The question of borders in regional planning have gained increased interest in recent developments of human geography. In the four corners of the region Scania, there are four different sub-regional organisations that work towards intermunicipal cooperation and development centred on a core growth engine. But how do these sub-regions relate to and affect the borders that surround them? To answer t

In this work a simultaneous localisation and mapping system, SLAM, has been constructed which can incorporate inertial measurement unit, IMU, data such as accelerometer and gyroscope data to estimate the metric scale and the relationship to the gravity vector of the SLAM solution. The system can perform accurate pose predictions at 100Hz based on IMU data and previous camera poses. An improved KLT

This study aims at investigating the crime prevention measures in Sofielund, Malmö. BID Sofielund is a unique collaboration between property owners and the public sector in a Swedish context, where they work together to make the district safer and more attractive. Therefore, there is every reason to investigate the crime preventing methods used in this collaboration. And what interests are behind

Urbanization is a strongly fortified global trend. The Swedish population is increasing; however, many municipalities are faced with declining populations. Currently, regional imbalance and rural development is given more room in the social- and political debate. While rurality is often mentioned with negative emphasis, urbanity gets associated with prosperity and thus sets the norm. The region of

Bakgrund: Sjukskrivningarna relaterat till psykisk ohälsa har ökat de senaste åren och behandlingarna rapporteras vara otillräckliga. Det saknas kunskap och resurser för att arbeta med individer med psykisk ohälsa. Primärvården är oftast den instans individer vänder sig till i första skedet och där kan arbetsterapeutiska interventioner användas som en del av behandlingen vid psykisk ohälsa. Syfte:Background: Sick leave due to mental illness have increased in recent years and the treatments are reported to be insufficient. There is a lack of knowledge and resources to work with individuals with mental illness. Primary health care is usually the instance individuals meet at first stage, and occupational therapy interventions can be used as part of the treatment of mental illness. Purpose: To

In this paper the use of integrated generators for airplane engines is examined. In order to accomplish this goal a combination of MatLab with FEMM and ANSYS Maxwell is used to make incrementally more and more detailed analysis of the integrated generator concept. After numerous numerical experiments and simulations it is concluded that the implementation of an integrated generator on the proposed

Numerical methods are the norm in modern structural engineering practice Models based on elasticity theory offer powerful methods to analyse complex structural behaviours and accurately predict probable deformation behaviour. Numerical methods in general and particularly finite element methods offer great numerical accuracy. Yet the tendency is that with increased accuracy come the downside of dec

Studien handlade om klargörande samtal på en familjerådgivning i södra Sverige. Syftet var att undersöka hur en begränsad insats, en intervention i form av en sammanhangsmarkering i samtalen gjorde en skillnad i andelen avhopp och percent reaching target, dvs. att personen hamnar på grönt område i den beräknade förväntanskurvan i Feedback Informerad Terapi (FIT).
