This is a final year project considering constructional techniques for joining cavity walls. The project is related to an ongoing scientific programme about the restoration of The City wall of Visby located on Gotland. The programme was set by Riksantikvarieämbetet as a reaction to a collapse of the outer masonry wall shell which took place in February 2012.The City wall of Visby is a medieval fortification built out of limestone during the 13th century. The wall is constructed as a cavity wall with two separate masonry shells connected to each other through an intermediate core. During the 14th century the wall was heightened which lead to a higher stress, especially in the outer wall face.

The thesis that follows is performed in collaboration with Nitator in Oskarström.The factory in Oskarström focuses on laser cutting, robotic welding and surfacetreatment of steel for the automotive industry.The project aims to streamline the flow of materials in production by automatingthe movements of the forklifts, running to and from the interlayer, and betweenworkstations.The project started with a systematic literature search. The literature searchshowed the research position around the AGV-system. Also a review of studentliterature was made, so that a suitable method for practical implementation couldbe developed and applied. Selected method uses both quantitative and qualitativeapproaches, which is analyzed by using triangulation.The work has resulted in a modified layout of the current facility in Oskarströmthat can be used for the implementation of the AGV-system. It has also resulted inthe tender documents and profitability calculation from several of AGV-suppliers..

This report discusses the development of lessons based on laborations for middle and high school.The purpose of the project was to research the possibility to affect students' attitude towards physicsthrough well-planned stimulating lessons. The lessons were based on the Light and Lasers OutreachKit, a teaching package made by the organisation Laser Classroom, and have been adapted for physicsin middle and high school. The lessons were developed on a pedagogical and didactical ground andwere improved with surveys and peer and self assessment. The lessons were based on laser light and itsproperties. One lesson covered the topic of single-slit diffraction, while the other treated geometricaloptics.

The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the degree of influence of holes in the web of steel beams with long spanson weakening of their bearing capacity. Making holes in the web of the beam generally reduces the bearing capacity of the beam. However, it might be necessary seen from both an architectural perspective as well as from a building services perspective by creating an opportunity for building installations.The objective of this thesis is to examine how much an I-beam can be weakened without sacrificing safety and functionality. The investigation has been done by using Finite Element Method through commercial software.The regulation for structural design of building structures in Sweden used to be specified in the document known as BKR. But this was replaced by the European norm Eurocode back in May 2011.

Bakgrund: Sjukvården har en viktig roll i att främja fysisk aktivitet hos populationen. Fysisk inaktivitet är ett växande problem i världen och är en starkt bidragande orsak till många av de välfärdssjukdomar som allt fler människor drabbas av. Fysisk aktivitet på recept (FaR) växer allt mer fram som en behandlingsform många hoppas på ska kunna förbättra hälsan eller i bästa fall förebygga sjukdomar. Syfte: Syftet är att undersöka huruvida studier som gjorts kring FaR och andra varianter på fysisk aktivitet på recept kunnat påvisa någon ökad adherence hos patienter som mottagit ett skrivet recept på aktivitet i stället för standardiserad vård om fysisk aktivitet. Metod: 13 artiklar ingick i en litteraturöversikt.

Hos LuCoil Steel AB, dotterbolag till SSAB Tunnplåt AB, värmebehandlas bl.a. stål för att ge det speciella egenskaper som gynnar dess formbarhet vid efterföljande behandlingar. Denna värmebehandling av stålet som kallas för mjukglödgning eller sfäroidiseringsglödgning är en väldigt tidskrävande process, där strukturella förändringar i materialet sker och utvecklas med tiden. Syftet med detta arbete har varit att hitta optimala värmebehandlingscykler för fyra olika stålsorter där kraven på materialegenskaperna uppfylles och samtidigt undersöka hur utvecklingen av mikrostrukturen med tiden påverkar dess egenskaper. För att simulera den industriella glödgningsprocessen hos LuCoil utfördes försök i en laboratorieugn och vidare utfördes hårdhetsprov, dragprov och analyser av mikrostrukturen i svepelektronmikroskop för varje glödgat material.

Varje dag kommer det nya rön om hur våra levnadsvanor påverkar vår planet. I allt vi gör från bilkörning, konsumtionsvanor och inte minst i vårt boende. Som en reaktion på dagens "slit och släng"-samhälle har ekobyrörelsen växt fram ur 60- och 70-talens gröna våg. Att leva i harmoni med naturen i ett kollektiv, där samtliga av de boende i byn hjälper till med byns förvaltning. Tuggelite, Sveriges första ekoby, invigdes 1984 i Karlstad.

Norrborns Industri AB in Bollnäs manufactures truck trailers with the brand Parator. One of their trailers is Parator LX 10-20. The trailer is designed to transport hooklift containers with the option to tip loose goods such as gravel, asphalt and seed. The container is mounted on a frame which is placed on the chassis. To reduce weight a redesign of the trailer is needed.

This master thesis was conducted during the spring of 2014 at Atlas Copco Rock Drills AB in Örebro. The purpose of the thesis was to develop a simulation model of the rotation system for a hydraulic rock drill. In the future, the model will be used to investigate the phenomena called ?jerky rotation?. In order to validate the simulation model a test bench was designed and tests were made.
