Purpose: The purpose of this research is to explore, analyze and bette
The Swedish energy policy is guided by two government bills which were approved by the Swedish parliament in 2009 stating that at least 50 percent of the electricity share should be provided by renewable energy sources by 2020. This thesis focuses on the wind power production and it is a part of the Smart Grid Gotland (SGG) project. One of the goals stated by the SGG project is to have an optimal
This study shows that to establish good horse welfare in the stable the housing conditions need to be carefully considered. Swedish animal welfare legislation imposes requirements of stable and horse owners to act in a certain way to prevent animal suffering. But many owners lack knowledge about why horses have specific requirements of its housing environment and that is why this study is importan
Spatial data is an important and necessary ingredient in the disaster management cycle. The preparedness phase requires simulation of disastrous events, identification of disaster management hotspots and creation of hazard- and risk maps. A rapid response in the event of a disaster requires good situational awareness and fast sharing of that knowledge across the community. Further, in the recovery
There are competing standards regarding the definition of the crime of “enforced disappearance” under international law. When criminalizing enforced disappearance at the national level as part of their obligations under international law, States which adopt a more narrow definition of enforced disappearance provided in the Rome Statute require victims of enforced disappearance to prove the existen
Technological advancements in the past few decades have been pushing the research field of animal migration forward rapidly. In this study light-level geolocators were used to track Swedish barred warblers Sylvia nisoria, a long-distance migrant wintering in equatorial East Africa. We obtained data on autumn migration events and on wintering sites. Ringing data from populations in Northern Europe
By adapting gear changes and cruise control of a Heavy Duty Vehicle (HDV) to road inclination, fuel and time savings can be achieved. In this thesis is presented a novel method of predicting the upcoming road topography, by constructing a geographical and topographical self-learning map from which a route prediction is made. The system is designed to simultaneously produce the desired road grade o
The electrochemical capacity of the nickel mass in the positive electrode when subjected to various conditions, and the relation to changes in the nickel hydroxide phases and crystallite size was studied in this thesis work. The various conditions being: two different electrolytes, KOH and KOH/LiOH, different temperature during charging and different charge times. The nickel mass was made into mon
This project is a collaboration with Electrolux, KTH Royal Institute of Technology and the School of Industrial Design (Lund University). The goal of the project was to investigate new ways of cooling an individual, to ultimately result in a product proposal. We have all experienced heat waves in the summer, which can affect us even in our homes. In addition, typical home activities such as cleani
Arbetet fokuserar på att ge en tydlig bakgrund till vad dagens projektingenjörer har för uppgift i ett ledande projekt. En frågeställning genom arbetet kommer att vara jämförelse mellan Trafikverkets definition av projektingenjörer kontra konsultens definition av projektingenjörer. Upplever projekteringsorganisationerna de krav som ställs på projektingenjörerna? Finns det en tydlig skillnad på kon
Denna studie fokuserar på en nästan 1700 år lång sjösedimentsekvens från Hässeldala Port i centrala Blekinge, sydöstra Sverige. Den omfattar övergångsperioden mellan pleistocen och holocen, eller mer precist eventen GI-1a och GS-1 samt början av den holocena epoken i iskärnorna, vilket motsvarar de sydsvenska pollenzonerna sen allerød till tidig preboreal. För att studera den senglaciala klimatutv
Water stress assessments on basin level of 96 SCA sites and global water issues affecting industry are presented. Four tools are evaluated with the aim to find indices that measure water stress, i.e. lack of water of good enough quality for humans and the ecosystem. Water indices, developed through research, become more accessible when they are in water tools, developed by non-governmental organis
This essay has translation of the Bible in view and more specifically inclusive language. I study a new test translation of Galatians, commissioned by the Swedish Bible Society this year. This translation has applied inclusive language and my problem for this essay is: is the Swedish Bible Society ́s test translation of the Galatians a plausible application of inclusive language? To be able to ans
This report has investigated which type of risk analysis methods that can be used in an early design phase in a unique facility from a time and quality perspective. Two planned underground facilities for the HL-LHC at CERN have been used as a case study. The methodology is an action research study with information gathered from a literature study and survey. Six different risk analysis methods hav
Biomanipulation, i.e. to reduced planktivorous- and benthivorous fish in order to receive changes in the trophic structure has been a successful method to improve water quality and the ecological status in eutrophic lakes. The initial idea was to increase the abundance of large zooplankton and thus to cause a trophic cascade with reduced algal biomass. Many studies failed to observe an increase of
The number of companies in Sweden has shown a significant increase over the last five years (www.bolagsverket.se). Data about these companies is an important asset for the customer relationship management market. In most business areas, users are in search for new customers. Companies, such as Lundalogik AB, provide a service, where the analysts can look for customers in an interactive environment
Examensarbetets syfte är att undersöka yrkesarbetares medvetenhetsnivå kring olyckor på arbetsplatser, personlig inställning till medvetet och omedvetet risktagande samt förebyggande av arbetsmiljöskador. Studien skall ge en indikation om vilka de bakomliggande faktorerna är till att yrkesarbetare tar risker i arbetslivet. Undersökning kommer också inrikta sig på att undersöka om det finns några tThe purpose of the master thesis is to investigate the workers level of awareness of accidents on the work place, personal attitude towards known and unknown risks and how to avoid them. The study will give an indication of the root causes of the risks the workers are taking at the construction site. The study will also research if there are any clear correlations between endangerment and age, gen
