Nyhamnen, som en gång definierades av industri, färjor och hamnfunktioner planeras bli Malmös nya stadsdel med tusentals bostäder, arbetsplatser och nya stadsfunktioner. Idag står platsen tom, karaktäriserad av stora asfalterade ytor, åtskilda av staket. Platsen befinner sig i väntan, på tröskeln mellan då och sen. I närheten av Nyhamnen finns två materialbanker. En stor del av det här arbetet hNyhamnen, once defined by industrial activities, ferry terminals and harbour functions, will in the future become Malmö’s new neighborhood with thousands of new housings, workplaces and city functions. Today the area stands empty, defined by large vacant spaces closed of by fences. The area awaits in silence, standing on the threshold between past and future. In close proximity to the site, ther

This master thesis aims to improve the physical design of smart ear tags for animals. The focus was to minimize the risk of tags falling off or causing harm, while considering environmental and animal welfare aspects. The project followed the methodology of Ulrich & Eppinger’s product development process, which included stages such as planning, concept development, and testing. Data collectio

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: •

The main problem encountered in telecommunications industry is the incomprehensible pricing models and lock-­‐in methods that operators of the market have established towards their customers. It is barely impossible for a consumer of mobile phone services to know how much the next bill from the supplier will cost.

Det finns idag cirka 160 miljoner byggnader inom EU och energianvändningen hos dessa står för cirka 40 % av unionens totala energiförbrukning. Detta gör byggnadsbeståndet inom EU till den enskilt största källan till koldioxidutsläpp. Dagens krav om energieffektivitet på moderna byggnader såsom bostadshus, kontorshus och andra lokaler är ett steg i ledet om att minska energianvändningen inom sa

When building new constructions under ground level in cities it is important that the foundations of neighboring buildings are undisturbed. The regulations regarding soil deformations are hence very strict and conventional methods of predicting soil behavior is often too crude. Finite element calculations are therefore becoming an increasingly important tool used to predict soil behavior in and ar

Abstract The thesis is aimed to conduct research on rule of law as instrument for national development and to investigate the relationship between rule of law and development in rights based approach. Rule of law in relation to development will be examined to what extent it functions in practical development course of action. The study also aims at highlighting rule of law and spark light how it c

Uppsatsen behandlar konkurrerande, arbetshindrande och förtroendeskadliga bisysslor. Syftet är att klargöra varför dessa bisysslor anses som otillåtna. Frågeställningen har utvecklats från syftet och problematiserar innebörden av de tre otillåtna bisysslorna. Rättsdogmatisk metod ligger till grund för tolkningen och systematisering av gällande rätt. Utöver detta har Stockholms- och Lunds universit

Institutionen för Byggnadsteknik II vid Lunds Tekniska Högskola har under en tid haft i uppgift att prova takelement. Avsikten har varit att utvärdera takelementets last- och deformationssamband vid jämnt fördelad last. Härmed kan takelementets egenskaper klarläggas. Syftet med detta examensarbete har varit att i samband med nämnda provningar jämföra takelementets uppförande i praktiken med en hel

The report includes descriptions of methods and programes that can be used to visualise buildings on a PC. These technics have been applied on a 3D-model of one of Volvos factories in Olofström, Sweden. (Swedish)

The purpose of this report is to analyse principles for calculations of deflections the serviceability state. Methods made in the following three codes have been considered: the Swedish BKR 99, the European Eurocode 2 and the American ACI Building Code and Requirements of Reinforced Concrete. Deflections for short term as weil as for long term loading have been investigated. The analyse has been p

A progressive collapse implies a structural failure initiated by a local damage which subsequently develops, as a chain reaction, into a failure of either the entire structural system, or only a part of it. The collapse of the Ronan Point building in London 1968 prompted numerous efforts to develop structural design criteria to prevent progressive collapse. Improved design procedures with the inte
