Problem 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
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) provide a flexible method for acquiring high-resolution imagery with relative simple operation and cost-effectiveness. This technology emerged 30 years ago and it is widely used by commercial, scientific, and military communities due to its versatility. However, new technology brings new challenges. One of them is the radiometric accuracy of the UAV imagery. Radiome
It has been argued that cognitive biases are the source of a range of problems in modern society, from stereotype formation to belief in pseudoscience. One of those biases causes people to perceive causal relationships between unrelated events and is known as illusion of causality. Scientists are pointing to the importance of strategies to debias people on a global scale. However, research on effe
Different material is used today for packaging; all of them have different environmental problems. Depending on your perspective one material might be more beneficial than the other. In this study an energy perspective is used when looking at production of the material, the manufacturing of the package and transport of the package in its lifecycle and recovery processes. The materials studied were
För att kunna bygga miljövänliga hus, med tjock isolering och träregelstomme, är det en förutsättning att husen byggs fuktsäkra. I denna rapport undersöks risken för mögelpåväxt i ett parallelltak beläget i Lund, Stockholm, Borlänge och Luleå. Den del av parallelltaket som uppsatsen fokuserar på är takbalkarna. Studien omfattar en undersökning av om en variabel ångbroms kan användas för att reduce
This essay aims to investigate how the city of Malmö works towards creating an inclusive place branding. By studying theories regarding place branding, with focus on theories concerning the people living and working in the city, the essay aims to answer how these theories can be connected to and used in Malmö’s work. To be able to answer these questions, several documents from both the city of Mal
Dialysis is a life-sustaining treatment for many people around the world. In or- der to meet the high demands on the dialysis machines, replaceable parts must be exchanged in proper time. Condition based maintenance (CBM) bases its service decisions on the actual health status of the component. The goal of this master’s thesis was to develop an algorithm based on machine learning, constituting the
Ethiopia is the second most populated country on the continent of Africa, with a high density of young people. Its economy remains largely based on agriculture, however, in recent years, slow structural change can be seen. Concurrently, youth education has been on the rise. Due to this phenomenon, the educated youth are now trying to match their skills with current employment opportunities. As a c
This thesis project is aimed to answer the questions: What could be done to design areas for making them flood resilient? How can sustainable urban design be adapted to provide flood resilience while transforming an area into a more livable space? Starting with these questions, the past of Hamburg and existing situation have been analyzed, a research has been done about the floods, climate change
Denna uppsats, med rötterna i traditionen av politisk ekonomi, applicerar ideologikritisk metod för att analysera det upplevda förhållandet mellan lokaltidningar och deras ägare. Fokus ligger på hur ägarna utövar kontroll över tidningarna och hur detta, i motsats till autonomi, upplevs av nyhetschefer på den svenska marknaden för lokalpress. Med hjälp av den analytiska uppdelningen av styrning i a
Much of the equipment used in Snoezelen environments today is not interactive, and the equipment that is interactive can be hard for the user to access. By having interactive equipment in Snoezelen environments the user gets to experience and hopefully better understand the concept of cause and effect. The purpose of this master thesis has been to develop an interactive interface that can appeal
Sony Mobile has a quite large internal user group with the purpose of investigating the usability of their mobile devices. The Telephony Domain was using among other techniques usability testing to evaluate the usability of their products. The performed conventional usability testing has its limitations e.g. the controlled test environment cannot fully represent real life setting and it’s very exp
A common approach to treat respiratory diseases is with adhesive powder mixtures. These are dispersed into an aerosol upon inhalation. It has been found that the performance of such mixtures can be improved by adding fine particle lactose, but exactly why is yet to be established. Several theories have been proposed by previous studies, but the fundamental mechanism is still unknown. This study w
An engineering approach to the evaluation of the TCP as a narrowband bearer for short messages in the low latency train-trackside communication scenario is described in this report. The project was developed in cooperation with Bombardier Transportation Sweden AB as a part of the “ETCS over GPRS” venture. With the increase of the demands from the railway industry, the currently used circuit-switc
A grant back obligation refers to the obligation for a licensee to assign or license future developed improvements to a licensor. Grant back clauses affect on competition has been a controversial subject in economic and legal doctrine.
