Syftet med mitt master projekt i industriell design vid IKDC var att utveckla och uppgradera produkten trygghetslarm. Detta larm skall kunna göra det möjligt för äldre och rörelsehindrade att bo kvar i hemmiljön, med tryggad kontakt till hemtjänsten när olyckan är framme. Bakgrunden till valet av projekt är bland annat personliga skäl, då trygghetslarm varit livsavgörande för några av mina släktin

This study investigates the meaning of "feedback" at MAX IV Laboratory using a phenomenological approach. Outcomes of the study contain: (a) significant themes that respondents speak about regarding “feedback”, including its forms and functions, interpretability, the role of culture, together-being, longing towards feedback, the perception of MAX Lab, etc.; (b) similarities and differenc

The aim of this research was to study how non-governmental organizations (NGO:s) are motivating their strategies in their social work with Bedouins in the south of Israel and how these strategies are practiced according to the perspectives of the organizations. The aim was further to investigate how the NGO:s interpret social problems among the Bedouin society and how they consider their work to b

För att undersöka nanopartiklars toxicitet finns behov av att producera väldefinierade nanopartiklar dispergerade i en kolloid suspension. Men även för andra områden så som nanomedicin finns ett behov av denna typ av lösningar. För att dispergera partiklarna i vätska används ofta ytaktiva ämnen. När dessa ämnen tillsätts adderas de på ytan av partikeln och förändrar partiklarnas yta. Då forskning To examine nanoparticle toxicity there is a need to produce defined nanoparticles dispersed in a colloidal suspension. Such a solution could also be interesting for other fields such as nano-medicine. In order to disperse the particles in the liquid there are often surfactant added to the process that alternates the surface of the particles. As the research shows that the surface of a nanoparticle

The aim of this project is to investigate if it’s possible to make travelling more sustainable. To utilize a regular transporting system for the long distance but later switch to a greener method. To enhance the users experience this way. The thesis shows that this can be done with small effort and the right equipment. The resulting product, the 700C Roadster, is a fast contemporary traveler’s bi

Over-consumption of resources is becoming an environmental issue with increasing impact. Within the Swedish fashion market efforts to address this issue are becoming more visible. One example is the sustainability concept launched by the brand Filippa K in early 2015. This concept will first be examined using three consequential categories for sustainability within the fashion-system: alternative

Principalansvar innebär att man blir ansvarig för någon annans vållande och är således en avvikelse från den svenska skadeståndsrättens grundprincip som föreskriver att man endast ansvarar för sina egna handlingar. Innan skadeståndslagen (SkL) trädde ikraft fanns endast rättspraxis som underlag för ett inskränkt principalansvar. Genom införandet av skadeståndslagen blev arbetsgivarens principalansVicarious liability means being responsible for someone else's negligence and therefor a deviation from the Swedish tort law basic principle, which states that you are only responsible for your own actions. Before the Swedish Liability Act (SkL) came into force there were only case law as the basis for a limited vicarious liability. With the introduction of the Liability Act the vicarious liab

The use of spatial information has become an important resource for decision support making at national and regional levels. In this respect, several private and public organizations are continuously collecting and producing geospatial data. However, there are still problems that affect the usage of spatial information. As a response to these problems, several spatial data sharing initiatives have

Den så kallade Moderniseringsreformen förändrade tillämpningen av de EG-rättsliga konkurrensreglerna radikalt. Huvudsyftet med hela modernise-ringsreformen har varit att utöka och stärka den effektiva tillämpningen av konkurrensreglerna. Förordning 1/2003 bygger på parallella kompetenser, kommissionen och de nationella konkurrensmyndigheterna inom EU har behörighet att tillämpa artiklarna 81 och 8

Until today, little research has been made of how individuals develope emotional relations to their clothes. Women have been, and still are, the main focus in most of the contemporary studies, therefore it exists a lack of knowledge of how men and women can relate differently to their clothing. The primary aim of this study is to illustrate how young men and womens different approaches to fashion,

Including wind power in the European power system may cause instability in the power market due to the uncontrollable generation capacity. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the relationship between Danish power prices and wind power produced in Denmark, both in terms of general dependence structure and the extreme dependence. Filtered observations of daily power prices and filtered obse

Denna uppsats kommer att presentera ett nytt sätt att tänka kring och analysera musik. Initialt visar den på hur bristfälligt antropologer har studerat musik och presenterar sedan kort huvuddragen i Alan P. Merriams teoretiska ramverk gällande musik. Han är en av de få antropologer som seriöst har försökt studera musik ur ett antropologiskt perspektiv. Mycket av det han skrev har klassats som etno

Denna kandidatuppsats har som syfte att undersöka kvantitativa lättnaders effekter på makrovariabler i USA, Eurozonen och Storbritannien. Forskningsfråga: Har kvantitativa lättnader haft effekt på makrovariabler? De variabler som undersöks är arbetslöshet, ränta, inflation och BNP-tillväxt. Resultat: Programmen i kvantitativa lättnader har till viss del haft effekt på makrovariabler. Dock har int

The domestic cleaning business in Sweden has been controversial over a period of time, raising issues of “black” employment, exploitation and harassment of the cleaners. After 2007 the connection of the cleaning businesses with the state through the tax office, is claimed to have bettered the working conditions for the workers, interpreted through statistics, although qualitative researches are st

The purpose of this thesis is to estimate the parameters in a stochastic volatility model in order to hedge derivatives based on underlying assets under the real probabilities as opposed to the standard method of esti- mating them under the risk neutral probabilities. We choose a common and reasonable but not to complex model of stock prices and other traded nancial assets, the Heston model, as we

Matavfallskvarnar är ett smidigt sätt att samla in matavfall på. Med nya system behöver matavfallet inte transporteras till reningsverket utan kan istället lagras i tankar för att sedan köras direkt till biogasanläggningen. Här produceras biogas av matavfallet genom rötning. Biogas är en förnybar energikälla som bland annat kan användas som fordonsbränsle, uppvärmning och elproduktion. Genom att To collect, treat and use food waste is desirable in society in order to recycle and efficiently use all resources. One stage of one of the Swedish environmental goals is to collect and treat 50 % of the food waste biologically in year 2018. A useful product from this treatment is biogas, which can be used for fueling vehicles, heating and producing electricity. Biogas could be produced from food

This master thesis started as part of “Industry Wise”, an explorative research based project initialized by the company Interactive Institute in 2009. The goal of Industry Wise was to increase electricity awareness and/or stimulate change of energy behavior among employees in industries by visualizing their electricity consumption in real time. I joined Industry Wise to be a part of the research a

The purpose of this paper is to contribute with a new understanding of pop-up stores through a phenomenological perspective by examining how consumers experience pop-up stores. The study also aims to look at a micro and macro perspective to better understand how this phenomenon links to and is shaped by macro level trends of the contemporary consumer culture. Given the purpose and aim of the repor
