Hidden on the plot of my summerhouse is a mountain glace overlooking the ocean. It is an enthralling place - a rock wall in the north and views towards the ocean in the south. A World War II trench is blasted into the rock, holding intimate rooms and layer upon layer of history. Here is narrow inclosure and vast openness, all at once. This mountain glace has been unused and forgotten during my who

The purpose of this essay is to examine how bereavement groups in the Church of Sweden work in practice. I have familiarized myself with terms like grief, grief process and grief recovery, to find out what grief is. Grief can be described as a normal response to a loss of any kind. Grief is the pain and suffering which we can experience after a loss. In this phase, a bereavement group can be helpf

This thesis project was performed in collaboration with Scania CV AB’s cab factory in Oskarshamn, Sweden, and the objective was to accomplish a product development process regarding a new assembly skid from an ergonomic perspective. A great number of aspects had to be noticed and evaluated, both regarding the process the skid is aiming to support and the product it concerns. The focus was the func

This study describes a health and safety plan which is mandatory in most building and civil engineering work. Skanska Civil, region South is implementing a new process for keeping this document living during the production work. The purpose of this paper is to describe a living health and safety plan and to examine the conditions of a successful implementation. A health and safety plan manages the

The concept of a customer order decoupling point (CODP) has been discussed since 1984. The CODP refers to the point in the supply chain at which a product is linked to a specific customer. Consequently, make to stock (MTS), assemble to order (ATO), make to order (MTO), purchase and make to order (PMTO), andengineer to order (ETO) all refer to different positions of the CODP. The CODP separates the

Filamentous fungi produce asexual dispersive spores (conidia), when conditions are not suitable for apical extension growth. Conidiation (the process by which conidia produced) in genus Penicillium has attracted considerable interest because of its wide usage in different areas. In addition, several Penicillium species are pathogenic toward humans and plants, causing crop spoilage as well as decay

In traditional product development, several iterations are usually necessary to obtain a successful compromise between constraints emanating from engineering, manufacturing, and aesthetics. Moreover, this approach to product development is not well suited for true mass-customization, as the manufacturing company remains in control of all aspects of the shape of the product-to-be. In this article,

This master thesis was conducted at Volvo Car Corporation, VCC, in Gothenburg within the Manufacturing Engineering department. It is based on the P11-project (the new model S40) where the process verification has been examined and analyzed. The purpose of the thesis is to investigate the reasons behind remaining and new problems at late stages in the development process, as well as possibilities f

Drivkrafter, barriärer och lösningar för integreringen av blågröna lösningar i den fysiska planeringen Hur kan samhället anpassas till klimatförändringarna och dess effekter? Ett sätt är att använda sig av blågröna lösningar, som exempelvis träd och dammar. Dessa strukturer kan minska översvämningsrisken, ta hand om skyfall och reglera temperaturen på varma sommardagar. De kan även bidra med en rIn Sweden, the municipalities play a key role in climate change adaptation since they have the main responsibility for the physical planning. One way for the municipalities to adapt the society to a changing climate is to use so-called blue-green solutions in the physical planning. Blue-green solutions, such as ponds, swales and trees, use underlying ecosystem services to deliver a range of benefi

Morselized and impacted bone allografts are used successfully in hip and knee revisions, but experiments using bone chambers indicate that impaction actually can delay ingrowth of new bone into a graft. To understand the remodeling and incorporation process of morselized and impacted grafts, we studied the incorporation of morselized impacted autografts in lumbar fractures histologically. 4 patien

Som titeln antyder behandlar denna uppsats just rättens tolkning av gärningsbeskrivningen. Huvudsyftet har varit att studera den objektiva sidan av tolkningen för att nå fram till vad en godtagbar tolkning innebär. ''Tolkning'' innebär i sammanhanget att rätten tyder, förklarar åklagarens gärningsbeskrivning. Förenklat innebär det att ord och uttryck skall tolkas för att se om de &

In this study child pornography offence and more stringent measures against child pornography on the Internet are discussed. Furthermore, the study explores several ways and means of effectively combating child pornography. Thus, the intention with this essay is to consider various provisions that should be taken in order to achieve a more effective combating of child pornography on the Internet.

Problem discussion: Long-term supplier relationships have become more common. Hence, supplier evaluation is a critical activity for many companies. However, making a relevant supplier evaluation is time consuming. Therefore, it is important to decide which of the suppliers to put an extra effort on. Should all suppliers be evaluated in the same way? Previous, focus has been on purchasing of direct

Brushite cements are fast self-setting materials that can be used as bone substitute materials. Although tracing their fast setting process is a challenge, it is important for the understanding of the same, which in turn is important for the material's further development and use in the clinics. In this study, the setting rate, phase formation, and crystal growth of brushite cements were quantitat

Adaptation is becoming increasingly significant for public policy and practice in dealing with climate change-related risks and achieving sustainable development. Consequently, the exploration of different ways of assisting successful adaptation has brought under scrutiny the different lifestyles of communities all around the world. Most frameworks adopted to understand adaptation among societies

Automation is a collection of a whole set of theories and methods to make a system work automatically as intended, in our case the urban water supply system. A critical feature of automation is the feedback principle: a sensor is measuring a certain variable, e.g. a concentration; a computer tests that the measurement is valid; a computer algorithm calculates and decides what should be corrected;

This thesis ponders the participation of municipal authorities amidst processes of sociolegal change. Such interest originated from acknowledging the limited autonomy that municipalities have in the nested scalar jurisdictional order of most contemporary states, the relevance of municipalities as spaces of local democracy, the social movements’ advocacy for social change at local levels, and the i

Modal choice is a prominent concept within transport studies. However, the term is often used quite loosely, with little known about the factors lying behind the choice, the alternatives available to a person, and whether the person had a ‘choice’ to begin with. This study draws on a travel survey among older people living in Sweden’s large metropolitan regions. The questions posed as part of this
