To maintain a high position accuracy in robots is essential in today’s industry. Because of different factors, as for example wear and tear, the robots may need to be recalibrated after a while to maintain their high precision. Today the calibration can be costly. The robot is often sent away to be calibrated and will therefore cause stoppages in production, and if the calibration is performed in-
Kvinnor som förövare har historiskt sett varit ett relativt outforskat ämne. Den kriminologiska forskningen har utgått från studier på män samt utveck-lat teorier baserade på män. Kriminellt beteende har setts som avvikande från normativa föreställningar kring det kvinnliga könet och femininiteter. Ett specifikt kriminellt beteende som kan sägas än mer avvika från norma-tiva femininiteter är då kvWomen as perpetrators have historically been overlooked as a subject. The criminological research and its theories are based on men. Criminal behav-ior has been considered as deviant in relation to normative views of the fe-male sex and femininities. A specific criminal behavior that could be con-sidered even more deviant is the one where women sexually abuse children. These women fit neither the
I uppsatsen undersöks hur guanxi, ett samlingsnamn för personliga nätverk, kan påverka verkställighet av internationella skiljedomar i Kina. Den huvudsakliga forskningsfrågan är: Påverkar guanxi verkställighet av internationella skiljedomar i Kina? För att undersökningen inte skall grunda sig uteslutande i en främmande rättsordning används svensk rätt på området som ett riktmärke. Både Kina och Sv
The aim of this study was to examine how addiction identity is created and changed and also to examine the link between alcohol and drug addiction, social norms, and stigma by analyzing four autobiographies. A qualitative research method, with a focus on the narrative aspects of the autobiographies, was used to investigate how the authors described their experiences, and how they create understand
This bachelor thesis in social anthropology researches the subject of integration and refugee narratives in contemporary Danish society. It is firstly a study of what integration means in Danish culture and how integration is debated in the Danish public debate. Secondly it is a study of how the Danish public discourse reflects itself in the refugee narratives. Moreover, this thesis investigates t
This thesis aims to outline the effect of different abstraction scenarios on the extent of nitrate vulnerable recharge area (NFI) in two study areas in Denmark. NFI were designated in order to protect vulnerable groundwater resources from nitrate pollution, where the geology overlying the aquifers does not serve as a sufficient barrier. NFI are officialy calculated by taking into consideration th
Research question/s: What are the factors influencing the exploratory capability of a corporate accelerator and how do these factors influence the exploratory capability of a corporate accelerator? Methodology: The study was conducted through a single case study and followed a qualitative research strategy on the corporate accelerator as a new phenomenon of organizational separation. The data was
For many applications a fracture is a disaster, leading to failure of the application and thus its usefulness. However, when it comes to the opening of a food and beverage package, fracture is a necessity. At Tetra Pak, food and beverage packages are produced to make food safe and available everywhere. Today, many of the packages include polymer parts, such as the opening of the packages. In the
District heating systems need to be made more ecient. Lower system temperatures are desirable for the eciency of the entire system, but it also decreases the temperature-margins that can compensate for faults in the system. Therefor it is crucial to decrease these errors. The majority of the improvement potential is on the customer's side of the system; in the substation or in the building'
Uppskattningsvis ligger idag mellan 2,5 till 20 miljoner ton olja i vrak runt världens kuster. Under tusentals år har den kommersiella sjöfarten dominerat haven. Det var dock inte förrän industrialiseringen på 1800-talet som olja började användas i allt större utsträckning. I den kommersiella sjöfarten är frakt av miljöfarliga ämnen inte något ovanligt, varje dag skeppas cirka en halv miljon ton oCurrently, between 2,5 and 20 million tons of oil are found in shipwrecks around the world. For thousands of years, commercial sea transport has dominated the seas. However, it was not until the industrial revolution in the 19th century that oil started being used extensively. Within commercial sea transport, the shipping of environmentally hazardous substances is not uncommon. About half a millio
Denna studie fokuserar på en nästan 1700 år lång sjösedimentsekvens från Hässeldala Port i centrala Blekinge, sydöstra Sverige. Den omfattar övergångsperioden mellan pleistocen och holocen, eller mer precist eventen GI-1a och GS-1 samt början av den holocena epoken i iskärnorna, vilket motsvarar de sydsvenska pollenzonerna sen allerød till tidig preboreal. För att studera den senglaciala klimatutvDuring the past 118000 years Earth has undergone several climatic changes. The most recent major climatic change took place almost 20000 years ago. It was the cooling event, of the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), also known as the Ice Age. During this event almost one third of the Northern Hemisphere was covered by ice. Most likeley it was triggered by the change in the water circulation pattern of th
This study aims at investigating the thematic patterns in media presentations of Swedish communal social services and the social service workers: how is the media discussion created and established? Which areas are paid the main attention? How is the field being portrayed in media? The study is based on a material found in Swedish newspapers published under a three-month period in the end of 2014.
People that have driven a car with a trailer at high speed know that the trailer can begin to oscillate. This oscillation is known as snake behavior. How much the car and trailer starts to oscillate depends on how the trailer is loaded. An empty trailer does not tend to oscillate, while a heavy loaded trailer, with the load centered over the trailer axle, oscillates more easily. For a normal perso
The migration politics in Sweden have changed drastically within the past years as it has introduced stricter asylum policies and higher securitisation of borders. As a result, an increased number of people are forced to live as undocumented migrants, meaning without a legal permit to stay in the country. This thesis aims to contribute to the analysis of this development by investigating the role
Activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) by exercise and metformin is beneficial for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. We recently found that, in cultured cells, the LKB1 tumor suppressor protein kinase activates AMPK in response to the metformin analog phenformin and the AMP mimetic drug 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide-1-beta-D-ribofuranoside (AICAR). We have also reported that LKB1 activ
Antisera produced against peptides deduced from potato nda1 and ndb1, homologues of yeast genes for mitochondrial rotenone-insensitive NADH dehydrogenases, recognise respective proteins upon expression in Escherichiacoli. In western blots of potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) mitochondrial proteins, the NDB and NDA antibodies specifically detect polypeptides of 61 and 48 kDa, respectively. The proteins
Accessibility in public outdoor environments for those with reduced functional capacity has been gaining interest on both the international and national levels. The study investigates how accessibility issues are currently treated in Swedish municipalities in order to examine how older peoples’ accessibility needs are met in daily practice. A postal questionnaire was sent to all municipalities in
In the past decade, the literature on transitions toward sustainable socio-technical systems has made a considerable contribution in understanding the complex and multi-dimensional shifts considered necessary to adapt societies and economies to sustainable modes of production and consumption. However, transition analyses have often neglected where transitions take place, and the spatial configurat
