Återbruka mera vitvaror! En undersökning av det som borde vara självklart enligt avfallshierarkin De resurser som finns på jorden utarmas mer och mer för varje dag som går. Hur vårt ekonomiska system är uppbyggt med att utarma resurser, producera, och till sist slänga våra produkter är i längden ohållbart. Det leder till stora mängder avfall och resursbrister som kan leda till att ekonomin på sik
FacePrint is a project developed by a consortium that aims to efficiently provide facial prostheses, mainly nose and ear prostheses. One of the companies involved in the project is Purple Scout. Their task was to develop the interface that the clinicians will use to design the prosthesis. The idea is that patient and doctor sit together and decide what the prosthesis should look like using the int
Sveriges kommuner ställer idag allt högre krav under upphandling av teknisk utrustning till äldreomsorgen. Inom särskilt boende handlar dessa krav exempelvis om att vårdtagare alltid ska ha möjlighet att larma och positioneras, samt nya krav om falldetektion och pulsmätning. Tunstalls mobila trygghetslarm uppfyller idag de två första kraven och ämnar att inom en snar framtid även implementera fallDuring public procurement for elderly care in Sweden, higher demands on technological equipment are being introduced. Besides the regular demands for residential care that the elderly always should be able to alarm the caretakers and to always be positioned within the housing, new demands include fall detection and pulse measurement. Tunstall's mobile personal alarm meets the regular demands a
Integrated product development combines multiple disciplines (mechanics, engineering, informatics) in the development of complex products in corporations. In today’s economy, the development environment could be considered volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous, which prompts for experimentation, incremental product design and continuous engagement with the customer or end user. Literature sug
Due to global demand for alternative energy sources, the industry of hydropower is continuing to thrive. Not only are there already thousands of dams worldwide, but many more developments are planned for the future. This has increased attention towards the topic of reservoirs, and more specifically their potential to act as a source of greenhouse gases. Despite tropical locations being known as ‘h
Since the late 1990’s the child’s perspective in cases where children have experienced domestic violence has gained more attention in both research and Swedish law. Despite this attention, the child’s perspective might still get overlooked by social services in cases where domestic violence is present. Therefore, this study wishes to explore how social workers within family law and family safety u
Studien syftade i första hand till att utföra en uppföljningsstudie av etableringen av lokaler i bottenvåningar i flerbostadshus på Liljeholmskajen i Stockholm. Inventeringen hade sitt ursprung i detaljplanebestämmelser och exploateringsavtal för fastigheterna och i huvudsak reglerades lokalerna i bottenvåningar i detaljplanerna med användningsbestämmelser som innehöll “Bottenvåningar ska utformasThe purpose of this study is mainly to do a follow-up investigation considering the establishment of non-housing premises on the ground floor in dwelling houses at Liljeholmskajen in Stockholm. In detailed development plans, the usage of the ground can be regulated with usage provisions and sometimes a developer must build something particular that the city’s planners decide, without other options

Tidtabeller är nyckeln för att utnyttja den tillgängliga kapaciteten på järnvägen på ett optimalt sätt. I Sverige är det Trafikverket som tilldelar kapacitet genom att årligen ta fram en tågplan som specificerar alla tåg som ska framföras det kommande året. Att ta fram tågplanen är en komplex uppgift som försvåras av infrastrukturens begränsningar och att alla aktörer är beroende av varandra. När Timetables are the key to utilizing the capacity on the railway in an optimal way. In Sweden, the Swedish Transport Administration, Trafikverket, makes the allocation of capacity. It is done by preparing an annual timetable specifying all trains that will run the following year. Creating the annual timetable is a complex task made difficult by limitations in the infrastructure and because all acto
Kinas digitala utveckling har avancerat statens möjligheter att övervaka och kontrollera sina medborgare. Därtill är politisk censur ett medel för staten att censurera provokativt eller regimkritiskt innehåll. Kulturutövare inom musik löper stor risk att begränsas i sitt konstnärliga uttryck till följd av censur. För att upprätthålla sitt levnadssätt tvingas vederbörande till anpassning. Fallstudi

Abstract The idea of the spread of life through the galaxy is, in most minds, considered science fiction. Yet, scientists argue that most galaxies have had more than enough time for civilisation development and space travel. In this thesis I simulate how civilisations can spread through the galaxy via close encountering stars, assuming they travel at sub-relativistic speeds. A defined region arou
Noting a need for a closer understanding of the discrepancy between the actions that sustainable smartphone applications encourage and the actions that the users perform, this thesis explores the implications for sustainable consumption practices. This thesis takes a sociological approach to markets, focusing on three key concepts (market devices, socio-technical scripts, qualification) to answer
This report summarizes the methodology, development and results of a master thesis regarding the design of an adaptable acoustic panel. When a room gets acoustic treatment it’s usually fitted with one activity in mind, such as a conference room or an office space. Multipurpose rooms tend to perform good for a few set of situations and underperform for the vast majority. For example, in a classroom

With increasing concerns about environmental impacts of the food that is consumed, so is also the concern about packaging materials. This also comprises the packaging that is currently used to pack infant formula (IF), very often containing aluminum as the barrier material. IF is a very sensitive product that demands for the highest barriers to protect it from lipid oxidation. This implies that th
