Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Dynamiken och mönstret under Weichselisens, dvs den senaste inlandsisens, deglaciationsfas är inte bara studieobjekt i Skandinavien utan även på andra sidan Östersjön, i nordöstra Tyskland och Polen. Vid geologiska institutionen drivs NFR (Naturvetenskapliga forskningsrådet)-projektet ”Anomala isrörelser i NV Polen och NÖ Tyskland under Weichselisens avsmältning
This study aims to map how Swedish process industries use qualitative risk analyses, such as process hazard analyses (PHA), to assess risks. Beyond the Seveso legislation, which requires all facilities classified as upper tier to perform a safety report each fifth years, there are no Swedish legislation or regulations regarding how and when PHAs should be executed. Hence, Swedish process industrie
Aim of the study: Understand the effects of physical surroundings on humanitarian assistance service workers’ satisfaction, and develop a first step conceptual model explaining the effects of physical surroundings on employee job satisfaction and turnover rate in humanitarian assistance service. Methodology: Qualitative multiple - case study design was adapted for this study to understand the eff
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
