By observing a horse´s shape and movement you can get information about signs of disease. From a veterinary perspective the progression of new scientific methods and technological advances towards the field of equine motion and shape analysis may help with diagnosis, early detection of diseases, improving the chances of successful treatment and thereby offer overall benefits to the welfare of hors
The aim of the thesis is to discuss church building, the architectural design of Romanesque and Gothic churches and the use and symbolic interpretation of church buildings in the medieval period. It is suggested that churches were built for a variety of reasons, that the construction process may have been complicated and that the final result was not always the expected one. Many social groups wer
Popular Abstract in English An algae that has lost its ability to do photosynthesis over the last million years and started to feed on human blood causes about 600.000 death every year, a number equals about 8 times Lund’s present population. This evolved algae named Plasmod- ium falciparum causes Malaria, a tropical disease mainly affecting economically weak regions in Africa. Unlike bacteria or Malaria, caused by the protozoan parasite Plasmodium falciparum is responsible for about 600.000 death cases every year. Mainly affected are populations of subtropical countries in Africa and the largest groups of victims are children below the age of 5 years. The fast evolving drug resistances of Plasmodium against the the most pow- erful antimalarials threatens the successful containment of this
Purpose: This master thesis aims to understand how the development of the leading FM companies will influence upon the service strategy in Crawford Sweden. Design/approach: Literature review of published work concerning FM along with interviews with a range of people within Crawford and in the FM business. Research limitations: Owing to constraint of time, the authors have had to make some delimit
The spreading of innovation within organisations is an area of interest for both academics and practitioners. Within information systems research collaboration issues are often addressed and solved through implementation of technology artefacts to meditate communication. With more and more resources being spent on collaborative technologies we argue that there can be cost advantages in looking at
The growth of informal settlements especially in third world countries has become a problem on a global scale. In Asia and Africa, although under different circumstances, the fastest urbanization takes place. To find a good way on how to include the poor city migraters into the growing cities will be crucial in order to have more sustainable, peaceful and just societies. My focus lays on the semi-
This master thesis project has developed a method for a six-legged robot to traverse uneven terrains. From a previous project, the robot already possessed basic locomotion which had to be extensively redesigned. Several new subsystems have been introduced, such as a continuous balancing system, a system estimating the slope of the ground the robot is walking on, and method for detecting when the r
Iceland is known for its remote location and rough beauty. In their seclusion, the Icelanders have built an independent and peaceful country. They are undeniably a very unique nation, where police officers are not allowed to carry guns, except on special occasions. The society displays a relaxed attitude towards prisons, which are built without concrete walls around. However, faced with the immens
The need for cost-effective linear motion is large in all sectors of industry and the linear actuator is one of the responses to this need. The purpose of this thesis was to search for alternative linear technologies to replace a pneumatic cylinder. The cylinder had certain attributes which the new technology had to reproduce. In order to attain all of these attributes a list of specifications fo
För var dag som går blir vårt samhälle allt mer beroende av teknik och snabb och lättillgänglig information. De flesta av oss söker dagligen efter någon sorts information på internet. Vi gör sökningar på allt som är av intresse för oss för stunden och allt fler inköp görs numera på nätet. Med denna nya, teknikberoende livsstil har det blivit allt viktigare för företag att marknadsföra sina varor oFor each day that passes our society becomes more and more dependent on technology and a fast and easy access to information. Most of us are using internet on a daily basis in search of information. We search for information regarding most things in our lives, from health, lifestyle and food to information regarding travel and work-related issues. With this new, technology-dependent lifestyle it h
The main research problem in this thesis is the lack of a holistic understanding of how neo-patrimonialism, colonial legacies, decentralisation, illiberal peace-building and the revitalisation of traditional reconciliation practices have affected conflict, peace and development in North Maluku Province (NMP). This is important to study, given the negative impacts inherent in the conflict-developme
I takt med att världens befolkning ökar och allt fler väljer att bosätta sig inne i staden ökar behovet av att hitta smarta och hållbara sätt att förtäta. En stad har sina begränsningar och därför har det genomgående i projektet varit viktigt att undersöka hur vi kan töja på stadens gränser och tillföra nya värden utan att tumma på befintliga kvaliteter. Att förtäta en stad är en möjlighet att höjAs the world population increases and more people choose to settle in the city the need to find smart and sustainable solutions to densify increases. A city has limitations and therefore it has been important to look at how we can stretch the city´s borders and adding new values without compromising the existing qualities. To densify a city is an opportunity to improve existing urban spaces and in
This is a thesis which describes a process for realizing a SCADA system using Codesys and iX developer, after a given function description. This is followed by an investigation about the Modbus protocol. That is applied to do the communication possible between the different parts in the system. The report includes a simple part of theory. This treats concepts like SCADA, PLC, I/O-devices, communic
Har ergonomi fler funktioner än att förebygga skador? Denna studie undersöker hur fyra gitarrister kan gynnas av att spela mer ergonomiskt. Gitarristerna har fått instruktioner av mig hur de ska öva med ett ergonomiskt arbetssätt. Det studien syftar på är att undersöka hur det hjälper deras uthållighet, teknik, fokus och avslappning under gitarrspelandet. Studien är utformad som aktionsforskning d
The creation of floral resources for pollinators, such as flower strips, is seen as a relevant and needed intervention but comes with both cost and an opportunity for farmers. It may be worth it if, for example, pollinators are attracted to pollinator-dependent crops and deliver crop pollination. Unfortunately, since pollinators are mobile organisms, the spatial distribution of crop pollination re
Title: Development of a Forecasting Model for Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Components. A Design Science Study at Tetra Pak. Authors: Faruk Kodzaga & Giacomo Daniele Supervisor: Jan Olhager, Department of Industrial Management and Logistics Background: The importance of accurate demand forecast is set due to the drivers of short lead-times, just-in-time-deliveries and cost effective
The EU has recently shifted its trade policy from multilateralism to bilateralism, and this has highly affected Turkey via the existing trade regime with the EU. The aim of this dissertation is to analyse the reactions of current actors in Turkey to the EU’s increasing FTAs with third countries in the EU-Turkey trade regime context. To do this, a theoretical framework has been established by using
Det här examensarbetet innefattar framtagningen av ett verktyg som hjälper produktutvecklare designa ergonomiska produkter. Många produkter som idag når tillverkning, eller till och med marknaden, är inte alltid så ergonomiska som det hade kunnat önskas. Emellertid kan dessa problem förebyggas i ett tidigt skede genom väl genomtänkt utformning på produkter och adekvata ergonomiska utvärderingar. D
When concrete slab frame bridges are designed with modern linear 3D FE-models large tensile restraint forces will arise in the transversal direction of the bridge from the temperature and shrinkage loads. These restraint forces are much larger than those that are accounted for in the older 2D models. This leads to that the amount of transversal reinforcement, calculated in the 3D FE-calculations,
