I den här rapporten undersöks möjligheten för att tillverka och använda gjutmodeller tillverkade genom additiv tillverkning, i folkmun kallat 3D-printing. Först görs en grundläggande analys över hur modellerna tillverkas idag och vilka krav som ställs på modellen. Detta innefattar både rena material och hållfasthetskrav, men även mer svårdefinierade krav där man enbart kan resonera kring rimliga aIn this report the possibility for the manufacture and use of molding-patterns made through additive manufacturing methods, commonly called 3D-printing, is evaluated. First an analysis of how the patterns are currently being made and which demands that are put on them will be made. This includes more pure material and load demands, as well as more abstract and hard defined demands. After this the

Education has the potential to play a critical role in the sustainable transformation of society which is needed to limit the consequences of the multiple ecological crises society is facing. While this has been recognised internationally at least since 1992, not a lot has been done within the Danish educational system to address issues of climate change, biodiversity loss, and sustainability with

This case study investigates the involvement of private military companies (PMCs) in two African conflicts. Nigeria and Mozambique hired PMCs in 2014 and 2019 respectively to combat internal insurgencies. The paper aims to answer why these countries hired PMCs and if the PMCs were successful in combating the insurgencies. For the first question, the intensity of the insurgency and the state of the

The pressing issue of sustainability necessitates a broader collaboration span across all fields, such as finance and communication. Investments hold substantial power in the current sustainability reform, and it is therefore crucial that they not only meet the escalating demands of society but also actively contribute to forging a better future. The financial industry continues to grapple with ne

Investor sentiment is an important research object in behavioral finance, and its analysis has been one of the hot topics in stock market research recently. As an abstract concept, investor sentiment needs to be visualized by the construction of the investor sentiment index. In 2006, Baker and Wurgler proposed the Baker & Wurgler (BW) index, which can reflect investor sentiment in the American

Dark matter accounts for about 85% of all matter in the Universe, yet its particle nature remains unknown. The Light Dark Matter eXperiment (LDMX) is a proposed fixed-target missing-momentum experiment that intends to probe the predominantly experimentally uncharted MeV-GeV mass range for "light dark matter". A significant challenge for LDMX is to efficiently veto rare photo-nuclear back

Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are a powerful tool for supporting disaster risk reduction (DRR). International agreements such as the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction call on high-income countries and other partners to support lower-income countries in strengthening their DRR capacities. This thesis explores the experiences of stakeholders in strengthening GIS capacities for DRR

Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att urskilja ett federalistiskt mönster inom EU:s makroekonomiska styrning och att söka förklaringar till förstärkningen av det rättsliga ramverket i detta avseende. Uppsatsen verkar i ett konstitutionellt perspektiv och antar ett multidimensionellt tillvägagångssätt för att uppfylla uppsatsens syfte. Gemensamt för dessa tillvägagångssätt är att de förhåller sig tilThe purpose of the thesis is to discern the pattern of federalism in EU macroeconomic governance and seek explanations for the strengthening of the framework in this regard. The thesis operates in a constitutional perspective, adopting a multidimensional approach in order to fulfil the purpose. These approaches have in common that they regard issues of legal power. By tackling the research questio

It is a common practise to quote option prices using their BlackScholes implied volatility. A volatility surface describes an options implied volatility as a function of the strike price and time to maturity. It can be used as a tool for hedging but also valuation when prices are not directly observable. The short-term evolution of this surface has been described by a variety of apocryphal rules.

Problem definition Additive manufacturing is a technology that has received a lot of attention and many are wondering how it will affect them plastic industry in the future. Additive manufacturing is mostly used for prototyping today but there is reason to believe that the technology has potential to overtake other application areas for plastic or used as a complementary method to existing manufac

This thesis work is part of a larger project with final goal to be able to measure the oxygen concentration in the lungs of infants, using non-invasive laser spectroscopy. This thesis is specifically dealing with simulations of light transport through the upper body of infants, as well as constructing a tissue-like model (phantom) that can be used in experiments. The goal is to use these simulatio

This project uses proton-proton collision data from the ALICE experiment at CERN to investigate the differences between three ways to classify events, known as event shape classifiers. The event shape classifiers that were investigated are RT , spherocity and flattenicity. The motivation behind this is the consistent use of these classifiers to select events when investigating the heavy-ion like

The purpose of this study was to gain a greater understanding on how healthcare workers, particularly caregivers of elderly and dementia patients, are impacted by a Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction (MBSR) training and to explore the reasons a manager has for incorporating these types of trainings. Within the scope of this qualitative study, we conducted semi-structured interviews with nine careg

We study a 1+1 dimensional Yang-Mills model in the light-cone gauge (the ’t Hooft model). The colour group is SU (N ) and we study the limit N → ∞, the limit is taken such that g²N is kept constant. In this limit the only contributing diagrams are planar diagrams without gluon-gluon interactions. Using this, it is shown that there are no free quarks in this model. The bound state wave equation is

Embedded systems are hard to debug and the field of control software testing is relatively unexplored. Progress in these areas could provide better testing heuristics and safer systems. More specifically, hardware emulation is a potentially powerful tool that can help improve the speed and quality of the development cycle. Therefore, this study developed a hardware emulator for supporting embedded

This work presents the first data from a calculation engine for synchrotron Microbeam Radiation Therapy (MRT) implemented in the EclipseTM Treatment Planning System from Varian Medical Services. The calculation engine constitutes a simple pencil beam algorithm estimating ‘peak’ dose and of Monte Carlo simulated Peak Valley Dose Ratios (PVDRs) that are used to obtain ‘valley’ dose. The aim of this

This thesis explores the under-recognised yet symptomatic visual motif of two women, a recurring theme within a vast array of pictorial examples. Its primary objective is to construct a theoretical and methodological framework capable of comprehending the multiplicity of images in the form of an image collection: The Atlas of Two Women. This inquiry primarily draws on Walter Benjamin’s concept of

The number of devices connected to the Internet is rapidly increasing. Especially the number of Internet of Things devices. These devices contain software which, like any other software, needs to be updated. With the great amount of devices to update, this calls for a manageable updating solution which does not depend on user interaction. In this thesis we present a solution to dynamically update
