Bluvisions IoT-system har varit huvudfokus under utredningen av om IoT(Internet of Things) är lönsamt att implementera på framtidens Valmetmaskiner. Från början så skulle projektet avgränsas till pressning, kräppning och upprullning men under examensarbetets start fick Valmet svårt att hitta orsaken till varför en ny komponent hade havererat. Havereringen tros ha haft ett samband med höga vibratioBluvision’s IoT-system has been the focus during the investigation if IoT (internet of things) is something that can be implemented on future Valmet machines. From the beginning the bachelor thesis was restricted to press, creping and turn-up. During the initial phase of the bachelor theses start Valmet had problem finding out why a new component had failed. Therefore, it was more valuable for Val

Liten blomma i backen, formad av bondens blod, svett och tårar En bit innan semesterparadiset Smögen, ligger en liten ö med mångårig historia. Här har marken odlats under många hundra år. På sommaren slåttrade man gräset, bar det till höbalar, och korna betade lojt på med utsikt över klipporna och havet. Störningarna var stora på gräsmarkerna, lien skar av växterna och korna betade, för många växWith the gain of productivity in farming the last decades, there has been great loss in species richness. Many plant species that have evolved and adapted alongside to traditional farming and benefiting to the managed land use, are now disappearing in great numbers. Three thirds of Sweden’s endangered plant species are those who thrive in managed grasslands like meadows and grazing areas. The trad

I Sverige har efterlevandeskyddet för sambor varit en omdebatterad fråga under de senaste decennierna. Inte minst aktualiserades frågan till följd av tvisten som uppstod efter författaren Stieg Larssons bortgång. Trots utredningar och medial uppmärksamhet har det emellertid inte skett några förändringar i den svenska rätten. Samtidigt har det i både Danmark och Norge, två grannländer med i övrigt In Sweden there has been a longstanding debate in regards to the legal provisions for surviving cohabitants. The question gained attention in particular after the sudden passing of the famous swedish author, Stieg Larsson, and the following legal dispute. In spite of the public attention and public enquiries no significant changes to the Swedish legislation has been undertaken. In the meanwhile bo

Sidi Bouzid, Tunisia is an inland governorate in Tunisia that has undergone a rapid agricultural and urban development since the Tunisian independence in 1952 from being a rural and largely nomadic region into a hub of irrigated agriculture. In 2010 Mohamed Bouazizi sparked the Tunisian revolution by lighting himself on fire int he city of Sidi Bouzid, with some blaming the inequality and water sc

Ever since the murder of the Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palme in February 1986, many different theories about who the killer could be have been created and discussed. One of the more intensely discussed theories is the “police-conspiracy theory”. In this thesis I investigate how this theory became a kind of public knowledge in the years after the assassination. Using a theoretical framework base

In their work, military personnel will face risks and threats: during deployments in ambiguous high risk mission contexts abroad, but also in peacetime in the Netherlands during training programs and exercises or national support operations. In all these contexts, it is crucial that team members speak up: sharing concerns, asking questions and providing ideas supports effective team decision makin

Heterogena katalysatorer för användning i bränslecellssystem har undersökts baserat på aktiv fas och tillverkningsmetoder för granulat- och monolitkatalysatorer. Katalysatorerna tillverkades genom att använda θ – aluminiumoxid som bärare, dopad med lantan och cerium, där den aktiva fasen bestod av ädelmetall X och nickel i varierande halter. Analys gjordes genom att låta en blandning av vattenångaHeterogeneous catalysts to be used in a pre-reformer for fuel cell systems have been investigated based on active phase composition and catalyst preparation methods for granulate and monolithic catalysts. The catalysts were manufactured using θ – aluminum oxide as carrier, promoted with lanthanum and cerium, with active phases consisting of noble metal X and nickel in various concentrations. Analy

Human trafficking is the world’s third largest organized crime after the illegal trade in arms and drugs. It is a growing problem in our increasingly globalized world and people are daily transported between countries to be exploited for different purposes. Not even Sweden is spared from this cynical business, although we may not hear much about it. The aim of this study was to investigate how Swe

With a worldwide increase in climate-related disasters and the global temperature on the rise, the effects of climate change are already being felt. Among those most at risk are the poor in developing countries, often living in informal settlements or „slums‟. In order to reduce associated risks and strengthen people‟s own coping capacities, there is an urgent need for knowledge about the factors

Freshwater of good quality is important, even necessary, for human society as well as natural ecosystems to function. However, the uneven distribution of freshwater globally together with other problems such as over-population and pollution all contribute to water stress and water scarcity in many countries. These issues are getting worse and worse. A growing number of companies and organizations

This thesis examines and analyses the relationship between the principle of complementarity and the principle of universal jurisdiction. The establishment of the International Criminal Court provides for the first time in history a permanent international criminal institution. One of the most important principles on which the ICC is built upon is the principle of complementarity. The road towards

The international character that surrounds the shipping industry has traditionally meant that rules regarding the public law of the sea or the private maritime law are internationally regulated through regulations, state practice, international conventions or international customary law. Since the 1970s, there has been an increasing concern for both the marine environment and the safety onboard sh

Immunotherapy utilizes the patient’s own immune system for the treatment of cancer. Due to exceptional antigen-presentation capacity Dendritic Cells (DCs) have great potential for cancer immunotherapy. Using direct cellular reprogramming our group has identified a combination of transcription factors, PU.1, IRF8, and BATF3 that reprograms mouse and human fibroblasts and a range of cancer cell line

Study purpose: The maritime shipping industry, particularly the commercial sector, is a significant contributor to carbon emissions and environmental pollution. Various solutions are being proposed to enhance the sector's sustainability, including the adoption of wind propulsion technologies. However, the economic feasibility of these technologies on a large scale remains uncertain. Despite th

WUI-NITY is a computer modelling program for wildfire evacuation simulations. This thesis examines the applicability of WUI-NITY to locations in Sweden. The program was tested at example locations representing the Swedish landscape. The objective of this work was both to examine the application of the model, but also to produce a process by which the model might be applied – highlighting challenge

Till följd av att angrepp mot blåljusverksamhet innefattande polis, ambulans- och räddningspersonal blivit vanligare, utreddes 2016 möjligheterna att införa ett stärkt straffrättsligt skydd mot sabotage mot blåljusverksamhet i BrB. Resultatet blev en ny blåljuslag 2020. I lagens proposition anförde regeringen att kriminaliseringen av blåljussabotage var en nödvändig åtgärd. Trots att det funnits As a result of attacks against blue light operations, including police, ambulance, and rescue personnel becoming increasingly recurrent, the possibility of introducing strengthened criminal protection against blue light sabotage in the Criminal Code was investigated in 2016. The result was a new blue light law in 2020. In the bill, the government stated that the criminalization of blue light sabo

RNA-seq has become a revolutionary tool for genome-wide gene expression analysis, opening new possibilities for research. This study focuses on using RNA-seq data for variant calling at Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms in a non-model organism, the bank vole. Variant calling from RNA-seq can for example be used for Allele-Specific Expression (ASE) analysis which sheds light on the impact of genetic

Uppsatsen behandlar frågan om hur nödvärnsrätten tillämpas mot flera angri-pare, särskilt när dessa agerar i medgärningsmannaskap. Brottsbalkens 24 kapitel stadgar rätten till självförsvar vid brottsliga angrepp på person eller egendom, förutsatt att agerandet inte är uppenbart oförsvarligt. Eftersom för-arbetena till brottsbalken endast behandlar rätten till nödvärn med utgångs-punkt från angripaThe following paper addresses the question of how the right to self-defense is applied against multiple attackers, especially when they act in concert. Chapter 24 of the Swedish Criminal Code stipulates the right to self-defense in case of criminal attacks on persons or property, provided that the action is not clearly unjustifiable. Since the preparatory work for the Swedish Criminal Code only co
