I chose car design, because I like to discover modern car accidence. I find developmnet in this part of design fascinating. I’d probably have most freedom while designing a sport car, but since its very popular theme among students, I went with car for traveling. At first I wanted to create a futuristic concept. So I mostly did just idea sketching, while focusing on dynamic shape. Later I started to add more functional aspects to the design. I wanted to create automobile, that would bypass private cars and minibuses. I tryed to make my car flexible for traveling even longer distances, also sideseeing and city transport, therefor big part of exteriour is covered by windows, which leads to weaker cabine. Thats why I made firmer side posts to support the roof. While designing I was influenced by recent concepts and latest technologies, that were presented by leading automobile companies, such as electric glas and glas shaping. I believe one of the most interesting parts on my car is the headlights, that are situated under the front window surface. The headlights and also partialy the engine is visible from above through the frontal glass hood.

This Diploma thesis deals with the design of amphibious residential car. The product is first parsed from design, marketing and technical ways. Then on the basis of analysis is designed new design that meets the ergonomic, technical, aesthetic and psychological aspects.

The sharing economy is an evolving economic model that is based on collaboration and sharing access to goods with other people. A leading example of this are car-sharing services, which allow people who are strangers to each other to access a car in return of a fee. Although these services are widely spreading across the globe, there is still a short understanding of the customer motives and barriers to engage in these services. The purpose of this thesis was to explore the factors that affect customer participation in carsharing services including motives and barriers. The study was designed to test and modify an adapted conceptual framework through conducting an abductive qualitative study in the form of semi-structured in-depth interviews with a total of 18 interviewees. The empirical findings of the study suggest that there is a total of 14 relevant factors affecting consumer participation in sharing services: 3 factors were related to consumption trends, 7 factors were identified as motives and 4 as barriers. Among all of these factors, economic motivations were recognized to be the most critical factor for customers. The results of this study are highly relevant to companies which operate car-sharing services when considering customer needs and demands.

El presente trabajo corresponde al curso de Desarrollo de Negocios 2, a lo largo del desarrollo aplicaremos conceptos y herramientas aprendidas a lo largo de la carrera de la Universidad Peruana de Ciencias Aplicadas.

Service Car Express, plantea la idea de negocios que apunta al sector automotriz, al cuidado de los vehículos y asesoramiento vehicular. Nuestra idea está dirigida al NSE B y C y a personas o empresas que cuenten con vehículos considerados de segunda mano o a aquellos que estén planeando adquirir un vehículo dentro de distritos como Miraflores, Surco, Chorrillos, Barranco, San Miguel, Surquillo y Jesús María. Service Car Express, llega con una propuesta de valor diferente a la que está acostumbrado el cliente, servicios netamente a domicilio buscando reducir el tiempo perdido de nuestros clientes y volviendo esa parte de sus vidas tan tediosa de ir al taller en algo simplemente práctico e innovador, disponible en el momento.

Chimeric antigen receptors (CAR) are modular genetically modified receptors that consist of an extracellular antigen binding domain fused to intracellular T-cell signaling domains. CAR therapy broadly consists of engineering a patient’s own T-cells to express a CAR directed against a tumor cell surface antigen. This therapy has been extremely successful in treating B-cell neoplasms by targeting CD19 and is paradigm changing in developing personalized immunotherapy for oncology applications. Although impressive response rates are observed, the durability of therapeutic response remains a concern and relapse mechanisms frequently center around issues of antigen loss. In addition, heterogeneous disease and solid tumors present formidable barriers toward extending the applicability of CAR technology as a result of compounding issues of tumor microenvironment and cell trafficking. In this thesis we review the current thought on the state of CAR therapy and the challenges to therapeutic efficacy, therapeutic manufacture, and clinical safety in the context of each other with an overall emphasis on identifying the fundamental goal of making fit-for-purpose CARs for different diseases.

Automobilpalatset i Jönköping, ritat av byggnadsingenjör Birger Lindström, uppfördes under åren 1929-1930 och var ett av de första parkeringshusen i Sverige. Förutom parkering fanns det utställningshallar och bilförsäljning, service och bensinstation-långt före bilismen var en del av folks vardag. Efter rivningshot byggnadsminnesmärktes huset år 2001.   Idag finns andra affärsverksamheter i gatuplan, resterande våningar står relativt tomma och mycket nedgånga. Automobilpalatset ägs av kommunen och det finns för närvarande ingen plan för förändring.   Jag vill i mitt förslag addera människan till Automobilpalatset. Stadsbilden och synen på bilen har förändrats sedan 1930. Det är inte rimligt i dagens samhälle att frånta en stadskärna den potential som Automobilpalatset besitter genom att förvanska byggnaden och låta den stå mestadels tom. Det känns inte heller längre modernt att parkera bilar i ett så kallat palats. Den unika arkitektur och kontext som man hittar i byggnaden borde istället till större del  öppnas upp för allmänheten. Att få ta del av dessa fantastiska rum skulle vara en upplevelse för besökaren och möjliggöra en mer levande attraktiv stadsbild.   Gatubilden under kvällen skulle förändras av att de stora fönstren äntligen fick lysa upp av de boende vilket skulle trygga platsen såväl som synliggöra huset på ett nytt sätt. Byggnadens komplexa uppbyggnad med split-level-plan skapar speciella situationer. Flexibilitet och robusthet liksom tydliga industrifunkisvärden i struktur, rymd och materialitet präglar huset. Utmaningen ligger bland annat i den djupa huskroppens stora mörka ytor och i det att väga mellan nytt och gammalt. / “Automobilpalatset” in Jönköping , designed by engineer Birger Lindstrom and built 1929-1930, was one of the first car parks in Sweden . In addition to parkingspace , there were showrooms and car sales , service and a petrol station - long before the car was a part of people's everyday lives. After threats of demolition the building was named a heritage, to be protected, in 2001.   Today, there is other business related spaces at street level , while the remaining floors are relatively empty and in very bad shape . Automobilpalatset is owned by the municipality and there is currently no plan for changes.   In my proposal I wan’t to add people to this place. Cityscape and the opinion of cars has changed since 1930. It is not reasonable in today's society to deprive a city center the potential that this buildning possesses by distorting the building and leaving it empty . It's no longer fashionable to park cars in a so-called palace. The unique architecture and context that one finds in the building ought instead to be opened up and public. To take part of this amazing place would be an experience for the visitor and allow for a more vibrant attractive cityscape. The large windows, finally lit up by residents, would change how the building is looked up-on. The building complex structures with a split-level-plan creates special situations. Flexibility and robustness as well as the industrustrial modernist values ​​in structure , space and materiality characterizes the house. The challenge in restoring it lies in the deep volume and large dark surfaces, and in balancing between new and old.
