Cheese products are an essential part of the human diet, consequently making the ability of milk to coagulate a critical part for the dairy industry. However, milk that coagulates poorly or not at all after the addition of rennet has been found among several dairy cattle breeds, including Swedish Red cows. This master thesis was therefore aimed to evaluate and compare a number of compositional, ph
Augmented Reality, på svenska även kallat förstärkt verklighet, har lämnat labratoriestadiet och introducerats på konsumentmarknaden. Hittills har AR främst riktats mot användare för att tillföra ett nöje som exempelvis Snapchat:s filter. Många studier har gjorts för att mäta an- vändaracceptans av AR-appar, dock har de i regel utförts på studenter. Detta har medfört att majoriteten av studierna ä
Energy harvesting enables products to become more self-sufficient of power and offers the possibility to avoid battery exchange and power cables. The performance and applicability of the most promising or popular small scale energy harvesting technologies are investigated in this thesis. The focus lies on the amount of potential energy that can be harvested and how limited the technology is to a s
Organizations struggle to rapidly respond to competitive and changing business environments and therefore implement smarter Information Systems that incorporate automated decision services. An imminent role for complementing automated decision making are analytics, as it can evaluate past performances to provide insights on potential future decision making endeavors. While the consensus on how ana
Digitalisering av sjukvården tar idag stor plats i samhällsdiskussionen och ses som ett sätt att möta utmaningarna sjukvården står inför. En förutsättning för ett effektiviserat sjukvårdssystem är en förstärkt och effektiviserad primärvård. E-hälsa och digital teknik är viktiga verktyg för att kunna uppnå detta. I Sverige finns ett fåtal digitala vårdcentraler. För att de ska vara en långsiktig lö
This study examines if there are positive effects of constructing portfolios based on value and momentum. Three value portfolios (low, medium, high) and three momentum portfolios are constructed using large cap stocks from the four Nordic Nasdaq OMX exchanges. The portfolios are then re-sorted on an annual basis over the test period 2005-2016. Furthermore, two long-short market neutral portfolios
Den här fallstudien syftar till att analysera och förklara varför ett visst samhälle i Anderna i norra Peru som arbetar och fungerar under kooperativ som social ordning har varit relativt sett framgångsrik när det gäller att skapa arbetstillfällen och en till synes mer utvecklad organisation. Atahualpa-Jerusalen bildades som ett kooperativ I kölvattnet av jordreformen från 1969 i Peru. Under 1970-
In 2016, a new restrictive asylum law was passed in Sweden, which limits asylum seekers’ possibilities of being granted residence permits and being reunited with their families. The passing of new restrictive asylum in law is interesting, since values such as solidarity and cosmopolitan ideals are deeply entrenched within the Swedish welfare state, which were evident in expansive immigration polic
There is an upsurge of consumer interest in functional foods, especially probiotics. Alongside there is a global rise in the ‘vegan’ market. However, there is insufficient research and development in the field of non-dairy probiotic food formulations. Development of probiotic oat-based yogurt, called oatgurt that is manufactured by Oatly AB, was studied by incorporating Lactobacillus plantarum 299
In industrial production of mayonnaise it is important to both get a product of high quality and to avoid phase inversion. To investigate how the quality and phase inversion point are affected by changes in the production, a high shear mixer and an immersion blender were used to make mayonnaise. The stirring speed, temperature, egg content, egg type and oil content were changed to see how the qual
The World Bank is a key actor within development, continuously funding projects on women’s empowerment in countries world-wide; Liberia being one of them. Women and girls have been particularly affected by previous conflicts in Liberia, strongly impinging on their participation in the labor market still today (UN Women 2014). Research shows that one of the foremost issues for women today is the fa
Mobile business intelligence (MBI) handlar som namnet antyder om en mobil variant av traditionell business intelligence (BI). Det senaste årtiondets explosionsartade framfart för smarta telefoner och surfplattor har givit nya förutsättningar för användandet av MBI. I övergången från skapandet av traditionella BI-lösningar till MBI-lösningar kan en del barriärer uppstå och det är dessa vi i denna u
Bridging the technological innovation gap in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is a concern to governments and development partners. Investments in programmes that will facilitate the diffusion of technology into the public and private sectors have been pursued over the past two decades. Yet, SSA still lags behind in reaping the digital dividend of technology. This study looks at the role of Business Innov
Maurus Servius Honoratus var en grammatiker och lärare som levde på 300-talet och in i 400-talet, i övergångstiden mellan antiken och den kristna eran. Hans kommentarer, framför allt till Vergilius’ Aeneid, är mycket kända och detta är det enda manuskript med kommentarer som bevarats helt intakt från denna tid. De har både uppskattats och kritiserats genom århundraden, men ger en god bild av en un
Optiskt stimulerad luminiscens, OSL, är en dateringsmetod som går att tillämpa på geologiska material med en ålder på ca 1 år-200 000 år. Dateringsmetoden grundar sig i att mineralkorn påverkas av naturlig, radioaktiv bakgrundsstrålning och därför ackumulerar energi inom sig, en process som endast sker under mörka/ svala förhållanden. Denna energi kan sedan frigöras genom att mineralkornet utsättsOptically stimulated luminescence, OSL, is a dating method applicable to geological material with an age of ca. 1 year-200 000 years. The dating method is based on the mineral grains reaction to natural, radioactive background radiation, and their ability to accumulate energy within themselves, a process that takes place continuously during dark/cool conditions. This energy may be released by subj
In this thesis, the information loss from the modified Mass-Drop tagging of a Z to qqbar jet is studied for a pp collision at LHC centre-of-mass energies in PYTHIA 8 using FastJet 3. The jet created by the Z has minimum transverse momentum of 200 GeV. This is then searched for subjets via two methods: a Cambridge/Aachen algorithm and a modified Mass-Drop Tagger with different z-cut values. The sub
The literature within Information Systems has approached Green IS from different perspectives and using different theoretical frameworks. The present paper analyzes the corre-lation between the existence of external pressures and Green IS adoption in the case of Swe-dish municipalities. A qualitative research was conducted, with the performance of in-depth interviews with representatives of a 4 Sw
The purpose of this research was to generate new insights of what causes consumers to recognise needs, how they search for information, and how they evaluate the alternatives during the pre-purchase phase of the customer journey. The selected topic is of relevance, as consumer behaviour has gone through significant changes in recent years as a result of developments in everyday technology. To fulf
