With machine control engineering vehicles can be controlled by one or several measuring instruments like total station, GPS or plane laser. Machine control are today used on mainly large infrastructure projects where the advantages are; reduced field measurements, increased effectiveness and precision. Can machine control also be used on small projects and have the same advantages compared to larg
OBJECTIVE: To study the relationship between smoking and chronic pain among people aged 65+ years. DESIGN: A cross-sectional study. SAMPLE: The study was carried out in 2011 and included a randomly selected (N = 2000, response rate 57%) sample of people aged 65 years and older, living in Sweden. MEASUREMENT: A postal questionnaire with questions about demographic data, living conditions, tobacco u
We use a combination of simulations and a simple theoretical approach to investigate interactions between neutral conducting surfaces, immersed in an electrolyte solution. The study is conducted at the primitive model level, which necessitates the use of multiple image reflections. Our approximate theory is based on a classical density functional formulation of Poisson-Boltzmann theory. The same a
The aim of this study was to evaluate how the fixed furniture dimensions match with students' anthropometry and to describe head, upper back and upper limbs postures and movements. Evaluation was performed in 48 students from a Brazilian state school. Furniture dimensions were measured with metric tape, movements and postures by inclinometers (Logger Tecknologi, Akarp, Sweden). Seat height was hig
In this paper we studied carrier drift dynamics in APFO3:PC61BM solar cells of varied stoichiometry (2:1, 1:1, and 1:4 APFO3:PC61BM) over a wide time range, from subpicoseconds to microseconds with a combination of ultrafast optical electric field probing and conventional transient integrated photocurrent techniques. Carrier drift and extraction dynamics are strongly stoichiometry dependent: the s
Artificial neural network (ANN) ensembles have long suffered from a lack of interpretability. This has severely limited the practical usability of ANNs in settings where an erroneous decision can be disastrous. Several attempts have been made to alleviate this problem. Many of them are based on decomposing the decision boundary of the ANN into a set of rules. We explore and compare a set of new me
Recently, the performance of many-light algorithms, where thousands of light sources are used to compute the lighting in a scene, has improved so much that they have reached the realm of real-time rendering. In general, the algorithm that is considered “best” is the one that is the fastest in terms of time per frame. Given that power efficiency may become or already is one of the most important op
När de svenska riksdagskamrarna 1963 beslutade att kvarvarande fideikommiss skulle avvecklas infördes ett undantag från avveckling i 6 § lag (1963:583) om avveckling av fideikommiss, i de fall egendomen är av synnerligen kulturhistoriskt värde. I sådant fall kan regeringen besluta om förlängning av fideikommisset i det enskilda fallet. Tanken med undantaget var vid införandet att sådant var en sisWhen the Swedish Parliament in 1963 decided to abolish the still existing entails an exception was made in 6 § lag (1963:583) om avveckling av fideikommiss (”the abolition act”) regarding cases when there is a great cultural property value. The Swedish government can under some circumstances decide to in the specific case extend the entail. The intention behind this exception was for it to be used
The Lisbon Strategy formulated that the EU shall be one of the most vital economies in the world. In order to perform that role, it has been argued that the EU must be more coherent. To increase cohesion, the structural funds and cohesion policy were introduced. Included in the structural funds are also the horizontal principles of equality, integration, diversity and sustainable development inten
Hatbrotten uppmärksammas i allt större utsträckning i Sverige och flera åtgärder har vidtagits för att dessa brott ska bekämpas och förebyggas. Homo- och bisexuella personer anses vara en särskilt utsatt grupp i samhället och när ett brott begås med motiv att kränka offret på grund av dennes sexuella läggning ska gärningsmannen dömas strängare. Samtidigt finns det ett prejudicerande avgörande frånHate crimes are receiving increasing attention in Sweden and a number of measures have been taken to combat and prevent these crimes. Homo- and bisexual persons are considered a particularly vulnerable group in society and when a perpetrator, motivated by hate or bias, targets a person because of his or her sexual orientation he will receive a greater punishment. At the same time the Supreme Court
This thesis presents a psychosocial theory of human action, meant to explain man’s reaction to different social orders and help to understand how to create a better society. When man becomes an individual, he experiences an unbearable separetedness from the world and from himself. This creates a longing for reunion, that can be carried out in a love relation with another human or through action, w
During the summer of 2013, A-hus will deliver housing in four floors to Derome Mark & Bostad exploiting land in Svedala. One of the technical challenges in these houses is to design the connection between the two outer wall elements and the floor structure. The current proposal is to connect the three elements using a 400 mm long screw that is toe-screwed through all three elements. This metho
The purpose of this thesis is to evaluate the extent of the civil rights political participation on a municipality level. The starting-point is the participatory democratic theory. I have chosen to make a case study of the extent of participation among KPR ? the board of the pensioners in the municipality of Skara. KPR is represented by fourteen members from the seven existing associations for pen
The purpose of this essay was to examine six high school welfare officers' experiences and work with students suffering from social phobia and discuss the welfare officers' view on social phobia from a psychiatric, cognitive and a knowledge theory. The study consists of qualitative interviews with welfare officers from several different high schools and attempts to answer the following que
This essay aims to examine and compare the attitudes of decision makers in the local government and representatives of pensioners in two different geographic areas. The main questions were: - their attitudes towards the "stay home principle" (kvarboendeprincipen, a principle that aims to make it possible for people with a handicap, disease or age to stay in their homes instead of moving
By introducing spectral or polynomial functions to perturb the shape of the rotor in an electrical machine that was previously optimized by conventional means, it was shown that performance parameters can be further improved, in some cases significantly. This was accomplished by developing and applying an optimization method designed for use with a commercial finite element simulation software (Ma
The proceeding in Swedish public administrative courts is regulated by the förvaltningsprocesslag (law of administrative proceeding). According to the 8 § in this law the court shall investigate a case by its nature. This paragraph gives the public administrative courts a duty to investigate their cases. The same paragraph declares that when necessary, the court notifies how the investigation shou
