Title: Chillchain for cut flowers ? how the distribution works. Author: Anna-Maja Svarén, student at Lund Institute of Technology, mechanical engineering. Supervisors: Annika Olsson, Department of Design Sciences. Bengt Sahlberg, Bioett AB. Problem: How does the distribution of cut flower works regarding temperature, losses, responsibility, complaints, packaging and weak points? Purpose:
Ladyfest Sweden is a cultural festival which aims to create a cultural space of expression for women, thus the artists and the organizers are women. It is organized by three different groups in three different cities: Malmö, Stockholm and Göteborg. This thesis is focused on Ladyfest Malmö, all the field work being realized with this group. We tried to include this phenomenon in a global and a part
For many years the benefits of using stockings that exert a pressure on the legs, to prevent and treat a number of health conditions, have been well known. For just as many years carers and caretakers have been struggling to put on these stockings onto the legs. The high compression strength of the stockings makes it very difficult to put them on the way one does with ordinary stockings. Today, me
For the Geneva motor show 2006 I created a special Trim and Colour for Pininfarina’s three production cars. Trim and Colour means the complete design of materials and colours used in the car exterior and interior. In my diploma work I explored the possibility to unite the image of three different cars by the use of material and colours. I analysed the exhibition environment in which they were to
Popular Abstract in Undetermined I den här populärvetenskapliga sammanfattningen berörs avhandlingen Gradient Methods for Large-Scale and Distributed Linear Quadratic Control. Hur kan jetflygplan hålla sig i luften? Hur kan en Segway balansera en människa? Dessa frågor och många fler kan besvaras med hjälp av reglerteknik. Reglerteknik är ett område som behandlar hur man automatiskt styr system oThis thesis considers methods for synthesis of linear quadratic controllers for large-scale, interconnected systems. Conventional methods that solve the linear quadratic control problem are only applicable to systems with moderate size, due to the rapid increase in both computational time and memory requirements as the system size increases. The methods presented in this thesis show a much slower
The main aim of this study is to answer the hypothesis that Judy Chicago's 1971 photolithograph "Red Flag", along with her academic career, can be seen as an answer to the new approach to art history and what defines art, that Linda Nochlin calls for in her essay "Why have there been no great women artists?". The analysis of "Red Flag", which depicts a bloodfille
För att en häktad person inte ska kunna försvåra brottsutredningen går det att ålägga denne restriktioner avseende möjligheterna till kontakt med omvärlden. Det kan emellertid vara mycket påfrestande att vara häktad med restriktioner. Artikel 3 i Europakonventionen innehåller ett förbud mot tortyr samt mot omänsklig eller förnedrande behandling eller bestraffning. Artikeln kan aktualiseras vid anvIn order to prevent a pre-trial detainee from obstructing the criminal investigation it is possible to impose restrictions on the possibilities of contacting the outside world. However, it can be very challenging to be detained with restrictions. Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights, which contains a prohibition of torture and inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, can be ap
Elbilars utveckling går fort framåt och fler väljer att investera i en. Vilka olika laddningstekniker finns det? Hur kommer laddningen av elbilar påverka våra elnät? Kraftdistribution till en elvägssträcka modelleras för att påvisa kapacitetskrav och kostnader. Studien visar även hur hemmaladdning och arbetsplatsladdning kan påverka belastningen i elnätet om reglering uteblir.Sweden’s road traffic is responsible for a great part of the emissions of greenhouse gases in the country. Conventional vehicles, driven by fossil fuels, have low efficiency and emits environmentally destructive particles. Electric vehicles can be the solution! Electric vehicles have no local emissions while driving and the electric motors of today have an efficiency of above 90 %. But there are s
The Öresund region, or Greater Copenhagen as it also is represented as, is a cross-border region connecting Skåne with Copenhagen. Political initiatives have forced development towards a more integrated region with one regional identity. This has been complicated by border controls, redefining the national borders in an inconvenient way, especially for everyday transnational commuters. Through sem
Computer-Assisted Language Learning, more simply abbreviated as "CALL", dates back to the 60s, 70s and 80s. Tested in language laboratories, pioneer CALL software was limited to very simply mechanical exercises on a stationary PC machine. By the year of 2016, product innovation has brought CALL software development into a new dimension. Today, we not only witness the growth of learning m
Children’s participation could seem to be an obvious ingredient in social services child protection investigations. Children’s rights to make their voice and opinion heard and to affect the decisions that involve them is stated in law, conventions and other regulations. Despite this, a lot of previous studies show that children’s rights often are forgotten or non-prioritized in social services. Th
Objective To assess the degree of confidence with which expert ultrasound operators make a diagnosis of benign, borderline and invasive malignant ovarian tumors and its effect on diagnostic accuracy and interobserver agreement. Method Digitally stored static two-dimensional B-mode images of representative cases of benign, borderline and invasive malignant ovarian tumors were independently assessed
Proteus mirabilis bacilli play an important role in human urinary tract infections, bacteremia, and rheumatoid arthritis. The authors previously studied human complement C3 conversion by smooth-form P. mirabilis O10, O23, O30, and O43 lipopolysaccharides (LPSs) and showed that smooth Proteus LPSs fragmented C3 in a dose- and time-dependent manner. In the present study, one smooth P. mirabilis S195
Flow injection analysis provides a convenient platform for the use of biosensors in the monitoring of bio-processes. A major requirement in bioprocess monitoring is real time information about various process parameters like concentration of products and substrates, flow rates, and injection volumes. Depending on the application, the monitoring requirements vary and this results in a need for diff
Abstract Objective: To study the very long-term course of severe depression and the subjects own experiences many years after a suicide attempt. Method: Patients diagnosed with severe depression/melancholia between 1956 and 1969 were interviewed 37- 53 years after index admission. Seventy-five telephone interviews were held and medical records were read in many cases. Long-term course of depressio
Energy conservation is a current and expanding area in the building industry of today. The energy demands on buildings have been tightened through the years and the interest for energy efficient buildings has increased. Passive houses are one of the concepts that have emerged. New standards for energy and effect classification have been developed. Buildings are now going to be classified from how
This study attempts to receive insights and thus, expand the general understanding of customers‟ perceptions and associations towards store image for grocery store in an emerging Lithuania market. The case study of Rimi Baltic company is taken as an example. Further on, a qualitative strategy is employed in this research. Information is collected by employing photo elicitation method, tw
Dynamic models complement existing time series of observations and static critical load calculations by simulating past and future development of chemistry in forest and lake ecosystems. They are used for dynamic assessment of the acidification and to produce target load functions, that describe what combinations of nitrogen and sulfur emission reductions are needed to achieve a chemical or biolog
We measured angular distributions of differential cross section, beam analyzing power, and recoil polarization for neutral pion electroproduction at Q(2)=1.0 (GeV/c)(2) in 10 bins of 1.17 <= W <= 1.35 GeV across the Delta resonance. A total of 16 independent response functions were extracted, of which 12 were observed for the first time. Comparisons with recent model calculations show that respons
