The use of an object-oriented approach in software engineering has proven to be successful for many years, but in the fields of mechanics and automation it has been ignored for long. The Tetra Pak Carton Bottle automation team believes that a switch from a function-oriented architecture to an object-oriented one would be of benefit not only to them but also any department which is involved with de
We’re living in a time where more and more evidence of our impact on the environment appears every day. A lot of resource and time have been spent in order to identify and inform about the ecological footprint us humans enlarge day by day. The realization of human impact on the environment introduced large scale research and UN reports on the subject and a definition and goal to strive after was e
Globally, around a third of all food produced is lost or wasted. This means a decrease in food available to meet global food demands, but also a loss in resources used for production, transportation and processing. With agricultural production currently facing new challenges including population growth and, increasingly, climate change, ensuring productivity and sustainability in agricultural prac

The possibility to print out metallic components with complex 3D-structures is could revolutionize the industry. In this master’s thesis the cause of process parameters have been investigated for three alloys; stainless steel, 316L, two nickel-based alloys, a derivative of Alloy 738 and 939. Microstructure, porosity, tensile testing, impact toughness, hardness and surface roughness was investigate
SYFTE: Vårt övergripande syfte med uppsatsen är att undersöka varför kvinnor är underrepresenterade på partnernivån i revisionsbyråer samt om kön är en begränsningsfaktor. Vi utforskar delägar-, socialiserings- och utvärderingsprocessen och huruvida de bidrar till underrepresentationen. Dessa processer har inte studerats i samma utsträckning som andra personcentrerade variabler, så som kvinnors ba

This report evaluates the ways that the rescue service uses their water and how the get continuously water to the fire site. Other extinguishing metho
Thanks to amendments of the regulations governing safety of ships on international voyages, ship-builders are given the possibility to design large merchant ships in novel light-weight materials such as Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composite. As a part of a collaborative risk assessment, this report investigates the implications of using this new material for the personal risks of firefighting c
The following report contains a study over what happens with the proposals for action that is presented in fire investigations. Literature, 105 fire investigations and interviews were used to gather information.

A safety feature for the evacuation of a rail tunnel is the construction of walkways running parallel to the tracks, constructed at the level of the train’s exits. There is currently a lack of research-based information pertaining to how the width of the walkway may affect evacuation. In September 2012 an evacuation experiment was performed, the aim of which was to explore how the width of the wal
Increasing awareness and change in attitudes towards environment has given rise to the sustainable development and this development has stimulated environmental innovations globally in the last years. The recent studies show that in near future there will be more packaging solutions from renewable resources. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate how a brand owner using renewable packaging m

The construction industry has been criticized several times for failing to achieve the same productivity as other industries. BIM (Building Information Model/Modeling) is a revolutionary technology, and with a modern work method BIM has the ability to change the construction industry. The traditional paper-based information is changing into a virtual environment. A BIM- model does not automaticall
Tidigare forskning om så kallad dumpster diving, även kallat dumpstring eller sopdykning, har fokuserat på fenomenet som en del av en frigansk livsstil och på hur människor som dumpstrar skapar en identitet av antikonsumtion med hjälp av dumpster diving. Syftet med denna uppsats är att utforska hur dumpstrare upplever och förhåller sig till osäkerheten kring huruvida dumpster diving är olagligt el
