The Swedish construction industry is subject to a high rate of occupational injuries, where overload factors are a significant cause. Through Human Activity Recognition, movement data can be collected and analyzed, enabling the identification of harmful movement patterns with the use of machine learning. This study aims to describe the environmental barriers and stakeholder attitudes towards a sma
The exclusion problem has been a longstanding problem for the property dualist. The Compatibilist solution is to deny overdetermination, and thus they say we may preserve both mental and physical efficacy. However, in my paper I wish to show why the Compatibilist solution has not secured a materialist position. She has not established how supervenient properties are grounded in physicalism.
Infrared absorption microscopy is a powerful chemometric tool with a wide variety of applications. It is, however, subject to considerable disturbances from atmospheric gases and scattering effects. As experimental fixes are not always applicable or advisable, data therefore needs to be computationally corrected before any attempt at an interpretation. This work designed, improved and validated se
Alfa Laval has been using its unique adhesive mixture for over 50 years for bonding of rubber gaskets to the corrugated plates used in their heat exchangers. The adhesive mix is designated GC6 and is composed out of an epoxy component and a phenolic component. GC6 has throughout the years shown exceptionally good performance in both adhesion to the rubber gasket and to the plate with minimal pre-t
Denna rapport innehåller en produktutvecklingsprocess som fokuserar på att integrera ett mjukstängningssystem för skjutdörrar i ett existerande skåp på IKEA. Enheten har idag vad som kallas för guider som håller skåpsdörrarna på plats. Målet är att skapa en enhet som besitter de viktigaste egenskaperna av en guide och av en mjukstängningsmekanism för att kunna ersätta den förstnämnda. Detta görs fThis master thesis includes a product development process focused on incorporating a soft closing system for sliding doors in an existing cabinet at IKEA. A soft closing system prevents the door from slamming into the furniture when closing it. The unit today has what is called guides, holding the cabinet doors in place. The aim is to create a device that possesses all of the crucial qualities of
Engine development for reduced fuel consumption and for the ability to use alternative types of fuels is required as emissions and the limited access of petroleum are issues coupled to diesel engines. Experimental testing is in many cases insufficient and expensive in comparison with simulations for engine development. This thesis is focused on extending a model of a diesel compression-ignition en
In order to achieve a circular economy, EU has discussed different instruments, including lifetime labeling. Circular economy has a partial focus on reducing waste, which products with longer life reduce. This study aims to investigate the issues that are important when considering labeling systems, as if it should be mandatory or optional, if the labeling will be effective and what products it wi
Radiocarbon dating of human tissues has great potential in medical applications. A consequence of the complex path of radiocarbon to humans through diet is that the radiocarbon content of samples from human subjects is not directly comparable with the atmosphere's. By considering the harvest seasons in Sweden and its surrounding countries, a new software was developed to further investigate if
Distribution and warehousing networks of Humanitarian Organizations has proven to be an area where cost reductions and shortened lead times can be achieved. Humanitarian organizations have also started pre-positioning goods in anticipation of disasters as a way to improve their disaster preparedness. Research in the area has, generally, been extensive but few articles have tried to incorporate the
We consider a technique involving Neural Networks in order to try to predict trends for cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum etc. In that respect the project involves construction, design and training of a deep learning Neural Network based on historical trading data for these cryptocurrencies. Subsequently we apply this trained network in order to better understand its ability to possibly f
Detta projekt utreder hur en by kan utvecklas genom att ha turism som drivkraft. Knäred är en ort med cirka 1200 invånare och har haft en stagnerande befolkningskurva de senaste 20 åren. Det är besultat att den tåget återigen ska gå mellan Markaryd och Halmstad för persontrafik med up- pehåll i Knäred. Men genom att anlägga en järnvägsstatoion innebär inte per automatik att ett samhälle växer. FörThis project is investigating how a village can be developed by using tourism as the main driving force. Knäred is a villa- ge with around 1200 inhabitants that has had a decreasing population the past 20 years. It has been decided that the old train stop will be opened for passenger transportation again. But reestablishing a train station does not automa- tically mean that a settlement will grow.

Det finns därför ett behov av omvårdnadsåtgärder som främjar delaktighet hos dessa patienter. Syfte: Beskriva omvårdnadsåtgärder som främjar delaktighet för patienter med stroke inom somatisk slutenvård. Metod: En litteraturstudie med en icke-systematisk strukt
This thesis work aims to find a suitable environment for different virtualization system to achieve enhanced performance. Virtualization plays a vital role in cloud services, and it is essential to help cloud users comprehend the brief distinction between different virtualization technologies. The hypervisor-based technology has been used as the primary selection for cloud services in the past, bu
Control theory plays a big part in the development of more efficient and environ- mental friendly combustion engines. But the process of designing good controllers can be very time consuming and complex. One way to reduce the time spent on design and testing of a controller is to use simulations to get fast feedback of the controllers performance. Therefore, in this thesis it is investigated if a
Behandling av avloppsvatten för att avlägsna ämnen som kan ha en negativ påverkan på den mänskliga hälsan och naturen är mycket viktigt innan vattnet återanvänds eller släpps ut i naturen. Intresset för anaerob vattenrening har ökat eftersom det är ett bra komplement till aeroba processer, samt för att det producerar energi i form av metangas. Målet med detta projekt var att undersöka hur olika dTreatment of wastewater is crucial for removing any compounds which can have a negative impact on human health and nature before the water is reused or released into nature. Interest in anaerobic treatment of wastewater has increased as it is a good complement to aerobic treatment, and it produces energy in form of methane. The aim of this project was to investigate how different operational para
The high surface-to-volume ratio of nanoparticles (NPs) makes them an interesting source for scientific research. How interfacial energies interplay between such a small structure and a solid bulk surface, are important because of the versatile applications NPs regard. In this thesis, a convenient and reliable method for interfacial energy determination was investigated. The interfacial energies

In Sweden there are currently no cohesive and unequivocal regulations regarding fire safety for upholstered furniture. In contrast to this the regulations regarding fire safety on vessels are very clear-cut and easy to interpret. The aim of this thesis is to investigate whether the current standards are sufficient, and if it sufficient to only impose requirements regarding flammability. Whether it
Det Svenska flerbostadshusbeståndet från åren 1945-1975 är på väg att nå slutet på sin tekniska livslängd. Byggnaderna från denna tidsperiod är i stort behov av renovering samt energieffektiviserande åtgärder för att minska energianvändningen och möjliggöra fortsatt användning av byggnaderna i framtiden, samtidigt som ekonomiskt utsatta personer har råd att bo kvar i byggnaderna. Dagens utmaning äThe Swedish apartment building stock from 1945-1975 is reaching the end of its technical life span. Renovations and energy efficiency measures are needed to reduce energy use and enable continued usage of the buildings in the future and still provide affordable housing to socioeconomic vulnerable groups. The problem today is that some building features, which are needed to estimate the renovation
