Many product-based companies have identified digital services as a promising way to differentiate themselves and to stimulate future growth. However, as digital services frequently induce a business model change to a pay-per-use or subscription model, companies see themselves increasingly challenged as their revenues are progressively dependent on customers’ actual usage. This is in contrast to th

Efter finanskrisen 2008 och Liborskandalen 2012 har dagens referensräntor ifrågasatts och omdiskuterats. Det har lett till det pågående arbetet världen över med att byta ut de traditionella IBOR-räntorna och ersätta de med nya, transaktionsbaserade referensräntor. Redan år 2021 planerar både England och USA att fasa ut IBOR och övergå till nya, alternativa referensräntor. Det finns stora skillnadeAfter the financial crisis in 2008 and the Libor scandal 2012 today’s reference rates have been questioned and debated. This has led to the ongoing work around the world; replacing the traditional IBOR’s with new, transaction-based reference rates. In 2021, both UK and the US plan to phase out IBOR and move to new, alternative reference rates (ARR). There are major differences between IBOR and the

The phenomenon of empty labour gained considerable attention throughout the past years - mainly through its debate in public media and the introduction of the term by Roland Paulsen. We aim to contribute to the existing literature by adding alternative explanations to this phenomenon, as it is, up until now, mainly presented in a negative light. More specifically, we investigate how organisational

The aftermath of the recent refugee crisis in Europe has been debated to a great extent across the globe. Yet, little statistical analysis has been done to uncover the impacts of refugee inflows on crime and voting behavior. In this paper, two topics on the effects of the refugee crisis are investigated. We ask: How did the recent increase of refugee inflows affect crime rates and voting behavior

Despite ample evidence on the importance of labor market opportunities for women’s bargaining power, the link between public childcare availability and female empowerment has so far been widely overlooked. Using detailed survey data on household dynamics, this paper investigates the impact of the Mexican childcare program Estancias Infantiles para Apoyar a Madres Trabajadoras on women’s decision-m

Abstract Research questions: Which dynamic service innovation capabilities are used in different types of service innovation? How are they used in the different types? And why does their application vary? Methodology: The study has been conducted through investigating multiple cases within a single case company and followed a qualitative research strategy to identify (the application of) dynamic

3D-utrskrivning och topologioptimering kan ses som det perfekta paret där varje part lyfter upp respektives bästa sida, topologioptimering optimerar styrkan mot ett volymvillkor och 3D-utskrivning möjliggör tillverkning. En ny metod presenteras som tar hänsyn till överhäng i 3D-utskrivning för att slippa eventuella stödstrukturer.Topology optimization answers the question "How to place the material within a prescribed design domain in order to obtain the best structural performance? " and the design obtained is usually complex. Additive manufacturing comes with a well known design freedom and the design provided by topology optimization can be manufactured without as many constraints as conventional manufacturing

The observed and expected changes in the environment due to human actions implies risks that future food production will be insufficient. Pre- dicting the impact these changes have on the agricultural system could be beneficial by allowing for proactive mitigating efforts. The prediction of these impacts often involve large computer programs that simulate the behavior of the environment. By implem

This report aims to communicate the process and result of the master’s thesis project that was accomplished at TePe Munhygienprodukter AB, with the title Development of a dental measuring instrument. The project had a timeframe of 18 weeks and consisted to a large extent of generating a foundation for developing a product that allows for simple measuring of interdental spaces. TePe develops denta

The growing world population will demand an increase in agriculture production to sustain the consumption of food and demands for bioenergy. Nevertheless, negative impacts on crop production have been observed due to effects of climate change, which threatens our ability to sustain future demands. Yield reductions due to warmer conditions and more frequent extreme weather events were increasingly

To form a building adapted to the environment and at the same time preserve land, water and other resources in a long term it has to fulfill some requirements. Requirements are set by international and national governing authorities. In order for a regular consumer, property owner or entrepreneur to be guided towards sustainable construction, there are also several environmental certification syst

Pollination av paranötsträd i ett föränderligt skogslandskap Paranötsträdet (Berthollethia excelsa) växer vilt i stora delar av Amazonas regnskog. Paranötter konsumeras globalt och är en viktig inkomstkälla för många småbrukare i Peru, Bolivia och Brasilien. På grund av dess ekonomiska värde är trädet fridlyst i dessa tre länder. Då skogsavverkning ökar till förmån för bland annat gruvdrift och The Brazil nut tree (Bertholletia excelsa) produces Brazil nuts, an economically important non-timber forest product. As land-conversion from forest to field increases throughout the Brazil nut tree’s range, many trees end up being the only remaining mature tree in open fields or in secondary forest. The Brazil nut tree is dependent on a variety of large bees for pollination and fruit set. It is t

Soil microbial communities play an important role in the functioning of soils by degrading soil organic matter and making nutrients ac-cessible to plants. An in-depth knowledge of their structure and pro-cesses are of particular interest to agriculture. Fungi as soil organic matter decomposers draw attention to focus on this particular group of microorganisms. Here we studied the differences of ge

One of the current trends amongst the major software companies is Virtual Personal Assistants (VPA), such as Apple Siri, Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa. This market is growing rapidly, and the assistants are getting smarter and becoming more capable. However, in this kind of rapid expansion it is easy to lose focus on the user, which may lead to the end user discarding the VPA as another softwa

This report describes the development of an encrypted tunnel for the Crazyflie drone made by Bitcraze. This project began with the need for protection while using a Crazyflie drone in a public space. The Crazyflie drone is using open source software and has no protection against hijacking. Any phone able to download the app to control the drone is able to hijack and control the drone. To remedy th
