The influence of tool geometry on damping during machining: A theoretical and fundamental study

The growing importance of achieving high productivity in the manufacturing industry leads to the necessity for applying high machining parameters and cutting speeds. However, the presence of self-excited vibrations of the tool shaft and workpiece under these conditions would result in undesirable surface roughness and surface integrity of the product. Thus, it is vital to study the damping mechani

Biståndshandläggares strategier för utredning- och bedömningsprocess med demenssjuka inom äldreomsorgen - En kvalitativ studie

Biståndshandläggare inom äldreomsorgen möter ibland äldre personer som lider av en demenssjukdom. Lagstiftningar och riktlinjer för hur arbetet med demenssjuka ska bedrivas är vaga och delvis motstridiga. Å ena sidan beskrivs vikten av självbestämmande i lagstiftningen och å andra sidan har biståndshandläggare ett ansvar att se till att ingen äldre kommer till skada eller självförsummar sig. Syfte

Corporate impunity and the ‘accountability gap’ in Sub-Saharan Africa: is the successful prosecution of corporate involvement in atrocity crimes within reach?

Although transnational corporations (hereinafter TNCs) often far outmatch States in terms of resources and influence over the direction of the world economy, they are generally unaccounted for when operating outside the territories in which they are incorporated (hereinafter ‘home States’). This thesis will look specifically at those TNCs that rely on natural resource extraction as their main sour

Polymer Surface Analysis with regards to various Machining Parameters

Polymers have existed in the manufacturing scenario for a long time now. However, the surprising part is that the data for metal cutting is still being incorporated for machining of polymers. Polymers are often machined using the tools on the data available for soft materials like aluminum. There is little research done in the domain of machinability of polymers to find out the best cutting combin

Gärningspersonen ur ett genusperspektiv - En kvalitativ dokumentanalys kring medias framställning av män och kvinnor

The aim of this study was to analyze how media presents individuals who commit crimes, where we analyzed if the presentation of the criminal differs, depending on the sex of the perpetrator.

What’s the buzz? Benefits and considerations for drone use in emergency and disaster response

The unique perspective offered by unoccupied aerial systems (UASs) has great potential for enhancing emergency and disaster response (EDR). Through a scoping exercise of research around the use of UASs for situational awareness and interviews with practitioners, this paper assesses the current benefits offered by UASs for situational awareness in EDR and identifies and discusses four areas of cons

Growth and Resilience Theory: A new way of conceptualising convergence dynamics.

Recent studies have highlighted how building resilience to ‘shrinking’ episodes, as opposed to increasing growth rates, appears to be the missing piece of the puzzle when it comes to between-country income convergence. All economies seem to be able to grow, but few countries have been able to drastically improve their shrinking patterns, which has underpinned the divergence often argued in literat

The ESG-Risk Relationship - A study of the relationship between ESG and firm-specific risk of publicly traded firms in Sweden

Non-financial metrics have come to play a larger role in financial markets as years pass, impacting decisions made by businesses, investors and policy makers alike. A significant non-financial metric captured by the term ESG or Environmental, Social and Governance. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate how ESG relates to risk at a firm-specific level. More specifically, we analyze this rela

Går det åt skogen? En kvalitativ studie om skogsägande, kalhyggen och Sveriges självbild som friluftsland

Den bild som målas upp av den svenska skogen är ljus. Skogsbruket sägs vara både hållbart och klimatsmart. Vid första anblick verkar bilden också stämma. Eller? Skogen är om omdebatterat territorium. Börjar man skrapa på ytan märker man att mycket av bilden lämnas utanför. Dagens skogsbruk är långt ifrån så ljus som skogsindustrin, och till viss del politiken, vill få det att verka. En allt mer esThe Swedish forestry sector has been dominated by clear-cutting methods for many decades and wood production has been of great importance for the economic development. Forests and its social values have also formed an important basis for the country’s identity with its recreation opportunities. Societal demands on forests are however many and increasing with an escalating climate crisis and the ne

Simultaneously, policy initiatives to encourage sustainable practices have not effectively corresp

Combining Continuous and Event-based Hydrological Modeling in Kävlinge River Basin with HEC-HMS

Prediction of flood and evaluation of the impact of climate change in a catchment needs to be correctly estimated, which can be accomplished by hydrological modelling in HEC-HMS. In this paper, the objectives were to gain an understanding of the rainfall-runoff process and estimate the flood frequency curve in the Kävlinge River Basin. However, due to the complexity of a catchment, models should b
