När man pratar om industriellt underhållsarbete är mänskliga fel ett viktigt ämne att hantera. Olika typer av mänskliga misstag till följd av farliga tillstånd i vissa speciella parametrar, s.k. Performance Shaping Factors (PSFs) introducerar nya och oförutsägbara risker. Detta examensarbete presenterar en metod som, till skillnad från många metoder som finns tillhands idag, är tänkt som en enkel When discussing industrial maintenance, human error is a topic that easily comes to mind. Slips, lapses and mistakes due to hazardous settings of critical conditions referred to as Performing Shaping Factors (PSFs) introduce unforeseen and unanticipated risks. Unlike several tools to date, the methodology presented in this master thesis is thought to serve as an easy and fast way to identify risks

MIMO (Multiple Transmit and Multiple Receive) antenna techniques are widely used in the most recent wireless communication standards. For example, LTE (Long-Term Evolution), WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Ac- cess) and IEEE 802.11n have recently been rolled out across the world. In any communication system, the ML (Maximum Likelihood) receiver provides optimal error rate performan

In this work, which is to be used as a supplementary example to the educational literature in Automatic Control, at LTH, I have chosen one reactor, in the group of chemical reactors, for the examination. The chosen reactor is the continuos-flow, autothermic, nonadiabatic stirred-tank reactor. Required cooling of the reaction mixture is achieved by letting the reactor-tank be surrounded by a coolin

Backlash is common in mechanical and hydraulic systems. It severely limits the overall system performance. Many mechanical solutions have been developed to overcome backlash, for example by using spring-loaded split gear assemblies or dual motor systems. These mechanical solutions can satisfactorily handle the backlash problem but they give rise to other problems like decreased accuracy and reduce

Lupin seeds contain like many other grains and legumes the mineral inhibitor phytate. The presence of this anti-nutrient decreases the bioavailability of minerals such as zinc and iron. Especially people that live in areas where grains and legumes are the staple food source, as well as vegan and vegetarian groups, may be more vulnerable to mineral deficiencies. The presence of phenolic compounds i

In this study, Dissolved Organic Matter (DOM) quality was analysed through its optical properties. Samples from the estuarine waters of the Beagle Channel and oceanic ones of the Burdwood Bank were examined in order to understand how DOM quality was changing. The focus of the study was to determine whether the environmental variables or the microbial community were the main driver in DOM compositi

This thesis work is on the theoretical description of dilute Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC) that are non-uniform, meaning that more than one single-particle state is occupied. This phenomenon is usually called quantum depletion. A common model for the ground state of a dilute and weakly interacting BEC is the mean-field (MF) approximation leading to the Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) equation. However, fo

Surrogatarrangemang har varit kraftigt debatterat i Sverige. I dagens läge finns ingen reglering på området. Surrogatarrangemang sker dock ändå genom att svenskar åker utomlands eller utför heminsemination. Detta innebär att barn tillkommer men det finns ingen reglering som hanterar dess rättsliga förhållanden. Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka om en framtida reglering av altruistiskt surrogaSurrogacy arrangements have been heavily debated. Today, there is no legislation regarding surrogacy arrangements in Sweden. However, the phenomena still take place by Swedes going abroad or performing private insemination. This leaves the legal situation for families with surrogate-born children uncertain. The purpose of the thesis is to examine whether a future regulation of altruistic surrogat

22 April 2026 09:00 to 16:00 | Symposium Rethinking Mutations of Violence, Harm and Crime under Contemporary Market Logics Contemporary scholarship increasingly speaks of capitalism(s) rather than a singular capitalism. Platform economies, gig work, extractive markets, aestheticized consumer cultures, and criminalized market formations coexist and overlap, generating distinct configurations of pow

There is a battle in the supermarket isle, a battle between what the consumer wants and what the retailer and others want her to see, and subsequently to buy. Product packages and displays contain a number of features and attributes tailored to catch consumers' attention. These are what we call external factors comprising the visual saliency, the number of facings, and the placement of each produc

In this master thesis it is investigated where the housing shortage that Sweden faces in 2003 comes from. Starting from two alternative scenarios, a scapegoat is looked for: either the industry is responsible for lowering the supply of housing by increasing the cost of dwellings through illegal cartel agreements, or the state is to be blamed for distorting market forces through an inadequate housi

Sammanfattning: Uppsatsen består av två kvantitativa beräkningar gjorda i sex grammatikböcker ur kurslitteraturen vid Institutionen för nordiska språk, LU. Den första beräkningen utgörs av antalet subjekt i exempelmeningarna med manlig respektive kvinnlig referent. Den andra beräkningen utgörs av de semantiska roller som dessa subjekt innehar i exempelmeningarna. Syftet är att utröna om män repre

Visual inspection in order to assure quality control is a challenging field that is attracting increasing interest after a long period of silence due to the trust and hope in computers and automation. Human visual inspection is however a challenging area as it requires the designer of the system to take in to account demands and limitations of technical, economic and psychological nature. This st

Sammanfattning Syftet med denna uppsats är att söka svar på vilka analytiska verktyg som krävs för att förstå villkoren för mänskligt handlande. Min tes är att den diskursteoretiska epistemologi som kommit att dominera samtida feministisk forskning - i uppsatsen representerad främst av Judith Butler - inte tillhandahåller dessa analytiska verktyg. För att pröva denna tes har jag intervjuat fem he

The progress made in the field of patents on pharmaceuticals the last fifteen years, has been of continuous change and adaptation. From the introduction of the TRIPS Agreement in 1995, where patents on pharmaceuticals became a necessity for all Member States of the WTO, to today, where a ratification of the TRIPS Amendment is ongoing, and might be a mean to enhance access to medicine for all peopl

Weichselisens avsmältningsskede i Skåne var mycket komplicerat, vilket har föranlett en stundtals svårtolkad glacialmorfologi. I de norra och centrala delarna av Skåne retirerade isen mot norr och nordost, samtidigt som södra Skåne och Danmark berördes av lobformade isframstötar från en baltisk isström från söder- och sydost. Sedan länge har forskning pågått för att finna lösningen på isens rörelsThe deglaciation of the Weichselian ice sheet was very complicated and the resulting landscape has been perplexing different researchers throughout the 20th century. In the northern parts of Scania, the ice sheet receded towards north and northeast, while a dynamic ice stream with fast flowing ice influenced southern Scania and Denmark. The earlier researchers have mainly focused on striae, the di

Detta arbete har som sitt främsta syfte att belysa lagregleringen samt avsaknaden av lagreglering gällande beslutanderätt vid gemensam vårdnad. Behandlingen av ämnet inriktar sig på den nuvarande lagstiftningen och därtill föreslagna åtgärder för att förbättra möjligheterna för föräldrar med gemensam vårdnad att bibehålla den gemensamma vårdnaden, trots att det råder meningsskiljaktigheter i en viThe aim of this thesis is to clarify the legal situation regarding Swedish custody law. It also discusses the absence of legal rules in terms of right of decision in joint legal custody. The essay is structured to focus on the current legislation and also to argue proposed measures to improve the opportunities for parents with joint legal custody to maintain the joint legal custody even though the

This thesis aims at presenting the differences and similarities between the Swedish and Canadian legal system, by means of search and seizure regulations. In doing this I hope to provide the readers, whether it is a Swede or a Canadian, with a perspective on their own legal system. In the limited time and space offered for the completion of this thesis, I had to choose one specific area of law to

The Court's refusal to implement horizontal direct effect upon directives may, in some cases, lead to injustice. It can not be considered just and equitable that individuals who do not comply with provisions stemming from a supreme legal order are able to avoid retribution. This situation may be seen as further exacerbated by the fact that public funds are used to finance the shortcomings. Wha

Two different family laws apply in Singapore. Marriages between members of the majority population, regardless of personal religious belief, are regulated by civil law in the Women's Charter. Marriages between persons officially categorized by birth as Muslims are explicitly excluded from the application of civil law. Instead, and regardless of whether or not the intending spouses practice Isl
