This rapport is a study in advance of a possible up and coming restoration of the old observatory in Lund. The rapport is based on the possibility that it will be restored to accommodate modern facilities and suit the needs and demands we have on a modern building regarding installations and accessibility. This rapport describes in detail how to transform and renovate the old observatory to house

This thesis is about ”BIM " , it addresses the problems and risks associated with the introduction in Sweden and how the expression is misinterpreted. The work also includes how BIM should be used to achieve profitability and how the different operators relate to it. The Swedish construction industry is today exposed with big problems when it comes to productivity, efficiency, material waste

The silo is a landmark that is known for its unique shape, height and large volume and is now a building that in our big cities threatens extinction. This type of construction is not usually built anymore, all because of new techniques that replaces this kind of large mass grain storages. The intention of the report is to analyze how an industrial building, shaped as a silo can be changed into res

In this thesis we consider a general approach to modeling dependence in extreme values of exchange rates by using copulas. As specific examples the following pairs of currencies are analyzed: Swedish krona to U.S. dollar (SEK/USD), Swedish krona to Euro (SEK/EUR), Swedish krona to British pound (SEK/GBP), Swedish krona to Japanese Yen (SEK/JPY), Swedish krona to Danish krone (SEK/DKK) and Swedish

Syftet med denna uppsats är att bidra med en förståelse för värdebegreppets innebörd i 3PL-branschen. Utifrån detta syfte vill vi studera hur aktörer inom denna bransch uppfattar det värde som kan skapas i relationen mellan företaget och kunden. Studien visar att relationen mellan 3PL-aktör och kund öppnar för flera möjligheter som kan uppfattas som värdeskapande. För att bättre synliggöra hur vär

Inom fältet kvantinformation behandlar man information med hjälp av så kallade kvantmekaniska system, vilket tillför både möjligheter och svårigheter i reella tillämpningar. Ett fundamentalt begrepp är den så kallade kvantbiten, eller qubit som den brukar omnämnas i engelsk litteratur, vilken är den grundläggande komponenten i vilken kvantinformation hanteras, som en direkt analog till biten i en One of the important building blocks in the quantum information field, is the so called quantum memory. Processing is usually performed on quantum information in the form of qubits, which is an analogy to the classical bits in a normal computer. A big concern however is the fact that quantum information which is represented by some quantum state of one or several particles, is easily destroyed by

This master degree project has had the purpose of designing a chair for small scale serial production in Sweden. Origin has been a big focus point, and the wood has been carefully selected to minimise ecological footprint through transportation of the product. Another focus point has been the complicated process of designing a chair that is unique. The report includes the background of the carpent

Epilepsy is a common disease that affects about 1 % of the population. The neurological disease is characterised by episodes of neural hyperactivity (seizures) and neural synchronization that can have behavioural manifestations such as convulsions. Anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs) can be used for treating most cases of epilepsy, but since especially temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) has proven to be drug re

Sammanfattning De senaste åren har Sverige fått kritik från flera internationella organ angående situationen för frihetsberövade barn och i synnerhet de restriktioner som majoriteten av dem har, vilket ofta medför isolering. Häktade barn befinner sig mitt i inledande rättsprocess samtidigt som de befinner sig i denna isolering. Detta påverkar naturligtvis deras deltagande i rättsprocessen. FN:s koSummary Over the past few years, several international bodies has criticised Sweden regarding the situation children in custody face, with special concern about the restrictions, including isolation, that the majority of the children have to endure. While in this isolation, children in custody are in an early stage of their judicial process. The UN's Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC)

I samhällsdebatten talas det ofta om jämställdhet i arbetslivet och om jämställdhet i familjen. Den här uppsatsen gör en ansats att förena de två perspektiven. Jobba jäm(n)t? – uppsatsens titel – är en anspelning på frågeställningar om ett jämställt arbetsliv men är även en kritisk ingång till om det generella arbetstidsmått vi har i Sverige idag är det optimala och hur det påverkar jämställdhetenEquality of opportunity between men and women, either in working or in family life, is a frequent topic of public debate. This essay is an attempt to combine the two perspectives, and scrutinizes whether the general workday schedule in Sweden influences gender equality in general. Questions raised are: Who is working all the time? How is the distribution of paid work and unpaid work at home betwee

Studiens syfte var att undersöka det organisatoriska engagemanget i form av organizational commitment på ett företag som kan ses som typiskt när det gäller att ställa stora krav på den anställda. Vidare var syftet även att analysera relationen mellan organizational commitment och role stressors samt att ringa in de faktorer som företagets anställda upplever som stressande i sitt vardagliga arbete.

The drinking culture of China is well integrated in the Chinese society. In modern China, alcohol plays an important part of the dinner, at the wedding, banquet, when meeting with friends, together with family as well as in the business world. The winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature 2012 was the Chinese author Mo Yan. One of his published books is Jiuguo, a book that is said to describe the co

This Master Thesis contains the whole development process of a basic-intermediate and advanced product lifecycle management (PLM) course for university students. The basic course has been written by Pol Rebenaque we worked together and after he has done the basic part about PLM and integrated between PLM and Creo 2(one of CAD module). I continue working on this course in advance level by investiga

In recent years, there has been an increase of interest in smart grid concept, to adapt the power grid to improve the reliability, efficiency and economics of the electricity production and distribution. One of the generator side problem in this is to meet the power requirement while not wasting unnecessary power, thus keeping the cost down, which must be done while the frequency is kept in a suit

A ubiquitous and accurate positioning system for mobile devices is of great importance both to business and research due to the large number of applications and services it enables. In most outdoor environments this problem was solved by the introduction of the Global Positioning System (GPS). In indoor or suburban areas however, the GPS signals are often too weak to enable a reliable position est

Decreasing fuel consumption and increasing road capacity are both desired in regards to heavy duty vehicles. One proposed way of doing this is by having vehicles travelling at close distances to reduce the air drag, and thereby reducing their fuel consumption. This thesis address the platooning problem on model-scale vehicles as they are a desirable demonstration platform since they can be driven
