Abstract The aim of this thesis is to discuss the tools needed to work with environmental issues in a condominium. This includes what the tenants can do to reduce their environmental impacts, and what can be expected in their voluntary work from an environmental perspective. Through a case study in the form of an environmental review of the condominium association Malmöhus 49, a model has been dev
Självskadebeteende är ett fenomen som uppmärksammats alltmer under senare år. Trots att det skett en markant ökning av studier inom området finns det dock fortfarande mycket kvar att förklara. Studiens syfte var att undersöka självuppfattning och kroppsuppfattning hos personer med självskadebeteende. Semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med fyra personer som hade ett aktuellt självskadebeteendSelf-injury has received increasing attention over the last years. Although there has been a marked increase of studies in the field, there is still much to explain. The aim of this study was to investigate self-concept and body image in people with self-injury. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with four individuals who had a current self-injurious behaviour. The study was based on an exp
Background and purpose: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) only radiotherapy has, due to superior soft tissue contrast of MRI and the possible reduction of systematic uncertainties, grown into a promising technique. The purpose of this work is to investigate parts of an MRI only workflow with synthetic computed tomography (sCT) images generated from MRI. This was done through investigation of treatm
In order to store radioactive waste its contents need to be known. Determining radioactive waste can be achieved by different means. The most common method is using a detector to measure the gamma photons produced by the radionuclides in the waste. A widely used method is Segmented Gamma Scanning, in which the waste package is rotated in front of a detector and then raised to the next vertical seg
The Theory of Characteristic Modes (TCM) provides an alternative means of antenna synthesis in compact mobile handsets by taking into account the chassis. This makes it possible to create dual-element Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) antennas in mobile handsets with very little coupling and correlation between the two antennas. But apart from the antennas, modern mobile phones are each equipp
Motivated by the phenomenon of one laptop per child in education at high-school level in the Swedish public sector, this master’s thesis elaborates on the question of ethics in public consumption. My research aims to show that collective actors such as municipalities can be seen as (un)ethical consumers and that they need to become aware of this. What I find problematic is the underlying processes
The number of platforms to support in today's software projects are many and there are a wide range of differences to consider. There are tons of programming languages on the market and each platform, both mobile and desktop, have different preferences on how to develop applications. This do often result in multiple applications, similar to the end user but different to the developers. The sam
In multi body simulation (MBS) using flexible bodies, damping is an important model input to be able to predict the response of a structure with sufficient precision. The purpose of this thesis has been to estimate the structural damping of an experimental setup and implement the estimated damping into MBS-models of the setup. In this thesis the modal properties in terms of natural frequencies, m
Since the introduction of the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS), its impacts on developing countries have been widely discussed by scholars. In this article, we focus on the impacts of stronger Intellectual Property protection, pushed by TRIPS, on Information and Communications Technology (ICT) potentials and performances of the developing countries at diff
Lund is a rapidly growing city, and in a short time two new research facilities, ESS and MAX IV, will be completed. These facilities will deliver their excess heat to the district heating network of Lund which puts a high demand on the network. Kraftringen Energi AB, which owns and operates the network, are also in the process of replacing old pipes which motivates a through investigation of which
The Maputo Declaration was launched in 2003 as a response to the stagnation of African agriculture. The signatories agreed that 10% of public expenditure should be spent on agriculture in an effort to increase agricultural productivity. This paper examines to what degree the goal of the Maputo declaration has been reached. Little to no evidence was found for a direct positive impact on agricultura
