This master's thesis deals with the crab of a traveller crane of 50,000 kg load capacity. The aim of the thesis is a functional calculation of travelling and lifting crab mechanisms and strength frame calculation in compliance with applicable ČSN standards and respective literature concerned with the calculations of cranes and their parts. The attached drawings show the crab, lifting and travelling mechanisms.

The diploma work deals with design of lifting mechanism of overhead crane trolley with a load capacity 200 t. The main objective is design and analysis of selected components of lifting mechanism and components which are directly associated with lifting mechanism. Work includes design elements of a rope system, such as rope, rope drum, sheaves, sheave block, elements of the proposals of propulsion, such as engine, transmission, brake, coupling. The work contains also strength calculations of some components and drawing documentation.

The main objective of the thesis is to design and construct a taxiway and a lifting device for moving a BELL helicopter with slides. Handling equipment is used for transporting helicopters between the airfield and hangars. The thesis is divided into several parts. The first part includes the design of taxiway and lifting equipment. Other parts contain strength calculation of selected parts and design documentation, which includes assembly drawings and important groups drawings.

This master thesis shows, how can be the modified lifting line theory used for preliminary glider design an for wing loads determination. It is shown, that relatively accurate results can be obtained at less computational cost in comparison with CFD methods

This master´s thesis deals with a proposed design of the derrick of the filling car of a coke-oven battery, which is used for working with unit loads, repairing and maintenance of the filling car and cleaning of the battery risers. In the first part a solution concept was chosen. For this concept a main steel structure was designed, which was controlled in stress analysis by the FEM program I-DEAS NX 11. Further, the main parts of the lifting and travelling mechanism were calculated using specified parameters. In the conclusion of this thesis the results summary of specified targets is stated. Assembly drawing is in the annex of this thesis.

Master thesis describes the design of travelling and lifting mechanism for the Bell helicopter with a minimum weight of 2,000 kg and travel of 80mm. In some parts of this work will find an overview of the manufactured equipment, analysis of possible mechanisms, the concept with strength calculations with FEM supported calculations of each frame.

The main goal this thesis is presenting solution for manipulation with chopper BELL between of hangar and landing zone. The main task is design useful construction solution by required task, also perform a strenght calculations each part of mechanism and drawing documentation. Also included is a 3D visualization of the entire mechanism.

LLM / Department of Mercantile Law / Once a company is incorporated it becomes a juristic entity, distinct and separate from its incorporators. Thus, the company bears its own liabilities. However, section 20(9) of the Companies Act 71 of 2008 grants the courts the discretion to disregard the separate legal personality of a company where there is unconscionable abuse of the juristic personality of the company. However, the challenge is that the section fails to define what constitutes ‘‘unconscionable abuse’’. This research thus investigated what constitutes unconscionable abuse of the juristic personality of the company as the ground for piercing the corporate veil. Simply put, this research identified the circumstances under which the corporate veil may be pierced, given the confounding provisions of section 20(9). In unravelling the problems posed by the said section, the researcher employed a combination of doctrinal legal research methodology and comparative research methodology which involve the scrutiny of ‘black letter of the law’ and the laws of other jurisdictions. The result from this extensive inquiry is that the term ‘unconscionable abuse’ is a legislative derivate from the various terms used by the courts at common law to justify the disregarding of the separate legal personality of the corporate entity. Therefore, the inescapable conclusion reached is that just as those terms used at common law are confounding, so shall this legislative innovation. Therefore, in order to resolve this problem each matter should be dealt with based on its peculiar facts.

Nursing staff members (registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and nursing aides) have one of the highest incidence rates of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) of all occupations. Ergonomic research has identified patient handling and movement tasks that put the caregiver at high risk for a WMSD each time they are performed. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the frequency of performing the highest risk tasks, as well as certain other risk factors affecting physical workload, were related to the frequency of musculoskeletal discomfort. Also investigated was whether the manual handling workload varied by job category. The cross-sectional study was conducted at a Veterans' Administration hospital in Tampa, Florida in August 2001 on 11 in-patient units with 113 participants, who completed musculoskeletal discomfort and demographic surveys at the end of a week of observation of their workloads. Multiple regression analysis indicated that the number of high risk patient handling and movement tasks performed per hour, the number of patients cared for who weighed 212 pounds or more, and the interaction of the two were associated with the frequency of knee and wrist pain, but not with low back pain. The following variables were not associated with the frequency of musculoskeletal discomfort in any body part: patient census/able bodied staff ratio, patient classification rating, or number or use of patient handling and movement equipment. Manual handling workload did differ significantly among job categories, with registered nurses performing the fewest at- risk patient handling tasks and nursing aides the most. The seven-day prevalence rate of at least moderate discomfort in at least one body part was 62%. Recommendations include instituting recorded patient assessments to standardize the type of equipment and the number of staff members needed for specific handling and movement activities, as well as improved staff training. Further research is needed on the following: biomechanical forces on the wrist and knee during patient handling and movement tasks; the effect of patient weight on the risk of patient handling and movement tasks; and psychosocial stressors in addition to the physical workload of nursing staff.
