Maintaining the core value of high quality is challenging with ever-increasing volumes and a high rate of new product introductions. To find and resolve issues with new products, and ensure a smooth tra

Systematiska våldtäkter av kvinnor i krigstider är inget nytt problem. Genom århundraderna har våldtäkt ansetts vara en oundviklig konsekvens av krigföring och det är inte förrän relativt nyligen som det internationella samfundet har erkänt att våldtäkt kan fungera som ett stridsmedel. Teorierna om den systematiska användningen av våldtäkt är många och denna uppsats ska föra fram några av de vanliSystematic rape of women in wartime is an ancient issue. For centuries, rape was seen as an inevitable by-product of war and it is not until recently that the international community has recognized rape as a weapon of war. There are several reasons for the systematic use of rape in times of conflict and this thesis will provide some of the most generally received theories. The International Crim

I Sverige såväl som övriga världen ökar befolkningen för varje dag som går. Våra städer förtätas och överallt dyker nya byggnader upp. Förutom att uppföra fler byggnader vill vi även att dessa ska vara höga och på andra sätt komplexa. Detta ställer i sin tur högre krav på projektören som ska säkerställa byggnadens brandskydd. För att bestämma hur brandskyddet ska utformas i byggnader kan projektöAs buildings get more and more complex and our cities get more and more populated, challenges arise for the persons involved in designing buildings. One of the most important system, the fire protection measures, needs to be designed properly for every building. As the buildings get more complex, the fire protection design needs more often to be flexible and appropriate for the situation. One way

Allt fler organisationer använder sig idag av det digitala kommunikationsverktyget “chatbots” i sin kundtjänst för att kommunicera med sina användare. Den främsta anledningen till att chatbots i form av kundtjänst blir allt vanligare på organisationers webbsidor är att de kan effektivisera verksamheten och därmed reducera kostnader. Det har alltså skett en förändring i hur organisationer kommuniceToday, organizations are using the digital communicative tool ‘chatbot’ in their cus-tomer service to communicate with their customers. The main reason for using this new technology on organizations’ websites is that chatbots can make the customer service more efficient, hence reduce organizational costs. As a result, the chatbots have altered the way organizations and customers communicate with o

Deep learning is an emerging machine learning technique which can find complex patterns in large amounts of data. This makes it useful for several applications in smart grids, which often involve the processing of large amounts of data. However, there are reasons to be sceptical of its suitability as the black-box nature of deep learning could be a problem since power grids are important infrastru

Bland rävar och igelkottar. Ibsen, Strindberg och det moderna dramat som kunskapshistoria (Among Foxes and Hedgehogs: Ibsen, Strindberg, and Modern Drama as History of Knowledge) is an exploration of modern drama as it relates to one of main features of modernity – specialization. The thesis is meant to function as a pilot study for a larger research project wherein the twofold aim is i) to shed l

In this thesis, the tilt locking scheme is applied to create an error signal that monitors length changes in a fibre-based microcavity. To find a robust and precise locking technique is an essential step towards quantum operations on single rare-earth ions doped in microcrystals. Quantum computing and information is a frontier of modern physics. Many scholars believe that Quantum technology will

Förekomsten av surrogatmoderskap i Sverige ökar, detta trots att Sveriges inställning till surrogatmoderskap alltid har varit avvisande. Den rättsliga regleringen kring assisterad befruktning och fastställande av föräldraskap syftar till stor del till att motverka förekomsten av sådana arrangemang. För att genomgå surrogatmoderskap vänder sig därför svenska personer till utlandet, där metoden är tThe prevalence of surrogacy in Sweden is increasing, even though Sweden's attitude to surrogacy always has been dismissive. The legal regulation regarding assisted reproduction and determination of parenthood is largely aimed at counteracting the existence of surrogacy. To be able to use a surrogacy mother, Swedish citizens therefore turn abroad, where the method is permitted and where they ca

During recent years, the world has experienced a trend of diminishing freedoms. The failure of governments around the world to tackle polarization and inequality has resulted in a discontent amongst people. A discontent which has been exploited by autocratic and populist leaders claiming to have the right answers. Such a development has occurred in Hungary, where the Fidesz government has transfor

This essay investigates the underlying dimensions of crime prevention in the urban area Sofielund in Malmö Sweden through the lens criminological theories and models. The purpose was to determine what kind of methods are used, if there are differences in how they are presented in relation to crime prevention and if some forms of methods are more popular that others. Sofielund is used as an example

The aim of this thesis is to develop an understanding of how Swedish retailers selling goods on the consumer market and the competition among them have been affected by the growth of e-commerce between the years 2007-2015. Firm specific data from 133 firms have been used together with market specific data estimated from 6850 firms to analyse why some firms do better than others, and which decision

Purpose - This thesis examines MCS in Swedish companies. The purpose of the thesis is to assess formal and informal controls to understand how companies use them to effectively integrate a sustainability strategy in their organisation and implement CSR activities into practice. In this context the study addresses the research question: How do different leading Swedish companies, in terms of su

Statistical modelling could be included in a betting strategy where the value of a bet is assessed by comparing model predictions and market odds. This thesis presents several models based on statistical learning methods for predicting the total number of corners in a football match. Generalised linear regression and decision tree models were developed and their profitability was examined by using

Multi-User Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MU-MIMO) technology has become increasingly important in the field of wireless communication due to its ability to highly increase the capacity and efficiency of wireless networks [1]. Beamforming, as a technique used in MU-MIMO systems, improves network performance by improving signal quality and reducing interference. With the emergence of 5G and beyond

Likabehandling av män och kvinnor på arbetsmarknaden utgör en central aspekt för att uppnå jämställdhet i samhället. En grupp arbetstagare som identifierats som särskilt utsatta är förvärvsarbetande föräldrar. Familje-bildning innebär en ingripande livsomställning som ibland kan vara svår att förena med arbetslivet. Därmed uppfattas inte sällan graviditet, vård av sjukt barn och föräldraledighet sEqual treatment for men and women in the labour market is a key aspect of gender equality. Labour law plays a crucial role in providing protection for workers against disadvantageous treatment and discrimination. A group that falls particularly vulnerable towards this sort of unfair treatment are working parents. For many, starting a family is a pivotal moment and one that naturally requires immen
