In the field of mechanical engineering, the optimization of machining processes, such as milling, is a critical factor for industrial efficiency and product quality. To this end, accurate tool life models allow for the identification of machining parameters that minimize wear and extend tool life, leading to significant improvements in process efficiency, which can lead to lowered costs, higher pr

This thesis discusses the role of women’s separatism in the organisations of women’s shelters in relation to inclusion of LGBTQ victims of domestic violence. The background for this study is prior studies that show a common occurrence of domestic violence in LGBTQ relationships, as well as a shortage of shelters to turn to, especially for people who doesn’t identify as women. From a queer feminist

Målet med kandidatprojektet var att förbättra arbetsmiljön i snickeriverkstäder, detta då de tenderar att bli skräpiga. Det i sig kräver ständig upprensning där avfallet behöver avlägsnas kontinuerligt. Den primära problemställningen handlar om hantering av spån och restavfall som uppstår vid bearbetning av olika slags material. Oftast lätta partiklar som sprider ut sig, vilket gör det svårare förThe goal of the candidate’s project was to improve the working environment in carpentry workshops, as they tend to get messy. This in itself requires constant cleaning where the waste needs to be removed continuously. The primary problem is the handling of shavings and residual waste that arise when processing different types of material. Mostly light particles that spread out, making it more diff

The incidence of oropharyngeal cancer (OPC) is increasing in developed countries, and OPC is associated with human papillomavirus infection [1, 2]. Immunotherapies show promise as an end-stage treatment for immune-infiltrated tumours. They are only efficacious in 18% of patients leading to investigation of the immune compartment to comprehend which factors contribute to effective treatments. Anti-

The objective of this work was to develop a harmonised Life-Cycle Assessment methodology tailored specifically for assessing the environmental impact of daylighting systems. These systems include various architectural features, such as windows, skylights, or shading devices, designed to optimize the use of daylight in a space. This project aligns with the efforts to unify LCA practices within the

The report delves into the revitalization of Gothenburg's cultural hub, Götaplatsen, and its iconic Konserthuset, aiming to address contemporary challenges and promote diversity. Through contextual analysis and site assessments, the study identifies shortcomings and opportunities to enhance the profile and identity of Götaplatsen and Konserthuset. The project focuses on integrating new functio

Syftet med följande studie var att analysera framställningen av Återställ Våtmarker under 2023 i fyra svenska nyhetskanaler; Aftonbladet, Dagens Nyheter (DN), Sveriges Radio (SR) och Sveriges Television (SVT). Totalt har 112 artiklar analyserats. I studien förs en diskussion kring vad framställningen av organisationen haft för effekter på konsumenterna av nyheterna. Fallstudien är en kvalitativ inThis study analyses four Swedish news channels’ depiction of the protest group Återställ Våtmarker (EN: Restore Wetlands) during the course of the year 2023. The analysed outlets are Aftonbladet, Dagens Nyheter (DN), Sveriges Radio (SR) and Sveriges Television (SVT). In total, a number of 112 articles have been analysed. The study discusses what effect the depiction of Återställ Våtmarker has had

In this thesis we discuss and test ways to improve the performance of inline integration. Inline integration is a tool used for real-time simulations of complex dynamical systems. The idea is to relate information about the system to the numerical method at a model level. Real-time simulations of complex models have become standard in industry. This puts high demands on simulation tools with regar

Rörelsehindrade grupper, som rullstolsanvändare, möter utmaningar när de navigerar trottoarer och vägar på grund av fysiska hinder som trottoarkanter, trappor och lutningar. Trots detta saknar befintliga navigeringstjänster ofta information om dessa hinder, vilket hindrar förmågan att föreslå optimala rutter. Volontärgeografisk information (VGI) erbjuder en samarbetslösning genom att utnyttja frivMovement-impaired groups, like wheelchair users, face challenges navigating sidewalks and pathways due to physical barriers such as curbs, stairs, and inclinations. However, existing navigation services often lack information about these barriers, hindering the ability to suggest optimal routes. Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) offers a collaborative solution by harnessing volunteers'

At the beginning of the summer of 2023, a staple figure of Italian culture and politics passed away after living in the public eye for three decades. Everybody in Italy had an opinion on Silvio Berlusconi, a man whose face was easily seen at least once a day on televisions, newspapers and gossip columns. News of his death circulated quickly, and journalists rushed to comment on his political caree

In the 21st century, technological advancements have profoundly influenced various aspects of human life, enhancing both quality and efficiency. The emergence of Facebook in 2004 marked the dawn of the social media era, while the launch of Apple’s iPhone in 2007 revolutionised the mobile phone industry. Entering the 2020s, the spotlight has shifted towards Virtual Reality and Artificial Intelligen

This study explores the engagement of bisexual individuals with the Netflix series Heartstopper in the context of media representations of bisexuality. It delves into the intersections of media engagement, representation, and identity through a social constructionist lens. This thesis lends its voice to twelve individuals who experience attraction to multiple genders and identify as bisexual, pans

Noun incorporation refers to a linguistic process in which a noun forms a compound with a verb. Globally, the phenomenon is rare, but occurs frequently in several American, Paleo-Siberian and Australian languages. Specifically frequent in Australian languages is the incorporation of body part nouns, a process which has garnered a fair amount of published materials. In Australian languages, incorpo

During the 1960s, the United States of America experienced a surge of riots and inner turmoil, with the Detroit Riots of 1967 being one of the more violent instances. In a period of heavy turbulence, the need to maintain law and order whilst maintaining the various freedoms laid out by the Constitution became crossed. This essay thus explores the Detroit Riots of 1967 within a constitutional frame

Unlike in the past, the path to adulthood has become more complex and varied for young people today than ever before. Twenty-somethings must be ready to adapt to the challenges and difficulties of this period. Over the last decade, with the development of the digital age, smartphones have become an indispensable part of people's lives, especially for young people. In China, the use of smartpho

After the start of the Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine, content depicting the war atrocities committed by the Russian soldiers flooded social media. Facebook and Instagram kept removing the videos and photographs depicting violence and breaking their community guidelines. This study critically examines the effectiveness of the communication strategy of Ukrainian artists that emerged in resp

When Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the world of sports took the joint decision to exclude them both from hosting events and Russian athletes from competing under the Russian flag. Among the events that were cancelled was the Formula One Grand Prix in Sochi. A month later a missile strike hit an oil refinery 10 kilometres outside of the circuit in Jeddah that wo

In 2017, the #MeToo movement sparked a massive reckoning with a vast continuum of sexual abuse. From the moment the U.S. actress Alyssa Milano pressed the button ‘post’ on Twitter and unleashed a flurry of responses, the landscape of sexual misconduct allegations changed forever. Through social media platforms, #MeToo has provided a platform for marginalized voices to be heard, fostering a sense o

The main goal of this study is to provide insights and knowledge into the matters of queer representation in entertainment media, with a particular focus on the depiction of queerness in association with crime on-screen, from the perspective of the LGBTQIA+ community itself. More specifically, the investigation is grounded on four main theories relating to queer studies, intersectionality, social
