In 2018, the Swedish government decided to invest 350 million SEK in welfare technology as a response to the increasing population of the elderly. The aim of this study was to investigate implementation managers’ descriptions of their work and use of welfare technology. The interviews were conducted at three long-term facilities for the elderly in the municipality of Burlöv, Helsingborg, and Hässl
Sweden has a significant rental sector with about a third of the total number of households rented out. The intention of the rental market should be that it is accessible to all people in society, regardless of nationality or income. The general mediation of rental apartments today is through a queuing system, which in Stockholm shows that a queuing time can be up to half one's life. The alter
In May 2011 Tetra Pak launched the first carton bottle for aseptic milk, the Tetra Evero Aseptic (TEA). This Master Thesis aims to give proposals on how the future development of the mechanism working as a dolly when the inductor is making the longitudinal sealing (LS) on the package in the A6 filling machine, should be continued. The current LS mechanism is not fulfilling the requirements in func
Nature-based solutions (NBS) offer the potential to sustainably address environmental problems in an urban context, with environmental, social, and economic benefits. As a relatively new concept, NBS is poorly defined in the literature and there is great need for more empirical information about implementation and impacts. This case study of the city of Malmö, Sweden, attempts to understand the st
People spend more and more of their awaken time indoors, resulting in no or little exposure to sunlight during the day. Natural daylight is superior to artificial light concerning our biological and psychological health, and it is one of the most important external signals to the circadian system, the “wake and sleep”-clock. The objective of this thesis was to develop a luminaire which spreads sun
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
The aim of this paper is to make an investigation of how authoritative conceptual framework about immigrants as a group is being constituted in the discourse regarding Swedish language for immigrants. I will also examine what connections there are to the overarching integration discourse. While doing this I try to establish the contrasting relationship between the ?Swedishness? and ?the Other?. My
The pursuit for equality between men and women is an ongoing struggle. One of the largest differences between men and women in general is the amount of time spent taking care of children and the home. This difference between men and women is one of the reasons women have less opportunity to pursue a career, be financially independent or take part in politics in most parts of the world. This differ
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
De standardiserade mätmetoder som används för att bestämma betongs tryckhållfasthet är anpassade för mätning efter relativt lång tid, men ifall det är av intresse att bestämma betongens hållfasthet kort tid efter gjutning är dessa metoder inte helt rättvisande. Cementbaserad betong är ett av världens vanligaste byggmaterial. Den har en god förmåga att motstå tryckspänningar och är inte speciellt Concrete is a building material that is normally cast according recipes, where a larger proportion of cement in the mixture results in a faster strength development and increased ultimate strength. The compressive strength, which can be considered as the most important property of concrete, is usually measured by a standardized procedure, where a test specimen is subjected to a progressively incre
Since the Chinese economy’s reform in 1980, it has been attracting enormous foreign investments. Many Swedish firms from different sectors such as technology, manufactory production, consumer, service industries and so on, had started their investments in China. China has become the first choice for global manufacturing due to the huge market, continuous economic growth, stable political situation
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
Crop type classification is essential for effective agricultural monitoring in India. Preforming crop type classification in the diverse Indian agriculture setting is a challenging task. This thesis leverages transformer-based deep learning model, specifically the Pixel-Set Encoder Temporal Attention Encoder (PSETAE), to classify ten crop types of rabi season (2024 - 25) using Satellite Image Time
The AI Commission prescribed a governance model, namely centralized leadership, to tackle existing digitalization challenges, as outlined in the Roadmap for Sweden at the end of 2024. This research discussed the implications of the Roadmap for Sweden on welfare governance within the Automated Decision-making (ADM) context as interpreted through a Weberian theoretical and methodological framework.
The industrial food production system have given rise to tens of thousands of local, national and international social movements concerned with food and agriculture, reacting to the perceived social and environmental failures of the industrial food system. One of the directions inside these movements is the internationally based “local food” movement. The ”local food” movement promotes small-scal
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
Gadolinium-based contrast agents (GBCAs) increase lesion detection and improve disease characterization for many cerebral pathologies investigated with MRI. These agents, introduced in the late 1980s, are in wide use today. However, some non-ionic linear GBCAs have been associated with the development of nephrogenic systemic fibrosis in patients with kidney failure. Gadolinium deposition has also
In this study, a high-speed, fast responsive, non-intrusive ultrasonic thermometry system was proposed as a potential candidate for overcoming the disadvantages of thermocouples. The principle of this system is based on the thermal dependence of the speed of sound, and the temperature is measured by detecting the flight time of ultrasonic wave (USW) between the transmitter and the receiver. For a
The European Open Science Cloud is a pan-European initiative that aims at developing a federated infrastructure that supports scientific research and Open Science. Having the FAIR principles at the core of Open Science practices, the Environmental Research Infrastructures (ENVRIs) that operate in Europe collaborate at cluster level (the ENVRI cluster) continuously improving the FAIRness of their s
