Nowadays the technology is progressing continuously. The designers are developing products with new features and always giving to the user an innovative technological solution for the society problems. The standard methods to design new devices are becoming slower for the demand of the products. Due to this growing complexity, some possible substitutes of the traditional Register Transfer Level (R
Video conferencing is a very bandwidth sensitive application, if the available bandwidth is to low to handle the send rate of the media, packages will be lost in the network and thus the conference will be disrupted. Axis Communications would like to know which techniques are used today to ensure optimized bandwidth usage and as good quality as possible during a video conference even if the networ
The presence of endocrine disrupting compounds, so-called EDC’s, in aquatic environments has become an emerging issue for environmental health. Since the 1990’s these compounds have been displaying estrogenic effects on aquatic organisms downstream from sewage treatment plants (STPs). The cause of the problem is mainly the inability of conventional STP’s to remove these unwanted substances from ou
Studiens syfte var att undersöka om expressivt skrivande, som i tidigare studier visat sig ha effekt på fysisk och psykisk hälsa, kunde förbättra vård- och omsorgspersonals välbefinnande i form av lägre stress, mindre negativ affekt, mer positiv affekt samt färre somatiska symtom. I studien undersöktes om graden av självmedkänsla påverkades av interventionen. Det förutsågs att experimentgruppens d
Object detection technologies, represented by face detection system which has been studied for a long time, have developed recently because of the development of technologies of high performance computing and pattern recognition technique. Especially, pedestrian detection system has gathered attention recently, and it will be applied to an automobile safety system and monitoring camera system. Whi
This report explains my degree project at Lund University School of Industrial Design. The project started out by exploring the materials Wood and Textile, although after researching the two areas further it seemed more valuable to look into the way we consume these materials today. We do not have unlimited natural resources, and yet we keep using them as if we do. I chose to reduce the project in
Uppsatsen diskuterar hur civil olydnad som motiv för brottsbeskrivningsenlig gärning påverkar straffet för gärningen i det svenska rättssamhället. Efter att ha definierat begrepp och gått igenom den juridiska litteraturen kring civil olydnad ges en genomgång av tre domar vari Högsta Domstolen behandlar civil olydnad. Sammanfattningsvis nås slutsatsen att civil olydnad inte används i skärpande
Denna uppsats består av två delar. Den första delen behandlar vad som sker då en likabehandlingsplan på en offentlig myndighet, i detta fall Region Skåne, utökar rättigheter för persongrupper som inte är skyddade enligt lag. Den gör en utblick över internationell rätt och EU-rätt för att söka ytterligare ledning till hur rätten ser ut i ett vidare perspektiv. Då det inte är självklart vad som gäThis essay is divided into two parts. The issue discussed in the first part is what happens when a public authority, in this case Region Skåne, expands their equal treatment plan to cover grounds of discrimination not included in the Swedish Discrimination Act. It also provides an overview of international and EU laws regarding discrimination. The theories of jurist Wesley Newcomb Hohfeld are use
Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) enters inland waters from the surrounding terrestrial ecosystems, and is assimilated by bacterioplankton, mineralizing it to carbon dioxide (CO2). This bacterial respiration (BR) is an important part of carbon processing in freshwater, but it is also a process of global significance; in oceans and inland waters combined, BR is probably the largest single sink of orga
In Sweden, the 10th most common occupation is professional cleaning. Cleaning workers are exposed to many risk factors including high physical workload and the development of new-onset asthma and other types of respiratory symptoms. This master thesis has been a part of a research project at the division of Ergonomics and Aerosol Technology (EAT), Lund University, in which the health aspect of cle
This project started as an exploration of robotics with the goal of developing a product concept utilizing the technology in a way that makes sense. By looking at the application areas of today, recent technological developments and its speculated future applications, the focus became on developing a robot for elderly care. Through research about the ageing process and Swedish elderly care system
Research in vehicle-to-vehicle communication and the Vehicular Ad Hoc Network (VANET) are two major fields of growing interest. The advent and recent development of these concepts foster evolution of the new paradigm of the transportation system, widely known as Intelligent Transport System (ITS). Among the numerous challenges in adopting VANET for ITS, modeling the radio channel is a vital one, b
Stadsförnyelseprojektet H+ i Helsingborg överväger en sorterande systemlösning för avlopp, vilken skulle kunna bidra till att kommunen helt eller delvis uppfyller sin miljöprofil. Fördelar med klosettvattensortering är bland annat att biogasproduktion gynnas och att växtnäringsämnen lättare kan återvinnas, i jämförelse med ett konventionellt system. I litteraturen är det dock tydligt att miljönyttThe urban renewal project H+, in the city of Helsingborg, is considering a source separating wastewater system, which could potentially help the municipality to fully or partly reach environmental targets. Advantages of blackwater separation include increased production of biogas and a more convenient recycling of plant nutrients, in comparison to a conventional system. However, existing literatur
It is critical for the durability of power modules to maintain low enough temperature in their components (IGBTs and diodes). The goal of this project was to examine methods to estimate the junction temperature of components in an IGBT module in real-time. After studying literature on the subject, a model was developed using Fostercircuits and feedback from the NTC-thermistor in the IGBT-module. T
De senaste årtiondenas teknologiska utveckling har haft en stor inverkan på journalistbranschen. Inte minst har sättet nyheter produceras och konsumeras förändrats i grunden. Fler aktörer tävlar om konsumenter på ett fält där journalister tidigare haft ett relativt ohotat informationsmonopol. En konsekvens är att journalistbranschen har kommersialiserats, vilket gjort att läsare jagas på ett nytt
Research in wind power generation technology is a topic of high relevance in the context of renewable energy systems. This project aims to develop and implement an automatic operation and control system for an experimental vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) located at Lunds Tekniska Högskola, in Sweden. Supervisory control and data acquisition systems (SCADA) are increasingly considered indispensab
Within the field of fire protection engineering, there are different buildings classes depending on their safety needs. Building class 0 includes buildings which are considered to have the highest protection need and the prescriptive regulations are not applicable in these kinds of buildings. The building class was introduced 2012 and there are still not a consensus of how it should be handled. Ba
In the wake of alarming reports from IPCC, policy makers all over the world have recognized offshore wind power to become an essential contributor in the future renewable energy system and battling of climate change. However, many countries including Norway lack extensive areas of shallow water suitable for conventional offshore wind, hence an interest for deep offshore solutions has arisen. One o
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
