This examination work is the final work in our education to become a Bachelor of Science inMechanical Engineering by the University of Lund.The main purpose with this work has been to develop a new effective material handling system for TPPM AB in Lund since the existing system starts to become out of date. The future system that is going to be installed shall have the capacity to support all machines with unit-, semi- and finished goods during full production. The work has also included studying the possibilities to change the material flow in a positive way between the storage and the production when one is using existing buildings.During our work we have been used a simulation program called AutoMod, performing company visits, interviews and reviewed internal and external information to create a picture of what the best conclusion can be. During the work we have contacted five suppliers to receive system solutions and quotatioris. The suppliers, which have been contacted, are Swisslog, Moving, Rocia, Christensen & Hansen and ABB.

The goal of this thesis is to analyse whether the method ?Observiaire? is of any use for traffic analysis. The method consists of analysing film material, preferably before and after changes are made to an area, by answering a survey for the users that are observed within the population. The method also opens up for deeper qualitative analyses which are rooted in the quantitative data collected from the survey-study. In this study we analyse the method by applying it to the case study of the changes made at Götgatan in Stockholm, where a green wave was implemented and the bicycle road widened.

Syftet med studien var att undersöka idrottsutövares musikanvändande. Studien genomfördes i form av en enkätundersökning med kvalitativa och kvantitativa frågor där 252 idrottsutövare som utövar individuell idrott som till exempel friidrott och orientering deltog. Enkäten berörde frågor om idrottsutövarnas musikanvändande i vardagliga och idrottsliga situationer, känsloupplevelser i samband med musiklyssnande samt motiv till musikanvändning i idrottsutövandet. Resultatet visade att deltagarna medvetet använder musik för att påverka olika känslotillstånd i sitt idrottsutövande. Främst använder deltagarna musik i sin tävlingsförberedelse.

The purpose of this thesis is to through the analysis of interviews with finance professionals in listed companies answer the question on what lies behind capital structure decisions, and to see how well the prevailing theories fit the answers. This article is an explorative and descriptive hypothesis creating study. We have used a qualitative method to analyse practice through theory. We have conducted telephone interviews with CFO:s and financial executives in Swedish listed companies on how they reason when they make capital structure decisions. We have then thoroughly reviewed the theory and empirical tests of the theories.

Phosphorus is essential to all plants and is taken up from the soil as the ion H2PO4 - (and to some extent HPO42-). Plant availability depends on, among other factors, the soil pH. In order to provide for plant available phosphorus, it is applied as mineral fertilizers and farmyard manure. However, that causes phosphorus leaching from arable land to surrounding surface waters and lakes and contributes to the eutrofication. There are three types of soils in Sweden that are at higher risk of contributing to phosphorus leakage.

Diabetes typ 1 är en sjukdom som oftast drabbar barn i tonåren, men kan även drabba yngre. Den upptar mycket tid på grund av blodglukoskontrollerna för att undvika komplikationer. Balanserad kost, samt daglig motion är en del av behandlingen. Barnen kan ta ansvar över egenvården, men behöver stöd från föräldrarna. För att hantera sjukdomen krävs planering och för alla inblandade blir livet förändrat.

Sammanfattning Det talas just nu mycket om utomhuspedagogik. Med utomhuspedagogik menas då att undervisningen flyttas ut ur klassrummet, för att lära i, och av, omgivningen. Men är utomhuspedagogiken ett viktigt pedagogiskt verktyg i årskurs 3-5 eller är det bara utelek? För att ta reda på det har jag genomfört en enkätundersökning bland lärare som arbetar i årskurs 3-5 över stora delar av Sverige. Av 105 utskickade enkäter har 40 stycken besvarats.

One of today problem at IVT industries would be assembly of insulation on water cisterns. The element of assembly insulation on the cistern gets too elevated; hence one has to climb onto the stand the cistern is assembly on. This will increase the risk of work related injuries when there is a risk of falling down. It?s also rather strenuous on shoulders due to work with your arms high above your head.

Volvo Human Monitoring (VHM) is an ongoing project at Volvo Cars where they measure, amongst other parameters, inhalation and exhalation through a device called Respiratory Inductance Plethysmograph (RIP), on drivers. RIP measures changes in the cross-sectional area of the chest and abdomen. When the driver is in motion, such as when she is turning the vehicle, the cross-sectional area changes and noise in the RIP signal may arise.The noise results in a large number of manual adjustments in the analysis of the RIP signal, which is very time consuming and the validity of the device for measuring inhalation and exhalation is questioned.The purpose of this study was to improve the efficiency of the analysis of the RIP signal. The goal was to create a new data processing tool in Matlab that automatically detects inhalation and exhalation from a RIP signal with higher validity compared to the previous data processing tool.In this study, nine tests were performed on drivers while they were driving in different scenarios such as highway, country road and in city traffic. Inhalation and exhalation was measured using a RIP, a pneumotachograph with a tightly sealed facemask and a thermocouple placed between the nose and mouth, which was used as reference to the RIP.The result of this study was a data processing tool that automatically detects inhalation and exhalation with higher validity compared to the previous data processing tool.

Inom bilbranchen är produktkonfguratorer, där användaren själv kan sättasamman din bil utifrån möjliga val, en tjänst som återkommer hos de festabiltillverkare. Många av konfguratorerna bygger idag på en teknik och ettföde som innebär begränsningar i fexibilitet och användbarhet. En ny teknisklösning håller på att arbetas fram och innebär möjligheten att vidare förbättrabåde användbarhet och föde, vilket föranlett detta arbete. Genom att attundersöka användbarheten med hänsyn till användarens mål och den totalaupplevelsen kunde således en rad möjliga förbättringsområden identiferas.Dessa ledde sedan till ett antal förslag på alternativa lösningar som hade föravsikt att skapa ett bättre föde och därmed en bättre användarupplevelse. Dealternativa lösningarna ledde sedan till en prototyp som kunde testas för attundersöka hur de bidragit till ett bättre föde.

För insamling av data har intervju och fokusgruppssamtal använts.

This thesis is done in cooperation with SWECO Energuide in Växjö. They have been assigned by SKB in Oskarshamn to renew their electrical power supply and the ancillary processing systems in their Central provisional storage of spent nuclear fuel, CLAB. Today in the CLAB facility, the spent fuel is cooled down with water pumps, driven by asynchronous induction motors, where the water is regulated by mechanical valves to the desired flow. After the upgrade, the engines will be powered by AC drives that can control the pumps by changing the rotational speed and thus change the water's cooling effect on the nuclear fuel. In this study, I investigated the interference AC drives causes the feeding network and how to go about averting them.

Background: When someone suffers a spinal cord injury, the nerve impulses between the brain, the muscles and the skin are intercepted, thereby resulting in motion and sensory loss.  During the recovery process, healthcare professionals play a vital role in ensuring that the patients have a positive experience of care, recovery and rehabilitation.Aim: The aim of this study is to determine how patients at a rehabilitation clinic in Sweden experienced the following: The patient?s experience of how well they were received by staff, the staff?s ability to explain and inform the patient of important details concerning their care and the staff?s ability to involve the patients in their own care.Method: A qualitative interview approach was used when undertaking this study. Six patients at the rehabilitation clinic were interviewed, and the interviews were later analyzed using qualitative content analysis.Result: The collected material was divided into ten categories that were sorted into three subheadings: reception of staff, information and involvement. Reception of staff, with categories: helpfulness, commitment, consideration, professionalism and reception. Information, with categories: if the patients felt well-informed.

In a sustainable society the use of renewable energy and recycling of materials is of high importance. Wastewater treatment plants use large amounts of energy in the processing of wastewater.
