Energy Efficient Door Control

A broad study of ways to increase energy efficiency in an automatic sliding door. The study was made up of several distinct phases. A research phase where traffic data was gathered, a modelling phase where the gathered data was used to create a traffic model, a test phase where a physical test door was set up and programmed according to the model, and finally an analysis phase where the gathered t

Konflikter från ett chefsperspektiv

Konflikter är frekvent förekommande i organisationer, de kan ha positiva eller negativa konsekvenser beroende på hur konflikten upplevs och hanteras.

En studie om svarstider i projekteringsprocessen

Projekteringsprocessen i byggbranschen är i ständig förändring. Större och mer komplicerade byggnadsprojekt med högre krav på sig blir allt vanligare. En lyckad projektering är en lyckad produktion. Detta ligger som grund till att projekteringsprocessen måste fungera på ett effektivt sätt. Enligt Nasa och Stanford university är nyckeln till en lyckad projektering att korta ned tiden mellan fråga o

Questioning the tunnel vision : Assessing the frames and governance of California’s WaterFix megaproject

Over the last century, large-scale water megaprojects have become a globally widespread method of addressing water scarcity by moving water from areas of water surplus to deficit. The U.S. state of California is a megaproject pioneer, having constructed two infrastructural systems in the mid-1900s that transfer water as far as 640 kilometers to satisfy agricultural and urban growth. While these pr

De bortglömda barnen - en kvalitativ undersökning av attityder till intersex hos personer som arbetar med barn och ungdomar inom samhällsinstitutioner i Malmö

Genom att anlägga ett teoretiskt perspektiv av Judith Butler där kategorier som ”kön” och ”genus” betraktas som oseparerbara, och där en heterosexuell matris dikterar de villkor inom vilka kön, kroppar och begär (sexuella) befästs och uppfattas som naturliga och fixerade, har jag undersökt attityder till intersex hos personer som arbetar med barn och ungdomar inom samhällsinstitutioner i Malmö, SvThis study explores attitudes toward intersex amongst people working with children and youth within community institutions in Malmö, Sweden. This has been done by applying a theoretical perspective by Judith Butler where categories such as ”sex” and ”gender” are seen as inseparable and a heterosexual matrix dictates the conditions under which sex, bodies and desires (sexual) are naturalised and vi

Impact of Parameters on Fuel Level Indication

Parameterstudie på bränslenivåvisning Alla är bekanta med bränslenivåvisaren i bilar och litar på att den alltid ska fungera. Det finns några möjliga problem associerade med bränslenivåvisning som är viktiga att kartlägga för att försäkra att bränslenivåvisaren ger korrekt information i samtliga lägen. Bränslenivåvisning består av tre olika delar, mätning av nivån i tanken, filtrering av rådata saFuel level indication is an essential function in a car with the purpose of providing information about the fuel level to the driver at all times. In this thesis, different parameters are tested and evaluated to find the factors that can have an effect on fuel level indication. Tank volume, driving behaviour and fuel sloshing are evaluated as possible parameters. The results presented herein sugge

The Potential of Intellectual Property Rights for Economic Development: A Case Study on India

Intellectual Property Rights’ systems have not yet been admitted as policy instruments favouring economic performance of developing countries, and Intellectual Property itself has not been recognised as an economic asset as yet.

Ny svensk modell för nyanlända svenskar?

The Swedish Model is a somewhat vague concept that can mean many things, depending on who you ask. But usually it is characterized by the great deal of autonomy the labour market organizations enjoy. Traditionally, the unions and the employer associations in question are responsible for the functioning of the labour market (e.g. the wage formation), with none or very little involvement from the st

Daddies pushing strollers: How family policies can affect gender equality: A case study of parental leave reforms in France

Because gender inequalities in the private sphere have for consequences the development of a second-class citizenship for women, aiming for gender equality in the private sphere is fundamental in order to tend towards equality in the society as a whole. Yet, it is a complex goal to reach. Indeed, family policies are only a small part of a system where social, economic and cultural factors are inte

Chemical Hazard Assessment under Uncertainty Evaluated by Robust Bayesian Evidence Synthesis

Chemical hazard assessment is a procedure in chemical regulation to set which concentrations of chemical substances that are safe to an ecological system, i.e. where a majority of the species in the systems is not negatively affected by the substance. The Species Sensitivity Distribution (SSD) is an assessment model to estimate hazardous concentration based on toxicity data from representative spe

Combination of nanoparticles from polystyrene and the hormone 17alpha-ethinylestradiol (EE2) in water.

Interagerar plast och hormon med varandra i vatten? Utsläpp av läkemedel bidrar till att ett av de vanligaste syntetiska hormonen Ethinylestradiol (EE2) hamnar i akvatiska miljöer. Årligen bildas enorma mängder plast, när plasten hamnar ute i miljön bryts ned den till små nanopartiklar med speciella egenskaper. Denna studie undersöker hur EE2 och nanopartiklar binder till varandra i vatten. Av allPlastic materials and synthetic hormones are found in aquatic environments globally. Plastic in water can degrade to nanoparticles (NP) with special characteristics, in the environment nanoparticles and hormones have a proven effect on wildlife. Synthetic hormones are widely used in contraceptives and medications and one of the most common synthetic hormones used is 17-alpha-ethinylestradiol (EE2)

kontroll. mitt vårt allas - en territoriell undersökning i Almhög, Malmö

Stora delar av bostadsbeståndet i Sverige är uppfört efter modernistiska planeringsideal med uppluckrade gränser mellan det privata och publika. I dessa miljöer är alla ytor inte direkt avläsbara ifråga om ägarförhållanden och användning.
