Lung diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the most common casue of death worldwide, yet the lungs are one of the most difficult parts of the body to examine. Today's technology hinder the diagnosis of the lungs and great difficulties occurs when trying to find the cause of illness. Therefore a large number of people suffer from hidden lung diseases whitout kn

This study aims to get a better understanding of what obstacles and problems organizations face when working with Open Innovation what solutions they then employ.

Tourism images and representations depict women in a stereotypical way where men and women are represented differently. Like much advertising, women in tourism promotional marketing are sexualized and exoticized. Destinations are promoted through the use of the female body. There are racial differences in how women are represented in tourism images where black women are exoticized. A country with

Oat (Avena sativa) is a cereal crop rich in dietary fibre, vitamins, antioxidants and other nutrients. It is considered to have higher nutritional values compared to other cereals (Tosh & Miller, 2016). Arabinoxylan (AX) is a hemicellulose naturally abundant in cereal crops. It is a major component of dietary fibre in crops like wheat, barley, rye, maize, rice and oats (Lu et al., 2000). Stu

Författare: Lovisa Cederstrand & Maja Christiansson Titel: Lagom macho Kandidatuppsats: SOCK10, 15 hp Handledare: David Sausdal Sociologiska institutionen, höstterminen 2021 Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur manliga poliser själva uppfattar och upplever den påstådda bild som samhället har om att polismyndighetens organisationskultur är macho. Samt om någon förändring kan utläsas base

The aim of this thesis is to explore the relationship between organised crime and economic growth in 36 Southern Italian provinces. First, a theoretical framework is used to examine Southern Italian criminal organisations (Mafia) as institutions. Its emergence is explained through historical, cultural and institutional factors. Subsequently, with an empirical analysis the study attempts to find a

This thesis studies the regional development of Germany in the 19th century, examining whether there was an increased tendency toward economic convergence between the German states following the country’s unification. Through a quantitative analysis using real wage data on various German cities and regions covering the period 1850-1889, the study looks for evidence of beta-convergence both before

5G has the potential to enable transformational reductions in carbon emissions across industries. As the technology can assist with decarbonisation efforts, it is essential to understand how one can accelerate the diffusion of sustainable innovations like 5G. This thesis examines what strategies managers at Ericsson are using to influence the socio-technical transition toward more sustainable 5G.

It has been theorised and researched whether masculine generics are perceived as sexist and should be replaced by so-called gender-fair language. Masculine generics are grammatically masculine forms that are used to refer to people generically. This study investigated Swedish-speaking individuals’ attitudes towards the primary generic pronoun man (‘man’), its partial replacement and less common ge

Idag fortsätter vikten av hållbar och effektiv energianvändning att växa. SWEP International AB leder utvecklingen och tillverkningen av lödda plattvärmeväxlare, som erbjuder en av de mest effektiva lösningarna för värme- och kylapplikationer till en bred mängd av olika system och industrier. I deras tillverkningsprocess svetsas bultar fast manuellt på värmeväxlarens yta och ett projekt med mål atToday, the importance of sustainable and effective energy usage is rapidly growing. SWEP International AB leads the manufacturing of brazed plate heat exchangers that offer effective heating and cooling applications used in a wide range of systems and industries. In their manufacturing process, stud bolts are manually welded onto the heat exchanger surface. A project to fully automate this process

For any company with a software development branch, one of the most important aspects is to write maintainable, understandable, high-quality source code. This will result in fewer work hours to refactor the code if changes are needed. Therefore it’s expensive to keep working with source code of poor quality. The question is, how to measure the quality of source code? The writers of this thesis ap

With today’s advancements in camera technology, image-stabilization is a crucial element for capturing sharp and steady images and video. Nowadays, cameras usually have built-in stabilizers that perform well in this task. In some cases, however, an additional stabilizer may be required to achieve optimal results. In such circumstances, electronically controlled gimbals are a popular choice when it

The polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is an energy conversion device that uses hydrogen as fuel to produce electrical energy. The fuel cell is, however, very sensitive toward CO, thus, amounts over 10 ppm will poison the Pt-based anode part of the fuel cell. Preferential oxidation of carbon monoxide (CO-PROX) is considered to be the most efficient way of eliminating CO to such low con

Thesis purpose: to explore what influence consumer-brand relationships may have on consumers’ perceptions of personalized marketing and the personalization-privacy paradox. Methodology: to understand each of the respondents' different perceptions of the thesis’ purpose and research question, a relativist and social constructionist approach were applied. Theoretical perspective: in order to ful

Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy is a technique for identifying molecular structures, compositions etc. and is widely used in many life science research fields. The purpose of this project is to synthesize PDMS microparticles with a magnetic susceptibility matching water, which makes them applicable for use in NMR of biological samples. The microparticles are intended to be used as a chroma

This design researched and explored the new way of solar light use and deploying, on efficiency and usability levels. Recent research has shown that the solar energy has a potential impact on people1, which accounts for one of the most of the available renewable energy on earth. In this research, I decided to look deeply into the appliance of solar light systems, to make solar energy accessible fo
