  2. 1. Empty Labor : Subjectivity and Idleness at Work

    Author : Roland Paulsen; Patrik Aspers; Mats Alvesson; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; organizational misbehavior; workplace resistance; slacking; simulation; cyberloafing; critical theory; sabotage; time waste; instrumental reason; Sociologi; Sociology;

    Abstract : This thesis is about how and why employees spend large proportions of their working hours on empty labor, i.e. private activities on the job. It is written against the backdrop of a highly debated subject within critical theory, namely the possibility of individuals resisting taken-for-granted power asymmetries. READ MORE

  4. 2. Vibration Frequencies as Status Indicators for Tensegrity Structures

    Author : Nasseradeen Ashwear; Anders Eriksson; Karl-Gunnar Olsson; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Tensegrity; Pre-stress; Vibration; Health monitoring; Buckling; Temperature effect; Vibration health monitoring VHM; Tensegritet; Förspänning; Vibration; Hälsokontroll; Knäckning; Temperatureffekt; Vibrationsbaserad hälsokontroll; Engineering Mechanics; Teknisk mekanik;

    Abstract :  Applications of vibration structural health monitoring (VHM) techniques are increasing rapidly. This is because of the advances in sensors and instrumentation during the last decades. VHM uses the vibration properties to evaluate many civil structures during the design steps, building steps and service life. READ MORE

  5. 3. Developing Computational Methods for Moored Floating Wave Energy Devices

    Author : Johannes Palm; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Wave Power; RANS simulations; Discontinuous Galerkin; Mooring Dynamics;

    Abstract : Floating point absorbers are a common class of wave-power devices typically designed to move with large amplitude in energetic waves. This stands in sharp contrast to traditional marine design, where the wave-excited motions of the structure are preferably kept to a minimum. READ MORE
