Context The context of this research is software process improvement (SPI) success factors for small and medium Web companies. Objective The primary objective of this paper is to propose a theoretical framework of SPI success factors for small and medium Web companies. Method The theoretical framework presented in this study aggregated the results of three previous research phases by applying prin
Genom osteohistologiska analyser kan stora mängder information erhållas. Förutom möjligheten att uppskatta åldern och mognadsgraden hos ett djur kan tillväxtsmärken i skelettet, så kallade ’growth marks’ eller GM, också innehålla information om benens tillväxtshastighet, djurets tillväxtstrategi och till och med levnadssätt. Denna studie avhandlar histologin hos fossiliserade ben tillhörande en haOsteo-histology provides information on age, growth strategies, and lifestyles of both recent and ancient animals. This study deals with the histology of fossilized bone from three groups of tetrapods – sea turtles, ichthyosaurs and plesiosaurs – all secondarily adapted to marine life, but with rather different bone microstructures. As a result of extensive vascularization (i.e. osteoporosis), ich
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Hjälper Nhandugue-flodens vatten Urema-sjön i Gorongosa Nationalpark, Moçambique, från att torka ut? I de centrala delarna av Moçambique ligger Gorongosa Nationalpark som skyddar ett omfattande ekosystem av flodplan, gräsmarker och skogsbeklädda områden. Efter drygt 20 år av inbördeskrig hade 1994 antalet stora däggdjur, så som lejon, zebror och bufflar, minskatGorongosa National Park in central Mozambique is situated at the southernmost extension of the East African Rift System (EARS), the Urema Rift. The park is protecting a vast ecosystem of floodplains, grasslands and woody coverage. From 20 years of civil war the large-mammal population in the park had in year 1994 been reduced by 90 % or more, and in 2004 a restoration project was started in order
Rebound effects, though well-documented in consumption areas such as household energy consumption, have been far less explored in nutrition. This is despite the fact that the nutrition may be just as crucial of a consumption area when considering how to reduce carbon footprints in personal lifestyle choices. This thesis explores the existence of one of the possible mechanisms behind a rebound effe
This paper aims to examine the relationship between aircraft leasing and the financial performance of American publicly listed airline companies. In doing so, this paper aims to contribute to the academic literature on leasing within the financial management literature. In addition, this paper aims to provide insights for decision-makers working within airlines (e.g., financial officers) or extern
In recent years, researchers worldwide have become increasingly interested in the phenomenon of code-switching in the multilingual classroom. The paper aims to try to understand when and why teachers in Swedish for Immigrants (SFI) schools code-switch in their classrooms. It analyses the methods and reasons for teachers’ code-switching in the SFI classroom. A case study was conducted by means of a
This thesis presents a method, from an article by Gouveia and Stone, for solving resonant ODE:s as well as ODE:s with multiple roots, based on perturbation theory. It also gives a mathematical justification for the method as well as background on resonance and repeated roots. Later in the thesis we use the method to solve a number of ODE’s, illustrating its usefulness.
Automation with the use of robotics is a crucial trend across industries, enhancing efficiency and quality while improving health and safety conditions by minimizing human exposure to hazardous tasks. Alfa Laval, a global provider of products within heat transfer, separation, and fluid handling, is embracing this trend by exploring how to solve labor-intensive processes like the production of rubb
In Tanzania, there has been a notable increase in the importation and sale of secondhand clothing, popularly referred to as Mitumba, with a significant focus on low-income populations. This growth has been driven by the affordability and accessibility of these garments, which have become a staple in the wardrobes of many Tanzanians. However, with all of this growth, there are now urgent concerns a
In the summer of 2014, a violent conflagration erupted in the isolated Palestinian enclave of Gaza. Whilst the fighting was between Hamas and Israel, Palestinian civilians paid the price. The stark disparity in deaths triggered a debate in the West about Israeli tactics, and the media was accused of ‘bias’ by both Israelis and Palestinians. What this controversy reveals is that the argument is abo
Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) are increasingly adopted as sustainable alternatives to shift fossil fuel reliance. However, because of battery dependence, their heating systems face significant efficiency losses due to frost formation on heat exchangers in cold climates. This study investigates a capacitance-based sensing approach to detect ice buildup on automotive heat exchangers, aiming to op
This thesis studies the flood risks in Yogyakarta City, Indonesia, focusing on the Kali Belik River area, and explores the regulations and design principles aimed at enhancing flood risk reduction and management in the city. The discussion begins at the global level, analysing frameworks such as the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, and transitions to the local level, assessing the cha
Galectins are proteins that bind to carbohydrate structures, with high affinity for β-galactoside ligands that exists naturally in our bodies. They are involved in the development of various diseases, including central nervous system diseases and cancer proliferation. Galectin-1, which is the focus in this thesis, is related to anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective functions in the brain. Drug del
Artificial intelligence (AI) development thrives on global datasets, yet every outbound transfer of EU personal data must now satisfy two demanding regimes; the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Artificial Intelligence Act (AIA). The GDPR lets exporters rely on Adequacy Decisions, standard contractual clauses, or other Article 44-49 tools only if they can guarantee an “essentia
As industrial sectors and digital infrastructure expand, the global demand for high-volume, reliable manufacturing of thermal management solutions like heat exchangers continues to accelerate. This thesis investigates the design and optimization of an automated robotic assembly cell for heat exchanger production at Alfa Laval using Discrete Event Simulation (DES). The primary objective was to defi
The thesis examines how the AI Act’s Article 2(3) security exemption and Article 346 TFEU interact in the context of dual-use AI systems. It argues that this interaction creates legal uncertainty regarding the status of technologies that can serve both civilian and military or security purposes. The AI Act applies to AI systems in the internal market, but excludes those used exclusively for milita
α-CGRP 8-37 is a peptide fragment of calcitonin gene-related peptide and is commonly used as a CGRP antagonist in pharmacological research. CGRP signaling has been discussed in relation to neuroimmune mechanisms in psoriasis, but a practical development of α-CGRP 8-37 requires analytical methods and formulation strategies that can handle peptide instability, adsorption, and matrix effects. The aim
This thesis investigates the design and evaluation of Large Language Model (LLM) agent assistants for industrial maintenance, developed in cooperation with SSAB. The study focuses on identifying what combinations of tools and architectures best serve the needs of maintenance technicians, with an emphasis on practical usability and factual correctness. Multiple agents were developed and compared,
