Today a newly built road has high standards on the bearing capacity; it should withstand the rigors of heavy traffic. To test the roads ability to cope with the oversized strain we use heavy and light weight case, static plate load or YPK (Wide area compaction control) as a control for bearing capacity. The method is used to measure the roads E-module, which is a measurement of the bearing capacit

European Spallation Source (ESS) is a linear particle accelerator planned to be built in Lund, Sweden. There is a need to control the electric field in the cavities in the particle accelerator, according to given specifications of the field. The aim of this thesis is to compare a traditional PI controller to an MPC controller, to see if there is any difference in the performance that can be achiev

This paper explores the intersection of new urban spaces and new modalities of ‘homelessness’ in Japanese cities. We argue that the recent social phenomenon of “net café refugees” (netto kafe nanmin – people who substitute ‘manga cafes’ for their domestic residence) is conditioned by new forms of leisure, information technology, social manners, and the longterm contraction of the Japanese domestic

To guarantee that the products in the IKEA catalogue are available when requested, IKEA needs to plan and secure capacity. IKEA has developed a process called ONE Supplier Capacity Process to solve supplier capacity issues in a more proactive way. The thesis is focused on suppliers’ in the category Frames and Mirrors with frames in Greater China. Purpose The purposes of the thesis are fourfold: •

Despite the positive effects of physical activity in both physical and mental health, the proportion of Swedes who have a poor physical health is increasing. The aim of this research was to create knowledge according to what affects a physically active behavior. We used the motivational theory health action process approach (HAPA) and the goal setting technique SMART to find out if any of their co

Bakgrund: I dagens samhälle ökar psykiska besvär och psykiska diagnoser enormt främst hos unga vuxna mellan 18-29 år. Fler drabbas av psykisk funktionsnedsättning vilket kan leda till att personens vardagliga aktiviteter och balans rubbas. Syftet med litteraturöversikten var att kartlägga om det finns vetenskapligt stöd för arbetsterapeutiska interventioner i vardagliga aktiviteter hos unga vuxna

The importance of structural demands is usually overlooked in the conceptual design phase. Architects commonly conceive the geometry of a structure without much involvement of an engineer or with regards to structural demands. This is in part because a lack of tools available to engineers in this phase. The common paradigm for structural analysis software interface badly with the iterative and cha

Hållbarhet får en allt större plats i den globala debatten, och byggbranschen är en av de aktörer som har störst påverkan på miljön. Byggprocessen ger upphov till stora mängder avfall och branschen har börjat ta sitt ansvar. Fokus har hittills legat på de stora fraktionerna och mycket forskning har presenterats kring återvinning av t.ex. betong och metall som utgör en stor andel av avfallet. KostnSustainability is getting more and more attention in the global debate, and construction is one of the sectors with the biggest impact on the environment. The construction process creates vast amounts of waste every year but the sector has started to take responsibility for the problems it creates. Up until now the focus has been on the big fractions, such as concrete and metals, which make out th

This study examines how three different types of knowledge (political, practical and scientific) are being expressed in Swedish school policy and specifically the process of introducing ratings in fourth grade. Toulmin model of argumentation and content analysis is used to summarize and interpret the governmental reports and the referral responses preceding the proposal. It aims to outline the pro

Kritiken mot yppandeförbudet från advokathåll handlar dels om huruvida yppandeförbudet påverkar försvararens roll, dels obalansen mellan parterna i brottmålsprocessen som yppandeförbudet påstås ge upphov till. Uppsatsens syfte är att utreda om ett yppandeförbud påverkar försvararens roll, likställdheten mellan parterna och om det i sådana fall påverkar rättssäkerheten. Försvararens roll definierasThe critisicm from attorneys against the prohibition against disclosure, is about whether the prohibition affects the role of an attorney and whether the prohibition causes imbalance between the parties in criminal procedings. The purpose of this essay is to investigate if the prohibition affects the role of an attorney, the equality between the parties and whether it affects the legal certainty.

Två horisontella våtmarksfilter (rotzonsanläggningar) i Anderslöv och Häglinge undersöktes med avseende på deras förmåga att rena BOD7, tot-N och tot-P från avloppsvatten från två enskilda avlopp. Båda rotzonsanläggningarna föregicks av andra avloppsreningskonstruktioner i avloppsanläggningarna, i Anderslöv av en trekammarbrunn och markbädd och i Häglinge av en Aquatron® med urinseparering, AquatrTwo sub-surface horizontal flow wetlands (SSHFW) located in Anderslöv and Häglinge, Sweden were examined considering their ability to treat domestic wastewater from BOD7, total nitrogen and total phosphorous. The wastewater was first treated by a sludge well and a sub-surface vertical flow wetland in Anderslöv and an Aquatron® with urine separation, Aquatron® phosphorous trap and a sludge well in

Denna uppsats undersöker, genom en fallstudie i form av kvalitativ innehållsanalys, Sveriges Kvinnolobbys kampanj Reklamera som ett uttryck för en ny typ av medborgerligt engagemang. Den medieteknologiska utvecklingen, i kombination med en demokratisk och politisk utveckling i samhället, har kommit att innebära nya former för det medborgerliga engagemanget. I och med detta har även det demokratisk

Den teknologiska kombinationen mellan den verkliga världen och virtuella element kallas för Augmented Reality (AR). AR-tekniken har funnits i decennier men med de senaste årens framgång inom området, ser framtiden lovande ut. Det finns fortfarande en hel del att undersöka när det kommer till hur man interagerar med AR-miljöer ur ett användarcentrerat perspektiv. Målet med detta projekt var att utfThe technological combination between the real world and virtual elements is called Augmented Reality (AR). The AR technology has been existing for decades, but the advancements the past years have been even more promising. There is still a lot to investigate when it comes to how to interact with AR environments through a user-centered perspective. The goal of this project has been to explore how

It is beneficial for a furniture company like IKEA to objectively and accurately evaluate what makes a mattress comfortable. But what defines comfort? IKEA currently investigates mattress comfort through extensive real-life user testing. Through which, six parameters of comfort have been identified. By measuring these parameters, one can get an idea of how comfortable a particular person will find
