IRB 340, Flexpicker is an industrial robot used for sorting, packaging and the handling of details up to two kg. The Flexpicker is a delta robot, meaning that it with three arms controls a triangular plate, swivel, in a work area shaped like a cylinder. Joints using plain bearings connect the arms.The plain bearing in use today consists of a plastic ring which slides against a hard anodized joint ball. Despite the fact that the plastic contain friction-lowering additives, the bearing needs to be lubricated to prevent noise. Because the robot is used in food and drug handling environments, where the demands on hygiene are set very high, the robot is often washed.

Background and problemThe Swedish mobile market is highly competitive despite the oligopoly that currently exists. A short product life cycle together with fads and new innovations puts pressure on the operators to respond to the ever changing environment and to develop and adapt their strategies after it.As a previous study regarding a specific operator?s strategy was cancelled due to the extensive confidentiality surrounding it, an interest was sparked to perform an industry analysis as this is clearly something the actors spend a great deal of time on developing. The launch of the 4G network will offer new opportunities for the operators regarding products services. It may also impact the competition on the overall market.PurposeThe purpose of this thesis is to present a deep analysis of the industry and give the reader a comprehensive picture of existing conditions.

SammanfattningSyfte och frågeställningarSyftet med denna uppsats var att undersöka hur berörda fotbollslag i senior- och ungdomsserierna har uppfattat lagvärdsarbetet, genom att problematisera och belysa behovet av lagvärdar och vilka effekter som lagen ser av detta arbete. De frågeställningar som vi använde var: Anser berörda lag att det finns ett fortsatt behov av lagvärdar och hur uppfattar lagen själv idén med lagvärdar? Uppnår lagvärdarna sitt syfte, utifrån Stockholms Fotbollförbunds riktlinjer? Är lagvärdsutbildningen tillräcklig, sett utifrån dagens utformning? Har säkerheten runt matcherna förbättrats, i och med införandet av lagvärdar?MetodVi har gjort en totalundersökning omfattande samtliga lag som spelar i Stockholms Fotbollförbunds seriesystem och omfattas av kravet på lagvärd. Datainsamling har skett i form av enkät, utformad i samråd med Stockholms Fotbollförbund.ResultatMajoriteten av de responderande lagen anser att ett fortsatt behov av lagvärd finns. På frågan om lagvärdarna uppfyller sitt syfte, skiftade svaren.

Introduktion: Hamstringsskador (HS) tillhör de mest prevalenta idrottsskadorna, och leder till förlorad match- och träningstid för utövaren. Skadan uppkommer oftast vid snabb löpning då muskulaturen tvingas bromsa benets framåtdrivande kraft. Styrka och flexibilitet i hamstringsmuskulaturen är två faktorer som anses ha betydelse både som riskfaktorer, och vid prevention samt rehabilitering av HS. Initialt efter skada är RICE-metoden allmänt vedertagen, och vid efterföljande rehabilitering används av dagens sjukgymnaster flera interventioner, däribland vanligast förekommande är styrketräning och stretching. Konsensus saknas dock beträffande dessa interventioners effektivitet.

This is a qualitative study made to find out individuals experience of life in the residential Kronoparken in Karlstad. The study is a part of a municipality supported project aiming to find points of improvement and work for the area's development. This study is a first step to hear in what way the residents themselves describe their neighborhood and their lives. A total of thirteen people participated in focus groups with semi-structured interviews as data collection and the study was based on an availability sample which in this case meant that citizens of the residential Kronoparken were asked to participate. Data were analyzed through thematic analysis and in the analysis three themes appeared that summed up what the participants talk about and emphasized most: a divided area, anticipation and valuation as well as a comfortable and healthy every day living.

The subject of this project focuses on how Landscape Architects by their profession can explore and directly make a difference in the cityscape. This paper documents the process of art - based research practice. The purpose of installing temporary activities is to encourage people in the city to discover, participate and invite people to be more playful in the city. My experience of interaction in public spaces comes primarily from the education within landscape architecture, from site-specific art installations I have performed in different cities and from observations of landscape architecture, street art and urban life in the cities of Vienna, Berlin and Linköping. It is fascinating and inspiring to see how the urban space can invite and allow visitors to participate and therefore feel invited to the open space. As a landscape architect I wish to create urban spaces that are useful and inspiring for their visitors. The projects main question: How can you make temporary landscapes that encourage outdoorinspired activities at selected locations in the city? is answered by practice based research, an approach in which theoretical research are developed through practical experiments in the designing- and implementation process.

Den här uppsatsen är en fallstudie inom ämnet inkongruent marknadsföring, där ett reklambyråperspektiv har antagits. Begreppet inkongruent marknadsföring är en term som brukar användas för att beskriva oväntade former av marknadsföring som även kan uppfattas som annorlunda, något som inte överensstämmer med konsumenters förväntningar. Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur inkongruent marknadsföring, med oväntade ?kändisar? i tv-reklam som fokus, kan stärka ett företags varumärke.Det som studien ämnar svara på är vad reklambyråer anser om inkongruent marknadsföring med oväntade kändisar i tv-reklamer, hur samarbetet mellan dess kunder går till gällande hur de ska utforma tv-reklamen, hur de förhåller sig till konsumenters förväntningar/associationer om ett varumärke och passform mellan kändis och produkt, samt reklambyråers uppfattning om hur ett varumärke kan stärkas med hjälp av inkongruent tv-reklam. Baserat på våra forskningsfrågor och uppsatsens syfte har undersökningsmetoden för detta arbete varit av kvalitativ karaktär.

I?ve tried to find the most effective and cost effective way to harvest straw for energy recovery.You can choose between round bales and big square bales. Square bales are the cheapest way to produce straw for fuel recovery because you can optimize the length of the bales so they fit the transportation equipment.In the Malmö area the average days of harvesting hay is 55. The effectively of transportation depends mostly of the speed, the distance and density of the bales. To increase the capacity of bale transportation larger loads and higher density of the bales is necessary.

Wooden joist slabs is a common type of floor in residential buildings. Higher demand and production of residential buildings increases the possibilities of profiting by optimizing the system of joists in a variety of areas. Spring and deflection is something most people can relate to since it?s not that uncommon to hear furniture rattle when you walk over a wooden floor. To remove the presence of those kinds of vibrations the system of joists have to be made stiffer than the standard joist construction that is used in today?s constructions.

This thesis is a discourse analysis analyzing public library librarians' talk on the subject of public library meeting places. Within the field of Library and Information Science the public libraries' functions as social meeting places have been scrutinized for more than a decade. Researchers in the Nordic countries in particular have looked at library users' use of the library space and have highlighted the sociologic dimensions of the public library and the meeting place functions. Few however have paid much attention to the library personnel's point of view. The discourse analysis perspective is about language use and how people construct the reality.

Abstract In order to work with historical sites, there must be an understanding of the complexity around the preservation of parks, gardens and landscapes and the approach to be used in the rebuilding and renewal. These issues are an important starting point of this essay. Historical environments give us as individuals an insight in who we are and from where we come, which is an important part of our need of identity as human beings. Without them, our roots in the past will be non-existent. The importance of this support base lies not only in the garden conservation, but also in the picture of developments, which we have through of as time mirrors of our living environment.
