The past decade, advancements in semiconductor technology as well as the construction of large data centers around the world have given rise to the possibility to connect anything to the internet. In today’s electronics industry, “Internet-of-things”-applications are in a huge demand where companies are being subject to massive competition. Given this reality, resources within a small development

Green building certification has had major impact on commercial real estate in recent years. The most common certification systems in Sweden are Miljöbyggnad, LEED, BREEAM and GreenBuilding.

The company wants to be able to visualize this data for their customers in order for their customers

This thesis project has been conducted in collaboration with Cenito AB, a software-developing company based in Malmö. Cenito has currently a responsive website, a SPA (Single Page Application). A responsive website implies that the size and appearance adapts to the unit that is trying to access the site. This site is being used by Cenito as a basis or first building block for other application tha

Today’s construction industry has an enormous pressure on its shoulders the request is high and the resources too low. Companies are therefore forced to reduce the time for each project, and as a result important parts for the security of the project don’t get enough time. In a short period of time a lot of things needs to be done, and by this, the risk management and the work with risk analysis d

To be able to cover future needs, in regards to urbanization and an increasing population, the construction industry must to a greater extent meet demands. One way to increase the production rate is by increasing the level of prefabrication and industrial building. If the industry had become better at learning from past mistakes, it would have given a greater opportunity to streamline processes, m

FooBadges is an initiative by Foo Café where the vision is to increase the participation in events at Foo Café and reduce the number of people who choose not to attend an event they have signed up for. To increase the participation in events at Foo Café and reduce the number of people who sign up for an event but choose not to attend, a proposal for an Open Badge-system should be presented. An Ope

The rules of responsibility regarding the working enviroment during the production in the construction industy makes it hard to demand responsibility when accidents occur even when there are flaws in the working enviroment. Flaws in the working enviroment is a big problem on construction sites and there are alot of accidents but at the same time only a few lead to conviction. The way cnstruction s

In collaboration with Wallåkra stenkärlsfabrik, the possibility of making a factory building (dating from 1864) more energy efficient has been investigated. The aim was to seek practical solutions that could be applied to a historical building without compromising its external appearance. A series of solutions, such as internally improving the building envelope and options for renewable heating an

Studien är en kvalitativ undersökning som utförts med det uttalade syftet att skapa en ökad förståelse för oerfarna konsumenters beteende vid livsmedelskonsumtion online. Studien baseras på Moran et al (2014, s. 202) modell som undersöker konsumenters resa i en digital kontext samt Jiang et al. (2015, s. 303) konceptuella modell över hur e-servicekvalitet bidrar till ett upplevt värde för onlineko

Fotosyntetiserande växter, alger och bakterier fångar in och omvandlar solenergi till kemisk energi. Själva ljusinfångningen involverar olika pigment, varav de mest kända är de gröna klorofyllmolekylerna som förekommer i olika varianter (varav två varianter kallade klorofyll A respektive B förekommer hos högre växter). De ljusinfångande pigmenten inkluderar även de mer mångtaliga karotenoiderna, ePhotosynthetic organisms harvest and convert light energy into chemical energy and utilize it in their metabolism. The light is captured through pigments called chlorophylls and carotenoids, present in the thylakoid membranes inside the chloroplast. In addition to acting as auxiliary light harvesters, the carotenoids also act as antioxidants by 1) preventing the formation of reactive oxygen specie

The aim of this study was to examine volunteers’ experiences of voluntary work with Roma people in Romania, and what impact it might have given the volunteers. To answer this, we used a qualitative method were we interviewed six volunteers who had been working as volunteers in Romania. Our conclusion is that the volunteers learned by being “on location” and that their experiences made an impact in

Psykisk ohälsa är idag ett ökande problem i samhället och det visar att 30 procent av befolkningen i Sverige någon gång under sin livstid drabbas av psykisk ohälsa. Personer som lider av psykisk ohälsa har ofta närstående som också påverkas och har erfarenheter av denna livssituation. Syftet med föreliggande litteraturstudie är att fördjupa kunskapen kring vuxna barns erfarenheter av att växa upp

This study is concerned with the apparent gap between knowledge management literature and persona creation guidelines. As the authors recognized that the guidelines don’t seem to advise User Experience professionals to present information how users want to see it. The purpose of this study is to explore how UX professionals negotiate optimal communication medium for information representation. Bas

Sverige är ett informationssamhälle där tjänster och funktioner digitaliseras med hjälp av ny teknik och internet. Trots att den digitala klyftan som uppstått av digitaliseringen har krympt, då fler äldre idag använder sig av internet, så är fortfarande den största gruppen som står utanför informationssamhället och digitaliseringen äldre. Med hjälp av modellen Diffusion of Innovation skapas förstå

Användaracceptans med avseende till informationssystem är ett välkänt fenomen, och förknippas ofta med framgång. I samband med IT-system utgör användaracceptans en avgörande roll för hållbara IT-lösningar och systemimplementationer. Vid utebliven systemanvändning, blir systeminvesteringen inte värdeadderande och förändringen når inte önskad framgång. Relationen mellan system och användare referera

Det råder idag en bred samsyn om att vårt klimat påverkas kraftigt av de växthusgaser som vi människor släpper ut i atmosfären från olika industrier och verksamheter. Det globala klimatet blir varmare och jordens medeltemperatur stiger. I Sverige står livsmedelsproduktionen för en betydelsefull del av Sveriges totala miljöpåverkan, ca 25 % av de totala utsläppen från konsumentdriven produktion. De

Denna studie tar utgångspunkt i hur småbarnsföräldrar delar upp hushållsarbetet. Statistik och tidigare forskning visar att i traditionella småbarnsfamiljer är det oftast kvinnan som tar huvudansvaret för hushållsarbete och lägger ned mest tid på det. Även par som tidigare levt jämställt får oftast en mer ojämställd uppdelning av hushållsarbetet efter att de har fått barn. Frågeställningen för det

Antalet IT-projekt ökar medan andelen framgångsrika IT-projekt fortfarande är låg. Litteraturen lyfter ofta fram planeringsarbete som en viktig faktor för att lyckas med projekt. Samtidigt finns det tvetydighet i litteraturen när det gäller användning av teknologi i IT-projekt för att stödja planeringsarbetet. Vår studie utgörs av individuella kvalitativa intervjuer med projektledare inom IT-företThe amount of IT projects are rising whilst the amount of successful IT projects are at a relatively low percentage. The academic literature often highlights the project planning as an important factor for successful projects. Meanwhile, there is an ambiguity in the academic literature regarding the subject of the use of various project manager technologies in IT projects. This study consists of i
