kan vara högst variabel, inte bara mellan arter utan också mellan individer av samma art. Även om vissa doftämnen verkar sakna ekologisk funktUnderstanding the evolutionary processes behind intraspecific variation and population differentiation is an important topic in biology, since intraspecific variation is required for speciation. Angiosperms show fascinating diversity in flower designs. Since the flower is crucial for reproductive success and at the same time often involved in biotic interactions with pollinators and/or herbivores,
