Människan har sedan urminnes tider tittat upp mot himlen och försökt lista ut vår plats i Universum. Vi har kommit långt fram sedan tiderna man kartlade stjärnors positioner för hand, till att använda superdatorer till att simulera kosmisk historia. Just nu befinner vi oss i en era där stora resurser läggs ner på att studera vårt hem, vår galax, Vintergatan, i mycket större detalj än förr. En av dI investigate to what extent spiral arms might affect axisymmetric Galactic models. As we need fully dynamical and high resolution Galactic evolutionary models to probe the structure of the dark matter halo, it is important that we use accurate mass models describing the MW structure. Before reaching to that level of effort, a great deal can be learned from fitting mass and kinematic models to dat

Issue of study: The plastic injection moulding industry has become highly competitive in terms of lead times and pricing, following an increase in low-cost manufacturing from Asia, as a part of the full supply chain. To remain competitive, mould tool manufacturers are looking to complement new tool manufacturing with local after-sales services in countries where their mould tools are being used. U

Background H&M Online has experienced rapid growth over the last years and is now present in Europe, North America and Asia. To be a successful fashion etailer, companies need to overcome typical fashion challenges such as seasonality, short product life cycles and a constantly changing customer demand. In addition, companies must learn to master the special characteristics of e-commerce such

One way for manufacturing companies to gain competitive advantage in today’s business environment is to complement the product offering with surrounding services that deliver superior value to the customer. Further, the demand for these surrounding services is influenced by market-specific customer requirements, surrounding competitive environment and local prerequisites. Therefore, there is a nee

The aim of our research has been to identify what prevents Syncron from implementing a single item emergency ordering policy in their inventory management system, GIM. Emergency ordering is defined here as the ability to use two supply sources, a normal one and a faster more expensive emergency source. We further wanted to investigate under what circumstances an emergency ordering policy could be

Background Technological advancements over the last decades have resulted in an increased degree of digitalisation within as well as in between companies around the world. As a result, requirements on companies in general are growing and global competition is steadily increasing. One area for which this is highly relevant, and for which there is still a lot of potential for improvement, is industr

En två-kolonn MCSGP process för upprening av Liraglutid genomfördes i laboratorieskala. Den här processen är inte en kommersiell uppreningsprocess, utan att den är ett modellsystem med en realistisk peptidblandning och med en icke-kommersiell harts. Först modellerades processen med en konvektiv dispersiv modell för att beskriva koncentrationen genom kolonnen och den steriska massaktionsmodellen föA twin-column MCSGP process for the purification of Liraglutide was implemented at lab scale. This process is not a commercial separation step, but it is a model system with a realistic peptide mixture and with a non-commercial resin. First, the process was modeled using a convective dispersive model to describe the concentration along the column and the steric mass action model to describe the ad

Bakgrund: Det finns evidensbaserad empirisk information som berör stigmatisering av HIV-smittade personer inom vården. HIV förekommer i Sverige men få studier fokuserar på hur HIV-smittade patienter i Sverige upplever mötet med vården. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur HIV-smittade personer upplever att de blir bemötta inom hälso- och sjukvården. Metod: En litteraturstudie som basera

Syfte: Uppsatsen syfte är att utöka förståelsen kring huruvida fakulteter vid ett universitet arbetar med sin märkesidentitet med hjälp av internal branding för att differentierar sig i en värld där konkurrensen hårdnar och ackrediteringar riskerar att likforma fakulteterna. Metod: En kvalitativ studie har genomförts med ett hermeneutistiskt fenomenologiskt förhållningssätt. Den analys och slutsaPurpose: The purpose of this thesis is to bring awareness whether the faculties at the universities is working with its brand identity by using internal branding in order to differentiate themselves, in a world where competition is intensifying and where accreditations threaten to uniform the faculties. Methodology: A qualitative study has been conducted with a hermeneutic phenomenological approa

Hur kommer det sig att vi ofta inte har någon aning om vilka våra grannar är, trots att vi bor så nära varandra? I flerbostadshus bor vi vägg i vägg med människor vi inte vet någonting om. Vissa har vi inte ens mött ansikte mot ansikte. Detta skapar en generell känsla av otrygghet, eftersom vi inte känner människorna som lever omkring oss. Det ökar inte tillhörigheten till boendemiljön och bidrar

The Burkini, a swimwear that covers the entire body except but the face, hands and feet, was banned from French beaches in 2016 and created a heated debate in French and international media. This study focuses on the politics of the Burkini, where politicians’ arguments against the Burkini are divided into three major themes: (1) the Burkini as oppressive, (2) the Burkini as a threat to the social

Den nedlagda deponin vid Gustavsfält i Halmstad användes mellan 1950-1967. Dokumentation-en av vad som har lagts där är bristfällig. Flertalet grund- och ytvattenundersökningar har gjorts för att se hur påver-kansriskerna ser ut till omkringliggande områden. Bedömningarna av resultaten har varierat, men inga större åtgär-der har ansetts nödvändiga. Undersökningens målsättning var att ta reda på ifThe closed landfill at Gustavsfält in Halmstad was used during 1950-1967. The documentation of what has been put there is limited. The majority of ground and surface water inve-stigations have been done to see how advocacy risks appear to surrounding areas. The assessments of the results have varied, but no major action has been deemed necessary. The study objective was to determine if the electri

The interest for renewable energy within Australia is growing and the New South Wales (NSW) Government has committed to a Renewable Energy Target scheme of 20 percent renewable energy by 2020. Wind energy is a mature renewable energy resource, which has been successfully deployed for electricity generation around the world. It is further believed to be a viable option to help expand the renewable

This thesis makes a review of existing algorithms and methods for route choice. Algorithms and methods already implemented in fire evacuation simulators are examined, as well as those that are implemented in computer games, traffic models or theoretical models that are to date not implemented at all. An analysis is made to get an overview of their strengths and limitations to be able to determine

Agricultural intensification has led to the homogenization of the landscape and the disappearance of diverse habitats with rich flower resources that are important for pollinating insects. The main insect pollinators, by far, are bees. And while honey bees (Apis mellifera) are the best known, there are also hundreds of other species of bees that contribute to pollination services. Due to their for

The wildlife park Kolmården in Norrköping, Sweden, asked for a device that could visually feedback how dolphins use their ultrasound signals while echolocating objects. By recording the sound from the dolphin, process the sound and then create a visual feedback by having LED's flash in different frequencies, depending on the distance between dolphin and device. The purpose of the device is havVisual response to dolphin echolocation It is well known that dolphins use echolocation but how about watching what actually happens? A device that shows the audience some of the information contained within the emitted ultrasonic waves. It is a small fish look-alike device that is created to simulate how the dolphins behave while hunting. By picking up the echolocation signals sent out from the

Emojis are an increasingly popular addition to written smartphone communication. Since emojis are a rather new phenomena, there is a lot that we do not know about the usage and interpretation of emojis in written communication. This bachelor thesis focuses on the production and interpretation of emojis among Swedish university students, and through a focus group interview, possible functions, inte

Häktning är ett straffprocessuellt tvångsmedel som används i brottsmål för att underlätta polisens och åklagarens utredning av ett misstänkt brott. Häktning innebär att en person misstänkt för ett specifikt brott får sina rättigheter inskränkta med laga stöd. Häktning är en frihetsberövande åtgärd som används trots att den misstänkte personen ännu inte är dömd. De särskilda häktningsgrunder som enThe use of detention in a remand prison is a tool of pre-trial supervision in order to facilitate the investigation of an alleged crime. The grounds for using detention in a remand prison for a person suspected for an alleged crime is the risk of the suspect continuing its criminal acts, the flight risk of the suspect and the risk of the suspect having a unduly effect on the investigation of the a

Materia är uppbyggd av atomer. Atomer är uppbyggda av tre typer av partiklar: protoner, elektroner och neutroner. Neutronen är beståndsdelen som blev sist upptäckt. Elektronen upptäcktes av J.J. Thompson. Ernest Rutherford upptäckte att atomer har en positivt laddad kärna. Det här var bevis på protonens existens. Under Rutherfords tid så visste man redan om neutronen men det var inte förrän 1932 dThe aim of this project was to measure the profile of the radiation exiting an aperture of the Aquarium at the Source Testing Facility at the Division of Nuclear Physics at Lund University. So far, the outgoing beam of radiation at the aperture of the Aquarium has been assumed to be uniform. The radiation is produced by a Beryllium-based radioactive source and comes in the form of neutrons and γ-r
