Background: A central part of Axis Communications AB is the Operations department, which Axis Operations currently measures performance through a number of indicators or goals that are measured for each function. However, the way performance is measured and presented today does not provide a complete picture and therefore has the potential to be developed further. As the company grows, the need fo
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE A global company aiming at a high market position in the future, which Axis Communications AB is, is forced to address the emerging markets. Axis has previously focused on Brazil, Russia, and China and now it is time to address the fourth BRIC country; India, since it is considered to have one of the world's greatest market potential. Axis works according to their partne
Since the disease was first discovered and defined by the German neuropathologist Alois Alzheimer in 1906, Alzheimer's disease (AD) has been referred to as one of the most detrimental neuronal disorders of mankind. Up to date, it is one of the major topics of modern neuroscience with no cure yet discovered. The number of people diagnosed with AD is likely to increase in the future if healthcar
För att beskriva det naturliga energiflödet till vattenkraftverken i Argentina har man kalibrerat modellen Scania-HBV. I Argentina är vattenkraftverkens installerade elproduktionskapacitet 11095 MW och står för 36 % av den totala kapaciteten. Det är möjligt att göra vinster i elmarknaden genom att modellera inflödet av energi eftersom man bättre kan förutspå hur mycket energi som är tillgängligt f
Syftet med uppsatsen är att redogöra för hur relationen mellan arbetsgivarens arbetsledningsrätt och skyddet för sjuka arbetstagare ser ut, enligt reglerna i lag (1982:80) om anställningsskydd (LAS), och hur detta bedöms av Arbetsdomstolen. Vidare undersöks hur relationen ser ut mellan arbetsgivarens arbetsledningsrätt och arbetsmiljöregleringen, gällande ansvaret för den psykosociala arbetsmiljönThis thesis will investigate the relation between the managerial prerogative and the legal protection for employees that are sick and how this is ruled on by the Labour Court - according to the Employment Protection Act. Furthermore, the relation between the managerial prerogative and the work environment legislation regarding the responsibility for the psychosocial environment in the workplace wi
A problem within the mobile instustry today is creating third-party applications. Generally developer teams have to develop the same application for several platforms and each platform uses a specific native language. A result of this is that many applications both look and act similar; but have different code bases and work very differently beneath the surface. This is a double maintenance prob
Intentionen med mitt magisterarbete är att bidra till att lyfta fram strategier för skådespelare så att de kan arbeta med sin gestaltning genusmedvetet. Arbetet består av en undersökning utfört genom teori, observation, intervjuer och praktisk tillämpning. Målsättningen är att skapa möjliga strategier för framtida konstnärliga arbeten. Mitt arbete har även ambitionen att förena teori och praktik.
This thesis investigates dissuasive emergency signage conveying a message of not utilizing a specific exit door. The thesis analyzes and highlights which features of dissuasive emergency signage have the largest impact on observer preference, interpretation and noticeability of the signage, in addition to analyzing the possibility and effects of causing an increased sense of urgency amongst the ob
Syftet med uppsatsen är att beskriva och analysera hur man styr organisationer där en idé står över vinst, genom att undersöka betydelsen av kultur och motivation. Denna studie baseras på en kvalitativ metod, där semi-strukturerade intervjuer har utförts. Det empiriska materialet har analyserats och testats mot etablerade teorier. Fallstudien har visat att det är svårt att fullständigt implementerThe purpose of this study is to describe and analyze how to control organizations in which an idea is above profit, by examining the importance of culture and motivation. The study is based on a qualitative approach, where semi-structured interviews were conducted. The new empirical material was then analyzed and tested against established theories. The case study concludes that it is difficult to
This thesis aims to describe the hydrogeology and the groundwater flow variations in the area around Färgaren 3 in Kristianstad. The site was occupied by a dry-cleaning business between the years 1906 and 1988 and is now heavily contaminated with the chlorinated solvent perchloroethene (PCE). PCE, and some of its degradation products, are highly toxic. Spreading to the underlying sandstone aquifer
By using Axis pan/tilt/zoom cameras it is possible to create a simple, high quality video conference system, without the need for a separate computer to control the system. This can be achieved by connecting the camera to a standard television set and utilize open standards like the HDMI feature Con- sumer Electronics Control (CEC). With CEC it should be possible to control the system using a stan
På Galgbackens vattenanläggning i Hässleholm tillämpas bassängsinfiltration genom återinfiltration av grundvatten i en isälvsavlagring. Syftet är att kunna leverera dricksvatten med god kvalitet till konsumenterna. Grundvattnet tas från brunnar i Ignaberga och Tyringe och återinfiltreras i isälvsavlagringen. Syftet med detta examenstarbete är att genom en spårämnesstudie undersöka uppehållstid ochGalgbacken water plant in Hässleholm is applying basin infiltration by re- infiltrating groundwater into a glaciofluvial deposit. The purpose is to supply drinking water with good quality to the consumers. Groundwater is pumped from wells in Ignaberga and Tyringe and re- infiltrated into the glaciofluvial deposit. The aim with this thesis is to examine retention and dispersion of the re- infiltrat
This thesis is evaluating the pedestrian modelling software Viswalk for the use as a building evacuation model, by verifying and validating the model. In the verification, a procedure from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is used as a basis to assess Viswalk’s ability to represent pre-evacuation time, movement and navigation, exit usage, route availability and flow constra
Denna explorativa studie syftade till att kartlägga vilka faktorer som påverkar arbetstagares bekvämlighet med att ge och få informell feedback till och från kollegor på den egna arbetsplatsen. Med utgångspunkt i tre frågeställningar undersöktes detta genom kvantitativ metod. För att inte begränsa studien till en specifik arbetsplats eller yrkesgrupp bestod urvalsgruppen av Facebook-kontakter som
Dagens globaliserade värld med snart sagt obegränsade möjligheter att agera snart sagt var som helst i världen har lett till att internprissättnings-frågorna har blivit allt mer essentiella för såväl internationella bolag i in-tressegemenskap som skattemyndigheter. Prissättningen av varor och tjänster mellan bolag i intressegemenskap er-bjuder stora möjligheter att avvika från vad bolag på en konThe global world of today with almost unlimited possibilities to act any- where in the world has led to a situation where transfer pricing has be- come essential to both multinational associated enterprises and tax admin-istrations. The pricing of goods and services between associated companies offers a lot of opportunities to diverge materially from what companies operating in a competitive and
This paper examins the dynamic relationship between the supply of labor and wages in the Chinese agricultural sector using the Lewis model. The Lewis model predicts that as economic growth takes of in a low-income country, wokers will move from the industrial sector and at a certain point called "the Lewis turning point" surplus lbor in the agricultural sector will be depleted and this w
Oxygenases are a group of enzymes that use molecular oxygen to oxidize a substrate, a very important process both biologically and industrially. High-valent Fe(IV)-oxo species have long been implicated as the key reactive intermediates in heme and non-heme iron oxygenases. Since the first well-characterized mononuclear non-heme iron(IV)-oxo complex was reported in 2003, much effort have been put i
Purpose There is a need to find a quick way to assess the impacts of the growing amount of globally manufactured and emitted chemical substances. This paper evaluates the use of Quantitative Structure Activity Relationships (QSAR) for predicting environmental effects of plastic additives in Life Cycle Impact Assessment (LCIA). It also evaluates the impact on so called Characterization Factors (CF)
