The rapid advancements in technology have brought benefits to many sectors, including the health sector. Popular technologies related to e-health and m-health have transformed traditional healthcare and are getting more popular among physicians and patients. Since these technologies, like any other, are constantly changing and improving, some groups of people who are not digitally literate enough

The purpose of this project is studying heat transfer to indexable cutting tools during milling of a selection of titanium alloys, relevant to the industry. To achieve this goal, both experimental and theoretical models were contemplated to formulate the current thesis. The experimental set-up was designed and executed at Seco Tools AB, supporting the project as industrial collaborator. The therm

Due to the steadily growing world chainsaw market and the market’s relative competitiveness, high performing chainsaws are important for Husqvarna Group AB to remain competitive. In the development phase a large number of endurance tests are run to evaluate the product’s performance. Given the data gathered from these tests, the main goal of this thesis was to model the time until failure and eval

Köpt, ägd och förtjänad kommunikation är tre begrepp som är vanligt förekom-mande i mediebranschen. Detta trots att dagens föränderliga medielandskap gör det allt svårare att skilja på olika typer av kommunikation samt att en del anser begreppen vara förlegade. Det har även visat sig att begreppen verkar sakna teore-tisk grund. Mot bakgrund av detta ämnar denna studie öka förståelsen för hur yr-kePaid, owned and earned media are three concepts, which are frequently used within the media industry. This despite the fact that some people see them as retrogressive as well as the media landscape is constantly changing, whereby the media types are converged and therefore difficult to distinguish. It has appeared that the concepts also seem to be in absence of theoretical foundation. This study i

The evolution into a networked society, where a wide variety of devices are connected to the Internet, opens up many new opportunities for creating smart products and applications that dynamically adapt to the current environment. A common scenario will be that applications require or benefit from using several devices at the same time for the execution. Such distributed applications may be comple

This paper empirically investigates the relationship between education and risk of developing dementia. From a large body of literature, it is well known that higher education associates with better health. This is true both for health in general, but also for more specific diseases like Alzheimer’s. However, the question of whether the link between years of education and dementia is causal or not

In March 2020 the Swedish public health authorities imposed the first of many restrictions on social interaction, as a way to limit the spread of the covid-19 pandemic. Coinciding with this is a new standard to work from home, as well as increased waves of migration out of Sweden’s major cities. This thesis aims to gain an understanding of current trends of urban emigration in relation to the Covi

Biodiversity is today rapidly decreasing, and one of the main threats is land use intensification in forest landscapes. By improving the forest quality in the surrounding landscape of protected areas, the level of biodiversity could increase, and green infrastructure areas have been proposed as a method in Sweden. These areas are called Valuable Forest Areas (VFAs), and contain high densities of s

Due to problems associated with the use of fossil fuels, new, sustainable methods are needed to synthesize biofuels and chemicals from readily available biomass. In this project, we report a method to quantitatively convert biomass derived chemicals into value-added chemicals and biofuels using hydrosilylation. Cost effective silanes, such as PMHS and TMDS, which are biproducts in silicone industr
