The most common controller in the process industry today is the PID controller due to its simple structure. A regular factory may have thousands of different PID controllers in use where each of them has to be tuned to work satisfactory. Doing this manually can become both a difficult and time consuming task where some knowledge for each process is required. Therefore, it is highly beneficial to h
The purpose of this study has been to examine in which ways musical artists and entertainers have been working with digital media and intermedial relations during the corona pandemic in the years 2020-2021. Using qualitative methods, this paper aims to create a deeper understanding of digital working strategies and the benefits that can be found with these in comparison with more traditional non-d
Voluntary Sustainability Standards (VSS) and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) share similar objectives. VSS are being increasingly used because of their claims to address sustainability issues at the production stage, such as greenhouse gas emissions in production, biodiversity conservation, labor rights, worker’s wages, local pollution and good corporate governance. These issues are also
Dealing with difficult conversations is recognised as being one of the most challenging aspects of the managerial role. Scholarly research within this field is primarily normative in its nature where difficult conversations are still poorly understood from managers’ point of view. This thesis aimed to explore and analyse how middle managers perceive difficult one-on-one conversations in terms of t
To meet the aims of the Paris climate agreement, it is necessary to reduce energy use in buildings. Efficient HVAC systems are a critical part in achieving a low delivered energy use. However, there is a lack of comparative information of the best HVAC systems for apartment buildings, which represent an increasing share of newly built floor area in the Nordic countries. Elements of HVAC systems we
John Lucas and Roger Penrose attempted to refute Computationalism, the theory that the human mind is a computational system. They did so by utilizing meta-mathematical proofs by Kurt Gödel. I will explore various objections made against the attempt and discover that it relies on two uncertain premises – human consistency and proof for the consistency of a formal system. Revisions of the argument a
Energy efficiency and environmental questions have gained increased attention over the last decade. In combination with global warming and increasing cooling demands, the Swedish market for combined heating and cooling solutions such as ground source heat pumps expands. As it currently stands, the multi-family building market is highly dominated by district heating, while the market share of combi
In this paper I discuss the compatibility of externalism about epistemic justification with the well-known KK-thesis in epistemic logic. A weaker form of the KK-thesis (if one knows, one is also in a position to know that one knows) is first defended against Williamson's anti-luminosity arguments. Given some base assumptions about the nature of human beings and states of knowing, it is argued

Svenskt företagande har historiskt haft en stark ekonomisk koppling till Tyskland. Den tyska marknaden ses ofta som en attraktiv plattform för svenska företag att etablera sig på och en möjlighet till expansion av bolagets verksamhet. Vid en etablering i Tyskland väljer många svenska aktiebolag att använda sig av bolagsformen Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung, som också är den mest frekvent anSwedish entrepreneurship has historically had a strong economic connection to Germany. The German market is often seen as an attractive platform for Swedish companies to establish themselves on and an opportunity for expansion of the company's operations. When establishing in Germany, many Swedish limited companies choose to use the company form “Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung", wh
This project documentation presents an overview of the design process of the master thesis of Elisabeth Langer and Lisa Laugs at Lund University, School of Industrial Design. The topic of the master thesis was rainwater harvesting, which was first explored through extensive research and analysis. This topic is highly relevant as several aspects such as population growth, urbanisation, and climate
Deliver us from evil! : A study of the use of the uncatalogued small print and ephemera at the Lund University Library. Since 1698 everything printed in Sweden has been delivered to, kept, and made accessible at, the Lund University Library. A considerable part of the material is arranged according to the principle of provenance in a collection with an annual growth of approximately 150 shelfmet
Gamification is a concept which can be used to enhance performance and motivation to learn with the help of game design. The present study aims to investigate the effects of gamification on performance, intrinsic motivation, amotivation, as well as exploring the interactions with personality traits. In two separate studies using a randomized experimental design gamification defined by narrative, a

The carbon emissions from tourism transportation have been a significant environmental issue. Studies have tried to investigate the impacts of sustainability initiatives provided by tourism transportation on travellers, but the target group and the types of transportation are limited. Therefore, the thesis aims to understand the environmental value co-creation process of sustainability options pro
The Covid-19 pandemic triggered a global recession that has had large negative effects on both men and women in the Swedish labor market. We examine how the Swedish strategy of not imposing a lockdown has affected gender-specific labor market outcomes: relative female employment rate and weekly hours worked. To begin with, we study the development of these outcomes in Sweden. Looking at relative f
När den globala marknaden ökar och e-handeln utvecklas blir lageraktiviteterna alltmer viktiga för företag. Lager i sig adderar inte något extra värde på de produkter eller varor som lagras i dem, utan generar enbart värde till kunder genom att kunna erbjuda de produkter som de efterfrågar i rätt tid, i rätt kvantitet och kvalitet. Således blir det viktigt för företag att studera processerna i ettThe warehouse activities have become more important as the global market increases and the e-commerce develops. Warehouses do not add any extra value to the items that are stored in them, but only to customers by providing them with their orders at the time they want it, in the right quality and in the right amount. This leads to the importance of studying the processes in a warehouse, and how the
