Denna rapport innehåller en produktutvecklingsprocess som fokuserar på att integrera ett mjukstängningssystem för skjutdörrar i ett existerande skåp på IKEA.

This thesis explores some of the possibilities of demand side optimization in online advertising, specifically how to evaluate and bid optimally in real time bidding. Theory for many types of optimizations is discussed. The thesis evaluates auctions from a game theory and control theory perspective. It also discusses how big data sets can be used in real time, and how agents can explore unknown st

With food shortage becoming a growing problem at the same time as the world population increases and cities become more densely populated than ever before, resource efficiency has become a more dire issue than ever. One major problem in food production today is that production efficiency is very weather dependent, transportation is also a big factor in environmental impact and almost half the worl

: Food is an integral part of our everyday lives, with a plethora of social and commercial activities built around it. Despite being so intensive in resources, a third of the production is destined to be wasted. To comply with the waste management guidelines, redistribution should be society’s priority, especially when considering how many individuals cannot afford food. Interestingly, despite its

Starting off, my initial idea was to create a product for children of divorce, that alternate between their parents homes. By conducting interviews with the target group I found different problem areas that I chose to explore further. The problem of constantly having to pack and unpack clothes and other things was what I decided to take further. By sketching I figured out what the core problem was

Purpose: Brand public is a new theory developed as a brand communication on social media. The aim of this thesis is to reveal the value creation of brand public in contrast to the values created by brand community Methodology: We apply a postmodern perspective and our study is constructionistic, therefore we have selected the qualitative approach called netnography. Theoretical Perspectives: We dr

Det finns ett växande behov av miljövänliga sätt att transportera sig och därför har elcykeln slagit stort i Sverige. Elcykeln används ofta som transportmedel till och från jobbet men har potential att användas i andra sammanhang också. Miljöpåverkan orsakad av transport under semesterresor har uppmärksammats på senare tid. Samtidigt ökar efterfrågan på soft adventures, bekväma och tillrättalagda There is a growing demand for environmentally friendly ways of transportation, and therefore the electric bicycle has been booming in Sweden. The electric bicycle is often used as means of transportation to and from work, but has potential to be used in other situations as well. The environmental impact caused by transportation during holidays has recently gained attention. At the same time the de

Syftet med studien är att undersöka vilken roll tillit spelar i leverantörsrelationer samt om tilliten kan vara fördelaktig för båda parter. Studien är av kvalitativ karaktär med abduktiv ansats och den empiriska datan samlades främst in från semistrukturerade intervjuer. Det teoretiska ramverket tar sin utgångspunkt i transaktionskostnadsteorin. Denna teori har sedan valts att ställa i kontrast mThe purpose of this study is to examine what role trust plays in supplier relationships and if trust can be mutually beneficial for the parties involved. This study is of a qualitative character of abductive reasoning och the empirical data was mainly gathered through semi-structured interviews.

Big Data har kommit att bli ett populärt begrepp som av många ämnar beskriva de enorma mängder data som dagligen genereras av olika tekniska apparater. I takt med att mängden data ökat har fler organisationer börjat se dessa mängder som potentiellt värdefulla tillgångar, där mantrat trycks vara ”mycket data leder till bättre beslut”. Undersökningar visar dock att dessa organisationer ofta anses si

Den ekonomiska krisen 2008 bemöttes i flera europeiska länder med åtstramningar av offentliga utgifter. Detta påverkade ländernas förmåga att bidra med social välfärd. Arbetsmarknadsforskning har lyft fram hur kollektivavtal kan spela en viktig roll för att understödja ansträngd, statsfinansierad välfärd genom att tillgodose arbetstagare med trygghet på arbetsmarknaden. Samtidigt är även kollektiv

Parkinsons sjukdom är den näst vanligaste neurologiska sjukdomen efter Alzheimers sjukdom och drabbar årligen runt 2000 personer i Sverige. Sjukdomen drabbar oftast personer över 55 år och ger problem med nedsatt rörelseförmåga, ofrivilliga skakningar och stelhet. Idag finns ingen behandling som botar Parkinsons, och det största hindret mot utvecklingen av en effektiv behandling är bristen på kunsThe 13C mobility and cross-β-sheet structure of lipid-protein co-assemblies formed by incubating ganglioside GM3-containing model membranes with the amyloid protein α-synuclein were investigated by solid-state NMR and wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS) at varying lipid-to-protein ratios and membrane compositions at body temperature. The POPCGM3 model membrane was characterized by PT ssNMR and X-ra

Between 2017 and 2025 Sweden is in need of an additional 600 000 homes to supply the current widespread shortage of housing. At the same time, this addition should preferably take place without taking new land in use. One way to densify effectively is to use existing industrial facilities in central locations. This thesis aims at promoting cultural and architectural history by creating recommendat

This paper deals with the problem regarding the temporality of the future residence permits in relation to recruiters’ reflections on their recruitment process. The study is based on interviews with recruiters from two municipal organizations. The material from the interviews are analysed with a critical approach to neo-liberalism and with the help of theories about racialization processes, migrat

Within the first decade of this millennium several Western European countries have prohibited Muslim veils in public spaces. Excluding the culture of Muslims or more specifically Islamic beliefs in a multicultural society, in which the hardest hit are Muslim veiled women, has resulted in the discourse of the ‘rise and fall of multiculturalism’. Although Sweden has not prohibited hijab or any other

Fossilbaserad elproduktion i Sverige fasas ut allt mer och ersätts med förnybara energikällor. Omställningen till ett mer förnybart energisystem fortgår redan nu eftersom intermittenta förnybara energikällor, såsom vindkraft, driftsätts varje år. Denna omvandling innebär utmaningar för elnätet eftersom tillgång och efterfrågan inte alltid sammanfaller. Flexibilitetsåtgärder kan mildra dessa effekt
