  1. 1. Improving Objectivity and Reliability of Observational Risk Assessment Tools by using Technical Instruments

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

    Author : Cephas Charsmar-Etor; [2023]
    Keywords : Direct measurement instruments; Observational instruments; Body segments and postures; Inertial measurement unit; Wearable sensors;

    Abstract : Ergonomic assessments to determine risks of work-related musculoskeletal disorders as well as to compare designs of work-tasks and workstations, are imperative for high sustainability and productivity in any given industry. Hence, assessment tools that can objectively and reliably capture postures, joint angles and muscle activities play very important role in properly determining risks relating to work and various tasks.

  3. 2. Estimating stellar limb darkening using exoplanet transits

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Astrofysik; Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen

    Author : Sora Ishida; [2023]
    Keywords : Limb-darkening; CHEOPS; Transit; Exoplanet; PYCHEOPS; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : The brightness of the stars is not uniform over the surface as it varies depending on the wavelength and the atmosphere that the light propagates. Limb darkening is an optical effect caused by a decrease in brightness of the star towards the edge. READ MORE

  4. 3. Evaluation of bank erosion and stability analysis along Rönne å at Ängelholm, Sweden

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Arnold Mate Kalimukwa; Abuzack Juma Mohamed; [2021]
    Keywords : HEC-RAS; BSTEM; cross section; erosion; sediment transport; deposition; bank stability; safety factor; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : This master thesis report presents the results of evaluation of bank erosion and stability analysis along Rönne å (river) at Ängelholm, located in south-west of Sweden within Scania. The main objectives cover building a hydrodynamic model, studying parameters that define sediment transport, modelling sediment transport within the river, mapping out erosive stretches and comparing to earlier observational study conducted by Norconsult in 2013, and finally conducting analysis of bank stability in most erosive stretches.

  5. 4. Stars Eating Planets

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : John Wimarsson; [2020]
    Keywords : Earth and planetary astrophysics; planetary dynamics; planet-planet scattering; planet consumption; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : In a phase of instability during the dynamical evolution of some multiple exoplanetary systems, exchange of angular momentum and/or energy through gravitational interactions between planets will lead to alterations of their orbital properties. In some cases, planetary orbits end up crossing, which leads to close encounters between two planets. READ MORE

  6. 5. What factors can be identified as the cause of disempowerment and empowerment in Palestine? : A descriptive analysis using Friedmann’s (dis)empowerment model.

    University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för statsvetenskap (ST)

    Author : Lars Nilsson; [2015]
    Keywords : Israel; Palestine; Gaza; West Bank; Peace; Occupation; Alternative development; Disempowerment; Empowerment; Livelihood; Settlements; Friedmann’s dis empowerment model;

    Abstract : The purpose of this study was to identify and analyze cause of disempowerment for the population of Palestine. The design of the research took the shape of a descriptive case study and the method used to fulfill the purpose was a qualitative text analysis. READ MORE
