Sensitivities for elasto-plasticity are derived using the direct and adjoint method. An elaso-plastic response is solved using both theory for finite strains and infinitesimal strains. The sensitivities are then used to maximize plastic work and to perform a material parameter identification of the initial yield stress.

This master thesis is aimed at developing a docking station for Axis communications’ camera V5915. The docking station in this master thesis will only reach a proof of concept level. Axis communications wanted to try to make an accessory which would make a camera wireless in the means of both power and communications. Studies on batteries were conducted early on in the project to understand the This article describes the master thesis work performed at LTH and concerns the process of designing and building a prototype that makes an Axis Communications stationary camera completely wireless. This will be achieved by incorporating a Wi-Fi and a suitable battery into a chassis design. The data transfer rates of wireless communication has only recently reached high enough levels to support h

En trend i städers arbete för att profilera sig som cykelstäder och uppnå ett hållbart resande är att införa lånecykelsystem av olika slag. I Sverige har de etablerats såväl i Stockholm som i Göteborg och i augusti 2014 invigdes Lunds lånecykelsystem Lundahoj. Därtill planerar även Malmö stad att införa ett lånecykelsystem. Det faktum att Lundahoj ännu ej har utvärderats samt att det i regionen föThe report highlights Lund conditions for a bike sharing as well as the goals that are set for Lundahoj. In addition, the usage is studied and how well the bike sharing system works in relation to the objectives set by the municipality and how Lundahoj has contributed to more sustainable travel. The analysis shows that the proportion of users living in Lund (53 %) is slightly larger than the propo

T cell-exosomer som biomarkör vid Typ 1-Diabetes Typ 1-diabetes (T1D) är en autoimmun sjukdom, där kroppens T-celler (immunceller) angriper bukspottskörtelns insulinproducerande betaceller. Insulin är ett viktigt hormon, som reglerar blodsockerhalten i kroppen. Destruktion av betacellerna leder till nedsatt insulinproduktion och därmed höga blodsockerhalter, som följaktligen leder till andra kompType 1 diabetes, also known as juvenile diabetes or insulin-dependent diabetes, is a growing and serious health problem worldwide with highest incidence in developed countries and among children. It is a T cell-mediated autoimmune disease, characterized by destruction of β-cells of the pancreatic islets of Langerhans, resulting in deficient insulin secretion and hyperglycemia. The cause of the dis

I dagens kunskapssamhälle så ökar arbetsgivarens behov av att binda arbetstagare med särskilda kompetenser då de är så kallade nyckelmedarbetare. I vissa fall kan hela bolagets värde utgöras av arbetstagarna. Därför ökar också användandet av konkurrensklausuler. Normalt sätt så tar den sikte på arbetstagarens förehavanden efter det att denne har lämnat sin anställning. Men för de allra flesta så hThe necessity is high for employers to keep employees with particular skills in today's knowledge-based society. In some cases, the entire value of the company is based on the skills of the employees. Therefore there is also an increase in the use of non-competition clauses. Normally, it effects the employee’s actions after the employment relationship is terminated. For most people, it has als

The energy resources (notably oil and gas) are of strategic significance for national power. The resources are significant in both economic terms constituting the drivers of global economy and in political terms. The political essentials of the resources make their “high card” status in the international political gamble. The “high card” status stems from the assessment that the holder of the “car

The aim of this master thesis is to investigate ideas in the Swedish debate about e-books in relation to Litteraturutredningen (2012), with focus on ideas that concern access of e-books within the public library. Access is discussed in relation to Buckland’s (1991) six barriers of access of information and Habermas’s (2003) democratic public sphere, as well as the Swedish Library Act (2013:801). I

Syftet med denna uppsats är att öka förståelsen för huvudintressenternas uppfattningar i Sverige kring den obligatoriska byrårotationen med hänsyn till oberoende och revisionskvalitet. Resultatet visar att majoriteten av huvudintressenterna är negativt inställda till den obligatoriska byrårotationen, speciellt i sin slutgiltiga utformning som troligtvis kommer vara utan påverkan på varken det fakt

This thesis provides an analysis of the Eurozone‟s crisis management during the European debt crisis from a Neorealist perspective. It assesses the explanatory power of Neorealism for the counter-measures taken in response to the European debt crisis. The main argument is that in times of crisis, the member states of the European Union may fall back to Neorealist behavior, despite any integrating

The purpose of this thesis was to examine how increased mobility of indigenous student migrants in Dhaka from the Chittagong Hill Tracts in Bangladesh affects notions of belonging and indigeneity. By applying a theoretical framework of mobility, global interconnectedness and lifestyle the study challenged representations by indigenous rights advocates of indigenous people as inherently immobile an

The international financial crisis has hit southern European countries remarkably hard. As a consequence, governments have introduced economic austerity in order to cope with such a difficult situation. Perhaps most important, left-wing and right-wing parties have contributed to the implementation of these economic policies. Given this unexpected consensus, this thesis examines the Italian case st

Although previous researches have covered various kinds of identity studies, the identity issues particularly among the Chinese immigrants to Sweden remain poorly understood. Therefore, this thesis contributes to the vast amount of research by focusing on how and why the Chinese immigrants’ identities have developed after immigration. Based on nationalism and national identity theories in modern C

Kvark-Gluon-Plasma (QGP) är ett tillstånd av materia som har väldigt hög densitet och en temperatur på 2,000,000,000,000 K. Man tror att universum såg ut såhär precis efter the Big Bang, Den Stora Smällen. Vid detta tillstånd kunde inte hadroner (t.ex. protoner och neutroner) bilda atomkärnor som är grunden till all materia. Detta inträffar på grund av att gluonerna, som binder ihop kvarkarna inutIn high energy heavy ion collisions a new state of matter called quark gluon plasma is produced. An important observable is azimuthal anisotropy flow. Data from the ALICE experiment is used in the search for azimuthal anisotropic flow in pp collisions, at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 7$ TeV. p--Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 5.02$ TeV are used to create a baseline. It is expected to find symmetries in $\De
