The Master thesis «Shine» is consisting out of two parallel connected projects, based on a personal extensive interest for glittering, shimmering, shiny and dazzling effects. The first project is an exploration of a personal theme about the effect, in the theses referred to as «Shine». The second project is a concept of a tent, inspired from the first project.

Inlimmade skruvar är en relativt ny förbandstyp som kan användas för att skapa anslutningar som förblir dolda för det blotta ögat. Dessa dolda anslutningar är mer estetiskt tilltalande i kontrast till ”vanliga” förband med spikplåt, skruvar och bultar. Förbindarna får även ett naturligt skydd av träet vilket minskar arbetet med att brandskydda spikplåtar, skruvar och bultar. Syftet med examensarbeGlued-in Rods (GiR) is a relative new connection type that could be used for creating hidden joints in timber structures. These hidden joints are more esthetic appealing in contrast to ordinary joints with toothed plates, nails and bolts. With the use of GiR the connectors gets an automatic protection in case of fire while unprotected steel loses all of its strength in case of fire. In this report

In many developing countries, migration and remittances have become an important option for households facing poverty, unemployment and lack of opportunities. This raises the question of how effective this strategy is in improving welfare in countries sending migrants abroad and receiving remittances back. Of particular interest is the case of countries that have become highly dependent on the rem

In my bachelor project I have worked with some-thing I call “Clothes in the middle phase”. I focused on how people treat their clothes that are not newly washed, but still not ready for the washing machine. I have selected to work with people who tend to pile up their clothes on the floor, bed or another temporary place that can easily create a messy atmosphere in the room. A common behaviour is

Syftet med denna uppsats har varit att beskriva och analysera hemtjänstens ekonomistyrning i Malmö stad. Uppsatsen utgörs av ett uppdrag till Malmö stad och därför har ett viktigt syfte varit att också föreslå hur ekonomistyrningen kan förbättras. Uppsatsens resultat utmynnar i ett styrpaket som beskriver hemtjänstens nuvarande ekonomistyrning. Styrpaketet visar sig innehålla flera av de styrform

This project has focused on improving the psychosocial working environment for hospital staff that uses electronic patient records in Region Skåne. Through making qualitative interviews with nurses, doctors and medical secretaries that use patient records on a daily basis I’ve gotten a view of some of the issues with the current system. The problems today seem to be that the documentation system

Author: Bodil Wandt Title: A collective where the individual is in the centre, the Network of Feminist self-defence in Sweden. [Translated title] Supervisor: Carina Tigervall Assessor: The purpose of the study was to find out how the Network of Feminist self-defence in Sweden can be seen as a social movement. The study included mainly three women who all have been active for many years wit

ESS (European Spallation Source) kommer att vara ett viktigt verktyg för den vetenskapliga utvecklingen i Lund, anläggningen kommer att vara världens mest kraftfulla neutronkälla avsedd för neutronspridningsexperiment. Neutroner frigörs via bombardemanget av tunga atomkärnor medelst högenergetiska protoner. Man kan göra en jämförelse med en kanonkula som slår in i en trävägg och slår loss träflisoThis thesis investigates the use of two automated weight window methods for variance reduction of flux in particle transport simulations. The methods are implemented in the Geant4 simulation software. Both methods are based on pre-simulations, using flux or relative error information as input. The methods are intended for use in shielding and instrumental background applications and are tested on

Syftet med uppsatsen var att genom en psykologisk kvantitativ studie undersöka om hundar kan påverka stressnivån hos anställda på företaget som tillåter hund. Har de anställda på företaget som tillåter hund på arbetsplatsen lägre upplevd stressnivå än de anställda företag som inte tillåter hund? Studien genomfördes på två välkända svenska företag, ett finansbolag och en riksorganisation, som båda

In this master thesis we have studied the possibilities of implementing and controlling the speed of a brushless DC motor in an hydraulic application developed by BorgWarner TorqTransfer Systems AB. The hydraulic application is a coupling that give vehicles intelligent all-wheel drive. Today, the hydraulic application uses hydraulic pressure controlled by an ordinary DC motor to produce the all-w

One of the leading challenges presented in 21st century for packaging industry is to address the growing environmental problems related to non-renewable flexible packaging. This leads to new growing interest in bio-based materials, among them cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), which have already shown good performance in improving anti-fog and oxygen & water vapor barrier properties when applied t

My paper focuses on the experiences of China’s female sex workers. In particular, this paper focuses on the workers’ lives before joining the sex industry. The research question that is posed asks: “What makes Chinese women become sex workers (i.e., prostitutes)?” Online interviews as well as online personal statements, along with previous research from articles and books are used to study prostit

Islamic finance has been growing tremendously for the past years. On the other hand, the understanding of it, is still limited compared to the conventional finance. Claims that Islamic finance is more resistant to crisis compared to the conventional finance is analysed in this thesis through the comparison between Sukuk and bond financing. There are two aims of this thesis. The first aim is to stu

Det har blivit allt vanligare med användandet av både tidsbegränsade anställningar och inhyrning av personal från bemanningsföretag på svensk arbetsmarknad (LO 2014:2-3). Med anledning av det vill jag ta reda på hur arbetsgivarna ser på detta. Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka hur arbetsgivarna resonerar kring frågor som rör tim- och visstidsanställningar, bemanningsföretag samt lagen om anstä

The load transfer and redistribution phenomenon that occurs through the mobilization of shear stresses in response to relative displacements in granular materials, such as soils, is attributed to the arching effect. The arching effect has a great influence on the behaviour of soils and plays an important role in predicting earth pressure in granular backfills of limited extent, confined by unyield

Med elasticitetsteori kan man inte beskriva hur en statiskt obestämd konstruktion där materialet kan plasticeras går till brott. Enligt elasticitetsteori och ett antagande om ett sprött brott vid en viss spänning går en konstruktion till brott så fort denna spänning uppnås i det högst belastade snittet. Det som egentligen sker är att materialet plasticeras vilket leder till en momentomlagring. KonUsing theory of elasticity it is not possible to describe exactly how a statically indeterminate structure collapses. Theory of elasticity is often combined with an assumption of breakage at a certain level of stress, this meaning that a structure will break as soon as this level of stress is reached in the most heavily loaded section. A plastic hinge will occur followed by a changed distribution

Induced subgraph detection is a widely studied set of problems in theoretical computer science, with applications in e.g. social networks, molecular biology and other domains that use graph representations. Our focus lies on practical comparison of some well-known deterministic algorithms to recent Monte Carlo algorithms for detecting subgraphs on three and four vertices. For algorithms that invol
