To increase productivity in the rail industry, the Swedish Transport Administration (Trafikverket) has decided to increase the percentage of projects procured as turnkey projects. Two recent projects, a railway switch exchange and a track replacement has been contracted as turnkey projects and the purpose of this project is to conduct an experience feedback of them. The goal is to find and enlight
It is relatively easy to know the day to day traffic flow on a highway without taking into account on which lane the cars are driving on. It is more difficult to understand how traffic over time evolves while looking at the lanes, or more specifically, by looking at traffic volume on the specific lanes on a highway, can we have a good guess for where the vehicles should be on a different lane of t
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has emerged to cover the company’s responsibility in their participation in solving social problems. Research has shown that CSR planning and implementation vary significantly between developed and developing countries. Previous literature on CSR were mainly dominated by Western nuances, and they overlooked the implication of socio-cultural aspects in the deve
Vid alla rättsliga förfaranden som rör barn ska principen om barnets bästa beaktas. Principen är väl omdiskuterad och det finns ingen universell fastslagen definition. Internationella adoptioner är en av processerna som ska utgå från principen. Detta stadgas i såväl nationell lagstiftning som internationella konventioner. Rådande diskurs om internationella adoptioner har under de senaste decennierIn every legal process regarding children, the principle of best interests of the child must be considered. The principle is well discussed and does not have a universal determined definition. Intercountry adoption is one of the proceedings that must consider the principle. This is stipulated in both national and international law. During the last decades, the prevailing view on intercountry adopt
This project documentation presents an overview of the design process of the master thesis of Elisabeth Langer and Lisa Laugs at Lund University, School of Industrial Design. The topic of the master thesis was rainwater harvesting, which was first explored through extensive research and analysis. This topic is highly relevant as several aspects such as population growth, urbanisation, and climate
Papperssugrör kan förhoppningsvis ersätta dagens plastsugrör på mindre dryckesförpackningar, för att minska engångsanvändningen av plast över hela världen. Tetra Pak producerar sina egna papperssugrör i Lund, och undersöker möjligheten att övervaka produktionen med hjälp av bilder på de producerade sugrören. I detta arbete ligger fokus på styrkan hos tippen på sugröret, och vilken kraft som behövsContinuous production control is important for the production using Tetra Pak equipment, as problems that are found early in the chain of production can minimize the need for waste greatly. In production of paper straws, a possible production control could be to photograph straws during production, analyse these and predict how good the straw is, using the image. If the predicted performance of th
I svensk rätt är barn, precis som vuxna, ett rättssubjekt och därmed bärare av rättigheter och skyldigheter vilket i sin tur innebär att även barn är partsbehöriga. Eftersom barn kan vara partsbehöriga kan de även ha talerätt för det fall tvisten hänför sig till en rättighet eller skyldighet kopplat till barnet. Det går dock snabbt att konstatera att barn saknar samtliga delar av talerätten i mål Children, just like adults, are legal entities according to Swedish law and legislation. This implies they have both rights and obligations to face, which in addition means they also have party capacity. Since children have party capacity they can also have the right to litigate in cases where the legal dispute is connected to rights or obligations of the child. It is easy to realize that children
This report aims to give insights to the oat processing industry and the effects of kilning and storage. Temperature and relative humidity used during kilning of oat kernels was shown to have a large effect on protein solubility and lipase inactivation. Steaming with saturated steam at 90 ℃ was found to inactivate all lipases, but still leave a relatively high protein solubility. An industrial kil
Framtidens kliniska prövningar - Konceptualisering av ett decentraliserat digitalt system Tolv år och 1336 miljoner dollar, det är vad som krävs i genomsnitt för att framställa ett nytt läkemedel. För att kunna erbjuda alla människor så bra behandling som möjligt skulle det skulle därför vara fördelaktigt om processen kunde effektiviseras och ett viktigt steg i att få en ny behandling godkänd är
Terapeutens anknytningsmönster, ett nytt fokus som visat vikten av att förstå hur aktuell terapeutegenskap påverkar i den terapeutiska situationen. Studiens syfte var att undersöka hur erfarna psykodynamiskt inriktade psykoterapeuter såg på sitt eget anknytningsmönster och dess betydelse i psykoterapier. Studien ämnade också undersöka på vilket sätt psykoterapeuternas anknytningsmönster spelade enThe therapist's attachment pattern, a new focus that has shown the importance of understanding how current therapist characteristics affect the therapeutic situation. The purpose of the study was to investigate how experienced psychodynamically oriented psychotherapists viewed their own attachment pattern and its importance in psychotherapies. The study also aimed to investigate how the psycho
En slitsmur är en geokonstruktion som utförs genom att paneler platsgjuts med marken som form. Panelerna bildar tillsammans en samverkande vägg. Tekniken är vanlig utomlands men fortfarande relativt ovanlig i Sverige. Behovet, och därmed intresset, av slitsmurar i Sverige växer dock i takt med förtätningen av städer och infrastrukturprojekt som kräver djup schaktning och anläggning. Kraven på låg A diaphragm wall is a retaining wall which is produced as a cast in-situ concrete wall. The ground itself acts as formwork. The technique is widely used internationally but it is comparably still a rare technique in Sweden. However, the need, and therefore interest in Sweden for diaphragm walls is growing as the number of inner city infrastructure projects requiring deep excavations increases. The
Det finns ett ökat intresse för att förstå forskningens bidrag och roll i omställningen till ett mer hållbart samhälle. Hursomhelst karaktäriseras forskningsutvärdering och management av osäkerheter och en rad svårigheter, såsom balansen mellan långsiktiga och kortsiktiga projekt, inkrementella och disruptiva projekt m.m. Denna studie undersöker tvärsnittet mellan hållbarhetsbedömningar och forsknThis study explores the cross-section between sustainability assessment and research reviewing- and evaluation at an early development stage of emerging technical solutions´ by conducting a case study on Sustainability Readiness Level, a tool used in the application and reviewing process of the Strategic Innovation Programme (SIP) BioInnovation. The aim of the thesis is to gain a deeper understand
Eftersom människor tillbringar större delen av sin dagliga tid inomhus idag, ökar intresset och användningen av system för inomhusmiljöer, så kallade inomhuspositioneringssystem (IPS). De senaste åren har det därför tillkommit nya dataformat för inomhuskartläggning och kommersiella IPS och har ännu inte studerats ingående. Därför ger rapporten en översikt över huvuddelarna i IPS: dataformat för inAs people spend most of their daily time indoor today, the interest and usage of systems for indoor environments, called indoor positioning systems (IPSs), are increasing. The last couple of years, new data formats for indoor mapping and commercial IPSs have been released and they are not yet extensively studied. Hence, this thesis provides an overview of the main parts of IPSs: data formats for i
Från och med 2022 ställer Boverket krav på att klimatpåverkan från nyproducerade byggnader ska redovisas uttryckt i kg koldioxidekvivalenter per kvadratmeter bruttoarea. Den s.k klimatdeklarationen utgår från livscyklisk metodik där produktskedet och byggproduktionsskedet omfattas. I klimatdeklarationen ska även periodiskt underhåll och livslängder för klimatskalet noteras. Många branschaktörer arAs of 2022, the Swedish National Board of Housing, Building and Planning (Boverket) is requiring that the climate impact from newly developed buildings has to be calculated and reported in terms of kg carbon dioxide equivalents per m² of gross area. The so-called climate declaration is based on life-cycle methodology and covers the product stage and the construction process stage. Periodic mainten
Den här texten beskriver processen under vilken jag studerat mig själv som improvisationsmusiker i formatet solopiano. Jag undersöker hur jag skapar bästa möjliga förutsättningar för att känna mig både fri, inspirerad och motiverad, när jag inte får någon musikalisk information från andra medmusiker. Med hjälp av etablerandet av strikta ramar och begränsningar av olika karaktär har jag genomfört iThis paper describes the process during which I’ve studied myself as an improvisational musician in the format of solo piano. I examine in what way I can create the best possible conditions for myself to feel both free, inspired and motivated, when I’m not receiving any musical information from fellow musicians. With the help of different kinds of strict frames and limitations, I have performed im
Problem statement This master thesis was initiated since today, when developing a new mobile phone at Sony Ericsson, it is difficult to get a perception of the ergonomics and the tactility of the keyboard before the first design prototype (DP0 and DP1) is built. The SLA block model used today is completely solid and consequently a secured decision of the final design can not be made in this phase
The project task is to install an industrial robot and to construct peripheral parts to an automation cell for a masspectrometer (MS) on Protein Technology. The MS is used to determine the concentration of different masses in a sample. The mass spectrum can be used for disease detection by determine which proteins that healthy people got and compare it to diseased people. The finished MS cell cons
The steel company SSAB in Borlänge has five plate heat exchangers that they use to cool the process water. The water is used to cool the steel after hot rolling. The exchangers need to be cleaned sometimes because of fouling, that reduces the cooling efficiency. This results in higher energy use and higher costs in the end. The goal of this paper is to create a model of a plate heat exchanger to m
The study's purpose was to explore and analyze how offensive treatment was documented in primary school based notifications and investigations where offensive treatment has occurred. In connection with this, I hoped to get an understanding how the documentation was communicated to and implemented, and how teachers assess the work of offensive treatment. The study was based on a feasibility stu
