Detta projekt utreder hur en by kan utvecklas genom att ha turism som drivkraft. Knäred är en ort med cirka 1200 invånare och har haft en stagnerande befolkningskurva de senaste 20 åren. Det är besultat att den tåget återigen ska gå mellan Markaryd och Halmstad för persontrafik med up- pehåll i Knäred. Men genom att anlägga en järnvägsstatoion innebär inte per automatik att ett samhälle växer. FörThis project is investigating how a village can be developed by using tourism as the main driving force. Knäred is a villa- ge with around 1200 inhabitants that has had a decreasing population the past 20 years. It has been decided that the old train stop will be opened for passenger transportation again. But reestablishing a train station does not automa- tically mean that a settlement will grow.

Control theory plays a big part in the development of more efficient and environ- mental friendly combustion engines. But the process of designing good controllers can be very time consuming and complex. One way to reduce the time spent on design and testing of a controller is to use simulations to get fast feedback of the controllers performance. Therefore, in this thesis it is investigated if a

Lysosomes are cell organelles in charge of degradation. Lysosomal membrane permeabilization (LMP) causes the leakage of cathepsins and other digestive enzymes into the cytosol from lysosomal cavities. This usually causes the initiation of cell death. LMP can be triggered by many stimuli and this could potentially be used in new therapeutic approaches for removing cancer cells. However, excessive L

The aim of this thesis is to set up a high-fidelity fluid structure interaction (FSI) simulation environment to study the gust load alleviation capability of camber-morphing airborne wind energy (AWE) wings. The simulation environment will enable studying the transient flow phenomena around the wing when encountering wind gusts and gives the possibility of investigating dynamic instabilities. To m

How should we deal with city planning in a world that is rapidly turning urban, without destroying valuable nature assets along the way? The last decades are proof that the system we are using today is not up to the challenge. Therefore this thesis is showing a new approach to how comprehensive city planning can grow from nature based values and a deeper understanding of a city’s foundation. Toda

The aim of this thesis is to provide useful framework for the design of the upcoming electric race car of Lund Formula Student Team. The thesis intends to find the different powertrain concepts on the state of the art. From the configurations, the thesis should provide outcomes of the performance, efficiency, complexity design and cost. Furthermore, the best concept should be find and a simple pre

From literature review a theoretical research model was developed describing the process for designing a performance measurement system fit for the company culture, strategic direction, and stakeholder perspective. Following the model, the definition of high performance for the department was investigated and success factors were formulated from interview results. These success factors were accord

Education has the potential to play a critical role in the sustainable transformation of society which is needed to limit the consequences of the multiple ecological crises society is facing. While this has been recognised internationally at least since 1992, not a lot has been done within the Danish educational system to address issues of climate change, biodiversity loss, and sustainability with

I Europa påverkas cirka 600 000 personer, inklusive barn, av statslöshet. Även om UNHCR:s #IBelong-kampanj har uppmärksammat frågan och satt ett tydligt mål att statslösheten ska upphöra till 2024, råder det fortfarande tvivelaktigheter kring vilken stat som är ansvarig för att bevilja statslösa barn medborgarskap. Konsekvensen av detta blir en ökad statslöshet bland unga där ingen stat står ansvaIn Europe, about 600 000 individuals, including children, are affected by statelessness today. Although the UNHCR #IBelong Campaign has shed light on the issue and set the goal of ending statelessness by 2024, there is still a lack of understanding as to which State is responsible for granting nationality to stateless children. This leads to the fundamental consequence of stateless-ness, where no

Wide-angle distance measurements are needed for positioning with multilateration when there is no information about in which direction objects of interest are located. Several transmitters of varying kinds were evaluated in a data-driven way using a 6 DOF robot actuator. A wide-angle (±98 degrees) distance measurement system us- ing ultrasound was developed. The resulting solution was integrated i

Death is a universal human experience, yet the ecological impact of the care and disposition of dead bodies is rarely considered, due in part to cultural taboos surrounding the physical reality of death and decomposition. If negative environmental consequences are to be limited, deathcare will need to adapt. Utilizing interviews with funeral directors from the United Kingdom, the United States and

The purpose of this thesis is to investigate an alternative way of management within physical systems engineering development (PSED), a term which represents all fields of engineering where physical components are involved. More specifically, analysing how agile methodologies can be applicable with the use of technological advancements to overcome the restrictions hindering the increase of efficie

The aim of this study is to gain an understanding of the potential relationship between populism and a population’s search for security and belonging. Furthermore, how this is expressed through the rhetoric and policies of a country’s leader, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan in Turkey, and Viktor Orbán in Hungary, this is examined through conducting a qualitative content analysis. Here I use newspaper article

Listeria monocytogenes is a pathogen, sometimes occurring in fresh cheese, such as Queso Fresco. Antimicrobials could be utilized to prevent the presence of L. monocytogenes in this type of cheese. In order to be able to screen and assess several novel antimicrobials simultaneously in the future, the validated miniaturized laboratory-scale model for Queso Fresco (MLQF) was further developed into a

Advancement of technology with the aid of new application, wireless communication has grown rapidly in the past two decades. Recently, in the wireless communication industry, Narrowband- Internet of Things (NB-IoT) is being discussed by everyone, as the most important emerging technology of the day. Being a wireless technology, owing to the exodus of devices to be connected, with due consideration

To optimize precision and accuracy of small dispensed volumes, a dispenser was built. A 96-well plate was loaded with four replicates of a linear pyranine dilution series to test the accuracy and precision of the dispenser machine. Three dilution series of pyranine (100-0 percent, 10-0 percent and 1-0 percent) were made. The results showed that the dispenser has very good accuracy and precision. T

Public participation is vital to ensure sustainable water management, and providing education is one of the way to trigger participation. For decades, developed countries try to educate their citizen to be environmentally literate, and for the water sector, water-related knowledge has been introduced to the public by schools, municipalities and water utilities. The condition is harder for developi
