Industry 4.0 can be described as the next generation-factories that is characterised by putting a high demand for automation and flexible production lines. The proposed way to achieve this goal is through a large number of Industrial IoT devices(IIoT) in the factory, some having high availability- and low-latency requirements. This demands for a software that can monitor and manage the application
Over the recent years the interest in cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin has increased significantly. The price of Bitcoin has gone up substantially since the end of 2020 and more individual and institutional investors are incorporating Bitcoin to their portfolio. This thesis explores the features of Bitcoin as another financial asset, specifically compared to Gold as Bitcoin has been referred to as the
When critical scholars coming from different academic disciplines, such as sociology, gender studies, or Black studies, meet and discuss today, discussions sometimes take the form of whether recognition of particular identities or redistribution of material resources is of most importance. In this thesis, my aim is to explore resources that could contribute to moving beyond this framing of the que
The aim of this study was to explore social workers’ experiences with the assessment tool UngDOK at Maria clinics in Skane. The past 30 years has seen a rise in popularity of evidence based practices and increased requirements for scientific evidence of the effects of various treatments. Several manual based evaluation and assessment instruments have been implemented in the field of social work in
The aim of this study was to investigate how social workers look at the boundaries between their private sphere and working hours. Furthermore, it is intended to study how social workers look at work-related situations that may occur in their leisure time and how they handle them. The selection of respondents consisted of social workers who had a social education and had a regular professional con
Intresset för att bygga fler och högre trähus i Sverige har senaste tiden ökat bland annat då trä är ett betydligt mer miljövänligt alternativ att bygga med än stål och betong. Stomsystem i trä har dock ingen naturlig sammanhållning likt en platsgjuten betongstomme och därför måste anslutningarna i en trästomme hanteras explicit. RISE (Research Institutes of Sweden) driver en konceptstudie om högaThe interest in building more and higher timber buildings in Sweden has recently increased, for example, because wood is a much more environmentally friendly alternative to construct with then steel and concrete. Frame system in wood has no natural cohesion like a cast concrete frame and therefore the connection in a wooden frame must be managed explicitly. RISE (Research Institutes of Sweden) run
Denna studie har genomförts på Tetra Pak för att studera deformation i vätskekartong under vikning. När en förpackning formas i fyllmaskinerna viks kartongen enligt biglinjerna. Det finns ett stort intresse av att studera vikprocessen då den är avgörande för den slutgiltiga kvaliteten av förpackningen. Matematiska modeller används för att simulera kartong men dessa kräver verkliga mätningar och dThis study has been conducted at Tetra Pak to study deformation in liquid packaging paperboard during the folding process. When a package is formed in the filling machines, the paperboard is folded according to the crease lines. It is of great interest to study the folding process since it is crucial to the final quality of the package. Mathematical models are used for simulation of paperboard bu
The thesis purpose is to determine how people’s evacuation performance is affected by carrying weight while performing a stair-climbing motion. The fire safety engineering and physiology fields are merged to increase the knowledge regarding ascending evacuation. A laboratory experiment was conducted, in which participants performed three different sessions; during the first session, participants p
In many applications involving mobile devices it is essential to track their position. Moreover, it is usually desired, to perform this localization in a distributed fashion without using a central processing unit. In this case, only distance measurements to reference nodes which are in range can be utilized. It is proposed in this thesis to also use distance measurements to other moving objects,
This work deals with the issue of implementing a UML-RT standard, one of the latest notations for object oriented specification and design, in the developing-process of new real-time software for Radio Base Stations in the 2000 series at Ericsson. UML-RT is the real-time extension of the Unified Modeling Language (UML). The thesis investigates the design-, implementation- and verification-problems
Urbanisering med växande och tätare städer i kombination med klimatförändring som förväntas kunna ge extremare väder kräver ett smart markanvändande där flera funktioner kan uppfyllas på samma yta. Ett exempel på en multifunktionell anläggning är skelettjordskonstruktioner som har en bärförmåga som hanterar ovanliggande laster, skapar gynnsamma förhållanden för träd och hanterar dagvatten med reniUrbanization with growing and denser cities in combination with climate change that is expected to produce more extreme weather requires a smart land use where several functions can be fulfilled on the same surface. An example of a multifunctional facility is structural soil that have a bearing capacity to handle loads, create favorable conditions for trees and handle stormwater with purification
The purpose of this thesis is to try to establish a mechanism that will enable the Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf to get access to legal interpretation of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. The mandate of the Commission is to validate the outer limits line delineated by coastal States. For that, the Commission has to apply provisions of the Convention. The use
Studiens syfte var att psykometriskt utprova en svenskspråkig version av Hayling Test, ett neuropsykologiskt test som framför allt avser att mäta verbal inhibitionsförmåga. Testet utprovades på en frisk kontrollgrupp (N = 76) i åldern 40-95 år. Studien fann ett signifikant negativt samband mellan ålder och prestationer på testet. Män presterade signifikant bättre än kvinnor på ett av delmåtten. DeThe aim of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of an adapted Swedish version of the Hayling Test, a neuropsychological test which mainly intends to measure response inhibition. The test was administered to a healthy control group (N = 76) ranging in age from 40 to 95 years. The study found a significant negative correlation between age and test performance. Men performed signific
Aeromobility and sustainability are current political issues which given available technology today are incompatible. This study aims to through a discourse analysis critically examine how Karlstad Airport as an example of this is constructed as a political matter. Drawing on Maarten Hajers social-interactive discourse analysis, which is operationalised using Carol Bacchis analytical framework the
The purpose of this thesis is to describe and analyze the development of the agriculture in the county of Skåne (Scania) and to see if there are explanations to be found why the agricultural land is exploited today. By theories from human ecology I discuss the interconnections between human, nature and society both in a historical and a present perspective. Focus is on how the landscape, humans an
The oxidation of free DHA, DHA mixed with PC, and DHA incorporated into PC, PE, or TG was evaluated to determine which lipid provided DHA with the best protection against oxidation. DHA was either situated at the sn-1 position, sn-2 position, or both positions of the phospholipid, whereas the TG contained DHA at all positions. All lipids were incubated as bulk lipids, in chloroform, or as an emuls
