HVAC systems are widely used to provide a good indoor air quality in buildings. Buildings stand for a substantial part of the total energy consumption in developed countries, and with an increased focus on cost reductions and energy savings, it is necessary to use intelligent and energy-efficient controllers. Accurate models describing the dynamics of the building system is a good basis for intel
The integration of the global economy is a phenomena that is increasingly evident in our everyday lives. Ranging from rapid economic growth in developing nations to the flow of capital across continents, globalization is affecting almost all corners of modern society. This includes the higher education sector, in which recent years have seen unprecedented growth in Asia as the economy increasingly
Abstract Problem/Bakgrund: Aspergers Syndrom (AS) och Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) är två neuropsykiatriska funktionsnedsättningar. AS karaktäriseras främst av svårigheter och begränsningar med socialt umgänge, ömsesidigt socialt samspel, brister i kommunikation och kontroll av känslor. ADD kännetecknas generellt genom problem med koncentrations- och uppmärksamhetsproblem och svårighet att fi
Syftet med undersökningen är att rapportera hur rytmikpedagogik och rörelsebaserad musikundervisning kan bidra till ömsesidig integration bland elever i en multikulturell svensk skola. Jag har genomfört en studie där jag kombinerar en internetbaserad enkät med en fokusgruppsintervju. Femtio musikpedagoger över hela Sverige svarade på enkäten, de flesta vilka arbetar med El Sistema. El Sistema erbjThe purpose of this study is to investigate how eurhythmics and body-based music education could contribute to mutual integration of students in a multicultural Swedish school. I have conducted a study, combining an Internet-based survey with a focus group interview. Fifty music teachers throughout Sweden answered the survey, most of who work at El Sistema. El Sistema offers optional music educati
Undersökningar med joniserade strålning är ibland nödvändiga för diagnos och behandling av gravida kvinnor. Det är viktigt att röntgensjuksköterskor har rätt kompetens och utbildning för att möta vårdtagarens behov. Bristfällig kunskap om negativa konsekvenser av strålning kan leda till onödig oro hos gravida kvinnor. Kunskap om potentiella negativa effekter till följd av röntgenstrålning tillåter
This thesis examines if it’s possible for Global Cities to claim international political authority on a legitimate basis of State Capacity. How is it that Global Cities can develop their own independent foreign and security policies even though these areas traditionally have been seen as a monopolized core function of the nation state and its central governments? Why do the international system of
Material science has become an important research area in order to fulfill today’s requirements on lighter, cheaper and more sustainable materials. The European spallation source is a research center based on the world’s most powerful neutron source, which will enable new possibilities to evaluate material properties down to an atomic level. The linear accelerator (Linac), accelerates with help of
This thesis investigates how to establish the relationship between OSI layer 7 parameters of video streaming and the QoE of the user, and to evaluate which methods are most tting for the estimation of QoE. The project is made in cooperation with LTH and Acreo, and is a part of the Next generation over-the-top multimedia services (NOTTS) 7and the Eco system for Future Media Distribution (EFRAIM) p
The aim of this master thesis is to analyse the development of existing guidelines for storing of solid biofuels as well as highlighting doubts on how storage and handling of biofuel within CHP industry and paper mass industry. Through interviews and site visits, identify what risk reducing measures that are applied in practice. In an effort to analyse statistics and examine the frequency of the v

In this thesis a system is developed for robust time difference estimation for multiple microphones in reverberant environments, without any knowledge of the 3D positions of the microphones or the room. RANSAC is used to find line segments in sets of frames containing a number of the largest GCC-PHAT peaks. Focus is on real experiments with one moving sound source continuously playing music. The e
Nanowires have shown great promise in the research field, however, it seems quite a challenge to get them incorporated into the silicon industry and entering the commercial field. One step towards this is to substitute the gold which is used for the catalyst particle for a different material, compatible with the silicon industry. In this project, the possibility of using in-situ nucleation inside
Den svenska och internationella spelbranschen har växt under de senaste åren. En större och viktigare spelbransch är också behov av immaterialrättsligt skydd och spel skyddas först och främst genom upphovsrätten. Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att utreda hur skyddet för videospel är utformat i den svenska nationella upphovsrätten. Syftet är också att analysera det nuvarande skyddet och ta ställniThe Swedish and international video game industry have grown the last few years. An expanding video game industry relies on protection of intellectual property and copyright. The purpose of this paper is to examine how the Swedish national copyright of video games is formed. The purpose of this paper is also to analyse if the Swedish national copyright of video games is effective and satisfying an
Forskning har visat att sexuell hälsa är ett tabu-belagt ämne som saknar prioritering inom sjukvården. Sjuksköterskor är ovilliga att tala om ämnet med patienter då de saknar kunskap om ämnet och dess betydelse. Sjuksköterskor har påtalat behovet av strategier för att bryta barriärer och främja deras förmåga att samtala om sexuell hälsa. Denna studie syftar till att belysa de strategier som finns
A large portion of upper-limb prosthesis users are known to defer the use of electronic prostheses due to their high cost, considerable weight and lack of durability. Within this thesis, an approach to simple, low-cost pressure feedback systems is made. Using commercially available pressure sensors and rudimentary materials such as PDMS and polycarbonate plastic, a working prototype for pressure-s
X-rays have been used for imaging for over 100 years due to their unique interaction properties with matter that allow them to penetrate samples and reveal detailed structural information on the atomic scale. NanoMAX is one of the first beamlines to be developed at the new Swedish synchrotron radiation source MAX IV. It will use high brilliance, coherent X-radiation to utilize these properties ful
Detta examensarbete undersöker styvhetsegenskaperna för tre armeringsmaterial: ferrocement, glasfiber- och kolfibertextilarmering, tillämpade för skalkonstruktioner. En av de strategier som användes för undersökningen var ett mekaniskt försök med kompositarmerade betongbalkar. Det mekaniska försöket skulle sedan verifieras med numeriska och analytiska modeller. Jämförelser mellan de mekaniska och The purpose of this master’s thesis is to investigate the stiffness properties of three reinforcement materials for concrete shell structures: ferrocement, glass-fibre textile and carbon-fibre textile. Three types of strategies were used to analyse the properties of the materials, an analytical model, experimental beam prototypes and a numerical analysis. Immediate comparison of the mechanical exp
The aim of this study is to examine how the two nature reserves Fågelsångsdalen and Linnebjer are being maintained. Fågelsångsdalen has 16 different management areas whereas Linnebjer has 12. My observations for each of these areas took place out in the field with the help of each management plan and a map of the area. The current status of the different management areas is compared to the managem
There are a number of reasons to form a nature reserve - to preserve and promote biodiversity and to assure areas for outdoor life are two of them. To be able to maintain these values, it is important that an adequate management plan is established for the area in question. I have examined two nature reserves in the county of Lund, Sweden – Fågelsångsdalen and Linnebjer. Both of these reserves con
