Syftet med detta examensarbete var att utifrån forskning på området göra en kunskapsöversikt gällande kvinnor med funktionsnedsättning och riskfaktorer för att utsättas för övergrepp. Våra teman var funktionsnedsättning, övergrepp och riskfaktorer. Vi har tolkat resultaten med hjälp av rutinaktivitetsteori. Vi har utifrån forskningen identifierat olika faktorer som kan vara förknippade med ökad risk för att utsättas för övergrepp. Att vara kvinna, beroende av andra och isolering är exempel på riskfaktorer.

Today small metal parts are mass-produced as for example rollers in cylinder bearings. At high velocity cutting the metal is cut with a great force in a scissor-like device. Both precision and repeatability is important to be able to guarantee good quality, but from an economical point of view it is also important to keep a great manufacturing capacity. The part of the process that is most time consuming is when the metal bar, that is about to be cut, is fed to the right position. Therefore it is interesting to examine if the time used for positioning can be reduced.
