En öppen dagvattenhantering, avledning av dagvatten med fri vattenyta, medför en mängd positiva egenskaper på avrinningen som naturlig rening, fördröjning samt reducering samtidigt som den bidrar till en vackrare stadsmiljö. Det finns många goda exempel på områden med anlagda öppna dagvattensystem. Ett sådant är Augustenborg, Malmö, där man genom anläggning av ett fullskaligt, öppet dagvattensyste

Proceeding from recycled tires, benefit from the typical properties of rubber, transcribed into a product that fits the context of a balcony. A lamp is the conclusion, attached to be efficient in various situations and on different railings. Rubber is suitable for an illumination to stand hard weather conditions and tough treatment. The lamp in shape of a loop is easy to move around. It is elastic

This report covers the process and result in developing a hand hygiene station for a public environment. With disease spread getting more focus in todays media and society, we wanted to explore and develop a product that is helpful in decreasing the disease spread in our global society. Research was mainly conducted by information gathering from second hand sources, such as scientific- and trend

Individens vardagliga medieanvändning ökar vilket leder till en förändrad kommunikationskultur. Ny medieteknik och nya medier skapar nya behov vilket i sin tur leder till förändrade normer och bryderier. Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur socialiteten påverkas som ett resultat av vårt dagliga medieanvändande. För att nå en förståelse för dessa förändringar har nio semistrukturerade intervjuer

In this work the major models for calculating diffusion in simulations of a laminar premixed hydrogen flame, the mixture averaged approximation and the multicomponent model, are explained and compared. This is done in order to see if the accuracy gained in implementing the multicomponent model is enough to warrant the increased workload the transition will cause. The models are used to calculate

Syftet med denna kvalitativa studie är att belysa patienters upplevelse av akupunkturbehandling i vuxenpsykiatrisk öppenvård. Semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med tolv patienter och efter induktiv innehållsanalys framkom fem teman: förväntningar, behandlingstimmen, efter behandlingstimmen, faktorer som påverkar samt akupunktur som behandling. Resultatet visar att patienterna var nöjda med

Popular science summary: Huntington’s disease (HD) is a rare disease but more commonly found in ethnic populations belonging to Europe and North America than in those of Asian or African ancestry. This disease causes loss of neurons in different areas of the brain, that gives rise to different behavioural changes and psychological disturbances including involuntary movements and depression. The

This Master’s Thesis shows how to model the kinematics and forward dynamics for the parallel kinematic robot from ABB, IRB340 FlexPicker, and how to implement the control using software and hardware from B&R Automation. With conventional methods the forward kinematics, inverse kinematics and the kinematics for the velocities and accelerations of the robot are modelled. The forward dynamics, ca

The advantages with infrared heating and the fact that the technology has become significantly more inexpensive opens up a bigger interest to develop products using infrared heaters further. What will the future kitchen look like? How can infrared technology develop and create more conventional and intellectual products processing our food? By pushing the limits of the technology today the main

Transboundary river basins provide inhabitance and water resources to millions of people around the globe and they are a source of dispute among neighbor countries also. This thesis focuses on the snow melt and runoff modeling of a small transboundary river, Talas; using a physically distributed rainfall-runoff model, TOPKAPI-ETH. Investigation on the use of remotely sensed precipitation estimates

Climatic condition is what ultimately frames all ecosystems and is now undergoing dramatic change. IPCC models predict, in 100 years, a temperature increase between 2-5 ˚C and, as a consequence of warmer and wetter conditions, increased humic content in northern temperate freshwater systems. To study the impact of increasing temperature and humic content on shallow freshwaters a long-term outdoor

In my essay, I try to explore and understand the importance of the physical body of actors. How common is “type casting”? Does actors get selected for different parts due to their looks? To investigate these questions I made interviews with actors, directors and other people who work with theater.

The aim of this thesis has been the examination of the productivity growth patterns through the process of structural change and within sectors productivity improvements for Finland over the period of 1975 to 2011. By connecting theories of “General Purpose Technologies”, “Creative Destruction”, and “Techno-economic paradigm” with the ICT emergence, the notion of ICT intensity sectors had emerged

Olika erfarenheter av musikskapande tillsammans med läroplanens kunskapskrav har bidragit till intresset för denna studie, som undersöker det digitala musikskapandets betydelse i musikundervisningen. Syftet med undersökningen är att se om det digitala musikskapandet kan vara ett bra alternativ och komplement till det mer traditionella och om det kan tillföra något till musikskapande i skolan. FrågDifferent experiences together with the new curriculum for elementary school, created an interest which partly lead to this thesis, examining the importance of digital music making in the musical education. The purpose is to examine digital music creation as an alternative way of creating music and the contribution of it to music creation in elementary school. The following questions were used in

Denna uppsats är dels en utvecklad verkkommentar till det praktiska iscensättningsarbete med titeln "Installagrafi scenotion" som jag genomförde under hösten 2013, och dels en undersökning i hur den dramaturgiska förståelsen av ett verk kan gestaltas i en grafisk modell.This essay is partly a commentary to my work with the staging of the project "Installagrafi scenotion" which I did in autumn 2013, and partly an investigation in how the dramaturgical understanding of a staged artwork can be displayed through a graphic model.
