Juice homogenization is mostly done to create smaller fiber particles, which reduces the sedimentation velocity to a lower level. So far, fruit juice concentrate is diluted to juice before it is homogenized. The first aim of this research paper is a feasibility study regarding the homogenization of fruit juice concentrate before it is diluted to juice. That would save capacity and energy. Secondl
The use of reliable distance estimates is key to derive accurate three-dimensional velocities of celestial objects. Systematic overestimation and large uncertainties in the distances will thus provide misleading information of an object's kinematics. In turn, astronomers will get a flawed understanding of dynamical properties of substructures in the Milky Way. In this paper, we employ the imp
Today, technology is everywhere in our everyday lives whether it is wanted or not. The world has become digitalized and this development continues for each year that passes. The Swedish government has now (2018) updated the curricula for both kindergarten and elementary school to include more digital aspects in the teaching. With this background, this thesis (project) set out to design a digital a

Fretting is a complex set of mechanical and electrical mechanics that occurs at the contact surface between two vibrating objects. It is widely present in electrical connectors close to combustion engines due to the constant exposure to vibrations. Fretting is an extensive problem in the automotive industry but little research is done. In this thesis, a connector attached to a high pressure fuel p
Data augmentation is a process to create new artificial data by altering the available data set. It has by many been considered a key factor for increasing robustness and performance of image classification tasks using deep learning methods, such as the convolutional neural network. This report aims to investigate the effect of data augmentation for the segmentation of magnetic resonance (MR) imag
Very little is known about the remarkable ability of humans to separate a single sound source from a dense mixture of sound sources in a crowded background, known as the cocktail-party scenario. Better understanding could lead to a breakthrough for the next-generation of hearing aids to have the ability to be cognitively controlled. A key finding in the field is that human cortical activity has be
Syfte: Syftet är att undersöka faktorer till varför företag i Sverige väljer att byta revisorer och även att bidra till tidigare forskning genom att bekräfta eller komplettera tidigare forskningsresultat. Metod: Studiens urval bestod av 94 börsnoterade svenska företag, från Stockholmsbörsens small-, mid- och large cap-listor där 47 hade bytt revisor mellan 2009–2015 och 47 utgjorde kontrollgruppen
Background: Globalization is a phenomenon which has been around since the mid- 19th century, influencing companies to either expand existing markets or entering new markets, to seek new profits. For companies with a global supply chain, the total supply chain cost is a vital factor. It is of high importance to reduce the costs in the supply chain, as lower costs will increase the profit. The case
This master thesis has been carried out to investigate the possibility to predict battery failure of Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries. Assa Abloy use these batteries as a back-up in their door solution systems in case there is a power loss. The main function is to be able to open doors that are part of an emergency exit route. Thus, approximately 200 battery packs were used to collect data re
High data rate is still the most crucial factor in cellular systems, and with 5g approaching new techniques are studied to achieve higher bit rates. Using MIMO technology, the spatial domain was exploited through beamforming and multiplexing multiple users’ data together assured more spectrum efficiency which resulted in higher bit rates. Reciprocity based beamforming is feasible in TDD systems du
Tauopathies belong to a group of neurodegenerative diseases that are characterized by the presence of neurofibrillary tangles in neurons and includes diseases such as Alzheimer´s disease and frontotemporal dementia. Neurofibrillary tangles are insoluble deposits that are composed mainly of tau, which normally acts to stabilize microtubules. In disease, tau forms fibrillar and oligomeric species, w
The objective of this dissertation, "Dress for Success" - A survey of the femininity creations linked to power dressing in the fashion magazine Vogue, is to analyze and compare John T Molloy ́s manual about power dressing to how the concept is represented in 3 different editorials in the fashion magazine Vogue. The analytical method that has been used are a semiotic analysis and intermed
Background: Blockchain technology has during the last years become a hot topic for supply chain management. Solutions are being developed and sold, but exactly what blockchain technology can bring to the supply chain is unclear. The technology can be divided into two main varieties, public and private. The public version sparked the initial interest in the technology but has not been as heavily pr
This thesis is a qualitative study on how the current President of the European Commission, Jean-Claude Juncker, views the on-going project of European integration and how he constructs a ‘European identity’. The sample material consists of his three State of the Union speeches from 2015, 2016 and 2017, where Juncker reflects on events in the past year and presents the European Commission’s coming
In Sweden there are several political goals stating the importance of diminished quantities of waste from the food sector, yet several thousand tons of potentially edible food are being discarded of every year. This study has examined the hindrances and opportunities of six different organizations/initiatives working to lower the rates of food waste from retail stores. It has also looked into pote
Emphasis is being placed on how life narratives can be incorporated into caring for the elderly based on the assumption that aged health care should be grounded on narrative perspectives in order to reduce ageist behaviours. The success of this however depends on the willingness of the elderly to share their stories. The aim of this study was to explore the reasons why Swedish elders decline to sh
The question of guilt, considering the Holocaust, is a complex one. The recent Polish amendment to the law against Holocaust denial forbids, among others, calling the Nazi concentration camps for Polish camps. This makes the question of guilt even more complex. On one side the Germans acknowledge their guilt by, for example, their law against denying the Holocaust. Across the border, the Poles hav
Syftet med studien var att fördjupa förståelsen av hur hotell kan utforma sitt servicelandskap genom tematisering. Syftet var även att förstå hur det fysiska och virtuella servicelandskapet står i relation till varandra. För att besvara syftet valdes tre frågeställningar: Hur kan hotell utforma det fysiska servicelandskapet genom tematisering? Hur kan hotell utforma det virtuella servicelandskapet
