Digital platforms is an innovation made possible by the adoption of computers and internet. Companies like Google and Facebook grew in relatively short time to the most valuable or-ganisations on the stock market. The success of these companies is partially possible by their characteristics of being a digital platforms. One of the success factors is the use open APIs, which makes that other partie
The broader goal of this project was to investigate what kind of effects the accumulation of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) in the marine environment might have on the microbial world. Bacteria were isolated from biofilms fouling PHA pellets placed in the sediment-water interface; the goal was to isolate PHA degraders that were also sulphate reducers. Eleven strains were isolated and for three of the
The objective of this thesis was to contribute to the limited research that has been carried out concerning maxillary sinusitis in medieval Scania. The aspiration was to do an inclusive comparative osteological analysis of three skeletal materials and investigate whether there is a difference in prevalence among rural and urban individuals as well as between sex, age and if an aeitology was visibl
Genom att utföra en bibliografisk formanalys av de elva svenska utgåvorna av Oliver Goldsmiths roman The Vicar of Wakefield, publicerade mellan 1782 och 1970, har jag undersökt det grafiska uttrycket och jämfört det med den svenska typografins utveckling under samma tid. Centralt i uppsatsen är att bokens materialitet spelar roll för hur texten uppfattas, att formen i sig är medskapande i verkets
It is known that consumption of high fat diet may lead to gut dysbiosis and increase intestinal permeability by altering gut microbiota composition. However, metabolites from dietary fiber fermentation, short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) may prevent these changes. SCFAs are of great importance in maintaining colonic integrity, and exerting anti-inflammatory function as signaling molecules. The presen
Syftet med detta examensarbete är att utveckla en parametrisk finita elementmodell som ska kunna analysera vibrationsrisken i en godtycklig ståltrappa. Modellen ska kunna användas tidigt i projekteringsskedet för att identifiera trappor som har en utformning som kan ge problem med höga vibrationsnivåer. En parameterstudie kommer att genomföras för att ta reda på vad som påverkar trappans dynamiska
Title: Shipment Consolidation Policy Project. A case study at the Integrated Logistics Product Area at the Case Company. Authors: Carl Tornerhjelm, Tom Wachtmeister. Supervisor: Peter Berling, the Division of Production Management. Background: Larger corporations that distribute products and goods globally face both internal and external demands from stakeholders. High service levels call for freq
Pan-Africanism is a diverse philosophy and political ideology that has conflicting views about how unity among Africans can be achieved economically and within a single political system. Some versions of Pan-Africanism support market capitalism and other theorists take the position that the collective ownership of capital and resources is essential for creating a national unity. The Agenda 2063 is
The aim of this study was to examine former foster childrens’ personal portraits about their upbringing in foster care. Focus have been on relational and emotional aspects of the foster care placement and how the examined people of this study cope with their surroundings. I have used a qualitative content analysis on four different autobiographies in order to answer the questions of this study. T
This study aims to investigate why the US and Sweden's welfare states differ to the extent that they do today. The essay has used a comparative analysis between the US and Sweden's political tools and conditions over the years to examine why welfare has developed different pronunciations with each other. Sweden is today one of the most used welfare states in the world while the US is the d
The original human form. Neutrality. Adam, created from dust, become his own, and Eve, created from one of Adam’s ribs, and ad-on to the original human. Or so the creation myth states, in cultures based on Abrahamic religions. Masculinity is a social construction, shaped by history and traditions, and varying across different cultures and time periods. Just like femininity masculinity h
This thesis investigates to what extent Swedish students of Japanese can understand wasei-eigo, as well as their thoughts and attitudes toward it. It further investigates if some word categories are more incomprehensible than others and what aspects can determine their comprehension. The survey consisted of a questionnaire with 30 words, divided into 4 different categories, which the participants
Preservation of digital records is still very much an open issue within large parts of the Swedish public sector. An ongoing work of coordinating the digital preservation in the public sector is carried out by the Swedish National Archives, but, as of yet, the results are limited, and much remains to be done. The issue of digital preservation is also inherently one that will require a lot of diffe
Abstract Title Inventory management in a customer landscape with diverse requirements on flexibility - A case study at Atria Sweden AB. Course Degree Project in Production Management – MIOM01. Authors Annika Fredriksson and Andreas Pettersson. Supervisor Johan Marklund. Background and Research Question Atria Sweden AB manufactures meat products towards both the Swedish and Danish markets. As a re
The aim of this project was to construct a measurement setup to be able to measure the decoherence time of optical phonons. Optical phonons lose coherence by decaying to intermediate phonons and eventually to acoustic phonons which can carry heat, which is why measuring the coherence time of optical phonons is important to characterizing heat flow on short time scales. Ultrashort laser pulses wer
Since the financial crisis of 2007-2008, unconventional monetary policy methods have been widely used by central banks around the world. In 2015, Sweden initiated a program of quantitative easing with the aim of regaining economic stability. The purpose of this essay is to study how Sweden’s monetary policy with quantitative easing, has effected Swedish government bonds. Using an event study, this
The aim of this project was to investigate the effect of fermentation on physicochemical and rheological properties of a plant-based beverage. The starter cultures used for the inoculation of the plant-based beverage were LAB1, LAB2 as well as LAB3. Samples were taken from the inoculated mixtures as well as the control before and after fermentation to measure pH, moisture content, ash, lipid, colo
This study is set to provide quantitative evidence on the effect of China’s growing economic presence on democracy in Africa, with a special focus on the role of trade and FDI, because most of the literature has focused on the role of aid, even though the increase in trade and FDI has been much more prominent in the 2000s. On the basis of a quantitative cross-country analysis, the study attempts t
The refugee crisis in 2015 challenged Sweden’s asylum policy. The high number of refugees put pressure on the Migration Agency to register all asylum applica-tions and for municipalities to provide them with ontological security in terms of housing, education, and healthcare. The discourse in parliamentary debates and newspaper articles was on internal security, the ability to provide housing, edu
Gaming as a Service is not defined in existing research. The lack of a formal definition leads to an ambiguity between its function as a business model and the long-term strategy of the firm. The purpose and aim of this study is to investigate the definition of GaaS business model, distinguishing its function from the strategy. Furthermore, the key components of the model are established based on
