Background Companies producing premium products with high quality and long product life can experience challenges when trying to penetrate price-sensitive customer segments on emerging markets due to a high product price. One way to achieve growth in these segments is to introduce new innovative business models. From the theory of circular economy, a concept combining sustainable and economi
Background: There is an internal belief within Axis that despite their products’ relatively high initial price, the total cost of ownership (TCO) of an Axis camera solution is lower than that of other brands. However, there is no internal research or tools to verify if it is true. Without this, Axis is unable to communicate their belief in an educated and quantifiable way, which is desired in
This thesis investigates two ways of incorporating GPUs in Modelica. The first by automatically generating GPU code for Modelica functions, and the second by using GPU accelerated external code for a contact handling package. Automatic parallelization of functions is desired, as it can potentially accelerate large simulations significantly. Special patterns of nested for-loops in Modelica code are
Bakgrund Att hela 90 procent av den svenska befolkningen konsumerar mejeriprodukter varje dag visar på hur starkt integrerad denna typ av produkt är i den svenska kulturen. Mejeridisken har dock förändrats mycket under de senaste åren och antalet produktvarianter på marknaden har ökat drastiskt. Den växtbaserade mejerimarknaden räknas som en del av mejerimarknaden och står för cirka en till
Uppsatsen beskriver utmattningssyndrom och arbetsplatsåtergång såsom det upplevs av individen då tidigare forskning saknar ett individperspektiv. Studiens frågeställningar handlar om hur arbetsplatsåtergång upplevs samt vilka faktorer som fungerar bra respektive mindre bra och utifrån den informationen argumenteras för hur det är möjligt att utveckla arbetsplatsåtergången för alla inblandade. StudThe aim of this research is to describe the individual’s experience of exhaustion disorder (burn-out) and return to work. Previous research have shown a lack of perspective on the individual. The research questions are about how return to work is experienced and perceived and the factors that have seemed to work well and less well. From that information a discussion about how to develop the return
Magnetomotoriskt ultraljud är en ny bildgivande teknik som kombinerar vanligt ultraljud med ett pålagt tidsvarierande magnetfält för att åstadkomma en detekterbar rörelse i vävnad. Genom att injicera magnetiska nanopartiklar i området man vill undersöka kan på så sätt viktig information tillgodogöras. Superparamagnetiska järnoxidpartiklar har i drygt ett årtionde varit ett godkänt kontrastmedel fMagnetomotive ultrasound imaging is an imaging technique that utilizes regular ultrasound in combination with an applied time varying magnetic field to induce motion of magnetic nanoparticles injected in the region. This motion can be detected and give valuable information about the particle laden region. Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles have been approved for over a decade for use with
Denna magisteruppsats är baserad på en översättning av fem artiklar på temat "Sentimenti" ("Känslor") hämtade från den italienska tidskriften L'Espresso. I arbetet ingår en översättningsdel och en analysdel.I den senare delen ingår en källtextanalys och en översättningskommentar. Källtextanalysen är utarbetad efter den modell som presenteras i Hellspong & Ledins bok Väg
It’s difficult to establish the correct definition of what constitutes rape and sexual consent, especially since the definitions are different depending on the source. The different guises of rape are many and will be established as a part of the essay. The differences between how adolescents and the judiciary interpret sexual consent, sex and rape will also be stated. Sexual violence is a major p
This report is the written result of a Master Thesis conducted at the Division of Machine Design at the Faculty of Engineering at Lund University. The project has been carried out in collaboration with BorgWarner TorqTransfer Systems (TTS) AB in Landskrona. The car industry is growing vastly and thereby the associated levels of CO2 emissions. Extensive and sharpened regulations are continuously b
A new oxygen barrier film that is made of arabinoxylan has been developed by the company Xylophane. Arabinoxylan is available among other things in wheat bran. But a problem with the method of extracting the arabinoxylan is that after an alkali extraction is ultrafiltration used to remove impurities and the flux during this is quite low. In this project is it investigated if gas sparging with air
The purpose of this thesis is to compare best-selling business literature in China and the US. Snapshots of Amazon.com and Amazon.cn bestseller lists were captured in early 2014, and the 25 highest ranked titles in the designated “business” category on each website form the foundation for comparison. The books mainly touch on Economics & Politics, Management Studies, Productivity & Life Ma
Renewable energy is gaining increasing importance in the generation of power due to the finite existence of fossil fuels and concerns about climate change. As its demand grows financial interest from investors’ increases, thus it is important to find the most effective way of quantifying the risk of the renewable energy market. Furthermore as renewable energy can be viewed as an economic substitut
The complement system can be activated by three different pathways in the body. It is wanted to be able to detect deficiencies of these activation pathways and Bioporto A/S has acquired the commercial rights to a set of ELISA based assays. There is a need in these commercial assays for optimisation of dilution and wash buffers since the idea with the ELISA kit is to sell it as a “ready-to-use kit”
The purpose of this report is to evaluate a direct driven permanent magnet motor in high accuracy position and low speed operation. Actuation in this case is usually accomplished by stepping motors combined with belts and pulleys. High accuracy positioning is considered to be within 0.1 degrees and low speed 0.05 degrees per second, while at the same time have a 180 degree step response within 0.5
Both e-commerce and m-commerce has had and have a big impact on how business today is operated. Furthermore, e-commerce is responsible for creation of many new jobs and its role to the overall economy in Europe is becoming increasingly important. E-commerce is a big part of retail and commerce and is constantly growing. However it is maybe not equally well known that the latest year mobile commerc
This study investigates how lead content and bioavailability in soil affects growth and root/shoot ratio in three commonly cultivated species: wheat (Triticum turgidum), clover (Trifolium) and radish (Raphanus sativus). The study investigates the levels at which soil lead content contribute to toxic effects in plants, and when it may pose a risk to consumers. In addition, lead accumulation and the
Mot bakgrund av rådande kunskapsparadigm inom barnpsykiatrin samt förändringar i samhällets syn på barns psykiska hälsa avsåg studien att undersöka föräldrars syn på orsaker till ADHD och om denna kunde kopplas till behandlingsönskemål. Avsikten var att utröna om det fanns ett behov av behandlingsinsatser som adresserade mer än barnets ADHD-problematik. Studien genomfördes som en enkätstudie (N = Given the paradigms which are currently predominant in child and adolescent psychiatry and the changes in the societal view of children’s psychological health, this study examined parental attitudes towards the causes of ADHD and if these were related to choices of treatment. The aim of the study was to determine whether there was a need for treatment which addressed more than just the ADHD sympto
