År 2008 påbörjades en förstudie för att införa nya växlar samt växeldriv i Trafikverkets standardsortiment i samband med Innotrack-projektet. År 2009 vann företaget Vossloh upphandlingen med omläggningsanordningen Easyswitch 1.0. Drivet skulle installeras tillsammans med 60E växlar. År 2015 stoppades utrullningen av Easyswitch 1.0 på en bestämd tid på grund av driftstörningar, planen var att återiIn 2008, a feasibility study was started to introduce new railway switches and point machines in the Swedish Transport Administration's standard assortment in connection with the Innotrack project. In 2009, the company Vossloh won the contract with the point machine Easyswitch 1.0. The point machine would be installed together with 60E-switches. In 2015, the rollout of Easyswitch 1.0 was halte

Sökandet efter nedslagskratrar har fått mycket uppmärksamhet sedan 1960 talet och flertalet kratrar över hela jorden har bekräftats sedan dess. Likaså har många strukturer i berggrunden utan känt ursprung uppmärksammats och föreslagits som möjliga nedslagsstrukturer. I Sverige finns ungefär 40 föreslagna potentiella nedslagskratrar. I denna kandidatuppsats studeras elva av dessa; Björkö, Vara, UndThe search of impact craters have recieved a lot of attention since the 1960s and many impact craters on various places on Earth have been recogniced since then. Additionally, many structures in the bedrock without known origin have also recieved attention and been suggested as possible impact structures. In Sweden there are approximately 40 suggested potential impact craters. In this bachelor the

Financial inclusion, defined as access and usage of formal financial services, has several positive micro and macro-level socio-economic implications. Due to decades of vigorous policies aiming at lowering barriers to formal finance, 80 percent of Indians now own a bank account. However, there is a significant gap between account take up and usage. One reason for low usage rate is persistent infor

Syftet med vår uppsats är att beskriva och redogöra för hur kvinnliga studenter i Lund upplever sina konsumtionsvanor i relation till den marknadsföring som bedrivs på Instagram år 2019, samt vad som anses vara god smak på Instagram bland urvalsgruppen. Vår uppsats lyfter fram tidigare forskning, tar upp Pierre Bourdieus teori om kapital, smak, habitus, fält och Colin Campbells tankar om hedonisti

Vad som avgör arters heterogena fördelning över landskapet är något som länge har fascinerat och intresserat biologer. Vad som påverkar biodiversiteten är däremot komplext, med en rad olika faktorer som inverkar tillsammans. För att studera biodiversiteten krävs någon form av mått och det vanligaste är att beräkna artrikedomen. I den här rapporten används data över artrikedomen av kärlväxter i Skå

The objective of this thesis is to better understand what factors produce an enabling environment for land grabs after a disaster. Looking at eight selected case studies, this research tests the role of land tenure security, private capital investment and global financial institutions, and gender. The factors are tested with a mixed methodology: proxy indicators are analyzed quantitatively, and ca

III-V semiconductor nanowires (NWs) display outstanding potential for many technological applications, but their implementation into devices is restricted due to high material and fabrication costs. Common techniques for NW synthesis rely on single crystalline substrates, which are single-use and have large costs associated to them. In this project a method for substrate reuse was designed and in

Ditt dricksvatten kan innehålla hälsofarligt kadmium från berggrunden Har du dricksvatten från egen brunn hemma? Eller har du sommarstuga på landet med egen brunn? Då bör du se till att regelbundet provta ditt vatten! Grundvatten är generellt renare än ytvatten, och i vissa fall är det så rent att det kan drickas utan föregående behandling. Men grundvatten kan också innehålla ämnen som är skadliCadmium poses a threat to both human health and the environment. In this study, cadmium levels in groundwater in the area around Rörums Fur in the municipality of Simrishamn, Sweden, and their potential sources were mapped, with the aim of getting an overview of the cadmium situation in the area. For this purpose, groundwater analysis data from various sources were compiled and compared to informa

Early-life health shocks can have very serious long-term consequences for those exposed to them, a fact which must be considered when parents make decisions with regards to allocating resources across their children. Here, the 1980 famine in Karamoja, Uganda is used as a natural experiment in which to test whether parental investment responses reinforce or compensate the impacts of early-life shoc

The largest use of fossil petroleum is the production of fuels. Hence, finding sustainable alter-natives is an important step to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases. One such alternative is to produce fuel from biomass, such as waste products from agriculture and the forest indus-try. In Sweden, the forest industry is an important part of the economy. The pulp mills pro-duce an excessive amou

Studien undersöker huruvida långsiktig underprestation förekommer för 1770 börsintroduktioner på NYSE och NASDAQ 5 år efter börsnotering mellan 2000-2014 och om nyemissioner gjorda av samma företag har en negativ påverkan på aktieutvecklingen. Av resultatet framgår att ingen allmän underprestation råder men att de bolag som genomfört en nyemission under mätperioden underpresterat med 6,65% mot S&a

Many insects are able to detect, isolate and track small targets that move quickly against a dynamic background. This ability is enabled by a group of neurons called small target motion detectors (STMD). These neurons, among other properties, have a type of short term memory called response facilitation. This type of facilitation is a phenomenon in which continued visual stimuli lead to an enhance

I samband med lantmäteriförrättningar där ersättningsbeloppet behöver framtas med hjälp av de värderingsmedel som Lantmäteriet eller utsedd värderingsman har att tillgå är det ytterst viktigt att ingångsparametrarna är korrekta. Då fastighetsregleringar där vinstfördelning blir aktuellt och där genomsnittsvärdeprincipen aktualiseras är det råtomtmarksvärdet som eftersöks. I värderingsutlåtandet reDuring land surveying operations, the amount of compensation needs to be calculated using the valuation means taken by the land surveyor or appointed appraiser. For this reason, it is important that input parameters are correct. As profit distribution is a pressing concern in relation to real estate regulations, raw land value is sought after. In this case, the responsible land surveyor reports fo

The main purpose of this study was to investigate if guanxi increases or decreases international management control mechanisms for foreign MNCs in China. The authors interviewed managers at three Scandinavian MNCs with subsidiaries in China for a comparative case study. Based on previous literature, guanxi was categorized into personal guanxi and organizational guanxi, as well as family guanxi, bu

One of my main interests as an architect has been to reflect upon the sense of place and memory, both from the context where I am and from my own personal experiences. As a university-city, Lund (Sweden) is one of the most important nodes of the Oresund Region. Here, tradition and innovation coexist, not only from the varied academic activities but also from how these dynamics have influenced the

Three-dimensional food printing is an emerging application within the realm of 3D printing with the potential of transforming the foods we consume. The technique harbors incredible potential for improving the eating experience of people suffering from dysphagia, an ailment which causes discomfort at the time of swallowing. Patients suffering from this condition have special diets consisting of tex

The transport of terrestrial carbon through riverine systems to coastal water may have a negative impact on the oxygen concentration. However, information on seasonal variation and the impact of composition of the catchment area on bioavailability is lacking. This paper covers the January and April samplings, which are a part of a yearlong study. To examine the seasonal variation in composition an

As form of effort to mitigate the increase of pollution level that caused by human activity, Ängen wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) will be built in Lidköping as part of the European LIFE project (LIWE LIFE). Ängen WWTP will be operated based on enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) technology. This treatment plant is projected to be cost effective and resource efficient, therefore this t
