The zoo is a place where you as a visitor can experience and see wild animals which they probably would not encounter elsewhere. It is a place for learning about our planets nature and biodiversity. Many species are rapidly disappearing due to human activity. There are for example more tigers in captivity than there are left in the wild. One of the zoos most important roles is the conservation of

This report describes the development and design of a new concept for a lifting device in Tetra Pak’s R1 filling line. It is important that the problems and challenges with the current design, the Tetra Pak R1 Elevator, is fathomed to get a better understanding of what was aimed to achieve in this thesis and why. The purpose of the Tetra Pak R1 filling line is to automatically fold, fill and seal

I started with the intentions to design a toy. Many of the values I wanted to emphasize are part of or could be applied to the soap-box cart. A traditional soap-box cart is built by hand from bought or collected (left-over) parts and materials. The creation plays a major part in the soapbox concept and I wanted to preserve this. My challenge was to revive the old soap-box cart and adapt it to the

I första hand är det varje vårdnadshavares ansvar att ge sitt barn fostran, kärlek och trygghet. Under vissa förutsättningar kan dock samhället omhänderta ett barn med tvång. Det är vanligt att dessa barn av kommunernas socialnämnder placeras i familjehem. Ett familjehem är ett enskilt hem som barnet tas emot i för att bo och vårdas där. Det ställs särskilt höga krav på dessa barns rättssäkerhet dIn the first place it is the responsibility of every guardian to nurture, love and care for its child. In certain circumstances however, the society may compulsorily take a child into care. It is common for these children to be placed in foster homes by the municipal social services. A foster home is a private home where the child is being received to live and to be cared for. The demands for lega

Digitalisering är en global megatrend som revolutionerar samtliga aspekter av samhället och påverkar i synnerhet företag. Följaktligen har termen Industri 4.0 vuxit inom tillverkningsindustrin. Tillverkningsföretag tillägnar sig i allt större utsträckning digital teknik för att förbättra sina tillverkningsprocesser, underlätta strategiskt beslutsfattande och bli mer hållbara. Skiftet mot en mer diDigitalisation is a global megatrend revolutionising every aspect of society and especially impacting businesses. Consequently, the term Industry 4.0 has emerged in the manufacturing industry. Manufacturing companies are increasingly adopting digital technologies to improve manufacturing processes, inform strategic decision- making and become more sustainable. The change towards a more digital man

Research problem: Participation of each and every person in governance system is a fundamental human right and a basic condition for democratic tenets in society regardless of their physical and socio-economic status in society. Persons with disabilities and women in particular have historically been stigmatized, discriminated and excluded in various decision making processes at global, regional,

As institutional racism and the underrepresentation of BAME have become world-wide central issues, the question of equal opportunities for upward mobility in the labour market and social mobility for this particular community are at the forefront, including the UK context. Evidence suggests that BAME have unequal access to opportunities for career progression in the workplace and that upward mobil

The Department of Automatic Control at Lund University gives a project course in Systems, Control and Learning (FRTN70) twice per year. The course is given at the advanced level (7.5 ECTS credits), and the students work in small teams to achieve a common goal. The projects typically involve a real-world estimation or control problem with relevance to industrial or other applications. In this cours

While therapeutic mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSCs) have usually been obtained from bone marrow, perinatal tissues have emerged as promising new sources of cells for stromal cell therapy. Here we present a first safety follow-up on our clinical experience with placenta-derived decidual stromal cells (DSCs), used as supportive immunomodulatory and regenerative therapy for patients with severe c

Psychiatric casualties among soldiers constitute an inevitable part of modem warfare. For the past hundred years Medicine and Society have shown a growing interest in the combat reactions. The focus has shifted from an organic one towards a psychological and psychiatric perspective. Cultural, social, economical and political forces have influenced the scientific development from the Shell shock to

Objectives Our aim was to use the opportunity provided by the European Scleroderma Observational Study to (1) identify and describe those patients with early diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis (dcSSc) with progressive skin thickness, and (2) derive prediction models for progression over 12 months, to inform future randomised controlled trials (RCTs). Methods The modified Rodnan skin score (mRSS)

In recent years, the flash flood occurs frequently and intensively. It has become a world-wide focus in the field of disaster prevention and mitigation. The flash flood critical rainfall determination method, flash floods forecasting model and experience forecasting method are the most commonly used methods. This study focused on the application of hydrological models for flash floods simulation.T

Denna studie undersöker förutsättningarna för klimatsmart innovation i Region Skåne. Det finns ambitiösa målsättningar från regionens sida inom området, studien tyder dock på att det finns förbättringsåtgärder kring hur dessa ambitioner verkställs i praktiken. Region Skåne har som uttalad målsättning att vara Europas mest innovativa region 2020 och det är uttalat att klimatsmarta lösningar är etThis study examines the conditions for climate-friendly innovation in Region Skåne. It focuses on small companies within the CleanTech-sector with a total annual turnover below 10 MSEK. A short literary study was conducted about the innovation system for Swedish CleanTech-companies in general. Reading material from Region Skåne was also examined. Five interviews was carried out with representative

The study presents a critical analysis of unequal social geographies in the city of Tehran. It aims to identify degrees of access to different aspects of social reproduction with particular attention to the worse-off districts. The issue of unevenness in Tehran has been discussed by Iranian economists and geographers criticizing bad policies, undemocratic state, and corruption. However, political

In the quest to find a ‘least cost solution’ for climate change mitigation that do not interfere with business-as-usual, carbon trading and PES schemes were introduced. PES schemes with carbon forestry projects are implemented in the Global South as a win-win-win tool for climate change mitigation and sustainable development. In this thesis, the Ugandan carbon forestry project Trees for Global Ben

The mobile telecommunication network is growing year after year and it will soon move into the high speed 5G and Internet of Things technology. These new technologies will improve the throughput and data connectivity and due to that the energy consumption in radio and digital units may increase in a Radio Base Station (RBS). There are more than 500 000 off-grid RBSs in the world which are powered

Supply chain management (SCM) and packaging solutions are essential in the food industry due to their impact on the environment and economics, necessitating innovation. How to efficiently move goods through the supply chain therefore involves a complex network involving a great amount of stakeholders and processes. Food distribution logistics are particularly complex, requiring standard procedures
