During the twenty-first century, questions concerning the use of information and communication technology have become a priority on the international agenda, according to the UN; we are now entering an Information Society. The World Summit on the Information Society was a possibility for the UN to discuss and establish ethical principles concerning the new society. The purpose of this study is to
Uppsatsen är en kvalitativ fallstudie om ett utvecklingsprojekt på östra piren i Karlshamn i Blekinge. Studien intresserar sig för hur konkurrens mellan geografiska territorier på tar sig för uttryck på den lokala platsen. Utvecklingsinsatsen som studeras är Netport Science Port etapp V som är en nybyggnation som är tänkt att attrahera forskare genom en kreativ miljö. Frågeställningarna handlar om
Kvinnor har låtit utföra abort under alla tider. Under merparten av historiens gång har ingreppet emellertid behandlats som ett samhälleligt tabu och var därför olagligt i flertalet länder fram till mitten på 1900-talet. Den sexuella revolutionen under 1960- och 1970-talet, i kombination med stora vetenskapliga framsteg på området för mänsklig reproduktion, har kommit att spela en avgörande roll fWomen have performed abortions during all times. For most of history abortion, however, has been treated as a social taboo and was therefore illegal in most countries until the mid 1900’s. The sexual revolution during the 1960’s and 1970’s, combined with major scientific advances in the field of human reproduction, has come to play a critical role in a changed view of the role of women in society.
This study examined the relationship between self-esteem and mental illness in a clinical group, consisting of children and adolescents, ages 10-18, who had been in contact with the child- and adolescent psychiatry. The participants (N=22) filled out the questionnaires “I think I am” and “Beck Youth Inventories”, which were used as measurements of perceived self-esteem and mental illness. These re
The purpose of this thesis is to analyze the video and campaign KONY 2012. KONY 2012 became world news in March 2012. The film is produced by the non-profit organization Invisible Children with the purpose to stop the leader of the Ugandan army LRA, Joseph Kony. The aim is to get a deeper understanding of how non-profit organizations working with human rights are marketing by humanitarian branding
This master’s thesis describes methods of calculating deformations of large astronomical telescope mirrors caused by the mirror support system. In the first part of the report these calculation methods are derived, along with methods of optimizing a support system pattern. Both analytical and numerical methods are described in the case of deformation analysis, and methods based on probabilistic me
The purpose of this Master’s thesis has been to establish a method with which the stochastic field for the hydraulic conductivity within an aquifer can be determined. The stochastic field is characterised by the mean value and the standard deviation of the hydraulic conductivity together with a selected statistical distribution and the correlation between different points within the aquifer. The a
The modelling of rubber materials in industrial applications is often carried out by experimental analysis. The company Saab Automobile AB in Trollhättan has assigned the task of simulating the transportation of vibration and noise from the engine of a car to the surrounding structures. The vibration and noise is reduced by the use of vibration dampers made of rubber. The damper is designed as two
This master thesis describes nonlinear nite element analysis and ex- perimental verication tests of a corrugated board panel when loaded in-plane. Detailed modelling of a panel, where both the liner and fluting is represented in detail, is compared to simplied shell modelling with a solid core and to experimental tests. In the experimental tests, Stereo- scopic Digital Speckle Photography is used t
A low creep rate and a long lifetime are important mechanical properties for corrugated board and its constituent’s linerboard and fluting. These properties ensure that the package protects the goods during the entire duration of transport and storage. This study involves several creep and tensile tests of linerboard in the machine direction (MD). The objective is to investigate how free or rest
This master dissertation describes the process of implementing a coupling between the boundary element method (BEM) and the finite element method (FEM) for three dimensional time harmonic structure-acoustic models in CALFEM, which is a finite element toolbox to MATLAB. Since no boundary elements earlier have been represented in CALFEM the development and implementation of constant and linear boundar
This master’s thesis relates to the design of prefabricated balconies. Such balconies are often designed in different ways. A separate investigation of what is technically possible regarding, among other things, supports and balcony sizes must often be performed in every project involving balconies. Three kinds of solutions are presented. These are tie rod, cantilever and column supported balconie
