The aim of this project is to investigate whether scuba diving equipment can be made safer and more attractive for new divers. The thesis shows that most accidents occur because of poor equipment checks and misused equipment. This problem is the main concern of the thesis. The resulting product, 4° (Four Degrees), is a buoyancy compensating vest with a focus on safer diving, non-complex appearance

As interest in social vulnerability to hazards grows, more indices are formulated for identifying and mapping population groups that may experience differential consequences from natural hazards. However, less attention has been given to the underlying choices researchers make when creating these indices. With the aim to contribute to understanding the issues surrounding social vulnerability indic

Abstract in UndeterminedThe success of the Wii and of the iPhone together with the persisting problem of displaying information on the small screens of mobile devices is currently pushing the development of non-visual interaction channels such as gestures, tactile/haptic interaction and sound. This development presents both potential and risk, since new channels of interaction may result either in

UNLABELLED: There are three main methods used to assay factor VIII (FVIII) activity: the one-stage and two-stage clotting assays and the two-stage chromogenic method. The most commonly used assay for the diagnosis of haemophilia A is the automated one-stage FVIII assay. The classical two-stage FVIII assays are less frequently used. The chromogenic FVIII:C assay is a variant of the two-stage assay.

Today a dynamic analysis is often performed with the use of advanced finite element software. An advanced model normally produces precise results. Analyzing these large models of bridges is however time consuming and a detailed description of the geometry, supports and material properties must be known. In an early stage of a project a reduced model could significantly reduce the time needed to perf

In July 2021, single-use plastics will be banned from the European market, meaning that the plastic straws used with Tetra Pak’s portion packs will no longer be permitted. Therefore, Tetra Pak develops new straws, and it is important to test their functionality, something that previously has been done with panel tests. However, Tetra Pak has requested to aid the development process by minimizing t

Both during and after the pandemic, the trend of biophilic design has reached maximum acceleration. One of the consequences being an increasing interest in gardening and plant care in general. Though not everybody might have so called ‘green fingers’, everyone should have the opportunity to try, and a product that facilitates horticulture is the self watering planter. IKEA of Sweden is looking int

Malmö University uses ECTS grades (A to Fail) in parallel with Swedish grades for some courses. During 2008 and 2009 I was course director for the course Masters Thesis at the International Masters Programme for Public Health at Malmö University, Sweden. After our first examination it was evident that lecturers from different backgrounds had widely disparate grading criteria and the same quantitat

Erosion och översvämningar – effekter av klimatförändringarna. En stor del av befolkningen bor idag längs kusterna, vissa även på kustnära områden som ligger under dagens havsnivå. Kommer effekterna av erosion och översvämningar att öka kommer detta ha förödande effekter och kommer att påverka många människor. Landskrona är ett exempel på en stad som ligger längs kusten och redan idag upplever svThe global climate is changing, mostly due to human impacts of greenhouse gases emissions. These changes in climate have lead to an increase in global warming, increasing extreme storm events and an increase in sea-level etcetera. Areas located along the coast will suffer from coastal erosion and flooding as a result of the impact from the climate changes. These impacts can lead to major socio-eco

The increasingly rapid urbanization has led to vast impervious surface areas in the urban environment. This situation of impervious surfaces has increased the surface temperature and interrupted the natural water circle, which has negatively impacted the urban environment. Human activities' continuous greenhouse gas emission has contributed to global climate change, which has caused some atmos

The high surface-to-volume ratio of nanoparticles (NPs) makes them an interesting source for scientific research. How interfacial energies interplay between such a small structure and a solid bulk surface, are important because of the versatile applications NPs regard. In this thesis, a convenient and reliable method for interfacial energy determination was investigated. The interfacial energies

Artificial lighting energy consumption in buildings can be reduced by efficiently daylighting the occupied spaces. Artificial lighting comprehends 21 % of the total energy consumption in tertiary buildings (Swedish energy agency, 2015). In many buildings daylight access is neglected, thus redirecting daylight is an efficient strategy to optimize daylighting while keeping the same area of openings

This industrial design bachelor project aimed to improve the functionality of patient alarm systems in hospitals across the Skåne region. The project was conducted through nurse surveys, interviews with patients and nurses, as well as research into inclusive and universal design. The research found that there were three main problems with the current alarm systems. The primary issue was an abundan
