The purpose of this paper is to contribute with a new understanding of pop-up stores through a phenomenological perspective by examining how consumers experience pop-up stores. The study also aims to look at a micro and macro perspective to better understand how this phenomenon links to and is shaped by macro level trends of the contemporary consumer culture. Given the purpose and aim of the repor
This report describes the development of a green design camera concept for Axis Communications AB. The problem description for this thesis stated that the concept should be developed by modifying one of Axis current products to achieve a decrease in environmental impact. Also, the Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) of the camera should not be increased and the concept should be able to fulfill the same mec
A company is developing a new product for transporting temperature-sensitive liquids long distances. The new device will have an active cooling unit with very precise temperature regulation. This will increase the transportation time compared to conventional methods. This report will only concern the structural parts of the product, since development of the temperature control system has been done
The main goal of this master thesis project was to take a manually controlled consumer quality quadrocopter and build the foundations which allows it to be autonomously controlled. This was achieved by introducing a exterior frame of reference through the use of a webcam coupled with image analysis algorithms. The position and rotation of the quadrocopter was identified, and several control struct
On July 8, 2013, the United States and the European Union started negotiations for the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP). The TTIP is a proposed international trade and investment agreement (IIA) that aims to create the largest free trade area in the world. Despite the promises of the TTIP, including job opportunities and economic gains of over €100 billion in the EU alone, the
The accession to the European Union was based on the financial gains that could be made on the single market. When acceding the Union the Member States gave up parts of their state sovereignty. This statement is not unproblematic. My thesis touches on the posting of workers. Since the adoption of the new Enforcement Directive on the Posting of Workers Directive, two reports on the Swedish impleme

This Master Thesis describes the mathematical modeling of a Delta-3 robot actuated by motors and drive units developed by ELAU GmbH. A given model of the ELAU GmbH drive unit and motor is used when building the Delta-3 robot model including three drive units, one for each motor to be able to actuate the three upper arms. The Delta-3 robot model is divided into kinematics and dynamics parts. The ki
Ubiquitous empirical evidence suggests that economic agents strive towards but often fail to maximize utility. Yet there is no consensus on how to best model deviations from optimal behaviour. This paper reviews and analyses the foundation of the utility maximization model and proposes a more general framework that is consistent with – but also allows for deviations from – utility maximization. Th
This essay investigates 20 gaming words generally present in the genres of Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games, Real Time Strategy, and First-Person Shooter. From each genre, one game was chosen as a representative for their respective genre, namely Guild Wars 2, StarCraft II, and Quake III Arena. The 20 words were chosen on the basis that they all occur in at least two of the three ga
Technological development and capabilities are driving IT costs up for many manufacturing companies. The importance of having a lean and efficient IT organisation in place is therefore of increasing importance in order to control these costs. This study aims at investigating how large manufacturing companies most effectively can tackle the challenges of a growing pressure on the IT department to d
This thesis is a case study on community-based water management and increased access to water through rainwater harvesting in rural Jordan. It also considers how women gain benefits through rainwater harvesting and their participation in community-based water management. Based on a holistic framework that merges community-based water management and water demand management, we examined Bayoudah vil
In a study it was found that only 16% of IT projects in UK were considered successful (Al-Tameem et al, 2008). Underestimating IT adoption problems when implementing a project has been recognized as one of the reasons for the failures (Fink, 1998). The current research aims to study adoption by students of a new portal implemented in Lund University School of Economics and Management (LUSEM). Qua
In this thesis the role of the European Parliament has been explored and analysed. Four scenarios for European Integration: Europe of States, United States of Europe, Europe of Regions and Europe of Networks developed by Jönsson et al, have been employed as a framework for the analysis. To examine the principle role of the EP in each scenario, in addition to the varying possibilities and challenge
Delirium is a brain dysfunction often occurring in the intensive care unit (ICU); and frequently missed. This study aimed to investigate the compliance of ICU-nurses to a CAM-ICU implementation.Methods: Implementation guidelines in present study stated that a patient presumed to stay on the ICU for more than 24 hours, and who was 18 years or older was to be monitored for delirium using the Confusi

The role of women in post-conflict countries in Africa has always been less prioritised when working for reconciliation. Our aim in this thesis is to compare how the gacacas in Rwanda and TRC´s in South Africa treated the suffering of, and justice for women and what healing processes were put in place to help them. Truth Commissions are a form of reconciliation theory which will be further analyse
An extensive public health literature has linked the low take-up of healthcare services in developing countries with measures of accessibility such as distance, duration and cost of travel to the nearest health facility. However, causality has been difficult to prove, given the endogeneity of factors influencing access, such as the availability and quality of roads and transportation. Using a natu
