Manufacturing companies face mounting pressure to reduce inventory levels because of high interest rates, while simultaneously meeting an increase in customer demands for shorter lead times and customizable products, increasing strain on supply chains. The logistics department (SMCL) within Sandvik, the investigated company, operates several warehouses around the world. Their supplier network is b

Resilient backpropagation, Rprop, is a robust and accurate optimization method used in neural network training with batch-learning. As a result of its adaptive step sizes, Rprop requires copious amounts of data at each iteration which slows it down when dealing with large datasets, compared with mini-batch methods. We create and empirically evaluate a version of Rprop, S-Rprop, which can handle mi

This study examines how individual background factors in Italy influence employment quality, focusing on different labour market outcomes, namely income, employment duration, contract type, and part-time work using data from the Survey on Household Income and Wealth (SHIW). Results show that parental education and household wealth impact labour income, with wealth effects diminishing at higher inc

The aviation industry is under increasing pressure to mitigate its environmental impact, particularly concerning greenhouse gas emissions. Traditionally, commercial aviation has relied on conventional kerosene-based fuels. Recent advancements and environmental concerns have prompted the exploration of Sustainable aviation fuels (SAF), with initiatives like the Commercial Aviation Alternative Fuel

Sharenting, där föräldrar delar bilder av sina barn på sina sociala medieplattformar, är ett relativt nytt fenomen i världen av sociala medier, liknande en online version av det traditionella familjefotografiet. Det kan användas som ett passivt sätt att bjuda in geografiskt avlägsna nära och kära till invandrade mödrar och deras barns liv. Den här kandidatuppsatsen fokuserar på sharenting i sambanSharenting, where parents share pictures and videos of their children on their social media platforms, is a relatively new phenomenon in the world of social media, akin to an online version of traditional family photography. Sharenting can be used as a passive way of inviting geographically distant loved ones into the lives of immigrant mothers and their children. This thesis focuses on sharenting

De flesta associerar förmodligen ordet katalysator med bilkatalysatorer där smutsiga avgaser från fordon renas genom att gasen får reagera med syre och därmed bilda mindre skadliga produkter. Så kallade heterogena katalysatorer är ofta metalloxider och de används i många industrier för att möjliggöra kemiska reaktioner. Ett sådant exempel är Formox-processen, där en katalysator bestående av järnmoIn the Formox-process, methanol is converted to formaldehyde via partial oxidation on a heterogeneous iron-molybdate catalyst. To an extent, the formed formaldehyde (FA) is over-oxidized into carbon monoxide (CO) which cannot be recycled into FA. As CO affects the environment negatively and decreases the process economy, internal attempts have previously been made to decrease the CO formation of t

The Cerithium limestone Member (Mb) at Stevns Klint holds an invaluable record in understanding the marine recovery after the K/Pg mass extinction. The Cerithium limestone Mb constitutes a pale yellow limestone including several different microfacies and a large boxwork of Thalassinoides burrows and flint nodules. This paper aims to describe these microfacies in detail and document their vertical

Thesis Purpose: The purpose of this research was to explore the opinion of consumers from Asia and Europe about data privacy concerns while receiving personalised marketing campaigns. We aim to contribute in existing literature on this specific domain for future researchers and companies who want to invest in these unexplored regions. Methodology: This study has used qualitative research methodo

This study aims to analyze the effects of the share of female politicians in parliaments on economic growth. The study examines 180 countries over ten five-years periods between 1972- 2022. Economic growth is used as the dependent variable and is calculated as a five-year GDP per capita growth rate. Additional variables were included in the analysis to control the relationships and avoid omitted v

Research has long been interested in technological development and its effect on human outcomes, but we know little about how automation risk affects occupational and educational choices. I used a pre-registered online experiment with an information treatment containing the automation risk for teachers, economists, office clerks, and registered nurses to investigate how automation risk affects att

Människan har drömt om liv bortanför jorden, även innan upptäckten av den första exoplaneten runt en solliknande stjärna år 1995. Idag, med över 5600 bekräftade exoplaneter, är möjligheterna om liv på en annan planet bortom vår fantasi. Men innan vi ens försöker förstå oss på utomjordiskt liv, så måste vi förstå vad dessa planeter består av. Planeter och deras världsstjärnor är sammankopplade då dExoplanets and their host stars are intrinsically related as they form from the same accretion disc, and are therefore expected to have similar chemical composition. Thus, knowing the composition of exoplanet host stars is important for developing planetary formation and migration theories. There has been a recent uptick in studies of ultra-hot Jupiter atmospheres as their orbital configurations p

Sedan införandet av det kommunala planmonopolet 1947 till följd av den bostadssociala utredningen har planlagstiftningen reformerats flertalet gånger. I förevarande examensarbete studeras den historiska utvecklingen av både det kommunala planmonopolet och dess tillhörande planlagstiftning. Examensarbetet syftar till att studera hur det kommunala planmonopolet kommit att utvecklas och om reformerSince the introduction of the municipal planning monopoly in 1947 following the Housing Social Investigation, the planning legislation has been reformed several times. In this thesis, the historical development of both the municipal planning monopoly and its associated planning legislation is studied. The aim of the thesis is to examine how the municipal planning monopoly has evolved and whether

Uppsatsen har i syfte att belysa skotska lokalbefolkningars upplevelser av kommodifiering i deras närområde till följd av screen tourism, med särskilt fokus på hur detta påverkar deras kulturella identitet. Studien undersöker huruvida kommodifiering och kommersialisering upplevs ha en effekt på autenticiteten av kulturella symboler och ting som blivit varor för turistkonsumtion. Undersökningen gen

This paper discusses the project in which an algorithm was written to dynamically approach federation orchestration. This builds on and is part of the REINDEER project. In an environment with goods and online agents, and in this specific case, Contact Service Points (CSPs) and User Equipments (UEs), where the agents have different applications and make unpredictable changes such as moving around a
