The aim of this thesis is to investigate and evaluate the use of escape filters during the construction phase of tunnels and mines. To achieve this aim three main research methods were used. Firstly, a literature review was produced to evaluate the current research about escape filters and fire safety during the construction phase of tunnels and mines. Secondly, interviews were conducted to find r
Recurrent neural networks (RNNs) have become a dominating player for processing of sequential data such as speech and audio. The reason for this, is the high accuracy that can be achieved with the more complex variants, such as the gated recurrent unit (GRU). This makes them very attractive in speech recognition systems for digital assistance and voice control applications. However, a high power c
Cancerrehabilitering har under de senaste åren experimenterat med virtuella upplevelser. Hur mottas dessa och hur ska en utvecklare gå tillväga för att arbeta i en sådan här kontextModern cancer healthcare prevents deaths but living with the disease creates a need for mental healthcare. Virtual reality (VR) and its abilities to create and maintain convincing illusions has been used for several other purposes within therapy and healthcare. Would it be possible to engineer a virtual environment for therapy within a cancer context? This thesis follows the design process behind
This thesis is a journey of dissent, an exploration of the counter-movements against the business-as-usual illustrated by the means of food. It relates my intense odyssey as student dealing with her own research process while diving into the fabulous tasty realm of food resistance. I aim through my words to demonstrate the significant potential of food as an instrument of dissent, of resistance ag
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
Why have I decided to put the final touches on this document now, almost six years after I left the Lund University School of Industrial Design? In retrospect, with six years of experience as an industrial designer, the focus for my master’s thesis would have been something entirely different, but this document is an interesting snapshot of my thoughts at the half way point between when the doors
Problemdiskussion: Sektorn för olja och gas är inte särskilt mogen när det gäller kunskapen om försörjningskedjor. Det valda företaget för fallstudien, Maersk Drilling (MD), har problem med ett splittrat IT-landskap och dålig datakvalitet. Det har orsakat problem med ineffektiva och komplexa processer där det krävs onödig kommunikation, parallell inmatning av data, etc. Inom upphandlingar och inkProblem Discussion: The oil and gas sector is not very mature in terms of supply chain management. The chosen case company, Maersk Drilling (MD), has problems with a split IT-landscape with poor data quality. It has caused problems with inefficient and complex processes with much communication required, parallel information and more. Within procurement it translates to problems in spend managemen
Israel is often referred to as a fragmented state, with the situation between Palestinians and Jews in mind. In Israel however, there are far more fragmentations – even among the Jewish populations. Ethnical differences between Ashkenazi and Mizrahi, religious differences between ultra-orthodox, orthodox and secular, and ideological differences within the Zionist-framework. There is, however, an
This thesis deals with animal bones from the medieval town of Viljandi. My aim is to study the consumption of different species and possible spatial, temporal and social differences thereof. Bone assemblages from Viljandi’s suburb, town and castle area are analyzed with osteological, quantificative and statistical methods. Most of the consumed species in the town have been cattle, sheep, goat an
This paper aims to investigate how propaganda is used in Russian media. On February 24, 2022, an armed conflict started in Ukraine at the initiative of Russia, which led to a number of devastating consequences for Ukraine. The discourses surrounding this conflict have affected the whole world and this topic was therefore chosen as it is very relevant today. The purpose of the study is to gain a pe
Bakgrund: Distanslöpare beskrivs som en grupp som utsätts för hög risk att drabbas av överbelastningsskador som till största del är lokaliserade i den nedre extremiteten. En svag abduktormuskulatur förmodas vara en bidragande faktor till att utveckla överbelastningsskador hos löpare. Det är i dagsläget vanligt med muskelstärkande träning för höftabduktorerna både som rehabiliteringsåtgärd samt i p
I Sverige är aktiebolaget idag vår vanligaste associationsform och fördelarna är många. Den förmod¬ligen starkaste av dem är regeln om det begränsade ansvaret för aktieägare. Genom denna regel åtnjuter aktieägare skydd mot att behöva gälda bolagets borgenärer med mer än det redan satsade aktiekapitalet. Med detta som bakgrund kan det begränsade ansvaret sägas vara en direkt förutsättning för förveIn Sweden, the most common type of company is the limited stock company (aktiebolag), which brings about several advantages. The strongest one is probably the shareholders’ limited liability. By this rule, the stock owners acquire protection from having to atone for any company debt exceed¬ing the already submitted equity stock. Keeping this in mind, one can consider the limited liability being an
None of us are immune to the ongoing identity-processes. Identity formation is something that we are engaged in every day, both in our consciousness and our subconsciousness, from the society levels down to personal levels. This study examines how individuals with Assyrian background form their identities in Sweden. Questions on ”homeland” and ”home”, and statelessness are asked to contribute to t
The focus of this master’s thesis has been getting a six-legged robot to autonomously navigate around a room with obstacles. To make this possible a time-of-flight camera has been implemented in order to map the environment. Two force sensing resistors were also mounted on the front legs to sense if the legs are in contact with the ground. The information from the sensors together with a path plan
Bakgrund: Fotbollsskador kan påverka spelaren både fysiskt och psykiskt. Detta kan i sin tur hämma rehabiliteringsprocessen efter en skada och därför är det viktigt att detta fångas upp under rehabiliteringen. Syfte: Syftet med studien är att kartlägga och beskriva en grupp fotbollsspelares rehabiliteringsprocess samt gruppens upplevelser av den fysioterapeutiska rehabiliteringen efter en skada. S
Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to develop a simulation model that represents the S-train network. The model will then be analysed in order to improve the regularity. We will then present a locally optimized proposal on the placement of the buffer time for every train line. Delimitation: This report intends only to analyse a ”normal day” during rush hour. We will ignore unexpected course of
This thesis is a case study of the only confirmed betrothal portrait in Swedish collections, sent by Erik XIV to Elisabeth I. The thesis examines the portrait in detail to find the symbolic differences and meanings in comparison to other portraits of the Swedish monarch. One of the main questions raised in the thesis is the question on which symbols can further deepen the understanding that this p
I Skåne står industrisektorn för omkring 26% av energianvändningen, och producerar samtidigt betydande mängder spillvärme. Det pågår kontinuerligt ett utvecklingsarbete och det finns redan många lyckade exempel på återvinning av industriell restvärme, men det finns fortfarande potential till förbättring. Som fallstudie har en medelstor kemisk tillverkningsindustri, som huvudsakligen producerar vat
