Loss of focus in surveillance cameras can occur due to factors such as environmental aspects, sabotage or system errors. The focus loss leads to degraded footage that is of no use for either post-investigation or automatic video analysis. It is therefore of the utmost importance to provide an automatic detection system in order to resolve the issue as fast as possible. The most popular approach
I svensk rätt är tvångsinlösen av minoritetsaktier ett lagförankrat koncept. Det medför att en majoritetsägare i ett aktiebolag under vissa förutsättningar kan lösa in minoritetsägarnas aktier mot deras vilja. Är rekvisiten för tvångsinlösen uppfyllda förutsätter tvångsinlösen inte en överenskommelse mellan aktieägarna utan kan genomföras av majoritetsägaren ensam. En av de stora diskussionspunktA majority shareholder’s right to enforce an acquisition of the minority shares in a share company (Sw: “aktiebolag”) is protected by Swedish law. The protected right to do so entails that a majority shareholder, provided that certain prerequisites are met, is entitled to acquire the minority shares regardless of the minority shareholders’ willingness to sell. Thus, if the prerequisites of the pro
The phenomenon of hybrid work, combining remote and on-site work, has gained popularity in recent years following the COVID-19 pandemic. This shift has introduced new dynamics in the workplace, calling for a reevaluation of leadership practices in order to address the challenges and opportunities hybrid work brings. Despite the growing usage of hybrid work models, there is limited research on the
Purpose: In an explorative manner this thesis aims to research how the content of CEO-statement affects non-professional investors’ opinion of a company’s prospects. Methodology: This study is to be considered a qualitative study based on an inductive orientation regarding the role of theory. A cross-sectional design has been followed for the gathering of empirical data. Semi-structured interview
Background: Volvo Cars, an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) in the automotive industry expressed an interest in potentially expand the criteria used when selecting suppliers. This in an industry with a complex supply where suppliers are getting increased power. Additionally, intangible criteria are getting more attention than before in the supplier selection process. One criterion addressing
Orwak is a company that has manufactured machines for waste compaction, mainly cardboard and soft plastic, for over 30 years. They offer the customer a complete compression solution which improves the efficiency and the total economy. In 2006, Orwak introduced a new marketing concept called “Less is More” to improve their sales. In this concept, Orwak has identified and presented ten important fac
This article explores how quantitative organological analysis can be implemented alongside historical musicology to help stimulate creativity in performance practice while promoting a diversity of timbre that is often lost amidst the hegemonic propagation of homogenized, normalized modern musical instruments. The tuba family provides an insightful case study demonstrating how the history and devel
Denna uppsats undersöker gränsdragningsproblematiken mellan inkomstslaget tjänst och näringsverksamhet vid utövandet av hobbyverksamhet. Med hjälp av den rättsdogmatiska metoden har lagtext, förarbeten, rättspraxis och doktrin undersökts för att fastställa gällande rätt. Gränsen för när en verksamhet klassificeras som hobby respektive näringsverksamhet är i många fall svår att avgöra. Huruvida en
Mitochondria were isolated from fresh beetroots (Beta vulgaris L. cvs Rubria and Nina) by differential centrifugation followed by Percoll gradient centrifugation. These purified mitochondria oxidized external NADH, although relatively slowly (20-40 versus 100-120 nanomoles oxygen per minute times milligram protein for NADH and succinate oxidation, respectively), with respiratory control ratios of
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are thought to contribute to the secondary injury process after traumatic brain injury (TBI). ROS scavenging compounds have shown neuroprotective properties in various models of experimental brain injury, including TBI. Administration of nitrone radical scavengers has emerged as a promising pharmacological concept in focal experimental ischemia due to their low toxici
The key success factor for companies is to develop and deliver services and products that satisfy customer needs and create customer value. When introducing e-businesses as a new channel, it is becoming increasingly important to consider customers, since they will have a higher level of influence on the company through the interactive channel. This paper sets out to describe the process of conside
We have investigated spin accumulation in Ni/Au/Ni single-electron transistors assembled by atomic force microscopy. The fabrication technique is unique in that unconventional hybrid devices can be realized with unprecedented control, including real-time tunable tunnel resistances. A grid of Au disks, 30 nm in diameter and 30 nm thick, is prepared on a SiO2 surface by conventional e-beam writing.
The aim of this thesis is to examine the relationship between writing and alterity in three recent novels written by J. M. G. Le Clézio, Désert (1980), Onitsha (1991) and La quarantaine (1995), which deal with the encounter between the so-called primitive cultures and Western society. The first chapter contains a more general discussion on the discourse of alterity in literature and the French exo
Research in service management and marketing has in the past decade highlighted the concept of value creation. In service organizations value creation is described as a process in which the customer uses a company's value proposition in a meaningful way. However, research has tended to ignore the contextual meaning, and few empirical studies have shown how context is relevant. Therefore, the aim o
It is tempting to assume that Information Systems Development Methodology (ISDM) is clearly understood because it has attracted researchers across a range of research fields offering a rich set of descriptions and explanations of ISDM. Although there are considerable studies on ISDM, this paper argues that different disciplinary interests have resulted in fragmented assessments. Consequently, this
Popular Abstract in Swedish Vill man ta en bild av något som rör sig mycket snabbt, krävs det att man använder en kort exponeringstid. Om kamerans slutare är öppen under för lång tid, hinner det man vill fotografera röra sig under tiden filmen exponeras, med resultatet att bilden blir suddig. Kemiska reaktioner där atomer och molekyler är inblandade är exempel på något som sker på väldigt kort tid
The European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC), which covers a large cohort of half a million men and women from 23 European centres in 10 Western European countries, was designed to study the relationship between diet and the risk of chronic diseases, particularly cancer. Information on usual individual dietary intake was assessed using different validated dietary assessm
