The master thesis is a collaboration between Trelleborg AB and the division of Production and Materials Engineering at Lund University, Faculty of Engineering. The objective of the thesis has been to analyse the current production system from a lean perspective, identify an area in need of improvement and generate concrete solutions for how the studied area can be improved in terms of cost, perfor
A protein’s function is directly related to its structure, which is in a water medium where it is affected by hydrogen bonds and the hydrophobic effect. These interactions are in turn dependent on the water molecules’ orientations around the protein. Therefore, it is vital to have correct orientations for the water molecules. Such information can be obtained by neutron crystallography. However, ev
The primary aim of this essay is to add new insight as to the productivity and universality of phonaesthemes in general, and the sl-phonaestheme in particular. The data presented in this essay is generated in two ways: lexical analyses and an experiment. The lexical analyses show that the dominant semantic features of words beginning with the cluster sl- are the same in English and Swedish, namely
Holmqvist, G. & Lundqvist Persson, C. (2011). Is there evidence for the use of art therapy in treatment of psychosomatic disorders, eating disorders and crisis? A comparative study of two different systems for evaluation. Scandinavian Journal of Psychology. As with any type of treatment the requirement for evidence based practice (EBP) has also affected art therapy (AT) when used as an interve
This paper examines the state of public transportation in the swedish county of Scania during the Covid-19 pandemic. Through travel statistics from the agency that runs the county’s transit network (Skånetrafiken) it is concluded that travel numbers have decreased dramatically during the pandemic. Two employees at Skånetrafiken are interviewed and asked about what measures the agency has taken dur
Surrogatarrangemang har varit kraftigt debatterat i Sverige. I dagens läge finns ingen reglering på området. Surrogatarrangemang sker dock ändå genom att svenskar åker utomlands eller utför heminsemination. Detta innebär att barn tillkommer men det finns ingen reglering som hanterar dess rättsliga förhållanden. Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka om en framtida reglering av altruistiskt surrogaSurrogacy arrangements have been heavily debated. Today, there is no legislation regarding surrogacy arrangements in Sweden. However, the phenomena still take place by Swedes going abroad or performing private insemination. This leaves the legal situation for families with surrogate-born children uncertain. The purpose of the thesis is to examine whether a future regulation of altruistic surrogat
The purpose of this study was to examine the thoughts and experiences of children’s investigators of the social services regarding the recent incorporation of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) into Swedish domestic law. By doing so we wished to gain a greater understanding of the practical implications of this new law. Our method was qualitative and the data collected through se
Private set intersection is a technique for finding the intersection of (two) parties' sets without disclosing anything else, and it finds it use in e.g. contact discovery, finding friends who are already on a social platform. Multi-party threshold private set intersection is an extension of this which allows multiple parties and only reveals the intersection if the intersection is larger than
Several problems concern about energy are frequently discussed in recent decades, such as the shortage of traditional energy resource, the increase of energy price and the destruction of living environment by energy conversion. To solve these problems, sustainable development of energy become a preferential task all around the world. Under current circumstances, applying energy saving measures and
This article should serve as an introduction to a relatively new topic in ethnological studies requiring very specific methods as it involves both offline and online research as well as material objects and immaterial practices. How do we embark on an interdisciplinary venture such as this, and be sure to produce qualitative research of high standard? How should gaming mothers best be studied? In
Sammanfattning Detta examensarbete kommer att handla om relationen mellan den svenska åklagarmyndigheten och den europeiska åklagarmyndigheten med rättssäkerhet/effektivitet som examensarbetets teoretiska verktyg. En mycket viktig sak som måste påpekas är att den europeiska åklagarmyndigheten ännu ej finns, men EU är mycket angeläget om att inrätta myndigheten. Å ena sidan vill EU inrätta myndigheSummary This bachelor thesis will deal with the relation between the Swedish and the European public prosecutor’s offices with the pair legal security/efficiency as theoretical instruments. A very important thing that has to be pointed out is that the European public prosecutor’s office does not yet exist, although the European union is very eager to set up this authority. On one hand the European
Sent i oktober 2012 så orsakade orkanen Sandy stor skada på de Karibiska öarna men senare även i USA, New Jersey, då som ett extratropiskt system. Vädersystemet var annorlunda på många vis jämfört med en "normal" orkan med avseende på dess bana, avsaknaden av ett öga och dess enorma storlek. Dessa egenskaper berodde alla på den rådande cirkulationen i den övre troposfären. Det var växelvIn late October 2012 hurricane Sandy caused a lot of damage to the islands in the Caribbean Sea and later on (as an extratropical cyclone) to the United States; New Jersey. The system was different in many ways relative to “normal” hurricanes, e.g. its track, its lack of eye at times it was classified as a hurricane and its great size which all partly was due to the prevailing circulations in the
Popular Abstract in Swedish Paternalism i allmänläkarens vardag - om läkarens makt och patientens rätt till självbestämmande. I mitt vardagliga arbete som allmänläkare möter jag patienter med olika symtom och sjukdomar. Hur bör allmänläkaren förhålla sig till en patient som ställer krav på en åtgärd – en speciell undersökning, ett recept på en viss medicin eller ett intyg – som läkaren inte finneThe overall aim of this thesis was to identify and analyse situations raising the question of possible paternalism in everyday general practice in Sweden. Both questionnaires to a random sample of respondents and interviews have been used. The ethical awareness among GPs in Sweden and the variety of ethical issues, suggest that medical ethics is a subject of high relevance in general practice. Th
Sammanfattning-The use of hierarchical structures for providing excellent wireless connections for customers has attained growing attention. Models to investigate the QoS requirements rather quickly become complicated and hard to analyze. In the paper a first rough analytical approach for the answer is given. As the users devote more and more time to be connected through wireless connections, and
Board evaluations can contribute to effective boards and improved corporate financial performance. The increasing interest in the practice of board evaluations, however, calls for a more systematic and careful approach than has been employed in the past. While most attention has primarily been focused on the content of board evaluations, this article outlines the features of various possible board
Popular Abstract in Swedish Evolusjon og energikonservering i en katalysator i cellens kraftverk Alle levende organismer må omforme energien i mat eller sollys til en form som cellen kan bruke som energi. Energien brukes både til prosesser som bryter ned og bygger opp komponenter i cellen. Den brukes også til prosesser som muskelsammentrekninger, celledelinger og bevegelser. Uansett hva slags celComplex I or NADH:quinone oxidoreductase is the largest enzyme complex, but the least understood energy coupling site in the respiratory chain of mitochondria and bacteria. No high-resolution structural information exists for this enzyme and the molecular mechanism that couples electron transfer and proton pumping is not understood. In mammals, about 50% of the mitochondrial DNA is encoding protei
In this thesis, I have studied male and female selective mechanisms that can affect plant reproductive success and gene flow. I have focussed on sexually selected traits, mainly pollen competition and maternal sorting mechanisms, for example through non-random ovule abortion. The main question was; what kind of traits can influence the most successful pollen donor or maternal sorting process? I fo
Inspections are widely used in the software engineering community as efficient contributors to reduced fault content and improved product understanding. In order to measure and control the effect and use of inspections, the fault content after an inspection must be estimated. The capture-recapture method, with its origin in biological sciences, is a promising approach for estimation of the remaini
The need for increaseding accuracy and reduced ambiguities in the inversion results has resulted in focus on the development of more advanced inversion methods of geophysical data. Over the past few years more advanced inversion techniques have been developed to improve the results. Real 3D-inversion is time consuming and therefore often not the best solution in a cost-efficient perspective. This
Background: Over the past decade, several PET tracers were developed to visualise and quantify tau pathology in vivo. However, all these tracers have distinct off-target binding, different dynamic ranges and likely different levels of non-specific binding resulting in large variability in semiquantification. We propose to standardise the sampling and the quantification across all available tau tra
