Driving comfort is subjective; every driver has their set of preferences on how a car should behave. As the ability to control and suppress unwanted disturbances has increased with increased technological abilities, the demands on driving comfort in modern cars also rise. To account for these new demands, the testing and evaluation of the driving comfort becomes increasingly important for car manu

Biobränslen anses vara ett miljövänligt alternativ till fossila bränslen eftersom de har potential att minska de globala utsläppen av växthusgaser. Studier har visat att en ökad användning av etanol kan komma att påverka atmosfärens kemiska sammansättning och på så sätt bidra till förhöjda koncentrationer av marknära ozon, en luftförorening som är känd för att orsaka ökad dödlighet. Furaner kan frBiofuels are considered to be an environmental friendly alternative to fossil fuels as they have the potential to reduce the global emissions of greenhouse gases. Studies have showed that an increased use of ethanol could alter the atmospheric chemical composition and enhance urban ozone concentrations resulting in higher human mortality rates. In recent years furanic compounds have been considere

Currently, policy makers put high attention in supplying global energy demand by focusing on 2°C policy; global temperature anomaly based on the global mean temperature of pre-industrial era (13.7°C). How to keep the 2°C policy at global scope is the main question in climate framework. It is widely believed that primary energy resources (mainly coal, oil and natural gas) with focus on shale gas re

The Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) algorithm has been widely used in the Digital Signal Processing industry as a rudimentary operation to select the specific frequency components of a signal, which has been involved with other time domain signals. In order to fulfill the requirements of executing precise calculations and less power & area consumption, an algorithm with less number of adders and

NuRDigt värre All genetisk information finns i DNA:t. Det är där informationen finns som bestämmer ifall någon får bruna eller blåa ögon, att vi har (oftast) tio tår, att vår lever producerar galla, all information som gör oss till oss helt enkelt. Informationen i DNA:t transkriberas till RNA som i sin tur kan translateras till protein. Alla våra celler bär på exakt samma DNA men ändå skiljer de sAll biological information is located in the genome. However, not all of the genome is available for transcription at all times. In the nucleus, genomic DNA is tightly packed around histones which are further packed into nucleosomes and chromatin. The packing of DNA inhibits transcription factors from transcribing the underlying DNA. To make the DNA more accessible, the packing can be modified in

The purpose of this paper is to investigate how financial management works in smaller construction projects by studying a case company, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of their routines and systems. The objective of the study is to provide improvement suggestions for the case company and their financial management. Problem: How to work with financial management in smaller construction

Ett krav för att den vanliga konsumenten ska använda sig av ett Internet of Things-system är användarvänligheten. PalCom efterlevde inte detta krav, men numera kan användarna genom vårt grafiska gränssnitt enkelt få en överblick över sina kopplingar.Internet of Things (IoT) has become a frequent subject mentioned worldwide. PalCom is a system for handling the problems that occurs in IoT applications and is focused on the user groups that are developers and skilled PalCom participants. This forecloses a higher level user group for managing their own PalCom network, e.g. end users for a smart home where they build their own smart home manager w

Syftet av detta arbete är att visa hur en person utan insiderinformation kan kartlägga nybyggnationen av kontorsfastigheter och utvärdera huruvida det är en balans mellan utbud och efterfrågan på denna marknad. Arbetet grundar sig i antagandet att det finns en obalans i utbud och efterfrågan på Malmös framtida kontorsmarknad. Till arbetet samlades information från hemsidor, marknadsundersökningar

The Indo-Pakistani rivalry has lasted for more than seven decades, experienced four major wars, countless armed skirmishes and extensive cross-border communal violence, resulting in more than one million casualties, and enormous amounts of resources diverted towards security. The disputed Kashmir region is often cited as the main reason for the persistence of the conflict. However, due to environm

This thesis analysed the development of international trade patterns during the period from 1980 to 2013. More specifically, the research focused on the structure of North-South relations during this period and how China has influenced its dynamic. The legacy of colonialism left behind a particlar configuration of international trade, which was highly disadvantageous for the countries of the globa

Att bygga hus med glas är ingen nyhet. Det ger fördelar som att kunna se ut och få in dagsljus. Växthus skapar en skyddande miljö för växter, och då solen strålar värms byggnaden upp genom växthuseffekten. Kombineras ett vanligt boende med ett omslutande växthus skapas ett så kallat naturhus. Grundtanken är att kunna leva med minimal miljöpåverkan och maximal livskvalitet. Växthuset ger möjlighet Building houses with glass is not novelty. It provides benefits like being able to look out and shed light inside. Greenhouses create a protective environment for plants, and the sun rays heats up the building due to the greenhouse effect. Combining a standard accommodation with a wraparound greenhouse creates a so-called “nature house”. The basic idea is to be able to live with minimal environmen

Chronic pesticide exposure has been linked to several human diseases including cancer, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis, cardiovascular disease, and kidney disease. Due to the potential risks to human health, the usage of pesticides has been a controversial topic. Paraquat (PQ), a commonly used pesticide worldwide, has toxic effects due to its generation of reactive oxy

Migration has always occurred throughout human history although in different shapes and for different motives. The reasons to why people choose to migrate are due to bad or inexistent: economic, environmental, health, food, personal, community and political securities. All together, these securities go under the concept of human security. This concept is beset with a broad perspective, focusing on

The number of employers that has requested to look at jobseekers criminal records has increased significantly between 1995 and 2010. During 2014 an investigation began to review whether or not it should be allowed for employers to make this request from jobseekers. The investigation determined that there should be no circumstances where employers should be able to request a criminal record from jo

Efter att ha träffat många kollegor och vänner som inte upplever att deras förväntningar på sina arbetsuppgifter infrias, är det intressant att utforska hur detta missförstånd i kommunikationen uppstår. Denna studie har därför fokuserat på att undersöka om det redan i platsannonsskedet uppstår ett brus mellan arbetsgivare och arbetssökande, och hur det ser ut. Syftet med uppsatsen är att skapa e

In this paper the author will attempt to lay a foundation of information regarding entrants into the HD interactive entertainment or “video games” market in China using the Porter five competitive forces framework which helps measure the level of competition of the market. Since the entertainment industry in China is heavily regulated by government and gaming consoles have only been released from

The study examines cykelrondellen, the crossing Kaptensgatan–Kungsgatan in Malmö, Sweden. The crossing is seen by many as dangerous even though it is safe based on objective traffic safety numbers. A case study is made on the crossing from a technical viewpoint. The results from this stud

Referenda, as a form of direct democracy, became a popular tool for resolving important questions over the last decades. The issue of rights of sexual minorities, among others, has also become a quite popular topic for referenda. Referenda on human rights, also known as “anti-homosexual” referenda,” discriminatory “referenda or “referenda on the protection of family”, are dedicated to resolving th

The economic costs associated with currency crises following successful speculative attacks may motivate intervention by the public sector. This thesis uses macro data to examine the effects of two forms of public intervention with regard to debt inflows on the economic costs of a crisis. On the one hand, official creditors may provide debt financing to the country’s public sector. On the other,
