AERO X - Not just another fire extinguisher

This report is a design project about preventing fires in the home. The purpose was to try to invent a new product with a new take on trying to reduce the amount of fires in our homes. The method used is a traditional design methodology starting with a brief leading to a research phase, understanding and investigating phase then visualization and realization, ending up in a solution. The questions

Genetic analysis of Anaplastic Thyroid Cancer

Anaplastic thyroid cancer is one of the most fatal endocrine malignancies. The tumour is highly invasive and show aggressive growth patterns with poor prognosis. Thyroid tumourgenesis is poorly understood. Thyroid malignancy incidences are higher in women than men with a ratio of 2:1, the average age at diagnosis is 60, tumour size ranging between 6 cm to 9 cm, highly infiltrative on presentation

Shine - The search of shiny effects and how to connect them to design

The Master thesis «Shine» is consisting out of two parallel connected projects, based on a personal extensive interest for glittering, shimmering, shiny and dazzling effects. The first project is an exploration of a personal theme about the effect, in the theses referred to as «Shine». The second project is a concept of a tent, inspired from the first project.

Bärförmåga hos tvärbelastade inlimmade skruvar

Inlimmade skruvar är en relativt ny förbandstyp som kan användas för att skapa anslutningar som förblir dolda för det blotta ögat. Dessa dolda anslutningar är mer estetiskt tilltalande i kontrast till ”vanliga” förband med spikplåt, skruvar och bultar. Förbindarna får även ett naturligt skydd av träet vilket minskar arbetet med att brandskydda spikplåtar, skruvar och bultar. Syftet med examensarbeGlued-in Rods (GiR) is a relative new connection type that could be used for creating hidden joints in timber structures. These hidden joints are more esthetic appealing in contrast to ordinary joints with toothed plates, nails and bolts. With the use of GiR the connectors gets an automatic protection in case of fire while unprotected steel loses all of its strength in case of fire. In this report

Remittances and welfare in Tajikistan

In many developing countries, migration and remittances have become an important option for households facing poverty, unemployment and lack of opportunities. This raises the question of how effective this strategy is in improving welfare in countries sending migrants abroad and receiving remittances back. Of particular interest is the case of countries that have become highly dependent on the rem

MELLANSTEG - The middle phase for clothes

In my bachelor project I have worked with some-thing I call “Clothes in the middle phase”. I focused on how people treat their clothes that are not newly washed, but still not ready for the washing machine. I have selected to work with people who tend to pile up their clothes on the floor, bed or another temporary place that can easily create a messy atmosphere in the room. A common behaviour is

Ett modernare ekonomistyrningspaket - en förutsättning för framgångsrik styrning i hemtjänsten? - En fallstudie av hemtjänsten i Malmö stad

Syftet med denna uppsats har varit att beskriva och analysera hemtjänstens ekonomistyrning i Malmö stad. Uppsatsen utgörs av ett uppdrag till Malmö stad och därför har ett viktigt syfte varit att också föreslå hur ekonomistyrningen kan förbättras. Uppsatsens resultat utmynnar i ett styrpaket som beskriver hemtjänstens nuvarande ekonomistyrning. Styrpaketet visar sig innehålla flera av de styrform

Patient - a healthy documentation system

This project has focused on improving the psychosocial working environment for hospital staff that uses electronic patient records in Region Skåne. Through making qualitative interviews with nurses, doctors and medical secretaries that use patient records on a daily basis I’ve gotten a view of some of the issues with the current system. The problems today seem to be that the documentation system

Geant4 simulations of neutron flux using automated weight windows with applications to ESS

ESS (European Spallation Source) kommer att vara ett viktigt verktyg för den vetenskapliga utvecklingen i Lund, anläggningen kommer att vara världens mest kraftfulla neutronkälla avsedd för neutronspridningsexperiment. Neutroner frigörs via bombardemanget av tunga atomkärnor medelst högenergetiska protoner. Man kan göra en jämförelse med en kanonkula som slår in i en trävägg och slår loss träflisoThis thesis investigates the use of two automated weight window methods for variance reduction of flux in particle transport simulations. The methods are implemented in the Geant4 simulation software. Both methods are based on pre-simulations, using flux or relative error information as input. The methods are intended for use in shielding and instrumental background applications and are tested on

Hundar på arbetsplatsen - en jämförande studie av arbetsrelaterad stress hos anställda på företag med eller utan hund

Syftet med uppsatsen var att genom en psykologisk kvantitativ studie undersöka om hundar kan påverka stressnivån hos anställda på företaget som tillåter hund. Har de anställda på företaget som tillåter hund på arbetsplatsen lägre upplevd stressnivå än de anställda företag som inte tillåter hund? Studien genomfördes på två välkända svenska företag, ett finansbolag och en riksorganisation, som båda

Sensorless Control of Brushless DC Motor in Hydraulic Application

In this master thesis we have studied the possibilities of implementing and controlling the speed of a brushless DC motor in an hydraulic application developed by BorgWarner TorqTransfer Systems AB. The hydraulic application is a coupling that give vehicles intelligent all-wheel drive. Today, the hydraulic application uses hydraulic pressure controlled by an ordinary DC motor to produce the all-w

Carboxylated Cellulose Nanocrystals Extraction from Kraft Pulp Using Ammonium Persulfate as Low Cost Source & Sustainable Method for High Quality Flexible Packaging Bio-coating

One of the leading challenges presented in 21st century for packaging industry is to address the growing environmental problems related to non-renewable flexible packaging. This leads to new growing interest in bio-based materials, among them cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), which have already shown good performance in improving anti-fog and oxygen & water vapor barrier properties when applied t

A Study of What Drives Women to China’s Sex Industry

My paper focuses on the experiences of China’s female sex workers. In particular, this paper focuses on the workers’ lives before joining the sex industry. The research question that is posed asks: “What makes Chinese women become sex workers (i.e., prostitutes)?” Online interviews as well as online personal statements, along with previous research from articles and books are used to study prostit

Understanding Islamic Finance: Comparative Analysis on Advantages and Disadvantages between Sukuk and BondsUnderstanding Islamic Finance: Comparative Analysis on Advantages and Disadvantages between Sukuk and Bonds

Islamic finance has been growing tremendously for the past years. On the other hand, the understanding of it, is still limited compared to the conventional finance. Claims that Islamic finance is more resistant to crisis compared to the conventional finance is analysed in this thesis through the comparison between Sukuk and bond financing. There are two aims of this thesis. The first aim is to stu

Flexibilitet i arbetslivet – ett arbetsgivarperspektiv

Det har blivit allt vanligare med användandet av både tidsbegränsade anställningar och inhyrning av personal från bemanningsföretag på svensk arbetsmarknad (LO 2014:2-3). Med anledning av det vill jag ta reda på hur arbetsgivarna ser på detta. Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka hur arbetsgivarna resonerar kring frågor som rör tim- och visstidsanställningar, bemanningsföretag samt lagen om anstä

Inverkan av valveffekter vid beräkning av jordtryck

The load transfer and redistribution phenomenon that occurs through the mobilization of shear stresses in response to relative displacements in granular materials, such as soils, is attributed to the arching effect. The arching effect has a great influence on the behaviour of soils and plays an important role in predicting earth pressure in granular backfills of limited extent, confined by unyield
