The use of an object-oriented approach in software engineering has proven to be successful for many years, but in the fields of mechanics and automation it has been ignored for long. The Tetra Pak Carton Bottle automation team believes that a switch from a function-oriented architecture to an object-oriented one would be of benefit not only to them but also any department which is involved with de
Due to the possibility of nanotechnology becoming the next general purpose technology, generating considerable socio-economic benefits, it has become popular with policy-makers and academics around the world, and led to massive investments in national R&D programmes. While in some cases nanotechnology is still in its early stages of research, in many others it has already resulted in innovatio
The aim of this study was to shed light on how children and young adults that were subject to foster care placement were described in the advertisement of the Swedish website Familjehemsbanken, according to the fourth and eighteenth guideline of Consolidated Code of Advertising and Marketing Communication Practice. The purpose of our study was to problematize how children and young adults were des
Popular summary: Air quality data mart built in this study consists of historical air pollutant data for cities across Ontario. This data is available at the Ontario ministry of environment website from 2000-2007 for most of the cities. There is missing data for some of the cities and some pollutants as well. It is because the monitoring of those specific pollutants did not commence in or before 2
In the north-east part of Lund, Sweden, the MAX IV facility is (in the event of writing this thesis) under construction. MAX IV is a synchrotron radiation facility which has a high requirement regarding low vibrations. Within this thesis a nearby road-bridge for the highway E22 was studied using experimental and numerical methods. The aim was to determine the magnitude of the road-bridge influence
Abstract Migration is a widespread phenomenon in nature, observed in many different taxa. Migration is often caused by changes in food availability, physical conditions and predation risks. Moving is energetically costly, and hence migration is likely to be a trade-off between increased survival and an energetic cost for migrating, the cost could take shape in decreased fecundity and lower body c
"It´s difficult, there is a big grey zone”. A qualitative study of preschool teachers’ thoughts on the obligation to report There are several professionals in Sweden who are obligated by law to report when they suspect a possible case of a child being maltreated. The aim of this study was to capture preschool teachers’ thoughts on what that obligation means. How does it work in the field? D
The aim for this project is to improve and replace ArjoHuntleigh´s existing scoop stretcher with a new concept. The field-of-use for the current stretcher is in hospital- and homecare, although other competitive scoop stretchers are used for ambulance emergency care. For this reason, the possibility to extend the target group is investigated. Firstly, a comprehensive study, i.a. through study vis
The aim of this thesis project was to study the reaction solution’s effect on the formation dynamics and material properties of the mesoporous silica SBA-15. The common synthesis procedure of SBA-15 was applied at 60°C, with 2.5 wt% Pluronic P104 dissolved in 1.6 M hydrochlorid acid. Simple sodium salts (NaCl, NaBr, NaI) or short to medium length alcohols (MeOH, EtOH, 1-PrOH, 2-PrOH, 1-BuOH, 2-BuO
The purpose of our paper is to examine the relationship and interactions between oil price movements and stock market indexes in main two oil exporting countries - Russia and Norway from January 1998 to March 2011, and test how and to what extent oil prices together with other variables influence stock markets. Apart from crude oil price, we also include to our model some macroeconomic explanatory
This report deals with the implementation of a Japanese word prediction engine written by the author. As this type of software does not seem to exist for Japanese at the time of writing, it could prove useful in Japanese augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) as a software tool used to improve typing speed and reduce the amount of keystrokes needed to produce text. Word prediction, in co
Organizational resource acquisition including finance and people in a dynamic environment affects the venture’s business activities and even its establishment. This paper aims to examine the concept mass customization and the process of obtaining resource commitments for the creation of a new venture called D.B.M. in the face of liabilities of newness. To this end, a case study based on the first-
Sweden has one of the most restrictive HIV transmission laws in the world. The Communicable Diseases Act contains the duty to inform, demanding that HIV positive people must inform their partners about their HIV status before sexual intercourse. Sex is also not permitted without a condom. Charges can be brought against HIV positive people not only in the case of actual HIV transmission, but also w
For the Geneva motor show 2006 I created a special Trim and Colour for Pininfarina’s three production cars. Trim and Colour means the complete design of materials and colours used in the car exterior and interior. In my diploma work I explored the possibility to unite the image of three different cars by the use of material and colours. I analysed the exhibition environment in which they were to
The notion of corporate violations of human rights is gaining ground. Using an inductive method, this report explores the level of responsibility of multinational enterprise for violations of human rights law committed by business partners and affiliates, i.e. the ''imputability''. The topic is important as the ability to reconstruct the organizational structure provides corporate
What is the impact of an enlarged regional trading area on excluded neighbouring countries propensity to export? Utilising the gravity model, this study assesses the impact of EU’s fifth enlargement on Ukraine’s propensity to export in order to explore whether Ukraine has been a bystander to EU’s fifth enlargement. The empirical gravity equation is specified to yield the Within estimate used to ob
Kognitiv beteendeterapi (KBT) kan idag erbjuda evidensbaserade behandlingar för de flesta psykiska sjukdomar, men har inte utvecklats systematiskt för svagbegåvade personer med psykiska besvär. Individerna i denna osynliga befolkningsgrupp är emellertid extra sårbara för psykisk ohälsa pga sina sociala livsvillkor, samt sina psykobiologiska förutsättningar. Med stöd i forskning om KBT för lågbegåCognitive-Behavioural-Therapy (CBT) can today offer evidence-based treatments for most psychological disorders, but has not developed systematically for people with borderline intellectual functioning (IQ 70-85) and their psychological disorders. Individuals in this unseen population are, however, exceptionally vulnerable to psychological disorders because of their social life situation, as well a
