Attenuation of the microwave signal used in the Global Positioning System (GPS) due to interaction with building structures complicates the task of accurate indoor positioning. For this reason, research on alternative approaches is being performed at universities and companies worldwide. The Global Indoor Navigation (GIN) research project in Lund is one such initiative, where the main goal is to p
Modern software systems often utilize a distributed architecture, which uses the network as the communication channel. This results in the system being dependent on the network performance to behave as expected. The network performance varies, and network faults can occur, which may negatively affect the system. As a system maintainer, it is difficult to know if the problem lies in the service or
Over the last decade, the number of electric vehicles (EVs) on the world's roads has rapidly increased. Optimization of power consumption in electric powertrains will, therefore, lead to reduced energy usage in the road transport sector. EPOS, is a research project that aims to optimize EV powertrains, with the objectives to minimize cost and power consumption. As a part of the EPOS project, t
Bakgrund: Diabetes typ 2 är en långvarig fysisk sjukdom och beskrivs vara en av de ledande dödsorsakerna i världen.

Syfte: Syftet var att via en litteraturstudie beskriva hur patienter med diabetes typ 2 u
En allt mer åldrande befolkning och ett större fokus på att hålla sig frisk har lett till ett ökat intresse för naturbaserade produkter som ger lugnande och hälsofrämjande effekter som lätt kan inkorporeras i människors vardag. En molekyl som är intressant för sådana applikationer är avenantramider (AVN): en havrebaserad förening som har uppvisat antioxidativ kapacitet och anti-klåda, antiinflammaAs populations grow older and more focus is put on feeling and looking healthy, interest has grown in nature-based products providing soothing, replenishing, and health beneficial effects that can easily be incorporated into people’s everyday lives. A compound interesting for such applications is avenanthramides (AVN): an oat-based compound that has been shown to exhibit antioxidant capacity and a
I denna studie intervjuar jag elever som går sitt tredje år på ett estet/musik-program på gymnasiet. Jag vill få en inblick i deras syn på gehörs- och musiklära-undervisning, mer specifikt om de anser att det finns en överrepresentation av klaviaturen i undervisningen. Eleverna ger sin syn på om de anser att undervisningens upplägg funkar för dem personligen, om den gynnar en viss typ av instrumenI will in this research investigate third year high school students view on music theory education, more specific whether the students feel there is an existing overrepresentation of the clavier in the music theory education or not. The students give their view on whether the education works for them, and if they think the lesson structure benefits a specific group of instrumentalists. They also g
The legal rule gross violation of women’s integrity is structured in such a way that it firstly gets it’s content through the application, and secondly it opens up for a subjective assessment which can provide scope for a standard assessment of the woman in a specific case. This study aims to examine, from a legal realist perspective, how the court frames the offence and portrays the female victim
A large part of the greenhouse gas emissions and energy use comes from the construction industry. This thesis addresses some of the environmental and energy challenges the construction industry faces regarding renovating buildings. The examined building is Trelleborg Energi´s headquarters. Programs such as IDA ICE, Espoo, Renobuild and Miljöbyggnad 3.1 have been used to review and obtain results.

The aim of this study is to provide empirical evidence on how the drivers behind SR affect the relationship between MCS and SR. The theoretical framework addresses literature on sustainability reporting and management control systems. We adopted the framework by Malmi and Brown (2008) to define the management control systems. Furthermore, three theoretical perspectives are presented to categorize
This master thesis work was performed in collaboration with BioGaia AB, a Swedish biotech- company producing probiotic supplements containing the bacteria Limosilactobacillus reuteri. The products provided by BioGaia contain live microorganisms. Therefore, a method suitable for the correct enumeration of living cells is crucial in probiotic samples and today the so-called plate count method is use
Då klimatfrågan blir större och viktigare än någonsin är det viktigt att alla olika aktörer tar sitt ansvar och aktivt arbetar för ett bättre klimat. Byggsektorn har ett stort ansvar i denna fråga och något som kan minska utsläppen är just att minska energibehovet i byggnader. Genom att reducera köldbryggorna minskas även andelen energi som behövs för att värma upp en byggnad. Det är dock inte endAs the climate issue becomes more significant and critical than ever, it is essential that all different actors assume their responsibilities and actively work for a better climate. The construction sector has a great responsibility on this issue, and something that can reduce emissions is to reduce energy consumption in buildings. By reducing the thermal bridges, the proportion of energy needed t
To improve the abrasive wear resistant which is governed by a combination of both high hardness and toughness, WC particles were used to reinforce the Hadfield steel. This latter is known with its good work hardening property. WC is mainly considered for its combination of suitable hardness and toughness.
