Att leva med en cervikal ryggmärgsskada innebär många begränsningar i vardagen, inte minst när det gäller något så simpelt som att greppa ett objekt. Personer med cervikal ryggmärgsskada kan modifiera eller använda speciellt anpassade vardagsföremål för att göra det enklare att greppa dem. Det är viktigt att anpassa föremålen utifrån individens förmågor och begränsningar. Tendo är ett företag som Living with a cervical spinal cord injury entails many limitations in everyday life, not least when it comes to something as simple as gripping an object. Individuals with a cervical spinal cord injury can modify or use specially adapted everyday objects to make gripping them easier. It is important to customize the objects based on the individual's abilities and limitations. Tendo is a compan

Statistical modelling could be included in a betting strategy where the value of a bet is assessed by comparing model predictions and market odds.

Thesis Purpose: This thesis aims to explore the complex phenomenon of female character representation, both quantity and portrayal, in video games and which factors either inhibit or enhance the creation and how. Methodology: A qualitative study with an inductive approach, designed to answer the research question “How do different factors contribute to the inclusion or exclusion of female charact

Modern portfolio theory was pioneered by Markowitz who formulated the mean-variance problem, without which any discussion on quantitative approaches to portfolio selection would be incomplete. The framework boils down to finding the expected return $\mu$ and covariance $\Sigma$, after which the solution is proportional to $\Sigma^{-1}\mu$. Although the problem is simple at heart, finding estimates

This thesis examines the perceptions of Japan among Euro-American international students and investigates how these perceptions influence their motivation to study in the country. By exploring the relationship between popular culture, orientalist depictions, and cultural engagement, this study aims understand the complex dynamics which shape these students' attraction to Japan and their unders

Heterogenous catalysts consist of a large surface area support material applied with the catalytic active phase, and the activity of a catalyst is often correlated to the surface area per volume. Support materials often need to be processed further to be optimal for specific processes. For example, powders can be suitable for minireactors or fluidized-bed reactors. However, in a fixed-bed reactor,

Antalet högutbildade i Sverige ökar ständigt, och i takt med att allt fler väljer att utbilda sig på universitet växer även intresset för olika aspekter relaterade till studenters välmående. Den här studien har som syfte att dyka djupare in i begreppet välmående, mer specifikt till underbegreppet livstillfredsställelse, och hur detta förhåller sig till det trendiga men fortfarande underutforskade The number of highly educated people in Sweden is constantly increasing, and as more and more choose to pursue higher education at universities, interest in various aspects related to student well-being is also growing. The purpose of this study is to delve deeper into the concept of well-being, specifically the sub-concept - life satisfaction, and how this relates to the trendy but still underexp

Bostads- och servicesektorn utgör 40 procent av Sveriges totala energianvändning. Endast småhus står för drygt 8 procent. Energin som används i småhus går i huvudsak till uppvärmning och varmvatten. 2020 var direktverkande el den vanligaste energikällan för uppvärmning av småhus (Energimyndigheten 2022). Elpriset har stigit kraftigt under det senaste året. Detta kan eventuellt ha påverkan på boendThe building and service sector consume 40 percent of Sweden’s total energy use. Which of only single-family houses are responsible for 8 percent. The energy used in single family houses mainly goes to heating and hot water. 2020 the most common energy source for heating these buildings was electricity (Energimyndigheten 2022). The energy prices have increased heavily during the last year. This ma

This thesis investigates the influence of trailing edge thickness on noise emission from the NACA64418 airfoil. Numerical simulations using OpenFOAM are conducted to analyse the aerodynamic and acoustic characteristics. The objective is to understand the impact of varying trailing edge thickness on noise levels. The study explores different trailing edge thickness configurations, ranging from thin

It was recently decided that a new hospital is to be built in Växjö. It is important that hospitals can be utilised no matter the circumstances, even in situations of threat. New reports have been published concerning how hospitals are to be designed. In this, it is mentioned that explosions are a threat that should be considered. Due to this, it was investigated however concrete sandwich walls c

Syftet med uppsatsen har varit att undersöka hur fenomenet ”director’s cut” kan komma till uttryck inom litteratur. Detta har undersökts genom en fallstudie med utgångspunkt i följande titlar: A Clockwork Orange, The Stand Complete and Uncut Edition och Life and Death: Twilight Reimagined. Utifrån dessa avsåg uppsatsen att undersöka vad de bakomliggande syftena till utgivningen var, samt hur recep

Det här examensarbetet innefattar framtagningen av ett verktyg som hjälper produktutvecklare designa ergonomiska produkter. Många produkter som idag når tillverkning, eller till och med marknaden, är inte alltid så ergonomiska som det hade kunnat önskas. Emellertid kan dessa problem förebyggas i ett tidigt skede genom väl genomtänkt utformning på produkter och adekvata ergonomiska utvärderingar. DThis master thesis consists of the development of a tool which helps product developers design ergonomic products. Many products which end up being manufactured, or end up on the market, are not as well thought out as one could wish. However, this problem can be prevented at an early stage by well thought out designs and adequate evaluations. This was a topic discussed with Avalon Innovation Techn

Transaktionsvolymerna för fastigheter i Sverige minskade med 42% under 2022, vilket har skapat en brist på referensobjekt för fastighetsvärderingar. Räntehöjningar och ökad inflation har skapat osäkerhet på marknaden och kan leda till stora konsekvenser för långivare och fastighetsföretag, samt den finansiella stabiliteten. Syftet med examensarbetet är att behandla problematiken vid fastighetsvärdThe transaction volumes for properties in Sweden decreased by 42% in 2022, which has created a shortage of reference objects for property valuations. Increased interest rate and inflation have created uncertainty in the market and can lead to significant consequences for lenders and real estate companies, as well as financial stability. The purpose of this thesis is to address the issues with prop

This thesis investigates the impact of varying passive components on the stability of a Formula Student race car. The study was conducted using a 7-post model and a lateral model, both of which were derived using Lagrangian methods and state-space modelling techniques. These models were then validated and adjusted using logged data. The 7-post model was verified through damper displacement and dam
