This thesis covers specification and development of a distributed measurement system intended for CAN bus. It was completed at Scania CV, Södertälje in collaboration with Lund University. The goal of the thesis is to specifiy and develop a distributed measurement system that helps Scania with acquisition of functional and electrical data. Several topics are adressed such as filtering, at what spee
Hållbarhetsfrågor tar stort fokus i dagens debatter, personliga livsstilar samt företagens marknadsföring och affärsmodeller. Miljöarbetet i byggsektorn drivs framåt via bland annat miljöcertifieringssystem. Framförallt nybyggnation präglas idag starkt av skärpta miljölagkrav och miljöcertifieringar tillämpas här i stor utsträckning. Vikten av miljöarbetet med redan befintliga byggnader hamnar oftThe subject sustainability is taking a great amount of spotlight in most debates of modern society. This time the focus is on business models and marketing as well as the influences that sustainable certification systems have within the building sector. Especially when constructing new buildings, the new and stricter sustainability laws and certifications are setting the foundations of a new era.
This dissertation has examined Fjällrävens backpack Kånken, and its interconnection with the individual's social identity, as well as the group affiliation to the style culture indie. The study has also treated Kånken and its expression of fashion in connection with the style culture indie. In the answering of questions we have conducted an ethnographic study, with a total of 8 people being in
Due to society’s modernization and climate changes, transboundary crisis is becoming more severe. This means that communication in many cases needs to be virtual, especially via radio, instead of face-to-face. At the same time, there is a willingness to co-locate in a greater extent. The aim of this paper is to increase the understanding of how the means of communication affects the outcome of a
Global risks from disasters are increasing, and with more urbanization more resources are now spent on planning and preventive actions. This has led to increased interest in working with the concept of resilience. The concept has now been adopted by different organizations to launch initiatives and campaigns to increase the resilience of cities and societies. The purpose of this thesis was to acco
3D printing, or additive manufacturing, is a technology that uses a digital model to print a three-dimensional object, layer by layer. Today, it is widely used in many different fields and provides a manufacturing method with advantages such as precision and the ability to print complex shapes from many different materials. 3D printed prostheses have recently gained a lot of interest thanks to the
While prior studies have largely addressed corporate social responsibility (CSR) at a macro or institutional level, its importance at the micro or individual level is to date underexplored, especially in the context of developing economies. Further, it is not clear from the studies in the extant literature how the role of females is more important in the context of environmental management as comp
Current sustainability assessment (SA) tools to help deal with contaminated groundwater sites are inherently subjective and hardly applied. One reason may be lack of proper tools for addressing contaminant spread which are basically objective. To fill this gap, there is a need for contaminant transport models that provide site managers with needed room for applying their judgments and consideratio
Historical slag dumps are of increasing interest due to economic, environmental or archaeological reasons. Geophysical investigations can help accessing the potential reuse of slag material to recover metallic raw material or for the estimation of the hazard potential of the buried slag material due to dissolution occurrence.In our study, we have investigated various slag material in the laborator
Building more energy-efficient and sustainable urban areas that will both mitigate the effects of climate change and anticipate living conditions in future climate scenarios requires the development of new tools and methods that can help urban planners, architects and communities achieve this goal. In the current study, we designed a workflow that links different methodologies developed separately
This dissertation investigates how history is produced, what roles it plays, and what forms it takes in four Swedish football clubs – AIK, Djurgårdens IF, Helsingborgs IF and Malmö FF. The overreaching aim is to describe and analyse how history is produced and performed in football clubs, and the implications this development has for football and for the understanding of history. The focus is on h
For many polar organic micropollutants, biotransformation by activated sludge microorganisms is a major removal process during wastewater treatment. However, our current understanding of how wastewater treatment operations influence microbial communities and their micropollutant biotransformation potential is limited, leaving major parts of observed variability in biotransformation rates across tr
In the future, buildings need to be energy resilient to tackle the energy crisis. This article introduces a concept for classifying the energy resilience of buildings in extreme cold and warm weather in Finland during blackouts. It presents a techno-economic comparison between an old and a new single-family building integrated with photovoltaic (PV) systems and batteries, analyzing their resilienc
The aim of this thesis is to explore the job satisfaction of librarians and try to nuance stereotypes, which the public has and which still exist in massmedia concerning librarians and their work. The study is qualitative and based mainly on semistructured interviews with ten libraries born between 1937s and 1973s of which eight are women and two men. Furthermore, I have divided them into two grou
The dogroses (Rosa Sect. Caninae) are characterized by a unique meiosis - the canina meiosis - that results in restricted recombination. In the present study, we investigate population differentiation and morphometric diversity within six taxa, of Nordic dogroses, with the help of automated image analysis of leaflet shape and manually-measured reproductive characters. The total morphometric divers
Popular Abstract in Swedish Syftet med avhandlingsarbetet har varit att ge ökad kunskap om (1) psykosocial ohälsa i befolkningen, (2) prevalens och orsaker till psykosocial ohälsa bland patienter i primärvården, och (3) bland långtidssjukskrivna. Datainsamlingen inkluderar resultatet av en befolkningsenkät riktad till ett slumpmässigt urval av 13 000 personer (20-84 år), ett frågeformulär till samThe aim of the thesis is to contribute to knowledge of (1) psychosocial illness in the population, (2) the prevalence and nature of psychosocial illness encountered in primary health care, and (3) encountered among persons with long-term illness. The data collected include the results of a questionnaire given to a population-based sample of 13 000 persons (20-84 years), a questionnaire given to ge
A major limitation to clinical stem cell-mediated gene therapy protocols is the low levels of engraftment by transduced progenitors. We report that CXCR4 overexpression on human CD34(+) progenitors using a lentiviral gene transfer technique helped navigate these cells to the murine bone marrow and spleen in response to stromal-derived factor 1 (SDF-1) signaling. Cells overexpressing CXCR4 exhibite
It is assumed that the Id helix-loop-helix (HLH) proteins act by associating with ubiquitously expressed basic HLH (bHLH) transcription factors, such as E47 and E2-2, which prevents these factors from forming functional hetero- or homodimeric DNA binding complexes. Several tissue-specific bHLH proteins, including HASH-1, dHAND, and HES-1, are important for development of the nervous system. Neurob
Introduction For the future conservation, restoration and daily maintenance the need for developing non-destructive and in-situ investigations is vital. At Lund University in Sweden an interdisciplinary research project is being held aiming at, with the help of a mobile system of remote fluorescence lidar, survey and study the facades of historic monuments, and to develop the method and its applic
Modern doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) wind turbines can ride through a symmetrical fault in the network by using a chopper protection on the direct current (DC) link without triggering a crowbar protection. A novel method to model the DC link system of such wind turbines as an equivalent resistance during symmetrical faults is presented in this paper. The method allows looking at the DFIG w
