The management of construction tolerances is a necessary and routine part of the construction activity and is normally brought to our attention only when failures are reported. In a study of tolerance management, the authors found widespread evidence of the same failures and the reasons for them. There seems to be no shortage of experience of the effects of failures in tolerances or of knowledge a
Popular Abstract in Swedish Nollvisionen antagen av Sveriges riksdag fastlägger att ingen skall behöva dödas eller skadas svårt i trafiken i Sverige. Införande av detta begrepp förskjuter fokus från trafikolyckorna till konsekvenserna av trafikolyckorna och härmed skapas förutsättningar för ett paradigmskifte i trafiksäkerhetsarbetet. För att åstadkomma önskade förändringar är det nödvändigt och bThe over-arching objectives of this thesis were to formulate a method to describe the consequences of traffic casualties, and to explain the influence of different traffic engineering factors on these consequences for society and individuals over time. A more detailed objective was to examine whether available short-term indicators can be used to predict consequences in a long-term perspective. Ot
The increasing use of wireless technology utilizing unlicensed frequency bands calls for more in-depth analysis of interference and coexistence between systems. In this paper a framework is presented for detailed analysis of the performance of coexisting networks in shared frequency bands. The framework allows for multiple packet lengths to be used by the communicating devices and the analysis is
This paper focuses on the on-going doctoral research of the writer. Specifically, the topic of this article is on the methodology, the theoretical approach and the first steps of the research. The general aim is the contribution of 3D documentation and the 3D digital approach to the stylistic and typological study of archaeological collections. The study is applied to the collection of the Ayia Ir
This paper presents an energy relaxation-based approach for the modeling of single crystalline magnetic shape memor)) alloy response under general two-dimensional magnetomechanical loading. It relies on concepts of energy relaxation in the context of non-convex free energy landscapes whose wells define preferred states of straining and magnetization. The constrained theory of magnetoelasticity dev
The Conference on Computational Natural Language Learning is accompanied every year by a shared task whose purpose is to promote natural language processing applications and evaluate them in a standard setting. In 2008 the shared task was dedicated to the joint parsing of syntactic and semantic dependencies. This shared task not only unifies the shared tasks of the previous four years under a uniq
The aim of this thesis is to identify characteristics on how safety facilitators can improve inter-organizational learning from safety investigations. The study is a response to the fact that the Dutch Safety Board questions the learning effects of its accident investigation reports, despite that these are freely accessible on the website, which assumes that other organizations can use and learn f
The technological development has provided the art scene with many new opportunities of including the spectator as an active part of an artwork. Moreover, one could argue that some artworks have grown to rely on the spectators participation to function to its full extent. This function includes both a physical function as well as an ability to create emotions and a relatable- meaning within the sp
This thesis concerns early medieval dress brooches from urban and rural sites in South West Scania. The purpose is to investigate similarities and differences between urban and rural sites as well as between the rural places in particular. The main research questions concern the reasons for the similarities and differences, what connections and contact areas are observable according to the dress b
Liksom samhällsmedborgarna behöver förhålla sig till straffrätten, bör också staten behöva förhålla sig till densamma genom att ramar uppställs för när straffrätten kan användas. En sådan ram är att kriminalisering får användas för att förhindra att skada uppkommer på ett skyddsintresse. Detta examensarbete har till syfte att undersöka innebörden av det straffrättsliga skadebegreppet vid kriminalAs much as members of society need to conform their conduct to the penal law, the state should also have to adhere to the penal law, by providing clear guidelines for when such law can be used. Such a guideline is that criminalization may serve to prevent harm to legally-recognized interests. This thesis aims to explore the concept of harm within the deliberations that attach to the criminalizat
Today it is a matter of course to build airtight buildings both in terms of obtaining a good indoor climate as well as meeting the energy requirements. In the near future the energy requirements will be even tougher which demands for even better solutions than there are today. JM is one of the leading companies in its line of building energy efficient buildings but despite this they have been expe
I de avancerade mjukvarusystem som utvecklas idag krävs det en hel del processer och arbetsmetodik för att säkerställa att produkten håller en bra kvalité. Svårigheten uppstår i att organisationer oftast är tvungna att hantera väldigt många ändringar som kommer från kunder och dessa kan vara av varierande komplexitet, dvs. kräva olika mycket resurser att åtgärda. CGI är ett globalt IT-företag och In the advanced software systems that are developed today there is need for a lot of processes and proper methods to ensure that the developed product maintains a good quality. The difficulty arises in that the organizations often have to deal with many changes arriving from customers and these can be of varying complexity, i.e. require different amount of resources to address. CGI is a global com
This paper presents a framework developed for an industrial robotics system that utilises two different planning components. At a high level, a multi-robot mission planner interfaces with a fleet and environment manager and uses multiagent planning techniques to build mission assignments to be distributed to a robot fleet. On each robot, a task planner automatically converts the robot's world mode
The subject of this thesis is the interplay between IPR and competition Law regarding standardisation. In reviewing the legal sources in the field the complexity of the process will be enlightened and the question to answer is what mixture that is to be “perfect” in that sense. Focus lies on the risks of “hold-up “ situations where holders of IPR abuse the system in search for higher amounts of ro
This paper seeks to provide an analytical framework for designing a more effective law enforcement for the crime of commercial sexual exploitation of children. The author has chosen to focus on a group of children particularly at risk in the society due to the lack of attention, namely accompanied children in the migration process. Out of a total of 1086 asylum seeking accompanied children arriv
CityGML is an important standard to present 3D geometry, topology, semantics and appearance that together with 3D city models, which have had increased use within analysis and applications, such as emergency response, energy consumption and occupancy measurement. However, the standard’s querying and integration capabilities can still be further explored. One way to do this is through the Semantic
Non-native plants are a growing problem in Antarctica. By encroaching on native plants’ habitats, they risk leaving the last frontier of authentic wilderness irreversibly altered. As the climate continues to change and more people visit Antarctica, non-native plants’ spread and impacts are expected to become more severe. The Protocol on Environmental Protection to the Antarctic Treaty prohibits in
The Roma people’s isolation has been a major concern for the population in Europe for many years. Programs and legal frameworks are created for the protection for this underprivileged group; however the isolation continues to exist. The purpose of this paper is to explain why many of the measures taken are shown to be inadequate. The outlining and the examination of the history in this matter will
