Machine calibration is important for optimal performance throughout the lifespan of industrial processes. A prime example is the pick-and-place process, where robots must manipulate objects accurately. Currently, this process is manually calibrated, which can be a complex practice. This thesis studies a software-based approach to error detection within the process, aiming to reduce the need for ma

På uppdrag från Miljöbron och Hyllstofta utreder denna rapport vilka elenergibesparande åtgärder som kan införas för Hyllstofta reningsverk. Fokus för arbetet ligger i att effektivisera applikationerna för reningsprocessen. Rapporten ger förslag på energieffektiviseringar tillsammans med beräkningsexempel på hur mycket energi som går att spara. Elförbrukningen kartlades under perioden 20190211–201On behalf of Miljöbron and Hyllstofta, this report studies which electricity-energy-saving measures can be carried out at Hyllstofta treatment plant. The focus of this study is to streamline the applications treatment process. The report provides suggestions for energy efficiency improvements together with calculation examples of how much energy can be saved. Electricity consumption was mapped dur

In 2014 during an organisational restructuring of Sony Electronics in Lund, an ongoing inhouse project to develop a resource management software was rushed to completion. The software had at the time been in active development by a team of software engineers for over a year but was quickly brought to completion to meet the new directives. Without clear product ownership and review, the softwa

This literature review presents a summary of recent research about PM-less machines for electrical vehicles. Recently, IPM machines has proven to be very popular among electrical vehicle manufacturers. However, the neodymium permanent magnets being used are expensive and have a risk of rocketing the production cost of a machine if the price increases more. With this in mind, five PM-less machine t

OBJECTIVES: Most patients with pancreatic cancer who have undergone surgical resection eventually develop disease recurrence. ‍This study aimed to investigate whether there is evidence to support routine surveillance after pancreatic cancer surgery, with a secondary aim of analyzing the implementation of surveillance strategies in the Nordic countries.MATERIALS AND METHODS: A scoping review was co

In this study, we investigate how eco-social attitudes are interlinked with various modes of political action aimed at preventing environmental change and promoting social welfare. Using multiple correspondence analysis and cluster analysis, we explore the links between attitudes and political action, and associated socio-political characteristics, in the case of Sweden. Our results show a three-nIn this study, we investigate how eco-social attitudes are interlinked with various modes of political action aimed at preventing environmental change and promoting social welfare.

Compulsory licensing is a statutorily created nonexclusive license by the competent authority granted to a third party to make, use, or sell an invention, where remuneration is paid to the right holder and the right holder maintains his legal intellectual property rights. Thus, the compulsory licensing differs from expropriation, where the property ownership is transferred and no remuneration is p

In Tanzania, there has been a notable increase in the importation and sale of secondhand clothing, popularly referred to as Mitumba, with a significant focus on low-income populations. This growth has been driven by the affordability and accessibility of these garments, which have become a staple in the wardrobes of many Tanzanians. However, with all of this growth, there are now urgent concerns a

Kraft black liquor (KBL) is a side-stream that is produced during the kraft pulping process, and mainly contains lignin, hemicelluloses, and cooking chemicals, namely sodium hydroxide and sodium sulphide. KBL is usually evaporated and burned in a recovery boiler in order to recover the cooking chemicals and generate energy. However, pulp mills are sometimes limited by the capacity of their recover

PURPOSE: Cisplatin-based combination chemotherapy (CHT) is standard of care in metastatic urothelial cancer (mUC); however, no predictive molecular biomarkers are available for clinical use. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of molecular subtypes in relation to treatment response and survival in patients with mUC treated with first-line CHT.PATIENTS AND METHODS: Molecular subtype

Uganda’s higher education system has come under pressure in the past few years. Liberalisation of the education sector attracted numerous private players into higher education provision, and making it commercialised. This has promoted that focus is shifted to the profit motive away from the primary purpose of students attaining gainful employment upon graduation. The research seeks to emphasise th

Understanding the sustainability concept: According to the UN World Commission on Environment,(Borowy, 2013) it is the balance between environment, economy, and equity. The development meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs (Rauschmayer et al., 2012). Sustainability is integration of the environmental health, social equity, and

Abstract in French:L’article interroge les configurations de pouvoir industrielles (factory regimes) à Kryvyi Rih, une ville minière et sidérurgique située à l’est de l’Ukraine. En s’appuyant sur un travail de terrain ethnographique, il retrace la reproduction de l’hégémonie industrielle au travers des transformations postsoviétiques (la privatisation et les mesures d’austérité). La comparaison deThis article investigates factory regimes in Kryvyi Rih, a mining and metalworking city in eastern Ukraine. Based on ethnographic fieldwork, it studies the reproduction of industrial hegemony in the context of major post-Soviet transformations (privatization and austerity measures). The comparison of three cases representing different hegemonic configurations (mines privatized by Ukrainian busines

HIP 41378 d is a long-period planet that has only been observed to transit twice, three years apart, with K2. According to stability considerations and a partial detection of the Rossiter- McLaughlin effect, Pd = 278.36 d has been determined to be the most likely orbital period. We targeted HIP 41378 d with CHEOPS at the predicted transit timing based on Pd = 278.36 d, but the observations show no

Context. The TOI-421 planetary system contains two sub-Neptune-type planets (Pb ~ 5.2 days, Teqb ~ 900 K, and Pc ~ 16.1 days, Teq,c ~ 650 K) and is a prime target to study the formation and evolution of planets and their atmospheres. The inner planet is especially interesting as the existence of a hydrogen-dominated atmosphere at its orbital separation cannot be explained by current formation mode
