As the tech industry evolves in a rapidly increasing pace, every other company tries to keep up with the pace of development by adapting advanced systems. Users are getting more and more comfortable with smart objects which are constantly connected with the intention of improving the life of every person. The concept of introducing technology into artifacts has been a focus of the market and diffe
About 90% of all startups fail to become successful, and the most significant reason is due to premature scaling. Limited research has priorly been conducted in the borderland between startups and supply chain. Explicitly on how a startup should go about defining its supply chain objective and how to measure its performance. Nevertheless, the high-tech startup industry sees potential in gaining in
Syftet med detta examensarbete är att utforska hur samtida arkitektur kan påverka och påverkas vid ökad cirkulär resursanvändning. Det kan i sin tur generera nya perspektiv kring dagens resurssystem och hur vi arkitekter kan arbete med det. Projektet konkretiseras genom en återbruksdepå i central Malmö. Tanken är även att den nya återbyggdepån ska fylla ett pedagogiskt syfte för besökarna i hur ma
Trots att det idag är krav på vägledande markeringar finns det i dagsläget lite kunskap om i vilken utsträckning de faktiskt gör nytta. Det är därför av intresse att studera om människor verkligen tittar på dessa i en utrymningssituation. Denna studie undersöker huruvida människor observerar vägledande markeringar där tre olika skylttyper testats för att se om det finns skillnader. De tre skylttyThe use of exit signage is legally regulated even thought there is a lack of knowledge regarding the extent to which they help. It’s therefore of interest to study if people actually look at them in an evacuation situation. This thesis examines whether people observe exit signage, whereas three different sign types are tested to conclude differences. The three tested types were normal, illuminate
During the last few years the Swedish currency has depreciated against the Euro and the US-dollar, despite the Swedish economy growing faster than expected. Disagreement in prior research regarding exchange rate fluctuations among with the situation in Sweden, is the motivation behind this report. This paper examines the factors responsible for the depreciation of the Swedish Krona in 2018, based
The work presented in this report was based upon two different stages, with the aim of coming up with an improved screening process concerning fire spread within PSA at Ringhals Nuclear Power Plant in Sweden. The first phase consisted of creating a methodology for the screening process, which was based on various screening data, such as CDF, fire loads and openings between compartments. Each sprea
Bakgrund: Magnetisk resonanstomografi har blivit allt vanligare när det kommer till diagnostisering av sjukdomar. Det är inte ovanligt att patienter upplever obehag, ångest och oro i samband med MRT. Detta kan leda till att patienterna rör på sig under undersökningen vilket kan leda till rörelseartefakter och sämre bildkvalitet. I röntgensjuksköterskans kompetensbeskrivning står det att röntgensju
Natural events that happen more rarely have historically been more difficult to study and continue to require different methods. For example, rare occurrences of natural disasters and weather events can have return periods of thousands of years but because of their large impact are very important to study. In addition to being used to study the changing climate, climate models have the advantage o
I december 2015 skrev den svenska regering under FN:s Agenda 2030 bestående av 17 hållbarhetsmål med tillhörande 169 delmål. Mål 12, delmål 3 lyder: “Till 2030, halvera det globala matsvinnet per person i butik- och konsumentledet, och minska matsvinnet längs hela livsmedelskedjan, även förlusterna efter skörd.” Att fullt ätbar mat slängs belyser alla tre aspekter av begreppet hållbarhet på ett efIn 2015 the Swedish government signed the UN Agenda 2030 comprising of 17 Sustainable Development Goals and a total of 169 sub targets. Goal 12 target 3 reads as follows: “By 2030, halve per capita global food waste at the retail and consumer levels and reduce food losses along production and supply chains, including post-harvest losses.” Wasting eatable food effectively highlights all three param
Measurements of heart rate without contact can be of much importance when the possibilities of skin contact for different reasons are limited, or for monitoring at distance over time. This is an emerging area in our time, and the idea to construct a working system to demonstrate the technique was therefore born. The work has been performed at the Department of Biomedical Engineering at LTH. The m
Continuous Delivery (CD) has today become an essential part of software development for a reliable and automated quality assurance process. However, the challenge of introducing CD starts with setting up a CD pipeline and providing the necessary infrastructure for it, which may take a considerable amount of time and require expertise knowledge. This complex and costly implementation will also requ
This thesis investigates the use of artificial neural networks for classifying Raman spectra of partially degraded cellulose samples by fungal species. A multilayer perceptron configuration of 4 hidden layers and 128 hidden nodes was able to classify a set of 60 samples with an overall prediction accuracy of 0.55. Results show that data resolution is an important factor when optimizing classifier
An ongoing trend the last couple of years has been the intense reporting of an increased amount of deliberate vehicle fires in Sweden. As the overall assumption in society is that the number of deliberate vehicle fires is steadily increasing, a statistic model trying to investigate this was made. In 1998, the share of deliberate car fires were estimated to 12%, the same number in 2015 was 38%, ind
The liver oil from C. monstrosa (rat fish) has traditionally been used as a natural remedy in the area around Skagerrak, since it is believed to have a wound healing and analgesic effects. On its back the rat fish carries a vigorous venom spine connected to glandular cells, which secrets toxins. A previous study shows that extract from the liver and venom glands had a cytotoxic activity on A. naup
Today's blockchain applications have been inherently created by and for users who understand the blockchain technology. To improve mass adoption of blockchain solutions, the user experience must improve, and the attention must move to users not familiar with the underlying technology. This dissertation starts with reviewing the main concepts of blockchain technology and examining the UX of dif
I mitt yrkesliv har jag varit verksam i ett antal olika organisationer inom samma bransch, både som anställd och på mellanchefsnivå. Det har fått mig att fundera på dels hur företag som till synes är ganska lika med samma verksamhet och målsättning ändå kan vara så olika? I denna uppsats tar jag utgångspunkt i hur det är att vara mellanchef. Att vara mellanchef innebär att vara den person som befi
Motivation and identity have been vastly investigated within second language acquisition (SLA). These issues are restrained by their complex and dynamic natures, which indicate that they are far from easy to research. The purpose of this essay was to continue traditional areas of research in order to add to empirical knowledge. The attempt was to show that systematic research is necessary in order
Det här examensarbetet har till avsikt att fördjupa och aktualisera kunskapen om vilka skolvägsutredningsmetoder som är bäst lämpade för att klarlägga en förbättrad trafikmiljö för barn. Arbetet består av två huvuddelar: den ena är en litteraturstudie som granskar tidigare kunskap inom området kring skolvägsutredningar och den andra delen består av skolvägsutredning via en digital respektive tradi
