Driven by technological advances, the vision of a Connected Car finally becomes reality. As one of the Connected Car innovations, Car Infotainment Systems now get an internet connection. Following the example of the mobile industry, app ecosystems are about to emerge in cars. In-Vehicle technology has already become the new differentiation battleground in the automotive industry. Being technologic
In this project I have studied the effect of gas expulsion on the evolution of stellar clusters. What effect the rate of gas removal and the quantity of gas removed has on the evolution on the cluster will be studied through computer simulations with the NBody6 code and compared to analytical predictions. The rate at which gas is removed has a very significant impact on how the cluster evolves

Abstract There are numerous definitions for what well-being means to elderly people. Societal laws and guidelines also create a norm for how wellbeing can be achieved within the care of the elderly. Along with research describing and detailing different perspectives on the well-being of the elderly, we have also interviewed a selection of persons currently receiving elderly care and asked them how
Denna studie undersöker tillståndsprocessen för stora landbaserade vindkraftverk i Sverige. För att bygga en gruppstation med fler än sju vindkraftverk som är högre än 120 meter eller enstaka verk högre än 150 meter krävs tillstånd från Länsstyrelsen. Tillståndsansökningar till Länsstyrelsen kräver att den kommun där vindkraftverken ska placeras ger sin tillstyrkan enligt 16 kap. 4 § i Miljöbalken

Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) has been investigated recently in false memories and specifically in the DRM paradigm. EMDR has been shown to decrease emotionality of the problematic memories in PTSD, but also to decrease false memories. No studies have to date shown how emotion and memory is effected by EMDR in the DRM paradigm when non-emotional wordlists are coupled with a nega
The goal of this investigation is to study the performance of two different aspects of neural network ensembles: one ensemble contains over-trained networks and the other very many members. The over-training of the networks within the first ensemble is achieved with a larger number of hidden neurons than the approximation task in question would require. The result of the investigation is that over
This thesis analyses the impact of social networks on technology adoption among smallholder farmers in Ethiopia. The effects of four types of social networks on adoption of fertilizer and soil conservation practices were estimated using a sample of households from the Ethiopian Rural Household Surveys (ERHS). Trusted kinship links were found to have a small but positive effect on fertilizer adopti
In recent years, decreased meat consumption has been emphasized as important for reducing carbon dioxide emissions. The municipality of Lund is working to reduce its meat consumption by serving vegetarian food once a week in the municipal schools. The results differ between schools, where students in some schools have accepted the vegetarian food while students in other schools have not. The purpo
In this thesis, a qualitative comparative case study has been conducted in five production companies. This has been made to get an understanding of how companies work with Lean and environmental management. Four interviews were conducted and two survey responses were received and there were eight open-ended questions where respondents were relatively free to talk about their experiences. The quest
Projektet har genomförts med hjälp av litteraturstudier. Undersökningarna i litteraturen har byggt på geografisk informationssystem (GIS), digital terrängmodell (DTM), fältundersökning och seismisk reflektion. I projektet har det redogjorts skillnader och likheter mellan forntida och moderna drumliner och ett försök att bestämma hur vanliga drumliner är vid moderna glaciärer. Studien visade att liThe project has been implemented by means of literature studies. The studies in the literature have been based on geographical information systems (GIS), digital terrain model (DTM), field survey and seismic reflection. The project has been outlined the differences and similarities between ancient and modern drumlins and an attempt to determine how common drumlins are at modern glaciers. The study
