This paper presents the results of an explorative study on the strategies and tactics applied by the mechanical designer during the later phases of the design process. The method chosen for this study is experiment-based, which is appropriate for an in-depth examination of the designer's activities. Six experiments have been run based on three dimensions: 1) the carrying out of basic design tasks

Syftet med detta projekt var att studera samspelet mellan friktion, balansförmåga och halkrisker, samt att ta fram designrekommendationer för friktionskrav och halksäkrare skor och underlag. Sex studier har utförts innefattande friktionsmätningar av skor på olika underlag och temperaturer, studier av stående balans och gång på ramp med justerbar lutning samt fokusgruppintervjuer. Resultaten visar

Popular Abstract in Swedish Arkitekter har kritiserats för att ha en vag föreställning om begreppet kropp och hur det förhåller sig till den arkitektur de gestaltar. Om kropp alls medvetandegörs är det på ett allmänt och självidentifierande plan, alternativt genom de standardiserad mått som olika byggnormer föreskriver. Arkitekturens kroppsliga relationer och kroppens sensoriska meningsskapande ärBeginning with the notion that spatial and material qualities of architecture set limits and create conditions for how we make use of it, the overall aim and ambition of this thesis is to develop this notion and to contribute to a deeper understanding of the relationships that are produced between the materiality of architecture and a bodily appropriation of it. To investigate this the thesis esta

Det centrala i 2008-års sjukreform var att förmå människor att ta tillvara den arbetsförmåga de har kvar. Den tanken har funnits sedan 1990-talet. Reformens innehåll präglas av en koppling till en tankekedja där sjukdom förknippats med ett starkt skyddsvärde, högre statligt ersättningstak, obligatorisk deltagande i försäkringen och ett betydande skydd mot påtvingad omskolning till enklare arbetsup

The enzyme deoxyuridine 5’-triphosphate nucleotidohydrolase (dUTPase, EC 3.6.1.23) catalyzes the hydrolysis of dUTP to dUMP and pyrophosphate. The reaction suppresses misincorporation of uracil into DNA and provides dUMP for the de novo synthesis of dTTP. dUTPase is a widespread enzyme and the fact that many viruses encode a dUTPase of their own suggests the enzyme to be important for the viral li

Popular Abstract in Swedish Kan vårdbehov mätas? Under de senaste decennierna har studier från olika delar av västvärlden kunnat visa att det finns skillnader mellan olika sociala klasser i sjukdomsförekomst och förtidig död. Sådana skillnader finns även i Sverige, trots att politikerna sedan länge satsat på utjämning av klasskillnader och vård på lika villkor för alla. Den ekonomiska tillväxten Aims: To analyse the associations between health and neighbourhood social position, measured by a composite index (Care Need Index, CNI). Furthermore evaluate CNI in preparation for future analysis of its usefulness for allocating primary health care resources to deprived neighbourhoods. Methods: One fourth of the Swedish general practitioners ranked the impact of eight different variables: elder

This paper presents a design study aiming to compare a PMSM, EMSM and an SMSM solution in order to rind the most competitive one for the BAS application. The study is mainly based on FE calculations, which are contrasted with the results obtained from a common car alternator. The highlights are efficiency and torque characteristics, and the way they contribute to improve the most important feature

The unison songs has united people about common goals and experiences in the three great folk movements in Sweden, the Revivalist movement, the Temperance movement and the Socialist movement, especially during the most expansive period, 1850-1920. The aim/purpose of my investigation has been to examine how the different ideolgies are breaking against each other in the songs published for unison so

No Trouble Found (NTF) has been discussed for several years [1]. An NTF occurs when a device fails at the board/system level and that failure cannot be confirm by the component supplier. There are several explanations for why NTFs occur, including: device complexity; inability to create system level hardware/software transactions which uncover hard to find defects; different environments during te

Popular AbstractDen här avhandlingen handlar om enpartistatens kollaps i Ungern och övergången till parlamentarisk demokrati i slutet av 1980- och början av 90-talet. Denna process, fortsättningsvis kallad transitionsprocessen, medförde förändringar inte bara i den politiska toppen, utan hade också återverkningar på de intellektuella och ekonomiska fälten. Drivkraften bakom dessa förändringar var,This dissertation explains the transition - the change of political system from a one-party state to a multi-party system - in Hungary as the result of a generation change, where different generations with different historical experiences either lost or gained political capital. It also includes a review of what consequences the changes in the political field had for the intellectual and economic

We look at the stability of survey based subjective time preferences over time. Using data from a Dutch panel survey spanning the period 1998 to 2012, the stability of subjective time preferences at the aggregate level and at the individual level are studied. While aggregate preferences are clearly unstable, individual subjective time preferences are relatively stable over time. In order to shed l
