Abstract Responsive web design is the technique lot of companies apply to their website today. The reason is, that with this technique the website’s content adapts nicely on all devices from mobile phones to desktops. IKEA recently followed this trend on some of their platforms and among these is their internal communication platform called IKEA Inside Outside. IKEA is not entirely satisfied in

The essay aims to highlight the importance of having an intersectional perspective in historical museums in Sweden, with a special focus on Kvinnohistoriska Museet in Umeå. The idea of this paper has been to highlight some of the different theories that leads to an intersectional perspective and secondly to argue that this perspective is of importance and should be a part of the national guideline

In this master's thesis a model of algorithmic trading is constructed. The model aims to create an optimal investment portfolio consisting of a risk-free asset and a risky asset. The risky asset is in the form of a stock generated using regime-switching parameters with a Markov chain explaining the state of the economy. The optimization of the portfolio is carried out under certain assumptions

The CFD-program Fire Dynamics Simulator 5, FDS5, can model flame spread. This report studies if flame spread modeling can be used for creating a design fire when using performance-based fire safety design of a building. From cone calorimeter data the computer program Gpyro was used to determine input parameters for FDS5 for five different wood materials. The input parameters were then evaluated in

Elevators has for a long period of time been regarded as unsafe to use as a means of egress. This is an opinion that has shifted in the last couple of years as technical solutions has been found to the initial problems when using elevators as an escape route. This report investigates the possibility to replace a staircase with emergency elevators as a means of egress in a buildning. The report als

Likt andra komplexa, flercelliga organismer, består den mänskliga kroppen av en mängd olika organ ämnade för olika uppgifter. För att kunna utföra dessa uppgifter är organen uppbyggda av olika sorters celler, med speciell funktion och struktur. Trots de stora skillnaderna mellan dessa celltyper delar de samma genetiska ritning, organismens genom. Genomet är indelat i olika gener, vilka beskriverMaintenance of stem cell pluripotency and the differentiation of stem cells into specialised cells has been studied extensively. More recently, the possibility for a specialised cell to be transferred into a state of induced pluripotency has been demonstrated and investigated. Critical components of the gene regulatory networks governing these processes have been identified, but a complete model h

Dagens värld omgiver oss av teknik, och nya tekniska ord och benämningar tillkommer jämt. Främst bland dessa förekommer ordet ”Cloud” som är något de flesta använt, men kanske inte riktigt känner till. Arbetet föreslår en kombinatorisk modell för optimering av resursanvändning i Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) Cloud system.Today’s markets are heavily concentrated on Cloud Computing, where trends project an increasing amount of services living therein. Because these data centers, named Clouds, provide ability to dynamically scale the resources assigned to a service. It is a technology which allows products to remain competitive in a constantly changing market. Consumers profit from this solution, as it is much easier

Today we live in a society that largely is based on objects, but in a world that more and more rely on objects it seems like the interest in the acquisition of objects from our own time decreases in museums. This master’s thesis investigates how contemporary life is represented in museums in policy documents and acquired objects. Through ideology critique and content analysis of the Nordic museums

I denna uppsats har jag utrett vilka kriterier som uppställs för att fastställa inre väpnad konflikt i svensk rätt. Jag undersöker också hur kriterierna fastställs även i EU-rätten och i den internationella humanitära folkrätten gällande inre väpnad konflikt då båda dessa områden starkt påverkar den inhemska tillämpningen av begreppet. Genom att undersöka framförallt Diakité-domen har jag konstateIn this thesis I have examined with which criteria internal armed conflict is established within Swedish law. I have also examined the EU-law and the international humanitarian law and which criteria is laid down to understand the Swedish law which is strongly influenced by these lawsystems. By examining especially the Diakité case I´ve found that Swedish case law differs from EU case law and the

Människans intresse för rymden har alltid varit stort. Man har antagit att andra planetsystem, om de existerar, ser ut som vårt: med mindre stenplaneter i banor närmast stjärnan och gas-samt isjättar i de yttre banorna. Idag känner man till drygt 2 000 exoplaneter, d.v.s., planeter som kretsar kring andra stjärnor än solen. Man vet även att vissa av dem saknar motsvarighet i solsystemet, t. ex., hOver the past two decades many discoveries of exoplanets have been made, which have drawn much attention to extrasolar planetary systems. In this work we study the composition of these systems and search for analogues of the Solar System. We considered the planets in the database at exoplanet.eu. The search of solar-like systems required these planets to be classified. The classification was perf

This report is a cost benefit analysis of a proposal for new sprinkler installation guidelines for ro-ro deck. It is a relative comparison between the present guidelines and a new proposal developed by SP Technical Research Institute of Sweden. The results and conclusions in this report are based on; data gathered from multiple water sprinkler tests, other relevant literature, experts’ judgment an

This essay examines how eight identified negative effects influence the perceived motivation and performance of employees as a result of the current efficacious monetary incentive system. Through a multiple case study based on a qualitative research method, eight semi-structured were conducted. Afterwards the interviews were compiled in a database and analyzed. Both an inductive and deductive ap

Klassificering av pennor av olika material till touch-skärm Genom att koppla en kontaktmikrofon till en touchskärm och undersöka de vibrationsmönster som uppstår då olika objekt rör vid skärmen har en dator tränats till att känna igen olika typer av material. Om en filt och en träpenna användes kunde datorn känna skillnad på vilket material som användes i mer än 99,5% av fallen. Resultatet av proIn this report, a potential improvement of an optical touch screen solution by means of acoustic sensing is presented. The goal is to utilize the different vibration patterns that arise when different materials touch the screen to be able to identify them. This identification of different materials opens up new opportunities to give input to the touch-device which could potentially replace menu ba

Sydvatten AB is a municipally owned company producing and supplying drinking water to about 900,000 inhabitants in southern Sweden through two water treatment plants (WTP), Ringsjöverket and Vombverket. At Vombverket, the present capacity is somewhat reduced because of pressure losses in the pipe systems of the WTP. Parts of the WTP was built already in the 1950’s and it was significantly expande

This experimental study was conducted in an upper secondary school in the south of Sweden.

About 80% of all Swedish social workers are women, which makes male social workers a minority in the Swedish social workers labour force. Research shows that men in women dominated professions get benefits in relation to women. One of the benefits that men possess is that they become more sought after in the women dominated labour market. Our purpose with this study was to examine how male social
