The ever evolving automotive industry is pushing for further electrification of the vehicle fleet and the need for new electric drivetrains is therefore in high demand. The Formula Student competitions have also shifted their focus towards electric vehicles where innovative and efficient drivetrains are premiered in the design events. This master thesis work aimed to continue the development of Lu
Förverkandelagstiftningen grundar sig i tanken om att försätta den som gjort sig skyldig till ett brott i samma situation som om brottet inte hade skett. Vid ett förverkande övergår äganderätten till viss egendom till staten, som i sin tur säljer alternativt förstör egendomen. Lagstiftningen har genomgått flertalet ändringar de senaste åren, då förverkande anses utgöra ett effektivt verktyg i arbeThe confiscation legislation is based on the idea of putting the person who has committed a crime in the same situation as if the crime had not occurred. In a confiscation ownership of the property transfers to the state. The state then sells or destroys the property. The legislation has undergone several changes in recent years, as confiscation is considered an effective tool in combating organiz
Operational systems, such as industrial automation, autonomous vehicles, and larger air/sea/landcrafts, often contain a large number of heavily connected systems with real-time requirements for their functionality. For such systems, detecting and responding to anomalies is both challenging and crucial. Until recently, such anomalies were monitored using heuristic methods, or even humans monitoring
Disasters can generate up to fifteen times the annual rates of waste generated by the impacted communities and overwhelm the capacities of waste management systems. Disaster waste influences almost every aspect of response and recovery, is risky, and can be time-consuming and costly to clean-up. Disaster waste management (DWM) is, therefore, a key, and often neglected step for response and recover
In this master thesis, the most economically viable option for investing in a new unit in an existing district heating system to fulfil an intermediate load demand of district heating was studied. The investment feasibility of retrofitting a new CHP plan with carbon capture and storage and carbon capture utilization was also investigated. A simulation environment was built in the software Energy O
Soil moisture (SM) is an essential climate variable that controls fundamental hydrological and climatic processes. Soil moisture products derived from microwave remote sensing often provide measurements at low spatial resolution and incomplete temporal records. This thesis presents a novel method for estimation soil moisture at both high spatial and temporal resolution by using a deep learning rec
The attention to the environmental impact of plastics materials used in food packaging has produced several studies in the last decade and consumers have started wondering about the utility and the functions of food packaging. In fact, the use and the production of plastic polymers cause pollution due to the disposal and to the CO2 emission. Besides that, even if new polymers from organic and biol
In recent times of market turmoil, liquidity risk has become a big talking point. As certain Swedish fixed income funds, which were advertised as safe investment options, closed for a few trading days in March of 2020 due to the extremely high stress on the market, questions about how illiquidity a↵ects risk and return were asked. There has been plenty of previous research on the subject and it al
Unemployment and long-term unemployment is a recurring topic that is discussed in public debates. The recurring question is how society should solve this problem. But how and why is long-term unemployment considered a social problem? This essay aims to investigate two municipal labor market projects aimed at the long-term unemployed. The material was obtained from the City of Malmö's Labor and
N,N-diphenyl carbazolium salt has attracted interest for applications in anionic exchange membranes (AEM) due to its structural features and the high chemical stability that the compound exhibit. AEM are polymeric membranes with positively charged functional groups. They can be employed as electrolytes in alkaline fuel cells. In this project, different types of N,N-diphenyl carbazolium compounds w
Antagandet om att personer med ätstörningar är smala är fortfarande utbrett, trots att det finns ett signifikant samband mellan ätstörningar och obesitas. I linje med detta finns en kunskapslucka avseende skattningsformulär riktade mot att fånga ätstörningar och subkliniska besvär hos personer med obesitas. En systematisk litteraturöversikt genomfördes med syftet att hitta tillgängliga formulär, mThe assumption that people with eating disorders are skinny is still widespread, even though there is a co-occurrence between eating disorders and obesity. Despite this co-occurrence, there is a gap in the knowledge regarding questionnaires aimed at assessing eating disorders and subclinical symptoms for people with obesity. Therefore, a systematic review was conducted with the purpose of finding
The European Spallation Source ESS, under construction in Lund, Sweden, aims to produce high-brightness and intensity neutrons for a multitude of experiments upon completion. An efficient production of neutrons requires elaborate understanding of the moderation process which slows the neutrons from relativistic speed to a kinetic energy of meV. The moderator used at the ESS will be partially made
In this paper regularization of the correlation matrix between futures contracts is examined. With starting point in the recently established HPCA framework (Avellaneda, 2019), a couple of different extensions to the one-factor model is suggested. Extensions are made in terms of adjusting the model according to different cluster structures. The data consists of futures contracts on a wide variety
Streaming video over the internet can face issues when met with poor and varying network conditions, which can be especially noticeable when streaming live video such as security footage or video calling. To handle this, there exists congestion control algorithms that monitor network conditions based on feedback from the receiver and adapt the video output. This thesis aims to implement and compar
Retrieval orientations refer to cognitive states that, if adopted, tonically orients episodic retrieval attempts towards the sought-after type of information. Such orientations can enhance episodic retrieval by modulating the processing and effectiveness of retrieval cues. The current study investigated if retrieval orientations are adopted volitionally and spontaneously, as previous studies have
The purpose of this study was to find out how nudging can be used in mobility management for sustainability adaptment of people's travel patterns, and examine if there is measures in mobility management that can be interpreted as nudging. This thesis performed a practical qualitative test in which a mobility management measure in the form of a “ride an electric bike to work” campaign was intro
Income Tax-deduction for commuting expenses has been criticised and discussed for a long time without having reached any conclusions or reformations. Critical opinions in the debate are that a reformation would disfavour taxpayers living in the countryside with no options except car commuting and decreasing size of labour market regions. At the same time tax evasion is a huge problem because taxpa
Malware (malicious software) is becoming an increasing problem, as it continuously grows both in numbers and complexity. Traditional, signature based anti-virus systems are often incapable of detecting new, sophisticated malware, which calls for more advanced tools. So called sandboxes are tools which automate the process of analyzing malware by actually running them in isolated environments and o
The fact that educational buildings are places where the majority of us spend most of our formative years, their design plays an important part in improving the education level and well-being of society. A number of changes have been made to the traditional design of these buildings in the last few decades and the old education system, where the teacher solely acts as an informer and the children
