Problembeskrivning: Lager och lagerhållningsprocesser ses ofta som några av de viktigaste delarna i ett företags värdekedja, så dessa delar kan stå för över 20 procent av företagets totala logistikkostnader. Storleken på dessa kostnader, och även många andra kostnader relaterade till lagerföring, är huvudsakligen en konsekvens av de beslut som togs när lagren designades. Lagerdesign bör därför sesProblem description: Warehouses and warehousing operations are often considered as some of the most crucial elements in a company's supply chain, and often stand for more than 20 percent of a company’s total logistics costs. The actual size of these costs are, together with most of the costs related to warehouse operations, mainly consequences of the decisions made when designing the warehouse

This project aims to determine the characteristics of a wireless communication channel in city-street-canyon scenarios. The channel of a typical city intersection is modeled with a ray tracer and measured with a channel sounder. Then, the results of both tools are compared in terms of the local scattering function. The channel sounder utilized for the project was initially developed by Rui Wang et

The study is divided in two theoretical perspective where both previous research about organisational culture and organisational change are discussed and how the two are connected. The empirical data is based upon ten int

This thesis discusses the landscape changes of Helsingborg municipality in Scania, southern Sweden. The aim of this thesis is to compare the occurrence of wetlands in the early 1800’s with the contemporary occurrence. The findings will be presented from three angles: the total wetland area, presence of different wetland types, and spatial distribution of the wetlands. To assess this change over ti

Undersökning av två ytmarkörers uttryck i mantelcellslymfomceller öppnar möjligheter för målinriktad cancerbehandling. Proteinerna CD44 och CD69 tillverkas i högre utsträckning i en minoritet av cancercellerna i mantelcellslymfom. Dessa cancerceller är kända för att vara svårbehandlade och tros ligga bakom den höga andel återfall som är förknippad med sjukdomen. Genom att undersöka dessa proteineThe B-cell lymphoma (BCL) subtype, mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a lymphoid malignancy associated with high risk of relapses and an overall poor prognosis. The relapses are believed to be the result of a treatment resistant sub-population harbouring stem cell like properties. One way to isolate and identify such cells is through analysis of the side population (SP) by staining with Hoechst 33342.

Gender equality and empowerment of women and girls were presented at the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG5) by the United Nations. It has been realized that empowerment of women plays a crucial role in development. This study examines the empowerment process of rural migrant women in China. It first describes the registration house system called hukou and general gender roles in China. This rese

NDVI(Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) was introduced in 1974. Despite its limitations, it has been under use for monitoring bio-physical and cultural landscapes from satellite. The present study employed MODIS based NDVI to examine trends of greenness and its link with LULC (land use/land cover) change and rainfall in Addis Ababa and its surrounding (covering 1,217 sq km) over a period of 1

Idag når vi i Sverige inte upp till miljömålet ”Grundvatten av god kvalitet”, en av orsakerna är bristande grundvattenkunskaper i samhället. Kontrollen av föroreningar är otillräcklig och det har under den senaste tiden uppmärksammats att vi har brist på vatten i stora delar av landet. På Revingehed ca 2 mil öster om Lund finns en provpumpningsanläggning som används för utbildning av framtida grunSweden do not meet the environmental objective "Good quality groundwater", one of the reasons is the poor general understanding of groundwater. The control of pollutions is insufficient and it has recently been noted that the storage of water in large areas of the country is inadequate. At Revingehed about 2 kilometers east of Lund, there are several pump wells that is used for education

According to the United Nations, half of humanity now lives in cities. In recent years, many countries have seen a rise in the number of and intensity of heavy rainfall events due to the effects of climate change. The consequences of urban flooding in such a context can vary between just causing mild discomfort to tremendous devastation. Building cities that can resist flood is quickly becoming an

Samhällets minoritetsgrupper har historiskt sett varit utsatta för misskreditering och diskriminering av olika slag. I denna uppsats har speciellt fokus lagts på den minoritetsgrupp som utgörs av de tusentals afghanska ungdomar som sökt eller söker asyl i Sverige. Syftet med uppsatsen har varit att studera hur individer i denna grupp upplever och hanterar stigma i sin vardag. Det empiriska underla

I takt med att miljö och hållbarhet blir alltmer prioriterade frågor för samhället kommer marknaden för biobränslen och energi producerad från biobränslen öka. Genom ökad konkurrens bland energiproducenter skapas ett större krav på lagerhantering som är en grundläggande kompetens för företag. Lager och lagerhanteringen har direkt påverkan på resultatet och därmed hur konkurrenskraftigt företaget ä
