Optical cavities should be designed to be insensitive to vibration in all directions. The study of the behavior of the material used to develop an optical cavity is vital for the cavity to be insensitive in all orders. In this project, we are using Abaqus to generate a FE model of an optical cavity and its mountings via support points in order to investigate the effects of vibration in different d

The need for adapting business models to sustainable business models is revolutionizing many industries where business as usual stops being an option from a social or environmental perspective. The adoption of sustainable business models occurs in both developed and developing markets however, due to the nature of the two environments being notably different, it is expected that the sustainable bu

Svenska regeringens syn på nedskräpning och engångsplast är att det är ett stort problem, både på land och i hav med ständigt ökande konsekvenser och miljöutmaningar. I Sverige har det på flera håll genomförts försök att belysa problemet vad det gäller nedskräpning. Naturvårdsverket är en organisation som gav uppdrag för en skräpmätning 2020 till Håll Sverige Rent som gäller 75 kommuners centraloThe Swedish government's view of litter and disposable plastic is that litter is a major problem, both on land and at sea, with ever-increasing consequences and environmental challenges. In Sweden, attempts have been made in several places to shed light on the problem of littering. Naturvårdsverket is an organization that commissioned a waste survey in 2020 for Håll Sverige Rent, which applies

Måltidsplanering för storkök, så som skolor och äldreboenden, är en mödosam och tidsödande process. Då det finns många olika villkor och restriktioner som måste beaktas i planeringen, dessa kommer i form av en budget, näringsinnehåll, tillgängliga resurser för tillagning och förvaring etc. Detta leder ofta till en slumpartad "prova sig fram"-teknik när en ny matsedel ska skapas. Likväl fTraditional meal planning for large kitchens is a laborious and complex affair with multiple external constraints imposed on the meal plan, such as a healthy nutrition profile and a low environmental impact, which should be fulfilled while being under budget. This is a tough task for humans but by modelling the process with a Markov Decision Process and using Reinforcement Learning an agent can be

This master’s thesis is about the role of the civil society in contemporary Sweden, during a crisis of solidarity and care. The crisis of solidarity refers to the so-called “refugee crisis” of 2015, and the events following after. The crisis of care refers to a crisis of social reproduction that is inherent to the capitalist system. Swedish welfare politics have gone through a process of changing

Galectin-3 is a protein that is involved in many physiological processes such as metastasis, T-cell regulation etc. which makes it a good drug target for the medicinal chemist. In a paper made by Doak ete al (2015) macrocyclization emerged as an interesting strategy for new drug design as macrocycles remained orally active in chemical space previously thought of as “unsuitable” as per the classica

Plastic pollution is a cross-national environmental and societal challenge that needs to be addressed from the point of view of global supply chains. The circular economy (CE) has emerged as an alternative paradigm to the traditional “take-make-waste” models of production and consumption to create a closed-loop system so that plastic is trapped in the economy and not in the environment. This resea

To do so, mature manufacturing companies need to know which consequences they will experience to their offer, business model, resources and capabili

Obesity rates have been increasing at an alarming pace across the globe however, little has been done to address the issue even in high income countries. To further problematize this issue, many researchers and public health officials have conceptualized obesity as being individually based, rather than analyzing it from a structural perspective. This challenge will be extended to developing countr

This thesis thesis explores what desires and motivations lay behind employees’ succession to managerial positions in a store environment. Previous research focuses on how to develop good leaders, rather than how to make people want to become leaders, which is why this is an important topic. The method used is a qualitative case study at IKEA in Sweden, where a combination of qualitative questionna

Drilling is an essential hole-making operation in the modern industrial world. Drilling operation is comparatively challenging in composites when compared to metals. Composites are heterogeneous and possess a high strength-to-weight ratio which makes it a challenge in composite drilling. The hole quality has two major defects affecting the reliability of CFRP composites: Uncut fibers and Delaminat
