Abstract:

Mestrado em Ciência e Engenharia de Materiais
O presente trabalho foi executado no âmbito do estágio curricular realizado na empresa de produção de componentes sanitários Grohe Portugal, sediada na zona industrial de Albergaria-a-Velha. Trata-se de uma indústria de fundição de latão, cujos produtos abrangem sobretudo torneiras e chuveiros. O trabalho teve como principal objetivo criar novas formulações de areias de macho para o processo Hot Box, por forma a melhorar a qualidade dos machos produzidos. Foi iniciada uma análise do sistema utilizado pela Grohe, incluindo o controlo das principais variáveis inerentes ao processo. Verificou-se que as matérias-primas utilizadas (areia, resina, endurecedor e conservante) eram as adequadas e, quantitativamente, o doseamento de cada uma delas era o correto. A distribuição granulométrica da areia utilizada (areia SP 45) cumpria as especificações técnicas dadas pelo fornecedor. Foi feita uma análise à temperatura das caixas de macho, tendo sido constatado que os valores eram os adequados ao processo. Foram realizadas análises térmicas à areia de macho: análise térmica diferencial (ATD) e análise termogravimétrica (ATG). Através da relação entre perdas de massa e reações endo/exotérmicas compreendeu-se melhor o processo químico de polimerização da resina furânica do tipo ureia-formaldeído usada no fabrico dos machos. Foram ainda realizados ensaios mecânicos de flexão e compressão a um conjunto de provetes representativos destes machos. Os provetes foram preparados numa máquina de machos manual e, numa segunda tentativa, utilizando partes de machos da produção. Em ambos os casos, os valores de resistência mecânica medidos após diferentes tempos de repouso após cura, ao longo de 6h, não foram constantes, revelando alguma falta de reprodutibilidade na preparação dos provetes. Numa segunda fase do trabalho, foram definidas diferentes formulações de machos, variando o tipo de areia utilizada e a proporção REC/A (quantidade de resina+endurecedor+conservante/quantidade de areia). Para isso foram utilizadas quatro areias diferentes (SP 45, SP 55, SP 49 e H-S 00108) e comparadas entre si em termos de distribuição granulométrica, tamanho médio de grão, morfologia do grão e área superficial específica. Para as diferentes quantidades de matérias-primas utilizadas, foram usadas as proporções de REC/A (em peso) = 1%, 1,4%, 1,6%, 1,9%, 2,4% e 2,8%. Em seguida, 0h e 24h após a preparação dos provetes, foram executados na empresa Fundipor (fornecedora da Grohe) ensaios de resistência à flexão, de dureza e de permeabilidade às diferentes composições de machos. Este conjunto de ensaios permitiu concluir que o melhor sistema para o processo Hot Box, é a nova formulação com areia SP 55 e proporção REC/A = 1,5%. Uma análise de consumos com esta formulação revelou uma poupança de 23% em resina, 22% em endurecedor e 25% em conservante.
This work was performed under the internship carried out in the sanitary components production company Grohe Portugal, located in the industrial park of Albergaria-a-Velha. Grohe is a brass foundry company, whose products include mainly faucets and showerheads. The work aimed to create new formulations of core sands for Hot Box process, in order to improve their quality and reduce fabrication costs. Firstly, an analysis of the system used by Grohe was carried out, including the control of the key variables inherent to the process. It was concluded that the raw materials used (sand, resin, hardener and additive) and the relative amounts were adequate. The size distribution of the sand used (SP 45) followed the technical specifications provided by the supplier. The temperature of the core boxes was measured and found correct. Thermal analyses were performed on the core sand: differential thermal analysis (DTA) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The relationship between mass loss and endo/exothermic reactions, allowed a better understanding of the chemical polymerization process of the furan resin urea-formaldehyde used in the cores. Bending and compression mechanical tests were also carried out to produce a set of representative samples of Grohe sand cores. Samples were firstly prepared manually in a core machine and, in a second attempt, using parts of production cores. In both cases, mechanical strength values measured at fixed intervals over a period of 6h after curing were not constant, showing that there was no reproducibility regarding the specimen’s preparation. In a second part of the work, different formulations of cores were defined by varying the type of sand used and the ratio REC/A (amount of resin + hardener + additive / amount of sand). For this, four different types of sand were used (SP 45, SP 55, SP 49 and H-S 00108) and compared in terms of particle size distribution, average grain size, grain morphology and specific surface area. For different quantities of raw materials used, the proportions in weight percent were REC/A = 1%, 1,4%, 1,6%, 1,9%, 2,4% and 2,8%. After 0h and 24h of sample preparation, bending tests, hardness tests and permeability tests were performed at Fundipor (a Grohe supplier). It was concluded that the best system for the Hot Box process should be a new formulation with sand SP 55 and a ratio of REC/ A= 1,5%. Moreover, the analysis of consumptions revealed that this formulation allows the following savings at Grohe: 23% of resin, 22% of hardener and 25% of additive.

Abstract:

Co-polymer facade materials have recently become a popular option in the building industry as an alternative to glazing. Ethylene Tetra-Fluoro-Ethylene (ETFE) foil has been successfully used in many projects as an innovative solution to energy-conscious design challenges. In addition, the use of ETFE membrane has resulted in significant savings in cost and structural support requirements, compared with conventional glazing, due to its low weight. There is a lack of detailed published data reporting its thermal behaviour. This study focuses on the examination of heat transfer through the ETFE membrane, and more specifically heat loss and solar gains. The document examines the impact of the material on the energy use of a building, as well as thermal comfort and interior conditions. Through field-testing and computer simulations the research evaluates the material’s thermal properties to obtain results that will assist in estimating the suitability of ETFE foil use in comparison to glass. Field-testing is used to perform a comparison of the thermal and energy behaviour of a fritted double ETFE cushion to a double glazed cover. The two experimental devices under examination present nearly identical energy consumption due to heating requirements. The experimental findings are implemented in Integrated Environmental Solutions (IES) and used to identify the necessary steps to accurately reproduce the thermal and energy behaviour associated with both covering materials. Further simulations were undertaken to provide a comparison of several types of ETFE cushions to various types of double glass. More specifically, the types examined are a clear double ETFE roof cover and a fritted double ETFE roof cover in comparison to a standard double glazed roof and a low-E double glazed roof. The roofs covers are examined in relation to energy requirements for both the heating and cooling of a space. Such an assessment of performance will provide information for further investigation to improve the material’s features and optimise energy performance.

Abstract:

The hot box technique is an experimental method to achieve the U-value of elements in stationary conditions; however, it is not always possible to work in stationary conditions in real world. This thesis consisted of evaluating the heat transfer of a window of a historical building with a unique hot box set-up. The window had a low emissivity plastic film to improve thermal efficiency, and the hot box was unique because the outside temperature could not be controlled. The applicability of the hot box technique to dynamic conditions was assessed using COMSOL Multiphysics 5.3. COMSOL Multiphysics is a finite element method solver software with a heat transfer module. Two heat transfer simulations were conducted in 2D based on the indoor and outdoor temperature when the hot box was in operation. First, a stationary study was carried when the outdoor temperature remained stable for 1 day. Then, the study was extended to a transient study to analyze in detail the effect of the external temperature fluctuations for 5 days. The results indicate that a cautious approach should be taken when applying the hot box technique under transient conditions, but that stationary conditions could not be achieved during one day. Nevertheless, the reliability of the simulation solution could have improved more.

Abstract:

Solar-control films are increasingly being retrofitted to the windows of buildings as a means of reducing solar gain. At present, there is a dearth of information concerning how these films effect the thermal comfort of occupants within buildings where these films have been applied. An illuminated hot box, utilising a xenon lamp to simulate sunlight, has been designed as a testing facility. The illuminated hot box has been used to obtain information on how much thermal radiation enters the internal space from a window fitted with a solar-control film. The data from the experimental apparatus was verified using a finite-difference model written on a personal computer, with the aim of the computer program being used to compare different films, and thereby avoiding expensive experiments. The experimental rig produced usable data for the tested films only when the lamp was orthogonal to the plane of the glass, with errors occurring, and increasing, as the angle of incidence between the lamp and the glass increased. This conclusion was verified by the computer based model. It was seen that the illuminated hot box was too small to give accurate measurements for angles of incidence other than 0°. It is suggested that a larger illuminated hot box which is able to eliminate the problems encountered when measuring for angles of incidence above 10° would be desirable. Furthermore, a more complex transient finite-difference computer based simulation model is needed, taking into account the conclusions that were made during this study.

Full text

Abstract:

Induction heating is one of the efficient and modern technique for heating raw materials for hot forging process. The induction heating furnaces use electro-magnetic field to transfer energy to the metal workpiece and heat is generated inside the material. The magnetic field can be provided by using induction coil. The power supplied to induction coil, the moving speed of the billet that is called conveyor speed and the coil box hole diameter are the factors affecting the resultant temperature of the heated billet. In this study, AISI 1045 type steel billets with a diameter of Ø
30 mm and length of 100 mm have been heated in a particular induction heater. During heating, effects of different levels of power, conveyor speed and the coil boxes with different hole diameters are investigated. The 125 KW 3000 Hz induction heater which is available in METU-BILTIR Research and Application Center Forging Laboratory is used in experiments. The heating experiments are designed according to 23 Factorial Design of Experiment Method. Multiple linear regression technique is used to derive a mathematical formula to predict the temperature of the heated billet. A good correlation between the measured temperatures that are the results of different sets of induction heating parameters and the predicted temperatures that are calculated by using temperature prediction formula has been observed.

Abstract:

Le secteur du bâtiment recèle un fort potentiel d’amélioration de l'efficacité énergétique et de réduction de l’empreinte écologique. Dans cette optique, l’enveloppe du bâtiment joue un rôle important pour relever le défi de la transition énergétique. En effet, une bonne conception de l’enveloppe contribue efficacement à réduire la consommation d’énergie tout en réduisant les émissions de CO2 associés. Cela s’accompagne notamment d’une démarche de développement de nouveaux matériaux et principes constructifs. Ce projet de thèse s’inscrit dans ce cadre en proposant un nouveau matériau composite, qui porte sur l’association de deux matériaux innovant : composite textile mortier (TRC) et matériaux à changement de phase (MCPs). L’objectif de cette combinaison est de contribuer au développement d’éléments de façades multifonctionnelles permettant d’allier performances énergétiques, mécaniques et environnementales. Le but de notre étude est de caractériser en premier lieu, les propriétés mécaniques et thermiques de ces composites puis, d’évaluer l’impact des MCPs sur le confort thermique intérieur pour différentes configurations. Pour atteindre ces objectifs, nous avons adopté une démarche expérimentale et numérique multi échelle. Une campagne expérimentale à l’échelle du laboratoire et in-situ a été menée. En parallèle, nous avons développé un modèle numérique de paroi multicouche, couplé à un modèle de bâtiment. Enfin, nous avons exploité ce couplage pour réaliser une optimisation multicritère à base d’algorithmes génétiques
The building sector has a great potential to improve energy efficiency and reduce the greenhouse gas emissions. Improvements to the building envelope and Innovations in building materials have the potential to achieve sustainability within the built environment. This PhD thesis focuses on the development of multifunctional façade elements in order to optimize the building energy consumption while maintaining an optimal indoor human thermal comfort. The proposed solution consist of using passive storage by means of phase change materials associated with alternative construction materials such as textile reinforced concrete (TRC). The aim of the study is to characterize mechanical and thermal properties of TRC composites and to evaluate the effect of PCMs on indoor thermal comfort. To meet these objectives, experimental devices have been set up for the characterization (at the component scale and in situ) of the mechanical and thermal behaviour of different TRC panels. In parallel, we have developed a numerical model for the prediction of wall temperature profiles. Finally, a multi-objective optimization of the façade elements is carried out using genetic algorithms to determine the better combinations able to combine the energy performance with the mechanical performance

Abstract:

Hur resonerar potentiella kunder kring inköp av produkten som ens företag tillhandahåller? En av de främsta frågorna hos en marknadsförare, men också en fråga som är aktuell i vår marknadsekonomi i stort. Konsumentbeteende är därför ett givet fält inom företagsekonomin. Men hur går det till när konsumenten är ett företag? Vilka aspekter är viktiga och varför? Vilka marknadsföringsinsatser bör genomföras utifrån denna adderade förståelse? Det är utgångspunkten för denna uppsats. För att kunna svara på dessa frågor har en ny konsumentbeteendemodell utarbetats, vilket skett utifrån befintliga teorier inom konsumentbeteende och då särskilt den så kallade svarta lådan-modellen. Målet med modellen är att kasta ljus över relevanta aspekter och processer som beaktas och gås igenom i samband med inköp inom ett företag.

Studien avser inköp av kaffemaskiner avgränsat till potentiella kunder för kaffe- och kaffemaskinleverantören Premium Coffee och dess produkt Nespresso, med betoning på större företag i Stockholmsområdet. Informationsinsamlingen har skett med hjälp av enkäter per mail.

Utifrån vår empiri och analys av denna har vi gjort antagandet att priset är den absolut mest styrande faktorn för gruppen. Det verkar dock som om man kan tänka sig att betala mer om detta ”mer” är konkret och efterfrågat. Hit verkar inte en godare smak och möjligheter till varumärkesbyggande finnas utan snarare värden som miljövänlighet, kvalité och hållbarhet. Vidare kan vi också anta att inköp nästan alltid sker via anbud.

Utifrån detta kan man dra slutsatser kring vilka insatser som skulle kunna genomföras. Hit hör att berättiga sitt ändå högre pris, men också utforma ett bättre svar på miljöfrågorna och en uppväxling av positioneringsaktiviteterna.

How do potential customers reason concerning the purchase of a product supplied? This is one of the main issues for a marketer, but also an issue that is current in our market economy at large. Consumer behaviour is a given field of business economy. But how does this work when the consumer is a company? What marketing efforts should be implemented based on these new findings? This is the starting point of this essay. To answer these questions, a new consumer model, has therefore, been developed, which is based on existing theories of consumer behaviour and in particular the so-called black box model. The goal of the model is to shed light on the relevant aspects and processes that are reviewed and considered in connection to the purchase of an enterprise.

The study relates to the purchase of coffee machines to the limited prospects for the coffee and coffee machine supplier Coffee Premium, with an emphasis on large companies in the Stockholm region. Information has been collected using questionnaires by mail.

Based on our empirical data, we can assume that price is the absolutely most governing factor for the group. They are however willing to pay for more if this "more" is defined and demanded. It does not seem as a better taste and the ability to strengthen the brand are aspects considered as such but rather aspects as quality and durability. Furthermore, we can also assume that the purchase is almost always done through tenders.

Based on this we are able to draw a number of conclusions about what actions that could be implemented. These include, for example, to review the pricing, combined with the aim to justify the higher prices, but also design a better response to environmental issues and an up shift of positioning activities.

Abstract:

Educators are divided with regards to the value of computer technology as a learning tool. Some maintain that computers have had little impact on students’ learning; others suggest that computers have the potential to enhance learning. Within this second group there are those who believe that computers are having a significant impact, while others believe that their potential is yet to be realised. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between students working in a technology rich environment and their development of higher order, critical and creative, thinking skills. Staff and students from one school participated in this case study. Data were collected by teachers as part of the normal teaching-learning program, supplemented by classroom observations and teacher interviews. In addition, data pertaining to the technology infrastructure was collated from school databases. The data were used to determine the degree of correlation between factors of the learning environment and the extent to which higher order thinking skills (HOTS) were demonstrated by the students. Collations of the statistically significant, and statistically insignificant, correlations allowed relationships between environmental factors and HOTS to be established.
The results indicate that studying within a technology-rich learning environment improves students’ higher order thinking skills, determined by measuring their critical and creative thinking. Factors such as length of time spent in the environment have a positive, non-linear effect on the development of critical thinking skills. These factors have no significant correlation with the development of creative thinking skills. The interaction of students’ computer skills and the classroom environmental factors was shown to be complex. Three-dimensional correlations were performed to derive equations that explain these interactions. Students with better developed computing skills scored higher on critical and creative thinking activities. This was most significant for students with better computer programming skills and the ability to competently manipulate Boolean logic. The most significant factors in developing higher order thinking skills were the students’ levels of computer skills, tempered with their attitudes towards computers and computer classes, and the teacher-student relationships within the technology-rich learning environment. The research suggests that in order to develop students' higher order thinking skills schools should endeavour to integrate technology across all of the learning areas. This will allow students to apply technology to the attainment of higher levels of cognition within specific contexts. This will need to be paralleled by providing students the opportunity to develop appropriate computer skills.

Abstract:

Bakgrund: Den äldre befolkningen ökar i samhället och inom gruppen beskrivs även äldre mulitsjuka personer med omfattande vårdbehov som många gånger innebär en flytt till ett vård- och omsorgsboende. Inom vård- och omsorgsboende för äldre ska omvårdnadsbehovet tillgodoses utifrån den enskilda individens behov samt även medföra livskvalitet för äldre personer. Upplevelse av livskvalitet är individuell men påverkas av exempelvis fysisk och psykisk hälsa. Syfte: Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att beskriva vad som har betydelse för livskvalitet för äldre personer som bor på vård- och omsorgsboende samt att beskriva undersökningsgrupperna i studierna. Metod: Beskrivande litteraturstudie med en sammanställning av 13 vetenskapliga artiklar som beskriver studier med kvalitativ och kvantitativ ansats. Systematiska litteratursökningar gjordes i databaserna Cinahl och PubMed. Resultat: Livskvalitet för äldre personer som bor på vård- och omsorgsboenden beskrevs inverkas av många olika delar. Tillexempel inverkade relationer till familj och vänner, meningsfulla aktiviteter att göra samt relationen till omvårdnadspersonalen. Miljön och boendet i sig sågs också inverka på livskvaliteten. Slutsats: Livskvalitet för de äldre på vård- och omsorgsboenden är ett komplext system där många delar spelar stor roll och vilka dessa delar är avgörs personligen av individen själv. Upplevelser och beskrivningar av sociala relationer, fysiska aktiviteter, individanpassning, god hälsa och en trygg miljö är att alla dessa delar är betydande för äldres livskvalitet på vård- och omsorgsboenden. Att lyssna till den äldre personen och ta hänsyn till dennes beskrivning och individuella önskemål är en stor del för att förbättra arbetet kring livskvalitet.
Background: The elderly population is increasing in society and within this group there are older people described with extensive care and nursing needs that often mean moving to a nursing home. The individual’s needs for care and nursing should be met within these nursing homes, and it should also bring quality of life for the elder. Perceived quality of life is individual but influenced by, for example, physical and mental health. Purpose: The purpose with this literature review was to describe what is of importance for quality of life for the elderly living in nursing homes and to describe the samples in the studies. Method: Descriptive literature review with a compilation of 13 scientific articles that describe studies of both qualitative and quantitative approaches. Systematic literature search were made in the Cinahl and PubMed databases. Results: Quality of life of elderly people living in nursing homes were described being affected by many different parts. Relationships with family and friends, meaningful activities to do, the relationship to nursing staff as well as the environment and the accommodation were all instances that had an impact on quality of life. Conclusion: Quality of life for the elderly living in nursing homes is a complex system where many parts play a major role and which these parts are, is determined by the individual. Experience and descriptions of social relationships, physical activities, personalization, good health and a safe environment are that all these parts are to be included and are significant for their quality of life in nursing homes. Listening to the elder person and to take into account his or her description and individual preferences is an important part of improving the work on quality of life.

Abstract:

Informell statistisk inferens ses som ett sätt att undervisa statistik i framtiden för att ge elever möjlighet att utveckla de statistiska förmågor som krävs i en teknologiskt utvecklad värld. Informella statistiska inferenser handlar om att ge eleverna möjlighet att engagera sig i statistiska diskussioner och problemområden utan att ha den bakomliggande formel statistiska kunskap som krävs för att göra statistiskt säkerställda påståenden. Informella inferentiella resonemang ses som de resonemang som förs av elever, på ett informellt vis, för att i slutändan göra dessa informella inferenser. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka på vilket sätt, samt i vilken utsträckning aktiviteten: svarta lådan möjliggör elevers uttryck av ISI och IIR. De två frågeställningarna som fungerar som bas för arbetet är: 1. Vilka aspekter av ISI och IIR kommer till uttryck hos en klass förstaårselever på IB-programmet under aktiviteten med den svarta lådan? Samt 2. I vilken utsträckning? Forskningslitteraturen som använts i denna studie är hämtad ifrån UniSearch och ERIC. Informell statistisk inferens är ett relativt nytt forskningsområde. Således har det inte studerats i någon omfattande mening i en svensk kontext. Dessutom har, så vitt författaren till denna studie vet, ingen forskning genomförts på elever i gymnasieskolan i Sverige. Därav är det svårt att jämföra resultatet av studien med andra studier. Således kan inte heller några generella slutsatser om aktiviteten: svarta lådans möjliggörande för elevers uttryck av ISI och IIR dras. Studien fann dock att elever uttryckte alla definierade aspekter av ISI under aktiviteten, samt att de använde sig av informella resonemang (IIR) vid konstruktionen av dessa inferenser.
Informal statistical inference (ISI) is emerging as a way to teach statistics in the future in order to give students the opportunity to develop the statistical abilities required in a technologically developed world. ISIs are about giving the students opportunity to engage in statistical discussions and problem areas without the underlying formal statistical knowledge required to make statistically sound claims. Informal inferential reasoning (IIR) is seen as the reasoning that is given by students, in an informal way, and that leads to these informal statistical inferences. The aim of this study is to examine in what way, and to what extent, the activity: Black Box enables students expressions ISI and IIR. The two research questions that work as a base for the study are: 1. What aspects of ISI and IIR are expressed by a class of first-year students attending the IB-program during the activity: Black Box? And 2. To what extent are these aspects expressed? The research literature used in this study was found on UniSearch as well as ERIC. Informal statistical inference is a relatively new research area. Therefore, it has not been studied in any extensive way in a Swedish context. Furthermore, as far as the author of this study is aware, no research at all regarding ISI and IIR has been made on students attending upper secondary school in Sweden. As a result of this it is difficult to compare the of this study with that of other studies. Furthermore, no general conclusions can be made of the activity: Black Box and its enabling of students expressions of ISI and IIR. The study did, however, find that students expressed all defined aspects of ISI during the activity and that they used IIR to construct these inferences.

Abstract:

Många personer lever med demenssjukdom, och antalet beräknas stiga i takt med att befolkningen blir äldre. Syftet med studien var att utifrån personer med demenssjukdom och deras berättelser beskriva upplevelser av att bo i ordinärt boende och hantera vardagen. Studien har utförts genom ostrukturerade intervjuer med nio personer med demenssjukdom som är över 65 år och som bor i ordinärt boende. Data bearbetades genom kvalitativ manifest innehållsanalys. Resultatet redovisas i sex olika kategorier som handlar om begränsningar i vardagen, förändrad självbild, känslan av missnöje, känslan av förnöjsamhet, sociala relationer och strategier.De äldre personerna upplevde begränsningar och varberoende av andra på grund av sin demenssjukdom. Bitterhet över att ha drabbats av sjukdom var den största källan till känslan av missnöje. Förnöjsamheten upplevdes av att känna trygghet och att kunna utföra för dem meningsfulla sysslor. Sociala relationer var viktiga, men påverkades ibland av känslan att inte duga. Vardagen i ordinärt boende innebar olika sysselsättningar och hanterades med hjälp av olika strategier och en viss acceptans. Studiens slutsats visar att personer med demenssjukdom upplever sin livssituation och vardag tillfredsställande och hanterbar i ordinärt boende med behovsanpassat stöd och hjälp.
Several people are living with dementia disease and the numbers are expected to rise as the population ages. The aim of the study was that by people with dementia disease and their narratives describe the experiences of living in ordinary housing and deal with daily life. The study has been carried out through unstructured interviews with nine people with dementia disease who are over 65 years old and living in ordinary housing. Data were processed by qualitative manifest content analysis. The results are presented in six categories dealing with limitations in daily life, altered self, feeling of dissatisfaction, the feeling of contentedness, social relationships and strategies.The older persons experienced limitations and were dependence on others because of their dementiadisease. Bitterness to have suffered illness was the main source of the feeling of dissatisfaction. Contentedness was perceived by feeling safe and be able to perform for them meaningful tasks. Social relations were important, but sometimes influenced by the feeling of not being good enough. Everyday living in ordinary housing meant different pursuits and handled by using different strategies and a certain acceptance. The conclusion of the study shows that people with dementia disease perceive their life situation and everyday living satisfying and manageable in ordinary housing with appropriate support and assistance.

Abstract:

This thesis aims first to investigate whether solar panels on the container can provide the process of desalination with energy at the desired location, as well as to dimension a photovoltaic system and battery storage that can run the facility off-grid. Then investigate whether solar cells can be an effective energy solution for Millennium Desalination Device (MDD). The results of this study show that the most annual solar production from containers is 11 510 kWh in Gobabeb, Namibia with a modular efficiency of 22,8 %, which corresponds to 8,2 % operating time per year and is the longest operating time that can be obtained from the all three scenarios. This means that with existing technology and only solar panels on the container, desalination plant is impossible to drive all year round off-grid. The installed power for driving 100 % operating time for one year is 141 kW in Gobabeb and 179 kW in Visby, the corresponding module surface will be lowest 618 m2 and 1184 m2 with modular efficiency of 22,8 %, but there are no additional spaces for all equipment like MDD, solar cells and battery in the container. If the operating time drops to 50 %, the installed power will be 71 kW in Gobabeb, the corresponding module surface will be lowest 415 m2 and battery storage capacity will be at least 160 kWh. Net volume with all equipment will be less than the volume of the container. The cost will be at least 0.2 Swedish kronor per liter of pure water produced with a life of 25 year for solar modules. Usage fee per liter of delivered water is 0.03 Swedish kronor in Gotland and it means MDD is not a cost-effective solution for Gotland at nowadays. But costs may fall in the future with the price reduction of solar cells and batteries. For water shortage areas, this can be a valuable way to solve the water crisis, but it also depends mostly on the area’s water price.

Abstract:

Syfte: Syftet med studien var att undersöka tidshantering hos personer med lindrig utvecklingsstörning som bor i kommunalt boende med särskilt service. Frågeställningar; Hur hanterar denna målgrupp sin tid? Om målgruppen hanterar sin tid självständigt gör de det med säkerhet eller osäkerhet? Metod: En kvantitativ studie genomfördes i form av en enkätundersökning. Studien genomfördes i ett län i Mellansverige och riktades sig direkt till personer med lindrig utvecklingsstörning som bor i kommunalt boende med särskild service. Enkäten bestod av fem frågor med fem svarsalternativ. Frågorna behandlade olika aspekter som berör tidshantering i vardagen. Resultatet illustrerades i form av stapeldiagram. Resultat: Totalt deltog 79 personer i studien. Resultatet, baserat på samtliga frågor, visade att 47 % av deltagarna hanterar sin tid med osäkerhet, 45 % av deltagarna känner en säkerhet över sin tidshantering och endast 2 % av deltagarna använder sig av tidshjälpmedel. Den återstående andelen hanterar sin tid på annat sätt eller valde att inte svara. Slutsats: Utifrån resultatet från denna studie samt tidigare forskning kopplad till studien anses att fler personer med lindrig utvecklingsstörning är i behov av tidshjälpmedel för ökad självständighet. För att gå djupare in i frågeställningen om personerna hanterar sin tid med säkerhet eller osäkerhet rekommenderas vidare forskning kring detta i form av en intervjustudie.

Full text

Abstract:

Positive-stranded (+)RNA viruses replicate inside cells and depend on many cellular factors to complete their infection cycle. In the meanwhile, (+)RNA viruses face the host innate immunity, such as cell-intrinsic restriction factors that could block virus replication. Firstly, I have established that the plant DDX17-like RH30 DEAD-box helicase conducts strong inhibitory function on tombusvirus replication when expressed in plants and yeast surrogate host. This study demonstrates that RH30 blocks the assembly of viral replicase complex, the activation of RNA-dependent RNA polymerase function of p92pol and viral RNA template recruitment. In addition, the features rendering the abundant plant DEAD-box helicases either antiviral or pro-viral functions in tombusvirus replication are intriguing. I found the reversion of the antiviral function of DDX17-like RH30 DEAD-box helicase and the coopted pro-viral DDX3-like RH20 helicase due to deletion of unique N-terminal domains. The discovery of the sequence plasticity of DEAD-box helicases that can alter recognition of different cis-acting elements in the viral genome illustrates the evolutionary potential of RNA helicases in the arms race between viruses and their hosts. Moreover, I discovered that Xpo1 possesses an anti-viral function and exports previously characterized cell-intrinsic restriction factors (CIRFs) from the nucleus to the replication compartment of tombusviruses. Altogether, in my PhD studies, I found plant RH30 DEAD-box helicase is a potent host restriction factor inhibiting multiple steps of the tombusvirus replication. In addition, I provided the evidence supporting that the Nterminal domain determines the functions of antiviral DDX17-like RH30 DEAD-box helicase and pro-viral DDX3-like RH20 DEAD-box helicase in tombusvirus replication. Moreover, I discovered the emerging significance of the Xpo1-dependent nuclear export pathway in tombusvirus replication.

Abstract:

Studien syftar till att undersöka hur personer som bor i en bruksort och jobbar inom industri upplever betydelsen av klass i deras liv och hur/om det påverkar deras identitet. För att svara på detta användes frågeställningarna: Hur positionerar sig deltagarna inom en upplevd klasstruktur? På vilket sätt upplever studiedeltagarna att klass spelar/inte spelar roll för deras identitet? På vilket sätt upplever studiedeltagarna att klass spelar/inte spelar roll för deras gruppidentitet? Under vilka omständigheter upplever deltagarna att klass är betydelsefullt? Undersökningen skedde genom intervjuer med personer som arbetar inom industri i samma bruksort. Tidigare forskning visar att klassidentitet fortfarande är avgörande i en rad avseenden. Exempelvis påverkar det i stor utsträckning vad för kultur man konsumerar och vilka fritidsaktiviteter man ägnar sig åt. Däremot visar forskningen att klassidentitet och objektiv klasstillhörighet sällan överensstämmer vilket tyder på att klassidentitet bör förstås som en ”fiktiv identitet”. Post och senmoderna teoretiker hävdar samtidigt att det har skett en individualisering av identitet. Att skapandet av en identitet är ett reflexivt projekt där klassidentitet inte längre är relevant. Studien visar att deltagarna präglas av en mångtydig föreställning av klass och identifierar sig både som arbetarklass och medelklass samtidigt. Samtidigt uttrycker deltagarna en identitet i relation till bruksorten de lever i som överordnad klassidentiteter. Man upplever inte att klass präglar bruksorten dels för att man inte ser tydliga klasskillnader men också på grund av att ämnet är så främmande.

Abstract:

Bakgrund Demenssjukdomar, som blir allt vanligare, kan medföra beteendemässiga och psykiska symtomvid demens (BPSD). Dessa symtom förekommer någon gång hos ungefär 90 % av alla personermed demenssjukdom. BPSD kan innebära ett stort lidande för såväl den demenssjuke som fördennes anhöriga samt en yrkesmässig utmaning för vårdpersonalen. Syfte Syftet med denna litteraturstudie är att belysa olika utbildningar för personal som arbetar isärskilda boenden och vårdar brukare med oro/agitation kopplat till BPSD samt att beskriva deneffekt utbildningarna givit vad gäller oro/agitation som är kopplat till BPSD. Metod En litteraturstudie har genomförts med sökning i databaserna ”PubMed” och ”CINAHL”. Åttakvantitativa interventionsstudier som motsvarade syftet har analyserats och granskats.ResultatVi har i denna studie kommit fram till att utbildningar som syftat till individanpassade strategierför brukarna har givit positiv effekt vad gäller oro/agitation. Slutsats Studierna vi tittat på uppfattades vid en första anblick som tämligen olika. De har varierat mellanlängre och kortare utbildningar samt har haft olika innehåll, men det som vi har kunnat se somden gemensamma nämnaren för alla dessa utbildningar är att fokus ligger på individen och inte påsjälva sjukdomen. I denna studie har vi kunnat se ett positivt samband mellan personalutbildningsom syftar till individanpassade insatser och en minskad oro/agitation hos brukare med BPSD.
Background Dementia can cause behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD). Thesesymptoms may occur sometimes in approximately 90% of all people with dementia. BPSD caninvolve a great deal of suffering for both the person suffering from dementia as for his or herfamily and constitutes a professional challenge for the staff. Aim The aim of this study is to illustrate some of the educational interventions that exists for the staffcaring for persons suffering from anxiety/agitation caused by BPSD, the effect those interventionshas had on anxiety/agitation related to BPSD. Method A literature search has been made in the databases ”PubMed” and ”CINAHL”. A total of eightquantitative articles were selected, reviewed and analysed.ResultsThe result of this study indicated that staff education that aims to give individualized interventionsfor the residents seem to have a positive effect on anxiety/agitation on persons suffering fromdementia. Conclusions The educational interventions reviewed in this study was at a first glance quite different from eachother but the thing that was common in all the studies was that they aimed to give individualizedinterventions for the residents. In this study, we could see a positive connection between staffeducation aiming to give individualized interventions based on the resident’s preferences and adecreased level of anxiety/agitation in residents suffering from BPSD.

Abstract:

Introduktion: Attention Deficit (Hyperactivity) Disorder (AD(H)D/ ADD) och Autismspektrumstillstånd (AST) är livslånga tillstånd som ger påtagliga konsekvenser för individen. Förekomst av andra utvecklingsrelaterade tillstånd liksom fysisk och psykisk samsjuklighet är vanligt. Kunskapen om den motoriska förmågan hos vuxna med neuropsykiatriska tillstånd är begränsad. Syfte: Undersöka och beskriva den motoriska förmågan hos vuxna med ADHD, ADD och Autismspektrumstörning. Jämföra diagnosgrupperna och undersöka eventuella skillnader. Metod: I studien ingick 151 personer som diagnostiserats i vuxen ålder. Den motoriska förmågan undersöktes med Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency, BOT-2. BOT-2 är ett normbaserat, validerat testbatteri som utgörs av fyra motoriska områden uppdelat på åtta delområden, som ger en sammanlagd poäng. Datamaterialet har analyserats med One Way ANOVA, oberoende t-test, Kruskal- Wallis test och Mann Whitney U-test. Deskriptiva data jämfördes med normvärden i BOT-2. Resultat: Jämfört med normvärden i BOT-2 låg 56% av studiepopulationen på en genomsnittlig nivå, 39 % under genomsnittet och övriga väl under genomsnittet i totalpoäng. I området handmotorisk kontroll låg medelvärdet i alla tre grupper under det normerade medelvärdet. Gruppen med Autismspektrumtillstånd hade nedsättningar inom flest områden jämfört med normvärden I AST gruppen låg resultaten i balans och bilateral koordination signifikant lägre jämfört med grupperna ADHD och ADD. I finmotorisk kontroll presterade ADD gruppen signifikant högre än i ADHD gruppen. Konklusion: Nedsättningar i den motoriska förmågan förefaller vanligt hos vuxna med ADHD, ADD och Autismspektrumtillstånd, och särskilt hos dem med AST. Vid neuropsykiatriska utredningar av vuxna bör också den motoriska förmågan bedömas. Mer forskning om förekomsten och behandling av motoriska nedsättningar vid neuropsykiatriska tillstånd är angeläget.
Introduction: Attention Deficit (Hyperactivity) Disorder (ADHD/ADD) and Austim Spectrums Disorder (ASD) are lifelong conditions that often causes severe consequences for the individual. The co-existens of related neurodevelopmental disorders as well as mental and physical illness is common. Knowledge about motor performance in adults is limited. Aims: To explore och describe motor performance in adults diagnosed with ADHD, ADD och Austism Spectrum Disorder. To performe group comparisons and explore differences between groups. Methods: The population consisted of 151 inividuals diagnosed as adults. Motor abilities were examined using the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency, second edition, a reference-based test of fine och gross motor skills. BOT-2 consits of eight subscales organized in four composits, and a total score. One Way ANOVA, independent t-test, Kruskal- Wallis test and Mann Whitney U statistic tests were used in the analysis. Descriptive data was analysed according to normbased data in BOT-2. Resultat: In the population 56% perform within average and 39 % below average in Total Point score, compared to values in BOT-2. All groups performed below average in Manual Coordination. Most deficits appeared in the ASD group. The ASD group scored significantly lower in bilateral coordination and balance compared to the ADHD and ADD group. In Fine Motor Control the ADHD group performed significantly lower than the ADD group. Conclusion: Deficits in motor performance appears to be common in adults with the diagnosis ADHD, ADD och ASD, especially among individuals with ASD. When adults are clinically investigated, motor abilities should also be adressed. Further studies exploring motor abilities is recommended.

The knowledge of a pest behavior is essential for the damage intensity understanding. The objective was to study the feeding behaviour and damage output by Anthonomus grandis in five cotton cultivars. It was evaluated the period of A. grandis major and minor feeding and oviposition preference, the within-plant distribution of flower buds with feeding and oviposition punctures on the plant canopy, the feeding preference for squares at different ages and also the square abscission time after the first feeding puncture. It was used a randomized block design in a split plot design with eight repetitions. Evaluations were performed weekly on five plants per plot. For feeding preference for squares at different ages and the time for its abscission after the first feeding puncture study, were observed in 20 plants/cultivar 20 randomly squares, which were monitored daily. NuOPAL, DeltaOPAL, and FMX-910 were used for feeding throughout the flowering and fruiting period, and FMT-701 and FMX-993 only at the beginning and end of this period. DeltaOPAL, FMX-910, and FMX-993 were used for oviposition throughout the flowering and fruiting period, and NuOPAL and FMT-701 only at the beginning and end of this period. It was observed a feeding preference for flower buds on the medium ans upper parts of the plants and oviposition preference for flower buds on the upper part of the plants for all five cultivars. The boll weevil feeding preference was on squares with two days on NuOPAL and FMX-910 and seven days on DeltaOPAL, FMT-701, and FMX-993. The square abscission time was 1 to 2 days after the first feeding puncture in all cultivars

Abstract:

This thesis explores the relationship between musical tastes and dance practices in a popular dance style known as breaking or b-boying/b-girling. It is based on a multi-sited ethnography involving the participation in and observation of the practices of breaking, as well as interviews with individual b-boys and b-girls, who often travelled between cities as part of their practices. Although there were many interesting and contradictory observations and participant responses provided by this multigenerational, multicultural scene, one theme emerged as central. 'Vernacular' or street dancers make consistent claims that "it's all about the music." This is to challenge assumptions in current academic writing on the relationship of music and dance. On one hand, many contemporary dance writers argue that musical tastes have little to do with choreographic practices and the meanings of dance performances. On the other hand, sociological accounts of musical tastes rarely consider dance practice in their analyses. The result is that musical tastes are under-theorised in accounts of dance performance, and vice versa. Hennion's (2007) assertion that taste is an activity provides a foundation for a new argument. I propose that taste is an activity that, when theorised in terms of music and dance practices, suggests new epistemological avenues for studies of popular dance. Put simply, I argue that, in breaking practices, dance is a performance of musical taste. This performance of taste has a variety of avenues - from hip hop theatre performances, to international battles, master class workshops, club nights and local events – and in each new context, the relationship between music and dance transforms. These shifts in selection reveal that the dance is not just “about the music,” but also about how tastes are mediated, negotiated and competed over.

Inaktivitet i samhället ökar, och en av konsekvenserna för detta är att allt flera lider av övervikt och fetma. Andelen överviktiga barn i USA, Europa och Australien har ökat 2-3 gånger under de senaste 25 åren. I denna studie undersöktes kondition och aktivitetsvanor hos årskurs 7 och 8 mellan en glesbygdskola och en tätortskola. 16 elever från varje skola deltog i studien, 8 av varje kön. Enkät och Åstrand steptest användes. Resultatet visar att det inte fanns någon skillnad mellan en tätortskola och en glesbygdskola vad gäller konditionsvärden. Avseende enkätsvaren framkom att en något större andel glesbygdseleverna är medlem i en idrottsförening jämfört med tätortseleverna, samt att glesbygdens elever saknade olika fritidsaktiviteter. I denna studie fann man ingen betydelse om man som 14-15 åring går på en skola i glesbygden jämfört med en skola i tätorten vad gäller konditionsnivå.

It was evaluated the period of A. grandis major and minor feeding and oviposition preference, the within-plant distribution of flower buds with feeding and oviposition punctures on the plant canopy, the feeding preference for squares at different ages and also the square abscission time after the first feeding puncture. It was used a randomized block design in a split plot design with eight repetitions. Evaluations were performed weekly on five plants per plot. For feeding preference for squares at different ages and the time for its abscission after the first feeding puncture study, were observed in 20 plants/cultivar 20 randomly squares, which were monitored daily. NuOPAL, DeltaOPAL, and FMX-910 were used for feeding throughout the flowering and fruiting period, and FMT-701 and FMX-993 only at the beginning and end of this period. DeltaOPAL, FMX-910, and FMX-993 were used for oviposition throughout the flowering and fruiting period, and NuOPAL and FMT-701 only at the beginning and end of this period. It was observed a feeding preference for flower buds on the medium ans upper parts of the plants and oviposition preference for flower buds on the upper part of the plants for all five cultivars. The boll weevil feeding preference was on squares with two days on NuOPAL and FMX-910 and seven days on DeltaOPAL, FMT-701, and FMX-993. The square abscission time was 1 to 2 days after the first feeding puncture in all cultivars

Abstract:

Introduktion: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, ADHD, är en vanlig neuropsykiatrisk diagnos hos vuxna i Sverige med en prevalens på 2,5%. Karakteristiska problem är hyperaktivitet, impulsivitet och ouppmärksamhet. Attention Deficit Disorder, ADD, är en form av ADHD som innebär problem med uppmärksamhet och koncentration. Kunskapen om förekomst av motorikstörningar hos vuxna personer med ADHD och ADD är ännu begränsad. Syfte: Undersöka och beskriva motorisk förmåga hos en grupp vuxna med ADHD och ADD samt jämföra eventuella skillnader mellan dessa grupper. Metod: Denna studie är en del av ett större projekt vid Neurorehab Sävar, Västerbotten. Motorisk förmåga bedömdes för 109 personer enligt The Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency second edition, som i vuxen ålder fått diagnosen ADHD eller ADD. Testet är uppdelat i fyra motoriska områden; Fine Manual Control, Manual Coordination, Body Coordination, Strength and Agility, och en summering av alla områden: Total Motor Composite. Datamaterialet analyserades med oparade t-test och Mann-Whitney U-test och jämfördes deskriptivt mot normativa data. Resultat: Gruppen med ADD hade signifikant bättre poäng i Fine Manual Control än gruppen med ADHD: 60 (9) respektive 53 (10.75), p=0.027. Enligt beskrivande kategorier för Total Motor Composite hade 36,5% ur gruppen ADHD en individpoäng som var under till väl under genomsnittet jämfört med normativa data och 61.5% lika med genomsnittet. Gruppen ADD var 41.1% under till väl under genomsnittet och 59% lika med genomsnittet. Konklusion: Gruppen med ADD förefaller ha bättre finmotorik än gruppen med ADHD. Resultaten indikerar att motoriken är nedsatt hos vuxna personer med ADHD/ADD för över 30%. Ytterligare forskning om motorikstörning, vuxna och diagnosen behövs.

Abstract:

Ce travail s’inscrit dans le cadre de l’étude de plateformes polyphénoliques et, plus spécifiquement, des calixarènes. Des macrocycles oligomériques tels que les calixarènes, cyclodextrines, cyclotrivératrylènes, pillararènes, etc. sont fortement utilisés dans de nombreuses applications telles que la reconnaissance moléculaire, la détection, la séparation, le greffage sur surface, etc. Le développement de telles applications requiert toutefois modification sélective de ces macrocycles pour leur conférer des propriétés utiles aux applications visées (e.g. affinité envers certaines espèces chimiques, hydrosolubilité, activité photoluminescente). La modification sélective de tels macrocycles oligomériques est cependant loin d’être triviale car, en plus de requérir un contrôle des chimio- régio- et stéréosélectivités classiques, la réaction d’un nombre défini de fonctions identiques est une problématique clé qui doit être résolue. En effet, la fonctionnalisation des oligomères cycliques tels que les calixarènes passe par la formation de produits mono-, di-, tri-fonctionnalisés, et ainsi de suite de manière itérative. Par analogie avec des processus itératifs, nous avons proposé le terme « itérosélectivité » pour décrire la sélectivité qui gouverne le nombre de transformations chimiques répétées. Dans ce contexte, nous avons proposé des stratégies rationnelles et hautement sélectives pour la fonctionnalisation de calixarènes. Ces stratégies exploitent principalement des réactions de carbamatation pour introduire sélectivement des groupements tert-butylaminocarbonyle (Bac) sur les positions phénoliques des calixarènes. Citons notamment la carbamatation « all-but-one » qui permet d’introduire itérosélectivement des groupements Bac sur tous les phénols sauf un pour une grande variété de calixarènes. De plus, l’utilisation de ces groupements Bac comme groupe protecteur nous a permis de synthétiser de nombreux dérivés calixaréniques jusqu’alors inaccessibles suivant les voies de fonctionnalisation connues. Certains de ces composés présentent notamment une chiralité inhérente. En dehors de nos travaux, aucune voie de fonctionnalisation sélective de calixarènes décrite à ce jour n’est aussi générale et efficace. Nous avons également présenté une nouvelle voie d’oxydation de calixarènes en calixquinones. Cette voie présente moins de risques pour la santé et l’environnement que la méthode la plus couramment utilisée à ce jour employant un sel de thallium, métal extrêmement toxique. Les différents aspects synthétiques développés ont permis de synthétiser des boites moléculaires originales dérivées de calixarènes qui ont été étudiées pour leurs propriétés intéressantes dans le cadre de la reconnaissance sélective de petites molécules dont l’eau et le DMSO, ainsi que le piégeage de gaz à l’état solide dont l’hexafluorure de soufre qui est le gaz à effet de serre le plus puissant répertorié à ce jour. Pour finir, la caractérisation poussée d’une bibliothèque de dérivés calixaréniques par spectroscopie de résonance magnétique nucléaire a permis de décrire une méthode générale pour la caractérisation structurale et conformationnelle des calixarènes.
This work concerns the study of polyphenolic platforms, and more particularly, of calixarenes. Oligomeric macrocycles such as calixarenes, cyclodextrins, cyclotriveratrylenes, pillararenes, etc. are widely used as molecular platforms in supramolecular chemistry and in particular for the design of sensors, catalysts, multivalent systems, biomimetic receptors, etc. In general, the synthesis of such supramolecular systems requires the controlled introduction of functional groups on the precursor platform. However, the development of efficient methods for selective modification of macrocyclic oligomers remains extremely challenging. Indeed, in addition to the control of the classical chemo-, regio-, and stereoselectivities, the reaction of a defined number of identical functional groups is a key issue that must be solved. Indeed, the functionalization of oligomeric macrocycles such as calixarenes goes through the formation of mono-, di, tri-functionalized products and so on, iteratively. By analogy with iterative processes, we proposed to name “iteroselectivity” the kind of selectivity that governs the number of repeating chemical transformations. In this context, we proposed rational and highly selective strategies for the functionalization of calixarenes. These strategies are mainly based on the carbamatation of calixarene phenolic functions to introduce tert-butylaminocarbonyl groups (i.e. Bac groups). Our leading example is the “all-but-one” carbamatation which can be used to introduce Bac groups on all but one phenol of a large variety of calixarenes. Moreover, using Bac groups as protecting groups led to the synthesis of numerous calixarene derivatives which were, until now, not accessible through conventional means. It is noteworthy that some of these compounds are inherently chiral. No other selective functionalization method described for calixarenes is as general and efficient than this “all-but-one” carbamatation. Besides, we also described a new oxidation method to synthesize calixquinone starting from calixarenes. This method is less risky and more environment-friendly than the most commonly used method which rely on thallium salts, an extremely toxic metal. Through the various synthetic methods developed herein, we also developed calixarene-based molecular boxes. The host–guest properties of these molecular boxes were studied revealing their ability to include small molecules such as water or DMSO. We also developed a method to sequester gases in the solid state relying on an original concept involving calix[6]arene-based molecular boxes. This was exemplified with the sequestration of SF6, known as the most potent greenhouse gas. At last, the extensive characterization of a library of calixarene derivatives by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy led to the development of a general method for the structural and conformational characterization of calixarenes.

Abstract:

During the Cold War, the largest threat against the countries of Europe was an enemy attack or invasion. After the end of the Cold War, the strategic environment changed drastically. The impending threat of a large-scale war was gone and the countries of Europe approached each other in the hope of cooperation with mutual benefits. As the old threat faded away, new threats which were significantly more dynamic and complex emerged. Threats such as terrorism, proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, organised crime over the boarders and state failure became more apparent, both, in Europe and in its proximity. Irregular conflicts as in Kosovo and Afghanistan showed an assortment of the various threats. This complexity poses as a big challenge for the officers of today and tomorrow. It is of vital importance that both current and future military commanders are well educated in the complexities of their line of work. The first step to achieve this is ensuring that adequate education in the subject is given. In this thesis, the author researches to what extent the Swedish National Defence College and the Theresan Military Academy choose to educate their officer cadets regarding the new threats. The purpose of researching more than one country is to enable a discussion on eventual areas of improvement in the two countries’ curricula, within the context of the common threats. The author chose Austria because of its many similarities to Sweden. The methodological approach of the thesis is mainly of a quantitative nature. The author researches whether the different threats are found in both national and military strategies as well as in the curricula of the two academies’ Basic Officer Education. The study shows that more education is needed regarding certain threats. More training is needed regarding cyber security as a result of the growing dependence on IT systems and digital information. In addition, an international collaboration could yield potential benefits for both officer cadets’ problem solving skills and their knowledge of the ESS.
Under det kalla kriget var det största hotet mot länderna i Europa ett fientligt angrepp eller invasion. Efter det kalla krigets slut förändrades den säkerhetspolitiska miljön avsevärt. Det överhängande hotet om storskaligt krig var borta och Europas länder närmade sig varandra i hopp om samarbete med ömsesidig nytta. I takt med att det gamla hotet bleknade så växte det fram andra hot som var betydligt mer dynamiska och komplexa. Hot som terrorism, spridning av massförstörelsevapen, organiserad brottslighet över gränserna och nedbrytning av svaga stater blev allt mer påtagliga, både i Europa och i dess närområde. Irreguljära konflikter som i Kosovo och i Afghanistan uppvisade en blandning av de olika hoten. Denna komplexitet innebär stora utmaningar för både dagens och morgondagens officerare. Det är av yttersta vikt att både nutida och framtida militära chefer och beslutsfattare är väl insatta i hur komplexa uppgifterna faktiskt kan komma att vara i deras yrkesutövning. Det första steget för att nå detta är att adekvat utbildning i ämnet ges. I detta arbete undersöker författaren i vilken utsträckning Försvarshögskolan i Sverige och Theresianische Militärakademie i Österrike utbildar sina officersaspiranter gällande de nya hoten. Syftet med att undersöka mer än ett land är för att kunna diskutera eventuella förbättringsmöjligheter i de två ländernas utbildningar, kopplat till de EU- gemensamma hoten. Författaren valde Österrike för dess många likheter med Sverige. Arbetets tillvägagångssätt är främst genom en kvantitativ metod. Författaren undersöker huruvida de olika hoten återfinns i såväl nationella som militära strategier och i kursinnehållen för de båda ländernas grundläggande officersutbildning. Studien visar att mer utbildning behövs avseende vissa hot, bland annat gällande cybersäkerhet som ett resultat av det växande beroendet av IT-system och digital information. Dessutom hade ett internationellt samarbete inneburit potentiella fördelar gällande både kadetters förmåga till problemlösning samt deras kunskap om ESS.

Jag har gjort en kvalitativ studie där jag intervjuat tre par, där minst en av informanterna i varje par bodde på SÄBO (särskilt boende för äldre, även kallat äldreboende). För att förstå och analysera de äldres berättelser av sina relationer och sin kärlek till varandra har jag använt mig av en tolkande fenomenologisk analys. Jag vill med min uppsats bredda synen på närhet och kärlek hos par boende på SÄBO samt öppna upp för begreppet ”äldre-existens” som ett svar på det jag kallar samhällets obligatoriska ungdomlighet. Min intention är att ge en fördjupad förståelse för begreppet ”närhet” för att kunna förstå äldre personers relationer och kärlek utan att bidra till den sexualisering och avsexualisering som forskare ofta faller in i när de studerar äldres relationer.

Abstract:

Bakgrund Det finns ännu inga etablerade officiella gränsvärden för övervikt och fetma som är baserade på proportionen fettmassa (FM%) utan de gränsvärden som finns är utgår body mass index (BMI) eller midjemått. Syfte Att utveckla modeller för att prediktera FM, procentuellt och i kg, utifrån antropometriska mått hos unga och medelålders (20-49 år) svenska män. Vidare syftar uppsatsen till att undersöka vilka värden för FM% som motsvarar 25 kg/m2 och 30 kg/m2 i BMI och samt för 94 cm och 102 cm i midjemått. Metod Männen har rekryterats med hjälp av en mödravårdscentral, kvinnohälsan, i Linköping i samband med ett projekt om utveckling av barnfetma. Totalt 136 män undersöktes med Bod Pod, en maskin som mäter kroppssammansättning med hög validitet. Vidare mättes antropometriska mått såsom vikt, längd och midjemått vid mättillfället. Resultat Regressionsmodellerna med midjemått och BMI (r=0,94) samt midjemått (r=0,94) var de som var signifikant högst korrelerade till FM (kg). De regressionsmodellerna som förklarade mest av variansen i FM% var de med 1) M/L (midja/längd), midjemått och BMI 2) M/L och 3) midjemått som oberoende variabler (r=0,86-0,88). Ett BMI på 25 kg/m2 och 30 kg/m2 motsvaras av 23, respektive 32 FM%. Motsvarande värden för midjemått 94 och 102 cm var 25, respektive 31 FM%. Slutsats Midjemått och M/L (midjemått/längd) är bäst för att prediktera mängden fettmassa (FM), både i procent och kg. BMI 25 kg/m2 motsvarar 23±1 i FM% och BMI 30 kg/m2 korresponderas av 32±2 i FM%.
Introduction Currently, no official cut-offs regarding overweight and obesity based on proportion fat mass (FM%) are available. Existing cut-offs are instead derived from body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference. Aim To develop equations to predict FM, in percent and kg, from anthropometric measures in young and middle aged (20-49 years of age) Swedish men. Also, this paper aims to investigate which values for FM% that corresponds to firstly 25 kg/m2 and 30 kg/m2 in BMI and secondly to 94 cm and 102 cm in waist circumference. Methods The men in the study were recruited in collaboration with a maternity clinic, kvinnohälsan, in Linköping. In total, 136 men were measured by the means of Bod Pod, a device that measures body composition in a valid manner. Anthropometric measures such as weight, height and waist circumference were measured. Results The regression models with waist circumference and BMI (r=0,94) and waist circumference (r=0,94) were significantly strongest related to FM (kg). The regression models who explained most of the variability in FM% were the ones with 1) W/H (waist circumference/height), waist circumference and BMI 2) W/H and 3) waist circumference as independent variables. A BMI of 25 kg/m2 and 30 kg/m2 corresponds to a FM% of 23 and 32, respectively. Corresponding values for waist circumference (94 and 102 cm) were 25 FM% and 31 FM%, respectively. Conclusion Waist circumference and W/H were the best variables to predict fat mass, both in percent and kg. BMI 25 kg/m2 corresponds to a FM% of 23±1 while BMI 30 kg/m2 is equivalent to 32±2 in FM%.

Abstract:

This paper aims to examine the different perspectives that emerged during the debate surrounding the right-wing newspaper “Nya Tider” and their participation at the Swedish bookfair in Gothenburg back in 2017. The study relies on the theoretical foundation that is known as Spiral of Silence and Agenda-Setting. But is examined and operationalized by the historical perspective given by John Durham Peters in his book “courting the abyss”. Peters portrays in his book a variety of different takes on the free speech phenomenon. The study’s aim was then to see if similar perspective were protruding now as it has before.A research question regarding what perspective were protruding in the debate that followed “Nya Tider” and their announcement that they were going to attend the bookfair once again where therefore coined. The direct translation of this questions is “What perspective of where the limit of free speech should be drawn is present in the Swedish media outlet regarding the debate of “Nya Tider” participation at the book fair in Gothenburg 2017.In order to examine what perspective protruded in the debate the approach of a qualitative content analysis was deemed the best way to examine the phenomenon. A total of (n) 36 articles were systematically analyzed and a total of 4 perspectives where formed, the liberal, the absolutistic libertarian, the opponent perspective and the victim perspective. Each one different from each other. The study also examined the level occurrence of the different perspective and found that in 18 out of the 36 article’s the opponent perspective where present, whereas the absolutistic libertarian perspective only occurs in 4 out of the 36 articles’. A big difference where therefor found in what coverage the different perspectives were given in the Swedish news outlets.In a time where political censorship is at a rise around Europe with the implementation of laws that prevent people from speaking their minds. Or compelling them to address people a certain way, not by choice but by legislation, the need to examine what perspectives are occurring in our media might for the uneducated seem like a vague way to approach a complicated matter.But Agenda-Setting research has shown that the media agenda affects both the public agenda as well as the legislative part of our society. Therefore, a lack of occurrence of certain perspectives can also affect what laws are put in place. It is therefore imperative to examine what sort of perspective occurs in the Swedish debate to prevent an infraction of the Swedish free speech law, and to keep Sweden a free, secular society.

Abstract:

“While we read the books, the books read us. Can books read people? Of course they can!How else would they know everything about us?” (Lennart Hellsing)

This quote shows how important books are to us humans, the youth today and the youth oftomorrow. Our study focuses on how literature matters to young people today, their experiences and reflections of reading and the literature teaching in school. The study assumes a pupils’ point of view and the analysis is based on a questionnaire, where pupils from the ninth grade describe their own reading habits and reading experiences, in school as well as in their leisure time. Previous research shows a complex picture of the changes in Swedish young people’s reading habits, but one important aspect is that boys tend to read less than girls. For this reason gender became a general perspective in this paper. Our study also shows that there are gender differences and that the boys do read less than the girls in the same age. There are various reasons for these tendencies among both boys and girls. For example parent’s education is one of the main reason why boys tend to read less then the girls.

Abstract:

SAMMANFATTNING Bakgrund: Det finns cirka 148 000 människor i Sverige som har diagnosen demens. Demenssjukdom innebär förlust av intellektuella funktioner med försämrat minne, personlighetsförändringar och svårigheter att kommunicera. Många vårdas på särskilda boenden och kommunsjuksköterskan har ofta ansvar för dessa patienter. Syftet: Syftet med studien var att beskriva kommunsjuksköterskans erfarenheter och upplevelser av att hantera akuta ohälsoproblem hos demenssjuka personer som bor på särskilt boende. Metod: Studien genomfördes med halvstrukturerade intervjuer där sex legitimerade sjuksköterskor valdes ut med minst tre års erfarenhet inom den kommunala hemsjukvården. Intervjuerna analyserades med en kvalitativ innehållsanalys och resulterade i två huvudkategorier. Resultat: Sjuksköterskan upplevde svårigheter att bedöma akuta ohälsotillstånd hos demenssjuka men vissa fall var solklara. De hade stöd av främst läkare och undersköterskor vid bedömningen. Sjuksköterskan hade rutiner när det gällde att skicka in patienten till sjukhuset. Även anhöriga involverades och deras önskemål respekterades. Slutsats: Resultatet visade att kommunsjuksköterskorna ansåg att erfarenhet underlättade bedömningen och att de helst ville behandla patienten på det särskilda boendet.

Full text

Abstract:

Translation control is a vital aspect of gene expression for both viruses and their cellular hosts. We have previously shown that the cellular mRNA decay activators Dhh1 and Lsm1-7 promote translation of positive-strand RNA [(+)RNA] viral genomes and their subsequent transport from the cellular translation machinery to replication complexes, a process that requires translation repression. These key steps in the replication of all (+)RNA viruses require profound rearrangements of the viral ribonucleoprotein (RNP) composition. How cellular decapping activators promote translation and replication of viral genomes remains unknown. Using the replication of the Brome mosaic virus in yeast, a fruitful model system for (+)RNA viral replication, we show that Dhh1 and Lsm1-7 function differentially in viral RNA translation and replication by assembling alternative mRNP complexes. The dependence on Dhh1 for viral RNA translation initiation is mediated by specific cis-acting sequences in the viral UTRs and a stem-loop in the ORF. Excitingly, by ribosome profiling analyses we identify a specific subset of cellular mRNAs that also depends on Dhh1 for translation. These mRNAs have as (+)RNA genomes long 5´UTR and highly structured 5´UTRs and ORFs. Moreover, they are enriched in mRNAs related to ribosome biogenesis. Interestingly, ribosome biogenesis is often altered in cancer cells and we and others determine that DDX6, the human ortholog of Dhh1, is indeed overexpressed in pancreatic and colon cancer. In conclusion, our results demonstrate that components of the cellular decapping machinery have a broad function in translational regulation. This enables fast fine-tuning of gene expression in response to perturbations.
El control de la traducción es un aspecto vital de la expresión génica tanto para los virus como para sus huéspedes celulares. Nuestro laboratorio ha demostrado que los activadores de la degradación del ARN mensajero celular, Dhh1 y Lsm1-7, promueven la traducción de los genomas de virus de ARN de cadena sencilla y polaridad positiva [(+)ARN] así como su transporte desde la maquinaria de traducción celular a los complejos de replicación, un proceso que necesita represión de la traducción. Estos pasos clave en la replicación de todos los virus (+)ARN requieren de una profunda reorganización en la composición de la ribonucleoproteina (RNP) viral. Cómo los activadores del decapping celular promueven la traducción y replicación de los genomas virales aún es desconocido. Utilizando la replicación del virus del mosaico del Bromus en levadura, un modelo muy usado para el estudio de la replicación de virus (+)ARN, hemos demostrado que Dhh1 y Lsm1-7 funcionan de manera distinta en la traducción y replicación del ARN viral mediante el ensamblaje de complejos alternativos de RNP. La dependencia de Dhh1 para la iniciación de la traducción del ARN viral está mediada por secuencias específicas cis-acting localizadas en las regiones no traducidas (RNTs) del virus y un stem-loop en el marco de lectura. Sorprendentemente, mediante el uso del ribosome profiling hemos identificado un grupo específico de ARN mensajeros celulares que también dependen de Dhh1 para su traducción. Estos ARN mensajeros tienen, como los genomas de los virus (+)ARN, 5’RNT largos y altamente estructurados, así como marcos de lectura altamente estructurados. Además, entre ellos abundan los ARN mensajeros relacionados con biogénesis ribosomal. Es interesante mencionar que la biogénesis ribosomal está normalmente alterada en células cancerosas y nosotros, y otros grupos, hemos determinado que DDX6, el ortólogo en humanos de Dhh1, está sobreexpresado en cáncer pancreático y de colon. En conclusión, nuestros resultados demuestran que componentes de la maquinaria de decapping celular tienen una amplia función en la regulación de la traducción. Este hecho permite un rápido y preciso ajuste de la expresión génica en respuesta a perturbaciones.

Resultatet visar att de unga vuxna utvecklar kunskap och kompetens på egen hand och genom egna erfarenheter utan någon större tillgång till sociala praktiker med socialrådgivare eller andra. Centralt är de unga vuxnas stora brist på lärsituationer och artefakter inom det efterfrågade kunskaps- och kompetensområdet vilket försvårar etableringsprocessen in i vuxenlivet. Förslag till framtida forskning är implementering av pedagogik i teori och praktik inom socialbiståndsinsatser.

The aim of this study was to increase the knowledge of how young adults develop skills and knowledge about housing and adult life with a socialculture perspective in terms of involvement, social practice and activity offers. The young adults in this study lived in their own homes thru social care named Ungbo in Halmstad. The study is qualitative and data collecting were done by chat, interviews and observations. The result shows that the young adults develop knowledge and skills mostly on their own and through own experience without any asset to social practices with the social workers or other people. Central is the Young adult lack of learning situations and artefacts with in the acquired skill- and competence which makes the stabling process in to adult life much harder. More studies in the future should be bases in pedagogy theory and practice in social care efforts.

The aim of this study is to show that the creation of the Law no. 12,858 / 2013 has an irrelevant effect in the short term, regarding issues related to health and education problems. By adopting some assumptions capable of modeling the obtained database and estimating oil production using the SARIMA, Holt-Winters and Kalman Filter models, combined with the price forecast, the portrayed results can consistently reflect the impacts brought by this law. The problem becomes even bigger in a long-term horizon, in which the migration of revenue from royalties will overwhelmingly affect the entities who benefit from it.
Este trabalho tem como objetivo mostrar que a criação da Lei n° 12.858/2013 possui um efeito irrelevante no curto prazo, no que tange as questões ligadas aos problemas da saúde e educação. Adotando algumas premissas capazes de modelar o banco de dados obtido e estimando a produção do petróleo utilizando os modelos SARIMA, Holt-Winters e Filtro de Kalman, combinadas com a previsão dos preços, os resultados apresentados conseguem refletir de forma consistente os impactos trazidos por esta lei. O problema ainda se torna maior em um horizonte de longo prazo, onde a migração da receita provida dos royalties afetará de forma devastadora os entes que se beneficiam dela.

Abstract:

En ständig förändring sker med nutidens klimat. Förbränning av fossila bränslen leder till att växthuseffekten ständigt höjs. Temperaturen på jorden ökar, isarna smälter och havet stiger. FN sammankallade hösten 2015 till ett klimatmöte i Paris med syfte att minska hastigheten på nutidens klimatförändringar. Allt ovanstående kan leda till att den värld vi lever i idag inte kommer vara igenkännbar om ett 100-tal år. Syftet med arbetet är således att uppvisa om det finns några skillnader i uppfattning hos elever och lärare boende vid kusten kontra de som bor i inlandet, när det gäller klimat- och havsnivåförändringar. För att få en didaktisk koppling till undersökningen valdes en fördjupning som inriktade sig på vad elever och lärare i Sverige besitter för kunskap om nutidens klimatförändringar. Det skapades tre frågeställningar som hade som ändamål att jämföra elever samt lärares tankar och åsikter med utgångspunkten i var de är lokaliserade i Sverige. Huvudsyftet med arbetet är följaktligen att undersöka om det förekommer några likheter eller skillnader bland personer som bor vid Sveriges kust eller i inlandet. Temat för undersökningarna är således klimatförändringar med en inriktning på globalt höjd havsnivå. Undersökningen utförs med hjälp av två stycken metoder, kvalitativa intervjuer samt kvantitativa enkäter. Respondenter för de kvantitativa enkäterna är elever som går i årskurs 9. Det var 30 elever från kusten och 22 elever från inlandet som deltog i undersökningen. I de kvalitativa intervjuerna deltog en lärare från inlandet respektive en lärare från kusten. Resultatet av den jämförande undersökningen uppvisade en stor likhet mellan lärarna, trots deras geografiskt skilda områden. Genom analys av resultatet drogs slutsatsen att lärarna överlag delade en liknande uppfattning kring klimatförändringarna med inriktning på den globalt stigande havsnivån. Genom analys av resultatet framkom det att eleverna tyckte liknande om: förekomsten av undervisning inom ämnet klimatförändringar i skolan, åsikten att individen inte kan påverka miljön, att glaciärerna smälter samt tips på hur människan kan hantera en havsnivåhöjning på 10 till 15 meter. De frågor där resultatet skiljde sig åt behandlade: hur ofta eleverna tänker på klimatförändringar, trovärdigaste informationskällan innehållande fakta om klimat, hur eleverna skulle påverkas vid en havsnivåhöjning på 2 meter och hur ofta de besöker Sverige kust.

Abstract:

This thesis presents a novel Dynamic Gesture Language Recognition (DGLR) system for human-robot and inter-robot communication. We developed and implemented an experimental setup consisting of a humanoid robot/android able to recognize and execute in real time all the arm gestures of the Dynamic Gesture Language (DGL) in similar way as humans do. Our DGLR system comprises two main subsystems: an image processing (IP) module and a linguistic recognition system (LRS) module. The IP module enables recognizing individual DGL gestures. In this module, we use the bag-of-features (BOFs) and a local part model approach for dynamic gesture recognition from images. Dynamic gesture classification is conducted using the BOFs and nonlinear support-vector-machine (SVM) methods. The multiscale local part model preserves the temporal context. The IP module was tested using two databases, one consisting of images of a human performing a series of dynamic arm gestures under different environmental conditions and a second database consisting of images of an android performing the same series of arm gestures. The linguistic recognition system (LRS) module uses a novel formal grammar approach to accept DGL-wise valid sequences of dynamic gestures and reject invalid ones. LRS consists of two subsystems: one using a Linear Formal Grammar (LFG) to derive the valid sequence of dynamic gestures and another using a Stochastic Linear Formal Grammar (SLFG) to occasionally recover gestures that were unrecognized by the IP module. Experimental results have shown that the DGLR system had a slightly better overall performance when recognizing gestures made by a human subject (98.92% recognition rate) than those made by the android (97.42% recognition rate).

Abstract:

The aim of this paper is a summary of the theory necessary for a modification, detection of person and the height calculation of the detected person in the image. These information were then used for implementation of the algoritm. The first half reveals teoretical problems and solutions. Shows the basic methods of image preprocessing and discusses the basic concepts of plane and projective geometry and transformations. Then describes the distortion, that brings into the picture imperfections of optical systems of cameras and the possibilities of removing them. Explains HOG algorithm and the actual method of calculating height of person detected in the image. The second half describes algoritm structure and statistical evaluation.

Abstract:

This work is about position prediction in network, it is focused to find Landmark closest to the Host in the network (with lowest distance vector). The algorithm is based on GNP system. In terms of GNP system simulation was selected method for mathematical part of position prediction. The method was Simplex Downhill. The designed algorithm was implemented in Java. In the first step chose Host continent by meassuring the distance vector. In next step is selected nearest part in the continent. In conclusion estimate Host its position and then closest Landmark. Results from this work is important for designing TTP protocol. The verdict is that the GNP can be used for TTP, but Landmarks must be located in uniform density.
