Automatic Bleeding of a Hydraulically Actuated Torque Transfer System

This master’s thesis investigates the possibility of a new de-air concept for BorgWarners hydraulically actuated torque transfer couplings. De-airing of the hydraulic system is required to minimize the compressibility and ensure low response times. The current de-airing solution works well but limits the usable torque range of the couplings and produces a lot of noise. To meet increasingly demandi

En kvalitativ studie om socionomstudenternas upplevelser av sin verksamhetsförlagda utbildning. Upplevelser under VFU och påverkan på den professionella utvecklingen

The aim of this study is to understand social work students' experiences during their time at work-based learning and the impact it has on the students. The purpose is to research and acknowledge how theoretical knowledge and work-based learning impacts students' professional development. During a four-month period, social work students have a part of their education placed in a profession

Går det att mäta färgblind rasism? En kvantitativ undersökning för att utforska färgblind rasism i den svenska kontexten

Denna uppsats är en kvantitativ studie för att undersöka om det finns ett sätt att mäta färgblind rasism genom kvantitativ data. Studien bygger på teorin om färgblind rasism och teorin om rasifiering och mäter data från The European Social Survey för att se om det finns frågor i enkäterna som kan fungera som mått på färgblindhet. Genom mätningar kunde jag se att det fanns tendenser av färgblind ra

Is democracy without active social inlusion still democracy?

Guatemala is a democratic country in Central America characterized by many social inequalities which limits the quality of democracy in the country. This thesis is based on field research in Monterrico, on a local community in Guatemala, to investigate democratic participation on a local level, from an inclusivity perspective. This topic is investigated in relation to local development processes w

Aid Strategies of an Asian Democracy: The Formation of Japanese Governance and Democracy Promotion in the Field

This is a study of the promotion of democracy and governance as a part of Japan’s official development cooperation. Despite being one of few Asian democracies among aid donors, Japan’s work with democracy and governance has largely been overlooked in the discussion of its aid programme. This research seeks to expand on the current literature by examining what factors and driving forces interact to

The Effects of Event Boundaries on the Construction of Episodic Memory: a Virtual Reality Study

The construction of episodic memory is an automatic process. Event segmentation theory proposed that segmentation of the continuous perceptual stream into separate memory events occurs when changes in external boundaries lead to changes in internal perceptual and conceptual boundaries. The influence of perceptual and conceptual boundaries on episodic memory encoding has been the subject of intensi

”Maybe one day, the spark will ignite:” A Cultural Analysis of the Historical and Contemporary Living Conditions of Roma People in Sweden

For over five hundred years, the Roma people have been a part of Swedish society. During these five centuries their subsistence has been subjected to oppression, both institutional and civil. Despite the endeavours to improve the lives of the Roma, and governmental attempts to combat stereotypes, the discursive antiziganism is still prevailing in Sweden today. The guiding question throughout the

En hållbar framtid inom fast fashion? Klädföretag och leverantörers samarbete utifrån CSR

Fast fashion-branschen står inför utmaningar som kräver åtgärder för att bli en mer hållbar bransch. Produktionen av kläder och textilier är en stor källa till föroreningar och koldioxidutsläpp samtidigt som arbetarna inom produktionens arbetsförhållanden ofta är ohållbara. Det påpekas att för att branschen ska bli mer hållbar krävs det att hållbarhetsmetoder implementeras i hela försörjningskedja

Stolen moments: a mixed-method thesis on loneliness in tertiary education

This thesis employs a mixed-method sequential explanatory design to investigate perceived loneliness. In the first phase, using survey data from SOM-undersökningen (2023), the quantitative analysis uncovers an association between tertiary education and perceived loneliness in Sweden; diverging from established literature that links education to improved subjective health outcomes. In the second, q

Kompetensåterföring inom samverkansprojekt

Bakgrund: Samverkan: Samverkansprojekt blir allt mer och mer vanligt för större infrastrukturprojekt i Sverige. I ett samverkansprojekt samarbetar de olika aktörerna för att tillsammans arbeta fram till ett gemensamt mål och dessa projekt har flera fördelar, bland annat ökad transparens och ofta högre kvalitet. Ett sådant projekt är en tillfällig organisation som måste vara flexibel och anpassnin

Bestämning av utvecklad tryckhållfasthet för platta betongkonstruktioner i ett tidigt skede

De standardiserade mätmetoder som används för att bestämma betongs tryckhållfasthet är anpassade för mätning efter relativt lång tid, men ifall det är av intresse att bestämma betongens hållfasthet kort tid efter gjutning är dessa metoder inte helt rättvisande. Cementbaserad betong är ett av världens vanligaste byggmaterial. Den har en god förmåga att motstå tryckspänningar och är inte speciellt Concrete is a building material that is normally cast according recipes, where a larger proportion of cement in the mixture results in a faster strength development and increased ultimate strength. The compressive strength, which can be considered as the most important property of concrete, is usually measured by a standardized procedure, where a test specimen is subjected to a progressively incre

Simulation and Testing of a MU-MIMO Beamforming System

Multi-User Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MU-MIMO) technology has become increasingly important in the field of wireless communication due to its ability to highly increase the capacity and efficiency of wireless networks [1]. Beamforming, as a technique used in MU-MIMO systems, improves network performance by improving signal quality and reducing interference. With the emergence of 5G and beyond

Different regulatory regimes and banking crises - The role of moral hazard

Since 1988 there have been international attempts to regulate banks with the Basel Rules; despite these international efforts to regulate banks within the Basel Rules, the rules have been insufficient. The financial crisis of 2008 highlighted the importance of regulatory oversight in the banking sector. The crisis resulted in strengthened regulatory approaches worldwide, within the USA and Europe,

"The Open Veins Remain Open": GM Soy Cultivation, Socio-Environmental Struggle and the Political Economy of Contemporary Peronist Development in Argentina

Argentina is a pioneer in practicing export-oriented extractivism as a model of socio-economic development. A prevalent extractive project is genetically modified (GM) soy, which was adopted under neoliberal governance in the 1990s and has had a variety of socio-environmental consequences in the country. During the progressive, Peronist, ‘post-neoliberal’ Kirchner administrations (2003-2015), gove

Brödkorgen och pennfäktarna : politiska anspråk på 1771–1772 års hungersnöd i samtida, svenskt offentligt tryck

This master’s thesis concerns itself with the subject of political usage of a societal crisis, namely the contemporary utilization of narrative renderings of the Swedish famine of 1771-1772. During the last years of the Age of Liberty in Sweden (1719-1772) political and social tension were on its peak. The two rivaling political parties, the “hats” and the “caps” fought ferociously in the Diet, wh

Memory and Inferences of Cheating Behavior: Age and Interindividual Differences in Trust Impact Decision Bias

The social contract theory hypothesis of a memory enhancement for cheaters remains a continued debate, but few studies have addressed the potential inferential role of such an enhancement. Moreover, little research has been conducted on interindividual characteristics and how these may impact cheating sensitivity. This study conducted a preference-by-association experiment which creates associativ
