Possibilities of Reducing Internal Scrap Rates and Increase Scrap Recyclability of Dilute Copper Alloys from Vertical Upwards Continuous Cast (VUCC) Process

Med det ökande behovet att minska användandet av fossila bränslen så är metaller ett utmärkt alternativ för att elektrifiera samhället. Koppar är en av de viktigaste metallerna på grund av de stora mängder som förekommer naturligt på vår planet. Det är även på grund av dess utmärkta egenskaper. Sedan koppar upptäckes för flera århundraden sedan har användandet fortsatt att öka. Koppar och dess egeCopper and copper alloys are important material systems for the electrification of society. The high workability of the materials makes them appropriate in numerous different applications which require highly conductive properties. One main advantage of Cu and Cu-bearing alloys is the eminent ability to be repeatedly recycled without losing the advantageous properties. This raises the question whe

Embedded ECU dual CPU Emulator

This thesis project implements a virtual environment that emulates an em- bedded Electronic Control Unit (ECU) with a dual CPU in Quick EMUlator (QEMU). Hardware rigs are an expensive and time-consuming bottleneck in the development process. To obtain an edge over rig hardware, we need to execute software verication, which allows us to improve performance without compro- mising hardware. Emulation

Attractiveness of Private Equity & Venture Capital Investments

This paper uses a cross-country study to understand how national culture affects institutional private equity and venture capital investments in Europe, using previous works of Groh, Liechtenstein and Lieser (2010) and Hofstede, Hofstede and Minkov (2011). We argue that national culture might affect capital allocation and that this parameter is often missing in the contemporary discourse on the dr

Improving proactive supply risk management of a large purchasing department

The topic of Supply Risk Management (SRM) has increased in relevance as the need for a resilient supply chain has become more prevalent. There have been numerous articles published throughout the years regarding SRM and Supply Chain Risk Management (SCRM), including articles with case studies of global OEM’s. Company A, a global OEM located in Sweden, has realised that proactive SRM is a topic of

The impact of "loose " restrictions in Sweden during the COVID-19 virus , compared to the neighbouring Scandinavian countries.

Covid-19 is the first type of coronavirus that was characterized as a pandemic, year 2020. The prevention methods to minimize the spread of the corona virus did vary somehow between the countries. Sweden followed a somewhat different strategy for dealing with Covid-19 than its neighbouring countries in the Scandinavian region; Denmark, Finland, and Norway. In this paper, we will compare the outcom

The sources and dynamics of technological change in cassava farming in Ghana

Farm size expansion in some countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, including in Ghana, is a recent phenomenon, and is indicative of the agricultural transformation process taking place in the region. Technology use and adoption level is an integral and complex part of this process, which is studied in relation to the expanding farm sizes and agricultural transformation in this study. It follows an explo

Victoria's Secret: The Way Back?

In 2022 Victoria's Secret had a brand awareness of 85% in the United States, a feat that any marketeer would perceive as great or even amazing. However, while brand awareness was high, revenues had been on a constant decline since 2017, continuing to show signs of uncertainty for the corporation. It is possible that the history of the brand explains where it strayed from the path to success t

Undervisning och bedömning i sång. En kvalitativ intervjustudie om sång i högstadiet i relation till Lgr11 och Lgr22 samt lärares metoder för elever i sångsvårigheter

Studiens syfte är att bidra med kunskap kring musiklärares undervisning och bedömning av sång i årskurs 7–9 i förhållande till den nya läroplanen Lgr22, samt de metoder lärare använder för att hjälpa elever i sångsvårigheter att nå måluppfyllelse och utveckla tilltro till sin förmåga att sjunga; metoder som lärarens uppmuntran, kommunikation och verktyg för tonträffning. Olika perspektiv lyfts fra

The role of word accents in semantic processing in South Swedish

Prosodic cues can aid speech processing by adding semantic information in lexical tones or functional information in intonational tones. Swedish word accents are considered to have stronger grammatical functions than semantic roles, although they are shaped by both lexical and intonational information structure. This has been repeatedly observed by studies using event-related potentials (ERPs), fu

Dränerade våtmarker och deras växthusgasutsläpp - En kartläggning av organogena jordar i Kristianstad kommun

Torrlagda våtmarker släpper ut mer växthusgaser än alla personbilar i Kristianstad kommun. Mer än 70 procent av utsläppen kan undvikas genom att marken läggs under vatten igen. Det visar resultaten från denna studie som har kartlagt dränerade våtmarker i kommunen. Men det finns tydliga intressekonflikter då merparten av utsläppen kommer från jordbruksmark. På nationell nivå är det likadant: uEmissions from drained organic soils is a big contributor to global warming and corresponds to 5% of global and 25% of Sweden’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This study uses a GIS-analysis to map the organic soils in Kristianstad municipality in Sweden and what land use occurs on these soils. The purpose of the study is to provide the municipality with information when investigating the possibi

High tide flooding in near future projections for popular travel destinations

High tide flooding (HTF) is becoming more common in coastal regions of the United States, although this phenomenon remains largely undocumented in published literature from other parts of the world. No matter the emissions scenario over the next decades, sea level rise (SLR) is projected to continue worldwide until at least the end of the 21st century, continually pushing the frequency and severit

Theoretical & Practical Investigation of Algorithmic Trading

This Master’s Thesis was written in collaboration with Handelsbanken Asset Man- agement in Stockholm, through the Faculty of Engineering at Lund University. This paper aims to investigate algoritmic trading on the financial market from a theo- retical and a practical perspective. The theoretical section presents an approach of using sentiment analysis for predicting asset price movements. The algo

Chemoreception of a Two-Dimensional Cell with Multilayer Diffusion

Previously, Berg and Purcell found an expression for the diffusion current of particles into a set of receptors in their paper Physics of Chemoreception. These receptors were assumed to be uniformly distributed on a spherical cell's surface and the receptors where idealized as circular patches. For their model, the particles' diffusion constant was the same for all points outside of the ce

Sympoietiska rum - prototyper för artöverskridande arkitektur

Sympoietiska rum är en undersökande och reflekterande process som utforskar hur sympoiesis kan användas som redskap för att generera mötesplatser mellan olika arter i staden. Projektet har sin utgångspunkt i konceptet sympoiesis, vetenskapshistorikern och vetenskapsteoretikern Donna Haraways teori om samhörigheten mellan olika arter. Jag har använt sympoiesis som teoretisk grund för att spekulera Sympoietic spaces is an investigative and reflective process that explores how sympoiesis can be used as a tool to speculate in multispecies meeting spaces in the city. The project has its starting point in the concept of sympoiesis, science historian and science theorist Donna Haraway’s theory of the interconnected relationships between species. Various questions have driven the work forward and

Digital Front End Algorithms for Sub-Band Full Duplex

Sub-band full duplex is a new communication scheme technology, where a single frequency band is partitioned into sub-bands for downlink (DL) and up-link(UL) transmissions, and both can take place simultaneously. The idea behind the sub-band full duplex development is to improve the throughput, and coverage and reduce the latency of the UL communication by allowing the UL reception during the DL tr

Barefooting: A Tool for Environmental Consciousness

Modern human animals’ relationship with Nature is damaged and damaging. An emotional and physical separation is at play in this broken bond, with footwear literally and metaphorically embodying the disunion between spirit and body. This research explores how North Atlantic populations can use barefooting to support the healing of human animal connection with Nature, leading to pro-environmental be

När barnens trygghet får vika – Om barnfridsbrottets närståenderekvisit

Barnfridsbrottet infördes för att stärka det straffrättsliga skyddet för barn som bevittnar brott mellan närstående. Även om rättsväsendet i och med den nya regleringen har fått verktyg att synliggöra och hjälpa dessa barn, finns en faktor som resulterar i en särbehandling av dem i rättstillämpningen. Denna faktor utgörs av lagrummets närståenderekvisit, som kräver att det utsatta barnet ska vara This thesis presents the new offense that was introduced in order to strengthen the protection of children who witness certain crimes committed between relatives or other persons whom the child can be considered to have an emotional attachment to. Even though the criminalisation has enabled the legal system to identify and assist these children to a greater extent, a factor remains which results i

Undersökning av betydelsefulla faktorer i mötet mellan patient och arbetsterapeut för att främja sexuell hälsa

Bakgrund: Åttiotvå procent av Sveriges befolkning har någon gång under sin livstid avstått från att söka vård för problem kopplade till sin sexuella hälsa. Majoriteten av arbetsterapeuter lyfter inte sexuella hälsoproblem med sina patienter på grund av bristande kunskap, otydliga riktlinjer samt få träningsmöjligheter. Syfte: Syftet var att undersöka faktorer i mötet mellan arbetsterapeut och kliBackground: Eighty two percent of Sweden's population has at some point in their lifetime refrained from seeking care for problems connected to their sexual health. The majority of occupational therapists do not approach sexual health problems with their patients, due to a lack of knowledge, unclear guidelines and few training opportunities. Aim: The aim was to explore factors in the meeting b
