Det går inte att bortse från den stora efterfråga som idag råder gällande ny utveckling av metoder för att ersätta icke förnybara material (så som stål och betong exempelvis) med förnybara material (såsom trä) i lastbärande konstruktioner. Trä som material har en del nackdelar och det är just dessa man skulle vilja eliminera eller begränsa för att nå fram till ett material med minimal påverkan för

The aim of the thesis project was partially to map the process of procurement (and associated processes) within the Scalae department of Altran. Scalae works with ”Innovative (or New) Product Development” (IPD/NPD) in outsourced projects which are completely driven by the department following an agreed-upon framework. Purchases made in a project are made by Scalae and eventually forwarded to the c
Music has several functions in the Christian community and worship – it unites people by harmonizing many voices into one, it creates community and shapes identity through its message, and by its piercing beauty it is a sign that indicates and marks out eternity. This essay asks the questions why the small circle of friends with a shared interest in mysticism, Flodbergskretsen, elaborated their ow
The Bogong and Turnip moths are two species of the genus Agrotis, similar in size, but different in life style. The Bogong moth is a long distance migratory species endemic to Australia, whereas the Turnip moth has a wide spread in Africa, Europe and Asia where it is considered a pest. The ocelli are single-lens eyes of the camera type, whose role is still unknown in many insects, including the st
Rehabilitering efter en stroke är viktig för att den drabbade individen ska återfå så stor del av de påverkade kroppsfunktionerna som möjligt. Balansen blir ofta försämrad hos individer som överlevt stroke och behöver stärkas för att inte hindra individen i dennes vardagliga liv. Rehabiliteringsträningen av balansen bör innehålla motivationsfaktorer för att träningen ska ske i tillräckligt stor omThe rehabilitation after a stroke is important for the individual so that the affected body functions recover as much as possible. The balance is often impaired after a stroke and need to be strengthend to not impede the stroke-survivor in the daily life. The rehabilitation training of the balance should include motivation factors for the training to take place in sufficiently large scale. The aim
Water meters provide the basis for generation of monthly water consumption invoices by the utility for all its customers. This makes the water meters an integral part of the utility’s asset base. However, like any asset, these meters sometimes fail to function as expected and may under register or not register any water consumption by the customers. When this happens, the revenues of the utility a

I Sverige är höghastighetsjärnvägar ett debatterat ämne. Undersökningsarbeten har startat för det första steget i ett höghastighetsnät – Ostlänken mellan Järna och Linköping – som planeras vara trafikerad år 2028. Höghastighetsjärnvägen är avsedd att tillåta hastigheter på 320 km/h. Vid så höga hastigheter blir dimensioneringskraven för brobanans vibrationer strängare. Tidigare studier har visat aIn Sweden, high-speed railways is a subject for public debate. The first stage of a high-speed train network, Ostlänken between Stockholm and Linköping, is under investigation, and is planned to be trafficked in 2028. The high-speed railway is intended to hold traffic with speeds up to 320 km/h. At such speeds, the design requirements of the accelerations of the bridge superstructure become more s

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning (1) En stor del av världens befolkning dabbas av cancer någon gång under deras livstid. Cancerceller har en förmåga att bli resistenta mot de cellgifter som används som behandling. Det finns därför en stor efterfrågan av nya substanser som kan hjälpa oss att förstå de fundamentala orsakerna till olika typer av cancer och eventuellt fungera som botemedel. KolhydraAbstract (1) Carbohydrates are a class of biomolecules that play important roles within the cellular biochemistry. Functionalized carbohydrates are building blocks in our DNA in addition to being major components of the cell’s signaling molecules called proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans. Certain carbohydrates with aromatic side chains have been shown to inhibit the biosynthesis of these signali
Riga is the capital of Latvia and the largest city of the Baltic States. Both historically and at present the city is an important infrastructural hub between Eastern and Western Europe, yet the city itself is rather disconnected. The main problem is that the city centre, which was built prior to the industrialisation up to the end 19th century, is currently separated from the new city built in th
