In recent years, digital fabrication has become powerful tool for architects to process and implement design and construction. However, in some countries, architects lack sufficient support to achieve their intentions in digital fabrication. Since it needs high degree of cooperation with customized production, but from some precedents, we architects are investigating possible ways to combine digit
Syftet med studien är att undersöka kundlojalitet på lågengagemangsmarknader och därigenom förstå och redogöra för om företag som erbjuder lågengagemangsprodukter kan uppnå sann kundlojalitet utifrån sitt produkt- och serviceerbjudande och i så fall hur de detta kan göras. Denna abduktiva studie är utformad utifrån en kvalitativ ansats med inslag av kvantitativ metod i form av fokusgrupper, observThe purpose of this study is to analyze the customer loyalty that exists in a low-involvement market. The study will enable an understanding for if companies selling low-involvement products can attain true customer loyalty through the product and service offered, and if so, how this can be accomplished. This abductive study is using a qualitative framework with elements of a quantitative method b
Purpose: This research aims to gain an understanding on how consultants in small consultancies, who also hold internal human resource responsibilities, promote their organisation in employee and employer branding. Relevance: Due to the ambiguous consultancy profession and the high potential for individual influences on the corporate brand, branding becomes a very germane topic in our particular r

The aim of this study was to examine how treaters of gambling problems apprehend and work with gambling problems, as well as examine what kind of meaning the gender differences in gambling problems has for the treaters. The study was based on phone interviews with five treaters who all were spread out over Sweden. Some worked in the private sector and some worked in the public sector. The results
This thesis addresses the issue of Information Systems (IS) security in pharmaceutical manufacturing which is closely related to the ISA 99 standard. The ISA 99 'Security for industrial Automation and Control Systems' standard is focused on the work for securing process automation systems from IS security threats. The main thought behind the ISA 99 standard is that a high level of IS secur
Abstract Today large amounts of macadam are being delivered for the production of asphalt. One of the requirements of the material that´s being used is the adhesion. The adhesion is essential for the performance of the coating. It minimizes the risk of stone chips and makes the construction of the pavement stronger etc. Several studies have been made using the Roller bottle method. The results sho
Health Information has a great potential to support decisions in the Health System. Making a decision in Health System (HS) can no longer be seen as a problem owing to technical advancements in computing and telecommunications. This is due to the harnessing of the effective decision-making process in order to leverage information flow. However, how the information flow in Malawi supports decision-
Residential sprinkler systems have been mandatory in newly built Swedish care homes for the elderly and group homes for people with disabilities since 2012. The regulation was introduced on the assumption that sprinklers are a cost-effective life-safety measure for a highly vulnerable population. This thesis re-examines that assumption through a three-part study: (i) a review of international stud
Greywater, which comes from household sources such as showers, laundry, and dishwashing, is typically less polluted than toilet wastewater and can be treated and reused. In Helsingborg, Sweden, the RecoLab collects and treats greywater from Oceanhamnen separately as part of a source-separated wastewater system. However, the system has experienced is-sues with filamentous bacteria overgrowth, raisi
This study presents the development and validation of a new, compact architecture for ultrafast videography using the Frequency Recognition Algorithm for Multiple Exposure (FRAME). Traditional FRAME-systems often have high mechanical complexity, long optical path lengths, and are limited to one-dimensional (1D) informational extraction of refractive index gradients when using Schlieren imaging. Th
Material traceability is an important part of industrial manufacturing, especially in systems where quality, reliability, and documentation requirements are high. In many companies, traceability is often assumed to already exist because there are certificates, ERP systems, production documents, and established routines. However, during this study, it became clear that having information available
This study explored how young Swedish adults aged 20–30 describe and understand experiences of weight-based bullying during their school years, as well as their ways of coping. A qualitative design using semi-structured interviews was employed. The sample consisted of nine young adults with a mean age of 24.7 years, including two males and seven females. All participants had lived with overweight
Background: Itch as the most common symptom in dermatology has been shown to be related to psychological factors such as stress, anxiety and depression. Moreover, associations were found between perceived stigmatization and itch. However, studies investigating the differences between patients with dermatoses with and without itch regarding perceived stress, stigmatization, anxiety and depression a
The Church of Sweden has a long history of social work, and until year 2000 the Church of Sweden was a part of the government. Officially, the divorce between the two has not implied other changes than that each one is now in charge of its own economy. This study was done with a qualitative method in which semi-structured interviews were conducted with three deacons and three social workers. The a
Till följd av en ökad globalisering och avregleringar av de handelshinder som tidigare låg till grund för EU:s marknad, har nya flexibla företagskonstruktioner vuxit fram på arbetsmarknaden. En snabb utveckling inom företagsstrukturer har emellanåt lett till att skyddet för de arbetstagare som omfattas av en verksamhetsöverlåtelse har kommit i skymundan. Det rådande direktivet 2001/23/EG tillsatteAs a consequence to the increased globalization and deregulation of trade restriction which previously ruled within the EU market, new flexible corporate structures have risen within the labour market. The swift development within the corporate structures has occasionally led the rights of the employment to be left in the dark in cases of corporate acquisitions. The reigning directive 2001/23/EG w
When analyzing contaminated soil today, the method used consists of taking five samples from an area of 20 times 20 metres. Then UCLM95 (95 per cent upper confidence level of the mean) is calculated and compared to critical levels. The issue with this specific method becomes evident when the results often come out inaccurate, which leads to an assumption that the soil is not as contaminated as it
Hedersproblematiken är ett uttryck för våld och kränkningar som grundar sig i ett patriarkalt och kollektivistiskt förtryck. Genom en föreställning om skyddet för familjens heder begränsas främst flickors fri- och rättigheter genom normer tätt knutna till föreställningar om flickors sexualitet. Då denna problematik relativt nyligen uppmärksammats i det svenska rättsväsendet brister den offentliga Honor-based violence is a patriarchal and collectivist oppression aimed mostly at girls, whose freedoms are circumscribed in accordance to strict sexual norms to protect the family´s honor. Since this has only relatively recently received the attention of the Swedish judicial system, welfare state institutions are ill equipped to understand these girls´ experiences and needs. One particularly recu
Flooding is a frequent natural hazard globally that is capable of major damage to society. The hazard is especially prevalent in Mozambique, in which many flood events with negative effects have occurred. Disaster risk management and research is therefore important in the country. However, as a developing country, it is subject to data scarcity. Matola is one of the most populous cities in Mozambi
