In this master’s thesis, the development of a new belt tensioning solution, for use in ASSA ABLOY's sliding doors is treated. As a starting point for the work, ASSA ABLOY’s current belt tension solution has been used as a reference. On this reference, an extensive problem analysis have been carried out, including interviews, field studies and laboratory tests in order to understand what is req
Today’s work environment is currently undergoing radical changes and although the aware-ness of social collaboration is growing within organizations, they still struggle with the digital transformation and thereby with the integration of Enterprise Social Network (ESN).

Kvinnorna får tidsbegränsade uppehållstillstånd och om anknytningen bryts föreligger inte längre förutsättningar för uppehållstillståndet, och kvinnan utvisas. Om kvinnan kaDomestic violence, and primarily men's violence against women, is a well-recognized social problem. A particularly vulnerable group is abused women with uncertain right of residence.

The use of area-based approaches in urban regeneration is widely accepted in the European community. As these projects are based on the context of the focal area, there is no one-size-fits-all solution on how to design and implement those. The Eco-city Augustenborg project is an environmentally-led urban regeneration project initiated in Malmö in 1998. Today, fifteen years after the project was in
This study sought to investigate the effect of microplastics on Mytilus edulis’s ability to filtrate water. The mussels were sampled at Hanö bay located in the Baltic Sea, and were transported to a controlled environment. The mussels were exposed to three different solutions, one containing a concentration of 1 000 Microbeads (diameter 10 μm) per liter, one containing the same amount of plastic be
Organisational learning is assumed to be a part of creating improved work processes in an organisation. This type of learning can be difficult to achieve in operational and reactive work environments. Challenges in observable causality, time constraints and complex external conditions means that the operational control room is one of those reactive work environments. There is a need for a system t
The basis of this study lies in implementing Information systems (IS) and the related issue of user resistance. An IS-implementation can be a challenging process and there are numerous pitfalls. One of these pitfalls is the emergence of user resistance, and previous research indicates the management of user resistance can be affected by contextual factors of the IS-implementation. The purpose of t
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Geografiska informationssystem på internet är ett relativt nytt fenomen som främst har utvecklats från ett behov att distribuera geografisk data, dvs utbyte av digitala geografiska data och tillhörande tjänster. Men det är även ett kraftfullt verktyg för att presentera information på internet.

On a global scale, the energy system is the biggest contributor to anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions, which accelerate the processes of global warming and climate change. The sustainability transition of energy systems is fundamental if the Paris Agreement goal of keeping the increase in global average temperature to below 2˚C compared to preindustrial levels is to be achieved. Transitions ar

The impacts of climate change are being seen within the estuarine environment through erosion and shoreline retreat, associated with sea-level rise and changes in storm activity. Restoration oyster reefs have been identified as a working-with-nature strategy to protect and restore these shoreline environments, stabilising sediment, and reducing erosion. Despite restoration projects already being i
