Övervakningssystem av Grisstall med detektion av blod

Karlsson, Niclas January 2015 (has links)
Arbetet i detta projekt görs tillsammans med MPQ Consulting AB, Raskov Utveckling AB ochBoarps gård AB och påvisar hur ett system för övervakning av grisar kan hanteras och testar enkamera för uppsikt. Hantering av flera kameramoduler sker automatiskt via ett serverprogramsom skapas beroende på hur många kameramoduler som finns i systemet.Visning av varje box sker via en webbaserad applikation vilket medför miljömässig och ekonomiskhållbarhet då djurskötaren kan hantera den dagliga övervakningen från hemmet iställetför på bondgårdarna. Genom detektion av blod underlättas även djurskötarens arbetsuppgifterdå denne ser från ett annat perspektiv än kameran. Uppsikt under natten blir även möjligtdå mörkerseende finns tillgängligt och retroaktiv uppsikt då bilder sparas i tjugofyra timmar.Då det finns nyinsatta grisar kan de behöva mer foder än normalt vilket medför ökad fodertillförsel.Genom övervakning via en webbaserad applikation kan tillförseln av foder ökas ochsänkas vid behov av djurskötaren.Genom fortsatt arbete kan implementation av fler funktioner och mer användarvänliga detaljerinkluderas. Detektion av blod kan även utökas till uppskattning av foder i foderrännanoch hantera fodertillförseln via webbapplikationen. Fler kameramoduler kan inkluderas enkeltgenom modifikation i serverprogrammet. / The work in this project demonstrates how a system for monitoring pigs could be handled andtests a camera for this kind of system. Automatic detection of blood will help in a keeper’s dutiesand give him or her a different view of the box. Management of multiple camera modulesis done automatically via a server application that can manage a different number of cameramodules in the system. More camera modules can be included simply by modifying the serverprogram.Display of each box is made web based causing environmental and economic sustainabilitywhen the keeper can handle the daily monitoring by the home instead of on the farms especiallyon weekends. It is also possible to keep check during the night when the night visionapplication on the camera is available and retroactive supervision since the images are savedfor twenty four hours.When young pigs are introduced into the living area they need more food than normally resultingin increased feed supply. By monitoring via a web based application the keeper cansupply an increase or decrease of food if necessary. By continuing to work on this project implementationof more features and more user-friendly details can be included. Detection ofblood can also be extended to the estimate of food levels and manage food delivery via the web application.

Underlätta bearbetning av hästskor

Rosendahl, Magdalena January 2013 (has links)
3 In the last couple of decades there has not happened much in the “farriery”- department. The work procedure, methods and farrier´s tools have stayed the same over time, which have led to a huge workload that is wearing the active participants out. So think if you were able to ease the working process of horseshoeing for a farrier. The farriery is still first and foremost a profession based on handicraft that has to relay on the farrier´s good memory, sight and sense. The workplaces for a farrier is most of the time at the hiring horse owner`s stables, which makes it harder for the farrier´s to have influence over their working situation. In Sweden shoes horses by both educated and uneducated people, but there is hopes to legalise the profession title by year 2030. One of the greatest advantages through this project, has been to observe and the participant in a farrier´s everyday work. Experimentally mockups and visually shown images have been used as the basis for the discussions with people within the horse industry. The farrier`s work a ethics and work environment are very unexplored subjects in modern time, which influenced the work material in the project´s needs and analysis. The inspiration for the project’s end-result is, among other things, based on horsey´s and the farrier´s ancient origin. As well as the requisites of technology in the work. The end-result is based to decrease the unnecessary repeating work that happens everytime a shoeing emerges. With the help of the Hoof scanner, can the farrier´s have a profile for every single horse i.e. visually images of the hoof, choice of shoes, need of elaboration work, necessary balance adjustments, history and clarified pictures. The functions are able to adjust to every farrier´s need of scene. Documented and visual information can be transcribed (pay it forward) between farrier, veterinary and horse owner.

The Impact of Implementing Building Information Modeling (BIM) on Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) During Construction / Påverkan av BIM på arbetsmiljö och säkerhet i byggproduktionen

Matthei, Jonathan January 2021 (has links)
Health and safety during construction remains a worldwide challenge that the construction industry is facing. The German construction industry recorded an average of 110,000 accidents per year in the period of 2010 to 2019. A discernible trend toward a decrease in occupational accidents is not visible. In this context, traditional safety planning does not seem to be able to guarantee sufficient health and safety during construction. In line with the BIM Roadmap published by the German Ministry of Transport in 2015, it can be recognized that Building Information Modeling (BIM) is supposed to be increasingly used in upcoming years. This paper aims to identify how BIM could positively impact Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) during construction. Therefore, a thesis procedure, combining quantitative and qualitative research with an in depth literature review is introduced. This study reveals a high added value of using BIM for (1) safety rule checking and design validation and (2) safety education, training and communication. BIM as a decision supporting tool has the potential to reduce the underestimation of safety hazards and improve safety reporting, which have been identified as current vulnerabilities in the construction industry. Furthermore, an added benefit to sustainability following the concept of Construction Hazard Prevention through Design (CHPtD) is illustrated. In practice, however, BIM for OSH remains unused, while those working with BIM are not familiar with safety planning. This study indicates that in order to fully utilize the potential of BIM, intuitiveness and standardization is required, while those implementing BIM and those using BIM need to be aware of and willing to exploit the potential of new technologies. The challenge now is to recognize the potential of BIM in relation to OHS and to actively use BIM for health and safety purposes. / Att skapa en säker arbetsmiljö på byggarbetsplatsen är fortfarande en global utmaning för byggbranschen. I den tyska byggbranschen inträffade till exempel i genomsnitt 110 000 olyckor per år under perioden 2010-2019 och det syns ingen märkbar minskning. I detta sammanhang verkar traditionell säkerhetsplanering inte kunna garantera tillräcklig hälsa och säkerhet under byggandet. I samband med den strategiska BIM-implementeringsplanen som publicerades av det tyska transportministeriet 2015 ska Building Information Modeling (BIM) användas i allt större utsträckning under de kommande åren. Syftet med den här artikeln är att identifiera hur BIM skulle kunna ha en positiv inverkan på arbetsmiljö och säkerhet (OHS) på byggarbetsplatsen. Studien kombinerar kvantitativ och kvalitativ forskning med en djupgående litteraturgenomgång. Resultatet visar att det finns ett stort mervärde i att använda BIM för (1) kontroll av säkerhetsregler och validering av konstruktionen och (2) utbildning, träning och kommunikation om säkerhet. BIM som beslutsstöd kan möjliggöra en mer realistisk bedömning av säkerhetsrisker och förbättra säkerhetsrapporteringen, vilket har identifierats som aktuella sårbarheter i byggbranschen. Det finns också fördelar med att implementera konceptet Construction Hazard Prevention through Design (CHPtD). I praktiken är dock BIM för arbetsmiljöfrågor fortfarande oanvänd, samtidigt som de som arbetar med BIM inte är tillräckligt bekanta med säkerhetsaspekter. För att BIM:s potential ska kunna utnyttjas fullt ut krävs en ökad användarvänlighet och standardisering av verktygen. Samtidigt måste de som implementerar och använder BIM vara medvetna om och villiga att utnyttja den nya teknikens potential. Utmaningen är nu att förstå potentialen av BIM för arbetsmiljöaspekter och att proaktivt använda BIM för att öka säkerheten på byggarbetsplatser.

Environmental/ecological, economic, and social factors inhumanitarian response : A qualitative case study reviewing the humanitarian response delivered by USAID in Haiti with the sustainable dimensions in focus

Madsen, Ane Kok January 2022 (has links)
In the past decades, there has been an alarming increase in the amount of toxicity on earthdue to pollution and consumerism and the natural environment is faster than everdisappearing due to the extensive activity of humans on planet earth (Nations United,2020; United Nations, 2020). The increased amount of rubbish and non-natural waste hasbeen identified as a major issue in the supply chain and waste management inhumanitarian organizations across the board. This thesis has reviewed existing academic research and identified the five commonthemes: Management – training and standardization – stakeholders and donors -transparency - climate change and development, in which the ability to become moresustainable is present. United States Agency for International Development (USAID) hasbeen showing environmental accountability and for that reason, its environmental policyand supply chain have been addressed to understand its waste management and if it issupporting the three sustainable dimensions. Plastic pollution is addressed as a humanitarian crisis and arguing that the devastatingeffects that microplastics are having on our ecosystem and it is clearly showing that it iscausing harm to the environment, the economy, and the social effect. Haiti has since theearthquake in 2010 received a variety of aid, majority from USAID but the sustainableaccountability in their action have been hard to identify. Reviewing the work of USAID and their collaboration with environmental protectioncompanies makes you likely to say that they are supporting the three sustainabledimensions but with further assessment, it is obvious, that humanitarian waste is doingharm and there must be improvements within the organization’s perspective onwaste/plastic while attending a crisis.
