Background Scania’s production unit in Oskarshamn manufactures and supplies truck cabs to the European market. In order to remain competitive, it is necessary for the company to re-evaluate its competencies and technologies. Thus, it is of great interest for Scania to investigate what value newly acquired technology can provide to the company and its operations. Problem description As a part of S

Trots FN:s 17 globala mål och Sveriges nationella mål om ett fossilfritt Sverige 2045 är bilen fortfarande det vanligaste transportmedlet i Sveriges största städer. Cykeln är ett miljövänligt och platseffektivt alternativ till bilen och många europeiska länder satsar man på att främja cykling idag. Cykelgatan, som är en trafikutformning som har testats i Sverige sedan 2007, syftar bland annat tillDespite the UN’s 17 global goals and Sweden’s national goal of a fossil-free Sweden 2045, the car is still the most common means of transport for Sweden's largest cities. The bicycle is an environmentally friendly and space-efficient alternative to the car and many European countries are investing in promoting cycling today. The bicycle street, which is a traffic design that has been tested in

Föroreningar i dagvatten är en stor bidragande faktor till dålig vattenkvalitet i sjöar och vattendrag, och en stor andel av dessa föroreningar generas av mänskliga aktiviteter. Dagvattens föroreningssammansättning varierar kraftigt beroende på vilka ytor vattnet kommer i kontakt med. I ett jordbruksdominerat landskap transporteras stora mängder näringsämnen via ytavrinning och dränering till närl

Based on the increasing rate of globalisation resulting in a more diverse workforce, the purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between diversity and job satisfaction in medical R&D teams. Determining such a relationship is highly valuable for managers of R&D teams to ensure the best possible output from the team, reducing turnover and keeping existing talent within the t

I Sverige planeras det för höghastighetsjärnvägar, med högre hastigheter än vad som används idag, för att binda samman landets tre storstadsregioner. I samband med detta krävs ett utvecklingsarbete av olika järnvägstekniska lösningar där kontaktledning är ett av områdena som utvecklas för att möta högre hastighetskrav. Detta examensarbete syftar på att analysera och jämföra olika kontaktledningssySweden is planning for highspeed railway with higher speed than used today between the country's three large metropolitan regions: Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö. In connection with this, various technical solutions, where the overhead catenary system is one area, must be developed further to meet higher speed requirements. This thesis aims to analyse and compare different catenary systems ag

I många sammanhang är man intresserad av lösningar till ekvationer eller den geometriska strukturen av lösningarna till en mängd ekvationer, speciellt då det inte går att ange dem explicit. Även enkla exempel av detta finns: ekvationen $x^2+y^2=1$ definierar en cirkel, men det går inte att beskriva alla reella tal som löser den utan att man använder transcendentala funktioner. Algebraisk geometri We provide an introduction to scheme-theoretic algebraic geometry, which studies spaces that are in essence locally solutions to systems of polynomial equations, and prove the weak Mordell-Weil theorem. The weak Mordell-Weil theorem states that for an elliptic curve $E$ over a number field $K$, the quotient $E(K)/mE(K)$ is finite for all $m\geq 2$. The proof is adapted from a proof in the language

Klimatförändringar orsakade av människans aktivitet har de senaste åren varit i fokus runt om i hela världen. Bygg- och anläggningssektor som står för en femtedel av växthusgasutsläpp jobbar ständigt för att hitta hållbara och ekonomiskt lönsamma metoder för att uppnå uppsatta klimatmål. Inom asfaltsindustrin har biobaserade bindemedel den senaste tiden börjat testas för att undersöka potentialen Bio-based binders have recently been introduced to reduce the dependence on fossil raw materials, which bitumen is produced of. Measurements with dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) and rotational viscometer (RVB) were performed on mixtures with bitumen and two different types of bio-based binders, namely Lignin 1 and Lignin 2. Parameters like softness point, viscosity and parameters used to evaluate ru

Participation in corporate accelerator programmes is considered a powerful tool for early-stage start-ups for operational go-to-market and strategic business development acceleration. With the COVID-19 outbreak, all the activities related to the corporate accelerators were forced to move online. However, due to the novelty of the phenomenon, the influence of switching the modality of corporate acc

Capacity shortages in electricity grids can impose significant costs on society due to missed investments in industry. Due to limited profit opportunities and long lead times, grid reinforcements are not a viable solution to the problem, which must therefore be prevented through efficient use of existing grid resources. Local flexibility markets can financially compensate electricity users to shif

In this Bachelor's thesis, a solution to the Dirichlet problem using Brownian motion is given. Brownian motion is constructed using Kolmogorov's existence and continuity theorems. Blumenthal's zero-one law and the strong Markov property in various formulations are proven. Using these results, a solution to the Dirichlet problem is given using Brownian motion. The cone condition which g

This study analyzes the return to schooling in 22 countries. More specifically, the effect on earnings of receiving a bachelor’s and a master’s degree is estimated by applying a propensity score matching approach on microdata. Unlike many other techniques, propensity score matching addresses selection bias to a higher extent making the estimates of the treatment effect on the treated more reliable

PAPR Credentials is the name of a not yet published credential scheme that provides conditional privacy for its users. This means that an administrator can choose to revoke a user's anonymity. Doing so, however, the administrator must broadcast her intention, as the success of the privacy revocation depends on the help of other users, since the administrator does not have access to sufficient

Where do the children learn? A crucial part of our social construction, education and its space, has changed and is adapting to new knowledge and studies to improve the quality of the learning process. Space should represent the values and growth of society. The changing mindset does not mean that we deny or forget theories, strategies and resources that we have developed throughout history, but

This paper studies whether the level of IPO underpricing is enforced by increased firm complexity. Evidence from a sample of 215 Swedish IPOs between 2010–2020 suggests that investor’s ex-ante uncertainty increases as issuing firms become increasingly complex. As a consequence, firms exhibiting complexity generally experience higher degrees of IPO underpricing. Moreover, we find support for our cl
