I started with the intentions to design a toy. Many of the values I wanted to emphasize are part of or could be applied to the soap-box cart. A traditional soap-box cart is built by hand from bought or collected (left-over) parts and materials. The creation plays a major part in the soapbox concept and I wanted to preserve this. My challenge was to revive the old soap-box cart and adapt it to the
Både globalt sett och ur ett individmässigt perspektiv är vatten den mest betydelsefulla resursen vi har på jorden. Kunskap om grundvatten och grundvattenbildning är viktigt ur många perspektiv, som exempelvis miljömässigt, samhällsekonomiskt och byggnadstekniskt. Denna uppsats är skriven vid Lunds Universitet inom Miljövetenskap och syftar till att belysa grundvattenbildning till kristallin berggBoth globally and from an individual perspective, water is the most important resource we have on earth. Knowledge of groundwater and groundwater recharge is important from many perspectives, such as environmental, socio-economic and structural engineering. The thesis is written at Lund University in Environmental sciences and aims to highlight groundwater recharge to the crystalline bedrock and g
Does my belief actually matter in the dialogue with a person of another religion or denomination? Two often occurring themes within Gavin D'Costa's and Paul Knitter's explorations within the realm of theology of religions are dialogue and the possibility to learn from someone with whom I do not share beliefs. The essay at hand studies how D'Costa and Knitter relate to different, Ch
The aim of this report is to increase the knowledge about the use of infrared cameras within fire services. A construction made up of several different types of walls and ceilings was built and used in a large scale fire test. The actual temperature was measured with thermocouples and compared to the temperature given by infrared cameras. The heat wave and the infrared images themselves were also
The accurate and reliable detection of opening of doors and windows is vital for home security applications. This master thesis aims to present a way to achieve this using a low-cost and low-power ecompass, containing a MEMS accelerometer and a magnetometer. This has been achieved by attaching such a device to a door and collecting sensor data when opening and closing the door. Said data were then
Arbetsgivare använder sig allt mer av olika övervakningssystem av diverse anledningar. Även då det är en vanlig metod är övervakning ett negativt laddat ord och många är osäkra om den personliga integriteten bevaras. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka vilka effekter övervakningssystem har. Jag försöker lyfta fram fördelar och eventuellt reducera en del av den negativitet ordet medför. Den em
This study aims to examine the topic of innovation in China. The need for innovative development is of importance for the nation to keep the rapid development. A few evaluations of both Chinas indigenous innovation policy and the opportunities for the citizens to develop innovation has criticized the lack of creativity in human resources and the examination based education system to be harmful for
In this thesis a system is developed for robust time difference estimation for multiple microphones in reverberant environments, without any knowledge of the 3D positions of the microphones or the room. RANSAC is used to find line segments in sets of frames containing a number of the largest GCC-PHAT peaks. Focus is on real experiments with one moving sound source continuously playing music. The e
Klimatförändringar har skett i alla tider har haft förödande effekter för livet på jorden. Nu för tiden har man hittat kopplingar mellan miljöproblemen och människans aktiviteter (IPCC 2013, 7). All utveckling påverkar naturen på ett eller annat sätt, det gäller också turismutveckling som till exempel bidrar med mer transporter till en plats. Då kan ett hållbart tillvägagångssätt vara en lösning fA sustainable approach could be a solution for the tourism industry to reduce its climate impact. The aim of this thesis was to develop a sustainable tourism strategy, in collaboration with Swedish region Halland. The sustainability concept was set against the developed tourism strategy, both on a theoretical and practical level. The strategy was compared to other sustainable tourism strategies a
In this work graphene has been functionalized with antibodies. Different functionalization methods of graphene already found in literature have been evaluated. An electrochemical functionalization process with subsequent immobilization of antibodies have been chosen for this thesis. The purpose of the thesis has been formulated in collaboration with Graphensic AB. From them a wish to implement an
Studien undersöker empiriskt sambandet mellan korruption och ekonomisk tillväxt i utvecklingsländer. Utöver det direkta sambandet mellan korruption och BNP-tillväxt, studeras även indirekta samband genom estimeringar av korruptionens påverkan på etablerade kontrollvariabler för tillväxt. Kontrollvariablerna, vilka även utgör potentiella överföringskanaler för korruption, utgörs av: investeringar,
Den här uppsatsen utreder möjligheten att använda en modell som skattats med tidsserieanalys i Konjunkturinstitutets (KI) prognoser på offentlig konsumtion. Autoregressiva modeller skattas på realtidsdata från 1994. Modellerna skattas och utvärderas med out-of-sample prognoser. Modellernas prognosförmåga utvärderas mot första publiceringen av statistik för offentlig konsumtion för perioden 2004–20
In today’s competitive vehicle industry, fuel efficiency and weight plays a crucial role in performance and to maintain an attractive market position. The increasing technological development is opening new possibilities to design components with lighter materials. All components on Scania buses are favorably designed with as low weight as possible since the measured load on the back axis determin
The aim of this paper is to present the kinds of error that implicit bias can cause when we are to judge and rank which available candidate is the most suited for e. g. a job vacancy, and to investigate whether we can de-bias ranking lists in recruiting processes given that we suspect that implicit bias has influenced the ranking. I will argue that the available methods for this (positive discrimi
The North Sea stands out as one of the most rapidly warming regions of the globe and various types of geographic distribution responses have already been reported, from latitudinal changes to vertical changes. Using catch data from an international bottom trawling monitoring survey, this study investigated how the range size of the North Sea fish assemblage has changed during the last three decade
As the development of human civilizations, the classic definition of crowdedness index or population density is not able to describe population dynamic conciliations properly. Furthermore, the detailed population information is normally only stay on urban or country levels. Methods to compute crowdedness index of a small scale-area are lacked. Demographers need some new methods to compute human cr
Kullabergs tumlare styrs av dygns- och månfas I havet runt Kullaberg i Skåne lever Sveriges enda val – tumlaren (Phocoena phocoena). Tumlaren är en liten tandval som mestadels lever ensam och som använder ett slags inbyggt ekolod, kallad biosonar, för att navigera, kommunicera och hitta fisk att äta. Utanför Kullaberg utgör tumlare en vanlig syn, men generellt hotas arten av mänsklig påverkan ochThe harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena) is the only cetacean regularly found in Swedish waters. Little is known about its movements and behaviour. Around the peninsula of Kullaberg, harbour porpoises are regularly found in relatively large numbers and they are considered to use the area for both feeding and reproduction. Along the northern coast of Kullaberg six passive acoustic data loggers; Cet
