Residual stress can be introduced unintentionally into the workpiece with various magnitudes and distributions through all manufacturing processes. These stresses have a significant effect upon the performance of the final component. Understanding the residual stress imparted by machining is an essential aspect of understanding the machining process and overall part quality. Although many investig

“Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities” is a famous aphorism commonly attributed to Voltaire. The choice to publish under an alias for François-Marie Arouet, reveals that there was some sort of awareness of the relationship between power, knowledge, truth and people’s tyrannical tendencies on his part. What our dear enlightened friend could most likely not fores

Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is an aggressive disease, with variable clinical course and heterogenous molecular characteristics. In this thesis, which is based upon six original papers, we aimed to understand MCL deregulations, both at intrinsic and extrinsic levels, to identify companion biomarkers that would allow patient stratification. With the aim to bridge the gap between research and clinical

The human lung is a complex tissue consisting of a heterogeneous mix of different structures and cells, each which a specific role that together contribute to the primary function of the organ: the gas exchange. Different mesenchymal cells populate the interstitial areas around airways and blood vessels and form the connective tissue together with the extracellular matrix. Fibroblasts constitute o

Background: Pragmatics is the functional use of language in ever-changing social contexts. One early pragmatic ability is decontextualized language;to talk about events and things beyond here and now. Pragmatic difficulties are practically universal in ASD, but we don’t know about impairmentsin early pragmatic development. Further, the roles of early socio-communication and linguistic abilities in

Characterization of emissions from fires in a laboratory-controlled environment are presented in this report. The project is initiated by the CERN HSE Unit and is called FIRIA, Fire-Induced Radiological Integrated Assessment. The objective of FIRIA is to enhance the knowledge of aerosols emitted from fires in order to develop dispersion models of radiologically-activated material in case of fire.

The traditional sheet metal forming process, including cast steel die tool and conventional work materials, is fairly well established and analysed. Developments of new alternative materials make great demands upon new forming processes and manufacturing methods. A general goal for the manufacturing industries is to reduce the weight of metal parts, reduce batch sizes and reduce the lead-time of n

Popular Abstract in Swedish Sotpartiklar i atmosfären är en del av klimatfrågan som är i särskilt stort behov av utredning. Dessutom har det visat sig, att samma partiklar orsakar mycket stora hälsoproblem; globalt, på Europeisk nivå, och till och med i förhållandevis förskonade länder som Sverige. Vi vet nu nästintill helt säkert att mänsklig påverkan leder oss in i ett varmare klimat. Vi behöveAerosol particles contribute significantly to the global burden of disease, and remain the main source of uncertainty in assessments of human-induced climate change. The microphysical characterization of particles is necessary to understand the roles they play in the detrimental effects of air pollution on human health, and in the energy budget of our planet. Soot particles are especially relevant

This report is the result of a joint research project between Lund University and Copenhagen Business School, mainly financed by the Öresund University. The main research question was: Can the Öresund region position itself as a leading logistics centre in Scandinavia, in the light of the new conditions that the bridge brings? The purpose was to create a fundamental understanding of the new logist

Short-term wave prediction is a key enabling technology for advanced control of wave energy converters (WECs), where accurate knowledge of the incident wave field over one to a few wave periods can improve power capture, reduce structural loads, and support operational decision-making. Many existing prediction methods rely on measurements at the prediction point or dedicated up-wave sensors, which

I detta examensarbete undersöks rättsverkningarna av förköpsförbehåll enligt aktiebolagslagen, med fokus på de praktiska och juridiska konsekvenserna av att sådana förbehåll överträds. Arbetet behandlar om och hur förköpsförbehåll kan åsidosättas, särskilt genom avtalsrättsliga mekanismer, och analyserar huruvida gällande rätt möjliggör avtalsrättsliga lösningar med aktiebolagsrättslig verkan. VidIn this thesis the legal effects of pre-emption clauses under the Swedish Companies Act are examined, focusing on the practical and legal implications of breaches of such clauses. It explores whether pre-emption clauses can be disregarded, particularly through contractual mechanisms, and evaluates whether current law allows contractual solutions to have binding corporate law effects. The thesis al

The question of international peace and security today includes far more than merely weapons and balance of power. The cold war conception of state security with primary focus on external aggression failed to offer adequate protection against the everyday threats facing the people of the world - threats that often are more tangible than a looming threat of war. Entrusted with the responsibility fo

I förevarande uppsats undersöks möjligheten till en fullständig och slutlig överlåtelse av upphovsrätten till ett datorprogram genom ett inkråmsförvärv. Vidare undersöks möjligheten att klassificera överlåtelsen som ett köp i enlighet med KöpL. Huruvida överlåtelsen är att anse som ett köp har betydelse för frågan om felansvaret. Med det här arbetet ämnas nämligen att särskilt undersöka hur förekoThis paper examines the possibility of a complete and final transfer of copyright to a computer software through an acquisition of assets in a company. Furthermore, it is examined whether it is possible to qualify the transfer as a purchase according to The Sale of Goods Act (1990:931). The question of whether the transfer should be regarded as a purchase in accordance with The Sale of Goods Act,

When deciding upon the usage of direct deliveries as opposed to central inventories, efficiency and strategic effects need to be considered. Operations management literature on efficiency effects is not hard to find but literature describing what other factors can affect the decision is more scarce. Even less literature can be found on the theme of deciding between direct or indirect physical flow

Herbert William Heinrich is one of the most influential pioneers within safety. His concepts, originally from the late 1920s, influence safety practice and theory, even today. In recent years, Heinrich’s legacy received increasing critique, also from contemporary safety authors that generally are counted among the ‘new view’. The objective of this thesis is to explore how ‘new view’ thinkers/autho
