Envirotainer builds containers that are specialized in transporting of temperature sensitive products these containers are customized for airplanes. The containers are then leased to other companies, most often to pharmaceutical companies. Envirotainer are based in Lagga, Knivsta. It is also here where the production of the containers is held. The container RAP T2 was designed in the early 80ies. The RAP T2 contains a fleet of about 1220 containers spread all over the world. This container model needs an update in order to optimize its performance. One of the improvements is achieved by optimizing the UA-value that is too high. A lower UA-value gives the performance of the container more endurance and more stability. Initial testing that was made in the beginning of the project showed that the floor in the container was the biggest stand alone module benefiter of the high UA-value. With that knowledge it was decided that my work should be about the possibility to improve the construction with a new insulation material that would optimize the UA-value. The work started off with an investigation of insulation materials. The most interesting insulation materials were weighted against each other. The result showed that Divinycell was the best insulation material for the design. Then different concepts were made, concept A were the whole floor was redesigned and concept B were an extra insulation module was designed to fit the existing floor. The concepts were weighted against each other in order to choose the final concept. Concept A was the best alternative and was chosen. The concept was then designed in PTC Creo. A prototype was built for UA-value testing. The prototype was then tested and measured against the original container in order to see how much the UA-value was lowered with the new design. And the result of the test showed an improvement of almost 37 %. The UA-value went from 25,40 W/K with the original container design to 16,05 W/K with the prototype design. This shows that an update of the floor design is in order to make the container performance better and more stabile.

The aim of the study is to investigate song lyrics within rap and pop music from a cultural and a gender perspective, focusing on the depiction of women. The investigation focuses on the nouns the songwriter use to refer to the concept of woman. Twenty songs from each genre are conveyed in this study. The results show that rap lyrics contain multiple nouns referring to the concept of woman that depict women in a negative way. Pop lyrics do not contain these words and thus have a more positive way of depicting women. Nouns that occur in both genres tend to be of positive value whereas nouns that are only represented in the rap genre tend to be of negative value, something that indicates these nouns to be bearers of cultural values. It is easier to distinguish hip-hop culture, of which rap is a part, due to the fact that it consists of distinctive language that is highly connected to that particular genre. Pop music however, is very broad and also more difficult to distinguish as a unique culture compared to hip-hop. The language used in pop lyrics is rather commonplace and does not stand out in the crowd as the language in rap lyrics does.
