Under den senaste tiden har det skett en betydande ökning av intresse inom forskningen och utvecklingen av arbetsflödesmotorer som är tekniska verktyg för att styra en sekvens av steg och processer. Detta har bidragit till bättre automatisering av komplexa och tidskrävande arbetsprocesser. I en del av de verksamhetssystem som Advania levererar finns det ofta ett behov av att kunna sätta upp och koIn recent times, there has been a significant increase in interest regarding the research and development of workflow engines, which are technical tools to control a sequence of steps and processes. This has enhanced the automation process of complex and time-consuming work processes. In some of the operational systems that Advania delivers, there is often a need to set up and configure different

The brightness of the stars is not uniform over the surface as it varies depending on the wavelength and the atmosphere that the light propagates. Limb darkening is an optical effect caused by a decrease in brightness of the star towards the edge. Depending on which point on the star is observed, the optical depth reaches different atmospheric media, which results in different intensities of light
Refugees often spend over 20 years in what are supposed to be temporary camps, leading to increased violence and abuse. The humanitarian and development sector is seeking long-term solutions to protect their human rights and prevent discrimination. This study aimed to identify which possible solutions the Kenyan government may implement to address the demands of refugees in terms of local integrat

The aim of this the

This thesis investigates the challenges and opportunities associated with implementing sustainable business models in the construction industry, with a specific focus on an established Swedish construction company. The construction industry is a notable contributor to environmental impact, resource consumption, and energy use. There is still a considerable lack in research on the challenges encoun
Excavators have traditionally been diesel driven with hydraulic actuators, but with the ongoing electrification of vehicles, smaller electric excavators are getting more common. Larger electrical excavators are still in a prototyping or early production stage but can be expected to grow. The electrification of construction equipment creates new possibilities to replace previous hydraulic- with ele

The approach takes advantage of the permeability, vascularization, and limited enzymatic activity of nasal tissue, leading to enhanced drug absorption. Moreover, drugs can bypass the blood-brain barrier and directly reach the brain through the olfactory route
