This is the report of a master thesis in Mechanical engineering with industrial design at Lund University Faculty of Engineering, in collaboration with Ikea Components AB (ICOMP) in Älmhult. Furniture dampers are a desired feature by most customers and are practically a standard in kitchen drawers and cabinet fronts. IKEA’s vision is that this feature will spread to involve the entire househo
Human social, cognitive, and linguistic functioning depends on skills for rapidly processing action. Identifying distinct acts within the dynamic motion flow is one basic component of action processing; for example, skill at segmenting action is foundational to action categorization, verb learning, and comprehension of novel action sequences. Yet little is currently known about mechanisms that may
The web server is an essential component of many systems today. It has the possibility to give access to files with sensitive information and it is the backbone that enable a vast amount of applications. This makes it critical to ensure that files are only accessed and altered by intended users and that web servers are always up and running when expected. One important aspect of doing this is to e
This paper presents a broadside antenna with three ports operating at the same frequency. The TM030 and TM003 modes of a patch are excited by two coaxial cables to generate two orthogonal linear polarizations. The patch can be transformed into a slotted SIW cavity whose TE201 and TE102 modes are jointly excited by the third cable. A matching cavity and a matching patch are introduced to broaden th
Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling föreslår förbättringar av vissa verktyg som svenska myndigheter använder för samhällssäkerhet och krishantering; krishanteringsutvärderingar, krishanteringsövningar samt organisatoriska riskbedömningar. Avhandlingen undersöker även hur visualiseringar av säkerhetskulturdata kan stödja utveckling av säkerhetskultur. Forskningen motiverades av praktiska bThis thesis suggests improvements of selected parts of the Swedish authorities’ toolkits for societal safety and crisis management; crisis response evaluations, crisis management exercises and organizational risk assessments. The thesis also explores how visualizations of safety culture data can be used to support safety culture development. The research was motivated by practical needs and delive
A sociocultural perspective was utilized to explore if concept mapping using macroscopic, symbolic and submicroscopic aspects (often referred to as the ‘chemistry triplet’) can be used to promote development of expert knowledge in secondary school chemistry students by facilitating multilevel thinking. An additional aim was to explore the possibilities of using sociocultural theory to study the de
The purpose of this study was to investigate for how long the thermal power of hydration can be measured with isothermal calorimetry, which is a general measurement technique with stable properties that, in many cases, can detect low rates of processes. Measurements were conducted for 365 days on cement paste with Portland cement, fly ash blended Portland cement and different water-to-binder ratio
We present a novel low-cost device for scanning object surfaces based on structured LED (Light Emitting Diode) light and a single, monocular image from a standard machine vision camera. During the calibration phase we find the displacement of the imaged LED-projected marker points as a function of depth. Using this displacement data and a suitable interpolation technique, the depth of surface poin
The problem of solving linear equations in a non-commutative algebra is in general a highly non-trivial matter. Even in the case of finitely presented algebras, there is no general algorithms for solving seemingly simple equations of the type a X = X b for some elements a and b. In this paper we will demonstrate a method by which it is possible to find all the solutions to linear equations in cer
We propose a depth cache that keeps the depth data in compressed format, when possible. Compared to previous work, this requires a more flexible cache implementation, where a tile may occupy a variable number of cache lines depending on whether it can be compressed or not. The advantage of this is that the effective cache size increases proportionally to the compression ratio. We show that the dep
Some evidence from Persian supports the existence of constituents that show properties of affixoids or what might be referred to as semi-affixes. These constitutes can stand independently but, in combination with certain nouns, show a rather notable distribution and, in that context, behave like a derivational affix. In such contexts, there is a semantic change in the derived form when an affixoid
This essay examines translation of Swedish definite and indefinite noun phrases to Russian. Since the Russian language does not have the same way of expressing definiteness as languages like Swedish and English, this essay explores how definiteness is in fact expressed in Russian. This is done by examining literature and papers on this subject as well as studying and comparing two fictional books

Klimatförändringar är en av dagens stora utmaningar; en utmaning med betydande konsekvenser som kommer att påverka alla länder på olika sätt om vi inte kan komma överens om ett sätt att motverka den globala uppvärmningen genom att stabilisera utsläppen av växthusgaser. Ett globalt problem kräver internationell respons, men den internationella klimat-regimen har misslyckats med att leverera tillräcClimate change is one of today’s major challenges; a challenge with significant consequences that will affect all countries in different ways if a way to combat global warming by stabilizing greenhouse gas emissions cannot be agreed on. A global problem calls for an international response; however, the international climate regime has failed to deliver adequate results. Currently, states represent
Den digitala ekonomin innebär stora utmaningar för nationella och internationella skattesystem. Den Europeiska unionen (EU) vill bemöta dessa utmaningar genom lösningar på unionsnivå som involverar samtliga medlemsstater. Om det inte går att uppnå harmonisering på området är risken att medlemsstaterna konkurrerar med varandra genom regleringskonkurrens. Den Europeiska kommissionen har presenterat National and international tax systems face significant challenges due to the digitalisation of the economy. The European Union (EU) argues that these challenges must be met with solutions at union level that involve all Member States. If no harmonisation is achieved, there is a risk that the Member States will compete with each other through regulatory competition. The European Commission has mad
Volumetry of subregions in the medial temporal lobe (MTL) computed from automatic segmentation in MRI can track neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease. However, poor quality MR images can lead to unreliable segmentation of MTL subregions. Considering that different MRI contrast mechanisms and field strengths (jointly referred to as “modalities” here) offer distinct advantages in imaging differen
COSM23 Contemporary Chinese Society Literature List Spring Semester 2026 Approved on 18 November 2026 by the education board at the Centre for East and South-East Asian Studies. Introduction In 2026, COSM23 will require students to read 438 pages of book chapters and approximately 1038 pages of journal articles, policy documents, and expert popular discourse. In addition, student will select about
