The aim of the thesis project was partially to map the process of procurement (and associated processes) within the Scalae department of Altran. Scalae works with ”Innovative (or New) Product Development” (IPD/NPD) in outsourced projects which are completely driven by the department following an agreed-upon framework. Purchases made in a project are made by Scalae and eventually forwarded to the c

Music has several functions in the Christian community and worship – it unites people by harmonizing many voices into one, it creates community and shapes identity through its message, and by its piercing beauty it is a sign that indicates and marks out eternity. This essay asks the questions why the small circle of friends with a shared interest in mysticism, Flodbergskretsen, elaborated their ow

The Bogong and Turnip moths are two species of the genus Agrotis, similar in size, but different in life style. The Bogong moth is a long distance migratory species endemic to Australia, whereas the Turnip moth has a wide spread in Africa, Europe and Asia where it is considered a pest. The ocelli are single-lens eyes of the camera type, whose role is still unknown in many insects, including the st

Rehabilitering efter en stroke är viktig för att den drabbade individen ska återfå så stor del av de påverkade kroppsfunktionerna som möjligt. Balansen blir ofta försämrad hos individer som överlevt stroke och behöver stärkas för att inte hindra individen i dennes vardagliga liv. Rehabiliteringsträningen av balansen bör innehålla motivationsfaktorer för att träningen ska ske i tillräckligt stor omThe rehabilitation after a stroke is important for the individual so that the affected body functions recover as much as possible. The balance is often impaired after a stroke and need to be strengthend to not impede the stroke-survivor in the daily life. The rehabilitation training of the balance should include motivation factors for the training to take place in sufficiently large scale. The aim

Water meters provide the basis for generation of monthly water consumption invoices by the utility for all its customers. This makes the water meters an integral part of the utility’s asset base. However, like any asset, these meters sometimes fail to function as expected and may under register or not register any water consumption by the customers. When this happens, the revenues of the utility a

It looks into the ways how members of the AUB Secular Club employ the notion of secularism, and how diversity in the AUB campus facilitates the collecti

I Sverige är höghastighetsjärnvägar ett debatterat ämne. Undersökningsarbeten har startat för det första steget i ett höghastighetsnät – Ostlänken mellan Järna och Linköping – som planeras vara trafikerad år 2028. Höghastighetsjärnvägen är avsedd att tillåta hastigheter på 320 km/h. Vid så höga hastigheter blir dimensioneringskraven för brobanans vibrationer strängare. Tidigare studier har visat aIn Sweden, high-speed railways is a subject for public debate. The first stage of a high-speed train network, Ostlänken between Stockholm and Linköping, is under investigation, and is planned to be trafficked in 2028. The high-speed railway is intended to hold traffic with speeds up to 320 km/h. At such speeds, the design requirements of the accelerations of the bridge superstructure become more s

In the last year Sweden and especially Skåne in Sweden has experienced rapid growth in immigration rates. Combined with already existing levels of immigration, many headlines has screamed out bold words, - “crisis, collapse, racism” and generally questioned the unclear future for Sweden. Immigration has caused increase in population and therefore the need for cities to develop in larger extents. B

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning (1) En stor del av världens befolkning dabbas av cancer någon gång under deras livstid. Cancerceller har en förmåga att bli resistenta mot de cellgifter som används som behandling. Det finns därför en stor efterfrågan av nya substanser som kan hjälpa oss att förstå de fundamentala orsakerna till olika typer av cancer och eventuellt fungera som botemedel. KolhydraAbstract (1) Carbohydrates are a class of biomolecules that play important roles within the cellular biochemistry. Functionalized carbohydrates are building blocks in our DNA in addition to being major components of the cell’s signaling molecules called proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans. Certain carbohydrates with aromatic side chains have been shown to inhibit the biosynthesis of these signali

Riga is the capital of Latvia and the largest city of the Baltic States. Both historically and at present the city is an important infrastructural hub between Eastern and Western Europe, yet the city itself is rather disconnected. The main problem is that the city centre, which was built prior to the industrialisation up to the end 19th century, is currently separated from the new city built in th

Plats Hus Människa: En berättelse är ett examensarbete i arkitektur som redovisar ett byggprojekt på djupet, från den första inspirationen till ett förverkligande i full skala. När man försöker gestalta en sådan komplex process gäller det att begränsa sig genom att ha tydliga ramar. För min egen del så innebär det att jag konsekvent har utgått från en viss skola inom arkitekturen och att jag både Plats Hus Människa: En berättelse (Place House Person: A story) is a master thesis in architecture that describes a project from start to near completion in full scale. Since my personal relation to the site is strong, my point of departure is the phenomenological architecture. This architectural movement emphasizes the importance of place. The main tool of both my investigation of place and my pr

I detta arbete undersöks hur gymnasieelever med gitarr som instrument omsätter kunskaper i gehörs- och musiklära till praktik. Syftet är att undersöka förhållandet mellan teori och spel på det egna instrumentet och att identifiera metoder som kan stärka interaktionen mellan teori och praktik.
