This thesis, written at Scania CV AB in Södertälje, Sweden, during the spring of 2015, treats the subject of Solid State Fuses and the possibility to use these in heavy vehicles. A Solid State Fuse is a device containing only solid state components, implementing a function to protect wiring harness and connectors from damage caused by electrical faults. The device should contain circuit breakers a
Many people suffering from chronic kidney disease are in need of a kidney transplant. A problem in the health care is that patients cannot undergo surgery if they have too much belly fat. Regular exercise and physical activity are therefore crucial for this group of people. A project group at the Skåne University Hospital has recently been established to help patients with chronic kidney disease t
The six participants, two in Sweden and four in Denmark, interviewed for this thesis are all organizational outsiders: they consult organizations on how to create diverse workplaces. The empirical, qualitative material is analyzed within an interdisciplinary framework consisting of feminist, queer, anti-racist, affect and critical diversity theories. The focus of the thesis concerns resistance fro
It has been stated that transgender youth are at higher risk of violence, physical and mental health problems than other youth. High schools has the goal that equality and respect towards all students should be excercised. The strategy to attain this goal is to use normative criticism as approach in courses tought by teachers and generally around the school. This study aims to investigate how the
Den termiska klimatupplevelsen påverkas mest av lufttemperaturen som är enkel att mäta med en vanlig termometer, men för att ta reda på hur temperaturen i ett rum upplevs räcker det inte med att enbart undersöka lufttemperaturen. Även om lufttemperaturen ligger på en komfortabel nivå så kan en kall yta i närheten få personen att känna att det är kyligt i rummet och på motsvarande sätt kan varma ytThe thermal climate experience is most affected by air temperature that is easy to measure with a standard thermometer, but to find out how the temperature in a room is felt it is not enough to merely examine the air temperature. Even if the air temperature is at a comforta-ble level, then a cold surface near get the person to feel that it is chilly in the room and cor-respondingly the hot surface
The thesis introduces a range of communication protocols used to implementing smart homes currently available on the market. Two protocols are chosen and theoretically analysed in depth. The analysis both describes how the protocols works and describes the measures taken in order to protect it against attacks from third parties. The theoretical evaluation analyses how susceptible the protocols are
Direct Fastening tools are popular for quick fastenings in concrete and steel by propelling the nail with gun powder, gas or electricity. Because of this the users hand needs to absorb a shock caused by the recoil when a setting is performed. The link between the recoil and its effect on the user is essentially unexplored. This makes it hard to design an optimum handle for a direct fastening tool
This report describes a framework for evaluating social benefit of safety in road tunnels and above all in terms of describing society's aversion to disasters in socio-economic terms. The framework presents a method for quantifying the benefit sacrifice as rational decision-makers are prepared to do to prevent disasters.
While machines are getting better at simulating human behavior it has become more common with the use of avatars and conversational text in mobile applications. These are used in order to induce a reflectively positive experience for the user, possibly making the user choose that application in favor of another. The balance between developing a too playful application and an uninteresting one is h
The majority of the current 3GPP and M2M networks use or will use IPv6 for accessing the internet. These IPv6 networks use Neighbor Discovery as defined in RFC 4861 to identify their neighbors on the link and see if they are active. The increase in the complexity of wireless networks and introduction of battery operated devices sets forth notable challenges to certain assumptions in the RFC 4861.
Construction accounts for major challenges when it comes to reducing the environmental impact. Circular economy is a concept that opens up for a more circular holistic approach and when the concept is implemented in the construction industry the concept can get the construction industry to move away from the traditional linear model. This fact opens up for a question about how circular economy can
In this thesis we show that the best forecast for near future yield curves are performed with a full specication of our chosen model and for far future yield curves the forecast is better with a partial specication of the model. We conclude that the driving factors for the banks' yield curves are not as closely related to Swedbank's as amongst the other peers which show that Swedbank stand
To examine nanoparticle toxicity there is a need to produce defined nanoparticles dispersed in a colloidal suspension. Such a solution could also be interesting for other fields such as nano-medicine. In order to disperse the particles in the liquid there are often surfactant added to the process that alternates the surface of the particles. As the research shows that the surface of a nanoparticle
Principalansvar innebär att man blir ansvarig för någon annans vållande och är således en avvikelse från den svenska skadeståndsrättens grundprincip som föreskriver att man endast ansvarar för sina egna handlingar. Innan skadeståndslagen (SkL) trädde ikraft fanns endast rättspraxis som underlag för ett inskränkt principalansvar. Genom införandet av skadeståndslagen blev arbetsgivarens principalansVicarious liability means being responsible for someone else's negligence and therefor a deviation from the Swedish tort law basic principle, which states that you are only responsible for your own actions. Before the Swedish Liability Act (SkL) came into force there were only case law as the basis for a limited vicarious liability. With the introduction of the Liability Act the vicarious liab
Delningsekonomi är ett relativt nytt fenomen som har dykt upp under 2000-talet. Delningsekonomin går ut på att individer delar ägandeskap genom att låna ut i stort sett vad som helst när det gäller olika produkter eller tjänster, till skillnad från när produkter eller tjänster ägdes och utnyttjades av den enskilde. Det finns idag många olika företag inom detta område, där några av de mest välkända
This qualitative research studies how airlines can use social media as a branding tool in the South Korean market. In order to execute the research properly, the South Korean market had to be studied in terms of social media environment and consumer behavior. In addition, the airline perspective had to be brought in with high representativeness. The researchers decided to use Finnair as a qualitat
HVAC systems are widely used to provide a good indoor air quality in buildings. Buildings stand for a substantial part of the total energy consumption in developed countries, and with an increased focus on cost reductions and energy savings, it is necessary to use intelligent and energy-efficient controllers. Accurate models describing the dynamics of the building system is a good basis for intel
