Why have I decided to put the final touches on this document now, almost six years after I left the Lund University School of Industrial Design? In retrospect, with six years of experience as an industrial designer, the focus for my master’s thesis would have been something entirely different, but this document is an interesting snapshot of my thoughts at the half way point between when the doors

Solen är den mest välkända stjärnan för oss. Den tycks vara evig och oföränderlig, utan den hade liv på jorden inte varit möjligt. Noggrann observation och årtionden av forskning har gjort det möjligt för oss att förstå hur solen kom till, hur den utvecklades, och hur den så småningom kommer upphöra att existera. Vi har upptäckt att den är långt ifrån evig och oföränderlig. Den expanderar eller krObserved population of giant planets around evolved stars shows a paucity of planets with semi-major axes below 0.5 au, in contrast to main sequence stars where those planets are present. This lack of close-in planets has been attributed to either planet engulfment due to tidal forces or substantially higher masses of evolved host stars implying dierent initial semi-major axis distributions, becau

The zoo is a place where you as a visitor can experience and see wild animals which they probably would not encounter elsewhere. It is a place for learning about our planets nature and biodiversity. Many species are rapidly disappearing due to human activity. There are for example more tigers in captivity than there are left in the wild. One of the zoos most important roles is the conservation of

To take a nap at the working place is not common and many times not approved by companies in Europe and North America. This project investigates and researches the nap and tries to introduce it into the working climate as a working boost rather than a waste of time. A Nap Around The Corner is my master project, which started off by trying to improve the working situation for people who suffer fro

All competition analysis, including in relation to mergers, begins by defining the relevant market. In sectors where innovation plays a major role, the definition of the relevant market must also take into account the R&D efforts of the merging firms. One field in which R&D poles can be identified early on is the pharmaceutical sector. In March 2015, the European Commission released the pu

During its lifetime a beverage package is exerted to different loading conditions. Therefore an increased knowledge is needed to know how the packaging, and thus the thin layer of aluminium foil in the package, reacts to the prevailing loading scenario in a real case situation. In this thesis uni-axial tensile tests on aluminium foil samples cut out in 11 different orientations is done in order to

Fotosyntes från rymden Data från satelliter är en viktig källa för information om Jorden för forskare. Det finns många olika satelliter och sensorer som används för detta ändamål. Denna studie har analyserat data från två satelliter (MSG/SEVIRI och MODIS) med olika upplösning i tid och rum samt olika omloppstider för att undersöka skillnader mellan dem. Sahelregionen i Afrika ligger mellan SaharaThe aim of this study was to use data from Meteosat Second Generation’s Spinning Enhanced Visible and Infrared Imager (MSG/SEVIRI) to calculate the gross primary production (GPP) in the Sahel region of Africa for 2011 and 2012. GPP was calculated using the light use efficiency method, which relates GPP to the absorbed photosynthetically active radiation the light use efficiency. The results were c

Studiens syfte är att belysa psykoterapeuters användande av humor i familjeterapi. Vi använde oss av semistrukturerade intervjuer och bearbetade intervjumaterialet med utgångspunkt från fenomenologisk metod och med hjälp av en induktiv tematisk analys. Analysarbetet utmynnade i två huvudsakliga teman, Allians och Psykoterapeutisk teknik och personlighet. Samtliga psykoterapeuter beskrev att humor The aim of the study is to highlight the use of humour by psychotherapists in family therapy. We used semistructured interviews and processed the interviews based on a phenomenological approach and using an inductive thematic analysis. The analysis resulted in three main themes; alliance and psychotherapeutic techniques and personality. All the psychotherapists interviewed in the study described t

Vad är mystiken som skapar en attraktion kring de kriminella män som får vissa kvinnor till att vilja inleda en relation? Fenomenet att unga skötsamma kvinnor blir attraherade av män med en kriminell karriär är inget nytt då det oftast betraktas som ett oväntat beteende i samhället då man ofta på ett generellt plan undrar över hur upplevelsen av våld och kärlek kan existera samtidigt i kvinnornas

During the last decade there has been a surge of smart devices on markets around the world. The latest trend is devices that can be worn, so called wearable devices. As for other mobile devices, effective localization are of great interest for many different applications of these devices. However they are small and usually set a high demand on energy efficiency, which makes traditional localizatio
