The work includes: • Calculation of the total cost and profitability in the present situation. • Proposal for reducing the manufacturing costs for the ASU. • Suggested improvement for making the assembling more cost efficient. • Proposal for how the p
Uppsatsen behandlar kommunal delegation och speciellt den myndighetsutövning mot enskild som sker på socialrättens område. Framförallt gäller myndighetsutövningen tvångsomhändertaganden och ansökan om tvångsvård enligt LVU. Uppsatsen består av en deskriptiv del där gällande rätt avseende kommunal delegation utreds. Begrepp som behandlas är bland annat ren verkställighet, beslut, lekmannastyrning, This thesis deals with municipal delegation and in particular the excercise of authority over individuals within the field of social law. Said exercise of authority primarily concerns compulsive preventive detention and applications for compulsory care under LVU. The thesis consists of a descriptive part where the applicable law regarding municipal delegation is investigated. Concepts covered incl
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explore how brand managers align their brand identity within online brand communities where the communication is shared in order to create a reinforcing point of contact instead of a source of mixed messages. Problem: With the increasing usage of the internet, brand managers are today forced and challenged to align and re-enforce a brand’s identity online w
Samhället befinner sig i en konstant utveckling med en oavbruten ström av tekniska innovationer. Artificiell Intelligens (AI) har på senare tid blivit en central punkt för diskussion och har väckt betydande intresse inom många sammanhang. Den ökade närvaron av avancerade verktyg, såsom chatboten ChatGPT och andra AI-plattformar, har agerat som katalysator och har främjat omfattande diskussioner omSociety is in constant evolution with a continuous influx of technological innovations. Artificial intelligence (AI) has recently become a focal point of discussion and has sparked significant interest in many contexts. The increased presence of advanced tools, such as the ChatGPT chatbot and other AI platforms, has acted as a catalyst and has stimulated extensive discussions about AI's potent
Purpose: The purpose of this research is to look into different financial planning processes and approaches and see whether gaming behavior is more predominant in one financial planning process or approach over the other as theory suggests. Additionally, the research aims to identify whether performance measures directly tied to financial planning targets are evident and whether this could be the
Stress and mental illness are growing and are the leading causes to sickness and sick relief from work. A lot of the stress is due to psychosocial factors, i.e. how the individual is shaped by and herself shapes the environment (the context she is currently in) through social norms. Norms which are culturally contingent and shaped with the capitalistic system. Capitalism, with its built in need fo
Extending the lifetime of products is seen as a key objective for realising the vision of a Circular Economy. One way to increase the lifespan of products is to enable more repair activities. However, consumers encounter a variety of barriers for repairs, prompting public authorities in Europe and the US to adopt or propose policies in support of consumer repairs. Sweden has recently adopted a cir
Purpose – This study critically examines the claim that blockchain technology (BCT) can create a trustless system in supply chain management (SCM). It explores the nuanced relationship between trust and BCT, offering empirical insights into how trust is shaped when BCT is introduced in sustainability-oriented supply chains. Design/methodology/approach – Adopting a multiple case study approach, the
Background: The palatine tonsils have a pivotal role in immunological detection of airborne and ingested antigens like bacteria and viruses. They have recently been demonstrated to express Toll-like receptors ( TLRs), known to recognize molecular structures on such microbes and activate innate immune responses. Their activation might also provide a link between innate and adaptive immunity. In the
Popular Abstract in Swedish Proteoglykaner (PG), framför allt sådana som bär glykosaminoglykan-sidokedjor av heparansulfat (HS) typ, utgör multifunktionella receptorer på cellytan och i pericellulär matrix hos alla adherenta celler i högre organismer. HS-proteoglykaner är inblandade i många olika cellprocesser, bl.a. koagulation, celltillväxt, och aktivering av enzymer, antienzymer samt bindning t
Extreme value theory is about the distributions of very large or very small values in a time series or stochastic process. This has numerous applications connected with environmental science, civil engineering, materials science and insurance. A rather recent approach for modelling extreme events is the so called peak over threshold (POT) method. The generalised Pareto distribution (GPD) is

Over the past few years, environmental sustainability as a whole has gained significantly more attention globally, and the connection between sustainability and the built environment has been made clear. The built environment is now more widely known to have major implications on both climate change, and resource use. This study draws on a previous study, which identified environmental pressure as
A total of 16 global chemistry transport models and general circulation models have participated in this study; 14 models have been evaluated with regard to their ability to reproduce the near-surface observed number concentration of aerosol particles and cloud condensation nuclei (CCN), as well as derived cloud droplet number concentration (CDNC). Model results for the period 2011-2015 are compar
BACKGROUND: Symptoms from throat (sensation of globus; frequent throat clearing; irritated throat) are common in patients referred to voice clinics and to ENT specialists. The relation to symptoms of voice discomfort is unclear and in some cases patients do not have voice problems at all. Instruments for patients' self-reporting of symptoms, and assessment of handicap, such as the Voice Handicap I
Clean gas turbine combustion research has gained popularity in power generation and propulsion industry in recent days. Present days, advanced efficient emission (NOx, CO and UHC) reduction combustion technologies are acknowledged for using the lean premixed combustion system. To support continuous development of eco-friendly combustion system, a 4th generation dry low NOx prototype downscaled bur
The book provides a thorough legal analysis of the treatment of insurance in the harmonized system of European VAT as compared to the treatment of insurance in the New Zealand and Australian Goods and Services Tax (GST) systems. Insurance constitutes a significant part of the financial services sector, and it is one of the foundations of a modern society and economy. In the design of tax laws, how
Popular Abstract in Swedish Ökad förståelse för hjärtats pumpfunktion är av stort intresse för att kunna förbättra diagnostik, behandling och prognoser för hjärtsjuka patienter. Blodflöde i hjärtat är direkt kopplat till hjärtats form och rörelse och kan därför vara en viktig markör för hjärtats funktion. Därför var målet med denna avhandling att utveckla och förbättra mätningar av blodflöde med hIncreased understanding of the pumping mechanics of the heart are of great importance to develop diagnostics, treatment and prognostics for cardiovascular diseases. Blood flow in the heart is connected to its anatomy and function, and may therefore be a sensitive marker of cardiac health and disease. Therefore, the aim of this thesis is to develop and validate methods for quantification and visual
Aim/hypothesis: Human enteroviral infections are suggested to be associated with type 1 diabetes. However, the mechanism by which enteroviruses can trigger disease remains unknown. The present study aims to investigate the impact of enterovirus on autophagy, a cellular process that regulates beta cell homeostasis, using the clonal beta cell line INS(832/13) and human islet cells as in vitro models
