Modern industrial robots are traditionally programmed to follow desired trajectories, with the only feedback coming from the internal position/angle sensors in the joints. The robots are in general very accurate in tracking the desired motion, and they have become indispensable in many applications, such as spot welding and painting in the automotive industry. In more complex tasks, such as physic
Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (IDDM) is a chronic disease characterized by the inability of the pancreas to produce sufficient amounts of insulin. Daily compensation of the deficiency requires 4-6 insulin injections to be taken daily, the aim of this insulin therapy being to maintain normoglycemia - i.e., a blood glucose level between 4 and 7mmol/l. To determine the quantity and timing of th
A classical structural optimisation problem consists of a problem-specific objective function which has to be minimised in consideration of particular constraints with respect to design and state variables. In this contribution we adopt a conceptually different approach for the design of a structure which is not based on a classical optimisation technique. Instead, we establish a constitutive micr
Popular Abstract in Swedish Övervikt är ett av vår tids största hälsoproblem, kanske till och med det största. Det finns de som menar att redan idag utgör övervikt globalt sett en viktigare orsak till sjukdom än undernäring och infektionssjukdomar. Framtidsscenariot beskrivs som alarmerande. Folk kommer att i en tidigare aldrig skådad omfattning insjukna i överviktens följdsjukdomar. Medierna harThe prevalence of overweight and obesity is rising each year not only on a national but also on a global level. The future scenario is troublesome. The media are among the most important social institutions in influencing people’s knowledge, perceptions and actions. The media provide citizens with health messages and contribute thereby to their health development. This dissertation deals with two
Customers and the stakeholders are putting increased pressure on the companies to take responsibility for environmental issues in their supply chain. This may not be very easy for the companies, especially if the suppliers causing pollution are beyond company's direct business connections. This study tries to understand this phenomenon by means of a case study in the fashion industry. A Swedis
Article 4 of the Community Trade Mark Regulation (CTMR) defines signs of which a Community trade mark may consist in a very wide manner, expressly including the shape of goods or of their packaging. However, with regard to such shapes, the Regulation in its Article 7(1)(e) introduces a, in comparison with other signs, additional ground for refusal that has to be overcome when seeking registration.
Sverige är ett av mycket få länder som inte har någon tidsgräns för hur länge häktning får pågå. Dessutom åläggs regelmässigt restriktioner som innebär att den häktade i princip är helt isolerad under häktningstiden. För detta har Sverige fått ta emot långvarig skarp kritik från internationellt håll. Syftet med uppsatsen är att utreda det svenska häktningsinstitutet, med fokus på häktningstidernSweden is one of very few countries that has no legislation limiting time on remand. In addition, restrictions are imposed regularly, which means that the remand prisoner essentially is completely isolated during the period of remand. For this, Sweden has received long-standing sharp international criticism. The purpose of the paper is to investigate the Swedish detention laws, with focus on the
Fångar är förbisedda i folkrätten. Det finns inget bindande instrument med global tillämpning som reglerar hur de ska behandlas. Ansvaret lämnas till den nationella lagstiftaren, även om det finns ett par regionala instrument som reglerar fångars situation. Fångar förväntas ofta arbeta under sitt fängelsestraff, men arbetsvillkoren är försummade i den nationella arbetsrättsliga lagstiftningen. RikPrisoners are somewhat overlooked in international law. There is no binding global instrument regarding their treatment. Regulations are left to the national legislators, though there are a few regional instruments concerning prisoners. Prisoners are often required to work during their prison sentence, but the conditions of work are neglected in national law. The ILO, which is the UN agency respon
The focal point of this project is the interaction between the human individual and nature. It all started with a wish to study the role of architecture outside of urban contexts and bigger systems of urban strategy, segregation and densification. In order to do so, I chose to work with a location in nature that has made a particularly strong impression on me: the southern esker of Kåseberga. This
Although much research has been conducted regarding the uneven distribution of land in developing countries, such work tends to focus on rural land dispossession. In turn, land inequality in urban property markets of vulnerable economies remains somewhat understudied. Based on a case-study of Asunción, Paraguay, this thesis employs a Marxian political economy framework to investigate the developme
A prerequisite for the effective conservation of species, is the accurate assessment of a species’ distribution and numbers. In order to look into the population sizes of birds, a quantitative atlas project from 1981 included a total count of the inland birds in the Faroe Islands. The aim for my thesis was to look at the population changes from 1981 until 2020, by repeating the 1981 atlas project,
Uppsatsen handlar om det allmännas ansvar när myndigheter på olika sätt lämnar upplysningar och råd till enskilda. Historiskt har ett skadeståndsansvar för det allmännas offentliga verksamhet ansetts strida mot statssuveräniteten och principen ”the king can do no wrong”. Det var inte förrän vid skadeståndslagens (SkL) tillkomst år 1972 som det infördes ett ansvar när det allmänna orsakar skada i sThis thesis is about the Swedish public bodies liability when they provide information and advice to individuals. Historically, liability for negligent exercise of public authority has been considered to be contrary to public sovereignty and the principle 'the king can do no wrong'. It was not until the creation of the Tort Liability Act (TLA) in 1972 that a liability when public bodies ca
Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have made rapid progress in the last years and in fields, such as computer vision, they are considered state-of-the-art. However, CNNs are very computationally intensive. This makes them challenging to use in embedded devices such as smartphones, security cameras and cars. This thesis investigates different neural network compression techniques to see which wi
The original human form. Neutrality. Adam, created from dust, become his own, and Eve, created from one of Adam’s ribs, and ad-on to the original human. Or so the creation myth states, in cultures based on Abrahamic religions. Masculinity is a social construction, shaped by history and traditions, and varying across different cultures and time periods. Just like femininity masculinity h

The aim of this essay is to understand the difference in taxation between different kinds of winnings with a focus on betting. The essay also aims to understand the difference between the words gambling winnings and competition earnings in the Swedish Law Income Tax Act. Forms of winnings which are closely
The Court's refusal to implement horizontal direct effect upon directives may, in some cases, lead to injustice. It can not be considered just and equitable that individuals who do not comply with provisions stemming from a supreme legal order are able to avoid retribution. This situation may be seen as further exacerbated by the fact that public funds are used to finance the shortcomings. Wha
The purpose of this report is to review and assess the life safety in case of fire in the high-rise part of the Hospital of Danderyd, Sweden, with focus on nursing ward 61. This ward is situated on the sixth floor out of 16 in the high rise building 20. The ward mainly runs post intestinal surgical care. The analysis evaluates four different scenarios using hand calculations and several computer s
This thesis investigates the game of oil shipping; both the market settings and how the players play the game. An important characteristic of the oil shipping market is cycles in the spot freight prices. The cycles are created by the imperfect adjustment mechanisms of supply within the relatively short run, and by that the demand is not perfectly predictable. By a mathematical investigation, I sho
This study aims at examining and analyzing the involvement of the school counselor in the drug prevention work which is carried out in primary schools. This by examining how the work with drug prevention is carried out in some primary schools today, if there is a special focus on the defined risk student, and which approaches of the work is evidence based.

Tre fiskgjusar utrustades med sändare innehållande GPS-mottagare inför hösten 2006. Sändarna gav information om fågelns position varje timme under hela flytten från Sverige till Afrika. Data från sändarna användes i den här studien tillsammans med marktäckedata för att ta fram en metod för att undersöka samband mellan landskapet och olika aspekter av flytten. Fiskgjusen förväntades välja en väg soThree Ospreys were fitted with satellite transmitters including GPS receivers in autumn 2006. These transmitters provide hourly data of the birds’ positions during their migration from Sweden to Africa. These data, together with land cover data, was used in this study to develop a method for investigating the influence of landscape properties on different aspects of bird migration. The Ospreys wer
