The research is aimed at creating a market entry framework to capture the target population in emerging countries, particularly in the group of middle class, in order to

This thesis aimed to develop and create a tool for 3D-artists at Sony Mobile Communications to improve and simplify the work when rendering new materials for their new products. The tool consists of a new product that would capture images for a panorama, where the images would contain a lot of light information, resulting in high dynamic range (HDR) files. This would be done by using the camera of

Both post-colonialism and historical novels are highly topical research themes in today’s literary field, but storytelling as a genre has lost its status. This essay aims to look at the importance of storytelling in the 2014 published novel The Moor’s Account, and how storytelling can be connected to post-colonial rewritings of history. This is achieved through looking at the emphasis on storytell

Batterier finns överallt, t.ex. i mobiltelefoner, bärbara datorer och surfplattor. I och med klimatförändringarna i världen så ökar intresset för miljösmarta bilar som t.ex. elbilar vilket medför att nya användningsområden för batterier skapas. Litiumjonbatterier är en typ av lätta, återuppladdningsbara och energirika batterier som skulle kunna användas för att möta de krav på nya batterier som upLithium-ion batteries are a common type of light-weight, rechargeable batteries. There are safety concerns because these batteries typically use an organic solvent electrolyte which presents fire hazards. By using dry polymer electrolytes, the fire hazards can be eliminated. The single-ion conductor is a type of polymer electrolyte in which the ion-containing group has been covalently bonded with

Purpose: The primary aim of this study is to assess current environmental reporting undertaken by oil and gas companies in Europe with respect to COP 21. Methodology: This study is exploratory in nature. By developing an environmental performance assessment framework incorporating COP 21 requirements and oil and gas industry specific voluntary disclosure guidelines, a qualitative content analysis

I takt med att tillgängligheten ökar på nätet så ökar även behovet av smidiga säkerhetslösningar. Detta examensarbete utforskar möjligheten att tillämpa statistiskt lärande för att upptäcka intrångsförsök.A web server intrusion is when a user gains unauthorized access to resources. This is often accomplished using code injection attacks. Intrusion detection systems today often utilize regular expressions to detect code injection attacks. Some attempts have been made to merge the fields of web security and machine learning. However, they often simply distinguish intrusion attempts from regular reque

The decreasing extent of the Arctic sea ice has opened up new areas in the High North for industrial and commercial activities. These areas contain large reserves of oil and gas, and the region is home to some of the world’s richest fishing grounds. The region is of key strategic importance, and maintaining a Norwegian presence in the Arctic areas is considered to be a national priority. A major r

Agriculture is an essential economic activity which sustains the livelihood of millions of people around the world. Maize is one of the most grown, consumed and traded cereals in the world mostly because of its adaptability to varied environmental conditions. Maize farming depends on climatic factors like temperature, rainfall and radiation to thrive but this also means that it is very susceptible

Today it is common that cities develop their old ports to new vibrant neighborhoods.The combination of a good location and a close contact to the ocean makes the harbor area to an important resource for creating attractive cities around the world. Varberg is a town on the west coast and it has a unique location to the sea. 2013 the Government’s decided that the railroad should go in a tunnel unde

Lunds Civila Ryttarförening, LCR, is one of Sweden’s largest equestrian clubs with its facilities located in between Norra Fäladen to the north and LTH to the south. To the west of the horse facilities is “Smörlyckans Idrottsplats” with football pitches, tennis courts, a Jujutsu club and a Home Guard’s building. The club has approximately 500 weekly riders and offers a wide range of activities wit

Kolloidal nanokristaller är små kristaller (2-20 nm) som bildar till ett ordnat nätverk. Kolloidal nanokristaller kallas också för nanokristall quantum dots (QDs). Cesium bly bromid CsPbBr3 är inorganisk quantum dots med hög stabilitet. Vårt syfte är att bekräfta om CsPbBr3 quantum dots är stabila under olika förhållande. Cesium bly bromid QDs syntetiseras vid 120o och 180oC. För varje serie prepaMonodisperse colloidal quantum dots of fully inorganic cesium lead bromide CsPbBr3 are synthesised at two distinguished temperatures (120 and 180oC) using inexpensive commercial precursors. The stability of these quantum dots is studied under three different conditions by measuring absorption as well as photoluminescence as functions of time. For both kinds of quantum dots, the light affect their

The Resource-Based View (RBV) är teorin som beskriver processer där företag har och utvecklar konkurrensfördelar. I RBV identifierar Dierickx & Cool (1989) att en resurs imiterbarhet villkoras av dess ackumuleringsprocess. Författarna nämner därefter olika förhållanden som försvårar imiterbarheten i en resurs. Två av dessa är Asset Mass Efficiencies och Interconnectedness of Asset Stocks, i deThe Resource-Based View describes processes in which business corporations develop competitive advantages. Dierickx & Cool (1989) identifies the imitability in an asset stock as dependent of the process in which it is accumulated. The authors highlight different situations which aggravates the imitability in an asset stock. Two of these are Asset Mass Efficiencies and Interconnectedness of Ass

En gemensamhetsanläggning är en anläggning som ska tillgodose ett gemensamt behov för de som ingår i den. Det är exempelvis anläggningar för vägar, parkering och lekplatser. Förrättningslantmätaren beslutar vid förrättningen vilket kostnadsansvar varje deltagande fastighet ska bekosta för anläggande, drift och underhåll. Det representeras genom ett andelstal som fastigheten tilldelas. När andelstaAt an ordinance of community facilities in Sweden it is sometimes necessary to consider the difference between the two accommodation arrangements, permanent- or secondary accommodation. The reason for this is to make the costs, for construction, operation and maintenance, financially equal for the participating part-owners. The secondary accommodation usually uses the facility less and should ther

Uruguay is facing a care crisis due to low birth rates, the increase in life expectancy and the inclusion of women in the labor market. Between 2010 and 2012 the official discussions about the creation of a new Integrated National System of Care social policy reform were carried out. In this research, the relationships between the market, the society and the state present in those initial delibera

Geographic information system multi-criteria decision analysis (GIS-MCDA) procedure can combine criterion maps together and associated the criterion weights to acquire an overall value for each spatial location in the research area. Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS), Ordered Weighted averaging (OWA) are three generic algo

Energy efficient wireless devices is a trend that has been on the rise the last few years. Energy efficiency properties may fill a function in wireless sensor networks where the devices could run on coin-cell batteries and still last for years. To make sense of the sensor data collected, there is a requirement of accurate time synchronization in the network. This report focuses on investigating if
