Rapporten beskriver utvecklingsarbetet av funktionen att manövrera en ramp som satt placerad på ett stridsfordon. Rampen satt monterad på den bakre gaveln på stridsfordonet CV90 som tillverkades av BAE Systems Hägglunds i Örnsköldsvik. Där har examensarbetet genomförts under våren 2015. I den bakre delen utav stridsfordonet så fanns det ett utrymme för att transportera åtta soldater. De tog sig i

Plattektoniska processer formar idag vår jord genom vulkanism, relaterad till divergenta och konvergenta plattrörelser. Hur länge har plattektoniken existerat och hur kan vi spåra plattektoniska processer bakåt i tiden? Detta kandidatarbete behandlar och diskuterar olika typer av plattektoniska indikatorer, hur de går att koppla till moderna processer och hur tillförlitliga de anses vara. Moderna Plate tectonic processes shapes our earth due to volcanism, related to divergent and convergent plate motions. When did plate tectonics begin and how can we trace plate tectonic processes throughout time? This Bachelor thesis address and discuss different plate tectonic indicators and their reliability. Modern analogues are indicators that can be linked to modern plate tectonic processes, and does

No country has yet achieved full gender equality and one of the reasons is the stereotypical attitudes towards characteristics and roles of men and women. International community has acknowledged that gender stereotypes are an obstacle to full realisation of human rights of women and men and the obligation to tackle those has been included in the Convention on Elimination of all Forms of Discrimin

This study contributes to fill the gap in the existing community health worker literature by offering a more nuanced perspective on performance motivation of healthcare workers from rural South Africa. Specifically, it focuses on the various work incentives and perceived organization support that shape work performance of healthcare workers and, therefore, organizational effectiveness. By followin

Cooperative and reciprocal practices within agriculture have been widely discussed as important strategies in order to reduce risks and costs of labour and capital acquisition. Within the Andes reciprocal norms appear to be particularly institutionalized due to their historical rootedness in Andean culture. With the present case study I sought to examine reciprocal exchange practices in agricultur

Biotechnology has been regarded as the problem child of modern Patent Law for a long time. The legislation concerning biotechnology is in constant fluctuation, changing as the case law constantly develops. This leads up to uncertainty regarding what is to be considered as patentable, and what is not. Even today, no stable solution has been found. Furthermore, ethical concerns are given a place w

This thesis included an energy and moisture analysis of an existing 70’s villa. This villa is located in Bjärred, Lomma municipality. The Reference house is a single storey with a foundation of concrete slab and is part of a community association of 20 similar villas’. The work included different types of analyzes and measurements of the villa. A literature study was done to get a better view of t

Med anledning av offentlig upphandling kan det emellanåt förekomma att leverantören på olika sätt vilseleder myndigheten för att på oriktig grund antingen teckna ramavtal med myndigheten eller av myndigheten erhålla ett upphandlingskontrakt. Problematiken med olika former av vilseledande får antas vara större vid offentlig upphandling än vid vanliga B2B-relationer på grund av det strikta regelverkOccasionally when a contracting authority is about to award a public contract or conclude a framework agreement with a supplier, the supplier somehow misleads the contracting authority in order to receive the public contract or the framework agreement. Due to the rigorous regulatory system that distinguish public procurement one can expect the misleading to be a problem of greater importance than

Det internationella immaterialrättsliga rättssystemet har etablerats på grundsatsen att immaterialrättigheter är territoriella och därmed begränsade sett till innehåll och omfång till respektive skyddsland. Den territoriella begränsningen bekräftas av bl.a. Bernkonventionen och Pariskonventionen på området och är väl förankrad i svensk rätt, dock väldigt sällan i lagtext. Eftersom immaterialrättigThe international intellectual property system has been established on the principle that intellectual property rights are territorial and therefore limited, with respect to content and scope, to the country of protection. The territorial limitation in intellectual property law is enshrined in the Berne Convention and the Paris Convention and is well rooted in Swedish law, albeit to a large extent

PPC is a new combustion concept that combines high efficiency with low emissions. This thesis is based on experiments conducted with a heavy duty PPC engine that was ran on neat methanol. A fuel that might be a candidate for future engine propulsion in large scale. By varying the inlet pressure, the corresponding inlet temperatures were found for premixed combustion, i.e. combustion in HCCI mode.

This thesis investigates a possible extension to the Standard Model: the Chirally Symmetric Technicolor Model. The motivation is to explain the origin of the electroweak interaction scale by introducing a new interaction. The thesis is based on the two-flavour Technicolor model presented in ”Chiral-Symmetric Technicolor with Standard Model Higgs boson” by Pasechnik et. al. [1], and extends it to t

Title: Job motivation in high-tech knowledge work- the unintended detrimental role of management Seminar Date: 4th June 2015 Course: FEKH49 Author: Chaitra Harish Bhat Supervisor: Sverre Spoelstra Key Words: Knowledge Worker, Intrinsic Motivation, Extrinsic Motivation, Priority Task, Recognition. Purpose: The purpose of this research is to critically examine the role of intrinsic motivation in kno

Companies selling industrial machines are seeing a shift where profits are moving from new sales, towards retrieving revenue throughout the whole customer life cycle. Instead of selling new machines, the companies in the industry need to look towards what is referred to as “the aftermarket”. The aftermarket is the part of the market where spare-parts and maintenance services are sold to existing c

Uppsatsen tar avstamp i SOM-insitutets mätning från 2014 som visade att en majoritet av de tillfrågade ansåg att svenska medier inte berättar sanningen om samhällsproblem kopplade till frågor som rör migration- och flyktingpolitik. Samtidigt som med misstroendet mot medierna breder ut sig fortsätter digitaliseringen av medielandskapet vilket leder till en allt mer diversifierad nyhetskonsumtion. DThis essay builds on a public opinion poll from 2014 indicating that a majority of the Swedish citizens believe that mainstream media are hiding “the truth” about social problems related to issues of migration and refugee policy. The outspread distrust of mainstream media takes place during a time of continuing digitalization of the media landscape, which has led to increasingly diversified news c

Pålitliga simuleringar av komponenters hållfasthet kräver att materialets egenskaper studeras ordentligt. Gummi med fyllmedel uppvisar olika egenskaper beroende på tillämpning. I denna studie undersöks möjligheten att använda förenklingar vid simulering av materialets egenskaper.The aim of this study was to examine if simplified linear analysis can be used to capture the complex and non-elastic behaviour that filled rubber exhibits. Linear analysis includes both linear elastic material models and a linear solving technique. The studied part in this thesis was a hose, connecting the air-inlet and turbo in a Scania truck engine. The studied material was a filled EPDM-rubber

Hur renoverar vi en 70-talsvilla så att dagens krav på energianvändning nås? Vad finns det för tänkbara åtgärder med detta i åtanke och med hänsyn till eventuella fuktproblem? Vad är våra rekommendationer efter denna studie för referenshuset samt för hus av liknande typ från 70-talet? Målet med studien är att ta fram förslag på en bättre konstruktion dels för referenshuset och dels för 70-talshus

Promoters of improved cook stove technologies (ICS) argue that the use of these technologies offers several benefits such as improved health, fuel saving, reduction in green house gases emissions among others. Many of the studies exploring the use of improved cook stoves reveal a strong pro-diffusion bias towards these benefits, and few studies have investigated the adoption and use of ICS from th
