How a ship´s bridge knows its position - ECDIS assisted accidents from a contemporary human factors perspective

The technological artifacts used in ship navigation have undergone substantial changes during the last decades, and real-time digital navigation is a reality with the introduction of the ECDIS. Despite the obvious merits of this new navigation mode, and the imagined improvement in safety that it theoretically should bring, ECDIS has in recent years been associated with several accidents. The term

”Men bruset ökar tills du inte längre känner igen ditt jag” – megarunda gestalter, narrativ identitet och omänsklig odödlighet i Lars Jakobsons De odödliga (2015)

Uppsatsen syftar till att studera konstruktionen av odödlighet i De odödliga genom att undersöka skillnaden mellan hur odödliga gestalter med ett evigt livsspann och hur dödliga gestalter med ett begränsat livsspann framställs. Undersökningen genomförs med hjälp av det grundläggande narratologiska begreppsparet platta och runda gestalter, och utökas därefter med Paul Ricoeurs modell om narrativ idThis thesis aims to study the construction of immortality in Lars Jakobson’s novel The Immortals (De odödliga, 2015) by examining the difference between how immortal and mortal characters are portrayed. Initially the characters of the novel are classified according to E. M. Forster’s narratological division between flat and round characters. It soon becomes evident that the immortal character, wit

Naming A World of Things – An investigation of the development of noun phrases in written expository discourse, from adolescents to expert writers

One component in writing development is a more efficient use of syntactic tools. Later syntactic development, specifically that of the noun phrase, is an understudied area, notably so for Swedish. The demand for specified and concise information in an expository text, and the availability of more planning time in the written modality, are important factors contributing to more complex noun phrases

Utvärdering av odränerad skjuvhållfasthet på för lermorän ur hejarsondering

The aim of the study is to find a relation between the tip pressure produced by ram sounding and CPT in order to improve the possibilities of determining the shear strength of clay till. CPT is a pressure probe and mainly used to get a good picture of the statigraphy and the soil condition. CPT has shown to be useful regarding the evaluation of key parameters such as shear strengh and angle of fri

Windy Times in Emerging Economies: De-Risking Renewable Energy Investments: Case Study Vietnam

In emerging economies, high investment costs hinder fast renewable energy (RE) deployment. Compared to industrial states, higher financial costs originate mainly from investment barriers and consequently risks. Using Vietnam as a case study for emerging economies, the objective of this thesis is to identify barriers and ways to remove risks by developing a de-risking policy mix that consequently h

Mechanical properties of chemical modified wood of load-bearing constructions

Det går inte att bortse från den stora efterfråga som idag råder gällande ny utveckling av metoder för att ersätta icke förnybara material (så som stål och betong exempelvis) med förnybara material (såsom trä) i lastbärande konstruktioner. Trä som material har en del nackdelar och det är just dessa man skulle vilja eliminera eller begränsa för att nå fram till ett material med minimal påverkan för

Lifetime prediction of sealing component using machine learning algorithms

Tetra Pak is a world leader in the food packaging industry and has been so for a very long time. In recent years however, they are experiencing increased competition from low-cost suppliers selling their previously patented paper as a commodity. This has forced Tetra Pak to focus more on selling complete systems and services. One such potential service is condition monitoring coupled with predicti

Systemutveckling med modulmässig designapproach

The aim of the thesis project was partially to map the process of procurement (and associated processes) within the Scalae department of Altran. Scalae works with ”Innovative (or New) Product Development” (IPD/NPD) in outsourced projects which are completely driven by the department following an agreed-upon framework. Purchases made in a project are made by Scalae and eventually forwarded to the c

Tystnadens lovsång: Om sången som uttryck och medel i Flodbergskretsens kenotiska spiritualitet.

Music has several functions in the Christian community and worship – it unites people by harmonizing many voices into one, it creates community and shapes identity through its message, and by its piercing beauty it is a sign that indicates and marks out eternity. This essay asks the questions why the small circle of friends with a shared interest in mysticism, Flodbergskretsen, elaborated their ow

Characterization of the ocelli of the migratory Bogong moth (Agrotis infusa) in comparison to the non-migratory Turnip moth (Agrotis segetum)

The Bogong and Turnip moths are two species of the genus Agrotis, similar in size, but different in life style. The Bogong moth is a long distance migratory species endemic to Australia, whereas the Turnip moth has a wide spread in Africa, Europe and Asia where it is considered a pest. The ocelli are single-lens eyes of the camera type, whose role is still unknown in many insects, including the st

Design and evaluation of an interactive balance board for stroke survivors

Rehabilitering efter en stroke är viktig för att den drabbade individen ska återfå så stor del av de påverkade kroppsfunktionerna som möjligt. Balansen blir ofta försämrad hos individer som överlevt stroke och behöver stärkas för att inte hindra individen i dennes vardagliga liv. Rehabiliteringsträningen av balansen bör innehålla motivationsfaktorer för att träningen ska ske i tillräckligt stor omThe rehabilitation after a stroke is important for the individual so that the affected body functions recover as much as possible. The balance is often impaired after a stroke and need to be strengthend to not impede the stroke-survivor in the daily life. The rehabilitation training of the balance should include motivation factors for the training to take place in sufficiently large scale. The aim

Asset management : integrating GIS as a decision support tool in meter management in national water and sewerage corporation

Water meters provide the basis for generation of monthly water consumption invoices by the utility for all its customers. This makes the water meters an integral part of the utility’s asset base. However, like any asset, these meters sometimes fail to function as expected and may under register or not register any water consumption by the customers. When this happens, the revenues of the utility a

Dynamic Soil-structure Interaction of Portal Frame Bridge Walls for High-speed Railways

I Sverige är höghastighetsjärnvägar ett debatterat ämne. Undersökningsarbeten har startat för det första steget i ett höghastighetsnät – Ostlänken mellan Järna och Linköping – som planeras vara trafikerad år 2028. Höghastighetsjärnvägen är avsedd att tillåta hastigheter på 320 km/h. Vid så höga hastigheter blir dimensioneringskraven för brobanans vibrationer strängare. Tidigare studier har visat aIn Sweden, high-speed railways is a subject for public debate. The first stage of a high-speed train network, Ostlänken between Stockholm and Linköping, is under investigation, and is planned to be trafficked in 2028. The high-speed railway is intended to hold traffic with speeds up to 320 km/h. At such speeds, the design requirements of the accelerations of the bridge superstructure become more s
