The level of consumption has increased rapidly during the last century and the current consumption patterns are unsustainable and have enormous negative impact on the people and environment of our planet. Although we in the rich countries have a very high material standard and can buy everything we need or wish research has shown that we feel less happy and have an increasing level of mental ill-h
Undersökningens syfte är att testa och analysera två tekniska indikatorer, RSI och glidande medelvärde, inom teknisk analys enligt en kortsiktig strategi. Avsikten är att avgöra om de tekniska indikatorerna generar positiv avkastning för en daytrader, samt om korrelation mellan index kan vara en indikator till hjälp för att förbättra avkastningen.
Material contributes to a large share of construction costs and as prices are increasing companies must seek creative solutions and find new approaches in order to find ways of saving money. As a part of a strategic development Peab, one of Sweden’s leading construction- and contractor companies, is making an effort to streamline their purchasing system using the purchasing tool PIA, which digital
This examination work presents a proposition of a conceptual design of a demographic database for CIDS in Nicaragua. Furthermore, an implementation of this database is described. Finally a description of a method to transfer data from the current database to the new is given, together with a smaller implementation. CIDS – Center of Investigation of Demography and Health is located in Nicaragua, Le
Wet room - demands and rules This paper explains how the legislative system is built concerning wet rooms within the construction industry. Legislation is developed by all involved authorities. The state has created laws and regulations through parliament and government. These laws are used as a foundation for Boverket, who has produced BBR, which specifies the minimum requirements for the propert
Parkeringsfrågan som under lång tid har varit en viktig del av stads- och trafikplanering i många stora städer både i Europa (London, Manchester etc.) och i USA har visat sig spela en stor roll inom områden med trafiksystem. Parkeringsfrågor har under åren fått en allt större betydelse för miljön och trafiken i tätbefolkade orter. Affärsverksamheter och butiker i städer konkurrerar med butiker uta
The interest in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has grown tremendously within the last decades. Due to the pressure from different stakeholders, this concept was introduced by multinational corporations (MNC) in China. Since the strong focus on economic growth has been determining the way of doing business, environmental and social concerns were not taken into account appropriately. Since MN

The master thesis was carried out on SSAB in Oxelösund where the international steel company has its main office for cooled steels. SSAB has a world-leading position within steel where abrasion resistance and wearability is crucial. SSAB has earlier developed a computer-based model that is calibrated after real results and can simulate how strains and stresses deploy in the plates when they are ex
Parallel kinematik machines are nowadays an important branch of investigation in the robotics field. Its design allows for high speeds, accelerations and tool forces as well as makes them ideals for faster cycle times and high repeatability works. TAU is a parallel kinematic machine from ABB Company with three degrees of freedom. Therefore, it can be positioned anywhere of the workspace but not or
The goal of this thesis was to design a Multiple Hull Valve (MHV) with the purpose to increase the safety and decrease the amount of hull penetrations in a submarine. The safety is improved by a double shut of function where the outer plate valve is closed by the pressure difference in case of failure. A great advantage with the MHV is that the systems in an early stage are protected from both mar
This report is a result of a Master Thesis made at Volvo 3P and the Department of Advance Engineering and Concepts. The thesis is a part of the education in Mechanical Engineering at the Department Design Sciences, for the Division of Machine Design at Lund University. Volvo 3P is involved in a project regarding a new patented manufacturing method that is under development. The manufacturing metho
The goal of this project was to create a banknote deposit machine or Cash Deposit Machine (CDM) for Retail Cash Systems (RCS) at SCAN COIN AB in Malmö. The CDS was to be based on the currency counter SC1510 Euro Value. The idea was, since the technology was already there, in the SC1510 E V, to put it in a box and, with all transport and storage inside solved, a CDS would have seen the light. I wan
This Master Thesis has been performed as a development project for Asko Cylinda AB in Vara, Sweden. The company develops, manufactures and markets conventional tumble dryers among many other products. An important part of a tumble dryer is the filter holder with belonging fuzz filters mounted on the door of tumble dryer’s. The fuzz filter’s objective is to filtrate the hot drying air that pass thr
This project was done for the company Beijer Electronics Products AB and the task was given by the hardware development department of the company. The project was about developing a concept proposal for a new generation operator panels. This was done to inspire the product developers at Beijer Electronics with innovative ideas before the actual operator panel development. More in detail the object
The aim of the thesis was to help Tetra Pak with problems that have occurred with the creasing-unit. This unit is one of great importance in the production line for a final package with good quality. The unit is built up in modules, where each module performs the wanted operation. The motion between and in the modules is transferred by a gear transmission. The quality of the packages is decided by
This Master Thesis, performed at the Division of Machine Design at the Faculty of Engineering , Lund University, and at Zenit Design Group AB in Malmö. Zenit Design is one of Sweden’s leading design studios. Zenit Design has received the assignment from Blueshift Solution. The Master Thesis was going to result in a first stage prototype of a handheld game console and a 3-d model made in CAD. Also

The focus of company’s aftermarket is no longer only the “machine shop” where aftermarket finds solutions to offer spare parts to the customers. Instead aftermarket is focused on technological improvements that continue to change and improve on the way aftermarket operates. The way aftermarket operates has shifted from reading documents to be more integrated with computers and the next step is, fo
This paper examines the effect of various factors on the commuting behaviour of one- and two- worker households. The households' choices in the land- and labour markets are modeled in the context of Becker's common-preference framework. The empirical investigation using data from the 2007 American Community Survey also tests the Household Responsibility Hypothesis. I find that women have s
