The target development process for this investigation was a development process at a section in the department Application and Service at Sony Mobile Communications AB in Lund, Sweden. The first goal of the thesis was to provide the section with a set

This bachelor thesis concerns the NIR spectral region of the Sr-filament, a substructure of the fan located in the equatorial skirt of Eta Carinae. The primary objective was to identify emission features intrinsic to the Sr-filament, and to tabulate these in a line-list spanning the spectral range λλ990 − 2410 nm. A secondary objective was concerned with the use of identified parity-forbidden atom

Svinn i livsmedelskedjan är ett aktuellt ämne både i branschen och på politisk nivå. En reduktion av matsvinn inom livsmedelsbranschen är intressant från både ekonomiskt och miljömässigt perspektiv. Tidigare forskning har främst fokuserat på butikernas svinn och det råder därför oklarheter i hur hanteringen av svinn i tidigare led i försörjningskedjan ser ut. Frukter och grönsaker är den varugrupp

This thesis aims to develop the research focused on the economic value of deal terms in venture capital (VC) contracts. The study looks at common features (covenants) in a Venture Capital contract such as preferred equity, ceased participation, liquidation preference, and dividends. Different deal terms (covenants) and their outcomes for the VC are tested in order to examine if significantly diffe

Post-operativt illamående och kräkning (PONV) är den komplikation som patienter upplever som svårast att hantera i samband med operation, 15-50% av bröstopererade kvinnor drabbas. Olika förebyggande åtgärder kan vidtas men det finns ingen standard för profylaxbehandlingen av PONV. Sjukhusen i Lund och Kristianstad har olika förebyggande behandlingar. Syftet är att undersöka effekter på postoperati

Rätten till utveckling (på engelska “Right to development” (RTD)) är en mänsklig rättighet som har bekräftats av FN: s generalförsamling i ”the Declaration on the Right to Development” (DRD) från 1986. Rätten har också bekräftats av flera internationella deklarationer och två regionala mänskliga rättighetskonventioner, ”the African [Banjul] Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights” och “Arab Charter oThe right to development (RTD) is an inalienable human right that has been affirmed by the United Nations General Assembly in the Declaration on the Right to Development (DRD), in 1986. The right has also been reaffirmed by several international declarations and in two regional human rights conventions, the African [Banjul] Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights and Arab Charter on Human Rights, and

Purpose: To explore and describe how country-of-origin has its effect towards both high- and low-context culture societies. Theoretical perspectives: Country-of-origin effect, cultural context, international marketing. Methodology: A comparative study using six focus group discussions to obtain differences and similarities on country-of-origin effect in both high- and low-context culture societies

Quantication of cardiovascular flow and blood volumes are useful tools in diagnosing cardiovascular disease such as congenital heart defects and different kinds of valve leakage. Medical imaging techniques enables non-invasive analysis of anatomy and physiology. In order to perform flow quantification from medical image sequences, the boundaries of the vessels of interest are usually delineated ma

Koronarkirurgi och/eller klaffoperationer med sternotomi genererar ofta uttalad smärta och anestesin har vid thoraxkirurgi länge grundats på användandet av stora doser av opioiden fentanyl. De senaste åren har den snabbverkande opioiden remifentanil kommit att användas i högre grad. Syftet med studien var att postoperativt utvärdera och jämföra effekten av perioperativ fentanyl och remifentanil ad

Kandidatuppsatsen i samhällsplanering syftar till att belysa brukarmedverkan i planering. Fokus ligger på landskapet och den Europeiska landskapskonventionen. Frågorna som tas upp och besvara, med hjälp av en fallstudie och kvalitativa intervjuer, är följande: - Vilka är motiven till medborgardeltagande i fysisk planering? - Vad innebär den europeiska landskapskonventionen i, och vad säger den om

Background: Historically, the use of packaging has often been regarded as a necessary evil, associated with unnecessary costs, but needed to enable distribution of goods. Today many companies have begun to realise that the packaging can have a major impact on the supply chain. For Tetra Pak, it is of great importance to be able to offer deeper insights to the costs incurred by their packages, thus

Due to the lack of cohesiveness and progress in the academic field concerning statelessness, this essay examines a cross-section of said academic field to determine its ‘blind spots’. By determining the blind spots this essay aims to give new input that may result in further research concerning the pressing issue of statelessness. Seven academic articles are scrutinized and compared in order to re

Investigating the dynamics of blood flow is essential to understanding the cardiovascular system and its pathologies. Phase Contrast Magnetic Resonance Imaging (PC-MRI) enables acquisition of 4-dimensional time resolved velocity experiments. Slice-by-slice analysis of the data is time consuming and cumbersome. In this master thesis a simple but eective algorithm for fully automatic visualization o

Studiens huvudsakliga syfte var att undersöka den relativa betydelsen av social inlärning jämfört med familjens emotionella miljö och anknytning för emotionsreglering hos barn i mellanbarndomen. Barns kunskap och medvetenhet kring upplevelser av egna svåra känslor (rädsla, ilska ledsenhet, besvikelse), föräldrarnas svåra känslor (ledsenhet, rädsla, hjälplöshet) samt öppenhet i familjen studerades.

The covered interest rate parity (CIP) states that the difference in interest rate between two identical assets, denominated in different currencies, should explain the difference between the spot price and the forward price in the foreign exchange markets. However, empirical studies have suggested that the CIP condition does not always hold. This study empirically tests the CIP condition during t

In 1996 the European Union and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) adopted the 2°C climate target to prevent dangerous climate change and to limit the rise in global mean temperature to 2°C above the preindustrial level. If this is possible to accomplish, with increasing emission of greenhouse gases, is hard to tell. There are today many uncertainties within the conn

The horizontal principle which usually applies when it comes to international law is not more universal than the human rights they concern. At least not in all of the worlds regions. This thesis´ starting point is Africa and is based on a combination of theory of power and empirical examples from the colonial era. It argues that the power relations between the state and the individual generated un

This report contains an environmental investigation of the farming education at Svalöf’s upper secondary school in Svalöv. The work has followed the steps for an ISO 14001 certification. Two other certifications, EMAS and Grön Flagg, have also been analyzed to investigate which certification that would be most suited for this place. Information about the certification IP Sigill was also put togeth

In this essay, we research the ideal way to look and behave seen from two of Sweden's largest weekly magazines intended for young women, Veckorevyn and Frida. In our study we cover two issues of these respective magazines. We found that in correlaton to similar studies both magazines likes to portray women as skinny, usually blonde or brunette with next to perfect skin. We also found that both

This essay aims to present the way in which relevant organizations in Sweden argues for who's got a responsibility towards children when they're victims of bullying in social medias. This essay does not want to examine if the way we're dealing with children who're victims of cyber bullying is effective or not, nor do I claim to put forward recommendations for a 'better way'
