Until recently, the general level of detail in full car crash models has not allowed a physical modeling of rubber bushings with solid elements. This is partly because of the difficulty in modeling the complex characteristic of rubber, but also due to limited understanding of the mechanical properties of rubber materials. The main focus of this Master’s thesis project is to develop a new and im

A rising problem within electronics today is that, since the frequencies have increased dramatically, it is now very difficult to measure signals. If a traditional probe is used, then the direct contact will destroy the signal. The general idea behind this master thesis project is to make use of the crosstalk between transmission lines to create non contact test points. This thesis aims to evaluat

Klimatmönstren världen över förändras och med dessa den globala distributionen och mängden av landbundet kol, dvs vegetationen som bland annat nyttjas som mat och fiber. Också I sig självt en viktig faktor i klimatets utveckling genom dess roll i energi- och vattenkretsloppen. Vetskap om kvantitet och distribution av landbundet kol och hur detta förändras är en viktigt del av arbetet i att förstå The climatic patterns of the world are changing and with them the spatial distribution of global terrestrial carbon; the food and fiber of the world and in itself an important factor in the changing climate. Knowledge of how the terrestrial carbon stock is changing, its distribution and quantity, is important in understanding how the patterns of the world are changing and large scale models using

In this Master Thesis different methods for measuring and evaluating surface textures have been investigated and evaluated. A method for digitizing textures called photometric stereo have also been studied. The purpose has been to find methods that can replace or supplement the current method of visual inspection used for surface texture studies by IKEA of Sweden. The suggested methods are going t

Den nya mediemiljön med sociala medier gör det möjligt att konstruera och styra mediebilden av sig själv, men ett ständigt informationsflöde bidrar till en kamp om uppmärksamheten. Det finns flertalet exempel på personer som ständigt figurerar i medierna och som spelar spelet om respekt i offentligheten, men vissa frotterar sig i finrummen medan andra inte gör det. Hur kommer detta sig? Studiens m

The transition towards a sustainable society has become more and more an urban challenge due to a dramatic shift from rural to urban living over the past century. Cities cause environmental and social problems and offer solutions to many sustainability challenges. Living Labs are research infrastructures embedded in a real-life environment, which have recently emerged as a tool for urban governanc

Popular science summary Are aerial drones the future for wild boar crop damage surveys? The wild boars are back, and they have returned in force. This is a rather recent trend since wild boars were extinct in Sweden until the 1970s and since then they have multiplied explosively, spreading all over central and southern Sweden. Their re-appearance has led to conflicts with human interests, namel

Asylum seekers and refugees are one of the most demonised and marginalised social groups in Europe. Ireland's current agenda for dealing with refugees and asylum seekers is inadequate. The government of Ireland is aware of the inadequacy of response and has proposed to make a number of changes that will improve the standard of living for those who chose to apply for inclusion in Ireland.

This present study aims to explore the connection between social relationships with colleagues and intrinsic motivation at work. The sample consisted of 111 male and female teachers working with 4-9th graders in schools located in the south of Sweden. Data was collected using a web-based questionnaire. Results showed a strong positive correlation between the variable social relationships and the v

Protein design can be used to make better variants of a protein by changing the primary structure of proteins. An assay is needed to select for a better protein variant, generally these assays work on proteins with an activity. But sometimes proteins are designed to obtain a specific structure instead of an activity or function. These proteins often have no activity and there is no easy way to sel

Långt innan barnet säger sitt första ord börjar det analysera världen runt sig och mycket energi läggs på att forma kategorier för objekt, personer, situationer och händelser. Allt eftersom barnet bygger upp sitt lexikon krävs ytterligare kategorisering, även utifrån abstraktionsnivå. Skolåldern innebär nya möjligheter för barnet att utveckla sitt lexikon, både vad gäller storlek och organisation.

RNA interference (RNAi) has recently been discovered in the budding yeast Saccharomyces castellii. As in other organisms, artificial RNAi could be a useful genetic tool in budding yeast, but the method needs first to be established. S. castellii is also a useful model for telomerase studies, and a knockdown of the telomerase catalytic subunit Est2p could be a new way of unrevealing its functions a

The aim of this intervention study was to investigate possible effects of dialectical behavior therapy skills training (DBT-ST) for staffs at a residential treatment center for patients with serious mental illness. Eighteen staffs divided in two groups were assessed before and after participation in DBT-ST. The intervention lasted one year for each group. Mean number of self-injuries each month we

This thesis addresses many issues surrounding the simple question: why have trams? With city populations exponentially growing alongside concerns over the environment and the economy, tramways have become a resurging form of sustainable transportation for municipalities. Once an endangered transportation mode, torn up and scrapped to make room for the age of cars, tramways are phoenix artifacts of
