Engine efficiency is often controlled in an indirectway through combustion timing control. This requires a prioriknowledge of where to phase the combustion for differentoperating points and conditions. With cylinder individual efficiencyestimation, control strategies aiming directly at fuelconsumption optimization can be developed. It has previouslybeen shown that indicated efficiency can be estim
Sound and radio can be used to estimate the distance between a transmitter and a sender by correlating the emitted and received signal. Alternatively by correlating two received signals it is possible to estimate distance difference. Such methods can be divided into methods that are robust to noise and reverberation, but give limited precision and sub-sample refinements that are sensitive to noiseSound and radio can be used to estimate the distance between a transmitter and a sender by correlating the emitted and received signal.

The Swedish crime genre is experiencing an intense period of change at the moment. Crime writers appear to be at the forefront when it comes to the issue of how to reach international audiences, how to promote books and author’s brands through events, and how to create a successful life as a writer. The working conditions, as well as the content of what is sold and marketed to the readers have gon
When corporations are faced with accusations of crime, they usually find it necessary to justify their actions to the public, the media and their shareholders. Corporate self-defense, aimed at protecting a corporation’s image and legitimacy, belongs to a broader category of offenders’ denials and neutralizations. The objective of this article is to compile and discuss literature that is of value fWhen corporations are faced with accusations of crime, they usually find it necessary to justify their actions to the public, the media and their shareholders.

The prevalence of metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is rapidly increasing all over the world. Frequent episodes of elevated postprandial blood glucose have been associated with oxidative stress and subclinical inflammation, and the importance of a tight glycaemic control has been identified as an important factor to maintain health and prevent T2DM, obesity and cardiovascuThe prevalence of metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is rapidly increasing all over the world.

Materialvariation i gråjärn diskuteras vanligtvis utifrån metallurgi eller bearbetbarhet, medan dess konsekvenser för produktionsflödet och styckkostnaden är mindre systematiskt karaktäriserade. Detta examensarbete undersöker hur sammansättningsvariation i gråjärn propagerar genom bearbetningsrespons till produktionssystemets beteende, och kvantifierar de resulterande ekonomiska konsekvenserna perMaterial variability in grey cast iron is usually discussed in terms of metallurgy or machinability, while its consequences for production-flow behaviour and per-part economics are less systematically characterised. This thesis investigates how compositional variability in grey cast iron propagates through machining response into production-system behaviour, and quantifies the resulting per-part e
Co-production, as a mechanism with collaborative and voluntary nature within the service-oriented logic framework, presents different characteristics in the event of system collapse. When the service infrastructure fails, if the authorities withdraw from the frontline, leaving a gap that disrupts the normal contracts of services.

Syftet med denna undersökning är att bidra med kunskap kring lärande och hur det är kopplat till självförtroende, självuppfattning och normer i undervisningen. Jag har valt att intervjua studenter från Musikhögskolan i Malmö, där jag för närvarande själv studerar till musiklärare. Studien utgår från studenternas perspektiv och är avgränsad till två huvudområden, undervisning i gehör och notläsninThe aim with this study is to try to contribute to the common knowledge about how learning is connected to self-confidence, and how norms and expectations influence a learning environment. I have interviewed students from Malmö Academy of Music (Sweden), where I am currently finishing my studies in music teacher education. The study assumes a student’s point of view, and is framed a round two sub
AbstractEyestrain is a common issue when performing visually demanding work, often accompanied by neck and shoulder strain, as well as visual problems such as dim vision. The aim of this paper is to investigate the association between eyestrain and musculoskeletal strain, as well as the association between eyestrain and visual symptoms. Two regression analyses were conducted on subjective ratings Eyestrain is a common issue when performing visually demanding work, often accompanied by neck and shoulder strain, as well as visual problems such as dim vision.

Climate change is an important new challenge for local authorities. This study analyses the potential for using the Swedish mandatory process for risk and vulnerability analysis (RVA) as a vehicle to improve local climate adaptation work. An advantage with RVA is its comprehensive approach in dealing with all relevant threats and all vital functions of society. In order to test the applicability o
The structure tensor is a powerful tool describing the local intensity structure of an image or image sequence. In this paper we give a model for the noise distribution of the components of the tensor. In order to do so we have also investigated some properties of the gamma distribution. We show that, given an input image corrupted with Gaussian noise, the noise in the structure tensor can be mode
Syftet med uppsatsen är att belysa hur musiklärarstudenter ser på genus, identitetsskapande och musik, hur de påverkas av lärares normer och värderingar samt om utbildningen ger dem metoder att som framtida lärare motverka traditionella könsmönster och låta elever oavsett kön få samma möjligheter, då detta står i styrdokumenten för grund- och gymnasieskola. Sjuttionio lärarstudenter har svarat på Title: Gender equality taken for granted? A study of how music teacher students view gender, identity and music. The purpose of this paper is to illustrate how students at the music teacher program view gender, identity and music, the influence of teachers' standards and values, and if the training gives them the methods they need in their future roles as teachers to counteract traditional gen
Strukturella och petrologiska studier av komplext veckade mafiskt- och felsiskt varvade sekvenser har genomförts i den paraautoktona delen av Svekonorvegiska provinsen i sydvästra Sverige. Tre deformationsfaser (D1, D2, D3) innefattande minst två veckfaser (F2, F3) och två lineationsfaser (L2, L3) karakteriserar ett flerfasigt veck i migmatiserad och mycket kompetent granatamfibolit. Denna enhet vStructural and petrological studies on complexly folded mafic and felsic layered sequences have been mapped in the parautochthonous basement of the Sveconorwegian Province, Sweden. Three deformation phases (D1, D2, D3)involving at least two fold phases (F2, F3) and two lineation phases (L2, L3) characterize a polyphase fold, which is primarily defined by a migmatized and highly competent garnet am
The aim of this comparative study is to examine difficulties in translation of stylistic levels in children's literature from Swedish to Modern Standard Arabic. The study concentrates on one chapter from the famous and in its time controversial children's book about Pippi Långstrump and the Arabic translation of the same chapter. The essay starts with discussing different norms and linguis
Cryptocurrencies are on the rise, with new financial assets, new frameworks need to be developed. This thesis sets out to the examine the GARCH(1,1), the bivariate-BEKK(1,1), and the Standard stochastic volatility model’s volatility forecasting performance on BTC/USD, where the bivariate model is estimated on both BTC/USD and ETH/USD closing price data. Furthermore, three loss functions are used t
This thesis examines how the Climate Justice Movement in Germany is set up today and how activists relate to and feel about their activism. Specifically, factors are investigated that make people feel unhappy about their activism or even leave the movement. Furthermore, potential changes of the movement in order to become a healthier and more sustainable environment for activists are suggested. Pa
This study analyses the processes of constructing masculinity and fatherhood among a sample of stay-at-home fathers in Turkey. Firstly, social construction of reality theory was used to describe the construction process of the fathers’ identities. Then, hegemonic masculinity and performativity theories were applied in order to analyse the masculinity practices and performances. How the Turkish sta
