It has been proposed that patterns of daily occupations that promote health or cause illness should be possible to identify. By describing patterns as consisting of main, hidden, and unexpected occupations, this study aimed to develop and to evaluate a process for analysing and characterising subjectively perceived patterns of daily occupations. Yesterday diaries describing one day of 100 working

Large and complex software systems are developed as a tremendous engineering effort. The aim of the development is to satisfy the customer by delivering the right product, with the right quality, and on time. Errors made by engineers will always occur when a system is developed, but their number can be decreased by process improvement and their effect can be reduced by removing them as early as po

We consider stochastic population processes (Markov jump processes) that develop as consequence of the occurrence of randon events at random time-inervals. The population is divided into sub-populations or compartments. The events occur at rates that depend linearly with the number of individuals in the different described compartments. The dynamics is presented in terms of a Kolmogorov Forward Eq

Popular Abstract in Swedish Bröstcancer är den vanligaste cancerformen bland kvinnor i Sverige. Ungefär var tionde kvinna beräknas drabbas av bröstcancer, och i Sverige insjuknar ungefär 7.000 kvinnor årligen. Glädjande nog har överlevnaden förbättrats och nästan 90% lever 5 år efter sin diagnos och cirka två tredjedelar kan anses botade. Trots detta dör cirka 1.500 kvinnor i sjukdomen i Sverige vBreast tumours harbour a large amount of genetic and epigenetic alterations, which are associated with e.g. tumour aggressiveness, prognosis, and response to therapy. The heterogeneity of breast tumours is reflected in the identification of at least five molecular subtypes named basal-like, luminal A, luminal B, HER2-enriched and normal-like, which are believed to originate from different cell typ

This paper considers the effects of intermittent injection of a liquid jet or spray on the initial break-up and mixing of one fluid with the surrounding ambient fluid. The aim of the analysis is to describe the physical process and indicate the mechanisms that control the mixing under different flow conditions (time-dependent injection and its frequency relative to the time scales of the flow) and

The breakdown of the ratification process of the EU constitution was in Sweden blamed on a lack of a debate concerning European issues. The constitution can be seen as the best and latest, but in no way the only, example of this problem. The breakdown can also been seen as proof of a larger legitimacy crises within the EU. The aim of the study is to determine whether or not there really was of lac

Interfacial gels, obtained by the interaction of water-dispersible oxidised cellulose nanofibrils (OCNF) and oil-soluble oleylamine (OA), were produced across water/oil (W/O) interfaces. Surface rheology experiments showed that the complexation relies on the charge coupling between the negatively-charged OCNF and OA. Complexation across the W/O interface was found to be dependent on the ζ-potentia

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to provide a cohesive overview of the available self-service and customer value literature, identify customer value in self-service kiosks (SSKs), and analyze this value from the customer experience perspective.Design/methodology/approach – The study comprises a systematic literature review of available works on customer value.Findings – The paper presents co

Den svenska bostadsmarknaden präglas av en bostadsbristsituation, en situation som enligt Boverket förvärrats av omvärldshändelser som covid-19 och kriget i Ukraina. Det är i denna kontext intressant att undersöka orsaken och implikationerna av observerade skillnader i belåningsgrad och marknadsvärdestillväxt mellan kommunala bostadsbolag och privata fastighetsbolag. Syftet med arbetet är att unIn Sweden it has for many years been the common understanding that there is a shortage of housing on the housing market, a situation that according to Boverket has been further worsened by recent world events such as the Covid-19 pandemic and the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine. In this context it was interesting to study the cause of and implications of observed differences in the grow

Användningen av Artificiell Intelligens har ökat de senaste åren och många arbetsgivare väljer att integrera AI i rekryteringsprocessen i syfte att vara kostnads- och tidseffektiva. Men användningen av AI medför betydande nackdelar såsom oavsiktlig diskriminering. Uppsatsen syftar till att undersöka den rättsliga reglering inom diskrimineringsrätten när AI används i rekryteringsprocesser. Vidare k

The Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) camera is a type of camera that covers large areas, up to 360°, in addition to zoom. Some of these cameras are susceptible to tampering, which means that an additional angle measurement feedback is necessary to detect such attempts. This thesis has evaluated the possibility of using MEMS-based IMUs to solve this problem. An advantage of such a system over other solutions, s

To ease railway traffic between countries in Europe, EU have decided that a new common signalling system should be implemented. This new signalling system is ERTMS, which is a shortening for European Rail Traffic Management System. Beside to ease traffic between countries, ERTMS can improve the level of safety and increase capacity on the railway network. The implementation of ERTMS amount a major

The purpose of this project was to reduce the production cost of the drive unit from AB Ph. Nederman & Co product Flowline with 50 % to make it more competitive, and the result is this report as well as a fully operational prototype. During the process I have looked into all of the functions of the existing product and have tried to improve them. The function which I have put most time and eff

Educational investments are made with the expectation that the acquired skills and knowledge will be applied on the labour market. Matching education and occupations lead to lower unemployment and vacancy rates and higher productivity and wages, but several imperfections of the labour market hinder the matching process. Education-occupation mismatch has been found to be positively linked with the

När föräldrar till barn i vårt samhälle blir oense och inte på egen hand kan lösa frågor om vårdnad, boende och umgänge träder vår rättsliga reglering in för att reda ut den konflikt som råder. Regleringen avseende vårdnad, boende och umgänge finns i 6 kap. FB. När en konflikt mellan föräldrar presenteras för socialnämnden eller tas upp i allmän domstol fyller de civilrättsliga reglerna kring vårdThe regulation concerning custody, residence and access are provided in the Swedish Parental Code Chapter 6. When a conflict between parents is presented before the social welfare committee or the general Court, our civil law regulation fills a controlling function as well as a conflict resolution function. Our social welfare committee or our Courts shall ensure that all decisions concerning cus

This master thesis was a project in cooperation with Höganäs AB. The aim was to increase the apparent density (AD) of two biomass chars, by three different agglomeration methods. The reason for the investigation is that biomass char could be used as a reducing agent in the sponge iron process at Höganäs AB. The goal was to exchange anthracite in the reduction mixture to agglomerated biomass char.

The airline industry is undergoing hard time after the deregulation. Incumbents are facing increased competition from the new entrants- low cost airlines and try to keep their market share, which is mainly composed of business travelers to themselves. At the same time low cost airlines by providing low cost, point-to-point services try to compete with incumbents. Strategies of both incumbent and l

This thesis explored the possibility of a techno-feudal reframing of gig work. Previous researchers and theorists have frequently framed gig work within capitalist frameworks, like platform capitalism and piece rate wages, despite gig work’s odd similarities to the feudal organisation of work. Scholars like Durand have pointed out similarities between the digital economy and feudalism without
