Denna studie syftar till att utveckla ett analysverktyg för företag som överväger en reshoringstrategi. Trenden att återflytta produktion till ursprungslandet är ny, men växande och ett tomrum av teoretisk vägledning har funnits. Arbetet är av främst kvalitativ karaktär med fallstudier av svenska industriföretag som återflyttat verksamhet. Forskningsdesign kan liknas vid pattern matching (Yin, 201This study aims to develop a framework for companies who are considering a reshoring strategy. The trend of bringing manufacturing back to the home country is new and lacks theoretical guidance. The study is mainly of qualitative character with case studies of Swedish industrial companies. The study design resembles pattern matching (Yin, 2013), where a potential pattern has been explored. The the

Utvärdering av smooth pursuit-rörelser. En jämförelse mellan ögonrörelser och rörliga objekt i videosekvenser Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning av examensarbetet: Andrea Åkerström Ett forskningsområde som har vuxit mycket de senaste åren är ”eye tracking”: en teknik för att undersöka ögonrörelser. Tekniken har visat sig intressant för studier inom exempelvis visuella system, i psykologi och i intWhen viewing moving objects in videos the movement of the eyes is called smooth pursuit. For evaluating the relationship of eye tracking data to the moving objects, the objects in the videos need to be detected and tracked. In the first part of this thesis, a method for detecting and tracking of moving objects in videos is developed. The method mainly consists of a modified version of the Gaussian
