The question of borders in regional planning have gained increased interest in recent developments of human geography. In the four corners of the region Scania, there are four different sub-regional organisations that work towards intermunicipal cooperation and development centred on a core growth engine. But how do these sub-regions relate to and affect the borders that surround them? To answer t

In this work a simultaneous localisation and mapping system, SLAM, has been constructed which can incorporate inertial measurement unit, IMU, data such as accelerometer and gyroscope data to estimate the metric scale and the relationship to the gravity vector of the SLAM solution. The system can perform accurate pose predictions at 100Hz based on IMU data and previous camera poses. An improved KLT

This study aims at investigating the crime prevention measures in Sofielund, Malmö. BID Sofielund is a unique collaboration between property owners and the public sector in a Swedish context, where they work together to make the district safer and more attractive. Therefore, there is every reason to investigate the crime preventing methods used in this collaboration. And what interests are behind

Urbanization is a strongly fortified global trend. The Swedish population is increasing; however, many municipalities are faced with declining populations. Currently, regional imbalance and rural development is given more room in the social- and political debate. While rurality is often mentioned with negative emphasis, urbanity gets associated with prosperity and thus sets the norm. The region of

Bakgrund: Sjukskrivningarna relaterat till psykisk ohälsa har ökat de senaste åren och behandlingarna rapporteras vara otillräckliga. Det saknas kunskap och resurser för att arbeta med individer med psykisk ohälsa.

In this paper the use of integrated generators for airplane engines is examined. In order to accomplish this goal a combination of MatLab with FEMM and ANSYS Maxwell is used to make incrementally more and more detailed analysis of the integrated generator concept. After numerous numerical experiments and simulations it is concluded that the implementation of an integrated generator on the proposed

Numerical methods are the norm in modern structural engineering practice Models based on elasticity theory offer powerful methods to analyse complex structural behaviours and accurately predict probable deformation behaviour. Numerical methods in general and particularly finite element methods offer great numerical accuracy. Yet the tendency is that with increased accuracy come the downside of dec

Studien handlade om klargörande samtal på en familjerådgivning i södra Sverige. Syftet var att undersöka hur en begränsad insats, en intervention i form av en sammanhangsmarkering i samtalen gjorde en skillnad i andelen avhopp och percent reaching target, dvs. att personen hamnar på grönt område i den beräknade förväntanskurvan i Feedback Informerad Terapi (FIT).

Samhället förändras i en snabb takt och omställning kräver nya och starka samarbeten mellan industri och samhälle. För att arbeta mer effektivt och framgångsrikt med att uppnå FN:s 17 globala hållbarhetsmål har Sverige skap

För att kunna begränsa brandspridningen och bidra till brandskyddet delas en byggnad oftast in i brandceller. För att vid utrymning kunna ta sig till en säker plats kommer personerna som försöker ta sig ut troligtvis passera genom en öppning i brandcellsgräns. För att kunna bibehålla brandcellsgränsen trots användande av dörrar, fönster och andra öppningar finns det vissa krav på utformning av desIn most of the studies that are made for pedestrian flow through doors, reaserchers have just looked at the flow through oppenings without doors. This study aims to figure out how much impact the configuration of the door has on pedestrian flow. The configurations that have been examined are open doors, free swinging doors, doors that open inwards, doors that open outwards and the differences betw

Inom späd- och småbarnspsykiatrin behandlas familjer av en mängd olika anledningar. Det kan bero på dåligt mående hos föräldern, att känslorna för barnet inte är så starka som förväntat, att relationen mellan barn och förälder är konfliktfylld eller att det finns en oro över barnets symtom.
