Det här examensarbetet innefattar framtagningen av ett verktyg som hjälper produktutvecklare designa ergonomiska produkter. Många produkter som idag når tillverkning, eller till och med marknaden, är inte alltid så ergonomiska som det hade kunnat önskas. Emellertid kan dessa problem förebyggas i ett tidigt skede genom väl genomtänkt utformning på produkter och adekvata ergonomiska utvärderingar. DThis master thesis consists of the development of a tool which helps product developers design ergonomic products. Many products which end up being manufactured, or end up on the market, are not as well thought out as one could wish. However, this problem can be prevented at an early stage by well thought out designs and adequate evaluations. This was a topic discussed with Avalon Innovation Techn

Uppsatsen behandlar utvecklingen av kvinnors tillträde till akademiska studier och högre statliga positioner från mitten av 1800-talet. Under denna period påbörjades krav från vissa riksdagsledamöter och kvinnliga individer själva, vilka syftade till att förbättra kvinnors ställning. Reformerna som genomfördes var riktade mot att underlätta för en ny grupp av arbetskraft – ogifta kvinnor från medeThe paper examines women's access to academic studies and higher government positions since the mid-19th century.

Building Information Modeling (BIM) är ett arbetssätt och samlat begrepp som ger möjlighet att visualisera önskad design i verklig storlek och dimensioner (ur olika vinklar och vyer). BIM är en smart teknik och en ny designprocess där all information och konstruktion specifikationer skapas i en digital fil. Så BIM är inte enbart en mjukvara, utan en enorm teknik. För att implementera denna teknik Building Information Modeling (BIM) is a way of working and collective concept that provides the opportunity to visualize the desired design in real size and dimensions (from different angles and views). BIM is a smart technology and a new design process where all information and construction specifications are created in a digital file. So BIM is not just a software, but a huge technology. To imp

Tropikskog skövlas för ekonomisk vinning och får till följd att en mängd arter dör ut och att koldioxid frisätts varje år. Idag saknas en rättsligt bindande reglering för bevarandet av tropikskog. I den här kandidatuppsatsen utreds ett antal folkrättsliga regleringar för att undersöka om nya trender inom internationell miljörätt kan bidra till att tropikskogarna bevaras. I uppsatsen förs ett lexTropical deforestation is constantly being undertaken for material gain. As a result of this deforestation a variety of species is eradicated and carbon dioxide is released every year. There is currently no legally binding regulation for the conservation of tropical forests. This bachelor-thesis explores international legal regulations in order to explain how new instruments in international env

To increase productivity in the rail industry, the Swedish Transport Administration (Trafikverket) has decided to increase the percentage of projects procured as turnkey projects. Two recent projects, a railway switch exchange and a track replacement has been contracted as turnkey projects and the purpose of this project is to conduct an experience feedback of them. The goal is to find and enlight

Antalet nyanlända personer i Sverige har ökat dramatiskt de senaste åren. Ansvaret för dessa människors boende är både en statlig och en kommunal angelägenhet. Denna uppsats undersöker ansvarsfördelningen och hur långt rätten till bostad sträcker sig i svensk lagstiftning. Uppsatsen undersöker om rätten till bostad åtnjuts på lika villkor av alla människor som lagligen uppehåller sig i Sverige. DeIn the last years, there has been a largely increased number of refugees in Sweden. The responsibility for these peoples’ living situation are both a responsibility for the state and for the municipalities. Thus, this paper will examine the distribution of responsibility and how far the right to housing extends in Swedish national law. This paper focus on the subject if the right to housing is enj

This master thesis has shown multiple uses of the Anoto dot pattern and Anoto pen for different applications. One application is the calibration of the robot tool and work object. Another is the use of an Anoto pen and paper as replacement of the ABB Flexpendant to create a lightweight and intuitive control device to control an industrial robot, experimentally demonstrated for the IRB140 robot arm

In Helsingborg, the supply of student housing is wide but with varying quality and efficiency. Therefore, future student accommodations in Helsingborg should be carefully planned and adapted to their purpose - with more effective squa

Cooking with culinary spices shows health benefits Every time we eat a meal, our body will turn into a post-meal state and face a lot of challenges induced by the food intake. These challenges include blood glucose spikes, triggered inflammation and increased total cholesterol concentrations. If these challenges happen too many times a day and reach an abnormal level, then there is a risk of deve

This master’s thesis investigates sustainability management within a fashion company and how a company could use the sustainability management tool the Higg Index 2.0 Brand and Retail Module to work towards its prioritised UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The aim of this master’s thesis is to examine the preservation of audiovisual objects and how methods surrounding this may affect the material as well as the archival profession. Physical recording formats – such as cassette tapes or compact discs – deteriorate quickly and are becoming progressively obsolete, which in turn makes it problematic to safeguard the information they contain. It is there

Problem – While extensive research has been conducted on the liabilities of newness that new ventures experience, there is a gap in research focussing instead on the abilities of newness. Understanding the more positive aspects that derive from being new is important to understand how new ventures survive and compete with, or even outcompete, established firms. Aim – The aim of this study is to h
