It is impossible to conceive our modern world without plastics. Since the mass production of plastics began, humanity has produced around 8 billion tons of plastic waste, and only 9% has been recycled. Terephthalic acid polymers such as poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) have been massively produced over the last years thanks to their characteristics and applications. Due to their limited biodegra

Alfa Laval has been using its unique adhesive mixture for over 50 years for bonding of rubber gaskets to the corrugated plates used in their heat exchangers. The adhesive mix is designated GC6 and is composed out of an epoxy component and a phenolic component. GC6 has throughout the years shown exceptionally good performance in both adhesion to the rubber gasket and to the plate with minimal pre-t

Syftet med den här studien är att bidra med kunskap kring hur medias rapportering av stress - i ett diskursivt perspektiv - ser ut avseende män och kvinnor samt om det finns några skillnader i språkbruk och omfattning. Studien behandlar hur diskursen om mäns och kvinnors stress konstrueras i media, samt om dessa diskurser reproducerar traditionella könsroller som står i konflikt med jämställdhetsm

Utifrån målet att främja psykosocialt hälsosamma arbetsplatser, riktades fokus mot interaktioners kvalitet. Syftet med föreliggande studie var att, med hjälp av the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) och dess konstrukt, undersöka de kognitiva förutsättningar som ligger till grund för inkluderande beteenden samt vilka av dessa konstrukt som var mest betydande. Inkluderande beteenden definierades som The present study focused on the quality of interactions based on the goal of promoting a psychologically healthy workplace. Using the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and its constructs, the purpose was to investigate the cognitive conditions that precede inclusive behavior and which of these constructs that are the most important. Inclusive behavior is defined as a prosocial behavior category an

Bebyggelsen från miljonprogrammet utgör en stor andel av det svenska bostadsbeståndet. På flera håll i Sverige börjar dessa bostadsområden bli i behov av omfattande renoveringsåtgärder. Många av dem, framförallt i de större städerna, har med tiden dessutom fått komplexa sociala problem som utanförskap och otrygghet. De huserar till stor del resurssvaga invånare vilket gör frågan om upprustning känThe buildings from the Million Program era make up a large part of the housing stock in Sweden. In many parts of Sweden these areas are in need of comprehensive renovations. Many of them, especially in the larger cities, have developed complex social problems such as segregation and unsafe areas. They house, to a large extent, minorities and people with limited resources. This makes the topic of u

The research area of management control and risk management is relatively novel, especially in the integration aspect of the two. The regulated environment of banks is of interest to this topic due to an already existing high extent of risk management within the organizations. This study uses theoretical foundations of established management control systems and risk management factors, aiming to g

The Bloch beamline on 1.5 GeV ring at MAX IV Laboratory is dedicated to measure electronic structure of materials using the technique angle resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (ARPES) and spin resolved photoelectron spectroscopy (spin-ARPES). The main goal of the thesis is to experimentally determine, the energy resolution of the Bloch beamline at 21 eV and 62 eV as a function of the exit slit ope

Nearly 40 percent of overall energy usage in the European Union is used by buildings and 85 percent of that is for heating and cooling them[4]. This massive amount of energy is thought to be able to be lowered by introducing smarter control of the building systems. Technology to do this is continuously being developed and improved. The newest analysis system developed by Schneider Electric uses cl

The background or idea of this project came from when I was living in Chamonix, France, for two winter seasons where I skied and climbed. During this time, I saw how much humans really do affect the environment. This in turn made me want to investigate what sustainability is and how we, as future designers, can influence this subject. The investigation revealed that the key to a more sustainable

This thesis concerns the implementation of quantum algorithms on a computer vision problem called bundle adjustment. Bundle adjustment can be simplified for illustration purposes by the following example. Two different cameras take a picture of the same object in different angles. Features of the pictures on the different cameras can be seen as points and, in a space sense, they are desired to be

The objective in this thesis is to develop an autopilot for a personal watercraft (PWC) – popularly known as a jetski – that is capable of maneuvering in calm and rough waters alike. Maneuvering a PWC in calm waters is usually easy. It gets more challenging in rough waters, where environmental disturbances that can significantly destabilize the craft are present. In this project, two control stra
