  2. 1. Computer use @ work : Psychosocial work environment and attitudes toward computers from a work content perspective

    Author : Birgitta Wanek; Institutionen för psykologi; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; work content; employees; work tasks; computer use; process operators; VDU use; computer-aided work; psychosocial work environment; computer attitudes; measurements; Occupational health; industrial medicine; Industrial psychology; Social psychology; Psychology; industripsykologi; Socialpsykologi; Psykologi; arbetsmiljömedicin; Yrkesmedicin; Arbetspsykologi;

    Abstract : This thesis aims at investigating computer use at work from a more holistic work content perspective by also studying non-computer work content, in contrast to the previous approach in occupational health research that focused almost solely on computer work content. It was argued here that non-computer work content has also become significant to the overall work situation for computer users. READ MORE

  4. 2. Perspectives on Manufacturing Development - Discontinuous Change and Continuous Improvement

    Author : Anders Berger; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; change theory; performance; Continuous Improvement; large-scale renewal; practice; balance; multifunctional work groups; discontinuous change; Sweden; manufacturing development;

    Abstract : The dissertation deals with the management of planned change and development efforts in manufacturing environments. Two models for improving and sustaining operational performance (technical, economic and social) are presented: the discontinuous change model and the continuous improvement model. READ MORE

  5. 3. Multifunctional Dendritic Scaffolds: Synthesis, Characterization and Potential applications

    Author : Yvonne Hed; Michael Malkoch; Mats Andersson; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Dendrimer; AB2C monomer; Click chemistry; CuAAC; thiol-ene coupling chemistry; TEC; linear dendritic hybrids; micelle; hydrogel; bone adhesive;

    Abstract : The development of materials for advanced applications requires innovative macromolecules with well-defined structures and the inherent ability to be tailored in a straightforward manner. Dendrimers, being a subgroup of the dendritic polymer family, possess properties which fulfill such demands. READ MORE

  6. 4. Synthesis and Properties of Branched Semi-Crystalline Thermoset Resins

    Author : Hans Claesson; KTH; []
    Keywords : star-branched; semi-crystalline; comb-branched; ring-opening polymerization; poly ƒÕ-caprolactone ; dendritic; thermoset; low temperature curing; powder coating; UV-curing; poly 5; 5-dimethyl-1; 3-dioxane-2-one ; size exclusion chromatography; rheology;

    Abstract : This thesis describes the synthesis and characterization ofbranched semi-crystalline polymers. Included in this work isthe SEC characterization of a series of dendrimers. Thebranched semi-crystalline polymers were synthesized in order toinvestigate the concept of their use as powder coatings resins. READ MORE

  7. 5. Exploring fatty acid derivatives from renewable resources as raw materials for coating applications
