1. 16. Advances In Heavy Vehicle Dynamics with Focus on Engine Mounts and Individual Front Suspension

   Författare :Hoda Yarmohamadi; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; vibration isolation; semi-active damper; handling; heavy vehicle; individual front suspension; nonlinear dynamic stiffness and damping; kinematics; adaptronic mounting system; engine mount; comfort;

   Sammanfattning : The main objective of the research presented in this thesis is to enhance driver comfort and handling of a heavy truck that in turn leads to better vehicle safety and stability. The focus has been put on studying two suspension systems of the truck, engine and front axle suspensions, due to their significant impact on the dynamic performance of the vehicle. LÄS MER

3. 17. Framing Audit Failure : Four studies on audit quality discomforts

   Författare :Thomas Carrington; Bino Catasús; Keith Robson; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; auditing; audit failure; framing; disciplinary cases; comfort; discomforts; actor-network theory; audit quality; voice; Business studies; Företagsekonomi; Business Administration; företagsekonomi;

   Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis is to analyze the practice of auditing in terms of how relevant actors frame audit failure. This aim is explored in four different articles. The first article examines and develops the idea of auditing as a comfort-producing activity. LÄS MER

4. 18. Influence of thermal mass on the heating and cooling demands of a building unit

   Författare :Fredrik Ståhl; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; thermal mass; environmental impact; thermal comfort; heat storage; life cycle; building energy use; earth tube heat exchanger; comfort interval; heavy or light buildings; building structure;

   Sammanfattning : The purpose of this work is to find to what extent the thermal properties of the building materials, the allowed indoor temperature swing, determined by the comfort interval, and, to some extent, the ventilation strategy can affect the heating and cooling demand of a building. It is well known that a thermally heavy building, that is a building with a high heat capacity, often demands less energy for heating and cooling and have a more stabile indoor temperature due to heat storage in the building structure.

5. 19. Tactile touch in intensive care : Nurses' preparation, patients' experiences and the effect on stress parameters

   Författare :Maria Henricson; Bengt Fridlund; Kerstin Segesten; Anna-Lena Berglund; Sylvia Määttä; Karlstads universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Tactile touch; intensive care; stress; oxytocin; complementary method; nursing; preparation; randomised controlled trial; comfort; lifeworld research; narratives; Nursing; Omvårdnad; Nursing Science; Omvårdnad;

   Sammanfattning : Aim: The overall aim of this thesis was to acquire knowledge about whether tactile touch as a complementary method can (i) promote comfort and (ii) reduce stress reactions during care in an intensive care unit (ICU) Method: In Paper I, five nurses with a touch therapist training were interviewed about their experiences of preparation before giving tactile touch in an ICU. To analyse the meaning of preparation as a phenomenon, Giorgi’s descriptive phenomenological approach was used. LÄS MER

7. 20. Direct Ground Cooling Systems for Office Buildings
