Momentvektorering uppnås genom att manipulera bilens hjulhastigheter, i syfte att öka kurvhastigheterna och förbättra trafiksäkerheten. En dubbelkoppling på bakaxeln är en möjlig vektoreringsmetod för en bakhjulsdriven Formula Student-bil. Dubbelkopplingen gör att det inre hjulet kan glida och därmed skapa ett vridmoment kring bilens kropp i kurvans färdriktning. Målet med examensarbetet var att Torque vectoring for automobiles is used to increase cornering speeds and improve road safety by manipulating the car's wheel-speeds. One method of torque vectoring for a rear-wheel-drive Formula Student race car is using a dual-clutch to slip the inner wheel thus create a yaw moment during cornering. The goal of this thesis was to develop and design an electronic control unit to automaticall

This essay follows the repatriation process and debate concerning the return of the Paracas textiles from the Museum of World Culture in Gothenburg, Sweden to the National Museum in Lima, Peru. The essay uses mass media such as newspaper articles and radio segments to map the themes and problems that arise when one country asks for the return of cultural artefacts and the other country has to resp

Even though companies are aiming for an agile way of working, and by that mainly focusing on providing value to their customers, it is challenging to get accurate customer data. Software companies are struggling in effectively and efficiently integrating customer feedback in their development processes. The purpose of the study was therefore to describe and understand structured approaches whose p

The present master thesis was performed in cooperation with the company “Aventure AB”. The company’s R&D department envisioned a new yoghurt-based product able to decrease the blood glucose levels after a meal. The innovative characteristic of the product is due to the diet fibers of the barley grain, which is going to be incorporated inside the yoghurt. The preliminary experiments which were

“Cultural identity is closely linked to their ancestral lands. If they are deprived of them, by means of forced displacement, it seriously affects their cultural identity, and finally, their very right to life lato sensu...” (Sawhoyamaxa Indigenous Community v. Paraguay) In the last five decades a movement calling for the protection of indigenous peoples’ rights has precipitated in a wave of inte

In vehicles there are many issues involving the safety and performance. The safety issues are often regulated by governments, whereas the performance by the customer. One solution to both these issues is to take use of an all-wheel drive system, where a coupling engages and disengages driving axles when needed. Such a solution will, through added traction and stability, increase performance and sa

The study should result in any potential differences in BHAR, 3 years for IPOs in the Nordic market, accounting for the different relative asset classes. Previous research on which this study is based, studies long-run performance in other markets than the Nordic. In addition, it has focused on drawing conclusions about other explanatory variables. The study is based on a sample of a total of 213

Adenosine tetraphosphate, or Ap4A, is a nucleotide with very interesting proposed biological effects. Previous studies have indicated that blood glucose levels in mammals might increase in the presence of Ap4A, and that Ap4A might antagonize pancreatic ATP channels. In order to study these effects further, a reliable method of separating Ap4A from other nucleotides in biological samples is require

Purpose: This thesis purpose is to see how pharmaceutical companies can use the Transaction Cost Economics theory in their decision making in regards to the make, buy or ally decision when a new market emerges. Method: This is a basic case study that focuses on the pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca. It has an idiographic approach, and several semi-structured interviews have taken place. Pattern-

Våra sinnen skärps när vi omger oss bland grönska, djur och inte minst de olika årstidernas påverkan av upplevelsen i naturen. Att vistas i skog och mark har stor betydelse för människors hälsa och livskvalitet. I detta arbete har jag konstnärligt undersökt ett synliggörande av ett idag undangömt kulturlandskap sydväst om Kalmar. Ett område innehållande unika och höga naturupplevelsevärden där ja

Bakgrund: Stressrelaterad ohälsa är i dagsläget en vanlig följdkonsekvens av att vardagen blir svårhanterlig. Forskning visar att yoga kan främja hälsa och välbefinnandde, men samtidigt förekommer en kunskapslucka av yogainterventioners effekt inom aktivitetsvetenskap. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att utifrån ett arbetsterapeutiskt perspektiv kartlägga yogans användbarhet som arbetsteraputisk int

Urban Sprawl is one of the challenges to urban development in many nations. Different aspects of the phenomenon have been researched with a view to providing solutions to myriad of ills attributed to it. For any meaningful intervention, however, assessment of development to ascertain sprawl is essential. Despite this, its quantification and monitoring in environment with paucity of data remains a

Clays are negatively charged nanoplatelets with a layered silicate structure. It has been observed from small angle X-ray scattering measurements, and coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations (CG-MD) that clay nanoplatelets are able to form stacks, known as tactoids, in the presence of divalent or multivalent counterions [8, 5]. In this thesis, the interactions between clay nanoplatelets and

The aim of this essay is to investigate if the Judas figure in the Gospel of Mark was a betrayer or a servant, who only wanted to fulfill Jesus’ will, by discussing the significance of παραδίδωμι in these texts, and in relation to Isaiah 53. The question is: in what way is the Judas figure in the Gospel of Mark shaped by the verb παραδίδωμι in Isaiah 53:6 and 53:12 according to LXX (the Septuagint

Studien syftar till att undersöka musiklärares förhållningssätt till extra anpassningar och vilka metoder de använder för att göra undervisningen begriplig för alla elever. Arbetet syftar även till att ta reda på om de intervjuade musiklärarna i studien upplever att de får den hjälp de behöver i sitt arbete med extra anpassningar och särskilt stöd. Genom en enkätundersökning ges även en inblick i The study aims to investigate the approach of music teachers to extra adaptations and the methods they use to make teaching understandable for all students. The work also aims to find out if the interviewed music teachers in the study feel that they receive the help they need in their work with extra adaptations and special support. A survey also provides an insight into how students perceive musi

En rad omfattande företagsskandaler har skett under de senaste åren. Är den klassiska synen på att enbart motivera högre befattningshavare genom incitamentsprogram för att maximera aktieägarvärdet förlegat? Kan detta tankesätt tillhöra det förflutna, där framtiden innehåller incitamentsprogram som inkluderar företagets alla intressenter. Syftet med studien är att förstå hur börsnoterade företags

Corrugated galvanized iron (CGI), or corrugated sheet metal, is a lightweight roofing material that was invented in the early 1800s. The corrugation gives the steel an increased flexural strength in its installed direction and thus increases the amount of load the CGI-plate is able to carry and the span it can be effective at. Thanks to its light weight, corrugated sheet is one of the most commonl
