For ensuring quality of a product it is important to perform hardware testing on a device. The aim of this thesis was to simplify and improve the process for power consumption hardware testing at a company. The result was one semi-automated and one fully automated solution. Another key component was that the system should have high flexibility, everything from the choice of instruments to the test
This paper consists of a literature study and laboratory experiments of magnesium oxide boards, from Swedish suppliers, that is a part of a larger research project. Lately the boards have become known for the way they absorb moisture which has led to damage on adjacent materials. The boards are inorganic and are marketed as moisture proof. The purpose of the larger research project is to identify
Purpose – The purpose of this study is to uncover what motivational factors exists for companies to use co-creational methods. It also aims to recognize what beneficial factors can come from using these methods. The restriction of using social media depending on industry or size of company will be reflected upon. The main research question is “What motivates companies to use customer co-creation a
Under de senaste decennierna har friformsframställning, även benämt som 3D-utskrift, utvecklats snabbt inom både industri- och hobbyområdet. När nya applikationer upptäcks måste både material och metoder undersökas och utvecklas i samma takt för att inte hämma den kreativitet som 3D-utskrift framkallar. Materialet som vanligast används i 3D-skrivare är i filamentform, vilket produceras i storskali
The aim of this thesis is to explore the relative importance of the eight psychological Active Innovation Resistance (AIR) barriers, from the new typology of AIR barriers developed from Talke and Heidenreich in 2014, on the consumer’s intention to adopt or buy circular fashion products. Moreover, this thesis examines whether the socio-demographic factors of age, employment status, and educational
The Canadian Arctic currently faces changing coastlines due isostatic rebound and climate change-driven sea-levels rising. This thesis seeks to answer how local coastlines will change over time under different Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) scenarios, where errors in modelled coastlines come from, and how much of an impact isostatic rebound has on sea-levels compared to climate-change
The purpose of this study is to test the sustainable development of Costa Rica between 1890 and 2015 based on Genuine Savings. The Genuine Savings estimations are composed of indicators on fixed capital, natural capital, and human capital. Indicators for this study were built with data from several sources including local and international projects, as well as governmental data. The data was then
This study builds on the idea that the conceptualisation and implementation of human rights education in the classroom and other instances in the local community can be different from the way in which the concept is understood and described in international policy documents. The literature review indicates that the context and local actors can affect the way human rights education is carried out.
With the relative performance between accounting-based and option-based approaches for default prediction being a key subject in previous research, combined with criticism against the rating agencies’ timeliness in assigning credit ratings, surprisingly few attempts have been made to investigate the models’ usefulness in predicting corporate credit ratings. This thesis is the first to investigate
When concrete slab frame bridges are designed with modern linear 3D FE-models large tensile restraint forces will arise in the transversal direction of the bridge from the temperature and shrinkage loads. These restraint forces are much larger than those that are accounted for in the older 2D models. This leads to that the amount of transversal reinforcement, calculated in the 3D FE-calculations,
Marine macro algae possess many beneficial bioactive properties which can be of interest in various applications. Components of interest in seaweed are for instance sulfated polysaccharides, defined as fucoidan, with antimicrobial activities and polyphenols with antioxidative properties. This study analyses the antimicrobial effect of two extracts from Fucus vesiculosus and test their efficacy on
"There's a difference between reading about things and getting into the practical" - teacher students' knowledge and expectations of the mandatory report The Social Services' investigation of child maltreatment and neglect is dependent on information from school teachers. The mandatory report requires all school personnel to report incidents involving children who may need S
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Fenologi innebär studier av naturligt återkommande händelser som till exempel bladsprickning, knoppbristning och vissningen av blad. Det är viktigt att förstå hur klimatförändringen påverkar tidpunkten då dessa händelser sker eftersom det i sin tur påverkar kol-, närings- och den hydrologiska cykeln. Fältobservationer har varit den mest använda metoden för att saPhenology is the study of the timing of natural events such as leaf-out, bud burst and senescence relative to climate change. It is important to understand how the climate change will affect the timing of these events as it in turn affects the carbon-, nutrient- and the hydrological cycles. Field observations is the most common way to gather phenology data but the result is dependent on the skill
The housing market in Sweden today has submitted to the rules of commercial markets. The de-mand is rising while the supply is decreasing; pushing rents to go up. The interest in building apartment blocks is low due to high costs and low revenue. Prior to 1991 private actors was encouraged to enter the housing market through tax revenues and loan subventions and through Public-Private Partnerships
The popularity of smartphones and the related growth of mobile application markets created a need for mobile platform owners to open their software platforms up to third party developers in order to meet user demand for mobile applications. This external innovation provides a tremendous opportunity for mobile platform owners to develop a volume and diversity of products they could not develop in-h
Syftet med denna uppsats är att utreda hur tillämpningen av domstolens riskbedömning realiseras rättsligt, i faktisk mening. En central fråga i uppsatsen är hur ett påstående om att barnet riskerar att fara illa bemöts och bedöms i vårdnadsmål. Uppsatsen utgörs av tre delar. I den första delen redogörs för en teoretisk utgångspunkt avseende bestämmelserna om barnets bästa och om risken att fara iThe main aim of the essay is to examine how risk assessment is carried out by the District Courts. An essential question is how a claim that the child is at risk with the other parent is examined and assessed in cases concerning child custody. The essay consists of three parts. The first part outlines a theoretical standpoint where the rules of a child's best interests and risk of suffering h
