IKEA, a company well known around the world for their furniture, is also keen on using digital solutions to improve the customer experience. One of these solutions is the self-serving kiosk, a 27" touchscreen, that helps the customers find and buy products.

However, the current paradigm of oceans as development spaces has led to an acceleration of competing uses of marine resources causing ecosystem deterioration and human rights abuses that disproportionately affect vulnerable small-scale fisheries. Blue justice movements seek to reconcile env

To go through an amputation is often a very shocking event
This study aimed to determine the protective effects of three main lyoprotectants (sucrose, maltodextrin, GOS) and two sub-lyoprotectants (mono sodium glutamate, sodium ascorbate) and their effectiveness on the survival of probiotics Lactobacillus reuteri after freeze drying and during storage. The objective of the freeze-drying method with the formulation is to enhance the storage stability of La
The increased use of plastics has become an environmental problem where plastics, due to the slow degradation, accumulate in the oceans and landfills. Although plastics are a very cheap and useful material with desirable properties and a wide variety of applications, they are primarily made from petroleum-based resources which are non-renewable and of fossil origin. An alternative to these non-ren

This master thesis project has been performed in cooperation with TAC, a building automation company in Malmö and the Department of Automatic Control at LTH. TAC has experienced problems for some time with their PID controllers. This master thesis has therefore investigated the use of PID control at TAC, the problems with the existing controllers. The thesis also describes a new PID controller tha
The State of Palestine is drafting a new constitution to replace a patchwork of foreign and outdated legislation, and to harmonise national law with dozens of ratified international treaties. Since its 2012 ascension from non-member observer ‘entity’ to non-member observer ‘state’ in the UN, Palestine has signed fifty-five multilateral treaties covering a wide range of areas. All treaties have bee
Homosexuella har i Sverige genom historien ständigt varit utsatta och diskriminerade. Homosexuella handlingar var kriminaliserade från 1608 till 1944 med undantag för införandet av 1734 års lag då den uttryckliga kriminaliseringen togs bort. Sedermera infördes kriminaliseringen åter i 1864 års strafflag. 1944 ersattes kriminaliseringen med en sjukdomsklassificering som varade till 1979. Under andThis paper examines the legislation that concerns the historical development of homosexuals’ rights in Sweden, with emphasis on the debate that led to the gender neutral definition of marriage. Homosexuals have, throughout the history, been exposed to discrimination in various ways. From 1608 until 1734 homosexual acts were outlawed, to be criminalized again in the Criminal law from 1864. In 1944

The aim of this master thesis is to investigate ideas in the Swedish debate about e-books in relation to Litteraturutredningen (2012), with focus on ideas that concern access of e-books within the public library. Access is discussed in relation to Buckland’s (1991) six barriers of access of information and Habermas’s (2003) democratic public sphere, as well as the Swedish Library Act (2013:801). I
This present study is a qualitative examination of government policy regarding Danish, unemployed and uneducated youths. The empirical basis for the study consists of fieldwork, in the form of participant observation and qualitative interviews. The physical field of study consisted of the municipality of Uddannelsesby. Within the study informants, such as the aforementioned youths, but also munici
The aim of the project was to investigate and evaluate different extraction methods for detection of human DNA in environmental crime scene samples containing soil. Soil is a complex and heterogeneous material consisting of several inhibitory compounds, which makes it difficult to extract DNA from such samples. The investigation included the evaluation of 19 different extraction methods based on s
This study investigated the “relationship between tree species composition and phenology extracted from satellite data in Swedish forests”. The proposed method investigated in this study aims at mapping the fractional composition of deciduous/coniferous tree species and also the fractional composition of Norway spruce (Picea abies) and several pine (Pinus sp.). The fractions can then be used to cl
Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to investigate which firm-specific variables can explain the cross-section of expected stock returns in the German market. The tested explanatory variables are market beta, firm size, the book-to-market ratio, the earnings-to-price ratio, leverage, the dividend yield, the cash flow-to-price ratio and sales growth. Furthermore, the thesis also examines the con
Many systems within the IT infrastructure have a Command Line Interface (CLI) for configuration changes. Some of these systems may expose a Configuration Management interface over a web service but this web service usually only exposes a fraction of the configuration possibilities in a CLI. Thus it would be of great help to investigate how a framework for automated CLI discovery can be developed,
A sustainable approach could be a solution for the tourism industry to reduce its climate impact. The aim of this thesis was to develop a sustainable tourism strategy, in collaboration with Swedish region Halland.

The characteristics of Boron Carbide (B4C) coated polyvinyltoluene scintillators with a sputtered B4C coating ranging between 200 and 1000 nm have been studied using a photomultiplier - Lanthanum Bromide detector setup with a PuBe neutron source. The raw data from the detectors was analysed by imposing a detector coincidence condition. The coated scintillators have been compared with a commercial
