The purpose of this report is to evaluate a direct driven permanent magnet motor in high accuracy position and low speed operation. Actuation in this case is usually accomplished by stepping motors combined with belts and pulleys. High accuracy positioning is considered to be within 0.1 degrees and low speed 0.05 degrees per second, while at the same time have a 180 degree step response within 0.5

Both e-commerce and m-commerce has had and have a big impact on how business today is operated. Furthermore, e-commerce is responsible for creation of many new jobs and its role to the overall economy in Europe is becoming increasingly important. E-commerce is a big part of retail and commerce and is constantly growing. However it is maybe not equally well known that the latest year mobile commerc

Jord i anslutning till skjutbanor innehåller ofta mycket höga blyhalter. Blyföroreningarna medför ett ökat upptag av bly i de växter som växer i jord från skjutbanor. Matväxter från skjutbanor kan kraftigt överskrida gränsvärdena för bly i livsmedel. För växterna medför blyexponeringen en omfördelning av biomassa, från rötter till skott. Bly är en tungmetall, och är giftig för såväl växter som djThis study investigates how lead content and bioavailability in soil affects growth and root/shoot ratio in three commonly cultivated species: wheat (Triticum turgidum), clover (Trifolium) and radish (Raphanus sativus). The study investigates the levels at which soil lead content contribute to toxic effects in plants, and when it may pose a risk to consumers. In addition, lead accumulation and the

Mot bakgrund av rådande kunskapsparadigm inom barnpsykiatrin samt förändringar i samhällets syn på barns psykiska hälsa avsåg studien att undersöka föräldrars syn på orsaker till ADHD och om denna kunde kopplas till behandlingsönskemål. Avsikten var att utröna om det fanns ett behov av behandlingsinsatser som adresserade mer än barnets ADHD-problematik. Studien genomfördes som en enkätstudie (N = Given the paradigms which are currently predominant in child and adolescent psychiatry and the changes in the societal view of children’s psychological health, this study examined parental attitudes towards the causes of ADHD and if these were related to choices of treatment. The aim of the study was to determine whether there was a need for treatment which addressed more than just the ADHD sympto

Återanvändning av regnvatten för att förbättra Gaborones vattensituation Gaborone, liksom större delen av södra Botswana, lider av extrem vattenbrist. Torka och uteblivna regnperioder har gjort att vatten nu måste transporteras långa sträckor för att täcka stadens behov. Den ansträngda vattensituationen talar för att använda alternativa vattenkällor, däribland återanvändning av regnvatten. Den sThis master thesis was partly performed as a field study in Gaborone, the capital city of Botswana, located in southern Africa. The semi-arid climate in Botswana together with a rapid financial development in the country during the last decades has increased the need for water. The last years the water situation has been strained in Gaborone, and Gaborone dam which used to be one of the city’s dri

Diabetes Mellitus is a generic term for metabolic diseases were insulin levels are insufficient and in type 2 Diabetes Mellitus insulin also fails to stimulate glucose uptake. Recent findings indicate that cells from the innate immune system could be involved in development of both type 1 and type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Basophilic granulocytes are part of the innate immune system and contribute to h

Området för hemlig avlyssning av elektronisk kommunikation (hemlig teleavlyssning) och hemlig övervakning av elektronisk kommunikation (hemlig teleövervakning) är ett område som tidvis vållar stor debatt bland jurister och även bland allmänheten. få EU-rättsliga akter har nog varit så medialt uppmärksammade som datalagringsdirektivet som nyligen ogiltigförklarades av Europeiska unionens domstol. DThe area of covert interception of electronic communication (telephone tapping) and covert surveillance of electronic communication (covert telephone surveillance or metering) is an area which at times causes much debate in the legal profession and among the general public as well. There are probably few legal acts of the European Union that have received as much attention in the media as the Data

Syftet med denna studie är att identifiera potentiellt problematiska aspekter av Militära underrättelse- och säkerhetstjänstens (MUST) sociala struktur, samt att belysa samspelet mellan organisationskultur och förändringsarbete. Studien görs utifrån underrättelseanalytikerns perspektiv och fokus är på det som är relevant för den analytiska processen. Studien har en kvalitativ ansats, där datainsamThe purpose of this study is to identify potentially problematic aspects of the Military Intelligence and Security Service (MUST) social structure, as well as highlighting the relationship between organizational culture and change management. The study has a qualitative approach and is based on the perspective of the intelligence analyst, with focus on relevance to the analytical process. The theo

"We shall make it easy for the customer to choose the right for a sustainable development". An analysis of the two fuel companies' communication of responsibilities regarding climate and envi-ronmental issues. This master thesis examines how two fuel companies rhetorically communicates its view of responsibility for environmental and climate issues on their websites. In order to prov

Bakgrund: Den här studien undersöker elevers upplevelse av ljudmiljön i grundskolan. Forskning visar att dålig ljudmiljö försämrar bland annat taluppfattning och arbetsminne. Man har sett att barn påverkas i större utsträckning än vuxna men det finns få studier som undersöker hur de själva upplever ljudmiljön. En enkät utvecklades 2013 i England för att undersöka detta. Syftet med denna studie är

This study presents U-Pb baddeleyite ages for five dolerite dykes and one sill in the Mesoarchean granitic basement of south-easternmost Kaapvaal Craton in northern KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. The oldest dyke is ENE-trending, and is dated to 2729 ± 5 Ma. One ENE- and two SE-trending dyke are dated to 2580 ± 3 Ma, 2574 ± 5 Ma and ˃2517 ± 5 Ma (minimum age for the latter given by the 207Pb/206Pb da

In this report, a method was developed for quantitative validation of alternative fire protection designs. The report shows that uncertainties in calculations for fire protection and the fire protection devices in buildings are not often taken into account. If the method are used correctly it can serve as a guidance for quantitative validation of alternative fire protection. The method consists of

The state of Akwa Ibom, Nigeria is known as one of the wetlands rich in biodiversity as well as oil and gas reserves. Its wetland ecosystem is noted for its primary support it has provided for the people living in this area. However, this wetland has also been a reservoir for Nigeria’s crude oil contributing a prominent share of petroleum product to the country’s GDP, total revenue to the governme

The aggregation of proteins into amyloid fibrils via erroneous folding, also known as misfolding, occurs in several diseases. As a consequence, the study of the kinetics and thermodynamics of this process is currently intensely pursued. Here, we study a minimalistic lattice-based model for amyloid formation using Monte Carlo techniques to sample the grand canonical ensemble, where the chemical pot

The bearing capacity of road E22 from Hurva to Linderöd is analyzed using data from Falling Weight Deflectometer, FWD. A new method called Traffic Speed Deflectometer, TSD, is analyzed and compared to data from FWD to determine the application range of the new method. In addition to these analyzes, various bearing capacity dimensions are explained and used for both methods. From the FWD data a bac
