We begin the dissertation with a chapter dedicated to theoretical foundation, which is based on Marxism and its critical and totalizing perspective, going against the post-structuralist hegemony with its micro vision of the social. Still in this tuning fork we work with the concept of a regime of accumulation within a theory about the mode of production of capitalist production, in order to understand the historical context of the last decades of the twentieth century. In the warp of the first chapter we also devoted some lines to explaining the sociological theory of cinema used in research, here materialized in the form of a dissertation; including what we consider to be fundamental in a film, which is the film message, where the feelings, interests, political positions, etc., of the team that produces the cinematographic work are expressed. The second chapter is a panoramic flight on the history of the regime of integral accumulation, we start from the concept and then we make a historical-sociological study on the world-wide and American reality of the sixties, seventy and eighty of the twentieth century. In the third chapter we have the analysis of the movie Blade Runner. We start from its realization, from production, and then analyze its social critique of capitalism, in view of a totalizing look at social relations that are in concrete reality and expressed in the film as consumerism, exploitation of labor, individualism, destruction the environment and neoliberalism. All encompassed by a dystopian and pessimistic perspective on capitalism in the age of integral accumulation. / Nesta pesquisa analisamos o filme Blade Runner e sua crítica social relacionada ao capitalismo; o problema levantado aqui é responder a indagação: há um posicionamento do filme em relação ao capitalismo, mas que tipo de posicionamento é esse: crítico, conservador, revolucionário? Começamos a dissertação com um capítulo dedicado a fundamentação teórica, que tem como base o marxismo e sua perspectiva crítica e totalizante, indo na contramão da hegemonia pós-estruturalista, com sua visão micro do social. Ainda nesse diapasão trabalhamos com o conceito de regime de acumulação dentro de uma teoria sobre o modo de produção de produção capitalista, para entendermos o contexto histórico das últimas décadas do século XX. Na urdidura do primeiro capítulo também dedicamos algumas linhas para explanar sobre teoria sociológica do cinema utilizada na pesquisa, aqui materializada em forma de dissertação; mostrando inclusive, o que consideramos fundamental num filme, que é a mensagem fílmica, onde estão expressos os sentimentos, interesses, posicionamentos políticos etc., da equipe produtora da obra cinematográfica. O segundo capítulo é um voo panorâmico sobre a história do regime de acumulação integral, partimos do conceito e depois fazemos um estudo histórico-sociológico sobre a realidade mundial e estadunidense das décadas de sessenta, setenta e oitenta do século XX. Já no terceiro capítulo temos a análise do filme Blade Runner. Partimos da sua realização, da produção, e depois analisamos sua crítica social ao capitalismo, tendo em vista, um olhar totalizante das relações sociais que estão na realidade concreta e expressas no filme como o consumismo, a exploração do trabalho, o individualismo, a destruição do meio ambiente e o neoliberalismo. Tudo englobado por uma perspectiva distópica e pessimista em relação ao capitalismo na era de acumulação integral.

An experimental investigation of a vibrating Kaplan turbine runner was performed in order to understand the hydrodynamic effects and to obtain or confirm the mass and damping coefficients used for dimensioning at the design stage. Improved design can lead to increased efficiency and lifetime of hydropower stations. The method was based on the 90◦ phase shift between acceleration and velocity and their relationship with mass and damping respectively. The experiment examined frequencies between 1–9 Hz at displacements between 0.25–2.00 mm. Results showed a frequency dependent added mass which varied between 1.2 and 1.5 (neglecting the highest and lowest frequencies) and an added damping between 0.8 and 1.2 which became of importance at low frequencies. A mathematical interpretation of the fluid solid interactions (based on the constitutive equation for stresses in a Newtonian fluid) has been derived and connected to the obtained experimental data.

The project elaborated design of injection mould with a cold runner system for a creation of component type Pall ring made of polypropylene. Pursuant to of the literary pursuit a problem, the injection technology has been selected as the most suitable method of manufacturing. The proportions of the component along with the placement of the parting line determined the creation process of shaped cavity. The quantity of a manufacturing batch specified two-cavity as the most advantageous variant. The calculation of vent channel’s measurements, the choice of befitting injection machine and a basic simulations had been conducted. The economic part of the thesis has confirmed the suitability of usage cold runner system instead of hot runner system.

The purpose of this essay is to describe and examine the different versions of the 1982 movie Blade Runner. How these versions vary in question of narrative, theme, tone and message is a focal point of this essay. Of special interest is how these relate to our reality regarding political or philosphical views. The conclusion of this study is that the same core ideas and messages remain throughout the different versions of Blade Runner. However, the ways in which these ideas are presented vary, as does the tone of certain scenes. Through some censoring and editing, some themes are affected and are not as easily identified in all versions of the film. Some of these relate to symbolism through symbolic violence and how humans affect their environment. Other central themes relate to discrimination towards minorities and existential themes and questions. In conclusion: Blade Runner is a complex and topical movie which shifts in tone and theme depending on which version you view.

The design solution for angle selector attachment is developed and carry forward based on initial case study done by KTH Södertäjle students. This project is carried out to find the answers for few questions viz. potential concept design solution, considering the requirements given by Scania that needs to be fulfilled. The work is divided into sub-categories; Concept generation, Concept evaluation, Manufacturing of prototype and Testing. The existing tool solution data is used to compare results with new design while testing and analysing the results. The results show that with the help of new design, it is possible to achieve seamless rotation, locking with I/O signal, can hold torque up to 200 Nm and safety measures are also taken into account. So based on this, new proposition to change the way of tightening with angle selector is given in truck assembly line. / Konstruktionslösningen för ett rotationsvinkelfäste har tagits fram för ett koncept som tidigare har utvecklats i ett studentprojekt vid KTH Södertäjle. Detta projekt har undersökt potentialen hos det föreslagna konceptet och vidareutvecklat det i enlighet med Scanias krav. Arbetet har utförts enligt en vida accepterad systematisk konstruktionsprocess, bestående av följande arbetssekvens; Formulering av systemkrav, Konceptgenerering, Konceptutvärdering och –val, Dimensionering av valt koncept, Prototyptillverkning och Provning (verifiering). Den konstruktionslösning som utvecklats jämförs sedan med den lösning som används på dagens monteringslina. Resultatanalysen visar att den nya lösning, som tagits fram i detta project, möjliggör steglös rotation, och genom låsning med I/O-signal är det möjligt att hantera ett vridmoment på 200 Nm, med bibehållen säkerhet för operatören. Det framtagna rotationsvinkelfästet föreslås att införas på monteringslinan för lastbilar.

La conjecture du coureur solitaire est un problème formulé indépendamment par J.M. Wills en (1972) et par Thomas Cusick (1973). Soit ∥·∥ la distance avec les entiers ∥x∥ = mink∈Z(|x − k|) pour pour x ∈ R. La conjecture nous demande si pour un ensemble de n + 1 réels {v1,v2 . . . vn+1} distincts il existe pour tout k ∈ {1,2,3, . . . ,n,n + 1} un temps t ∈ R tel que pour toute autre vitesse vi,i ̸= k on a ∥t(vi − vk)∥ ≥ 1 n+1 . La conjecture a été montrée pour n + 1 ≤ 7, le cas n + 1 = 7 montré en 2007 par Barajas et Serra. Plusieurs auteurs ont écrit à propos de ce sujet. Dans ce mémoire, il sera question d’exposer les différentes techniques qui ont été utilisées pour les cas n + 1 ≤ 7, certains scénarios dans lesquels la conjecture tient ainsi que les efforts pour trouver des meilleures bornes inférieures pour l’écart de solitude. / The lonely runner conjecture was formulated by J.M. Wills en (1972) and Thomas Cusick (1973). If ∥·∥ denotes the distance from integers, for x ∈ R ∥x∥ = mink∈Z(|x − k|), this conjecture is asking whether or not for any set of n + 1 distinct real numbers {v1,v2 . . . vn+1} and for any k ∈ {1,2,3 . . . ,n + 1} there is a time t ∈ R such that for any other speed vi,i ̸= k we have ∥t(vi − vk)∥ ≥ 1 n+1 . It has been proven to be true for n + 1 ≤ 7 , the last case n + 1 = 7 was shown by Barajas and Serra in 2007. Many authors have wrote about this subject each bringing more knowledge. In this thesis, there will be an exposure on different techniques that have been used to prove the cases for n + 1 ≤ 7, differents cases in wich the conjecture holds and the problem of getting better lower bounds for the gap of loneliness.
