Fiber-reinforced polymer matrix composites are being used increasingly in lightweight applications where high strength and stiffness is required. One of the main challenges with designing components from such materials is to predict the ultimate strength and behaviour of the structure. Furthermore, due to anisotropic material response and a complex micro structure, various interacting failure mode

Ett insättningselement på MAX IV är en förutsättning för det ljus man vill skapa, men påverkar elektronerna som far runt i anläggningen negativt - med hjälp av smarta elektromagneter kan detta lösas. MAX IV är en partikelaccelerator i världsklass. I anläggningen i utkanten av Lund swishar elektronerna i ljusets hastighet runt i enorma ringar av vakuumrör. Till skillnad från vad många tror krockasWhen installing an insertion device (ID) in a storage ring the electron beam is affected. The positional displacement and angle deflection is called orbit displacement (OD) and higher order effects such as focusing of the electron beam are referred to as linear optics. The ability to perform multiple simultaneous experiments is crucial in a synchrotron light source such as MAX IV. This is impossib

ABSTRACT One of the major aims of fantastic literature is to fight against common forms of representation. A clear example of that are the short stories of Mexican Francisco Tario. The present study examines the literary resources of estrangement and personification in relation to four stories included in the author’s first publication, La noche: “La noche del féretro”, “La noche de la gallina”, “

Denna studie handlar om den rättsliga prövningen av en europeisk arresteringsorder i Sverige och Irland. En arresteringsorder är ett rättsligt avgörande i syfte att begära överlämnande av en person för lagföring eller verkställighet av ett frihetsberövande straff. Den utfärdas i ett land och ska utan ingående prövning verkställas i ett annat. Samarbetet kring den europeiska arresteringsordern skilThis study is based on the judicial review of a European arrest warrant in Sweden and Ireland. An arrest warrant is a judicial decision to request the surrender of a person for prosecution or enforcement of a custodial sentence. It is issued in one country and shall be executed in another without thorough examination. The European arrest warrant differs from the traditional extradition procedure i

Emotion regulation and emotional work can have both positive and negative effects. Previous studies have suggested that emotion regulation is taught through early life socialization, and that this socialization may be gendered. If this were the case, we learn to regulate our emotions differently, and for some to, for instance, be socialized into suppressing their emotions may lead to negative cons

Recently, the consumer interest and revenue from domestic aide robots have been rapidly increasing. A report from 2018 estimates that the global revenue from this sector will rise from $6.4 billion to nearly $23 billion by 2022, an increase by 250%. This thesis covers a concept development process defining a multi-purpose, autonomous household robot. The focus user group is consumers, and it is ai

Transport planning has been in favour of and prioritised motorised transport for almost a century. During this time, cars have been given street space at the expense of more sustainable transport modes. The auto-normative paradigm thus created a spatial imbalance, an injustice, in the amount of space that are devoted to the different transport modes. The main objective of this thesis is to analyse

Advancing digitisation affects all areas of life, including activism and political participation. While the internet has long been seen as a way of democratising society and its systems, in recent years more and more critical voices opposing this view have been raised. One of the main criticisms is that the low-threshold opportunities for participation offered by digital media lead to slacktivist

Kroniska hjärtsviktspatienters egenvård och reglering av diuretika dosering – Koncept och arkitektur av ett beslutsstödsystem Hjärtsviktspatienter har behov av nya lösningar för att underlätta deras egenvård och att bibehålla sin hälsa. I arbetet har därmed ett beslutsstöd utvecklats för att stödja patienten att bedöma sitt tillstånd och reglera ett av sina läkemedel. Brödtexten Hjärtsvikt är eFluid overload is the build up of excessive fluid in the body and is a common condition amongst chronic heart failure patients. Fluid overload is treated with diuretics but the level of excessive fluid can vary. To match the fluctuations a flexible diuretics regime may be prescribed where patients are instructed to temporarily increase the dosage upon onset or worsening of fluid overload. In this

Canals have always been an important part of The Netherlands and played a big role within the urban development of the cities. As many of the canals lost their functions by the 19th century, a lot were replaced with streets infrastructure. Replacing the canals with streets has affected the overall ambience of many neighbourhoods in The Netherlands. The elimination of the water element caused many

I en allt mer globaliserad värld där den teknologiska utvecklingen fortskrider i högt tempo blir gränsöverskridande forskning och möjligheten till informationssinsamlande över nationsgränser av allt större betydelse. För allmänheten är biobanker ett relativt okänt begrepp och dess syfte likaså. Faktum är att biobanker är en grundläggande förutsättning för att forskning ska kunna bedrivas på ett In an increasingly globalized world where technological development is continuing at a rapid pace, cross-border research and the possibility of gathering information across borders becomes of increasing importance. For the general public, the term biobank and its purpose is relatively unknown. In fact, biobanks are a fundamental prerequisite for research to be successfully conducted. Biobanks are

Elitidrottare utsätts kontinuerligt för fysiologiska och psykologiska krav. En alltför krävande mental och fysisk ansträngning riskerar att öka skaderisken bland unga elitidrottare och kan yttras genom såväl fysiska skador som mentala bekymmer. Syftet med denna kvalitativa ansats var att undersöka för unga handbollsspelares upplevelser av idrottspsykologis träning och i förlängningen huruvida tränElite athletes are constantly exposed to physiological and psychological demands. An excessively demanding mental and physiological effort could increase the risk of injury among young elite athletes and can be manifested through physical injuries as well as mental problems. The purpose of this qualitative approach was to examine young handball players’ experiences of sport psychology training and

During the last decades the Swedish Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Services (CAP) has undergone major organizational changes. According to social research the changes are mainly due to new public management reforms. The aim of this study was to examine how social workers, i.e. psychiatry counsellors, experienced and coped with their working conditions within CAP. The method chosen for this study

Determining whether the information read online is credible or not has become a crucial part of the process of consuming new information. With technology and the internet becoming all more advanced and developing continuously, the question regarding the influence of an argument’s strength on information credibility arose. The aim of this study was to contribute to the field of strategic communicat

The European Union (EU) has faced numerous severe crises during the 21st century. Rather than standing united and finding joint solutions, the intergovernmental negotiations have often revolved around furthering member state preferences, and maximising individual outcomes. Surprisingly, when Russia invaded Ukraine, in the spring of 2022, the EU managed to field a relatively successful and united r

Fokus på offentliga diskussioner och vetenskapliga utforskningar som berör intim human-robot-interaction blir alltmer framträdande. Likväl saknas det psykometriska instrument avsedda för explorationen av intim social kontakt mellan människa och social robot. Det övergripande syftet med denna studie var att utveckla ett nytt psykometriskt test, Robot Intimate Receptiveness Scale (RIRS) för undersökPublic discussions and scientific inquiries centered around human-robot relationships are rapidly gaining momentum. As artificial intelligence integrates into new social landscapes, corresponding scientific explorations are called for. As of today, there are no psychometric instruments tailored to measure intimate social contact within human-robot contexts. In the light of this gap, the primary ob
