Every year in Sweden approximately 50 people die due to work related injuries. The development of non deadly injuries at work, however, has been varying. Between 1980 and 2008 it's been decreasing while, during the last 10 years, the number of injuries has instead increased. It is of interest to see why the number of occupational injuries has been increasing as well as understanding if there e

What is a home in the wild? What do we need for our hike? What can we learn from those who have travelled these lands for hundreds of years before us? This project is an exploration of how to create contemporary hiking shelters, through the process of experimentation and learning form nomadic highland architecture. This project seeks to capture the fluidity of the Swedish highlands and it wants t

This master thesis was performed at the company BAE Systems Hägglunds AB, Örnsköldsvik, Sweden. Hägglunds has its main market within the defense industry and is the developers and manufacturers of the combat vehicle CV90 and the terrain vehicle BvS10. Since a few years back, Hägglunds has investigated the potential to apply its technologies from these vehicles to a product for the civil market. Th

The main focus of this Master Thesis is the development and evaluation of an actuation system that controls a variable compressor for the automotive industry. This variation allows the compressor to produce different boost pressures on demand. Before the development process could start a theoretical analysis of the different forces acting on the system were conducted. These analyses consisted of a

Due to their outstanding mechanical properties, fibre reinforced materials allow a substantial reduction of mass for modern vehicles, thus making energy-efficient mobility viable. However, the cost for material and manufacturing of parts made out of carbon exceed the allowable costs for a broad market. New preforming technologies offer a potential to manufacture composite parts in a highly automat

This report is the product of my master thesis in technical design with a focus on product development. The project was done in co-operation with Wayne, who produces and sells fuel dispensers and are a part of General Electrics, at their Malmö office in Sweden. For their latest line of fuel dispensers, Helix, they were in need of a system for describing different configurations for the barrier, an

This master thesis covers the process followed in the re-design and optimization of a structural part in a supercar. The part reviewed is the Rear Cross Frame currently in production of all Koenigsegg’s supercars. In the new revision of the part, the material is Carbon Fiber. The version currently in production is made of steel. The shape has been modified to fit the Carbon Fiber manufacturing req

Abstract Det senmoderna samhället karakteriseras av en riktning mot ett alltmer individualiserat samhälle. Detta påverkar såväl organisationer som individer. Extra utsatta i denna samhällsutveckling är organisationerna som verkar inom tredje sektorn då de bygger på ett kollektivistiskt förhållningssätt och en solidarisk ideologi. Vi har valt att se närmare på denna utveckling inom organisationen

Syfte: Studien ämnar att skapa en djupare förståelse för individanpassad marknadsföring och hur individanpassade annonser påverkar individers positiva målgruppsresons i form av individers klickintention. Metod: Studiens metod grundar sig i en kvalitativ forskningsmetod med en hermeneutiskt fenomenologiskt strategi. Den forskningsansats som använts är av abduktiv karaktär. Teoretiska perspektiv

Denna uppsats ämnar att studera de politiska och kulturella konsekvenserna i Polen efter flygkraschen av Tu-154 i Smolensk 10/4-2010 där den polske presidenten Lech Kaczyński tillsammans med första damen och stora delar av den polska politiska, militära, kulturella och civila eliten omkom, utifrån teorin om kulturell trauma. Detta genomförs med en analys av diskursen kring ämnet grundad i Polens s

2016-2018, a national user-led organization within the psychiatric field in Sweden established a partnership-based model regarding the implementation and management of peer support within psychiatric health care units. This study was based on a user-led organization and a psychiatric health care organization about to initiate such a partnership. The aim was to examine how these parties constructed

Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to examine the impact of diverse boards with one, two, three or more women in limited companies founded in Sweden in 2010 on financial performance. Firm’s characteristics as board’s gender distribution, net sales, ROE, board size and number of employees will be examined aiming to understand how these boards are composed in terms of gender diversity and the im

Den vanligaste typen av kantzon som finns i jordbruket idag är kantzoner täckta av gräs. Dessa monokulturer utgör en del av ett större problem i jordbrukslandskapet. Ändrad markanvändning och användningen av bekämpningsmedel och konstgödsel leder idag till en minskad biodiversitet och att dyrbara ekosystemtjänster går förlorade. Etableringen av kantzoner berikade med blommande örter visade sig genWithin the agricultural landscape, food production has been rendered more efficient through mechanization and the use of pesticides and fertilisers. These developments has had a negative impact on the biodiversity and the ecosystem services that a high biodiversity contributes to. The establishment of field margins can improve the biodiversity and ecosystem services such as pollination and biologi

The present study aimed to clarify the influence of experimentally induced feelings of security through security priming on avoidant attentional processing. Although security priming has been linked with various positive cognitive and emotional outcomes, its influence at an early attentional stage is unclear. Here, we focused on attachment avoidance since it has been linked to maladaptive attentio

Minimizing changeover times are considered critical by manufacturing industries to decrease non value adding processes, while at the same time being able to respond to changing customer requirements quickly. It is a hard task to manage but in this case a critical part was identified within a package manufacturing machine. The goal was then to find out if this specific part could be redesigned to s

This report depicts the design development of a modular tool used in the creasing process of packaging material. The aim of the new design is to decrease the setup time while at the same time increase the degree of customization to create new packaging designs for small series production which is difficult with the current tool. Multiple design concepts for the new tool were generated from explori
