While industrial robots have traditionally been designed for tasks such as pick-and-place that require a high repeatability, an increasing demand for off-line control and high-precision applications have in recent decades put higher demands on the accuracy of robots. One application in that vain is the detection of X-rays that have been scattered from a sample during X-ray diffraction, which produ
Businesses are increasingly attracted to Emerging Markets due to the potential of increased demand for goods and services, driven mostly by macroeconomic trends in the external business environment. However, the business model approach for emerging markets differs from the one for developed markets as they are faced with a different set of demand and supply conditions. The purpose of this study is
The goal of this thesis is to gain knowledge on the psychological reality of some known rules, conditions, and categorizations that have been observed in the phenomenon of Japanese “rendaku” (also known as sequential voicing). The results presented in this thesis are based on a quantitative study that was aimed at native speakers of Japanese. The conducted experiment for this study was designed as
This thesis will examine the topic of gendered language in Japanese and the elements that contribute to making “feminine” and “masculine” speech what they are. This thesis will further try to distinguish the differences that can be found in women’s and men’s speech. The purpose of this thesis is to find out what perceptions exist of men and women who choose to either break or follow what are consi
Child undernutrition is a worldwide problem with dire consequences that compromises the quality of life and economic growth on different scales (individual, household and community). It affects mainly highly vulnerable populations. Maternal characteristics have proven to be key determinants for child nutritional status. Recently, Brazil has been considered to be a role model in how to fight undern
This thesis explores some of the possibilities of demand side optimization in online advertising, specifically how to evaluate and bid optimally in real time bidding. Theory for many types of optimizations is discussed. The thesis evaluates auctions from a game theory and control theory perspective. It also discusses how big data sets can be used in real time, and how agents can explore unknown st
This thesis concerns the evaluation of cost functionals on H2 when designing optimal controllers using finite Youla parameterizations and convex optimization. We propose to compute inner products of stable, strictly proper systems via solving Sylvester equations. The properties of different state space realizations of Laguerre filters, when performing Ritz expansions of the optimal controller are
Förtätning är en stark stadsbyggnadstrend idag. Med förtätning av tätorter kommer behovet av att göra kompromisser, alla stadsbyggnadskvaliteter kan inte rimligen få plats inom samma yta. De allra flesta kommuner har stora visioner och målsättningar om att fler ska gå, cykla eller åka kollektivt inom och ifrån kommunens tätorter, att bostadsbyggandet ska öka enligt särskilda nivåer, att handeln iIn Sweden, if you want to receive a building permit, you need to be able to solve the parking need from the use of the development, within, or close to your property. This is regulated in the “Planning and Building Act (PBA) (2010:900), Plan- och bygglagen”. The law regulations leave room for interpretation as of what the parking need is and how it should be handled more specifically. For this r
There is a shortage of models and analysis methods of fourth generation district heating networks, which are capable of both extracting and depositing heat energy to some thermal network grid. This thesis fills that gap by combining mathematical models of components into a network that is capable of sending heat energy between its nodes. Questions regarding good heating strategies for controlling
Research Problem: Existent literature has predominantly focused on applying the concept of CSR on large corporations, disregarding the role of CSR in startups despite the fact that CSR related aspects especially in relation to sustainability provide a fruitful avenue for new ventures to base their competitive advantage on. Investigation of the link between CSR and startups is needed since emerging
In 2014 Salters et. al. introduced the concept of an UV-emitting wallpaper. By using UVC LEDs, a completely clean ship hull surface can be achieved without polluting the marine environment with biocides, normally associated with antifouling paints. A larger hull surface area could be illuminated by a single LED if the LED light is used efficiently. Exactly how the light exits the wallpaper materia
The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of leprosy at the medieval cemetery if the St Clement church in Helsingborg. The material was excavated during 1958-1962 by Margareta Weidhagen-Hallerdt, however the results from the excavation was not published until 2010. New excavations were performed during the late 1980s and the results from the osteological analysis, which was conducted b
Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur böcker presenteras i tjänster för ljudboksstreaming. Detta genom att fokusera på vad som utgör och vilka element som ingår i ljudbokens förpackning och omslag. Materialet består av 20 ljudbokstitlar på streamingtjänsten Storytel. Dessa har erhållit Stora Ljudbokspriset 2018. Titlarnas enskilda sidor i Storytels mobilapp, eller så kallade detaljsidor, a
This study investigates whether event construal of placement events varies between Mandarin Chinese and German speakers by comparing how native speakers of the respective languages speak and gesture about placement events. It has been argued that there are universal constraints on how languages encode placement events. However, languages arguably differ in their semantic divisions of placement eve
Livsmedelsproduktionen bidrar till klimatförändringarna via utsläpp av koldioxid, men de två växthusgaser som påverkar klimatet mest och uppkommer via köttindustrin är metan och lustgas. Idag står produktionen av kött och mejerier för cirka 15 % de globala utsläppen, vilket är lika mycket som utsläppen från bilar, flygplan, bussar och båtar genererar tillsammans. Livsmedelssektorn inom Sverige ståThis study shows that by choosing plant-based organic food for lunch in the Swedish elementary school, one of the national environmental objectives in Sweden, Reduced climate impact, can benefit and be achieved sooner. Four respondents have been interviewed regarding Lund municipality and its commitment to become 100 % organic by the year 2020 and if the municipality reduces their use of animal pr
Syftet med studien är att undersöka huruvida ett företags storlek påverkar dess innovativa arbete och även hur stor inverkan marknadens mognad har. Rapporten är en kvantitativ tvärsnittsstudie där data i form av omsättning och FoUutgifter från 1065 företag inom EU inhämtats från databasen Eikon. Datan sammanställdes och analyserades sedan med hjälp av SPSS för att visa på eventuella samband. Jos
The changing customers’ behavior nowadays strongly affects the market situation in any type of industries. Markets are demanding a shorter delivery lead time, shorter product life cycle and higher flexibility to fulfill customers’ expectation. In order to fully adapt in this kind of situation and maintain competitiveness in the market, a company need to have better collaboration internally and ext
Background and Research question The company have a complex product portfolio and production facility. Currently, the batch sizes in production are based on experience and is not based on any cost analysis. The central organization have recently put more emphasis on the batch sizes, especially in a context of increasing the efficiency of the packaging lines. The company wishes to investigate
