Background: Operations planning and control has undergone an extensive shift from an individual company focus to a complete supply chain focus which has required a new common approach for supply chain planning and control to evolve. Increasing competition and globalization has created complexity in supply chain planning and integration since it requires a new cross-functional approach. To handle s
Body-worn cameras are cameras that are used by law enforcement and other personnel and act as mobile surveillance and information gathering. When these cameras are worn they can be subjected to a lot of movements and thereby the image captured can be shaky and of poor quality. The purpose of this thesis is to explore, understand and find improvements in the image stabilization of the Axis body-wor
Digitaliseringen har medfört en förändring i hur individer och företag interagerar med varandra. Särskilt har sociala medier plattformar som Instagram blivit ett viktigt verktyg för individer och företag att nå ut till en potentiell publik. Mikro-influencers har framträtt som ett fenomen på denna arena och utnyttjar Instagram för att främja idéer, produkter och tjänster. Denna kvalitativa studie dThe digital age has brought about a significant change in how individuals and businesses interact with each other. In particular, social media platforms like Instagram have become a crucial tool for businesses and individuals to reach out to potential customers and audiences. micro-influencers have emerged as a new phenomenon in this space, utilizing Instagram to promote their ideas, products, and
I detaljplaner som har fler än en tillåten markanvändning kan en värderingsskillnad uppstå beroende på vilken markanvändning som värderingen baseras på. Ett tydligt exempel där ett sådant problem kan uppstå är när kontor (K) och industri (J) är den tillåtna markanvändningen inom samma bit mark. Liknande problematik kan även uppstå där det endast är en markanvändning tillåten. Det tydliga exemplet In detailed development plans that have more than one allowed use of the land a difference in value may occur depending on what regulated land use the valuation is based on. The type of land that can cause such value-differences is called flexible detailed development planned land in this paper. When municipalities upon sale can’t obtain a land price based on the highest valued land use they have
The purpose of this study is to contribute to the understanding of external and internalised stereotypes female leaders in maledominated environments face, as well as to shed light on opportunities of countering stereotypes in order to give voice to new perspectives and experiences, allowing for improvements for future female leaders. The research contributes to literature on stereotypes around fe
Digital divide is the gap between individuals who have access to and can use the internet and ICT devices and those who do not. In this thesis, factors such as income, education, positional categories, electrical power supply, digital literacy etc. are identified as contributors to the cause of digital divide in Nigeria. The quantitative research method was adopted in order to measure those variab
This essay analysis the speech President Vladimir Putin gave on the red square in Moscow on the 30th of September 2022. The aim of the essay is to understand the audience to whom Putin delivered his speech and to analyse what ideology and world view that could have been projected on them thru the discourses secondpersona. The main question at issue is: In what way and form does the discourses seco
Under det senaste året har indexreglerad hyra diskuterats intensivt i media. Hyresgäster är upprörda över stora hyresökningar samtidigt som fastighetsägare drabbas av ökade kostnader. Syftet med studien är att studera hur väl systemet för indexreglerade lokalhyresavtal fungerar i en höginflationsmiljö. Frågeställningar som besvaras i rapporten är: 1. Vad ser parterna för fördelar och nackdelar mDuring the last year, index-regulated rent has been intensively discussed in the media. Tenants are upset about large rent increases at the same time as property owners suffer from increased costs. This paper aims to study how well the system for index-regulated rental leases works during high inflation. The questions that will be answered in the report are: 1. What do the parties see as advantag
Even though agriculture is the backbone of India´s economy, farmers from various parts of the country are committing suicide. It is not a phenomenon by itself; instead, it is an intense demonstration of the underlying distress (the agrarian crisis) present in the nation for a long period of time. The statistical information provided by the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) in India suggests tha
Detta examensarbete utvärderar ett absorptionshämmande tillsatsmedel för att möjliggöra användningen av krävande ballast vid betongtillverkning. Den huvudsakliga anledningen till att ballasten benämns som krävande är att den har ovanligt hög absorptionsförmåga. Studien undersöker hur betongens egenskaper påverkas av olika halter absorptionshämmare. Dels studerades glimmerrikt bergkrossmaterial, soThis master thesis evaluates an absorption-inhibiting admixture to enable the use of demanding aggregate materials in concrete production. This was achieved by investigating how the properties of concrete were affected by different levels of absorption inhibitor. Firstly, mica-rich aggre-gate material was studied, which, due to its high mica mineral content, has a high water absorption rate that i
I denna rapport analyseras hur dimensioneringen av Rectiverter och UPS systemens storlek är anpassade för driftsplatsernas faktiska elförbrukning och vilka potentiella lösningar som finns för att effektivisera användandet av systemen för att minska elförbrukningen. Effektiviserandet av driftplatsernas system kommer att leda till en kostnadseffektivare anläggning. För svenska lågspänningsanläggningThis report analyzes how the size of Rectiverter and UPS systems is tailored to the actual electricity consumption at operational sites and explores potential solutions to optimize the usage of these systems in order to reduce electricity consumption. Optimizing the operational sites' systems will result in a more cost-effective facility. In Swedish low-voltage installations, a standard has be
Environmental Building Certification (EBC) assessments are often time-consuming and challenging, as they encompass a lengthy process that includes modelling, simulation, proofing, credit calculation, and report writing. Hence, there is a growing need to streamline this process. The objective of this thesis is to examine existing Building Energy Modelling (BEM) workflows and evaluate their abilit
The COVID-19 pandemic caused severe economic and social disruptions in Kenya, which exacerbated vulnerabilities and raised concerns about potential increases in human trafficking. Therefore, this qualitative case study examines how the pandemic affected human trafficking and NGO responses during this period. The primary data was collected through 14 semi-structured interviews with anti-trafficking
Objectives: Artisanal and Small-Scale Mining (ASM) - a labour-intensive and low-tech mode of minerals extraction and processing - has received increasing attention amidst global commodity booms and its concurrent expansion. Infamously associated with negative social and environmental impacts, responsible mining initiatives have emerged to promote, measure, and enforce sustainable mining practices
Context: Today, 96% of Sweden’s materials come from virgin resources and only 3.4% of resources used in Sweden are retained in the value chain. From a total of 266 million tonnes fed into the economy each year, 46.9% consist of construction materials. Hence, there is a need to adapt circular strategies, such as reuse of construction products, to meet Sweden’s goal of becoming net zero by the year
Stamceller är celler som kan omvandlas till vilken celltyp som helst, vilket gör dem mycket användbara inom olika medicinska behandlingar och undersökningar. Stamceller kan exempelvis behandla cancer och diabetes, men skulle även kunna användas till att bota förlamning. Idag pågår det mycket forskning kring hur vanliga celler kan omvandlas till stamceller. Genom att manipulera mängden olika transkSince stem cells have many applications in medicine and can be used for treating e.g. cancer and diabetes, finding efficient methods for producing them is a relevant area of research. Cell reprogramming is such a method and our collaborators recently showed that adding Hic2 to the existing protocols of methods increases the efficiency from 1% to 10%. In this thesis, I aim to investigate how an add
