This Master Thesis was performed for Sandvik SRP in collaboration with the Institution for Industrial Production Faculty of Engineering at Lund University. Tool wear is one of the main cost drivers in the mining industry. By being able to characterize what kind of rock involved, you can choose a more beneficial tool material to minimize the wear and thereby reduce the maintenance costs. The purpos
The modernisation of Swedish households during the twentieth century prompted a considerable productivity growth in household production. This paper examines the association between this process and the allocation of female time in Swedish urban households during the period 1920-1990. Estimates presented in the paper suggest a minimum potential time reduction for a fixed volume of routine househol

Chapter 1 defines the aim of the project and gives a general orientation about ground heat extractors. In chapter 2 physical processes that could be expected to be involved in the heat transport around a ground heat exchanger are discussed. It is shown from a literature study what amount of moisture transport due to thermal gradients there could be expected in a ground heat exchanger. The conclusi
Information security is vital to organizations. This is particularly evident in healthcare where patient information is regarded as very sensitive. The patient is the most important actor in healthcare, and therefore patient information must be kept secure from breaches. At the same time, the right information must be available at the right time when needed in order to provide patients with the be

Traditional publishers of journalistic material have found a new channel through which they can reach the readers namely the Internet. The material is often the same in the online version as in the paper based version, but not enough thought has been paid to how the different media influence the way of reading. The Internet as medium imposes new criteria as to how the content should be published.
In the 1960:s the Swedish government approved a decision that led to the construction of about one million households during the years 1965-1975. Today these buildings are both deprived and suffer from high energy consumption. To address these problems individually is very expensive. If it instead is done simultaneously substantial savings can be made. The company AB Helsingborgshem owns and manag

Hälften av Afrikas befolkning - mer än 300 miljoner människor - hotas idag av markförstöring och ökenspridning. De flesta forskare är överens om att markförstöring orsakas av mänsklig aktivitet som avsiktligt eller oavsiktligt rubbar balansen i redan känsliga ekosystem. Namibia det torraste landet söder om Sahara, vilket följaktligen gjort att landet är mycket utsatt för ökenspridning och markförsHalf of Africa’s population - more than 300 million people - is threatened by land degradation. In general, land degradation is initiated when people intentionally or accidentally disturb the balance in a already fragile ecosystem. Poor management practices such as overgrazing, puts pressure on land already close to exceed the limits of sustainability. Besides suffering from overgrazing issues, Na

Den tekniska utvecklingen och den ökade användningen av sociala medier har lett till nya former av bland annat lärande och nyhetsförmedling, men även nya former av övergrepp. Under senare år har sexuella övergrepp gentemot barn online blivit allt vanligare. Detta sker genom att äldre män kontaktar barn via appar med chattfunktioner och har lett till att hemsidor och konton på sociala medier skapatTechnological developments and the expanded use of social media has led to, inter alia, new forms of learning and news coverage, as well as new forms of abuse. Online sexual abuse of children has become more common in recent years. This occurs through the usage of chat apps and has led to the creation of websites and social media accounts aimed at countering this by singling out individuals for be
In this thesis, theoretical models are applied to study some aspects of intrinsically disordered proteins, i.e. proteins that partly or entirely lack a stable native structure. In particular, focus is on peptide binding and aggregation. Knowledge about these mechanisms is important for understanding how proteins interact with each other and how mutations can affect the function and sometimes give
