This report describes a language and an interactive environment, called LICS, for implementation of control systems and dynamic modelling. It used graphics for representation of the structural properties: hierarchical decomposition, interconnection structure, and structure of the interfaces. The decomposition and interconnection structures are described by block diagrams. Low level modules are des
The status of co-workers has increased due to the expansion of post-bureaucratic and knowledge-intensive organizations. In organization studies the importance of co-workers has for a rather long time been acknowledged. Remarkably has co-workers more or less been neglected in research as well as in practice within the field of strategic communication. In research the overall focus is mainly on the
About 15-20% of all pregnancies end in miscarriage. The phenomenon is common throughout the population, but bereaved women and couples struggle nonetheless. Lang et al. (2011) have shown that a miscarriage can cause shock, grief and pain and lead women into questioning their reproductive abilities. Hiefner (2012) has argued that pregnancy loss is surrounded by a norm of silence, making it difficul
Culture has importance for promoting sustainable social development, integration and for broadening people's perspectives. Thus, both cultural institutions and organizations can be seen as hubs or arenas, where for example an exchange of knowledge takes place, that can give rise to increased tolerance for people’s differences. In Scania the regional cultural department, Kultur Skåne, plays a s
Människor följer ofta en liknande process när de söker sig till professionell vård. Upplevelser av vilka skäl de har för att söka rent faktiskt och vägen fram till att de tar beslutet att söka behövs det dock ytterligare forskning om. Därför är det viktigt att undersöka detta för att utröna människors upplevelse av vilka skäl och funderingar de har fram mot att beslutet att söka vård fattas. DettaPeople generally follow a similar process when seeking professional care. Experience of what reasons they have for actually seeking help and their considerations during the process before they make the decision to seek help is, however, insufficiently researched. Hence, it is important to study this in order to find out people's experience of what reasons and considerations they have during th
This thesis investigates the use of artificial neural networks for classifying Raman spectra of partially degraded cellulose samples by fungal species. A multilayer perceptron configuration of 4 hidden layers and 128 hidden nodes was able to classify a set of 60 samples with an overall prediction accuracy of 0.55. Results show that data resolution is an important factor when optimizing classifier
Mantelplymhypotesen har varit föremål för omfattande debatt under lång tid, ända sedan den publicerades 1971. Denna hypotes förklarar vulkanismens ursprung genom antagandet att ett extremt varmt mantelmaterial stiger upp under litosfären genom smala kanaler. Hypotesen har accepterats av geologer och har använts för att förklara vulkanism på platser som Hawaii och Island. Trots detta har hypotesen
År 2019 introducerade EU det så kallade visselblåsardirektivet. Direktivet tillkom för att komma till rätta med oegentligheter på den inre marknaden och stärka skyddsnivån för visselblåsare. Till följd av direktivets nya krav och bestämmelser behövde samtliga medlemsstater i EU ändra sin nationella lagstiftning på området. Enligt direktivet ska varje rättslig enhet med 50 eller fler arbetstagare hIn 2019, the EU introduced the so-called Whistleblower Directive. The directive was established to address misconduct in the internal market and strengthen the level of protection for whistleblowers. As a result of the directive's new regulations, all EU member states needed to amend their national legislation in this area. According to the directive, every legal entity with 50 or more employe
Development aid has been criticized for maintaining an unequal power relationship between donors and recipients and has therefore been compared to a form of colonialism. Post-colonial critics of development work argue that it reproduces colonial discourses, in which aid recipients are portrayed as subordinate to Western donors. This unequal power relationship also manifests itself materially, for
This thesis will be concerned with one of the main concerns and highly discussed topics in the relationship between Article 102 TFEU and Intellectual Property Rights. Predominately, it will focus on the enforcement of IPR(s) as an abusive practise of dominance and whether a dominant undertaking has the ability to protect its IPR by refusing to licence its IPR to a third party. The main purpose wi
År 2008 påbörjades en förstudie för att införa nya växlar samt växeldriv i Trafikverkets standardsortiment i samband med Innotrack-projektet. År 2009 vann företaget Vossloh upphandlingen med omläggningsanordningen Easyswitch 1.0. Drivet skulle installeras tillsammans med 60E växlar. År 2015 stoppades utrullningen av Easyswitch 1.0 på en bestämd tid på grund av driftstörningar, planen var att återiIn 2008, a feasibility study was started to introduce new railway switches and point machines in the Swedish Transport Administration's standard assortment in connection with the Innotrack project. In 2009, the company Vossloh won the contract with the point machine Easyswitch 1.0. The point machine would be installed together with 60E-switches. In 2015, the rollout of Easyswitch 1.0 was halte
The Einstein-Hilbert Lagrangian for gravity is non-renormalizable at loop level. However, it can be treated in the effective field theory framework which means that gravity as an effective theory can be renormalized when a proper expansion of the effective Lagrangian is made. At the same time, the Feynman rules for gravity are very complicated, although the resulting amplitudes do not have the sam
The most central for the population to grow is the fertility rate. When the birth rate is not the most central for an individual the conditions change the population growth. The fertility rate in Sweden is around 1,88 children per woman, although there has been a drastic increase in the population. This increase, which is a combination of the domestic birth rate and an external increase, has given
A critical discourse analysis about the portrayal of honour-related violence in Swedish newspapers In recent years there has been an increase in the number of articles written about honour-related violence in Swedish newspapers. The aim of this essay is to analyze and highlight how two major Swedish newspapers describe the subject of honour-related violence. More specifically the purpose is to in
In the ongoing library debate part of the focus has been on youth in libraries and how many libraries find them to be a challenging group to work with due to some occurring disturbances. In some cases the youth sections start to lean towards being youth recreation centers. Youth need somewhere to be that isn’t home or school and since there aren’t many open, free of cost public spaces, and many ci
Samlag med syskon är en gärning som sedan hundratals år tillbaka varit kriminaliserat i Sverige. Det är brottsbalkens sjätte kapitel om sexualbrott som reglerar förbudet. Bestämmelsen, som till en början grundades på religiösa skäl, motiveras idag på grundval av socialetiska och arvsgenetiska skäl. Kriminaliseringen och dess motiv har dock under modern tid kommit att ifrågasättas i ljuset av motstSexual intercourse between siblings is something that has been criminalized in Sweden for hundreds of years. It is The Swedish Penal Code’s sixth chapter on sexual offenses that regulate the prohibition. The regulation, which was initially vindicated with religious motives, is today justified based on motives of social-ethical and hereditary character. However, in modern times the criminalization
This master’s thesis is the final step of the master’s degree in Supply chain and Logistics taken in the Lunds Tekniska Högskola. Buying products on the internet is a trend that has been increasing with the passing years. Even though nowadays this shopping behavior is established in our lives, it is predicted that it will keep growing within the next upcoming years. These changes in the shopping b
This thesis addresses what students describe as their reasons for attending university, their descriptions of their encounters with the university milieu, and what significance they believe the existence of a local university such as Halmstad in south-west Sweden may have had in this. The empirical basis of the study consists of interviews with 58 students taking one of three courses at Halmstad U
